Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Not being manly!

“Let go of me! I want to go in and see Little Cui! Little Cui, Little Cui, answer me! Little Cui…”

He shouted loudly, startling Di Xuan who was sleeping in the outer room.

Di Xuan’s neck injury was severe, Xin Quan had almost broken his neckbones, so Old He had asked him to stay temporarily in the outer room to recuperate.

“Shut up! Do you want Little Cui to live or not?”

Liu Sisi scolded him fiercely: “You’re a grown man, can’t you stay calm? Must you make everyone panic and disturb the patient?”

“I don’t care, I just want my Little Cui to be safe and sound! Don’t think I don’t know, Little Cui ended up in there because of you!”

Ah-Bao cursed loudly and tried to rush towards Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi was unusually silent.

Ah-Bao was right! It was her fault that Little Cui was hurt.

If she hadn’t impulsively rushed to save Di Xuan, Xin Quan wouldn’t have thrown her out. If she hadn’t been thrown out, Little Cui wouldn’t have had to sacrifice herself to save her, let alone fight with the governmental office’s runners. And it wouldn’t have escalated to such a serious situation!

As Di Ah-Bao continued to scold fiercely, he not only splashed water and stomped but also disrespected Liu Sisi’s ancestors for multiple generations.

Fortunately, Da Niu and Er Niu each held one of his arms to stop him from rushing over.

But his verbal abuse became even more vicious!

Taking favor from others made her feel indebted, especially when she owed such a great debt involving two lives. Liu Sisi humbled herself by keeping her head down, letting him continue cursing.

Di Ah-Bao didn’t stop but became even more aggressive, kicking and struggling to break free. If not for Da Niu and Er Niu holding him back, he would have already pounced on Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi tried to bear with it, but finally, she couldn’t take it anymore!

“Little brother, watch your language. There’s a saying ‘When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog’. Since I, Liu Sisi, married into Di Family, aren’t your ancestors also mine? If you continue to scold like this, outsiders may think you’re unhappy with our ancestors.”

These words from Liu Sisi infuriated Di Ah-Bao even more!

“Liu Sisi! You’re just a new wife, stop acting so high and mighty! You’re being too arrogant…”

She hadn’t been acting high and mighty, had she?

“And don’t even think about trying to control Di Family! We have both old and young in our home, and it’ll never be your turn to be the head! You think just because you’re a little clever, you can look down on everyone else…”

She didn’t want to be the head of Di Family either; it was too much responsibility. She already had enough on her plate, and fewer issues would be better for her.

And she was dumb, not clever, all right?

If she were clever, would she let him scold her like this?

“If Little Cui is fine, then everything will be fine. But if anything happens to her… Humph!”

If something did happen to Little Cui, her conscience would be tormented for a lifetime, and she wouldn’t need him scolding her like this.

Liu Sisi pondered and sat down on a chair.

She was also a pregnant woman, and she hadn’t closed her eyes for several days in a row, her body could hardly keep standing and she felt too weak.

She would have to fight many more battles tomorrow, and she mustn’t collapse now!

Gently closing her eyes to rest, she let Di Ah-Bao’s curses sting her ears.

In the inner room, Little Cui faintly heard the angry shouting from outside.

She tried to move but felt her entire body completely devoid of strength, unable even to open her eyes, which should be a simple task.

A hoarse voice by her ear said, “Don’t move! It took great effort for yours truly to pull you back from the gates of hell, so don’t go barging in again! You’ll feel better after some sleep.”

Ms. Xin wanted to speak, but was unable to resist the darkness’s call and fell asleep once more.

In her sleep, the nightmares of her past returned to her dreams.

Old He’s needles piercing her hands did not falter, his hand steady and accurate, without a single deviation.

The medicine pageboy brought in the boiled medical drink, and Old He looked over, instructing: “You, call a family member from outside to come in and feed the medicine!”

“Alright, Old He.”

The medicine pageboy was somewhat surprised. In the past, Old He had never allowed relatives to enter during treatment. What happened today?

Surprised as he was, his footsteps did not slow, quickly leaving the inner room.

Di Ah-bao had stopped cursing since the medicine pageboy brought the medicine in, and at the moment, he had his neck stretched out, trying to look inside. As soon as the pageboy opened the door, he almost bumped into Di Ah-bao.

“Young man, how is my sister-in-law?”

Liu Sisi was resting with her eyes closed, but she had already woken up when the medicine pageboy brought the medicine in. Seeing the pageboy come out, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Di Ah-bao looked at Liu Sisi with dissatisfaction, anxiously asking, “Little brother, how is my wife? Is she okay?”

“What’s all the fuss about? Your noise is disturbing the patient. Now someone has to feed the medicine to the patient. Who’s going in?”

“I’ll go.” “I’ll go!”

Both voices rang out at once, and both heads glared at each other.

“Get out! It’s all your fault that Little Cui is like this!” Di Ah-bao was furious.

Liu Sisi did not back down either: “You go in? Are you sure you’ll feed Little Cui her medicine once you go in, and not torment her?”

“I… ”

Di Ah-bao said one word before he couldn’t continue.

Truth be told, he had been spoiled by Ms. Zhao since he was young and further pampered by Ms. Xin after they married. He had never done the work of looking after a sick person!

After saying one word, he couldn’t continue.

Liu Sisi didn’t expect an answer from him. She turned to the medicine pageboy and said, “Little brother, let me go in and feed her the medicine.”

The pageboy glanced at the group instead and shook his head: “Considering your exhausted face and that you’re pregnant, you should rest well! If you keep going like this and collapse later, wouldn’t that put more work on our Old Master to treat you? In my opinion, it’s better to let this Auntie help.”

The pageboy pointed to Nanny Hu, who was standing behind Liu Sisi.

Nanny Hu hurriedly came forward, patting her chest to guarantee, “Don’t worry, young man. I, Granny Hu, have given birth to three children. I have plenty of experience. Just tell me what needs to be done.”

“Very well, come in quickly!”

It was only then that the pageboy withdrew his gaze.

Watching Granny Hu enter the inner room, Di Ah-bao tried to follow her in but was stopped by the medicine pageboy.

“Hey hey, what are you doing pushing your way in? Can’t you see they’re trying to save the patient inside? Do you have any manners? Get out of the way!”

The medicine pageboy didn’t leave any face for Di Ah-bao, “Are you even a man? Dithering like that, you’re just like a woman, how disgraceful!”
