“This … is it really necessary?”

Upon hearing Liu Sisi’s words, Di Yelei couldn’t help but take back his smile, even putting his hand down.

Liu Sisi naturally understood what he meant by not needing it, referring to who.

“Just think about it, your father is here too. If you don’t invite your mother-in-law, it won’t be acceptable for such a happy occasion. If you invite your mother-in-law, it won’t be good not to invite your brothers too. Since you want to invite, invite them all together. As for whether or not they are willing to come, that is another matter.”

Di Yelei thought for a moment, “Actually, having mom over for dinner is not a problem, I’m just afraid of Second Sister-in-law… “He paused, “In the past, I wasn’t afraid, but just yesterday Zhang Peng said that you just got pregnant and need to have a careful rest. I’m afraid she would be reckless and if something happens…Cough cough, I don’t know what to do in case something happens.”

Worried that she might be angered by Ms. Wang?

Liu Sisi also thought of the elder doctor’s instructions and then thought for a moment.

“Just invite them! With your Second Sister-in-law’s usual behavior, if she learns about this, wouldn’t she cause a scene sooner or later? If we invite her over tonight, isn’t there still your father and Mr. Land Officer here? There will be someone to help speak up! She will be somewhat afraid, so even if she makes a fuss, it will be much better. Wait until she comes, I will try to stay away from her as much as possible, you just rest assured.”

As she spoke, she reached out to hold onto Di Yelei’s hand, drawing strength from it.

He couldn’t help but hold her small hand in return, smiling lightly, lifting her small hand to his chin, and deliberately rubbing her small hand against his rough stubble, his face full of infatuation.

“Sisi, my little kitten, remember to protect yourself and our baby. As for Second Sister-in-law… when necessary, don’t be polite with your actions!”

“Pfft! What nonsense are you talking about? If outsiders hear this, who knows what they would think.”

Unable to help it, Liu Sisi laughed and slowly leaned back into his warm and broad chest, rubbing her face against it like a lazy little cat, lingering in the warmth of his body.

The man in front of her was warm all over, like a stove that warmed her body and mind.

“Are you tired? If you’re sleepy, go to sleep first and take a good rest. I’ll go to the Land Officer’s home and Zhang Peng’s home first, then head over to the old house, okay?”

As he spoke, there was no intention of letting go of her body with his hands.

Liu Sisi gently pushed away his hand and rolled over to the head of the bed, squinting her eyes, “You go ahead and get busy, I’ve been feeling particularly sleepy lately, I’ll get up and cook after taking a nap.”

“You rest, let me and Second Sister worry about the food. Just focus on your pregnancy.”

Di Yelei’s face was gentle, and he gently pulled the quilt over her before putting her small hand into the quilt. Then he imprinted a kiss on her forehead, lifted the grass curtain, and walked out.

Then came the sound of his suppressed instructions.

Liu Sisi, on the other hand, sat up and thought for a while. She found a small jar she used to store candy, wrapped the land and house contracts in paper, then in cotton cloth, and finally in a layer of tin foil before placing them in the small jar and returning it to its original position.

Only then did she feel relieved and go back to the head of the bed to sleep.

Since the last incident of silver being stolen, she had been following the principle of a crafty hare with three dens, never wanting to put all her eggs in one basket.

The silver was stored in several different places.

The weather in December was particularly cold, so the evening banquet naturally focused on eating “lumps of meat.” Actually, it was just stewed meat, a variety of beast meat placed in small pots and cooked on a bonfire until tender. In another pot beside it, hot pot was prepared.

Of course, it was Liu Sisi who suggested the hot pot.

Di Yelei was a person who could endure hardship and work hard, and there were many stoves and firewood at home. He directly brought over a stove, set up the pot, added the prepared hot pot base, and wanted to eat whatever was in it.

The hot pot base was prepared by Liu Sisi herself, while the truly laborious task of washing and cutting the ingredients for the hot pot was left to them.

Knowing that Liu Sisi’s body was not well, Guihua and Xin had come over early to help, working together with Liu Zhi’er in the kitchen, full of laughter.

Di Elderly’s old face was also blossoming with laughter today, walking around from time to time, adding charcoal and firewood to the earth stove and brazier, making the room warm.

“Eh? Xin, where’s your mother-in-law and Second Sister-in-law? Why haven’t I seen them?”

Guihua wasn’t afraid to offend people and went straight to the point.

Xin also had a faint smile on her face at the moment, apparently not at all embarrassed by Guihua’s question: “Mom said she was tired and would come over after a while. As for my Second Sister-in-law, when Cui’er went out, she saw her putting on perfume powder, probably not coming out quickly.”

This made everyone laugh.

“Your Second Sister-in-law is nearly forty years old, right? Still applying perfume powder, really like a spring chicken.” Guihua said without restraint.

“Ahem! Third Sister-in-law, it’s so nice here, so many green vegetables even in this weather. Look, mung bean sprouts, yellow bean sprouts, Chinese chives, buk choi… it’s really amazing.”

Xin hurriedly changed the topic.

“That’s right? Can’t you see how capable your Third Sister-in-law is!”

Guihua was very pleased with herself.

Liu Sisi, who was leaning to one side, could not help but lower her head shyly.

As everyone was talking, Ms. Wang, with Ms. Zhao in tow, stepped into the yard.

For a while, Ms. Zhao cried every day in front of Di Residence’s gate, attracting the attention of the villagers. Later, she suddenly disappeared and calmed down, which really gave the villagers something to talk about after dinner.

Now that Ms. Zhao was back at the gate of Di Family, she pretended to be innocent, but her eyes were searching for the presence of Elderly Mr. Di.

Unfortunately, Elderly Mr. Di, who had been standing at the doorway of the hall adding firewood, turned and walked into the inner room as soon as the two women entered, so Ms. Zhao’s smile didn’t have time to unfold before it cracked.

Liu Sisi hurried forward: “Sisi pays her respects to Mom and Second Sister-in-law. Today, Sisi’s body is not well, so she cannot take care of everyone properly. I hope Mom can forgive Sisi’s shortcomings.”

Ms. Zhao immediately made a long face, using the opportunity to vent her anger.

“Oh! How uncomfortable can it be? As if no one else has ever been pregnant or had children! So much fuss just because you’re pregnant? Is it really worth such a grand celebration?”

Liu Sisi pursed her lips and gave a shallow smile: “What mother said is… My body is not well, and the doctor in the town said that the fetus is unstable and asked me to be careful. I also said that this matter is not worth making a big fuss over, but Yelei thinks that the addition of a new member to the family is worth celebrating, which is why we’re having this event today.”
