Chapter 124: Chapter 122 Comparison Ends in Discard: The Embarrassed Sisi
Ms. Zhao dared not say a word and kept her head down to eat, her eyes rolling non-stop, not knowing what strange ideas she was brewing.
Elder Mr. Di sensed something wrong, put down his bowl with a snap, picked up his pipe and forcefully knocked it a few times against the edge of the table, clearing his throat loudly.
“Third Child has had a tough life since childhood, never having tasted his mother’s milk. It was Hongyuan who raised him by feeding him rice paste. Later he separated from the family and lived on his own when he was still very young. I, as his father, couldn’t offer any help, even holding him back. Now that his wife is ill, it’s a good opportunity for him to take some action. We cannot be estranged from him. After all, he too is a part of my Di family’s lineage.”
Having said this, Elder Mr. Di swept a glance at everyone present. The implication of his stern gaze was apparent.
This was undoubtedly hinting to everyone about his final decision!
Ms. Zhao protested, “Father, what do you mean by that? Third Brother is a harbinger of disaster. Last time, Brother Gao escaped death narrowly because of him and got two of his front teeth broken! Even till now, his speech is impaired, fixing false teeth costs a fortune. If this leads to any other mishaps…”
“That’s what you all deserve!”
Elder Mr. Di slammed his pipe forcefully, “Do not think I am dying and ignorant of what you lot have been up to! You little rascals listen to me, as long as I, Elder Mr. Di am alive for one more day, I will remain the head of the Di family!”
He glared fiercely at each one of them. The implication of his words was quite clear.
Everyone started to avoid his gaze, no one dared to meet his eyes.
Over the years, he has loved Di Ah-bao the most. But it was this beloved child who almost annoyed him to death, not only did he not give him medicine, but he also acted as if nothing was wrong, showed no signs of remorse at all!
On the contrary, Third Child, whom he paid least regard to, sought the doctors and brought medication for him, looked after him day and night.
Not to mention bringing food over for him every two or three days…
It’s not that one doesn’t appreciate it, it’s that comparison brings out the value!
Di Ah-Bao has indeed hurt him deeply this time.
Elder Mr. Di closed his eyes in pain, faintly moved his numb left hand, held his powerless leg, and remembered Third Child’s goodness towards himself. He felt ashamed.
“Di Cheng! Hurry up and take it to your Third Uncle. I dare to see who would dare to say no!”
Only after Elder Mr. Di’s words, did Di Cheng dare to come to the Di family with the bamboo basket under the green glances of everyone.
“Since it is a gift from father, you can just set it in the hall.”
Di Yelei nodded to show that he understood, secretly thinking that once Sisi got better, he would accompany her to thank the old house.
However, there were only a few reasonable people over there at the old house. He must protect her, so that she wouldn’t get bullied.
“Alright, Third Uncle.”
Di Cheng’s actions were quick, he put the basket in the hall and then turned and left. He began rolling up his trouser legs. “Third Uncle, let me help you dig!”
While talking, he got down into the water canal.
“No… well, you can just dig along the edge.” Di Yelei tried to stop him, but Di Cheng was already in the water.
“Okay!”
