Chapter 243: Chapter 241: Allocation of Housing and Nitration of Leather Material

Night! It’s getting colder and colder!

Liu Sisi silently rolls up the elderly Mr. Di’s clothes, packs the bedding and blankets, tidies up his belongings, and under Ms. Wang’s watchful eye, she doesn’t take a single extra thing, then quickly walks out of the room.

At the main entrance, YingEr’s father stands quietly in the cold wind, silently listening to Ms. Zhao’s wailing, not even stepping into the room.

His back is old and desolate, but carries an inexplicable fierceness!

With a face void of any expression, he silently gazes at the pitch-black void.

Seeing Liu Sisi carrying a stack of items from the room, he immediately turns around and, leaning on his crutch, walks away from the Di family step by step.

“Old man!——”

In the old house, only Ms. Zhao’s loud crying can still be heard from afar.

“Old man! You heartless thing! You really abandoned me! Old man…”

Having walked far away, Liu Sisi quickly catches up, places all the items in her left hand to free the right hand and tries to help Elderly Mr. Di: “Father…”

“Don’t! …I can walk myself!”

Elderly Mr. Di pushes away Liu Sisi’s help, moves forward slowly, and the two figures gradually merge into the darkness, one following the other.

When they arrive at the Di Family, Di Xuan had already prepared hot water under Liu Sisi’s orders.

Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, upon seeing the two return, chase them playfully, hopping before and after them, incredibly happy.

“Father! It’s really cold today, please sit down and warm your hands and feet! Don’t let them freeze.”

Liu Sisi touches her face, which is completely numb and has almost no sensation.

After considering, Liu Sisi moves the bamboo bed out of the room temporarily and places it in a corner of the hall. She adds a thick grass mat from the head of the bed and then starts laying the bedding.

“Father! The bed is ready. Please make do for a couple of days; when Ye Lei returns, we will find you a more comfortable spot.”

Elderly Mr. Di silently washes his face, warms his feet, changes into clean clothes, and then climbs onto the bamboo bed, covering himself with a quilt and curling up his body to sleep.

Everyone was truly exhausted after a whole day of turmoil.

Liu Sisi rolls around restlessly, unable to sleep. After making such a major decision today on her own, she wonders if Ye Lei will think she didn’t handle it well when he finds out.

In her restlessness, she eventually drifts off to sleep, not knowing when.

In a daze, it seems like she hears the low whines of Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, followed by the sound of the door opening. Liu Sisi wakes up immediately. Sitting up, she hears faint voices coming from the hall.

It’s Di Yelei who has returned!

Liu Sisi hurriedly tidies herself up and walks out of the room, and indeed, outside is still dim, and the day hasn’t even broken yet, but Di Yelei is already back.

In the hall, Elderly Mr. Di is tucked into a corner where the light doesn’t shine, and his face is obscured. He seems to be saying something but stops when he sees Liu Sisi coming out.

“Ye Lei, you’re back,” Liu Sisi whispers.

“Dad! It’s still early, you get some more sleep. I’ll take care of this game first.”

Di Yelei glances at Liu Sisi and then takes the game into the kitchen.

“Go ahead…”

Elderly Mr. Di speaks softly.

Without disturbing the old man, Liu Sisi tiptoes in after Di Yelei into the kitchen.
