Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 75 - : 72: How Can There Be Intact Eggs Under a Toppled Nest

However, it was a pity that the “mouse” in Liu Sisi’s words did not have such consciousness.

When she left the room, she took away two children with her.

The two children didn’t cry or fuss, even when they had to get up in the middle of the night. They quietly followed Liu Sisi, making her feel unusually heavy and emotional.

“You two, be careful not to stray away from your mother. Understand?”

Liu Sisi added firewood to the stove and turned to speak to Di Ying who was close to her. She also looked at Di Xuan.

“Mom, YingEr understands.”

Di Ying nodded seriously.

Liu Sisi gently touched his head without saying much.

By the time she had prepared hot water, Di Yelei had already brought Zhang Peng over and had done a medical examination.

Zhang Peng’s brows were furrowed, and he scanned the crowd, “We are all villagers, I, Zhang Peng, won’t lie to you. Uncle Di’s disease is very dangerous. I’m just a half-baked doctor who can only heal minor illnesses, how could I treat such a serious condition? If you still want to save him, hurry to the town and find a good doctor. If you delay until tomorrow morning, I’m afraid…”

Zhang Peng’s words stopped there. He didn’t have to finish, everyone already understood.

“I can’t help with Uncle Di’s treatment, so I will go first. The night road is not easy to walk on now. If you plan to ask for a doctor, you’d better prepare. Farewell!”

After saying that, Zhang Peng turned and walked away.

“Brother Zhang, take it slow, let Sisi accompany you for a while!”

Even though Zhang Peng said he did not want any silver, he did come all the way in the middle of the night, without even a cup of tea. How could they let him go for nothing?

When Liu Sisi said she would accompany him, she obviously meant to give away silver, so no one competed with her.

“No need, sister, go back. The outside is dark, you are not convenient with two children.”

But when he was just at the entrance, Zhang Peng stopped Liu Sisi from accompanying him further.

“Here! Brother Zhang, Sisi just arrived here and don’t know how much you charge for a visit. If it is less, please don’t take it to heart.”

While speaking, Liu Sisi took out 50 copper coins and handed them over.

Zhang Peng shook his head, refusing to accept, “I am close with Brother Yelei, isn’t it worth more than the few copper coins for a home visit? Sister, put it away quickly! There is nothing much I can do at Brother Zhang’s place, but if Uncle Di’s condition does improve, you will need a hundred-year-old wild ginseng at the very least. I heard that a one hundred year old wild ginseng is worth around 200 taels of silver.”

His words made Liu Sisi gasp for breath!

She did not expect it would actually require a hundred-year-old wild ginseng! And this wild ginseng is so expensive?

They just repaid a debt of 20 taels of silver, which can be said to be a matter of sheer luck.

But now they were facing the sky-high price of 200 taels of silver, Liu Sisi could not help but be startled!

He paused, sighed, “Although it only requires a little bit to save a person, the cost… it’s a huge sum of money! Plus, whether it can save a person’s life, that’s another matter. So… huh! Brother Zhang is going back first, sister, no need to send me.”

“Take care, Brother Zhang.”

With a confused mind, Liu Sisi turned around and almost collided with Wang who was hiding on the side.

“Scared me! Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing hiding here? It’s late at night, you scared me.”

As she spoke, she quickly moved the two children behind her.

“Laughable! This is my home. I can go wherever I want. Can you control it?”

Wang tossed her head, snorted coldly, turned around and went in.

When Liu Sisi entered, she happened to see Wang pulling Di Gaoyuan into a wing room.

On the side, Di Ah-bao, who had caused the trouble, was leaning on a chair, his snoring thundering, sound asleep.

“Ye Lei…”

Liu Sisi walked to Di Yelei’s side, called him softly, and gently tugged at his sleeve.

“Hmm?”

Di Yelei raised his eyebrows, let go of Elderly Mr. Di’s hand he was holding, and obediently walked out of the room.

Liu Sisi spoke without any secrecy, she clearly relayed what Zhang Peng had said.

“Second Sister-in-law heard it just now. I saw her pulling Second Brother to the wing room…”

Liu Sisi felt somewhat embarrassed: “Yesterday, Second Sister-in-law forced us to return 20 taels of silver. Now, the only money left in my hands is this 3 taels and 213 copper coins. You take it first. This money won’t be enough to hire a doctor. Firstly, we’ll borrow some from the villagers!”

Di Yelei silently accepted the money, holding it tightly in his hand.

He nodded slightly and turned to enter the house.

Inside the room, the children had already left, and only Ms. Zhang, Di Gaoyuan, Ms. Wang, and Di Ah-bao remained.

Di Ah-bao was yawning continuously, his eyes half-closed with sleepiness. He was lying in a lounge chair, swinging his legs to and fro, showing no remorse for the disaster he had caused.

“What do we do now? What’s the plan?”

Di Yelei’s deep voice echoed.

As the second son, Di Gaoyuan naturally had the most authority to speak.

“What plan? The coffin for the deceased is already here. We just need to prepare the rest and buy everything tomorrow morning from the town. Of course, we can bring the doctor back on the way.”

The word “coffin” referred to a coffin. When a villager turns fifty, his descendants would prepare a coffin as a birthday present, since it was the 50th birthday, it was gloriously called a ‘coffin’. If someone’s parents turned fifty and they did not prepare a coffin for them, they would be regarded as unfilial by the people of the village, and thus, they would be cursed.

At Di Gaoyuan’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, everyone will have to walk this path when they get old. It’s better to go sooner and save money…

Everyone was rolling their eyes thinking about it, but naturally, they did not say it aloud.

“So, you all disagree to hire a doctor?”

The eyes of Di Yelei became darker. His veins were bulging like they would pop out any moment.

Ms. Wang and others couldn’t help but step back, but the thought of a large stack of silver hardened their resolve.

“Third Brother, what are you talking about? Dad is sick, as his offspring, how can we not hire a doctor? It’s just that it’s dark and slippery outside! As soon as it’s daybreak, I’ll go to the town first thing in the morning to bring a doctor.” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

One way or another, they still wanted to wait until dawn before going for help.

“Why did dad suddenly become ill and unconscious? I think you guys know better than me!”

Di Yelei said through gritted teeth: “Aren’t you afraid that if this gets out, it’ll embarrass the Di Family, making it difficult for the men of our family to marry and the young girls to get married?”

Di Gaoyuan wanted to argue again: “How is this my doing? It’s obviously the fault of my little brother… Your words are too harsh, Third Brother!”

Di Ah-bao, who was by his side, disagreed!

He suddenly stood up from his lounge chair: “Second Brother, what do you mean by ‘my doing’? It was obviously…”

“Enough!”

Following Di Yelei’s roar, he raised his hand and slammed it down heavily.

Bang!

The corner of the wooden table under his hand instantly turned into flying sawdust!

The loud noise scared everyone in the room into screaming!

“Shut up! If anyone screams again, they’ll be thrown out!” (f)reenovelkiss

With Di Yelei’s angry shout, everyone huddled together, and no one dared to look directly at Di Yelei’s fierce face.

“Every egg in the overturned nest is going to break! Second Brother, do you think that by blaming our little brother, you can keep yourself out of the matter? Even at this point, you are thinking about yourself. It was a waste for dad to pamper you the most since childhood!”

After speaking, Di Yelei turned around and walked back down.

However, after only taking two steps, he turned around again.

“Dad, I will definitely save you! The doctor, I will definitely bring him back! As for the silver, people are alive and silver is dead. You should think carefully about whether people are more important or silver!”

Di Yelei finished speaking, turned around and strode into the night.
