Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 496: Besieged on All Sides (Part 5)
“I didn’t! I really didn’t harm her, you have to believe me!”

Ms. Zhao roared in exhaustion.

“You didn’t kill Brother Ren, but Brother Ren died because of you. Her death is hard for you to escape responsibility! Hmph!”

Elderly Mr. Di finished speaking, coldly snorted, then entered the room with his crutch, ignoring Ms. Zhao behind him.

Ms. Zhao desperately knocked on the door, crying loudly: “Old man! Old man, how can you be so cruel…”

“Stop howling, it’s no use.”

Behind her, a lazy voice came, but it suddenly ignited a glint of hope in Ms. Zhao’s eyes.

She suddenly turned around, threw herself in front of Liu Sisi, grabbed her collar, and violently shook her.

“Do you have a way? You must have a way? Please tell me, tell me what the way is! Tell me quickly…”

She shook Liu Sisi’s body crazily, not stopping, making Liu Sisi’s head dizzy.

Ms. Gao and Granny Hu were behind them, shocked and hurriedly came forward to grab Liu Sisi.

Granny Hu forcefully pulled Ms. Zhao’s arm, shouting angrily: “Hey! What are you doing? Let go of our Madam! Let go, Madam…”

Ms. Gao also cried out in panic: “Madam! Old Madam, please let go, Old Madam…”

Liu Sisi was furious!

The feeling of being grabbed and almost lifted by the collar made her subconsciously raise her foot and kick Ms. Zhao in the lower abdomen.

Ms. Zhao felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen!

Instinctively releasing her grip and covering her stomach, she let out a miserable scream.

Ms. Gao and Granny Hu took the opportunity to pull Ms. Zhao’s hand away, finally saving Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi coughed several times, her face tearful and panting heavily.

Unexpectedly, while Ms. Zhao looked weak, her grip was surprisingly strong, nearly tearing Liu Sisi’s collar.

Elderly Mr. Di, who had originally entered the room, heard the commotion outside and opened the door to look out, seeing the situation in front of him, and immediately became furious!

“You troublemaker, get out of here! Get out! You’re not welcome here!”

He raised his crutch and waved it several times, scaring Liu Sisi into quickly holding onto his arm.

“Dad, don’t be angry! She didn’t mean to…”

Ms. Zhao then realized that her actions were too aggressive and stood there with no idea what to do.

“I… I really didn’t mean it, not on purpose…”

Elderly Mr. Di was so angry that he panted, pointed at her and yelled: “Last time you ‘accidentally’… took away her life, this time you’re ‘not on purpose’ again, how many more people do you want to harm? Get out! What sins did I, Di Defu, commit in my previous life… to have remarried you, such a… troublemaker! Get out, get out of here!”

He spoke brokenly, raising his crutch to strike her several times.

“I won’t leave! If you beat me to death, I won’t leave!” Ms. Zhao stood stubbornly, taking several blows from him.

“Fine, you won’t leave? I’ll write a divorce letter, and divorce you, poisonous woman!”

Liu Sisi could see that Elderly Mr. Di was determined to divorce his wife.

Ms. Zhao was also determined. She refused to leave after being beaten by Elderly Mr. Di, and instead threw herself at his feet, firmly holding onto his thigh and refusing to let go.

“Go ahead, hit me! Hit me to death! Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore. When I die, I’ll go apologize to my cousin. It’s my fault, I’m sorry for her, I was possessed by evil thoughts at that moment… Old man! If you really divorce me, you might as well give me a rope, so I can go hang myself from a crooked-necked tree. Old man…”

Ms. Zhao cried with snot and tears, and she knew this was her last chance.

Elderly Mr. Di tried to retract his foot, but after several attempts, he couldn’t pull his thigh out. He closed his eyes in pain, and eventually couldn’t bring himself to hit her with his crutch anymore. He turned his head away and refused to speak.

Liu Sisi was watching it all closely.

It wasn’t that her father-in-law had no feelings for Ms. Zhao – perhaps he was just disappointed with her?

Indeed, Ms. Zhao’s mistake was unintentional!

But the punishment she deserved couldn’t be spared. Otherwise, she might commit the same mistake again and harm the child in her stomach!

A glint flashed in her eyes, and a plan formed in her heart.

“Father! It was unintentional for my mother-in-law just now. Since she knows her mistake, I believe we should give her a chance to repent,” said Liu Sisi softly, a shallow smile on her face, making people feel comfortable at first glance.

“Yes, yes, yes! Sisi is right, old man! I really know I’m wrong, please have mercy and forgive me! I’ll never dare again, I really know I’m wrong!” Ms. Zhao enthusiastically agreed with Liu Sisi, nodding her head constantly.

Elderly Mr. Di sighed in resignation.

Ever since Liu Sisi married into the Di Family, the family’s days have only gotten better. Naturally, he was satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

But to let him simply forgive Ms. Zhao – not to mention others – even he couldn’t overcome his feelings.

“Sisi, you don’t know… she… this woman is just a headache. You should ask for mercy for her, and father should give you a favor. But… sigh! Don’t plead for her. She’s not worth it!”

Elderly Mr. Di refused for the first time, turning his head to look away from his daughter-in-law.

Liu Sisi’s gaze quickly swept over Ms. Zhao’s face, watching her expression drain of color. Sisi felt joy in her heart.

Now you know it’s not easy, huh? What were you doing before?

However, for the sake of Di Yelei’s reputation, Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao must not divorce or be abandoned.

“Father, hear me out! After I finish speaking, if you still think that what I said won’t work, we can think of something else, okay?”

After struggling for a long time, Elderly Mr. Di sighed deeply and nodded his head.

“Fine, go ahead and speak.”

Ms. Zhao gratefully looked at Liu Sisi, who silently sneered at her.

Father-in-law is right! It’s true that Ms. Zhao didn’t kill mother-in-law, but mother-in-law died because of her! How can she let her off so easily?

How to make up for all the suffering Ye Lei has endured since childhood?

She will make her pay back everything that she owes, one by one!

Her mouth slowly raised, bringing up two shallow dimples, her eyes sweeping over Ms. Zhao on the ground before she raised her head and smiled at her father-in-law.

“Father, this is what I think: Since mother-in-law also knows that it was her wrongdoing back then, why not let her…”
