Translator: 549690339

Liu Sisi was about to take her leave, but Madam Gan Senior held her hand with a loving smile on her face.

“It’s been quite busy during the end of the year, and I haven’t had the chance to talk to you! Ruo Ruo is a very strong-willed girl, and she will be going to the capital with your father after the New Year. I’m worried about her being inexperienced. I’m glad you’re by her side to guide her. I’m saying thank you on behalf of Ruo Ruo.”

Liu Sisi’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat! Was her conversation with Ruo Ruo yesterday overheard?

Feeling a sense of unease, she forced a smile: “Why is Grandmother saying such things? Ruo Ruo and I are good sisters. It’s only natural for me to give advice to my younger sister. I don’t deserve your gratitude.” As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Madam Gan Senior.

“You deserve it, you deserve it! Alas! I’m old and don’t have much to look forward to. But for Ruo Ruo, I have high hopes. I just wish her to be safe and sound.”

As she spoke, Madam Gan Senior took out a red envelope from her bosom and handed it to Liu Sisi’s hand: “Here! This dividend belongs to you. Keep it well, and don’t refuse it for being too little.”

“Thank you, Grandmother.”

Liu Sisi reached out and took it. She quickly scanned the contents, and surprise flashed in her eyes!

She could hardly believe her eyes. Wasn’t it just one portion of profits? It turned out to be as much as 1,000 taels! How could she not widen her eyes in shock? After a moment, she quickly hid her surprise and thanked the old lady again.

“You don’t need to thank me. Just remember that this dividend is what you deserve.”

At the moment, Liu Sisi didn’t understand what she meant.

When she finally understood the implications, it was already a long time later.

They left for two days, not coming back full-loaded until the afternoon.

The heavy snow was increasing, and the visibility was almost zero. The two of them braved the snowstorm to return home. By the time they dismounted, Liu Sisi was almost frozen stiff.

Di Yelei didn’t worry about the jujube red horse and directly carried Liu Sisi, who was wrapped in his arms, into the house.

“Quick! Add more firewood to the fire! Sisi is frozen!”

As Di Yelei lifted the curtain while speaking, he took two big strides and placed her beside the bonfire.

As soon as she entered the suddenly warm room, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but sneeze twice, tears and mucus streaming down her face.

“It’s so… cold outside…”

Liu Zhi’er, who was busy in the room, saw them and quickly made the bonfire blaze: “Why did you rush home in such heavy snow? Isn’t the New Year not until the day after tomorrow? You could’ve come back tomorrow.”

Old Man Di beside also hurriedly made the underground heating more robust and heated the charcoal stove at the corner of the room to warm them.

Di Yelei couldn’t care less and went straight to the bedroom to fetch a long coat to put on Liu Sisi, wrapping her tightly.

“How are you feeling, Sisi? Still cold?”

Liu Sisi’s teeth were chattering, and her body was shivering. She reluctantly shook her head: “Not cold… I’ll be fine soon. You should go check on the jujube red horse… don’t let it get frostbite.” Her words were almost incoherent.

“Alright, Xuan’er, bring your mother a bowl of boiled water quickly.”

Di Yelei yelled and lifted the curtain to go out again.

“Okay.”
