Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 202: 200: Ruo Ning’s Outburst, Sisi’s High-profile Counterattack

“If you feel better by picking at me, it brings me joy, this is the intimate happiness between us as husband and wife. What’s it have to do with your little sister?”

Di Yelei was utterly confused.

Liu Sisi gave him a glance. She had to admit that his speaking skills were improving, hitting her weak spot every time.

“Yelei, have you ever thought about it? You’re always appeasing her, but she’s getting more and more lawless. What will you do?”

Saying this, Liu Sisi hopped off the railing and started walking ahead first.

“As I’ve always told you about your little sister, as long as she doesn’t provoke me, and for the sake of the child in her belly, and for your sake, I won’t nitpick with her. But if she insists on provoking me…Just to put it down, I, Liu Sisi, am not a pushover!”

Di Yelei snapped back to reality and quickly followed, “Sisi, don’t worry! If little sister goes over the line, not to mention you, even I won’t appease her anymore…”

I hope you remember this! In her former life she was an orphan, hence she values kin relationships however it didn’t mean she’d back down indefinitely – these are two completely different things.

Liu Sisi thought quietly to herself as she followed Di Yelei, and took a path round up to the back hill of the Zen temple.

Here, there were rows of small wooden houses, and Di Ruoning had been temporarily arranged to stay in one of them.

“Brother… sob sob…”

As soon as she saw the two of them, Di Ruoning’s eyes reddened and she sobbed, calling out to Di Yelei. When Di Yelei approached, she didn’t care about anything and leaped from the wooden bed into his arms, nearly falling off the side of the bed.

“Brother, Ruoning’s stomach hurts so much! Brother, Ruoning is in so much pain, sob sob… Brother!” She cried brokenly.

“Alright little sister, stop crying, you still have a child in your belly, you can’t get overly upset. Don’t let your brother-in-law laugh at you.”

Di Yelei quickly whispered consolation to him.

Watching the siblings, who were hugging each other tightly, an outsider would probably think they were a couple in love!

Liu Sisi seized a chance to glance at Yuan Mengbai beside her. As expected, she saw his hands clenched into fists and veins popping on them.

Instantly, she felt that Di Ruoning was simply courting death!

No matter how much Yuan Mengbai loved her, or how good he was to her, he probably wouldn’t be able to accept the sight of two people who were not siblings by blood hugging each other so intimately. The requirement for women’s “three obediences and four virtues” weren’t strict here, but to embrace her non-biological brother in front of her own husband – if he, Yuan Mengbai, didn’t react, then he wouldn’t be a man!

While the two were still weeping in each other’s arms over there, Yuan Mengbai was nearly unable to control the anger in his heart. His corners of his mouth were twitching constantly. As if he had noticed Liu Sisi’s gaze, he suddenly spoke.

“I’m going to get some hot water.” And he left with the wooden basin in his hand.

The sound of the door opening startled Di Ruoning. She finally lifted her head from Di Yelei’s arms, meeting Liu Sisi’s eyes.

“It’s all your fault… you wicked woman caused all this!”

Di Ruoning was genuinely furious!

She originally decided to play this act, but unexpectedly after the collision, her stomach started to bleed!

How could this not make her angry!

“Don’t take my endurance of you to be a green light for your shamelessness. Di Ruoning, let me repeat this once more!”

Liu Sisi’s voice was faint, it wasn’t so much that she was speaking to Di Ruoning, but rather to Di Yelei.

“Before, you wanted to eat candied hawthorns, I told you that pregnant women would miscarry if they ate it. Your third brother also told you pregnant women shouldn’t eat it, but you blamed me for not giving it to you. You made a fuss and had your third brother snatch the candied hawthorns from my mouth. Not just that! Now you’ve actually got a problem because of eating it, yet you want to put the blame on me, what sort of nonsense is this?”

“You’re talking nonsense! Do you dare to say that you didn’t buy those candied hawthorns?”

Di Ruoning clutches her stomach and shouts sharply: “You see that the candied haws are not working, are you trying to harm the child in my stomach? Liu Sisi, you are incredibly malicious!”

“Wrong! Those candied hawthorns were stolen from my mouth by you! You should know your place and stop with the ridiculous arrogance, don’t overestimate yourself.”

Liu Sisi does not give an inch.

“You! … Anyway, I don’t care, you are the one who hurt me! If something happens to the child in my stomach, I will fight with you!” Di Ruoning threatens loudly.

“Who’s telling the truth and who’s lying, we both know perfectly well! Because of the presence of the brother-in-law here, I didn’t expose you to save your face, but you are shameless! Don’t think that your actions are unknown to others. Be aware, man does, heaven watches! The wheel of karma always turns, it never fails.”

At the moment, with no outsiders present, Liu Sisi doesn’t hold back, she doesn’t give an inch! “Are you crazy? Have you been kicked by a donkey, squashed by a door, pinched by a clam, popped by a fart? Can’t you understand people when they talk?”

She is worried about the other’s stomach for fear of stimulating her, but the opponent does not seem to care about what is in her own stomach.

Since this is the case, she doesn’t need to be polite!

“You shameless woman! You actually dare to curse the child in my stomach! I don’t want to live, Third Brother, you listen…”

Di Ruoning hides in Di Yelei’s arms and doesn’t raise her head. She is crying again.

She holds on tightly.

Soft footsteps can be heard approaching from outside the house, getting closer until they reach the room’s wooden door. But the door does not open, the person just stands outside silently, not making a sound for a while.

“You do not feel shame for yourself! You call me a cheap woman, you are cheaper than me. At least I stand up to what I do, you only know how to frame or set someone up, risking the child in your stomach’s life for a joke. Di Ruoning, you are truly talented!”

Liu Sisi lowers her eyes, hiding the mockery in the depths.

Those who do not court death will not die!

She is looking forward to seeing how long Yuan Mengbai, who is always the perfect gentleman, can endure!

“Enough! When are you two going to stop quarreling?”

Di Yelei forcefully pushes away Di Ruoning, who clings to him like a koala. He finally escapes from her clinging: “A man and a woman shouldn’t be excessively intimate! Little Sister, be mindful of your behavior! What’s all this pulling and dragging about, what does it look like!”

Di Ruoning’s face fills with disbelief!

“Thi… Third Brother? You’re scolding me… you would scold me for her…”

“What ‘her’? Did you waste your more than twenty years of life? She’s your sister-in-law!”

Di Yelei suddenly bursts into rage!

The sound of the door opening interrupts the words the people in the room have not yet finished speaking. Yuan Mengbai walks in from outside.

Anger still covers Di Yelei’s face; Di Ruoning’s face is full of hurt, tears rolling in her eyes, about to fall; only Liu Sisi is leaning against the door, a playful expression on her face, looking at them.

“I… I brought the hot water back.”

Yuan Mengbai makes a casual comment, turning his back to them to pour a cup of water.

“I’m hungry, I’m going to have a vegetarian meal, you guys chat.”

Having suddenly lost the mood to continue watching this drama, Liu Sisi says lightly and leaves the room.
