Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 400 - : Totally Screwed!

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Totally Screwed!

“A man should earn money to support his family. Our little kitten at home is carrying a child, so your husband naturally has to save some silver in preparation for the children. My colleagues have all been through this, so they understand.”

“Sisi, do you think what your husband said is right?”

Di Yelei had a face full of flattery.

Liu Sisi chuckled and went along with it, lifting her hand and gently swirling her slender fingers on his chest.

“True, Xuan’er is about to go to school, and when Ying’er gets older, I plan to hire a teaching nanny for her to learn etiquette. There is never enough money for all these expenses.”

She carefully adjusted his clothes, a perfect example of a virtuous wife and good mother.

“Yes, yes, oh! I remembered, I have something to talk to Zhang Peng about too, so I might be back later. I’ll leave first.”

Di Yelei suddenly slapped his forehead, hurriedly leaving Liu Sisi behind and fleeing at full speed.

How could this gentle and weak-looking woman have such a strong aura, almost giving him away!

But wait, what did she mean when she spoke earlier? Did she discover something?

Di Yelei frowned!

Looking at the increasingly heavy snow outside, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

He was seeking his own troubles!

At present, right when the day was getting dark and everyone was with their wives and children during the New Year celebrations, he just had to bring this upon himself by running out the house.

Going to Zhang Peng’s home was now out of the question. Where could he hide for half an hour before returning?

Going out on such a cold night was not a smart move.

Behind him, Liu Sisi stared at the tightly closed main entrance, her lips firmly pressed and no smile on her face.

Di Yelei was hiding something from her!

Although she didn’t know what it was, a woman’s intuition was sometimes very accurate!

He hadn’t shown any unusual behavior in the past two days and hadn’t met anyone. The only thing that could have changed his expression must be during the brief moment when he left Zuo Family and Zuo Xingyu saw him out!

This Zuo Xingyu was really not a good person!

Liu Sisi thought angrily and went into the house.

Did he refuse to take the silver she gave him as a show of stubbornness?

That was fine, it would save her some trouble.

Di Yelei did not return until midnight, covered in frost and drenched in sweat. He heated some water to wash up before entering the room.

Liu Sisi had already fallen asleep. He quietly slipped into the quilt, and the sudden cold made Liu Sisi instinctively curl up, waking up from her sleep.

She squinted at him and asked with a slightly hoarse voice, “Why did you take so long? What did Brother Zhang say?”

Di Yelei, who was pulling the quilt, paused for a moment, then hurriedly said, “He, what can he say, it’s all just official business. Don’t bother with these trivial matters, it’s late, let’s get some sleep!”

As he spoke, his big hand reached out, directly hugging the soft fragrant little body into his arms.

“Let go! Don’t press on me! You’re freezing cold all over.”

Liu Sisi suddenly got angry and slapped his arm heavily, then struggled hard to break free from his embrace.

Di Yelei lowered his head and looked at himself, then nodded after thinking for a moment.

He had just come back from outside, covered in wind and snow. How could he not be cold?

“Well, I’ll cover this quilt, hehe! It’s always okay to hug you through the quilt, right? That way, it won’t be cold.”

After saying that, his big hands and feet wrapped around her again, bringing Liu Sisi and the quilt together into his arms, then he sighed contentedly. Having the little woman in his arms reassured him, even just holding her like this made him feel incredibly comfortable all over!

“I say, when will you ever stop?!”

Liu Sisi suddenly got angry, sat up from the bed, and pushed him forcefully: “You’re too heavy! How can I sleep with you pressing on me like this?”

By now, Di Yelei could finally understand that Sisi was angry. Otherwise, he would need a complete overhaul.

“Alright, alright, I won’t press on you. You quickly lie down. It’s freezing outside the quilt. If you catch a cold and hurt yourself, it would be terrible.”

He hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, with a smiling face.

Liu Sisi glared at him several times, staring daggers at him. Then, she lay down again with her back to him, wrapped the quilt tightly, and went back to sleep.

Di Yelei looked like a baffled monk. He thought he had already appeased her when he left, but from the looks of it, she seemed even angrier now!

No matter, when she fell asleep in the middle of the night, she would roll over into his arms anyway.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smirk.

It wasn’t until the next day that he understood why Liu Sisi was so angry and finally realized that it was just the beginning!

After having breakfast, Di Yelei was cleaning up his soap boots.

These boots were excellent in the rain as they kept his feet dry, but they were covered in a thick layer of mud and became heavy and unsightly. While he was making efforts to clean them up, he saw Zhang Peng and his family of three walking in.

“Huh! You guys are up early today. Where are you heading?”

His gaze fell on the considerable amount of incense candles and paper money in Zhang Peng’s hands.

Zhang Peng laughed: “Yelei, you must be still half-asleep. Didn’t I come to tell my sister-in-law last night that we would go to the Goddess of Mercy’s temple to offer incense today? Your memory can’t be so bad that you’d forget something in just half a day, right?”

Di Yelei was a little slow to react: “You mean, you came over last night?”

Why did he suddenly feel like it was getting darker?

Zhang Peng was still clueless, going on and on: “I mean, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard going up to the mountain in such cold weather? You should be more careful from now on, alright? … When I came last night, your sister-in-law had just arrived. We had agreed to go to the temple together today, having fun and helping each other out along the way.”

Seeing his expression, Guihua on the side hurriedly added: “By the way, where’s Sisi? Is she up yet?”

“Sister Guihua, I’m here. I have prepared everything we need to take up the mountain. Don’t worry. I won’t forget.”

Liu Sisi emerged from the inner room with a sly smile on her face, walked past Di Yelei, and put all the things on a nearby stool. Then she stood up and smiled.

“Yesterday, Ying’er said she wanted to get up early, so I’ll go and check if she has finished washing.”

After finishing, she turned around again, looking solemn, as she moved to the inner room, lifting the curtain to enter. The curtain swayed continuously, just like Di Yelei’s heart at the moment.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the baffled family in front of him, screaming miserably: “Zhang Peng, those few words you said today have screwed me over!” Clearly, he hadn’t done anything wrong, right?

He clutched his forehead in annoyance, with only one thought in his mind.

I’m dead now!
