8 Chapter 6: Harmony and Happiness

Translator: 549690339

The delicate voice of a little girl accompanied by the tears on her face immediately attracted everyone’s attention in the direction she pointed.

As expected, on Di Ying’s arm where she pointed, there were visible tearing marks on the sleeve. It was just that Liu Sisi had been hugging her arm tightly the whole time, so no one had noticed!

“Enough! I believe the situation is clear now,”

Land Officer clearly understood both sides and made his final judgment: “Ms. Wang, you have repeatedly taken things from others, from someone’s turnip to another’s green pepper. Not only are you never serious, today you even tried to steal the wild boar meat. This is your fault. Of course, there’s also… Ye Lei, you shouldn’t have hit your Second Sister-in-law.”

Land Officer didn’t side with either, sentenced each to five beatings on their boards, then said to Ms. Wang with an iron-for-steel expression: “Ms. Wang, initially, when Ye Lei owed your family twenty taels of silver, you’ve made a fuss countless times now. Ye Lei is not a debtor, so as his sister-in-law, why do you have to put him down in front of the bride? You… sigh!”

“Mr. Land Officer, I… this, I…”

Ms. Wang stammered for quite a while without giving a clear reason. Just like Land Officer said, everyone around was their fellow villagers; who wouldn’t know her true nature?

Land Officer looked back at Liu Sisi before turning and walking out of the courtyard.

Land Officer, I have something to say,” Liu Sisi suddenly called out to him. She hadn’t said anything before, was it because she was too easygoing?

“What else do you have to say?” Mr. Land Officer looked unhappy, did these people never end?

Mr. Land Officer, as you can see, if Second Sister-in-law continues to harass us like today every two or three days, it will not be a long-term solution. Sisi has no other requests, just wants Second Sister-in-law to make a statement in front of everyone, so as to ease the children’s minds.”

Liu Sisi’s eyes were red and wet, but her tears never fell.

The onlookers nodded in agreement; they really needed to be on guard against such a sister-in-law!

Land Officer also agreed, turned back to Ms. Wang and ordered: “Ms. Wang, did you hear clearly what your Third Sister-in-law said? If there’s a next time, I won’t care about right or wrong, I will give you ten beatings first!”

Ms. Wang was used to being rash, but she dared not disobey Land Officer’s words, so she bitterly promised Liu Sisi.

Secretly, her hatred for Liu Sisi grew even deeper.

“Third Sister-in-law, don’t worry! It was me who was possessed by a ghost, next time I won’t dare! You rest assured, with Mr. Land Officer as my witness, I won’t act recklessly.”

Only after the Land Officer and the onlookers left did Liu Sisi release the two children she had been holding in her arms the whole time.

“Did any of you get hurt? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?”

At that moment, Di Xuan’s face seemed much better, and he no longer resisted Liu Sisi’s touch. Instead, it was Di Ying next to them who tugged on Sisi’s clothes and refused to let go.

“Mom… ”

The soft, milky voice struck Liu Sisi’s heartstrings.

“Ah, Mom is here!”

Wiping the tears off YingEr’s little face and gently pinching her nose, Liu Sisi had a tender expression on her face: “If any of you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell… Mom, okay?”

She could hardly call herself ‘Mom,’ but she was glad she had taken this step.
