Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 149 - 147: Building a Home for You with My Own Hands

Chapter 149: Chapter 147: Building a Home for You with My Own Hands

She still remembered clearly that she had beaten that thief quite badly, but he still managed to escape, stealing five taels of silver and even causing Ye Lei to be wrongfully imprisoned for three days!

At the moment, upon hearing Old Man Li’s distortions of the truth, Liu Sisi wished she could directly sew his mouth shut with a needle.

Too hateful!

“You don’t have to worry. Brother Ye Lei treasures you!”

Guihua’s face was full of excitement! free webnov el.com

Thrilled!

She proudly gestured, her face full of joy, as she told Liu Sisi about what happened yesterday: “He made a scene like a shrew, even asking Brother Ye Lei for silver. He said that he should have at least half of the 30 taels of silver! Brother Ye Lei only gave him 2 taels, calling him shameless and whatnot. After this incident, Di Yelei directly picked up Old Man Li in his hands and went to see the village chief. Hey! You didn’t see that scene!”

“What happened? Was yesterday’s commotion quite intense?” Liu Sisi was also interested.

“Yeah! Yesterday, Old Man Li lost all his face!”

Guihua was obviously very happy! She stood up from her chair and pointed to the village entrance blocked by several big trees below.

“Can you see it? It was on that grain-drying field! Yesterday, Old Man Li was directly twisted on the grain-drying field, tied to a wooden stake by the village chief’s order. He specially summoned the villagers, talked about the matter, and berated Old Man Li fiercely without mentioning him. He even kicked him twice. This was done by Mr. Land Officer, who said he had lost face for the people of Upper Village. He even said that if it happened again, he would directly be expelled from Upper Village. So don’t worry.”

Liu Sisi nodded her head: “Sister Guihua, thank you for telling me all this.”

She spoke simply, but in her heart, she had a vague premonition that, judging by the other party’s behavior in the county, Old Man Li would definitely not leave it at that.

“By the way, there’s another funny thing to mention.”

While speaking, Guihua covered the corner of her mouth: “Old Man Li is almost 60 years old. Yesterday, I heard that he actually used the excuse of having no children to ask the village matchmaker for help, wanting to find a family to have a child through surrogacy. As soon as the woman gets pregnant and gives birth to a son, he would take the child back to raise.”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but open her mouth wide in shock!

There were such things? Old Man Li was really challenging the limits of people’s bottom line!

He even came up with the idea of surrogacy. Whose child would it be after it was born? No one could say for sure!

However, Old Man Li was almost 60 years old, so perhaps this was his determined idea!

The saying goes, a tree without bark must die, and a person without shame is invincible!

After resting for two days and feeling much better, Liu Sisi finally got out of bed and walked out of the room.

These two days, Di Yelei had not been idle. While taking care of Liu Sisi’s daily needs, he also expanded the pond.

When Liu Sisi walked out of the room, she looked at the now complete lotus pond and couldn’t help but open her mouth in surprise.

“Sisi, why did you get up after only resting for two days?”

Di Yelei had a simple smile on his face, not even bothering to wipe the sweat and mud from his body. He casually pointed to the surroundings, “Look at the lotus pond I dug… is it what you wanted?”

Following the edge of the original water canal, a two-meter wide canal ran along the edge of the courtyard wall, starting from the water outlet below the well and stretching all the way to the outside of the fence. Although the water depth was unclear, it seemed suitable for raising fish and lotus flowers.

“It’s very nice. With the edge bordering the fence, we can plant some willow trees outside the fence and few fruit trees closer to the back. We can also build a stable near the outer edge and a poultry shed at the border, making good use of the extra infertile land. We can drive the chickens into the back mountain during the day and the ducks to the river at the foot of the mountain. In the center of the courtyard, we can build a courtyard and plant some nameless flowers around it, and plant a grove of emerald bamboo outside the courtyard. In a few years, when the green trees are shaded, the flowers are in full bloom, and the bamboo forest is established, our house will have changed.”

Liu Sisi smiled, looking forward to their beautiful future.

Having lived for two lifetimes, her greatest wish was to have her own home.

Her idea of ??a home is undoubtedly something that she had sought but never found in her past life!

Di Yelei listened very carefully, nodding his head continuously, his eyes filled with an unfathomable persistence.

“Sisi, don’t worry, the home you desire, I will personally decorate for you! Trust me!”

His words carried an inexplicable ability to calm hearts, causing Liu Sisi to instinctively smile. Her large, watery eyes curved into two crescent shapes.

“Okay! I believe you!”

Their eyes met, and both of them laughed softly.

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but pick up a towel, meticulously wiping the sweat and dirt off his face. A sense of warmth filled their hearts.

As they were talking, Di Cheng rushed in from the outside, slamming open the main entrance with a bang, startling the two in the courtyard.

“Third Uncle, it’s not good! Grandfather… Grandfather has had an accident!”

Di Cheng gasped loudly.

Liu Sisi was so startled that the towel in her hand fell into the water.

But neither of them cared about the towel, as they both asked Di Cheng in unison: “What did you say?”

“It’s… it’s Grandfather! Grandfather had an accident!”

Di Cheng repeated his words quickly and accurately with a look of anxiety on his face.

Their faces immediately changed!

Di Yelei almost lost his balance and nearly fell into the water.

“Ye Lei, don’t panic. We can’t mess up ourselves first. Let’s go to the old house, and while we walk, we’ll listen to Di Cheng’s story, then figure out what to do.”

Liu Sisi hurriedly held him back.

“What exactly happened? Explain it carefully!”

Di Yelei wore a solemn expression, pushed away the support of the two, grabbed Di Cheng’s collar, and hurriedly ran towards the old house while interrogating Di Cheng.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Sisi returned to the room.

No matter whether her father-in-law’s old illness had relapsed, it was always right to bring the wild ginseng and gastrodia medicine with her! fr(e)enovelkiss.com

After packing up slightly, she closed the yard door and hurriedly chased after them.

“It’s… it’s Young Uncle! He said he wants to bring a wife in…”

Di Cheng hesitated, avoiding their gaze as he ran with quick steps. Only when he was pushed to the extreme by Di Yelei did he finally speak up.

“Oh, and then what? Is that it?”

The little brother was also of marriageable age, and there was no reason for their father to oppose his marrying a wife.

“Then Grandfather was angered and argued with Young Uncle. Later, Grandmother also came out to mediate, but Grandfather just became even angrier. In the end, he fell ill.”

Di Cheng stammered for a long time.

“When you came here, was Father-in-law awake?” With a single sentence, Liu Sisi got to the point.
