As for this outco, she didn’t find it strange.
In a place where Ms.Zhao is, no matter where it is, it would be unusual if sothing didn’t happen, violating her reputation as a troublemaker in the Wang family.
“Right, right, right, Di Cheng, is Dad awake?”
Di Yelei slapped his forehead, inwardly annoyed, he was so anxious that he forgot to ask such an important question.
“Grandfather has already woken up. He said he was going to call a doctor earlier, but grandfather refused and insisted on letting you co back.”
Elderly Mr. Di now only trusts Di Yelei out of all people!
Thinking of his recovery from a serious illness, with his hands and feet not agile enough, he still insisted on going to the county to hear Ye Lei’s trial, indicating that he really has taken Ye Lei seriously now.
Liu Sisi was thinking about it secretly.
“It’s good that he’s awake…”
Di Yelei’s voice was low, the three people didn’t speak anymore, and they quickly jogged towards the old house.
When they arrived outside the door of the old house, they could hear the sounds of arguing coming from inside.
“Dad! -”
Di Yelei hurriedly took a few big steps, quickly shook off the two behind him, and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.
Imdiately, a series of noisy and jumbled sounds ca from inside, with various voices mixing together.
Liu Sisi’s pace was slower, and she was left behind by Di Cheng.
By the ti she stepped into the courtyard, it was a ss.
Di Ah-bao wailed and scread, being firmly pinned under the eaves by Di Yelei, covered in mud and with a face black and blue. Beside him was a green stone slab that had been broken in half.
Ms. Zhao did not stop Di Ah-bao this ti but instead sat on the muddy ground next to him, yelled, and cried out in suicidal grief.
“…Oh, heavens! How could you be so blind – who am I going to rely on for the rest of my life! Oh, heavens!”
Her wailing was different from her usual dry cries; it contained genuine sorrow and sadness, which surprised Liu Sisi quite a bit.
“What the hell happened? Can you explain it?”
Di Yelei asked angrily.
Facing the violent Di Yelei, Di Ah-bao dared not resist. He covered the bruise on his left cheek with pain on his face: “It-it was Dad who objected… Little Cui’er’s background is… too low…”
Di Yelei raised an eyebrow, and his forearm against Di Ah-bao’s neck was about to push down!
“What do you an by low birth? We’re poor families, are we expecting to find an official’s daughter or a princess from within the palace? Dad must be objecting for sothing else. What is it? Tell the truth!”
“Cough, cough, cough… Don’t, don’t hit ! I’ll tell, I’ll tell, alright?”
Di Ah-bao sobbed and tried to pry away Di Yelei’s forearm. This cry was much louder than Ms. Wang’s wailing.
It made everyone unable to resist stealthily dodging to the side.
However, his strength was nothing in front of Di Yelei, and the iron arm against his neck remained unmoved.
“Hurry up and speak!”
Di Yelei acted as if he was going to hit!
“It was because Little Cui’s background is not good! She was the top-tier girl at Yihong Courtyard. The imperial nanny asked for 50 taels of silver before she would release her!”
Di Ah-bao hastily pleaded and spoke loudly.
“…”
Liu Sisi was speechless. My god! She’s actually the top-tier girl of Yihong Courtyard!
Poor families generally instinctively avoid marrying prostitutes as daughters-in-law, thinking that such won have wild hearts and bad reputations. If they really marry into the family, it will also be difficult for the other family mbers to marry.
“This is really an increase in skill! If you want to marry that prostitute, you should remove the Di surna. Our ho’s Brother Gao, Cheng’er, and several younger ones have yet to marry! They can’t be affected by this!”
Ms. Wang refused to compromise, her voice shrill.
“How do you know the girls of Yihong Courtyard? When did you agree on the price and talk about it?”
“The day before yesterday… the day before yesterday, Mom gave 20 taels of silver to deposit in the bank. When I passed by Yihong Courtyard, I saw Little Cui and couldn’t help but walk in…”
Di Ah-bao was hesitant, his face bitter and afraid to not tell the truth: “Then, Cui’er agreed to marry , but she asked for a price of 50 taels of silver…”
He looked around, trying to find soone who could save him.
“I’m asking you, where is the 20 taels of silver you brought?”
“I… ”
“Did you use it all on Cui’er?”
“Don’t hit ! Don’t hit.. Don’t hit my face!”
He begged loudly but could not withstand Di Yelei’s frequent punches. Di Yelei repeatedly punched him a few tis and still angrily kicked him twice.
“You beast, say it honestly! How much silver did you really spend on her? Say it!”
Di Yelei had no intention of letting him go: “Say it! What about Dad’s coffin savings that he just ntioned? What’s going on?”
Liu Sisi was startled: “What do you an by coffin savings? What do you an, Ye Lei?”
“Hehe! What else could it an? It’s just the literal aning.”
Ms. Wang, who loved to stir up trouble, shouted: “This prodigal son actually stole the 80 taels of silver saved by his father when he wasn’t at ho. Not only that, but he also secretly sold everything valuable at ho. Even the 20 taels of silver that his mother painstakingly saved to marry off her sons were also taken by him and spent on this so-called Little Cui.”
“He still has the nerve to ask for 30 taels for redemption! When I first got married, my family only paid 2 taels of silver in betrothal gifts, and my mother has been gossiping about it for years. It’s really different when it cos to biological children, who even dare to steal their dad’s saved coffin money! If the three brothers split it equally, each person could have gotten 30 taels of silver…”
Ms. Wang’s incessant yelling made everyone’s head ache.
“I love Little Cui! I want Little Cui to be my daughter-in-law! I’m not getting any younger, I want to marry Little Cui, so why can’t I?” Di Ah-bao saw no wrong in what he did.
“You still dare to speak!”
Di Yelei’s veins throbbed on his face, and he couldn’t help but rush forward to beat Di Ah-bao again.
Mrs. Zhao, who usually called Di Ah-bao her little treasure, sat like a madwoman under the flower stand at the mont, staring blankly at a spot in the air, her mouth sobbing ceaselessly, and her face sared with tears.
“It’s all gone, all gone… it’s all gone, there’s nothing left, it’s over…”
She kept repeating these few sentences, unable to say anything else.
Liu Sisi was also secretly shocked.
Spending 150 taels of silver on a prostitute… Di Ah-bao was really capable!
She rembered that when Di Yelei married her as a new wife, he only spent 10 taels of silver!
For those 10 taels of silver, Ms. Wang and Ms. Zhao caused a lot of trouble for her.
Now that Di Ah-bao wants to spend so much silver – most importantly, this is a huge sum that cannot be taken out!
