Chapter 152: Chapter 150: Elderly Mr. Di’s Choice and Di Xuan’s Ambition
“Father, what do you need Sisi for?”
Liu Sisi asked softly.
Old Mr. Di’s hand trembled for a long time before he managed to pull out a wallet from under his pillow, gesturing for Liu Sisi to take it.
“This is… the only money left for my Di family. I’ve been carrying it with me to avoid being robbed, it’s not good to always… draw attention. Today, I’ll give this… silver to you as a compensation for what Third Son didn’t get when the family divided the property.”
Old Mr. Di’s breathing was somewhat irregular, and it was clear that he hadn’t recovered from the sudden change.
“Father, Sisi can’t accept this cloth bag.”
Liu Sisi quickly refused.
The original money in the old house was gone, and now Father was taking out the last bit of money for self-protection and giving it as compensation. How could she accept it?
“Sisi! You’ve seen the mess this family is in. Now I don’t feel safe keeping the money anywhere, so I’d rather give it to you. In the future! I don’t know, maybe when Father gets old, you can use this money to bury my old bones…”
As Elderly Mr. Di spoke, he choked up and couldn’t say anything.
Liu Sisi was also very sad. She took a few steps forward and gently pushed the cloth bag back into Elderly Mr. Di’s hands.
“Father, don’t worry! Showing filial piety to our parents is what children should do. Ye Lei and I are young and can slowly earn more money without silver. You keep this money for self-protection, and if you need anything, just let us know.”
As Liu Sisi spoke, she took out some prepared medicinal materials from her arms and handed them to Elderly Mr. Di.
“Here’s some gastrodia, codonopsis, and caterpillar fungus, not much, but it can help nourish Father’s body.”
These medicinal materials were part of the education gift from the Gan Family.
Now, giving them to Elderly Mr. Di to nourish his body, they were all being used.
“This…”
Old Mr. Di couldn’t help it, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He tightly held the medicinal materials in his hand, unable to speak.
As she stepped out of the room, Liu Sisi saw Ms. Zhao standing at the doorway. Ignoring her evasive gaze, Liu jumped straight past her.
At the opening of the well, Di Yelei was whispering with Di Ruoning.
His eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and it was clear that he cared a lot about his little sister, and the two had a close relationship.
As for Di Ruoning’s attitude towards him, it was also very gentle, and her laughter came from the corner of the courtyard now and then, piercing Liu Sisi’s eyes.
Liu Sisi didn’t say anything from the beginning to the end. Out of her female intuition, she always found a hint of subtle hostility from this seemingly gentle and sweet little sister.
But when she looked carefully, she found nothing.
Maybe she was overthinking it?
She frowned.
As the day was getting dark, Di Yelei took the time to bring the two children back from Guihua’s house. As soon as the children arrived at the Di Family, they went straight to Liu Sisi, sticking close to her.
Liu Sisi helped cook the meal, and today, there were no surprises. The whole family enjoyed a happy meal together after a long time.
Liu Sisi looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and the baby chicks, rabbits, Ah-Huang, and the flowers at home hadn’t been taken care of. It was time to go back.
She called Xuan’er and Ying’er, and then got up to leave and returned home.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, why don’t you leave the nephew and niece with me tonight? Let them accompany their young aunt a little longer? If they get sleepy, they’re welcome to stay in the old house.”
