Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 84: Chapter 81: A Powerful Hand Strikes!

“What’s going on? Why is it so noisy outside?”

“I don’t know, should we go out and take a look?”

“It’s just some minor family matters. Please wait a while, guests. Sisi will go out and check, both of you can rest assured and take a break.”

As Liu Sisi spoke, she quickly picked up the burden and left the living room.

Outside, Ms. Zhao was shouting and making a fuss.

“What’s all the commotion? Have you all eaten enough? If you have, I’ll take this load back and feed it to the dogs!” Di Yelei shouted angrily.

Even if the porridge is given to the dogs, it’s better than feeding it to you ungrateful wolves who can never be satisfied!

He stood there quietly, seeming calm on his face. But those usually deep eyes were filled with a hidden rage, making it impossible for anyone to figure him out.

His gaze made Ms. Zhao cower, she lowered her head and used the action of scooping porridge to hide her fear. Ms. Wang, who was next to her, stopped provoking too, not daring to say anything. The shrewd Di Gaoyuan didn’t even speak, let alone the others. Even the usually outspoken and troublemaking Di Gao went against his usual nature and silently retreated while holding his bowl.

Only Di Ah-bao stretched out one finger and kept picking through the ferns in his dish.

He pinched a piece of fern and held it in front of Di Yelei: “Is this even edible? This pig feed might not even be eaten by a dog! How dare you serve this to me, the young master who is going to attend private school? You actually give this to me? I… ”

Bang!

“Ah! —”

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow passed by, and his jaw was hit by a punch. His body was suddenly thrown in a parabolic arc and slammed directly under the eaves, accompanied by a shriek.

With his fall, the bucket of coarse grain porridge spilled all over, and the ferns in the bamboo basket were scattered everywhere, affecting everyone nearby. The food was clearly inedible now.

“Ah-Bao! Are you alright?”

Ms. Zhao screamed out and rushed over.

Di Ah-bao struggled for a while before finally getting up from the ground. Wiping his face with his hand, he smeared a handful of blood-red liquid. Scared, he let out a cry and vomited a mouthful of blood and saliva, along with a broken tooth!

“Mom! Whoo… my tooth! Mom, you have to avenge me (avenge me)!”

And so, his mouth swelled up visibly fast, making his speech unclear!

“Ah-Bao? How are you? My poor Ah-Bao! Di Yelei, you cruel monster, how could you do such a thing to your own brother! I’ll fight you to the end!”

As Ms. Zhao spoke, she turned around, ready to attack.

“Shut up! If Di Ah-bao has turned out this way, isn’t it because you’ve spoiled him? And you still have the audacity to confront me!”

Di Yelei roared fiercely!

An emotionless calm expression appeared on his face: “Mom, you’d better pray that my dad lives a long life! That he can protect you and your precious Ah-Bao for a lifetime. If anything were to happen to him… Hmph! Next time, you’ll realize how lucky it was to only lose one tooth!”

His words startled Ms. Zhao, and she stopped in her tracks.

“You…?”

She stared at him, her eyes filled with fear.

Di Yelei suddenly laughed!

With a bloodthirsty grin!

His ten fingers suddenly curled and tightened in the air. In between the bone joints of his fingers, there was a series of crisp sounds from the friction.

“As I said before, Mom, you can choose not to believe me, but bear the consequences yourself!”

A fierce and icy streak flashed across his sharply cold eyes.

“…”

Ms. Zhao opened her mouth, involuntarily taking a step back.

Is this ruthless and fierce person really the same Di Yelei from the past, who would never fight back no matter how much she bullied him?

It’s like he’s become a completely different person!

“You… Who are you?”

Ms. Zhang instinctively asked, retreating two steps unsteadily.

“What do you think?”

A hint of mockery flashed through Di Yelei’s eyes.

It seems that Sisi was right. His endless forbearance in their eyes was clearly a sign of his weakness and cowardice!

But in fact, he just didn’t want to make a fuss and disturb the family’s peace!

However, at the moment Dad is unconscious, and his suppression is no longer present in the old house, and everyone in the family seems to be rebelling! If he didn’t stand up and take charge now, their family would probably fall apart for real.

“Don’t try to provoke me anymore. Taking good care of my father is your responsibility as a wife, and our responsibility as his children.”

Ms. Zhao instinctively took another step back but bumped into Di Ah-bao behind her. The two of them squeezed together, shrinking into a bundle.

At this moment, Liu Sisi walked out of the living room.

The courtyard was a mess, with soup and water spilled all over the ground.

Di Xuan and Di Ying ran to her side as soon as they saw her, clinging to her left and right, “Mom—”

“Xuan’er, Ying’er, be good, don’t cry.”

She glanced at everyone’s expressions and asked softly, “What happened? Ye Lei.”

“It’s alright, Sisi.”

Seeing Liu Sisi, his demeanor suddenly changed, and the whole person immediately warmed up.

The fierce and cruel person from just a moment ago seemed to have had a change of heart, instantly resuming his original appearance of simplicity: “Were the doctors satisfied with their meal?”

Even a blind man could tell that something was wrong from the mess on the ground!

Di Yelei didn’t say anything, and Liu Sisi naturally wouldn’t ask: “The old gentleman was very satisfied with the meal. Now the children are still eating. You go ahead, I will bring my father-in-law’s cooked dishes inside.”

While speaking, she took a tightly wrapped stewing pot from the carry basket, turned around and headed for the wing room.

A stewing pot is a round-shaped ceramic container used for stewing and cooking.

Liu Sisi remembered seeing this container in the corner when she was cooking at noon. Since time was running out, she decided to use it.

The stewing pot is small at the top and large at the bottom. When cooking, it can be placed in the stove, cooking rice while using the heat to stew a small amount of food. Due to the special structure of the stewing pot, it is far superior to clay pots for cooking things like bacon, saving time and firewood.

Liu Sisi chopped up some meat, mixed it with soybeans and rice, added clear water, and cooked a bowl of meat porridge for her father-in-law.

The meat porridge is delicious, nutritious, easy to swallow, and easy to digest, making it the most suitable food for patients like her father-in-law.

“Sisi, wait, let me take it in. If Dad needs anything, it’s more convenient for me as his son. You take the two children home first.”

Di Yelei called out to Liu Sisi and glanced back at everyone. Their eyes darted away, not daring to meet his.

“I wonder if mother has had enough to eat? If she has, Ye Lei will take the leftover food back.”

All the food is scattered on the ground, what’s left to eat! Isn’t this a deliberate provocation? Ms. Zhang’s face turned pale, but she did not dare to respond.

“Sisi, you should go back quickly. You haven’t eaten yet, and you can change the children’s clothes when you get back.” Earlier, when the coarse porridge was spilled, the two children standing nearby were also somewhat affected.

Liu Sisi’s expression darkened, and she cast a discreet glance at everyone: “Alright.”
