Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Don’t Even Think of Crossing Over from Here

“Give her a meeting gift? She doesn’t even hesitate to take this money! We’ve been married for days, and she only comes to visit us with empty hands today. On the contrary, I still have to give her a meeting gift. What’s going on here? I’m just…”

Ms. Zhao’s words automatically faded after Elderly Mr. Di’s gaze swept over her.

After mumbling for a while, Ms. Zhao reluctantly took out a wrinkled red envelope from her arms and handed it over.

“Thank you, Father-in-law, thank you, Mother-in-law.”

Liu Sisi thanked and tried to take the red envelope from Ms. Zhao’s hand.

Ms. Zhao’s hand clenched tightly onto the corner of the red envelope, refusing to let go. Liu Sisi tried to pull it several times but couldn’t take it. Di Yelei, who was standing beside her, naturally noticed this and couldn’t help but frown.

“Ahem!”

Elderly Mr. Di, who was sitting in a superior position, coughed twice and knocked the dry pipe on the armrest of his chair.

Ms. Zhao was startled and had to let go of her hand, even glaring at Liu Sisi along the way.

Liu Sisi could only smile helplessly, feeling speechless in her heart.

Did Ms. Zhao really think she was a soft persimmon to squeeze?

It was just because today was a special day, that Liu Sisi swallowed her anger. Clenching the wrinkled red envelope in her hand, judging from its thickness, there seemed to be something like a stone inside.

Could it be a silver ingot? Liu Sisi guessed.

Elderly Mr. Di glanced at everyone, looked at the defensive Third Brother, and then at Liu Sisi standing slightly behind Di Yelei. The faint smile on her face reminded him of various remarks about her.

One could say that gossiping was the favorite pastime of villagers.

At first, the matchmaker bragged a lot about Di family, saying Liu Sisi had a good appearance, skillful hands, and was unparalleled in the world. He should have been more cautious at that time. If there was such a great young maiden, how could she marry into the Di family, especially given the Third Brother’s reputation for being a wife and mother killer?
