Chapter 67: Chapter 64: Ms. Wang Comes to the Door to Demand Payment
He clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, but didn’t say a word.
As the people were talking, Di Yelei, with an iron-blue face, had already passed by them and went straight into the house, slamming the door with a loud “bang”, making the house tremble for a moment.
Three children were scared into silence, but the only two little puppies still wagged their tails and followed closely without any impact on them.
A hint of sourness rose from the bottom of Liu Sisi’s heart, her eyes dimmed.
She knew Di Yelei disapproved of her going out to work, but the job allowed her to get closer to books, and she would never give it up!
“Xuan’er, come here.”
Liu Sisi called out to Di Xuan, waving at him.
Di Xuan was feeling upset at the moment, hearing Liu Sisi’s shout, he reluctantly walked over, his lips pursed and silent.
Liu Sisi didn’t dwell on it, taking out the calligraphy tools she had bought, she handed them to Di Xuan.
“Although mom didn’t buy you candied hawthorns, I bought you these instead. Look inside. Do you like them?”
Di Xuan obviously didn’t expect Liu Sisi to buy him something; he hesitated before opening the paper package, then gasped, with tears immediately welling up.
“Mom! ——”
Di Xuan’s call was full of emotion and unceasing tears.
“As long as you like it! But remember, be careful when using it, and never damage it, understand?”
“I understand, mom!” Di Xuan nodded heavily.
“Good, it’s getting late, I’ll go cook.”
After saying that, Liu Sisi went into the kitchen, thinking about how to persuade that stubborn donkey-head to agree, so she could help in the drawing workshop.
“Di Xuan, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Zhang Yun, who had been playing happily with YingEr next to him, rushed over when he saw Di Xuan cry.
Di Xuan sobbed, wiping his tears, “My mom, my mom she…”
“What happened to her?” Zhang Yun grew worried.
Not long ago, several of his playmates had secretly ridiculed Di Xuan; they assumed there wouldn’t be good days for him after his stepmother moved in. However, Di Xuan was crying so hard now, did his stepmother hurt him while he wasn’t paying attention?
But these words, Zhang Yun only thought about them in his mind and didn’t say out loud.
Di Xuan kept wiping his tears and shook his head vigorously, choking, “My mom, my mom bought me a set of calligraphy tools! Look! I…I’m just so happy! Sob sob…”
It was indeed a set of the Four Treasures of the Study!
Zhang Yun looked at the cloth bag tightly grasped in Di Xuan’s hand, filled with envy!
He initially thought Di Xuan had been mistreated by his stepmother, but didn’t think that this stepmother would give him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study so casually, which were not cheap— a set cost several taels of money!
Unexpectedly, they really gave Di Xuan the set, moreover, Di Xuan was only seven and a half years old!
