Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Ms. Xin Begs, Sisi’s Soft Heart Saves People
Perhaps it was this matter that stimulated Liu Sisi. After she had checked all the account books, Shou Hou still didn’t show up, and she lost interest in staying longer.

“If Shou Hou comes, tell him that it’s me who said this: if he still wants to do this job, do it seriously! If he’s really too busy to work, go back earlier and rest! This bookstore can’t afford such a big Buddha!”

Blunt words but not blunt reasoning; this is running a shop, not playing around.

Di Cheng agreed repeatedly: “Cheng’er will pass the message on to Shou Hou.”

Leaving the bookstore, Liu Sisi walked along the street. As she passed by the blacksmith’s shop, she went inside and bought several suitable knives: a kitchen knife, a letter opener, a fruit peeler, and a boning knife. Then she left to head home.

Not long after leaving, she was attracted by a figure by the roadside and stopped.

Not far in front, Ms. Xin was dressed in a peach-pink dress, holding a light yellow paper umbrella, adorned with large, bright red peony flowers that caught the eyes of passers-by.

She had been standing by the roadside for quite some time, and her clothing outside the paper umbrella was soaked.

She seemed to notice someone behind her, and as she turned her head, she happened to meet Liu Sisi’s gaze, which was slightly panicky. Nevertheless, she smiled at Liu Sisi.

She timidly called out, “Third Sister-in-law…”

It was raining and snowing today, and as soon as it fell on people, it immediately melted.

Liu Sisi pushed open the yard door and walked in. Closing the paper umbrella, she casually placed it under the eaves and called out to Ms. Xin behind her.

“Just leave the umbrella here and come in to talk!”

Ms. Xin’s gaze shifted slightly, taking in the entire small courtyard, as she placed the umbrella down and stepped into the yard.

In the room, Liu Sisi looked around and saw no one. She grabbed a towel and wiped her hands, then took a kettle off the brazier, filled a cup of tea water, and placed it next to Ms. Xin.

“My father-in-law, YingEr, and Da Mao are all in the room. They must have gone to the clinic diagonally opposite again. Are you here to see my father-in-law? You can wait for a moment, and I’ll help you call him back.”

As Liu Sisi spoke, she made a move to go out.

Little Cui quickly stood up and called out to her, “Third Sister-in-law! Little Cui came here specifically to see you today.”

“To see me? I didn’t know that we had anything to talk about.”

Liu Sisi’s mouth twitched, showing a sarcastic smile.

Ms. Xin’s face turned pale, but she still respectfully bowed: “Third Sister-in-law, I… Little Cui is pregnant.”

“Oh? Congratulations! When the baby is born, I’ll definitely prepare a gift to complete the friendship between Ye Lei and his brother.”

The smile on Liu Sisi’s face was bright, but it did not reach her eyes.

“Third Sister-in-law! ”

Ms. Xin’s heart raced, and she could no longer care about the others. She kowtowed, her head hitting the ground with loud thumps.

“Third Sister-in-law, please! Please save Little Cui and the child in my stomach! Please, Third Sister-in-law!”

This action startled Liu Sisi for a moment, but she immediately became angry!

“Ms. Xin! What are you doing like this? If someone who doesn’t know the situation sees this, they might think that I, Liu Sisi, am bullying you, my sister-in-law, because I married earlier! Get up!”

While speaking, she walked over and sat on a chair on the other side, without even reaching out to assist her.

Liu Sisi really couldn’t be blamed for this!

Once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years!

As for Ms. Xin, she really had to be cautious about her now!

Liu Sisi’s actions made Ms. Xin’s whole body tremble, but she couldn’t care about anything else. She crawled on her knees to Liu Sisi’s feet, tears streaming down her face.

“Third Sister-in-law, Little Cui really has nowhere else to turn, so she came to beg you for help. Please, Third Sister-in-law, save Little Cui for the sake of the Di Family’s flesh and blood in my womb! Otherwise, Little Cui and this unborn child may not see tomorrow’s sun! Third Sister-in-law—”

Ms. Xin hugged Liu Sisi’s thigh, crying incessantly.

“How can I save you? Can I save you? Do you want me to offer up my life to be sold by you, so I can save you? Hmph! I, Liu Sisi, don’t have that ability!”

She was not Buddha, she didn’t have the compassion to cut off her own flesh to save an eagle!

“No, no, no… it’s not like that, Third Sister-in-law! Third Sister-in-law, listen to me…”

Ms. Xin hurriedly shook both hands and began to explain the whole story.

“Third Sister-in-law, I admit that when I first came to the Di Family, it was indeed because someone had redeemed me and allowed me to marry into the Di Family. But Third Sister-in-law, I am just an ordinary woman. If there was a chance to escape my sufferings, I naturally wouldn’t want to give it up. After marrying into the Di Family, I’ve also diligently served my husband and respected my parents-in-law. Now, I’m even carrying Ah-Bao’s flesh and blood…”

Liu Sisi’s face remained calm, silently watching Ms. Xin’s excellent performance.

As Ms. Xin spoke, she couldn’t help but cover her belly: “However, once those people learned that my whereabouts were exposed, they took out my indenture contract and forced me back to Yihong Courtyard. I, Xin Shi, am not afraid of death, but Yihong Courtyard is a place where they eat people without spitting out their bones. If those people find out that I am pregnant, I’m afraid they will force me to take an abortion pill without a second thought, I…”

Ms. Xin’s speech became more and more incoherent as she broke down into uncontrollable sobbing on the ground!

“Even so, it’s still your own fault!”

Liu Sisi’s face also turned somewhat pale!

Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that Ms. Xin had touched her soft spot and moved her.

She couldn’t help but touch her slightly protruding belly, completely unable to imagine the feeling of her child leaving her. Just thinking about it made her shudder!

“Third Sister-in-law—I know! It’s my fault, and I deserve to die! But this is a small life too. He hasn’t even had a chance to see the world yet. It’s my fault as a mother that I can’t protect him. If I lose him, I… I won’t be able to live!”

After saying this, Ms. Xin once again fell to the ground, kowtowing with loud bangs.

Liu Sisi reached out to pull her up, but after several attempts, she still couldn’t lift Ms. Xin from the ground.

A stream of fresh blood slid down Ms. Xin’s forehead, but she seemed to feel no pain as she continued to knock her head loudly against the ground.

Liu Sisi closed her eyes. The fresh blood on her forehead inexplicably blended with her dream, the blood-red color constantly spreading…

“Fine! Stop kowtowing, I promise you, I will save you and the child in your belly!”

Liu Sisi finally relented.

The overjoyed Ms. Xin, who had nearly collapsed, didn’t care about the pain anymore and bowed down again: “Thank you, Third Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you…”
