Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Troubles Arise During Zhongyuan Festival (Part I)
Miao Cuihua couldn’t hold back her tears and couldn’t speak anymore!
“Before, Shou Hou always complained that Little Chubby was too fat, and we argued a lot because of that. Now I’m just doing it for his own good, making him lose weight with …”
“This…”
Liu Sisi really didn’t know what to say.
“Don’t worry! I give him three bowls of rice every day, he won’t starve.” Miao Cuihua said.
“Nonsense! She gives only three bowls of rice a day. I’m so hungry that I can only drink water to fill my stomach. How could there be such a cruel mother in the world who wants to starve her own son to death? Waa…I don’t want to live anymore, you might as well starve to death directly. Wuu wuu…”
Little Chubby rolled onto the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
Seeing this, Liu Sisi anxiously went forward to pull him up: “Hurry up! It’s dirty on the ground!”
She tried several tis, but she couldn’t pull him up, as he was too heavy!
“No! If I don’t get so at today, I won’t get up!” Little Chubby kicked on the ground, refusing to get up.
Miao Cuihua was determined!
She stepped forward, grabbed Little Chubby with one hand and hoisted him up in the air. She walked a few steps and threw him out of the back door.
“You have no say in this! Think about your dad, he dislikes your fat body the most. Do you really want your dad to co back, huh?”
“Yes…I do.” Little Chubby whimpered.
“Since you want him to co back, you need to lose weight. Your dad doesn’t like your fat body…”
Miao Cuihua’s scolding continued, making Liu Sisi sigh.
It seems Miao Cuihua hasn’t given up on Shou Hou!
It’s hard to understand what’s so good about Shou Hou.
He has abandoned his wife and child to elope with another woman but still makes Miao Cuihua wait for him. Does he have so charm she can’t see?
Sighing, Liu Sisi did a final check of the bookstore’s accounts, took the account book, and left this depressing place.
Is Miao Cuihua really so in love with Shou Hou? A love so deep that she has no regrets?
Liu Sisi got on the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at Miao Cuihua settling the accounts, sighing constantly.
At the sa ti, she felt pity for her. It’s a waste for such a big woman not to find a good husband to accompany her for a lifeti.
“Let’s go back ho.”
She put down the curtain and found a comfortable position to lean on.
Closing her eyes, she knew she could never do what Miao Cuihua did: waiting without regret for a man who has changed his heart!
Because, she’s always expected love to be equal.
If the love is gone, Liu Sisi would turn around and leave imdiately, with no hesitation or delay.
If in love, then deeply in love!
Firmly grasp the happiness in front of her and never let go!
Opening her eyes again, she took a deep breath and lifted the curtain again.
At the mont, the carriage had already left the small town and was now traveling on the boulevard under the cherry blossom trees at the town’s intersection.
Now on the cherry blossom trees, there were no blossoms and cherries. Instead, ripe peaches and plums hung far away on the branches. At a glance, the pink ones were peaches, and the golden ones were plums. There were also unripe clusters of mountain grapes crawling on the slope, hidden under the dense grape leaves. Only when the breeze blew could the green mountain grapes hidden in the grape leaves be seen.
Recalling the evening walk with Ye Lei among the cherry blossoms, his tenderness, his persistence, his affection, his lingering… Liu Sisi’s lips wore a sowhat sweet smile.
Everyone has their own way of living, so let’s focus on our daily lives first!
When she got ho, she arranged various account books together and carefully searched for the problem. Where exactly was the issue?
Ms. Gao, holding the youngest of the triplets, ca over: “Madam, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even if the kids take three baths a day, they are still covered in prickly heat. What can we do about this?”
“What else can we do? The countryside is cooler, but at present, the children are still too young. Going to the countryside to escape the heat is not very practical.”
Liu Sisi put down the brush-pen, also feeling agitated by the sweltering weather: “The children are in the Waterside Pavilion, which is the coolest place in this official residence. This official residence was built not long ago, and there were no ice cubes stored in the cellar. So even if we wanted to use ice cubes to cool down, we can’t afford it.”
Outsiders believed Di Yelei, as a captain, had a steady inco every month.
Indeed, Di Yelei earned 20 taels of silver every month, plus an official salary of five to three Stone of rice. In addition to the regular salary, there were various subsidies, such as tea, wine, cooking supplies, firewood, silver charcoal, table salt, and even horse fodder, which were quite substantial in quantity.
But in reality, these items and salaries were only issued once a year! Di Yelei’s salary and other converted money could only be received before the Lunar New Year, which was really frustrating!
Therefore, all the expenses of the manor ca from the inco of the shop managed by Liu Sisi. Often running short of money, but no one to complain to.
It seed that a suitable ti should be found to open a few more shops.
Liu Sisi secretly calculated.
Ms. Gao was also helpless, as ice cubes were indeed hard to obtain.
Liu Sisi pondered for a mont and suggested: “Why not do this, have the little maids go back and fill wooden basins of various sizes with clear water and place them around the house. Also, put a few more basins of water inside the house, and it should be cooler.”
“Yes, I will order soone to do it right away.”
Ms. Gao hurriedly left with the child.
Since the official residence was newly built, there were no ice cubes stored in the cellar. It seed that by the end of the year, she would have to store more ice cubes as soon as possible.
After dinner, Liu Sisi was about to get up as usual but was stopped by Elderly Mr. Di.
“Sisi, wait a mont, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
Elderly Mr. Di also called out to Di Yelei: “And Third Son, you co over too.” After finishing, he went into his own room.
Liu Sisi and Di Yelei saw astonishnt in each other’s eyes. What was the matter that he was talking to the two of them at this mont? However, both of them did not speak and went into Elderly Mr. Di’s yard together with Ye Lei.
“Dad, do you have anything to discuss with us?”
“Sit down, let’s sit down and talk!”
Elderly Mr. Di sat on the chair and looked at the two with a sowhat helpless smile: “The words your mother said that day were not her true feelings, so Sisi, you must not take them to heart.”
“Dad, rest assured, Sisi has never taken it to heart.”
Liu Sisi hurriedly replied, whether it was her true feelings or not, she could naturally distinguish. She always kept a small notebook to record, and every account was kept clearly, never to be forgotten.
“It’s good that you don’t rember it!”
Elderly Mr. Di nodded repeatedly, with a face full of wrinkles as he smiled.
