Di Yelei’s hands kept planting, and it was clear that he was very skilled at farming.
“What are you talking nonsense about? I’ve told you, since the silver has been given to you, you’re free to do whatever you like with it, you–”
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Sisi had already dashed into the room like a whirlwind.
What’s going on?
Di Yelei quickly inserted the last two water spinach plants and hurried in after washing his hands.
In the room, Liu Sisi sat dully by the bamboo bed, motionless.
“Sisi, what’s wrong? Sisi.”
Seeing Sisi like this, Di Yelei felt a pain in his heart and hurriedly embraced her, softly calling her na.
His gentle coaxing made Liu Sisi’s heart ache, and pointing at the dug-up hole, tears instantly stread down her cheeks.
“Ye Lei, the silver— it’s gone!”
This silver was ant to repay the debt, and a thief had stolen it. Liu Sisi naturally understood it must have been lost last night.
A deep sense of defeat struck Liu Sisi’s heart. Even if she didn’t want to cry, she really didn’t want to cry!
But her tears were completely uncontrollable, rolling down her cheeks in a torrent, unable to be stopped no matter what.
The silver is gone!
Di Yelei’s head buzzed as if struck by lightning. His mind went blank.
Sisi’s wailing made Di Yelei’s heart ache. He clumsily patted her back and said, “Don’t cry, Sisi, don’t cry. As long as we are still here, we can earn the silver back. I’ll go up to the mountain and sell more ga, and the silver will co back. Don’t cry, Sisi… ”
If Di Yelei hadn’t comforted her and instead scolded her harshly, she might have felt better.
But he was clearly in so much pain, yet he was comforting her like this. It made her guilt even more unbearable, and she couldn’t help but bury herself in his arms and cry even harder.
“Sisi, don’t be sad. A few days ago, I heard Li Wu said he had several wolf-dog puppies in his ho, thinking of giving them away. I’ll go get one to watch our house, so the courtyard won’t feel so empty. Don’t cry, Sisi, don’t cry… ”
With a thick nasal voice, Liu Sisi shook her head vigorously and said, “No, not one, two!”
“All right, we’ll get two. Li Wu’s German Shepherds are not only good for guarding the house, but they’re also great hunting assistants. Moreover, they don’t bark indiscriminately, so they’re very reliable.”
Di Yelei continued to comfort her for a long ti before Liu Sisi finally snapped out of her remorse.
No matter who this thief was who stole the silver, she would definitely find him and make him pay double what he took!
Di Yelei was also holding back a fire in his heart! Did this thief want to eradicate them completely?
Well! He would like to see who would ultimately destroy whom!
“By the way! I just rembered sothing.”
Liu Sisi finally struggled free from Di Yelei’s arms, and looked at him with her big eyes like startled deer: “Ye Lei, I beat that thief up when he broke into the bathing room, and with the last hit, I struck his…that area. Furthermore, since the thief ca in the middle of the night, it ans he must live near our house. So, I think if we check the nearby clinics and see if there’s anyone who’s injured all over, we’ll definitely know who it is.”
Liu Sisi’s words struck Di Yelei like a revelation, a glimr of hope blooming in his heart.
He thought for a while before saying, “There is a clinic in the nearby Upper Village, and if anyone gets sick, they usually go to Zhang Peng for help. Since he often goes into the mountains, he also brings back dicinal herbs for sprains, bruises, and minor ailnts to keep at ho. Those who seek dical help from Zhang Peng know that he’s just a makeshift doctor. For small ailnts, it’s fine, but for major illnesses, they usually go to the town. This afternoon, I went to Zhang Peng’s house and made so indirect inquiries. No one ca to see him for dical help from yesterday till today. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the clinic in town tomorrow and see what the result is.”
Liu Sisi thought about it and it made sense, even though she was heartbroken about the lost silver. There was no better solution at the mont and so she obediently nodded: “Alright, and while you’re at it, go to Second Brother Li’s house and bring the little dog back.”
When it was ti to cook dinner in the evening, Di Yelei unexpectedly found that the piece of at hanging under the kitchen chimney was gone!
Not only that but even the leftover at soup from lunch was gone too!
Without needing anyone to say, Di Yelei knew who had done it.
How unlucky, like a leaking roof during the rainy night!
Of course, Liu Sisi had also noticed that the at was gone. Her face imdiately turned pale with anger: “They must have taken advantage of my absence this afternoon when I was out gathering wild vegetables. They really… they really went too far!”
“Don’t worry! This kind of situation has happened more than once or twice already, and it’s not suitable for you, a new bride, to confront them. Just leave it to to handle. You make the al first and I’ll be right back!”
Di Yelei said and dashed out of the courtyard like a whirlwind, leaving Liu Sisi unable to stop him in ti.
Uh-oh!
Ye Lei must have gone to the old house. Could he, a man, bring the at back?
She wanted to go to the main house herself but thought about Di Yelei’s words just now and gave up on the idea. Liu Sisi felt as if she had fifteen buckets in her heart, swaying back and forth with uncertainty.
The few monts she waited felt as long as several years.
The two children were sent back by Zhang Yun, and Liu Sisi tried to muster her spirits and greeted him. Luckily, Zhang Yun was in a hurry to go ho for dinner and didn’t stay long.
Sisi crushed the coarse grains and made so stead cornbread. With the earned silver gone, she needed to be very careful and find a way to recover the lost money as soon as possible.
When Di Yelei ca back with a piece of at, the cornbread in Liu Sisi’s pot was already cooked.
From outside, angry scolding and shouting could still be heard faintly.
“Here, cook this at tonight. After I catch the little wolf-dog in a few days, I’ll go hunting in the mountains again.”
At this mont, his clothes were disheveled and full of creases, and even his face and exposed hands had scratches. Although he didn’t say so, Liu Sisi could tell at a glance how much effort it took for him to retrieve the at from the old house.
She silently took the at, drew so clear water, and carefully and gently cleaned Di Yelei’s wounds. The person who had hurt him didn’t show any rcy, especially the three long scratches on his face, which welled up with pus, causing Liu Sisi’s heart to ache.
Di Yelei held Liu Sisi’s hand and the two exchanged silent glances.
His deep black eyes mirrored Sisi’s tearful ones, which refused to roll down her cheeks. He smiled faintly.
He reached out to pinch her cheek, watching it turn red under his caress and laughed. Their hearts were ward by each other’s unspoken understanding and compassion, all words unnecessary.
