Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 169 - 169: 167 Counterattack! Sisi’s Rage

One wanted to jump into the river and the other wanted to stop her. In the struggle, Liu Sisi stumbled and fell directly into Yuan Mengbai’s arms, crying in grief.

She did it on purpose!

Didn’t Di Ruoning like to hold Di Yelei’s waist tightly and not let go?

Did she really think everyone was blind?

Although Yuan Mengbai was a bit older, he was still a gentle young master. She used the same tactic against him, which was making good use of her resources.

She sobbed, and everyone’s faces changed!

“Mom! Mom, don’t die! Don’t leave YingEr all alone, wuwuwu…”

YingEr, who had been quietly following Liu Sisi like a little tail, couldn’t stand the sight before her and cried out, her clear cries making everyone’s hearts ache.

“YingEr! ——”

Crying, Liu Sisi simply embraced YingEr as well, and mother and daughter cried out together.

Yuan Mengbai was also quite helpless, what was this situation in front of him?!

Soft and fragrant in his arms, yet he could not do anything about it!

Being stared at by those deep green wolf eyes, a chill rose from his spine and went straight to his heart!

He could only raise both arms, with a sad face, indicating his innocence.

He even had to endure the two little women secretly using his robes as a face towel, tears and snot constantly wiping on it…

Who did he provoke, him?

Especially Di Yelei, his face was a mix of green, white, black, and green, like a color palette.

Apart from angrily staring at her, the damned little woman had her back to him, lying in another man’s arms, sobbing and crying in sadness.

“Liu Sisi! You…you stop messing around!”

Di Yelei forcefully grabbed Di Ruoning’s hand, his strong grip hurting her so much that she cried out in pain and let go of her hand.

She suddenly sat down on the ground, looking at him in surprise.

“Third Brother…” Di Ruoning’s face turned pale!

He acted as if he hadn’t seen her, taking two big steps to Liu Sisi’s side, forcibly pulling her away from Yuan Mengbai’s arms.

He stood steadily in front of her, his face expressionless as he stared at her.

“What are you crying for? What does it mean to seek death like this!”

His tone was extremely bad, he lifted his sleeve and wiped her face haphazardly, quickly leaving a large red mark on her face, burning with pain.

This time, Liu Sisi really felt wronged and cried! He dared to be fierce to her!

“Third Sister-in-law is framing me, she’s lying! It’s not like that at all! Third Brother, it was clearly her who pushed me into the river, Di Wei saw it! You can ask Di Wei, she witnessed it with her own eyes!”

Di Ruoning fell to the ground, shouting madly like a drowning person grasping the last straw for survival.

Although she was the adopted daughter of the Di Family, Di Yelei had always loved and cared for her like a real younger sister. However, at this moment, the Third Brother who loved her the most was treating her like this!

He actually pushed her away for that woman!

“I…I don’t know anything…”

Di Wei, whose name was called out, hid in the crowd and bit her lip as she looked at Di Ruoning and then Liu Sisi. Suddenly, she turned and ran like a swift wind.

Di Yelei’s gaze darkened, and he didn’t say much on the matter.

Everyone was silent, but some people in the crowd beside them couldn’t help but speak up.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you, woman? Can’t you just apologize? You pushed her into the river; she just wants an apology, and you’re still playing coy. You really are quite a shrew!”

“Absolutely! People today are so arrogant! There’s no sense of responsibility anymore. She’s pregnant! If something really happened… that’s a matter of life and death!”

“She only gets her husband’s favor because she has some good looks. They say one should marry a virtuous wife, but a daughter-in-law like this… Tsk, tsk!”

“…”

The discussion among the crowd caused Di Yelei’s face to change!

“Sisi! Apologize to Ruoning now!”

Liu Sisi’s expression froze, and she was at a loss for words! She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she apologize to the other party!

“Why? Why should I apologize to her? Di Yelei, you bastard!”

Unable to hold back, she gritted her teeth, tried to stop the tears from falling, and turned to run. But Di Yelei was much faster than her! He raised his hand and grabbed her arm with one swift move.

“Don’t go! You apologize to Little Sister right now, or you’re not allowed to leave.”

Although it was Di Ruoning who made the mistake, Sisi was still her Third Sister-in-law, after all. A sister-in-law should act like one and not be jealous over every little thing.

Di Ruoning coughed for quite a while and finally caught her breath. She said apologetically, “Third Sister-in-law, thank you for crying for help earlier. I was wrong to blame you for not jumping into the water to save me. I’m the one at fault here, so I apologize!”

She swayed as she finished speaking, then slowly squatted down to pay her respects to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi remained silent, with a cold sneer at the corner of her mouth, letting the other party bow down to her. She wanted to see just how far the other party would go.

Di Yelei beside her reached out to help her up: “Little Sister, you’re pregnant now, so how can you not take care of yourself? Get up quickly, or you might catch a cold.”

“Third Brother…”

Di Ruoning cried with tears streaming down her cheeks, unable to speak.

“Little Sister, listen to me, go back and change into some dry clothes first. We’ll talk about other things later.”

A gleam flickered in Di Yelei’s eyes as he turned to Yuan Mengbai and said, “Brother-in-law, please take good care of Little Sister since she’s pregnant.”

“Thank you, Third Brother.” Yuan Mengbai quickly nodded his head.

“Good! You’re doing great! Di Yelei, you’re doing great!”

Liu Sisi’s tears continued to fall. Through blurry eyes, she met his determined gaze. Raising her arm, she wiped the tears from her face and then pointed to the spot she had just come through.

“Di Yelei, what is that?”

“What?” Di Yelei was a bit surprised!

“Footprints! These are the footprints from when I walked here with Ruoning from home!”

Because of the net fishing taking place today, the ground was full of water, leaving two different sets of footprints — one large and one small — in the mud.

The smaller footprints stopped at the edge of the muddy area, while the larger ones continued all the way to the riverside. Di Ruoning struggled in the water and was washed downstream. At the moment, everyone was standing quite a distance away from where Di Ruoning had fallen into the water, so the footprints had been preserved perfectly.

“Look! From such a distance, how could I have pushed her? Do you think I can grow wings and fly over there?”

With a distance of more than two meters, it was naturally impossible for her to have pushed anyone!
