Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Ms. Zhao Eyes Silver with Envy, Sisi Stops Any Opposition

This frustrating feeling of having energy with nowhere to exert it made it hard for him to fall asleep.

That night, Father Di didn’t leave until very late.

Liu Sisi and Di Xuan supported him back to the old house, where they were naturally greeted by a barrage of scolding from Ms. Zhao.

Ms. Zhao now seemed to be on a roll!

If anyone in the old house could suppress these sprightly individuals, it was naturally old man Di!

But with old man Di’s illness, not only can he not maintain order, he can’t even speak clearly, eats slowly, and needs help to walk, losing more and more respect.

Moreover, with Di Ah-Bao’s rushed wedding preparation, everyone was busy, so all the family’s money naturally fell into Ms. Zhao’s hands.

Ms. Zhao, who was naturally sharp-tongued, couldn’t help but beam with joy at such good fortune.

However, her daughter-in-law’s status was something she couldn’t show, causing her excitement to be somewhat dampened.

She didn’t dare to openly trample on people, but spared no effort in indirect insults.

Such as right now!

“Is there no one to do the housework? The food grain is still piled up without anyone to manage it. Are we planning to starve in this winter? The new daughter-in-law will be coming soon, but no one is taking care of all the household chores. Are you planning to make me, an old woman, do everything?…”

Ms. Zhao stood under the eaves and cursed, while Di Gaoyuan’s family hid inside the house, poking their heads out to watch, looking as if they were enjoying a good show.

The smuggest one of all had to be Di Ah-Bao!

Despite having gauze wrapped around his neck, he was sitting at the entrance of the left wing room, happily whistling.

Seeing the people returning, he didn’t even budge.

Usually, after the grain was dried, it was Di Yelei who stored it. This year, with Di Yelei injured, the grain was still piled in the hall.

What upset Ms. Zhao the most was that Ah-Bao’s wedding was almost here, but the house showed no signs of preparation, they didn’t even buy the necessary red cloth, so how could she not be flustered and angry?

The more Ms. Zhao thought about it, the angrier she got, and the smoother her cursing became: “….You lazy pigs! All you know is eating! And when you go out it’s for a whole day. Do you think this is an inn? If it’s so good outside, stay outside and don’t come back. Seeing you just makes me angry …”

The more she thought, the angrier she got, and the harsher her scolding became!

Liu Sisi stepped forward to interject, but someone grabbed her sleeve.

She looked back and saw her father-in-law shaking his head at her with a weary expression: “Be… careful! The road is… slippery…you…should…go back…early.”

Seeing her father-in-law shivering in the autumn wind, Liu Sisi swallowed back her rebuttal to Ms. Zhao.

Her words would only bring trouble to her father-in-law if she argued with Ms. Zhao just to feel good for a moment.

After a brief thought, regarding the brown-nosing look from Ms. Zhao, she simply smiled: “Father, this money is what Yelei left for you. If you have nothing to do, just buy some snacks as pocket expenses, don’t be reluctant to spend it. Although it’s not much, it at least represents Yelei’s kindness. Father, please keep it.”

During the speech, Liu Sisi took out 2 taels of silver from her arms and forcefully stuffed them into Elderly Mr. Di’s hand.

“Third Child’s daughter-in-law…”

Old man Di was taken aback and stubbornly pushed it back: “Third Child’s injury…needs money…you keep it…”
