Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Liquidation
“Back then, our family was poor, and I really… I’m sorry, Sisi. I wronged you.”
Di Yelei’s voice grew softer and softer.
“What are you talking about? That’s all in the past now, don’t dwell on it.”
Liu Sisi was actually more open-minded: “Besides, the time I’ve been married to you, although life was initially tough, haven’t our days gradually become better? Compared to a grand wedding, I’d rather live a good life without unnecessary dramas.”
“Sisi, with a wife like you, what can’t I overcome?”
Di Yelei shook his head, bent down and directly picked up Liu Sisi: “Come on! Let your husband carry you for a while.”
“Oh! Be careful!”
In the dark, her sudden embrace made Liu Sisi’s heart race like a startled little deer.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve walked this short distance hundreds of times.”
In the darkness, Di Yelei’s deep laughter filled with a strong smell of alcohol, which was sprayed on her face with every breath.
“Look at you, reeking of alcohol and still acting cocky.”
Liu Sisi involuntarily clung to his neck and laughed!
The two of them exchanged words, slowly walking towards home.
“Sisi, has the price of grain in the small town been rising lately?”
“I guess so. A few days ago, when Di Cheng got married, I bought two dans of grain, and it cost three taels and three maces per dan. It was two taels and nine maces per dan when we bought grain for the New Year. Why? Why did you suddenly ask about this?”
Di Yelei did not answer, instead embracing her and walking quietly for a while.
“There was an incident in the border city. The ethnic groups attacked two border cities, looting, killing, and stealing grain. His Majesty was furious and ordered an investigation.”
“Huh? Hasn’t it been many years since there had been any wars?” Liu Sisi raised her brows intuitively.
“It’s been many years without wars in Macheng County, but the situation on the border has been unstable, and the ethnic groups have never stopped invading our Great Zhao.”
“Then… how did you know that?”
At this moment, they had reached the yard entrance, and Di Yelei gently put her down, looking into her eyes.
“Brother Nan told me.”
There was a gleam in Di Yelei’s eyes, as if he had countless things to say.
Just then, the main entrance was opened, and Old Cheng greeted them happily: “Old Master, Madam, you’re back.”
“Yes, we’re back.”
Finishing the sentence, she didn’t wait for Di Yelei to say anything else, and she took the lead in entering their residence.
What does Brother Nan mean by telling Yelei about this?
She pondered over this question all night long.
The next day, Di Cheng came early with Xiao Feng to pay respects to their relatives, bringing gifts such as her handmade wallet.
Old Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao had prepared meeting gifts early. For the first grandson to get married, Elderly Mr. Di wasn’t stingy and directly gave a silver ingot of 5 taels.
When it came to Di Yelei and Liu Sisi, as Liu Sisi had already given the jadeite bracelet earlier, she gave a silver hairpin as a meeting gift at the moment.
What Xiao Feng gave was an exceptionally peculiar bow.
“This bow has been in the storeroom since my great-grandfather’s time. It’s so special that not only can it shoot a single feather arrow, but it can also shoot three arrows at once. As a result, it requires great arm strength to pull this bow…”
