Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Qingming Festival Ancestor Worship (6)

“Yes, Madam, I have made a note of it.”

Old Granny Hu beside her quickly bowed her head and answered obediently.

“Hmm! That’s good!”

There was no change in the smile on Liu Sisi’s face, still as warm as spring. She didn’t even look at the remaining sacrificial food, gracefully lifted her skirt and turned to walk toward the foot of the mountain.

On the other side, Di Yelei, Elderly Mr. Di, and Di Ah-bao seemed to be discussing something, with serious expressions on their faces.

Di Yelei’s gaze was fixed on Ah-Bao: “…That’s about it. I know that my sister-in-law’s miscarriage due to saving Sisi is my fault. As long as my little brother asks, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you!” Di Yelei spoke sincerely.

Ah-Bao was chewing a straw, swinging his thigh carefree. Hearing Di Yelei finish speaking, he spat it out with a sound and waved his hand casually.

“Don’t talk about these things with me, you’d better talk to Little Cui instead. Whatever she says, I’ll do. I have no opinion.”

“You… This is your child after all, how can you…” Be so indifferent!

Di Yelei was at a loss for words.

Di Ah-bao, with a rascal-like expression on his face, eyed his Third Brother: “You know what kind of person I am! In my family, Cui’er makes all the decisions. Don’t bother me with these things in the future! I’ve already made an appointment with Chen Er from the neighboring village to play cricket fighting! I don’t have time to deal with you.”

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the direction of Little Cui. Soon, he was in front of her, looking at her with a tender and gentle gaze, as if she were a delicate doll.

“Third Brother!”

Di Yelei called out, but Di Ah-bao didn’t turn his head.

Old Man Di sighed beside: “Ah-Bao is really the one living the carefree life! Although he always follows Ms. Xin’s instructions, he’s completely changed since he got married, turning over a new leaf.”

“Yes, my sister-in-law is indeed amazing.”

Speaking of this, Di Yelei nodded in agreement.

Down below, Liu Sisi blinked curiously and whispered to Di Ying and Di Xuan: “Xuan’er, Ying’er, are you finished? We should go.”

“Mom, where are we going?”

YingEr hopped over, her body covered with cow thorns and traces of mud on her face.

Liu Sisi grabbed her and wiped the mud off her face.

“Look at you, covered in mud! Now that we’ve visited this site, we should go to your biological mother’s grave too.”

Di Xuan’s eyes lit up at the idea! Could they really go to his biological mother’s grave? This was wonderful!

On the other hand, Di Ying didn’t seem as touched as Di Xuan, she just pouted: “Huh? We have to visit another grave! Can I not go, please?”

At the moment, she was clearly having fun.

Before Liu Sisi could say anything, Di Xuan nearby grew anxious!

“Ying’er! What nonsense are you talking about! Stop fooling around, who could refuse to visit their own mother’s grave?” He scolded Di Ying.

His shout startled Ying’er, and she nearly burst into tears.

“I, I…”

“Alright, YingEr, don’t cry anymore. Your mom is buried on the hill over there, how could we not go see her? Let’s go.”

Liu Sisi led YingEr toward the other hilltop.

YingEr obediently walked beside her, but continued to wipe her tears as they went. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Di Xuan trailed behind, annoyed at his sister’s inability to understand the situation.

Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang, who were left behind, pursed their lips and spat disdainfully: “Tsk! What a show they’re putting on!”

The group walked to the foot of the mountain when Di Yelei quickly caught up: “Sisi, where are you going?”

“I’m planning to pay respect to my elder sister! Today is Qingming Festival, so it’s a good opportunity for Xuan’er and YingEr to pay their respects.” Liu Sisi mentioned Ms. Qiao without any hint of displeasure.

“Oh? It’s for this! What are you waiting for? Don’t you know what time it is? Hurry!”

Di Yelei was exceptionally pleased! With such a virtuous wife, what more could he ask for?

They arrived at Ms. Qiao’s grave, tidied it up and paid their respects.

Liu Sisi took three sticks of incense, bowed three times, closed her eyes and prayed: “Elder Sister, I am Yelei’s wife now. I’ve brought Xuan’er and YingEr for you to see. I, Liu Sisi, have treated them fairly. May your spirit in heaven protect them, and help them grow up healthy and safe.”

After praying, she bowed another three times before placing the incense sticks.

Di Xuan stepped forward to pay respects: “Mom! It’s your unfilial son, Xuan’er, only now coming to see you. Mom, why did you leave me? I miss you so much…”

When it was Di Ying’s turn, she hesitated before taking the incense: “Mom, YingEr is doing well. Dad treats YingEr well, and so does mother-in-law. Brother also treats YingEr well… except he always yells at me, I… hmph!”

On the other hand, Di Yelei stood by the grave and silently offered his incense, gently touching the tombstone.

“… Don’t worry! I’ll take good care of Xuan’er and YingEr. They’ll grow up safe and sound!”

After finishing the ceremony and returning home, YingEr quickly went to play with Da Mao as if nothing had happened, while Di Xuan locked himself in his room for quite a while.

Meanwhile, Di Yelei held Liu Sisi’s hand all the way back, smiling like a kitten that stole some fish!

“Sisi, thank you! Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I am both moved and delighted…”

“What are you saying? No matter what, she is Xuan’er and YingEr’s birth mother. It’s just unfair that she can’t even be buried in the family graveyard…”

Liu Sisi felt somewhat somber – a sort of shared sorrow with the same kind, especially as her growing belly became more and more noticeable. She became increasingly anxious.

The medical conditions here are limited. Nothing must go wrong!

“What are you worrying about? I’ve already arranged with Old He. He will be right outside during your childbirth, and so will I. Don’t worry!”

Di Yelei spoke earnestly, gripping her hand tightly.

After staying in Upper Village for a few days, the group returned to the small town and began moving their belongings.

They brought all the things they bought in the small town into the official residence in the city, and soon the entire family chose an auspicious day and moved in.
