Chapter 624: 624: Summer Afternoon



She turned her eyes and saw YingEr who had just poked her head out of the carriage, so she hastily dragged YingEr into the conversation too.

“YingEr, please talk some sense into your mother! Just look at Second Aunt… like this… It’s been days since Second Aunt ate anything! YingEr, do you really want to watch Second Aunt starve to death? Oh… ”

Ms. Wang’s voice trembled more and more pitifully, and she couldn’t help but cry, with tears streaming down her face.

Although YingEr was young, it didn’t mean she was easy to deceive, especially when it came to her Second Aunt who had been a source of pain for her since she was small.

“Second Aunt, did you not eat anything today?”

YingEr was filled with curiosity, batting her big, flickering eyes: “But Second Aunt, Dad and Mom always say if you want to have food, you need to work and plant crops uphill. If the land yields a harvest, then there’ll be food. You can’t get something for nothing, and you definitely shouldn’t beg others! That’s what people without backbone do!”

” … ”

Ms. Wang was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

“Ms. Wang! YingEr is only six years old, and she understands these principles, can’t you understand them too?”

Liu Sisi also let out a deep sigh!

Reaching out her hand, she helped Ms. Wang up: “Ah! We were once sisters-in-law, but you and your family have truly hurt the hearts of our elders. Even if I wanted to help, I can’t! You… just take care of yourself!”

She forcefully pulled off the clothes that Ms. Wang was tightly holding onto and pushed her away, then gave Old Cheng a look before stepping up and into the carriage.

YingEr also conveniently sat inside, and before she left, she waved at Ms. Wang: “By the way, my family has set up a porridge shed outside the city gate that specifically provides porridge for the poor. Second Aunt, you can go check it out. There should still be porridge now.”

Ms. Wang’s face turned blue and white in an instant, looking extremely terrible!

Seeing the carriage leaving, she tried to catch up, only to be stopped by Ms. Gao beside her.

Ms. Gao immediately spoke with a smile: “Madam, my lady has made her point very clear. Please, take care of yourself!”

“But…” Ms. Wang still wanted to say something.

The coachman by the side couldn’t bear it any longer! He immediately scolded in annoyance: “Hey! Do you have no shame? Persistently harassing and pestering, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

Frightened by the coachman’s harsh words, Ms. Wang’s whole body trembled, and she finally dared not approach any further.

The carriage slowly moved forward, leaving the crowd behind.

“So, does everyone know who she is? I can recognize her. She used to be Lord Di’s Second Sister-in-law!”

Once Liu Sisi’s carriage left, someone nearby recognized Ms. Wang and laughed aloud.

“Oh? Tell us more. What’s the story?” An eager person next to them quickly moved closer.

That person didn’t bother keeping anything secret and immediately began telling the tale loudly.

“Her! As soon as she heard that her little brother entered the big prison, she immediately distanced herself from the Di Family, not just seeking public acknowledgement from the Land Officer, but also taking legal documents to the government office for notarization. Who would have thought that fortunes change so quickly! Little did she expect that her brother not only was released without charge, but also promoted with honors!”

“Oh— so that’s how it is!”

The people beside understood what had happened: so, that’s the story!

“That’s not all! When she saw her brother rise to high ranks, she went everywhere slandering him and even chased him to the Ancestral Hall to offer incense to their ancestors. But she had abandoned the family name and left the family, so what business did she have there? In the end, she was driven out by the elders of the family, totally disgraced!”

“Indeed it’s shameful, and to think she still dared to come back, she must really be shameless! Haha…”

“She was just demanding money from her former siblings! How embarrassing!”

The loud gossip left Ms. Wang unable to lift her head, as she panicked and tried to squeeze through the crowd.

Unfortunately, the onlookers only grew in number, making it impossible for her to break free, forcing her to skulk like a defeated stray dog, too afraid to show herself easily.

At the street corner, Liu Sisi lowered the carriage curtain and said calmly,

“Let’s go!”

Ms. Wang, oh Ms. Wang, don’t blame my cold heart! When you initially instigated Di Gaoyuan to leave the Di Family, did you ever think this day would come?

All I did was spread the truth about what you’ve done!

And I didn’t exaggerate or add any lies at all!

Returning to Di Residence, Liu Sisi spotted Di Cheng leading someone towards the side gate from a distance. Despite only seeing the person’s back, she recognized him immediately.

If not Di Gaoyuan, who else could it be?

“Mom, Second Uncle is here. Why is Brother Cheng sending him away through the side gate?” YingEr asked curiously.

“Now, just act like you didn’t see anything, alright?” She gently stroked YingEr’s head.

“Oh, I understand!”

After giving it some thought, Liu Sisi returned to the Waterside Pavilion.

Now that she had her children, she felt content in her life. She never got tired of playing with the three little ones, and seeing them always lifted her spirits. YingEr also played with the little ones, being the perfect elder sister with a constant smile on her face.

Not long after, Granny Hu brought over rose pear snow fungus soup to help everyone cool down.

This rose pear snow fungus soup was made by simmering fresh rose petals, snow pears, snow fungus, rock sugar, goji berries, and red dates together over low heat.

After it cooled, it was chilled in well water for an hour before adding ice cubes and honey to make the rose pear snow fungus soup in the bowl.

Liu Sisi took the small bowl, offering YingEr one first: “Who else is at home? Did you send a serving to father?”

Granny Hu smiled: “Madam, rest assured. When I brought yours over, I already sent two servings to Old Master as well. Young Master Di Ah-bao got two bowls, too. Eldest Young Master went out just now, so I saved some in the well water to keep it chilled for whenever he wants to eat.”

Granny Hu was referring to Di Ah-bao as the Young Master and Di Cheng as the Eldest Young Master.

“That’s good.”

Liu Sisi nodded and then took a bite of the soup with her bowl.

It was icy cold, sweet, and soft – a perfect taste that she couldn’t help but take another bite.

YingEr next to her remained silent, her stomach empty and the food in front of her incredibly appetizing, so she busied herself eating.

After finishing her small bowl, she couldn’t help but glance at Liu Sisi’s bowl with longing.

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, scooping some more for her: “Don’t eat too much! The weather is too hot right now, and eating too much cold food will give you a stomachache.”

“Mom, I’ll just eat what’s in the bowl.” YingEr stuck out her tongue.

“Little Naughty!”

Liu Sisi tapped her little nose.
