Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Betrothal Gifts of 500 Taels of Silver
“Ah, you know what, I actually have a great idea.”
Guihua’s eyes flickered, and she jumped down from the tree, immediately whispering in Liu Sisi’s ear.
“This… will it really work? Ms. Wang is a person whose eyes only see money.” Liu Sisi was still somewhat worried.
“This is simple, we can use a two-pronged approach.”
Guihua whispered again.
Liu Sisi pondered, “Fine, let’s do it this way. However, it’s not good for either of us to be involved directly. How about this…”
A glint flashed in her eyes.
…
“Di Wei! Di Wei, you little bastard, where the hell did you go and die? Di Wei!”
Ms. Wang was fuming, cursing Di Wei out loud.
Di Wei came running, panting with a bunch of vegetables in her arms, “Mom, did you call me?”
“You little good-for-nothing, I’ve been calling you for ages and you don’t even make a sound? Are you deaf or dumb? Don’t think that just because you’re getting married now, I can’t boss you around anymore. Let me tell you, even if you die, you still came out of my womb!… Now get into the kitchen and cook!”
Ms. Wang’s scolding was masterful, she could curse for quite a while without repeating herself.
If outsiders heard her, they’d definitely think she was cursing her mortal enemy, never realizing that she was actually scolding her own biological daughter.
“Yes, mom.”
Di Wei dared not say a word and quickly bowed before entering the kitchen.
It wasn’t until there were no more people nearby that her tears once again fell. If it were possible, she’d really not want to have come out of her mother’s womb.
Ms. Wang had been furious enough to leave, but then she saw Di Wei standing motionless at the kitchen door and her anger rose once again, cursing loudly.
Just as she was getting into the swing of her tirade, a voice suddenly came from outside, “Ms. Wang, Ms. Wang, are you at home?”
Was it the Land Officer’s wife? What was that old woman doing here?
Although that’s what Ms. Wang thought, her face immediately broke into a smile and she went out to greet her.
“Oh my! It’s the Land Officer’s wife! What kind of wind blew you here? Please come in. Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei! You little dead girl, why are you playing dead again? Hurry up and boil some water for tea!” As she invited the Land Officer’s wife inside, she shouted at Di Wei.
Di Wei trembled and appeared in the doorway of the kitchen, “Mom, Mom, there’s no more… no more tea leaves at home…”
Her words made Ms. Wang’s face stiffen immediately, and she glared at Di Wei, who had no sense of propriety!
Couldn’t she see that she was just talking casually?
Let alone running out of tea leaves, even if they had some, she wouldn’t serve this old woman any tea!
Ms. Wang glared, and Di Wei shrank even more, quivering like a sieve!
The Land Officer’s wife took in the scene before her eyes and looked down with disdain. This was truly a shallow person, beyond cure!
However, she had to continue her ingratiating act since she was here to pass on a message.
