Chapter 129: Chapter 127: Repaying Debts: The Storm Approaches (Part II)

The two went to Li Wu’s home and Zhang Peng’s home.

Li Wu was not at home, and his daughter-in-law received the silver and thank-you gift, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Guihua accepted the snacks, but she wouldn’t take anything else, like the silk cloth and eggs.

Pulling Liu Sisi aside quietly, Guihua whispered, “I know your family’s situation better than anyone else. I’m afraid that once you repay this silver, your family will have nothing left, right?”

“Sister Guihua…” Liu Sisi didn’t know what to say.

She guessed correctly, they only had a few dozen scattered copper coins left besides the ten taels of silver for the education gift.

“You! Take these things back at once! When your family becomes wealthy, I’ll come asking for help without you needing to say anything, and you won’t be able to get rid of me.” Guihua said proudly.

This made Liu Sisi laugh.

“Sister Guihua, when that time comes, I’ll never forget what you said today. However, you must hold on to these things in the basket. There’s no reason to take back what you’ve given. And every time you sent something to my house, I’ve always accepted it happily, I never declined. So, just accept it without hesitation.”

Liu Sisi said, forcefully picking up the items from the bamboo basket and placing them on the table.

“Well, alright! But remember, this is only one time, it won’t happen again.” Guihua reluctantly accepted.

On the other side, Di Yelei and Zhang Peng were talking about something, looking serious. It wasn’t until Liu Sisi called him that he left with a frown.

“What happened, Ye Lei?” Liu Sisi asked curiously.

Di Yelei shook his head: “Nothing… Let’s go! To the old house.”

The pastries and other things in the bamboo basket were meant for his father to eat.

The sun gradually set in the west, and when the two arrived at the old house, they saw Elderly Mr. Di with a crutch in his hand, taking one step at a time on the small path outside, and on his shoulder, he was carrying a hoe.

“Dad! What are you doing? Put the hoe down right away!”

Di Yelei strode forward, snatched the hoe from Elderly Mr. Di’s shoulder, and threw it far away!

“Th-third Brother… how did you get here?”

Elderly Mr. Di’s hand was shaking badly, and it was unclear whether it was because Di Yelei had scared him or because he was excited.

“There are so many people in the house, can’t you let them do the work? Your illness is not healed yet. If something happens to you again, who will pity you? Come on, go inside and rest.”

While speaking, Di Yelei didn’t let Elderly Mr. Di say anything. He bent down and carried Elderly Mr. Di on his back, striding towards the old house.

Liu Sisi quickly followed with the bamboo basket.

Bang!

Di Yelei kicked the door open!

“Are all the people dead? Those who are alive better roll out here!”

He roared at the top of his lungs!

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the main room and both wing rooms on the left and right sides. Soon, numerous heads appeared at the doorway, but seeing Di Yelei’s fierce face at the entrance, they all drew back quickly.

It was a joke! Hiding was always better than being beaten. Who would go out and ask for death?!

Di Yelei walked forward one step at a time, with each step, the ground shook.
