Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Turmoil – Unexpected Arrival, A Cloud of Suspicion
“What do you mean?”
Liu Sisi instinctively grabbed the paper package and began to unwrap it.
The words ‘take’ and ‘care’ were misheard by Sisi as ‘dispose’ due to Guihua’s pronunciation. She asked directly.
“Don’t…”
Guihua was also quite embarrassed and quickly stopped Sisi from unwrapping the package: “I just wanted to help… This is the only solution, Sisi, don’t blame me for being nosy.”
This was the medicine powder Guihua had specially prepared for Di Yelei after discussing with Zhang Peng. Originally, she wanted Zhang Peng to give it to Di Yelei, but Zhang Peng was too shy and refused, saying that they had to save face for Di Yelei.
She really didn’t understand, they were already at this point, what face was there to save?
It was only right to consummate the marriage first!
Having no choice, she could only give it to Sisi.
As Guihua didn’t allow her to open it now and asked her to give it to Di Yelei in the evening, it seemed that the thing inside the paper package was quite important!
Liu Sisi’s pretty face couldn’t help but turn red. Without saying much, she hastily stuffed the paper package into her pocket and coughed lightly while shaking her head.
“Sister Guihua, what are you talking about? Since marrying into this family, I’ve been grateful for your and Brother Zhang’s care. Even though they are not blood brothers, their bond is much stronger. You’ve always taken good care of me. On the contrary, I… after marrying into this family, always brought trouble to you and…”
“Hey! We’re all brothers here, why say all these things? I’m just glad you don’t think I’m nosy.”
Having resolved a major issue, Guihua felt a weight lift from her chest. She couldn’t help but change the subject as she found the atmosphere a bit odd: “The food should be ready soon, let’s set the table. Once they’re done with their work, everyone can fill their stomachs.”
Liu Sisi naturally had no objections: “Alright, let’s follow Sister Guihua’s arrangement.”
That night, Guihua’s family stayed at Di Family for dinner.
As usual, Sisi scooped some of each dish and let Di Xuan bring them to the old house before starting her own meal.
Zhang Yun brought a jar of his homemade sorghum liquor. As he opened the lid, the fragrant and passionate aroma of the wine filled the air.
Di Yelei and Zhang Peng drank cup after cup, gradually letting loose and enjoying the delicious food on the table. The crispy small fish, sweet and sour fish, braised rabbit meat, dry-fried green beans, and shrimp and vegetable buns were all mouth-watering…
The full table of food gradually made its way into everyone’s stomachs. Everyone except the two drinkers had already left the table.
As Liu Sisi chatted with Guihua, they cut the cloth into pieces, planning to sew them into garments later.
They drank until the waning moon hung low in the west, and Di Yelei’s face was flushed red as he swayed the already passed out Zhang Peng.
“Come on! Zhang Peng, you… drink! Let’s keep drinking… drink!…”
“What are you drinking for? You’re already so drunk, how can you keep going like this?”
As they chatted, time flew by. By the time Guihua noticed, the two men were clearly drunk.
Despite pouring them two bowls of hangover drink, there seemed to be no improvement. In the end, Guihua had no choice but to call Zhang Yun. The two of them supported the unconscious Zhang Peng and staggered home.
Di Yelei, with his drunken eyes, headed towards the bathing room.
The two children were sleeping soundly, and Liu Sisi tidied up the room. Not seeing Di Yelei, she suspected that he might have gotten drunk and passed out in the bathroom.
Liu Sisi hesitated, then picked up the oil lamp and went into the bathroom.
Just as she had guessed, the man’s tall body was curled up in the large wooden barrel, with only his head sticking out. He was sound asleep. This bathtub was specially made for Di Yelei, with a diameter of 1.2 meters and a height of 70 centimeters. His tall figure lying in the bathtub didn’t seem out of place at all.
