Chapter 235:Chapter 233: A Joyful Event Visits the Door Again, The Newcomer’s Meeting Gift
“Sister Guihua, you eat too.” Liu Sisi hurriedly served some food to Guihua.
Guihua’s face was filled with joy: “Our YingEr is getting prettier and prettier, so well-behaved! Here! Have a piece of this. This stewed pig stomach is tender and delicious.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
YingEr squinted her eyes and smiled in gratitude, then continued eating with her head buried in the bowl.
Taking advantage of the mealtime, Liu Sisi whispered their decision with Ye Lei: “Sister Guihua, Ye Lei said that YingEr and Yun Er’s engagement banquet will be postponed until December. You know about Ye Lei’s condition, so…”
This put Guihua’s mind at ease, and she immediately rejoiced!
Although both families had secretly agreed on the outcome, until the engagement was set, their hearts were hanging. At the moment, they were more than happy to hear Liu Sisi bring it up.
She hurriedly put down her chopsticks: “There’s no rush. Ye Lei is still recovering from his injuries which makes him unsuitable for large-scale preparations. It’s perfect to postpone it until December when everyone is free, so everything will work out!”
With Guihua’s words, Liu Sisi also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Exactly! When the time comes, we can all get together again and have a great time!”
The neighboring table saw the two of them whispering and couldn’t help but tease: “What good news are you two whispering about? Tell everyone to hear!”
Guihua and Liu Sisi’s eyes met in mid-air, and they both laughed: “Isn’t there good news?! And it’s a huge one!”
“What good news?”
“Naturally, it’s the great news about our Zhang Yun and Di Ying!”
Guihua laughed proudly.
“Oh! It really is great news! In that case, congratulations, congratulations!” Everyone hurriedly congratulated, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter.
Meanwhile, YingEr, one of the protagonists under discussion, was struggling with the food in her bowl, without connecting the words of the adults to herself.
On the other side of the table,
Because Di Yelei was covered in bandages, even with the obstruction of clothes, the villagers could still see his injuries. Liu Sisi didn’t need to worry about people persuading him to drink, and nothing like that happened.
Over the meal, Di Yelei casually mentioned that he wanted Di Cheng to help him, and much to their surprise, Di Gaoyuan agreed on the spot.
Di Gaoyuan’s thinking was simple: the crops in the fields had been harvested, and he had heard early on that Liu Sisi was working in the bookstore in the small town but had not found an opportunity to start the conversation.
Initially, when his elder brother simply left without looking back, he also had some complaints in his heart.
Over the years, he struggled under Ms. Zhao’s oppression and dreamed of being able to straighten his back, stand tall, and make a name for himself in the world!
The best and most direct way was the same as his elder brother back then: to leave everything behind and soar high!
So when Di Yelei brought up having Di Cheng help at the bookstore, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
After thinking about it and recalling Ms. Wang and the stepmother’s squabbles, he said after a brief consideration: “I’ll talk to mom. Cheng’er will be in your hands from now on. I’ll feel at ease with him being by your side.”
They absolutely couldn’t let those two ruin everything!
After the meal, Liu Sisi didn’t linger. She helped Di Yelei go home directly.
The farce-like wedding had come to an end.
On the second day, for the new wife’s family visit, Di Yelei stayed at home under the pretext of being sick and Liu Sisi went to the old house alone.
