The two went to Li Wu’s home and Zhang Peng’s home.

Li Wu was not at home, and his daughter-in-law received the silver and thank-you gift, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Guihua accepted the snacks, but she wouldn’t take anything else, like the silk cloth and eggs.

Pulling Liu Sisi aside quietly, Guihua whispered, “I know your family’s situation better than anyone else. I’m afraid that once you repay this silver, your family will have nothing left, right?” fr(e)enovelkiss

“Sister Guihua…” Liu Sisi didn’t know what to say.

She guessed correctly, they only had a few dozen scattered copper coins left besides the ten taels of silver for the education gift.

“You! Take these things back at once! When your family becomes wealthy, I’ll come asking for help without you needing to say anything, and you won’t be able to get rid of me.” Guihua said proudly.

This made Liu Sisi laugh.

“Sister Guihua, when that time comes, I’ll never forget what you said today. However, you must hold on to these things in the basket. There’s no reason to take back what you’ve given. And every time you sent something to my house, I’ve always accepted it happily, I never declined. So, just accept it without hesitation.”

Liu Sisi said, forcefully picking up the items from the bamboo basket and placing them on the table.

“Well, alright! But remember, this is only one time, it won’t happen again.” Guihua reluctantly accepted.

On the other side, Di Yelei and Zhang Peng were talking about something, looking serious. It wasn’t until Liu Sisi called him that he left with a frown.

“What happened, Ye Lei?” Liu Sisi asked curiously.

Di Yelei shook his head: “Nothing… Let’s go! To the old house.”

The pastries and other things in the bamboo basket were meant for his father to eat.

The sun gradually set in the west, and when the two arrived at the old house, they saw Elderly Mr. Di with a crutch in his hand, taking one step at a time on the small path outside, and on his shoulder, he was carrying a hoe.

“Dad! What are you doing? Put the hoe down right away!”

Di Yelei strode forward, snatched the hoe from Elderly Mr. Di’s shoulder, and threw it far away!

“Th-third Brother… how did you get here?”

Elderly Mr. Di’s hand was shaking badly, and it was unclear whether it was because Di Yelei had scared him or because he was excited.

“There are so many people in the house, can’t you let them do the work? Your illness is not healed yet. If something happens to you again, who will pity you? Come on, go inside and rest.”

While speaking, Di Yelei didn’t let Elderly Mr. Di say anything. He bent down and carried Elderly Mr. Di on his back, striding towards the old house.

Liu Sisi quickly followed with the bamboo basket.

Bang!

Di Yelei kicked the door open!

“Are all the people dead? Those who are alive better roll out here!”

He roared at the top of his lungs!

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the main room and both wing rooms on the left and right sides. Soon, numerous heads appeared at the doorway, but seeing Di Yelei’s fierce face at the entrance, they all drew back quickly.

It was a joke! Hiding was always better than being beaten. Who would go out and ask for death?!

Di Yelei walked forward one step at a time, with each step, the ground shook.

“If anyone continues to hide in the room, I will tear down their house! I want to see where else you turtles will hide!”

His icy gaze swept over the surroundings, and the whole courtyard was eerily silent, with no sign of movement.

“Third Child, let me down quickly.” Elderly Mr. Di struggled.

“Dad! Today, I won’t let things end so easily!”

Di Yelei, burning with rage, shouted at the house: “I will count to three! If anyone doesn’t come out after that, I will demolish that side of the house! You can try for yourself whether what I, Di Yelei, say is true or false!”

“One!”

Who among those hiding in the house would dare to doubt him?

Especially Di Ah-bao, who, upon hearing Di Yelei’s voice, was like a mouse seeing a cat. He still had a lingering pain in his gums from two teeth knocked out the last time, and how could he dare to go out?

But he didn’t dare to resist either! Hearing the other party’s voice, he had no doubt that the other party would keep their word.

With this thought in his mind, he stepped out of the house tremblingly, painstakingly pressing himself against the eaves as he moved.

Di Yelei’s sharp eyes swept over him, and his knees weakened and his thighs shook with fear. He hurriedly hid behind a pillar: “Thi-Third Brother.”

Di Yelei did not respond, just glanced at the house and said: “Two!”

The room door was pushed open, and Ms. Zhao, Ms. Wang, and several children came out one after another, even Di Gao was among them.

Di Yelei still didn’t say much: “Three!”

“Third Brother, what are you trying to do? Why is it that every time you come to the old house, there’s fighting and killing and the old house can’t have peace! Don’t forget, you’ve already been separated. You have no say in the affairs of the old house!” The one speaking was none other than Di Gaoyuan.

Di Yelei’s face changed, and he placed Elderly Mr. Di on the stone bench before standing up.

“I, Di Yelei, have indeed separated and am living on my own! But so what? Dad is still my dad, Di Yelei’s dad! Today, I will make it clear, if you continue to make him work in the fields while he’s still sick and something happens, I will hold you responsible!” As he spoke, his eyes drifted between Di Gaoyuan and Di Ah-bao.

Di Gaoyuan’s face was ugly: “Di Yelei! Don’t go too far! Now, which family’s elderly don’t have to work in the fields? If Dad doesn’t work, what will he eat and drink? Why don’t you, Di Yelei, send more food here to fill everyone’s stomachs?”

“That’s right, you only send a little bit each time, it doesn’t even fill our stomachs.” Di Ah-bao at the side chimed in.

Di Yelei, furious, took a few big strides towards where Di Ah-bao was under the eaves. He swung a fierce punch directly at Di Ah-bao.

“Bastard! Who the hell let you eat? That was the food Sisi cooked for Dad; you have the nerve to eat it while your conscience was eaten by a dog!”

“Help! Third Brother is going to kill someone!”

Di Ah-bao, scared senseless, screamed and desperately dodged behind the pillar, crying and shouting for help.

“Don’t hit him! If you want to hit someone, just hit me to death, I can’t take it anymore! Help, help!”

Ms. Zhao had been keeping an eye on the scene, and she rushed over, grabbing one of Di Yelei’s thighs tightly, refusing to let go and crying loudly.

“Let go! Let go!”

Di Yelei tried several times to shake Ms. Zhao off but could only watch helplessly as Di Ah-bao sprinted into the house and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

“Third Child, Third Child!”

In the midst of the crying and shouting, Elderly Mr. Di finally spoke up.

Di Yelei stopped and looked hesitantly at Elderly Mr. Di: “Dad, did you just call me?”

Elderly Mr. Di nodded: “Yes! Let them go! This is the karma I have brought upon myself, and I deserve to suffer for it! I’ve also realized that from now on, I won’t be muddle-headed anymore.”
