Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 190: 188: Trampling

Today, several children came out with Di Gaoyuan and Di Ruoning, but halfway through, they were annoyed by Miao Cuihua’s antics, dampening everyone’s mood for sightseeing. After finally apologizing, they realized Di Ah-bao was missing.

Thinking of Di Ah-bao’s age, everyone had to move on. But when they reached halfway, Di Ruoning complained of stomach pains again, forcing Yuan Mengbai to carry her…

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone was exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, but they had no water to drink. Then they saw the loving couple nearby.

“Third Uncle, Third Auntie…”

Di Wei, extremely thirsty, approached.

The couple eating popcorn turned around and saw several people sitting on rocks in the shade not far away.

“Oh, it’s Di Wei? Are you here to join YingEr and the others? They seem to have gone ahead.”

Li Susi assumed that Di Wei came to play with YingEr.

Di Wei glanced at the food in Liu Sisi’s hands, swallowed her saliva, and shook her head: “I-I didn’t see them.”

Seeing where Di Wei was looking, Liu Sisi quickly understood, taking several skewers of food from Di Yelei’s hands, handing it to Di Wei.

“Hungry, huh? Here’s some food, Third Aunt has for you. Eat it to fill your stomach a bit first.”

Di Wei’s face lit up. She took the food, smiled sweetly at Liu Sisi, and said, “Thank you, Third Auntie and Third Uncle!”

“Hold on, here’s a bamboo tube of water, too. You can have it.”

Seeing the child’s parched lips, Liu Sisi knew that she was very thirsty. She took a new bamboo tube prepared that morning from Di Yelei’s body and handed it to Di Wei.

“Mmm! Thank you, Third Aunt!”

Di Wei smiled happily and hurried back to the people in the shade.

“Mom! Dad! Third Auntie gave these to me!” Di Wei happily reported her merit to the others.

Seeing what was happening, Di Jie immediately ran over to Liu Sisi, who generously handed over several more skewers of food from Di Yelei’s hands.

Ms. Wang, ever the opportunist, saw there were more snacks in Di Yelei’s hands, felt even hungrier, and couldn’t help but poke Di Wei’s forehead with her finger.

“You only brought this little? Do you want to starve all of us? Eat, eat, eat! You know nothing but eating, little girl. Bring it to me! Didn’t you see Brother Gao is also quite hungry?”

As she spoke, she grabbed the food from Di Wei’s hands and handed it all to Brother Gao.

Di Wei was scared by Ms. Wang and couldn’t help but cry, covering her hurt arm.

Brother Gao, who had already lowered his presence, at the sight of Di Yelei, now couldn’t care less about his surroundings and furiously began chewing on the food, totally unconcerned with Di Wei’s sadness.

“You little brat, what are you standing here for? Are you trying to bother others?”

Ms. Wang snatched the bamboo tube from Di Wei’s hands, leaned back her head, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Di Wei was frightened and hurried to hide far away.

The cool water momentarily relieved her thirst, and Ms. Wang’s gaze fell upon Di Ruoning nearby. Remembering how much money she had spent in the past few days, she immediately put on a fake smile and handed her bamboo tube to Di Ruoning.

“Little Sister, you must be thirsty too? Here, drink some water.”

“Who wants to drink her water? It’s so dirty, and who knows if she added some medicine to it? You guys are all bought off by some food.”

Di Ruoning angrily waved her hand, knocking over the bamboo tube.

She had been holding in her anger for a long time!

She and Liu Sisi were like bitter enemies meeting with hatred in their eyes.

Especially when she saw the people who were originally flattering her, suddenly turned to the traitorous Liu Sisi, it made her even more furious.

“Ruoning, what are you talking about? This is a good intention from your Third Sister-in-law, and it’s for Di Wei.” Yuan Mengbai, who was beside her, couldn’t stand it any longer and tried to mediate.

“What I said is the truth. Who knows what the food from the outside contains? If something happens, no one can be sure.” She couldn’t help but retort, then she turned to Di Yelei and shouted, “Third Brother, I’m hungry! I want to eat something.”

“Huh?”

Di Yelei hadn’t recovered from the sudden change in front of him.

Just a moment ago, she was complaining about the clear water he gave her, and now she wanted to eat something, this…

“Little Sister, didn’t you just say that the water Third Brother gave you has a problem?”

“I don’t want water, I want candied hawthorns!” Di Ruoning insisted stubbornly.

Liu Sisi was just about to bite into the top hawthorn of a candied hawthorn skewer. Upon hearing this, she could no longer bite down. She put down her hand and closed her mouth, looking around.

The person who had been selling candied hawthorns on the street earlier was nowhere to be found.

Everyone else naturally noticed this.

Yuan Mengbai couldn’t help but frown and stepped forward to gently hold Di Ruoning’s hand, “Ruoning, the person selling candied hawthorns has gone far away. You should eat something else. I’ll go buy it for you.”

“I don’t want anything else! I want candied hawthorns! I want them!”

While talking, she looked at Di Yelei with a gentle smile and a provocative expression, “Third Brother! Are you really going to forget your little sister after getting a daughter-in-law?”

This was clearly snatching food from someone else’s mouth!

Liu Sisi furrowed her eyebrows, suddenly lost the desire to continue eating, and handed her candied hawthorns to Di Yelei.

“Take it! However, although hawthorn is appetizing, pregnant women can’t eat too much of it. Eating too much can cause miscarriage, so everyone should be careful.”

As she spoke, she even deliberately glanced at Di Ruoning’s stomach.

No matter what, she was Di Yelei’s little sister. She wouldn’t argue with her for the sake of saving face, especially since she was in a good mood today.

“Yeah, I know.”

Di Yelei didn’t mind either. He took two big steps forward and handed the candied hawthorns to Di Ruoning.

“Here, Little Sister! Just now, Sisi was saying…”

“Thank you, Third Brother! Ruoning always knew Third Brother is the best to Ruoning, you are the best brother ever!”

Di Ruoning interrupted his unfinished words and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

Then she bit into a candied haw, feeling its sour and sweet taste in her mouth. It quickly alleviated her parched mouth, and she couldn’t refrain from one candied haw followed by another.

“Ruoning, this candied haw was given to you by Sisi. If you want to thank someone, you should thank your Third Sister-in-law. Don’t thank me!”

“But little sister just asked Third Brother to help buy candied haw, right?”
