Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Di Hongyuan’s Heart Disease
Before Liu Sisi and Di Yelei could say a word, Di Hongyuan called Di Yelei away.
“Big brother, do you need something from me?”
The two had ridden non-stop from the Flying Horse Hostel to Macheng County and hadn’t rested for a moment since then. Both of them were worn out.
After a silent moment, Di Hongyuan asked softly, “Has Ms. Zhao been forever by father’s side?”
Di Yelei only then remembered. The primary reason Di Hongyuan left home years ago was precisely because of Ms. Zhao.
“She… these last years since big brother left, a lot has happened at home. Happened just last year…”
Di Yelei started from the beginning, telling about how Ms. Zhao had prostrated herself step by step to worship at their mother’s grave, about the situation back then, about the subsequent mediation by the Land Officer… He didn’t embellish nor hide anything, telling Di Hongyuan exactly how things were.
“Back then, mother really did die because of her, but she admitted her mistakes before everyone in the village, and since she has no relatives left….” and with that, he tried to explain why Ms. Zhao was still with the Di Family.
Di Hongyuan fell silent for a long while before sighing deeply.
“These years, I’ve reflected a lot on this matter while traveling afar, and early on I realized, the reason mother died might have something to do with Ms Zhao, but largely because she herself wasn’t strong enough…”
She wasn’t strong enough, and so, upon hearing Ms. Zhao’s accusations, she fell into a distressed retreat, eventually falling down the steps and going into premature labor, dying from massive hemorrhage. Ms. Zhao indeed bore a certain responsibility in this matter.
“Forget it! Let’s put this issue behind us. Right now, there are more important matters to attend to.”
Di Hongyuan turned back:”Before father passed away, he entrusted us to bury him together with mother. The problem is that mother wasn’t buried in the Upper Village because she died in childbirth. Now we need to exhume mother’s remains for the joint burial, and I’m worried there will be objections in the Upper Village.”
Had Di Hongyuan not mentioned this, Di Yelei would have forgotten about it.
“So what you mean, big brother…”
“What I’m suggesting is that we select another piece of land. Once the Land Officer has inspected and deemed it suitable, we should buy it. While we’re at it, we can also relocate the graves of our ancestors. What do you think?” Di Hongyuan asked for Di Yelei’s opinion.
“Whatever big brother decides will be fine; I will definitely follow big brother’s instructions.”
“Good! As you have no objections, then I’ll proceed this way.” After saying this, Di Hongyuan turned and left.
“Big brother, have you seen Brother Zhang Peng?”
Watching Di Hongyuan recede into the distance, Di Yelei quickly shouted, stopping Di Hongyuan in his tracks. He turned back to look at him.
“I did, why?”
Di Yelei quickly approached and standing in front of Di Hongyuan, his expression complex, he said, “When you left years ago, you entrusted me to Brother Zhang’s care. If it were not for him these past years, I fear… I would have been long gone.”
Di Hongyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn’t expected that Zhang Peng actually had fulfilled the trust he had placed in him all those years ago.
“I understand.”
