Chapter 142: Chapter 140: My Arsenic, Your Honey (Part 2)

“Mom! Dad! What are you guys doing? Yawn——”

YingEr rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, curiously asking about her parents who were embracing each other.

“Ah! Let… let me go…”

Liu Sisi was panicked and struggled to break free, trying to pull her clothes together.

“YingEr, why did you get up? Weren’t you asleep just now?” She slapped the big naughty hands, and coughed twice.

“Yawn, Mom, I ate too many pastries tonight, I’m so thirsty and want to drink water.”

YingEr rubbed her eyes and said.

That’s right!

Everyone was happy tonight, naturally eating a little more than usual.

“YingEr, don’t worry, Mom… your Dad will pour water for you, just wait a while, okay?”

Slapping the salty pig hand again, Liu Sisi thought of a perfect solution.

“Why should I go? Isn’t it you who usually pours water? Ask YingEr if she wants her dad to pour water for her or her mom?”

Di Yelei’s tone was flat, and it was impossible to hear any mischief in his hands.

Liu Sisi’s small body visibly shrank, shivering from head to toe. However, she had to force herself to calm down and stood straight.

“I want Mom to help me pour… no, I want Dad to pour boiled water for YingEr!”

YingEr was getting a little impatient and stomped her foot: “Dad! YingEr wants you to pour boiled water for me!”

“Ye Lei, did you hear that? YingEr wants you to pour her water, hurry up!”

Liu Sisi gritted her teeth and said. This hateful man!

“Alright, alright! Dad will go now, you wait for a moment, okay?”

In the darkness, Di Yelei’s gentle voice was still echoing in her ears. But the next moment, he touched her once again, causing her to gasp involuntarily!

Her entire face turned red in an instant!

Although she knew that YingEr couldn’t see clearly, this feeling was indescribable! This hateful stinky man!

“Mom, YingEr saw it all!”

YingEr ran to her side, pulled her hand and whispered.

YingEr saw it!

Her face suddenly caught fire, feeling extremely hot. How could she face anyone after this?

“Dad is so bad, he actually hit Mom! YingEr saw it all just now.”

YingEr stood on her tiptoes, whispering in her ear: “Hmph! Let’s ignore him, bad dad! YingEr will blow on Mom’s pain and it won’t hurt.”

YingEr… actually thought she had been hit?

Thinking of the hit Di Yelei gave her before leaving, it must have been misunderstood by YingEr as being hit.

She breathed a sigh of relief and followed YingEr’s lead: “Yes! He is a big villain! We will ignore him, hmph!”

A certain man carrying boiled water returned, completely unaware that he had been labeled a common enemy by his two favorite women.

“Here, YingEr have some water.”

“Hmph! Bad dad, ugly dad! I hate you! Hmph!”

YingEr snorted coldly, picked up the bowl and drank her fill, then turned around and ran into the room, closing the door behind her.

Di Yelei stared in disbelief, unable to recover from the shocking difference between the past and the present.

“What… what happened here? Oh! I know, you must be falsely accusing me, aren’t you?”

Di Yelei approached, taking step by step towards her.

She only realized the danger then and turned to run, but was two steps too slow and was caught by his long arms and legs! He trapped her securely in his embrace, reaching out to pinch her small nose lightly.

“Very well! You dare to scheme against your husband, see how I will punish you!”

As he spoke, he leaned down for a fierce kiss, burying his face in the crook of her neck and sniffing the rich fragrance of her neck and hair.

Her gentle movements only provoked her entire body to tremble, and her delicate earlobes blushed beautifully.

She was pure yet seductive, sweet and mesmerizing.

She was a mixture of contradictions!

She was his own little demon!

She was so beautiful, so perfect!

He fell in love with the taste of savoring her slowly.

On the other side, in the old house.

Today, Di Yelei brought Elderly Mr. Di back, and the old house fell into silence again.

After being away for a few days, Elderly Mr. Di returned to find the Di Family completely changed. Not only were clothes strewn all over the place, but Ms. Zhao also didn’t seem to care about him at all.

As everyone ate a meal together, there was a commotion again. If one child wasn’t crying, an adult was scolding someone else. It was noisy and chaotic.

Elderly Mr. Di held back his anger and scolded everyone one by one. Then, he picked up the bowl he had set down and found that the coarse grain porridge had long since gone cold.

As he took a sip, the cold liquid cooled his mouth and his heart.

Elderly Mr. Di no longer had the appetite to continue eating. He put down his chopsticks and looked disappointedly at the people around him, who were each preoccupied with their own interests. He then hobbled back to his room with his crutch, skipped washing, and lay down beside his bed with his shoes still on, his old eyes wide awake and thinking.

Thinking back on the days he spent in the county, although his spirits had been low and he hadn’t been able to move around much,

his daughter-in-law had taken care of him for all three meals a day and never spoke harshly to him.

Comparing that to the people in the old house…

Elderly Mr. Di let out a long sigh, filled with mixed emotions. He didn’t know whose debts he owed from his past life that caused him to suffer now.

“Old man, I’ve brought hot water for you to wash your feet. You should get up and wash.”

Ms. Zhao came in from the outside with a basin of hot water, carefully placed it on the footstool by the bedside, then stepped back and closed the door before wiping Elderly Mr. Di’s face and hands with a towel.

From beginning to end, Elderly Mr. Di remained quiet, not saying a word.

As the hot water soaked through him, a wave of warmth rose from the depths of his heart. Elderly Mr. Di finally felt more comfortable and began to speak.

“Alright, you should look after yourself too. Don’t end up with a body full of ailments when you’re old. Where’s Ah-Bao? Why haven’t I seen him? Where has he gone, not even coming home in the evening?”

Ms. Zhao’s hand trembled as she held the basin, almost spilling its contents, and her face showed a momentary panic.

She hesitated for a moment, taking the basin out and emptying it before returning to the room. Climbing onto the bed carefully and pulling the thin quilt over her, she picked up the shoe pattern she was working on and prepared the large needle to sew the shoe sole.

“Recently, Ah-Bao has been working hard. You had asked someone to help him find a private school in the small town before, right? These days, he’s been busy getting along with his teacher. He says he’s staying over at another student’s house, who he gets along well with. I thought this might be helpful for his future studies, so I let him go.”

As Ms. Zhao spoke, her eyes kept darting around.

Unfortunately, Elderly Mr. Di was too preoccupied with pressing his temples to alleviate his headache and could not see her nervousness.

“If it’s helpful for his studies, let him go. But Ah-Bao’s temperament is really unpleasant. You should tell him that when he’s at someone else’s house, he’s a guest and shouldn’t act as recklessly as he does at home.”
