Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Training
“Stop! What on earth is going on? Release them at once!”

The commotion alerted those drinking in the hall. Di Yelei strode out hastily from the inside, ordering people to separate them.

In the hall, there were not only County Magistrate Su, the Land Officer, and others, but also many colleagues from the governmental office. Such a scene was utterly humiliating for Di Yelei.

Upon seeing all this, the fellow villagers rushed forward to separate the two people.

“What exactly happened?”

Di Yelei, trembling with his crutch, emerged. Seeing the two women in complete disarray, he was utterly exasperated.

“Dad! Mom’s madness has erupted again. No matter how much we tried to restrain her, we couldn’t stop her. Second Sister-in-law was just trying to help!”

Supporting her belly and waist, Liu Sisi emerged from the kitchen, shouting: “Can some strong people come and separate them quickly! Lock them in the inner room until their fit subsides. I’ve sent someone to call the doctor. He should be here soon!”

These words lit up Di Yelei’s eyes.

Of course, he knew Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang were not mad, but under the current circumstances, even if Ms. Zhao was not mad, she had to act as one! This was called reaping what you sow.

And, indeed, the two Ms. Zhao, disheveled and muddy, were no better than the mad women on the street! At the moment, they were biting and clawing at each other, neither willing to let go.

If someone called them mad, anyone who saw them would believe it to be true to some extent. The ones who didn’t believe it, naturally, were the ones in the kitchen.

“You’re talking shit! I’m not mad!”

Although Ms. Zhao had red eyes from fighting, she still heard what everyone was saying. Having finally let go of Ms. Wang’s arm, she spat out some bloody spittle and cursed loudly.

“A mad person never thinks they’re mad! Don’t stand there, hurry up and separate these two!”

Di Yelei also took the opportunity to shout loudly.

“Quickly! Everyone, lend a hand, and bring some towels to gag them. Be sure to stop them from biting their tongues off!”

People finally stepped forward to separate the two and gagged their mouths.

Yet, despite being gagged, the two, in the heat of the battle, were still trying to attack each other with their feet.

“Take them inside first, and wait for the doctor to come and examine them thoroughly!”

Liu Sisi shouted from the side, giving orders.

Watching as Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang were taken to the inner room, everyone finally quieted down.

Elderly Mr. Di’s face was grim: “I’m really sorry! My wife has suffered from this madness… for many years. I’m sorry to have disturbed you all, honored guests. Please accept my apologies.”

Whether it was indeed madness, everyone present knew the truth. Given the current situation, no one exposed it.

“Don’t worry about it! Every family has its troubles. It’s normal. Let’s go! Let’s go back and continue drinking!” As the crowd cheered, they once again merrily returned to the hall to continue drinking.

As they left, Di Yelei glanced at Liu Sisi.

That look immediately gave Liu Sisi an idea. Di Yelei knew that she had intentionally created this situation!

That’s right!

She intended to cause trouble for Ms. Zhao, cutting off her retreat.

Ms. Zhao chose today to create a scene, wanting to use the numerous guests present to make her agree to her request. What Ms. Zhao requested, she did not need to voice out for Liu Sisi to understand.

Of course, supporting her father is the right thing to do, but it would be truly heart-wrenching for Di Yelei to face his mother’s murderer every day, wouldn’t it?

She believes that after today’s farce, any calculation from Ms. Zhao is pointless!

“Everyone, keep eating, keep drinking! Enjoy yourselves. It is a joyous day, everyone please do not hold back.”

Liu Sisi greeted everyone, had more fruits and pastries sent out, and encouraged everyone to continue dining.

Only when she saw that everyone had calmed down did she signal Guihua, and sneakily enter the inner room.

In there, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang were still tied up, their mouths gagged, at the head of the bed. Despite this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still kicking each other. Seeing Liu Sisi enter, they did not intend to stop in the slightest.

Liu Sisi pretended not to see, strolled into the room, picked up a chair that had fallen to the side, and placed it back into its original position.

Perhaps it was Liu Sisi’s calm demeanor that caused Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang to gradually stop moving their feet and look at her.

The hatred in their eyes was identical.

Liu Sisi lifted her gaze towards them and said with a smile, “It seems both of you have great energy! It is my fault, I shouldn’t have come in so early. I should have let you two suffer a little more, endure a little more hardship, and then come in and explain everything slowly.”

During the conversation, she turned around as if intending to walk out of the room.

That’s when Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang got anxious!

They made sounds from their mouths, having been gagged, they could not say anything.

“Hmm, hmm, hmm…”

The two struggled fiercely. It was a joke! They had been tied up here for so long, no one came in to see them or untie them. Their arms had long gone numb from being tied up, their cheeks were not theirs anymore. If Liu Sisi really left, they didn’t know when would be the next time someone would come in.

“Hey! Is there a mosquito buzzing or something? It seems like someone is calling me? Why aren’t you all talking? Are you all not good at talking?”

Liu Sisi feigned innocence. Instead of leaving, she sat on the chair with hands on her waist and a faint smile.

“Oh! I forgot your mouths are gagged, so you couldn’t speak. I thought you enjoyed being tied up and did not want me to untie you.”

Ms. Zhao’s eyes were wide open, wishing she could eat Liu Sisi whole.

In contrast, Ms. Wang on the side tried her best to soften her expression. However, because her mouth was covered, she looked like a bizarre clown. Absolutely hideous!

“But what if I untied you, and you started to act crazily again? There wouldn’t be others in here to help. It’s okay, let’s just talk like this!”

Liu Sisi held out her hand as if to remove Ms. Zhao’s and Ms. Wang’s gags, but she then drew her hand back.

The two women now frantically shook their heads. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but they certainly had enough of this treatment.

Seeing that both of their attitudes had softened, Liu Sisi finally dropped the smile on her face and looked at them seriously.

“Do you know why all this has happened to you?”

Looking at the confused women in front of her, who had no inkling of wrongdoing, Liu Sisi decided to speak more clearly.

“Although Yelei just got a minor position as a sub-captain, it has indeed benefited the entire Di family. Exemption from corvée labour and taxes is something many families desire. But look at both of you! Not only did you not help, but you even tried to worsen the situation?”

The two shook their heads vehemently, fervently denying it.
