Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

According to custom, in such a situation, their own husband must be present to make the decision.

But at this moment, Di Yelei obviously cannot make it back. What should they do?

On the other side.

Di Yelei is also anxious.

As soon as he descends the mountain, he rushes straight towards Macheng County.

On the way, he encounters a former constable colleague. Although they had already passed each other, he turns around and runs back in front of him.

The other man looks at him for a moment before dismounting his horse and greeting him with a fist: “Eh? Isn’t this Lord Di? Why are you running so fast today?”

“An emergency, I need to borrow your horse! I will definitely return it another day!”

Without any further words, Di Yelei jumps onto the horseback and rushes toward the county.

“Lord Di, Lord Di! Now that you took the horse, how can I work today? Hey! Hey…”

Behind him, the cries of the constable have long been left behind by Di Yelei. All he has in his heart is one thought!

Hurry!

Faster, just a little faster!

Only a little faster, and he will make it!

Elderly Mr. Di’s hesitation only serves to make Old He angrier!

“Old man Di, your family’s prosperity today cannot be separated from Sisi’s efforts. Should anything happen to Sisi, I, Old He, can assert that within three years, your Di Family will be ruined!”

Not to mention, if something really happened to Sisi, the person on the Black Dragon Mountain would be the first to not let Di Family off, let alone the young heir thousands of miles away!

Elderly Mr. Di grits his teeth and slaps his thigh hard!

“Alright! I, Old Man Di, will break the rules and reach into my son’s backyard to manage things. I’ve decided, keep the child! There are already two children, that’s enough, really enough…”

Elderly Mr. Di’s voice trembles. In this era where children are more important than anything, it’s really hard for him to make such a decision!

“Well done! Old man, I knew you wouldn’t let me down!”

Old He slaps Elderly Mr. Di’s shoulder forcefully, genuinely happy for him.

His gaze is exceptionally firm: “Rest assured! Even if the King of Hell wants to snatch someone from my hands, he has to see if I, Old He, am willing to let go!”

“Enough! Don’t waste any more time, go in quickly!”

Now that the decision has been made, Elderly Mr. Di feels somewhat relieved, as if he has put down a heavy boulder. He could not help but smile.

With a square headscarf covering his face, Old He enters the delivery room under the guidance of the midwife.

He calms himself and begins to diagnose by the thread hanging from Sisi’s wrist.

Elderly Mr. Di waits anxiously in place, his heart inevitably torn, unable to calm down. Suddenly, there is chaos outside, followed by someone’s exclamation.

“It’s the old master! The old master has come back, the old master is back! The old master is back!”

“The old master is back! It’s the old master…”

Liu Zhi’er also hears the call and, with a joyful heart, chokes as she whispers to Liu Sisi’s ear: “Sisi, Sisi, did you hear? The brother-in-law has returned! He finally made it, he is back…”

Bang!

With no prior warning, the door of the delivery room is forcibly slammed open from the outside, and Di Yelei’s figure appears in the doorway.

“Old Master, men are not allowed in the delivery room, please leave…”

“Let go!”

Di Yelei directly shook off the midwife who was trying to pull him away and slammed the room door shut as he strode forward and knelt at the head of the bed.

“Sisi, I’m sorry, I came back too late. Sisi! Sisi…”

His whole body was trembling, as if witnessing a nightmare replaying before his eyes. His outstretched hand was obscured by the tears in his eyes, making it difficult to focus.

“Sisi, you promised me, we would grow old together, never leave or abandon each other! Sisi, you must keep your word. Sisi…”

His fingers finally touched her face, cold without any warmth, chilling like a dead person’s.

Unable to restrain himself, he fiercely embraced her in his arms, tears streaming down ceaselessly.

“Sisi… You can’t do this, Sisi… You can’t just leave like this, you promised me, Sisi…”

He couldn’t hold back the tears any longer, crying bitterly.

A grown man, crying like a child, tears and snot mixed together.

Males possess tears that they do not shed lightly, only when grief has reached its peak!

“Ye Lei…”

A faint, barely audible call.

“Si, Sisi?”

Di Yelei wiped away his tears, staring intently at the tiny woman in his arms, unwilling to even blink. Afraid that one blink would make him lose her.

“You finally came back, Ye Lei…”

Liu Sisi’s lips moved gently, soft words slipping out from between them.

Yet, even this faint voice, barely audible, sounded like heavenly music to Di Yelei at this moment!

He held her tightly, crying and laughing: “Thank goodness! Thank goodness you are alive, you are still alive! Haha… Thank goodness, wuu… Thank goodness!”

Sisi looked at him with hazy eyes and couldn’t help but reveal a charming smile on her face. She moved her fingers gently in response.

He had returned. He finally made it back!

At her most desperate moment, he appeared by her side like a knight in shining armor, accompanying and embracing her.

There had never been a moment as blissful and peaceful as this one!

With a dreamlike smile upon her face, Liu Sisi struggled to move her lips: “Ye Lei, you’re finally back. I… am so happy…”

But her voice was so faint that no one could hear her clearly.

Only Di Yelei, who was so close, could make out her lip movements.

“Hey! I say, shouldn’t you let her go now? You’re holding her so tightly that you’ll hurt the child in her stomach. Besides, how am I supposed to administer the acupuncture?”

Old He, standing beside them, intruded inappropriately with an unsympathetic expression.

Affection ought to be shown at the right time and place. Was this situation suitable for an intense display of love? They were in the middle of childbirth after all!

These words finally brought Di Yelei back to his senses. He quickly assessed the situation and immediately laid Liu Sisi back on the bed.

“Old He, thank you for your efforts today. If there’s anything I can help with, just say the word.”

“Well, actually, I need your help right now. Quickly take me to Sisi’s side so I can administer the acupuncture!”

Old He secretly lamented. He had already checked Liu Sisi’s pulse just now; there was no heartbeat from the remaining child in her belly – it was clearly a stillbirth.
