Chapter 761: Chapter 761: The Child Wants to Support but the Parent Is Not Waiting (Part 1)

Inside the Di Residence.

The sky had gradually darkened, and Liu Sisi was still busy.

At dusk, a disheveled Miao Cuihua and Little Chubby arrived, looking as if they had crawled out of a mud pit. Liu Sisi quickly ordered people to take them to wash up.

Miao Cuihua and her son were obviously starving, as they snatched and stuffed pastries into their mouths nonstop after coming out.

“Don’t worry, the cooked dishes will be served soon. Be careful not to eat too many pastries or you won’t have an appetite later.”

Miao Cuihua grunted in her throat without stopping her hand from stuffing pastries into her mouth.

Finally, when the main course was served, the mother and son ate their fill before Miao Cuihua went on to wipe her mouth satisfied.

“Sisi! It’s been two days since I last had a meal. Those wretched people have taken over the small town and have been robbing everywhere. Fortunately, they only emptied the valuable stuff on the counter in the bookstore and left. Little Chubby and I hid in the restroom and didn’t dare to make a sound. We barely escaped.”

“What? The town was robbed? What about my Dad? What happened to them?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately panicked!

Miao Cuihua hurriedly tried to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, your dad should be fine. When these people arrived, they directly went to the Silver Pavilion. The resistance was wiped out. Corpses were thrown out of the Silver Pavilion and covered a vast area. Because of this, none of the other shopkeepers dared to resist, so there weren’t too many casualties…”

Xiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as no one was injured, it’s not a big problem if the silver was lost.”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “That’s true, but it’s still better to go and check. It’s a pity that Cheng’er is busy over there, or else I should send a servant to go and have a look.”

“Thank you, Third Aunt.”

Xiao Feng was genuinely grateful. The Di Residence was now in dire straits, and it was hard for Third Aunt to still think of her family at this time.

“It’s not a problem. You really need to take care of yourself now, don’t sit for too long, you need to lie down and rest properly. Later…it will be difficult to find the rest.”

Liu Sisi’s expression darkened slightly, and she pressed her lips without saying more.

Today was already the third day, and they were afraid that her father could not hold on any longer.

“Are you planning to go back to the small town? No way, you can’t go back.”

Miao Cuihua finally reacted and jumped up anxiously in opposition.

“The streets of the small town are full of people who are looting and killing. My son and I managed to hide until today, only escaping when we saw fewer people in the town. If you go back now…isn’t that like sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth?”

“Is the situation in the small town really that chaotic?”

Liu Sisi furrowed her brows; according to custom, an elder’s funeral had to be held in their hometown, but the small town was an unavoidable route. If her father did pass away…

No! It seems they had to find a way to deal with these bandits first!

“It’s really chaotic! Sisi, I dare not go back to the small town anymore. From now on, Miao Cuihua will follow you and protect you! Don’t worry, I don’t want any wages, just provide three meals a day for my son and me, and that’s enough! Hehehe…”

Miao Cuihua calculated cunningly. There was chaos and insecurity outside, and even food would be a huge problem for her son and her if they left.

“Is my Second Sister still in the small town? Did you see her?”

“When we came, we went to your Second Sister’s place, but there was no one inside.” She originally thought it would be safer with more people, but they didn’t find Liu Zhi’er.

“She’s not there? Where could she have gone? Come here!”

Liu Sisi hurriedly called people and sent two to the small town to inquire.

Seeing Liu Sisi’s anxious face, Miao Cuihua hurriedly comforted her: “Sisi, don’t worry, your Second Sister is not like before. She must have left on her own…”
