Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Ms. Xin Begs, Sisi’s Soft Heart Saves People
Perhaps it was this matter that stimulated Liu Sisi. After she had checked all the account books, Shou Hou still didn’t show up, and she lost interest in staying longer.
“If Shou Hou comes, tell him that it’s me who said this: if he still wants to do this job, do it seriously! If he’s really too busy to work, go back earlier and rest! This bookstore can’t afford such a big Buddha!”
Blunt words but not blunt reasoning; this is running a shop, not playing around.
Di Cheng agreed repeatedly: “Cheng’er will pass the message on to Shou Hou.”
Leaving the bookstore, Liu Sisi walked along the street. As she passed by the blacksmith’s shop, she went inside and bought several suitable knives: a kitchen knife, a letter opener, a fruit peeler, and a boning knife. Then she left to head home.
Not long after leaving, she was attracted by a figure by the roadside and stopped.
Not far in front, Ms. Xin was dressed in a peach-pink dress, holding a light yellow paper umbrella, adorned with large, bright red peony flowers that caught the eyes of passers-by.
She had been standing by the roadside for quite some time, and her clothing outside the paper umbrella was soaked.
She seemed to notice someone behind her, and as she turned her head, she happened to meet Liu Sisi’s gaze, which was slightly panicky. Nevertheless, she smiled at Liu Sisi.
She timidly called out, “Third Sister-in-law…”
It was raining and snowing today, and as soon as it fell on people, it immediately melted.
Liu Sisi pushed open the yard door and walked in. Closing the paper umbrella, she casually placed it under the eaves and called out to Ms. Xin behind her.
“Just leave the umbrella here and come in to talk!”
Ms. Xin’s gaze shifted slightly, taking in the entire small courtyard, as she placed the umbrella down and stepped into the yard.
In the room, Liu Sisi looked around and saw no one. She grabbed a towel and wiped her hands, then took a kettle off the brazier, filled a cup of tea water, and placed it next to Ms. Xin.
“My father-in-law, YingEr, and Da Mao are all in the room. They must have gone to the clinic diagonally opposite again. Are you here to see my father-in-law? You can wait for a moment, and I’ll help you call him back.”
As Liu Sisi spoke, she made a move to go out.
Little Cui quickly stood up and called out to her, “Third Sister-in-law! Little Cui came here specifically to see you today.”
“To see me? I didn’t know that we had anything to talk about.”
Liu Sisi’s mouth twitched, showing a sarcastic smile.
Ms. Xin’s face turned pale, but she still respectfully bowed: “Third Sister-in-law, I… Little Cui is pregnant.”
“Oh? Congratulations! When the baby is born, I’ll definitely prepare a gift to complete the friendship between Ye Lei and his brother.”
The smile on Liu Sisi’s face was bright, but it did not reach her eyes.
“Third Sister-in-law! ”
Ms. Xin’s heart raced, and she could no longer care about the others. She kowtowed, her head hitting the ground with loud thumps.
“Third Sister-in-law, please! Please save Little Cui and the child in my stomach! Please, Third Sister-in-law!”
This action startled Liu Sisi for a moment, but she immediately became angry!
