Chapter 298: 298: Who Failed Whom? The Cruel Truth
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
Everyone over here was eating cooked dishes, while Liu Sisi and Liu Zhiâer stared at each other.
Old Man Li hadnât been brought back, and Liu Sisi didnât know what to say.
âWhy arenât you speaking? Werenât you very talkative this morning?â In the end, it was Liu Zhiâer who spoke first.
Liu Sisi raised her head and glanced at her, âWe are always sisters. Like I said, I donât remember what happened in the past, so why do you have to be so sarcastic and mocking?â
At this remark, Liu Zhiâer choked, the mockery on her face gradually receding as she looked at Liu Sisi and said nothing.
Liu Sisiâs words were heavy, âEven if we had disputes when we were back at our parentsâ home, so what? If Second Sisterâs life isnât good, could I, being the younger sister, still be proud of it?â
Her words changed Liu Zhiâerâs expression, who suddenly covered her face with her hands and began to sob again.
âSecond sister! Old Man Li is dead! Let all the past events go with his death! Letâs look forward and live our lives, okay? Second sisterâ¦â
Liu Sisi moved forward a couple of steps, fearing to startle her, and slowly hugged her as she sobbed, âSecond sister! Second sisterâ¦â
âSisiâ¦â
Liu Zhiâer took the opportunity to hug her, and the two sisters cried together.
After crying together, the initial estrangement between the sisters disappeared, and the two wiped away each otherâs tears and laughed together.
âCome, the floor is cold, letâs sit on the head of the bed and chat.â
After all, Liu Zhiâer was the second elder sister, and her first reaction was about caring for her younger sister. They lay side-by-side on the head of the bed, looking at each other with relief.
âSisi, youâve grown up. Compared to me, who is a second elder sister, you are more like an elder sister now.â Liu Zhiâer gently stroked her hair and sighed.
âSecond sister, how old are you this year?â
âWhy did you suddenly think of asking this question? Second sister is old, 18 years old now, and two years older than you.â Liu Zhiâer was thoughtful.
Calling herself old at the age of 18?
Diagonal lines filled Liu Sisiâs head!
She was too embarrassed to say that she had lived a full 23 years in her previous life, although most of them were spent in school, that she was much older than Liu Zhiâer.
âBut Iâm married too, where can I still be considered young?â
Liu Sisi hurriedly retorted.
Liu Zhiâer thought for a moment and laughed!
âYes, Sisi is married too! I still remember the last time we sisters had such a conversation, and it was before I got marriedâ¦â
As soon as the past was mentioned, the smile on Liu Zhiâerâs face disappeared.
Liu Sisi thought for a moment and hurriedly shifted Liu Zhiâerâs attention, âSecond sister, do you know the inside story of my marriage? I heard from others that I had a previous marriage contract, but how did I get involved with⦠someone else and then get married to the Di family?â
She had always wanted to ask this question, but she had been unable to find anyone who knew the inside story.
âAre you talking about your thing with the young man from the Zuo Family? That arrogant jerk dumped you. You donât have to bother with him. Anyway, you two wonât meet again in the future. Youâ¦â
âWait, wait, wait⦠Second sister, what did you just say? You mean, Zuo Xingyu dumped me?â¦â
Liu Sisi was so surprised that she pointed at herself!
Zuo Xingyu dumping her, how is that possible? Werenât they bothâ¦
Liu Zhiâer snorted coldly, âWell, of course! Not to mention that Zuo Xingyuâs family is poor, but he got a job as a constable in the government office and naturally looked down on our humble household! I donât know much about the details, but I know that he came to you first and asked you to take the initiative to end the marriage. When you didnât agree, the situation was quite intense. Dad called my elder sister and me back because of this, and thatâs how I came to know about this.â
âSo⦠there was such a thingâ¦â
Liu Sisiâs brain couldnât react to it at all! The truth of the matter was too cruel, her brain malfunctioned, and she couldnât accept it.
She had always thought that the original owner had voluntarily ended the marriage, which was why she had been so apologetic to Zuo Xingyu and wanted to avoid him!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
No wonder!
No wonder Zuo Xingyuâs expression was so strange at that time! He must have been constantly mocking her in his heart, right?
As she thought about it, Liu Sisiâs mind filled with anger. That damned Zuo Xingyu was as insidious as the first impression he gave her!
âWhat about me that he didnât like and wanted to end the marriage?â
This was said with gritted teeth by Liu Sisi!
âWhat else could it be? Itâs just that he fancied Lord County Magistrateâs daughter! Heâs delusional about rising to the top in one step. Little did he know that the County Magistrate wouldnât even look at him and married his daughter to his direct boss. Haha! He ended up with nothing in the end on both sides.â Liu Zhiâer said mockingly.
Then, turning her head, she said, âBut you swore to marry into a wealthy family and live a good life to piss him off! Not long after, I heard that you and Zhang⦠got together.â
âWhat do you mean âgot togetherâ? Second sister, do you even think of me like that? When I married into the Di family⦠I was a pure and innocent girl.â
Although this was embarrassing to say, Liu Sisi understood that this reputation couldnât be easily messed with.
A look of surprise flashed in Liu Zhiâerâs eyes. Apparently, she did not expect Liu Sisi to be stillâ¦
âWhy didnât you say that at the time?â
âWhat can I say? I donât remember the past. How can I know?â Liu Sisi was helpless too.â
Based on what her second sister implied, the original owner probably took the initiative to seduce the so-called Businessman Zhang!
Itâs no wonder that Zhang whatâs-his-name said that she had changed!
Liu Zhiâer thought about it, nodded, and shook her head, âI havenât been back to my motherâs home for a long time. If it werenât for Li⦠that jerk mentioning you, I wouldnât even know you had gotten married. My home isnât peaceful either, Iâ¦â Her words carried much regret.
Liu Sisi couldnât help but get angry!
âSecond sister, do you still recognize that home? Theyâve treated you like this. How can that be considered as having any affection for you? Youâ¦â
Liu Zhiâerâs expression darkened, her eyes grew red again!
Liu Sisi choked on the second half of her words, unable to say anything!
Liu Zhiâer quickly turned her face away, struggling not to cry out loud, âIâve come to this point, who else can I follow?â
âWho to follow? Naturally, itâs finding someone who truly loves you! Youâre still so young, thereâs no need for you to lay your heart so bare for someone like him who lacks hands and a conscience!â
Liu Sisiâs words were heavy!
She hated seeing such compromising women the most!
If Di Yelei dared to treat her like this, she would have kicked him away and looked for someone else!
Even if her thoughts were too shocking and unconventional for this time, she didnât want to be as wronged as Liu Zhiâer!
