Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Just Can’t Learn to Behave!

Di Cheng stuttered, his face flush with embarrassment.

“What’s going on?” Liu Sisi couldn’t quite catch on.

Di Cheng started to feel anxious!

“Third Aunt, it’s Feng’er from the blacksmith shop in the small town…”

Only then did Liu Sisi suddenly understand and immediately became overjoyed!

“Oh! You mean that matter? My goodness! This is such great news! Our Di Cheng is going to start a family and a career, we have to celebrate this properly.”

Before the New Year, Di Cheng mentioned that the blacksmith’s daughter, Feng’er, in the small town had a charming appearance, and they had caught each other’s eyes. However, the blacksmith had only one precious daughter, and naturally wanted a son-in-law to live with them. Even without the son-in-law living with them, they demanded fifty taels of silver as betrothal gifts, plus a house in the small town.

Therefore, Liu Sisi did not think this would work out, so she told Di Cheng to talk to Ms. Wang first. If necessary, she would step in and say a few words herself.

Unexpectedly, Di Cheng managed to make it happen!

Thinking about Ms. Wang’s temperament, Liu Sisi felt a bit uneasy inside.

Di Cheng smiled naïvely, scratching his head: “The matter isn’t even close to being settled, Third Aunt, don’t tease Cheng’er. However, if this really works out, Cheng’er will definitely thank Third Aunt!”

Di Cheng said it very seriously.

“No need for thanks, as long as you two can have a good life and support your little family well. That’s enough!”

Liu Sisi spoke sincerely, thought for a moment, and still couldn’t help but ask about the worry in her heart.

“When did you mention this to your mother? What did she say at that time?”

Di Cheng grinned, his smile bearing a striking resemblance to Di Yelei: “It was just yesterday morning when my mom came to the store to get my wages from last month. I just brought it up to her casually. She agreed!”

“How…how did she respond to you at that time?” Liu Sisi hesitated to ask further.

It was no wonder she asked repeatedly. Ms. Wang was very unreliable in doing things and extremely greedy. In addition, she had never taken a liking to Di Cheng. With a house plus fifty taels of betrothal gifts, and all the odds and ends for the wedding, they would need at least 200 taels of silver.

For someone like Ms. Wang, who hated being unable to save even on food, wasn’t this equivalent to ripping a piece of flesh from her own body?

However, it was unbelievable that Ms. Wang would agree without any fuss. It was so unlike her usual style!

“My mom even laughed and said it was all up to me.”

Di Cheng couldn’t suppress his excitement.

“Does your mother plan to discuss the marriage proposal details with you? Did she mention which matchmaker to hire? Did she pick a date and say when to visit the bride’s family?”

“Uh… she didn’t mention any of that. But after she said those words, she left.” Di Cheng was obviously a bit puzzled.

“You mean!” Liu Sisi asked word by word: “Your meaning is that yesterday you mentioned this, your mother said ‘whatever you want,’ and then she left?”

“That’s right; you know my mother…rarely speaks to Cheng’er…”

Di Cheng felt a bit embarrassed; his smile had become slightly bitter.

Liu Sisi nodded and seemed to understand Ms. Wang’s thoughts. In Ms. Wang’s view, Di Cheng proposing this matter was like a toad trying to eat a swan’s meat—a fanciful delusion. That’s why she said “whatever you want” to belittle Di Cheng!

Liu Sisi sighed inwardly, couldn’t help but feel sad for Di Cheng before her.

Both were her children, yet Brother Gao was pampered and protected by Ms. Wang while Di Cheng was trampled into the mud and ignored. Even then, she wasn’t satisfied and wanted to exploit the silver Di Cheng had earned, almost as if she wanted to drain his every last bit of marrow!
