Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Visitors from Mom’s Home

“Brother-in-law just left, and according to the rules, he is the one who should personally send a letter to your maiden home. That’s the purpose of his trip. Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to take good care of you, and the medicinal soup and chicken soup have been prepared. Would you like me to call someone to bring them in?”

“No need, I want… I want to go to the restroom…”

The playful tone in her words made Liu Sisi feel somewhat awkward and embarrassed, followed by anxiety.

“Oh, don’t move! I’ll call two maids in. Just be careful not to hurt the wound again.”

Liu Zhi’er’s face was full of anxiety.

She couldn’t even continue comforting the little one in the cradle, and hurried outside to call in the maids.

Did she have to be so delicate?

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but she understood that she shouldn’t push herself too hard.

Outside, a long line of people had come to offer their congratulations. However, Lord Di had given instructions early on to accept only good wishes and return any gifts.

Di Yelei at this moment was busy checking the items that needed to be taken away.

Three jars of glutinous rice wine, one hen and two roosters, a large basket full of red-shell eggs, three lengths of red cloth, three strings of money, several bags of noodles, and assortments of candies and pastries… The reason for having three of everything was, of course, because Sisi had given birth to triplets.

Odd bits and pieces of things piled up, filling up two large carrying poles.

Di Yelei prepared two sets of identical items!

The reason was simple: not only did he have to go to Liu Family’s Mansion to share the good news, but he also had to go to Heilong Mountain. Although the other party must have received accurate news already, it’s a courtesy that couldn’t be ignored.

Seeing that everything was ready, with the red cloth tied on the carrying poles and even the pole with a red string attached, Di Yelei led several servants behind him, carrying the poles and walking outside.

As he stepped out of the door, the crowd knew he was going to inform the bride’s family and gathered around to congratulate him.

Di Yelei smiled so widely that his white teeth showed, returning the greetings to everyone who came to offer congratulations, not stopping with his fist greetings.

It was already 9 a.m to 11a.m by the time he finally left the South City Gate.

As soon as Di Yelei left Macheng County through the South City Gate, Di Ah-bao, Di Cheng, and Zhang Peng entered the city through the west gate.

Everyone naturally went home to find their mothers. Di Ah-bao and Mrs. Xin were like newlyweds after their short time apart, full of love and affection.

And the fact that Di Yelei took a shortcut through the mountain road to return early had also gained him a lot of praise. People said that he was a good man who could be so attentive and careful with his wife!

Liu Sisi only learned about the return of Di Ah-bao, Di Cheng, and the others when Liu Zhi’er told her later. But at the moment, she could only stay lying in bed during her confinement, unable to go anywhere or see anyone.

She didn’t know the details of Di Yelei’s visit to her maiden home, and he didn’t elaborate on what happened.

However, Ms. Yao returned along with Di Yelei.

The meeting between the mother and her two daughters after half a year was under such circumstances.

Ms. Yao had no idea about Liu Zhi’er’s divorce, and she was shocked to see her here. After asking for more information, she finally learned about what had happened. The mother and daughter cried together.

“This Cao fellow doesn’t look like a good man at all! I didn’t agree to the marriage proposal back then. If it weren’t for your big brother being impressed by the generous dowry they presented, you wouldn’t have been married to them. This is truly a tragedy…” Ms. Yao cried her heart out.

Liu Zhi’er’s tears also couldn’t be held back, streaming down her face without stopping.

“Mom, don’t cry. You should be happy for Zhi’er. From now on, Zhi’er and Da Mao will no longer have to worry about being bullied by him.”

“That’s true, that’s true…”

Ms. Yao kept agreeing, wiping the seemingly endless tears from her face.

“But what about Er Mao and San Mao? These two poor children…wuu wuu…”

Ms. Yao’s crying was like an unbearable wailing sound. Liu Sisi turned her head to the other side, trying hard to adjust her mood. It’s said that the quality of breast milk becomes bad after being upset or sad, which could cause the baby to have a stomachache!

Over there, Liu Zhi’er had persuaded Ms. Yao for a long time, and finally got her to stop crying and calm down.

When there were no more people in the room, Ms. Yao moved to sit next to Liu Sisi: “Sisi, about that matter with your big brother, you must not take it to heart. I… I apologize on his behalf; he was wrong…”

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise!

“Don’t worry! I’ve long forgotten about that; you don’t need to worry.” She had resented him before, but after learning her true identity, Li Susi actually felt relieved! Everything made sense now.

“If you’ve forgotten, that’s good… that’s good…”

Ms. Yao was genuinely happy, but after thinking for a moment, she couldn’t help but say: “Sisi, since you don’t hold a grudge about that, can you let your brother off this time? I promise, from now on, he will never appear in front of you again; I swear!”

Ms. Yao couldn’t help but raise her hand.

“Mom! I said I don’t hold a grudge, why are you still talking about forgiving or not? Isn’t that too much?”

“You… you don’t know?” Ms. Yao looked very surprised.

“What do I know? Or what should I know?” Liu Sisi’s eyes rolled, questioning further.

“No, nothing…” Ms. Yao seemed evasive.

Liu Sisi sighed, closed her eyes and said, “Mom, has anyone ever told you that you’re terrible at lying?”

“Yes, yes… Your brother was not only had his leg broken but also kicked out of Macheng County. They… they said if he dares to come back, they would take his life…” Ms. Yao spoke haltingly and hesitantly.

After a brief thought, Liu Sisi understood what was behind Ms. Yao’s evasive gaze.

“Was it my father who forced you?”

It was Liu Sisi’s first time saying “father” in front of someone, and she wanted to test Ms. Yao’s reaction.

Ms. Yao was shocked, almost falling off her chair, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

“You… you… already know…”

Ms. Yao’s voice became fainter and fainter.

“What do I know? What should I know?”

Liu Sisi’s mouth curled with a sneer: “Should I know that my biological parents are different from yours? Or should I know that you were originally a concubine’s daughter in my mom’s dowry?”

That’s right! Liu Sisi’s birth mother, Lin Xiner, and Ms. Yao were sisters, one a legitimate daughter and the other a concubine’s daughter intended to solidify their mother’s favor!

However, the former Crown Prince appeared unrestrained on the surface, but he was deeply in love with Lin Xiner. He never touched a hair on Ms. Yao’s finger! In order to have Lin Xiner to himself, he found a nearby family and married Ms. Yao off.
