Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 759 - : Is This the Only Requirement?

Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Is This the Only Requirement?

“Aren’t you Lei? No, you are Lei…”

The old man pointed at Di Yelei with trembling fingers, taking a long while to speak clearly.

“My name is Di Yelei, but sir, who are you?”

Di Yelei looked at the old man in front of him, not remembering having known him before, momentarily hesitating whether to attack or not.

Zhang Liang was also stunned! What was going on now?

“Master, what is …what is going on here?”

Zhang Liang was also confused by the situation!

The old man became even more agitated, trembling all over: “Do you live in Upper Village? Isn’t your dad’s name De Fu?”

“Yes, old sir, do you know my father?”

When Di Yelei saw the old man say his father’s name, he didn’t dare to neglect and hurriedly performed a fist greeting.

“No mistake! You are Lei, I never imagined you would be so grown up now…”

The old man could not stop his tears from flowing down his cheeks, and in two steps, he came forward and directly grasped Di Yelei’s arm, shaking it nonstop.

“Lei, I am your big brother, I am Di Hongyuan!”

Big brother Di Hongyuan!

Di Yelei was suddenly struck by lightning!

Inside the Di residence, Liu Sisi was worrying over an account book.

Outside, the wind was whistling, making business in various parts of the city no longer as good as before, especially after the bloodbath last night in the east, many shops on the street had closed their doors, no longer doing business because shopkeepers were afraid for their own lives.

And the new official salt shop opened by Liu Sisi was also in the east, unable to escape this misfortune.

When Mrs. Ran came to talk about the matter, she also had a helpless look on her face, as the shop was opened in her name. Now, seeing all the dead servants, they had to hurriedly bury them and allocated funds for their families.

But with this incident, the shop could not continue to operate, and the two partners would have to settle their money after dissolution.

Since things had come to this, Liu Sisi simply closed the remaining shops, moving all the items inside to hidden places. Especially the things like grain, they were secretly transported away.

After taking care of everything, Liu Sisi returned to the Di residence, exhausted. Guihua was waiting in the hall.

“Sisi, you’re finally back! Di Gaoyuan has taken the people of the second family branch and left Macheng County, destination unknown. I originally wanted to tell them about Uncle Di’s illness, but they left before dawn yesterday. I didn’t even get a chance to meet them, and they didn’t say when they would be back.”

“Is this true? Did you go and see for yourself?”

With the whereabouts of Ms. Wang unknown, Di Gaoyuan dared to leave Macheng County at such a critical time, without leaving a hint of information for himself and others, what was he up to?

Guihua had a look of contempt on her face: “How could I not have gone to see? Neighbors said that Di Gaoyuan sold the family’s ancestral house and all the land for 100 taels of silver, asking for cash on the spot. He even signed a letter of final Declaration, stating he would never return.”

“…He even signed the Declaration, it seems that he really doesn’t intend to come back.”

Liu Sisi suddenly remembered the triplet’s 100-day banquet; Di Gaoyuan seemed to have gotten drunk and didn’t return to Upper Village. Perhaps he had sensed the coming war long ago and had left Macheng County in advance…

“I remember when your families split up, the second branch took the lion’s share. Only the third branch, your family, got a few pieces of land and no silver…” Guihua was still nagging away.

“No harm! Since the Second Family has already left Macheng County, it’s fine! We can handle the rest of the matters ourselves.”

Liu Sisi gently held Guihua’s hand: “Sister Guihua, do you blame me for sending Brother Zhang out?”

Guihua was somewhat surprised, but she shook her head: “Brother Zhang is someone who has always been eager to help others and stand up for justice all his life. He treats Brother Ye Lei as his real brother. How could he stand by and watch his brother suffer?”

“Yes! Good brother!”

Liu Sisi tightly held Guihua’s hand, realizing that the word brother is not just determined by blood relations!

“How is uncle Di? Did you find Old He?”

The smile on Liu Sisi’s face dimmed: “No…”

“Don’t be sad, everyone’s life has birth, old age, sickness, and death. Uncle Di had such an outstanding son like Brother Ye Lei in his lifetime; he can definitely smile in death!”

“I hope so!”

Liu Sisi raised her head and sighed, her father was hanging on to his last breath just to see Ye Lei one last time, right?

Hopefully, Ye Lei could return in time!

Inside the Flying Horse Hostel.

In the tent, wine and dishes were prepared once again, but this time the person sitting in the main seat was Zhao Yuanlang.

After several days of fleeing, now Zhao Yuanlang, who had a careful clean up and put on new clothes, seemed noticeably thinner, but it did not diminish his True Dragon Emperor’s demeanor at all!

“My courtiers, please sit down! Everyone, sit. It has been hard for you all to follow me all the way, and your contributions to my protection deserve credit. Let’s not talk about other things for now, just fill your stomachs first.”

“Thank you for your Majesty’s grace!”

Everyone responded together, and then they sat down to eat their food. The whole tent was quiet, with no sounds heard.

Di Yelei looked at his eldest brother Di Hongyuan, and even now he hadn’t recovered from this ordeal. Maybe it was the psychic connection between the two brothers; Di Hongyuan also just happened to look over and gave him a faint smile before burying his head to eat his food again.

Zhao Yuanlang naturally saw the two’s eye contact and laughed casually, but in his heart, he had a higher opinion of the old Taoist.

This old Taoist’s divination is really amazing!

He was even able to make calculations without leaking any information, but he didn’t know what else this kind of person needed.

Not until his stomach was full, did Zhao Yuanlang put down his chopsticks and looked at the old Taoist.

“If it weren’t for the great help of everyone present and the assistance of Master Taoist, I would not have been able to escape smoothly from the ambush set by that Zhao Dun scoundrel. I fear I would have lost my life in this vast land!”

The old Taoist was still gnawing on the chicken wing in his hand, and he didn’t put it down when he heard it. Instead, he looked up at the other party: “Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that you and I had a bet.”

Zhao Yuanlang sighed for a moment before he answered: “It was my mistake to not recognize a talented person like you, and to sully you with a bet. I just don’t know what Master requires. As long as I can manage it, even if it requires the power of the whole nation, I will definitely do it for Master Taoist!”

The old Taoist’s eyes flashed, and then he sneered: “You don’t need the power of the whole nation. Your Majesty just needs to promise me that after you suppress the civil strife, you will build a Taoist temple for me in the south of the Capital. As for the location, I will choose it myself.”

“Is that all you ask?”

Zhao Yuanlang obviously didn’t expect the Taoist’s request to be so simple.
