Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 414 - : Mask

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Mask

The two outside were fighting more and more fiercely, rolling in the mud all the way.

Elderly Mr. Di saw that the children were scared, so he didn’t care about anything else. He limped over to them with his crutch, raised it, and started beating them wildly.

“Stop! Stop! Do you all want… to anger me to death…?”

Elderly Mr. Di was clearly furious, showing no sign of relenting. With a heavy blow, Di Ah-Bao finally let go after a scream.

As Di Ah-Bao released his grip, Di Yelei naturally didn’t continue to struggle. They finally separated.

“You brothers fighting like this… going out there… it’s a joke for everyone! Huh?”

Elderly Mr. Di became angrier the more he spoke, raising his crutch and giving each of them a beating!

With a solid blow on Di Yelei’s back, he didn’t dodge or avoid, taking it all in. When he hit Di Ah-Bao, Di counterattacked by grabbing the crutch and nearly knocked Elderly Mr. Di down.

“Watch out!”

Di Yelei rushed forward and finally managed to support Elderly Mr. Di in time.

“Di Ah-Bao, what are you going crazy for?”

Di Yelei was furious! He raised his hand and threw a punch, hitting Di Ah-Bao’s left eye!

“Ah!” Di Ah-Bao’s eye socket immediately turned purple.

He then reached out to cover his eye, but this time he didn’t fight back. He crouched down and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

“Di Yelei! Don’t think you’re great just because you’re stronger than yours truly! I’m telling you, if you dare to harm Little Cui, I won’t let it go!”

Even if he had no strength left and was in great pain, Di Ah-Bao wouldn’t give up any chances, cursing loudly.

“Do you ever stop? With your family’s… that, do you think I, Di Yelei, am the kind of beast who doesn’t recognize relatives and pounces on any woman I see? Bastard! -”

Di Yelei became angrier as he spoke, unable to hold back from kicking Di Ah-Bao several times.

“Think about it with your pig brain, should you, as a younger brother, say such things? Are you trying to push your sister-in-law to a dead end? Huh!”

As he said each sentence, he kicked him once!

Di Ah-Bao, who was originally howling in agony, suddenly stopped when Di Yelei said this. He just stared at him fiercely with his eyes!

“You’re still staring at me!”

Di Yelei kicked him again: “When has I, Di Yelei, ever done such disgraceful things? Damn thing!”

Elderly Mr. Di on the side was obviously also very angry, but seeing Di Ah-Bao looking like this now made him even angrier!

“Stop hitting him! If you hit him again, he’ll… die!”

Elderly Mr. Di pulled the furious Di Yelei, finally waking him up.

Looking back, Di Xuan, Di Ying, and Da Mao were cautiously hiding behind the door, secretly watching the commotion outside. As they met Di Yelei’s furious and hideous face, they were frightened and quickly withdrew their heads.

It seemed the children were scared!

A moment of clarity flashed through Di Yelei’s mind, and he finally sobered up from his rage.

Immediately after, he hissed in pain, covering his swollen right cheek. The punch Di Ah-Bao threw earlier had gathered all his strength, and even though Di Yelei had unloaded some of the force, his face still swelled up like a steamed bun.

He cursed softly, “Bastard… damn it! Who did I provoke? This is simply an unjust catastrophe!”

The non-stop noise from outside filtered into the inner room, but the two women inside remained motionless.

After a tense standoff, Liu Sisi sighed softly, “Won’t you really say?”

As she spoke, she slowly got up and walked toward the doorway.

“No, that’s not it! I… I just don’t know how to say it…”

Little Cui’er was startled and cried out in a hurry, “I… I know I’m in the wrong… I know I shouldn’t have gone out every night to make some extra money, but you know the situation in the old house. If I don’t go out and make any silver, there’s no way we can get by every day…”

“Is that what you wanted to tell me today?”

Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise: “Ms. Xin, today, I’m giving you a chance to speak. If you don’t seize the opportunity and tell the truth today, even if you want to talk later, I won’t be in the mood to listen.” She turned around to look at her indifferently.

“I…”

Her words became quieter and quieter, and she finally lowered her head, “Yes, it was when I went back to report to my master that Third Brother discovered me. Then, Third Brother started to track me down…”

“Who is your master?”

Xin’s gaze shifted evasively, “He is… he is…”

“Don’t pretend, Little Cui’er. If you really have such a small skill, your master wouldn’t assign you to carry out tasks, would he?” Liu Sisi sneered.

Secretly, she almost dug the flesh out of her palm.

These words cracked Little Cui’er’s face, slowly, she raised her hand and wiped her face.

After a moment, she sighed and chuckled, “Third Sister-in-law, don’t blame Little Cui’er. It’s just… this mask has been worn for too long, and Little Cui’er can’t take it off anymore.”

“Oh, people! That’s how it is to live in this world, talk to people like a person, talk to ghosts like a ghost.”

As the other party changed their attitude, Liu Sisi naturally followed suit, her demeanor softened as she brought a fruit plate nearby and placed it next to Little Cui’er.

“Here! These are all homemade snacks, you should eat some too.”

Little Cui’er did not refuse, she smiled and reached out to take a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth.

Although she hid it well, Liu Sisi still clearly saw the slightly trembling hand of the other party.

It seemed that the other party was not indifferent.

After eating the cloud cake, Little Cui’er’s spirits improved a lot, and the screams from outside the window seemed to have turned into beautiful music, allowing her to gather her thoughts.

“Actually, I was doing just fine at the Yihong Courtyard before, but it was before that, someone suddenly came to find me and asked me to help them with something in exchange for the price of my ransom.”

“Oh, there is such a good thing?”

Liu Sisi frowned, a bad thought flashed through her mind.

A mournful smile appeared on Little Cui’er’ face, “For us prostitutes who have been rolling in the dust, what could be a better way out than marrying someone and leaving this life! Although I was only selling my skills and not my body at that time, once you enter that gate, it’s impossible to wash yourself clean no matter how much you try. Someone was willing to buy me out and marry me as a proper wife, and although Ah-bao is a bit wild, he is genuinely good to me… So I didn’t think too long before agreeing.”

“What did they want you to do?”

“What else could it be? Naturally, it was to protect your safety.”

Suddenly, she knelt down with a thud, crawled forward, and grabbed Liu Sisi’s dress, “Third Sister-in-law, they really asked Little Cui’er to protect you.”
