Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 502: Besieged on All Sides (Part 11)
Liu Sisi looked towards the busy crowd in the distance, and then casually pulled down the carriage curtain, instructing Old Cheng.

“Let’s go! Let’s go back.”

Di Cheng hurriedly jumped on the top of the carriage shaft: “Third Aunt, are we going back like this? Aren’t we going to look for Third Uncle?”

“No need to look, let’s go!”

“Alright!”

Old Cheng flicked the reins, the horse whip raised high, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Liu Sisi took out a handkerchief, bent down to wrap the round object she had picked up earlier, and then looked closely at it.

This weirdly shaped, jade-like but not jade, round object seemed like two intertwined four-legged snakes or bizarre winged snakes, or even like lizards devouring each other.

Its color was green with a hint of blood-red. In particular, the blood-red eyeballs seemed alive, constantly moving and changing colors as she held the jade object in her hand.

“Old Cheng, don’t go straight home, drive the carriage to the carriage shop.”

“Yes, Madam.” Old Cheng naturally had no objection.

Such a precious object is not something ordinary people can wear.

Liu Sisi hung her arm down and carefully wrapped the object in the handkerchief. The person who could wear such a luxurious object must have an extraordinary identity!

Soon they arrived at the carriage shop, and Liu Sisi had to go through a lot of trouble to find Old Six.

Old Six was busy, sweating: “So it’s Madam who’s looking for me, is there anything important you want to tell me?” Old Six hastily bowed with a fist greeting.

Liu Sisi casually glanced at the chaotic scene in the center of the shop.

“Old Six, what’s going on here?”

“Madam, you probably don’t know yet? There’s been a murder case at the narrow pass, and my carriage can’t pass through, so all the goods are gathered here. Ordinary items are fine, but some items that can’t be stored for long must be sent away as soon as possible, so…”

Old Six chuckled awkwardly.

Liu Sisi nodded, understanding that he was a businessman and it was only natural for him to be anxious.

“Old Six, are you familiar with Nan Tianzong? Can you contact him? I have something I want to find him for.”

“Boss Nan? You are his sibling, Madam, if you can’t find him, what qualifications do I have to find him!” Old Six said with a smile on his face.

“Is it? But I thought you two had a good relationship?”

Liu Sisi looked surprised.

Old Six laughed hehehe: “Madam, you’re overthinking it. In our line of work, we have a good relationship with every customer and can chat with each other. Boss Nan has purchased so many goods from Old Six over the years; if we’re not familiar, I’m afraid no one would believe it!”

“I see! It seems I was too careless.”

Liu Sisi chuckled lightly: “In that case, Sisi will take her leave first.”

“No problem, Madam, take care!”

Old Six bowed his head and saw Liu Sisi off, until she left the carriage shop, and then he turned around and went back inside.

As soon as he entered the room, the smile on his face disappeared. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a seemingly ordinary cleaner: “Quick! Report this matter to the Young Master immediately!”

“Yes!”

The man threw the broom in his hand and quickly ran towards the back, disappearing into the distance.

Liu Sisi left the Carriage Store, looked back at the still bustling Carriage Shop, and stepped onto the carriage.

“Let’s go! Go back.”

She didn’t believe a word Old Six said.

Di Cheng, who was beside her, also leaned over and whispered at the edge of the carriage curtain: “Third Aunt, what Old Six just said is false. He and Boss Nan are very familiar with each other, it’s not just a normal customer relationship like he said.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll handle this matter myself. You just help manage the bookstore.”

Liu Sisi lightly tapped her forehead, feeling a throbbing pain, this kind of wanting to exert strength but not finding where to use it feeling, made her even more irritated at the bottom of her heart.

In her previous life, she lived too simply, and in this life, she mostly lived under Di Yelei’s wing.

At present, she was worried about the situation but didn’t know where to start.

“By the way, Di Cheng, how has Shou Hou been lately? Is he still acting so unruly every day?” She remembered another matter.

Di Cheng was sitting in front of the carriage talking with Old Cheng when he heard her and hurriedly turned back.

“Isn’t it? After sister-in-law Cuihua went back last time, she quarreled with him. Now, he doesn’t come to the bookstore anymore. Some people saw him hanging out with that woman all day long and apparently haven’t gone back to Upper Village.”

“He really gave up on Cuihua.”

Liu Sisi sighed, men indeed are lecherous! Even someone like Shou Hou is actually having an affair, and it’s simply unbelievable!

“What was Cuihua’s reaction?”

“Hey! What kind of reaction could she have?”

Di Cheng got excited when talking about the matter: “She came to the bookstore three times, and I told her that Shou Hou hadn’t been there for a long time. She cried and blamed you for letting Shou Hou come to the bookstore, and that’s when he learned to be bad. She also said a lot of bad things about you.”

“Really! So this happened?”

It seemed that initially, she begged herself to let Shou Hou in the bookstore. After paying wages, he was even grateful, but now he’s blaming her?

Indeed, it’s hard to be a good person these days!

Liu Sisi lamented to herself!

“Isn’t it? That day, people nearby couldn’t bear it and came out to scold her. You don’t know, she cried and wailed in front of the shop for a long time. When I reasoned with her, saying this matter shouldn’t be blamed on you, we didn’t do a single deal for the entire morning.”

Di Cheng also felt angry when talking about it!

“At the beginning, when Shou Hou came, several shopkeepers around saw how she was flattering you. Now with her attitude like this, all the shopkeepers scolded her. It took a lot of effort to finally curse her away.”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “If she comes again, you don’t need to scold her, just take her directly to where Shou Hou lives.”

“How couldn’t I have taken her there? I’ve taken her there a long time ago, but Shou Hou moved out with that woman. They moved twice, and this last time I don’t know where they moved to.”

“Then you don’t need to deal with her, let her be.”

Liu Sisi pressed her temples hard: “By the way, Di Cheng, how is the wedding your mother is preparing for you? Has anyone been sent to the small town to propose marriage?”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Di Cheng’s face immediately turned red.

“Third Aunt… my, my mother, she has started looking for a house for me in the town. Cheng’er doesn’t know how the progress is going. So… ”

Di Cheng’s words became quieter and quieter, embarrassed with a red face.

“Why are you embarrassed? This is a major event in life. Once you’re married, you’ll be a man who has to support a family. If you dare to be like Shou Hou and have a wandering heart, Third Aunt won’t let you off easily!” Liu Sisi said jokingly. But the seriousness in her words couldn’t be faked.
