Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 76

Chapter 76: Borrowing Money

Who would have thought that Di Yelei would actually raise his hand solemnly.

“I, Di Yelei, swear to the heavens: I will treat Sisi well and cherish her for a lifetime! If I break this oath, then heaven…”

“Stop! Who asked you to swear?!”

Liu Sisi, annoyed, hurriedly stood on tiptoes and stretched out her arm to cover his mouth, “As long as I am in your heart, that is enough! I, Liu Sisi, don’t believe in such swears. Hmph!”

Although she said this, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up, with a touch of joy spreading in her eyes and eyebrows.

“Sisi…”

Di Yelei couldn’t hold back anymore. He reached out and grabbed Liu Sisi’s small hand, which was covering his mouth.

His gaze was intense, and the swallowing movement in his throat became more and more pronounced. He subconsciously pulled her into his embrace and kissed her cheek.

The rough stubble on his face brought a tingling, prickling sensation to her skin, causing Liu Sisi to instinctively dodge, but she couldn’t break free from the strength in his arms.

“No…”

Liu Sisi, shy, quickly struggled and avoided his gaze, “There are two children here!”

Di Yelei lowered his head and happened to meet Di Xuan’s curious eyes. Perhaps realizing that his father was watching, he quickly closed his eyes and hid back in his embrace, refusing to show his head again.

Such a move made Liu Sisi’s face flush, and she angrily glared at Di Yelei. Stomping her foot, she quickly turned around, “It’s… it’s late now. Let’s split up and meet directly at the old house.”

“Fine! The village chief’s house is just ahead. I’ll go to Zhang Peng and Li Wu’s houses.”

Di Yelei pointed to the large house at the village entrance with a wide area and swiftly walked away.

Liu Sisi took a deep breath and cheered herself up!

There is no insurmountable obstacle in this world, Sisi, come on!

Despite her own encouragement, Liu Sisi was still doing this sort of thing for the first time. After hesitating for a moment, she finally gathered the courage to knock on Mr. Land Officer’s door.

Mr. Land Officer’s wife was a very kind married woman who smiled and poured a cup of tea for the somewhat restrained Liu Sisi.

“Don’t worry, my old man will be out in a while. You drink some water and rest first.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

Liu Sisi gratefully smiled, stood up to receive the cup, and carefully brought the teacup to YingEr’s face, “YingEr, drink some water.”

Now it was the end of July, but even in the peak of summer, the mountainous areas get cold in the second half of the night, and the mountain winds blow icy-cold on the skin.

The warm water brought warmth to her stomach, and YingEr couldn’t help but nestle in her embrace and smile.

The Land Officer’s wife saw this scene and nodded silently to herself. It seemed that Ye Lei’s new wife was a good one, and at least she truly cared for YingEr.

“So, it’s Di Third Son’s wife. Sit down and let’s talk.”

Apparently, Mr. Land Officer had just got out of bed, and his face still showed prominent creases from sleep.
