Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 597: Chapter 597: She Wants to Eat Vegetables…

Ms. Yao was so anxious that she wrung her hands, her head almost buried in her chest.

She stammered for a while without being able to explain herself.

Liu Zhi’er was extremely anxious! “Mom, just say it! Are you saying that Liu Sisi is not actually a Liu, but the daughter of that man and… and Auntie?”

“Hmm. That’s exactly how it is.” Ms. Yao nodded and then hurriedly shook her head: “The situation is very complicated, Zhi’er, I can’t explain it clearly in a moment…”

So Sisi was not her own sister, but her cousin!

This was unbelievable.

Ms. Yao looked up at her and then lowered her head again.

“At that time, you were still young, so you definitely won’t remember it, but your eldest sister knows it clearly. Sisi was brought back by her initially. Wait… let’s talk about this slowly when we have time later, I have to go see your father first. Liu Quan, Liu Quan…”

She had more to say, but seeing Liu Quan’s figure swaying on the horizon about to disappear around the corner, she hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after him.

“Mom! Mom…”

Liu Zhi’er called out in desperation a few times, but still couldn’t stop Ms. Yao’s departure.

She gave up in despair, standing still, absorbed in her thoughts.

Ms. Yao had left the Di Family with Liu Quan, while the three children were brought back to Liu Sisi by the nanny.

Among the three children, the girl was the most well-behaved. Besides crying once when she was put into the basin, she only cried a few times when her ear holes were pierced, otherwise, she had been deeply asleep.

In contrast, it was the smallest, who was also the most surprising one who cried incessantly from bathing to dressing, so much so that his voice turned hoarse, which made Liu Sisi very distressed.

As soon as she was brought back to the room, she cuddled her child and began to coo him gently. Rocking him slowly, she finally managed to lull him to sleep.

Although it was warm outside, the three children had been undressed and tormented for so long, Liu Sisi was afraid that they might catch a cold. It was not until she saw that they were able to eat and sleep that she put her mind at rest.

With the departure of Elder Leisure, the courtyard regained its liveliness.

Once Di Yelei returned and was joined by the foodie Old He, it seemed that this banquet was not going to end so easily!

He casually greeted everyone: “There was a minor mishap earlier which you don’t need to bother about. We are all friends and neighbors here, so eat and drink as much as you like and nobody is allowed to cross this threshold until they are drunk. Come on, cheers!”

The banquet went on from noon till the deep night with laughter and merriment never subsiding.

As for Di Yelei, he was so drunk that he was supported and carried into the room.

He rolled straight onto Liu Sisi and passed out. No matter how much she shook him, she could not wake him up.

“Sisi, Sisi, I am so happy, so happy… Sisi!”

Occasionally, the drunkard’s mouth would utter a few words and he would burst into hearty laughter.

“Serve you right, you drunkard! All you know is to drink…”

Liu Sisi scolded as she scrubbed him thoroughly before allowing him to sleep.

Just when Liu Sisi thought he had passed out drunk, he suddenly rolled over, his arm stretched over: “Sisi, do you know? I really, really like you…ugh…it isn’t because of your family background…”

A soft sensation stirred in Liu Sisi’s heart!

She immediately slapped his face energetically, “Ye Lei, wake up, Ye Lei! You bastard, are you really drunk or just pretending to be? Are you slurring drunk words? Ye Lei, Ye Lei!”

“It’s not because you gave birth to triplets for me, I truly like you as a person! Sisi… My Sisi…”

Di Yelei was muttering, speaking drunken words with his eyes closed, no matter how hard Liu Sisi slapped, he wouldn’t wake up.

“Ye Lei, are you speaking the truth or just drunken words?”

In the darkness, Liu Sisi looked at Di Yelei’s face close to her, and she had a rare insomnia.

The days that followed were the most leisurely ones for Liu Sisi since she came into this world.

Although there are three children to look after, with so many people helping, she really didn’t get tired.

Her daily task is eating, drinking, and sleeping. Nowadays, when she sees nourishing food and medicinal soups, she feels nauseated. She feels awful!

“Ye Lei, I don’t want to eat these things anymore, they’re so greasy… do you agree?”

She tugged at Di Ye Lei’s sleeve, blinking her big eyes pitifully at him, melting his heart instantly.

He couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her waist, his face full of affection, “You’ve just given birth, eating these foods is good for your body. If you don’t take advantage of this time to make up for it, you will suffer health problems when you get old. Endure for one or two months now, it’s for your lifetime benefit. Be good!” After saying that, he patted her on the shoulder.

“No, no! I want to eat porridge, I want to eat vegetables! It’s so hot in June, and I eat so much nourishing food every day, I feel like I’m about to catch a flame. I don’t want to eat, Ye Lei…!”

She strongly leaned on Di Yelei’s arm, determined to get the benefits of today’s food.

Di Yelei’s arm was shaken, and he was somewhat helpless against Liu Sisi’s persistence.

“How could it be possible? With Old He personally supervising your diet, how could you get inflamed? Those are all nourishing ingredients, surely beneficial for your body. Be good.”

“No! Today I want to eat porridge, porridge, porridge, vegetables, vegetables, vegetables!”

She was angry! Humph!

“Alright, alright, tonight you eat vegetables.”

“Really? You promised me yourself, you can’t go back on your word!” Liu Sisi was finally happy.

“I won’t go back on my word!”

Di Yelei replied seriously.

By evening, the long-awaited vegetable dish for Liu Sisi came – cubilose and snow fungus soup!

She used the spoon to stir it for quite a while, then gritted her teeth, sucked in a deep breath, and shouted: “Di Ye Lei!”

“Madam, don’t shout so loud, be careful not to hurt your throat, and if you wake up the three little guys, it would be really bad.” Di Yelei said earnestly.

Among the three children, the smallest one is bound to cry first, and when the little one cries, the larger two immediately start crying, and then, countless people are busy.

“Cut the crap, Di Yelei. You promised me yourself this afternoon to let me eat vegetables, where’s the vegetable?” Liu Sisi did not intend to let him distract her.

Di Yelei was busy holding the little one and rocked it gently, there came a cooing sound, a perfect good father.

“It’s in there. When I told the kitchen staff to cook it, I specifically added some snow fungus. This is snow fungus cubilose soup!”

Snow fungus isn’t vegetable, and soup isn’t porridge. His words really always add up!
