Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 148 - 148: 146: Sweet Little Life, The Hateful Big Mouth Li

Her eyes widened, trying to escape the awkward situation in front of her. The difference in physical strength between men and women had long determined who would lose in this struggle. Her strength in front of him was like an ant trying to shake a tree – where was the slightest chance of success?

By the time Di Yelei finally released her panting self, her originally fair cheeks had turned a deep red. She was furious!

Just like the peony flowers after a summer rain, they were delicate and charming!

“Come on, Sisi, be good. Do you want to eat it yourself, or do you want me to feed you?”

His face was filled with the usual doting smile, and as he spoke, he seemed to be savoring the moment.

Liu Sisi was furious and annoyed as she desperately grabbed a pillow and threw it at him with all her might.

“You bastard, get out of here!”

However, the pillow representing her hope had just flown out when Di Yelei accurately caught it in his hand, helping her up again and placing it behind her back. There was not the slightest hint of compromise in his persistent gaze.

Left with no choice, Liu Sisi had to admit defeat.

“I can eat it! But we have to share it equally. Don’t think only I will have to eat this nasty thing!”

Liu Sisi negotiated with him. Since he insisted on her eating, they might as well share the misery. If she had to eat, then he had to eat as well.

“Alright, let’s have half each. Come on, you’ll eat first. Look at you…”

Di Yelei was also quite helpless. Today, Sisi was especially spoiled, but his heart became even happier.

The little woman in front of him truly belonged to him, Di Yelei.

Feeling unwell, Liu Sisi stayed home and rested for two days without going out.

During the day, when she had nothing to do, Liu Sisi took out the unfinished shoes and hurriedly worked on them. These were shoes for Xuan’er and YingEr. They had been taking a long time to make and were only now completed.

The next day, Guihua visited her and saw Liu Sisi’s appearance. With a clear understanding of what had happened, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Liu Sisi, on behalf of Sister Guihua, was almost burying her head in the quilt, and she wouldn’t stick her head out again, acting like a shrinking turtle.

Guihua quickly pulled her out of the quilt, leaned into her ear, and carefully and meticulously told her many little things to pay attention to in married life.

“I see that you took a long time to get married before becoming intimate. No one from your family has come to visit you, so I’m afraid you don’t know these things. That’s why I can’t help but tell you this to prevent you from accidentally getting a woman’s illness.”

Guihua spoke with heartfelt concern.

Liu Sisi quickly shook her head: “Sister Guihua, what are you talking about? No one has ever told me these things, and I’m grateful for your kindness, so I wouldn’t blame you.”

Oddly enough, Liu Sisi’s knowledge came from her previous life’s thriving online world. But with her parents deceased and no boyfriend, she had no idea about the little tips and tricks of married life.

Her words of gratitude were genuine, without any pretense.

Guihua was also delighted: “As long as you’re not angry. Once you’ve recovered, you’d better focus on having a child as soon as possible. After a woman gets married, everything else is empty; only having a child of your own can give you something to rely on.”

Liu Sisi struggled to respond, having just been talking about their physical condition, andGuihua had suddenly turned the conversation to children.

They had just shared a room for the first time!

“In our area, when a married woman gives birth, her mother usually helps her with her confinement. No one from your mother’s side has come to visit you, and your mother-in-law isn’t your real mother. I’m sure you’ll have a hard time with her in the future…” Guihua sighed empathetically.

Having Ms. Zhao help with confinement?

Just thinking about it, Liu Sisi couldn’t believe it.

As for the children…

Without Sister Guihua mentioning it, she had completely forgotten that there were no birth control measures here. If she really got pregnant…

They say childbirth for a woman is like stepping into a coffin, taking a walk by the hell gate. This body is not even sixteen years old, and if she were to get pregnant, the chance of a difficult delivery would probably be quite high, right?

Thinking about all this, she couldn’t help but worry, and her expression dimmed a little.

Guihua didn’t notice the change in Liu Sisi’s expression and kept talking to herself.

“Oh, right! Old Man Li has also come back from the county, and the three taels silver he brought back were robbed by the bandits from Heilong Mountain on his way back. Now, as soon as he comes back, he starts badmouthing you everywhere. You haven’t heard it, but this rotten old man’s mouth is wide open, and he deserves to lose his descendants…”

Big Mouth Li was Old Man Li’s only son, and he had been widowed for years as well. Now that his only son is also dead, his curse of losing his descendants really came true.

“Sister Guihua, what exactly did he say?” Liu Sisi couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Guihua hesitated for a long time without getting to the point: “I don’t want to say it. There are all kinds of nasty things he said. I can’t even repeat those words.”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but hold her hand: “Please, sister, just tell me. Otherwise, when I go out, people will point fingers and whisper, and I won’t even know what’s going on.”

Guihua thought about it and sighed at once.

“What else can he say? He said you bribed Midwife Xu with money and pointed out that you, a married woman of three months, are still untouched, implying that you are actually a false claim. He also said that in his time, Big Mouth Li had already done the deed with you… Hey! He even spoke with evidence, specifying the date…”

Liu Sisi was furious and laughed!

She didn’t even know Big Mouth Li, right?

If it wasn’t for Di Yelei mentioning in the courtroom that Big Mouth Li stole the silver, she wouldn’t even know who the man that tried to assault her was.

Thinking of the thief she had beaten half-dead back then… could he actually have the audacity to say that they had something going on?

Ha!

It was simply a huge joke!

“A date? I’ve never even seen Big Mouth Li! Is Old Man Li insane? Why does he insist on dragging people down? Furthermore, Granny Xu is the one who does physical examinations for the ladies in the palace and serves as a midwife for rich families. Is she someone he can slander?”

Back then, Di Yelei took pity on him and even gave him two taels of silver. It’s just like feeding a dog!

No, that’s wrong! At least dogs wag their tails at their owners.

Feeding silver to a beast who’s worse than an animal like him just ends up with them trying to bite people. It’s really hateful and annoying!

Guihua sympathized as well: “Old Man Li even said it very convincingly. He even said that on that day, you deliberately invited Big Mouth Li into the courtyard, and at the end, because you were satisfied with his skills, you even gave him five taels of silver as a gift. But then, you turned around and accused him of stealing…”

“What? I gave him anything? This damned Old Man Li is reversing black and white, does he have any shame?”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh out loud from anger!
