Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 410: Zhi’er Searches for His Child, Sisi Encounters Trouble
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but stop being angry, turning over and sitting up at the head of the bed, staring at him.

“You always say you’re busy with official business, but it’s the Lunar New Year now, what official business could be so urgent at this moment? You should find a better excuse. And what official business requires you to go out in the middle of the night and come back secretly at midnight? If you don’t want me to make wild guesses, then tell me the truth.”

Di Yelei also looked helpless: “Sisi, I really am…”

She suddenly interrupted him and covered her ears.

“I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to listen! If you don’t want to tell me the truth, just shut up. You can talk when you think it through and want to tell me! Humph!”

After finishing, she covered her ears and stopped talking, Di Yelei looked at her helplessly and didn’t say a word either.

Liu Sisi waited for a long time but did not get an explanation from him.

Out of anger, she went back to her bed head, and suddenly pulled the quilt over herself.

Di Yelei sat there for a while but eventually didn’t say anything.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xingyu’s sudden visit broke the peace of the Di family, and Liu Zhi’er was also panicked and in a hurry.

“Originally, I from the Zuo family intended to wait until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year to leave, but I thought about the official work starting on the 15th, it’s better to set off earlier. I just don’t know if you are ready?”

“We have no problems on our side, I… I’m ready and can leave at any time. It’s just that I’m sorry to trouble Constable Zuo to help.”

Before Liu Sisi could speak, Liu Zhi’er stood up next to her and respectfully saluted Zuo Xingyu.

“Second Sister, why…?”

Liu Sisi hurriedly tried to stop her, but before she could finish, Liu Zhi’er shook her head.

“Little Sister, you don’t have to stop me, you’re also a mother now. You should understand my feelings. No matter what, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I won’t give up looking for Er Mao and San Mao!”

Her determination was astonishing, shocking Liu Sisi and making her understand her resolve.

“Fine, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. Just be careful on the road!”

The last sentence, Liu Sisi whispered into Liu Zhi’er’s ear.

The man beside her was despicable! She didn’t trust him to care for her Second Sister at all!

Liu Zhi’er obviously didn’t think the same way and quickly packed up her things and walked out of the room with a luggage in her arms.

“Sisi, the journey ahead is long, and it’s not convenient for me to take Da Mao, so I’ll trouble you to take care of him.” Liu Zhi’er reluctantly stroked Da Mao’s head.

Da Mao seemed to sense that Liu Zhi’er was going to leave, and he clung to her clothes desperately, unwilling to let go.

He called out softly, “Mom, mom…”

“Da Mao, be good! Mom is going to find your younger brothers Er Mao and San Mao. You must behave and listen to your young aunt and not cause her any trouble, okay?”

Liu Zhi’er was especially reluctant to part with Da Mao, and she couldn’t help but hold him and rub her face against his.

“Don’t leave, mom… Don’t leave Da Mao…”

Da Mao sobbed softly, surprisingly speaking such a long string of words, causing tears to fall from Liu Zhi’er’s eyes!

“Da Mao, be good! Da Mao is the most obedient. Mom can’t bear to leave Da Mao either! But…Mom has to go and find your second and third brothers, have you forgotten? Be good!”

After speaking, she forcibly held back her tears and pushed Da Mao, who was clinging tightly to her clothes, into Liu Sisi’s arms. She then quickly turned around, picked up her baggage, and rushed out of the room.

“Don’t…Mom!…”

Da Mao cried, and suddenly struggled, kicking Liu Sisi’s stomach. The pain caused Liu Sisi to scream and inadvertently let go of Da Mao.

Da Mao, not caring about anything else, directly ran out of the main entrance and searched around, only to see his mother’s figure quickly running down the hill.

Not waiting for anything else, he shouted and quickly chased after her.

Liu Zhi’er, who was walking and wiping her tears along the way, turned her head when she heard Da Mao’s cry. She saw Da Mao not only not stopping but running even faster!

“Don’t chase! Your mother is going to find your brothers for you, be obedient!”

Di Yelei’s long limbs allowed him to catch up quickly, grabbing Da Mao and scolding him. Da Mao didn’t care, and turned around, biting down hard on Di Yelei’s hand.

“Ouch! Let go!”

The sudden pain made Di Yelei cry out. He reached out and pinched Da Mao’s chin, finally freeing his hand as fresh blood oozed from the deep teeth marks.

Inside the courtyard, Liu Sisi was clenching her stomach in pain, almost unable to stand straight, as beads of sweat slid down her body.

“It hurts so much! My stomach… it hurts so much…”

Her body swayed and fell, feeling a warm stream flowing from underneath her, her vision darkening as she crumbled to the ground.

“Mom! Mom, what’s wrong with you? Mom, please don’t scare me, wuwu…”

YingEr was the first to notice Liu Sisi’s condition, and started crying loudly. Di Xuan and Elderly Mr. Di quickly rushed over, trying to support Liu Sisi’s body.

“Oh! Blood! Why is there blood on mom’s body…”

A chaotic noise erupted as her original yellow dress quickly became stained with the bright red blood, so glaringly red!

“Sisi! -”

Di Yelei’s shocked cry was the last thing Liu Sisi remembered.

In a daze, it seemed someone was talking by her ear, “… we need to prepare as soon as possible… the adult and the children may not be safe… if necessary, there’s no choice but to choose one of the two.” There were also figures swaying, making it impossible for her to open her eyes, and she soon fell into darkness.

When she woke up again, she felt utterly weak, especially in her eyelids, as if they weighed a ton.

The lost consciousness gradually returned to her mind in a groggy state, and she suddenly remembered!

The person speaking in her sleep, if it wasn’t Ms. Xin who secretly communicated with her, then who was it?

It was Ms. Xin who always made a secret gesture at her! This realization made Liu Sisi’s heart jolt, and she instantly woke up completely from her sleep. She looked around and saw no one.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she carefully covered her lower abdomen. Waves of cramping pain came from her belly.

Her child! Was her child gone?

She clutched her stomach tightly, not daring to think, and not daring to do anything. A countless number of regrets surged in her heart.
