Di Cheng started to feel anxious!

“Third Aunt, it’s Feng’er from the blacksmith shop in the small town…”

Only then did Liu Sisi suddenly understand and immediately became overjoyed!

“Oh! You mean that matter? My goodness! This is such great news! Our Di Cheng is going to start a family and a career, we have to celebrate this properly.”

Before the New Year, Di Cheng mentioned that the blacksmith’s daughter, Feng’er, in the small town had a charming appearance, and they had caught each other’s eyes. However, the blacksmith had only one precious daughter, and naturally wanted a son-in-law to live with them. Even without the son-in-law living with them, they demanded fifty taels of silver as betrothal gifts, plus a house in the small town.

Therefore, Liu Sisi did not think this would work out, so she told Di Cheng to talk to Ms. Wang first. If necessary, she would step in and say a few words herself.

Unexpectedly, Di Cheng managed to make it happen!

Thinking about Ms. Wang’s temperament, Liu Sisi felt a bit uneasy inside.

Di Cheng smiled naïvely, scratching his head: “The matter isn’t even close to being settled, Third Aunt, don’t tease Cheng’er. However, if this really works out, Cheng’er will definitely thank Third Aunt!”

Di Cheng said it very seriously.

“No need for thanks, as long as you two can have a good life and support your little family well. That’s enough!”

Liu Sisi spoke sincerely, thought for a moment, and still couldn’t help but ask about the worry in her heart.

“When did you mention this to your mother? What did she say at that time?”

Di Cheng grinned, his smile bearing a striking resemblance to Di Yelei: “It was just yesterday morning when my mom came to the store to get my wages from last month. I just brought it up to her casually. She agreed!”

“How…how did she respond to you at that time?” Liu Sisi hesitated to ask further.

It was no wonder she asked repeatedly. Ms. Wang was very unreliable in doing things and extremely greedy. In addition, she had never taken a liking to Di Cheng. With a house plus fifty taels of betrothal gifts, and all the odds and ends for the wedding, they would need at least 200 taels of silver.

For someone like Ms. Wang, who hated being unable to save even on food, wasn’t this equivalent to ripping a piece of flesh from her own body?

However, it was unbelievable that Ms. Wang would agree without any fuss. It was so unlike her usual style!

“My mom even laughed and said it was all up to me.”

Di Cheng couldn’t suppress his excitement.

“Does your mother plan to discuss the marriage proposal details with you? Did she mention which matchmaker to hire? Did she pick a date and say when to visit the bride’s family?”

“Uh… she didn’t mention any of that. But after she said those words, she left.” Di Cheng was obviously a bit puzzled.

“You mean!” Liu Sisi asked word by word: “Your meaning is that yesterday you mentioned this, your mother said ‘whatever you want,’ and then she left?”

“That’s right; you know my mother…rarely speaks to Cheng’er…”

Di Cheng felt a bit embarrassed; his smile had become slightly bitter.

Liu Sisi nodded and seemed to understand Ms. Wang’s thoughts. In Ms. Wang’s view, Di Cheng proposing this matter was like a toad trying to eat a swan’s meat—a fanciful delusion. That’s why she said “whatever you want” to belittle Di Cheng!

Liu Sisi sighed inwardly, couldn’t help but feel sad for Di Cheng before her.

Both were her children, yet Brother Gao was pampered and protected by Ms. Wang while Di Cheng was trampled into the mud and ignored. Even then, she wasn’t satisfied and wanted to exploit the silver Di Cheng had earned, almost as if she wanted to drain his every last bit of marrow!

How could this be her own mother? It’s more like her own enemy!

Di Cheng did not notice the pity in Liu Sisi’s eyes, and after a moment of depression, he became excited again.

“I have saved a lot of silver before the New Year, and there are still more than 100 taels of silver in my hands now, all carefully stored properly. Cheng’er estimates that it should be enough to handle all these matters if I save a bit.”

“Didn’t you have nearly 300 taels of silver? How come you only have this much left?”

The silver was distributed by Liu Sisi’s hands. She naturally knew how much silver Di Cheng had in his possession.

“The silver… Third Aunt, I’m sorry for not following your guidance, I… couldn’t keep the silver safe.” Di Cheng stammered.

With just one look at his expression, Liu Sisi understood!

Di Cheng probably couldn’t hide the silver, and it was taken away by Ms. Wang again!

She sighed continuously in her heart, not knowing what to say as she looked at Di Cheng’s guilty face.

It seems like her advice was not taken seriously at all!

“You have not let Third Aunt down, she’s your mother, and it’s right for you to respect her. However…”

Liu Sisi didn’t finish her sentence. Changing the subject, she brought up another matter: “How about this! Find a time to go back for a while, have a thorough talk with your mother, and discuss everything that needs to be discussed. Then choose an auspicious time to propose marriage, understand?”

“Third Aunt, aren’t you going back with me?” Di Cheng was somewhat anxious.

“Look at my health, I won’t go back to the old house. But if you really want to propose marriage, Third Aunt will definitely go and boost your courage!”

Liu Sisi silently apologized in her heart. Don’t blame Third Aunt for being heartless! Letting you shatter your own dream with your own hands.

People! Only by experiencing pain can you gain wisdom!

If he doesn’t fall hard, he won’t learn!

As she walked out from the inside, Liu Sisi almost bumped into Shou Hou, who was standing against the shelf.

“Ah! What are you doing standing here?”

Liu Sisi was startled!

“Nothing! Hehe, I’m just cleaning.”

Shou Hou dodged her gaze and walked to the side, continuing to wipe things down.

Liu Sisi glanced at him and couldn’t help but walk over: “Shou Hou, yesterday Cuihua came to my house and said that you didn’t take your wages home last month. Then she asked me why I didn’t distribute the wages.”

Shou Hou’s face was filled with panic: “Boss, I…”

“You don’t have to explain anything to me.”

Liu Sisi waved her hand: “She asked me if I was short of silver recently, and that was why I didn’t distribute the wages last month? I temporarily covered this matter for you. If she asks again next month, I will tell her everything honestly. You should think about what to do.”

Shou Hou stood there, cowering and looking dejected: “Yes, yes! Boss.”

Seeing his actions, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but speak earnestly: “The most frightening thing in life is to take a wrong step. If you really take the wrong path, turn back as soon as possible, so as not to harm yourself and others!”

After saying that, she walked out of the bookstore.

Shou Hou was left standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
