Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 168: Chapter 166: Framing

However, the more she, who was not good at swimming, struggled, the farther she was from the shore, and she choked on several mouthfuls of river water.

“Ah! Help!… Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law!”

Di Wei burst into tears. As soon as she cried, Ying’er and Xuan’er beside her also started crying.

Liu Sisi was also frightened!

Staring blankly at her struggling in the water, she obviously had not recovered from the sudden change in front of her. She couldn’t swim either, but she couldn’t think about it at the moment.

“Help! Someone fell into the water! Help!”

Liu Sisi’s shrill voice rang out far away. The people who were fishing by the riverside immediately gathered around.

Leading the way was naturally Di Yelei. As soon as he reached the shore, he jumped straight into the water to save her without saying a word. At this moment, Di Ruoning had no more strength to struggle, and her body was gradually sinking. Di Yelei moved quickly, and in no time at all, he had carried Di Ruoning’s body and saved her from the water.

“Cough… Cough! ——”

Huddled in Di Yelei’s arms, Di Ruoning coughed desperately, her messy hair clinging to her face.

Her clothes clung to her body because of the water, revealing her curves, but she didn’t notice, shivering in a ball, burying her head in Di Yelei’s arms, and sobbing loudly.

“What happened? How did she fall into the water? Ruoning, are you alright?”

Yuan Mengbai finally arrived and immediately changed his expression upon seeing Di Ruoning in Di Yelei’s arms. He quickly took off his own clothes to wrap Di Ruoning’s body and tried to take her from Di Yelei’s arms.

“Ruoning, don’t cry! Let me see if you’re injured anywhere.”

She was a pregnant woman after all!

What would they do if something happened to her!

Di Ruoning crying heartbreakingly: “Third Sister-in-law, how could you… do this… I… Woo Woo!”

As soon as she said this, the faces of everyone present changed! Their eyes were all focused on Liu Sisi.

Could it be that Liu Sisi… had pushed Di Ruoning into the river? Everyone filled in the story in their heads.

Liu Sisi’s face turned black at once!

She quickly realized that Di Ruoning was deliberately framing her!

Di Yelei and Yuan Mengbai also had the same expressions, both black with a hint of green, focusing their gazes on Liu Sisi.

“Little Sister, don’t speak like a child and only tell half the story. I know you’re blaming Third Sister-in-law for not jumping into the water to save you, but Third Sister-in-law is really not good at swimming. If she really jumped in, it’s uncertain whether everyone would have to save another person instead!”

Liu Sisi’s eyes were heavy, and her mouth spoke indifferently, but she didn’t give in.

What a joke! If she wanted to frame her, she had to see if she was willing to be framed first!

Everyone’s changed expression eased a bit, thinking that it made sense. If someone who couldn’t swim jumped into the river to save someone, it might not only involve another person but also fail to save the person in the end.

“No! I’m not blaming Third Sister-in-law… Cough, cough! It was Little Sister who angered Third Sister-in-law just now; she turned and left… Ruoning wanted to chase after Third Sister-in-law, and accidentally… accidentally…”

Di Ruoning coughed violently again, as if she was choking, unable to speak.

She seemed very afraid of Liu Sisi, instinctively avoiding her gaze, and burrowed even deeper into Di Yelei’s arms!

Her words and actions only attracted more attention to Liu Sisi from everyone present.

Everyone unconsciously imagined numerous scenarios, letting their minds run wild.

Indeed, she could really act! With such acting skills, she should be an actor in the modern world. Liu Sisi’s heart burst with laughter!

“Ruo Ning! Ruo Ning, what’s going on with you? Are you okay?”

Yuan Mengbai forcefully pulled at Di Ruoning’s arm, trying to drag her out of Di Yelei’s arms, but had no success after several attempts.

He couldn’t help but stand up angrily, glaring at Liu Sisi.

However, when faced with her pure and clear eyes, his aura instinctively softened.

“Third sister-in-law, what is really going on?”

“It’s Third sister-in-law’s fault. Yesterday, I only made braised fish and steamed egg custard to treat Little Sister and brother-in-law! Little Sister scolded me, I should have just taken it for the sake of the child in her womb. How could I get angry and walk away because she scolded me for ‘showing off outside and stirring paste at home’? It’s all Sisi’s fault…”

She looked tearful, tears swirling in her eyes, but they never fell.

Times were hard nowadays.

Poor families work in the fields all year round for a living. The lives they live are very limited.

When a married daughter returns to her brother’s home, to be greeted with two meat dishes should already be considered very good. Yet, she actually used such words to scold people. It was simply too much!

With that in mind, everyone couldn’t help but discuss it amongst themselves, staring angrily at Di Ruoning lying in Di Yelei’s arms.

Di Yelei, meanwhile, was softly comforting his little sister in his arms, lightly patting her on the shoulder to comfort her.

At the news, his entire body stiffened, and his face immediately changed! Also changing his expression was Yuan Mengbai next to him.

“Little Sister, don’t be sad. Be careful of the child in your stomach. Sisi, hurry up and apologize to Little Sister!”

Di Yelei raised his head and glanced at everyone.

Liu Sisi suddenly became stubborn! What did she do to apologize to her? None of the things that happened was her fault.

“Apologize to her? For what?”

In the midst of this, she began to cry: “I know! You always say I’m young and ignorant! At home, it’s okay for you to hit me, scold me, and torment me every day, but now so many people are here, even your siblings, shouldn’t you leave me some dignity no matter how dissatisfied you are with the food I cooked yesterday? I…I can’t live like this, just let me die!”

As she spoke, she plunged headfirst into the river.

“Sisi, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Di Yelei roared angrily! The veins on his face throbbed!

This girl was actually wronging him! When did he ever hit her or scold her? Has their home ever been so poor that they couldn’t even afford food? She was clearly trying to slander him on purpose!

He wanted to stand up but was held back by his little sister in his arms.

Yuan Mengbai next to him was anxious! Desperate, he reached out to grab Liu Sisi’s clothes: “Third sister-in-law, don’t do this! This is Ruo Ning’s fault. Please don’t lose your emotions.”

Joke! He knew his family very well!

Although Ruo Ning seemed gentle and weak, she was actually very stubborn. For their third sister-in-law with her gentle and weak nature to get the best of her, it would be very difficult.

“Let go of me, brother-in-law! Let me die! I’ll go jump into the river like others, it’s easier to die like this. So at least I won’t have to suffer again tonight…wah wah wah…”
