Chapter 509: Chapter 509: One Must Suffer the Consequences of One’s Own Actions
“Brother Cheng, we’re here to see you!”
Before even entering the door, YingEr called out loudly.
Di Cheng raised his head from the counter and quickly greeted the visitors, “Third Aunt, you’re here.” While talking, he glanced at Miao Cuihua next to him.
“Sisi, you’re finally here! I went to the residence several times looking for you but couldn’t find you, I thought you were hiding!”
Seeing Liu Sisi coming in, Miao Cuihua threw off the cloth in her hand and went up to take her hand, “Sisi, you have to help me! That damn Shou Hou wants a divorce. He’s now living with that fox spirit outside! Sisi, you have to help me out this time, otherwise, I won’t be able to live!”
Miao Cuihua became more and more agitated as she spoke, and finally started to sob loudly, scaring away two customers who had originally planned to enter the store.
Liu Sisi’s face turned ugly upon seeing this.
“What are you crying for? Can crying bring people back? Didn’t you see the customers get scared away by you?”
These words stopped Miao Cuihua’s crying immediately, and she looked at Liu Sisi with a wronged expression.
“But…but our family is going to be torn apart!”
“Who can you blame for it coming to this? Look at what you do all day long?”
Liu Sisi looked extremely disappointed: “People say that when marrying a wife, marry a virtuous one, who will respect her parents-in-law and raise children! But you, your parents-in-law died early and don’t need your care; instead, you spend your days gossiping and turning Little Chubby into a little ruffian. Moreover, you never give Shou Hou any face, always giving him a hard time in front of others. Isn’t it your own fault that things have come to this point?”
“I…I was just trying to prevent him from going down the wrong path…Who would have thought that he would just…”
As Miao Cuihua brought up the subject, she began to sob again.
“But have you stopped him? Do you think Shou Hou met that woman in the bookstore? I’m telling you, he didn’t!”
Miao Cuihua thought Shou Hou had been corrupted in the bookstore, which really pissed off Liu Sisi!
“No?”
“Of course not! I have already investigated. That day, after you had a quarrel, you kicked him out, right? Ha! You don’t even think about where he could go in such cold weather, wearing only a single layer of clothing? He had no choice but to return to the bookstore, only to save a troubled woman on the way, leading to this mess! It’s all your fault for pushing Shou Hou out the door, because if it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have had the chance to meet that woman. Who can you blame?”
Liu Sisi’s words left Miao Cuihua speechless for a long time. After a while, she started crying again, as if her heart were breaking.
Liu Sisi ignored her and called Di Cheng into the inner room.
“Your mother came today, saying that your grandmother is causing trouble at home again. Also, she mentioned your marriage, and from the looks of it, she hasn’t made any progress in all this time. You’d better take some time to urge her a bit more, otherwise, even if it’s delayed until the end of the year, it might not necessarily happen. Do you understand?”
“Alright, Third Aunt.”
Di Cheng quickly agreed, sounding very helpless, “It’s just that I’m afraid Cheng’er’s words might not be useful, as you know how my mother feels about me…”
“Hmm, I understand. But this is a family matter, and I, as your Third Aunt, really can’t interfere too much. It’s related to your lifelong happiness; it’s good to be an honest person, but not fighting for what you should fight for is not being honest, it’s being foolish!”
“Yes, Cheng’er will definitely follow Third Aunt’s teachings.”
