Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

She shyly looked at her face and saw a blush spread on Liu Sisi’s cheeks.

“You…bastard! If you continue talking nonsense, sleep in the guest room tonight!”

As she spoke, she pushed him away and walked briskly through the courtyard and into the side hall.

Inside, the voices of several children reading could be heard continuously.

“Madam…”

Ms. Gao walked towards them and heard Liu Sisi’s words, not knowing whether to enter or not.

Di Yelei waved at her.

“You go and serve dinner, Madam must be really tired.”

“Yes, Old Master.” Ms. Gao hurriedly withdrew.

“Sisi, you need to rest more now than before. If you’re tired, won’t your husband be worried?”

As Di Yelei spoke, his hand held hers tightly and never relaxed.

Liu Sisi pulled for two times but could not break free, so she allowed him to lead her into the side hall and sit down.

“You’re so good at sweet talk! By the way, Tianzong sent news today. This is the letter he sent, take a look at it!”

As he spoke, Di Yelei took the letter paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi gracefully took it and read the content of the letter several times, then folded the letter paper again with a worried expression.

“Do you plan to follow Brother Nan’s arrangement and go to the border city?”

“Do you think I should go?”

Di Yelei asked back. After a moment, he changed the subject, “Now that you’re pregnant, if I really go, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back. So I was thinking, should someone else go instead?”

Liu Sisi fell silent for a moment and shook her head: “I’m afraid it’s not that simple. This is a big business of 1,000 treasure horses. If it was easy to find a suitable candidate, Brother Nan wouldn’t ask you to take the risk.”

The reason why Nan Tianzong asked Di Yelei to go personally was mainly that these horses were as important to the people of this era as airplanes and cannons in the future, simply too important!

Di Yelei pondered: “Didn’t Tianzong also say that this matter is not yet finalized? Let’s wait until he finally settles it.”

Although he said this to Liu Sisi, he knew in his heart that if Nan Tianzong told him about it, it was likely already a done deal!

“Well, that’s fine.”

Liu Sisi nodded, then suddenly remembered something else: “By the way! There’s a message from Heilong Mountain asking you to go there tonight to discuss something.”

Di Yelei put away his playful expression and pondered for a moment.

“Who sent the message? Has Old He had any good news recently?”

Last time on Heilong Mountain, Di Yelei and Nan Tianzong arrived just in time, narrowly saving Liu Sisi.

Afterwards, an angry Nan Tianzong tied up the mad Elder Leisure and brought Old He up from the mountain to heal him.

Only then did Liu Sisi learn that Old He had worked for the former Crown Prince!

He had been living in the small town all these years to treat the former Crown Prince’s illness.

“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s him.”

Liu Sisi pursed her lips: “Old He said he would do his best to treat him, but whether it succeeds or not, the final result doesn’t matter. He can’t come down the mountain anyway, so let him be!”

“How could I let him go just like that? Have you forgotten how close you were to dying under his dagger?”

Di Yelei completely disagreed with Liu Sisi’s point of view.

He wouldn’t tell her that he had secretly hinted to Old He to make the medicine more potent, even if it turned him into an idiot, it would be better than having the madness relapse and killing people.

“That was an accident! Actually, it was also my fault, I dragged him into that nightmare!”

Liu Sisi had also recalled that situation numerous times, understanding that the other party would get sick at that time, mostly because she unintentionally made a similar move in the dream that provoked him.

“I don’t care what the reason is. If he dares to hurt you again, he has to pass through me, Di Yelei! By then, don’t blame me for being heartless!”

Whoever dares to hurt Sisi must first get his fists to agree!

“Let’s eat first, and I’ll go up to the mountain when it gets dark.”

Speaking of eating, Liu Sisi just remembered an important matter: “By the way, shouldn’t you hurry up and see if the kids have finished their homework?”

“Alright! Sisi, you go sit down first, I’ll go to the study and check.”

Several children were studying in the study room, even the youngest, Da Mao, was sitting upright.

Di Xuan and Zhang Yun, on the other hand, were supervising each other as they recited from their textbooks, full of enthusiasm for learning.

“Everyone, take a break now, let’s eat and continue learning after dinner.”

“Dad! When did you come back? YingEr didn’t see you.”

YingEr directly flew over and plunged into her father’s arms.

“Be careful! Don’t trip and cry.”

Di Yelei quickly caught her.

“Dad wouldn’t fail to catch me! Dad is so powerful! Hehe…” YingEr looked smug.

“You… let’s go eat.”

Di Yelei carried YingEr and spoke to the other children.

Now, the residence was getting more and more crowded. It was time to get a bigger courtyard.

Di Yelei thought to himself and took everyone to the side hall.

After dinner, he went up to Heilong Mountain again and returned just before daybreak.

As for what he talked about on the mountain, Liu Sisi didn’t ask. It wasn’t that Di Yelei didn’t tell her, but subconsciously she avoided knowing too much about it.

Perhaps because of a psychological shadow, nowadays, whenever Heilong Mountain was mentioned, Liu Sisi felt strange.

Lately, Liu Sisi was also troubled. Since Di Cheng and Xiao Feng got married, Di Cheng had been smiling more. However, troubles also followed.

Xiao Feng was indeed capable, and even after getting married, she still went to help at the shop every day.

But then, more than once in front of Liu Sisi, she indirectly hinted that she wanted Di Cheng to quit his job at the bookstore and open a shop by himself.

Early today, Liu Sisi went to the shop. She already had a headache, and the account book was not adding up, making her headache even worse.

Xiao Feng entered the bookstore gracefully.

“So Third Aunt is also here today, Xiao Feng came to find Di Cheng for some matters.”

As she spoke, she resolutely called for Di Cheng, and the two huddled in a corner of the shop whispering.

From afar, Liu Sisi could faintly hear the sound of their arguing.

This made Liu Sisi’s headache even worse! This quarrel was clearly meant for her to hear!
