When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already brightened.

The sky in winter was always gray and hazy, and the view outside could not be seen through the window.

After waking up from her sleep, Liu Sisi felt that her spirits had improved significantly, and then she got up and dressed.

As soon as she heard the movement inside, Liu Zhi’er called through the grass curtain: “Sisi, are you awake? The medicine is ready and warmed by the bonfire. You should drink it before doing anything else. Later, it’ll be just the right time for breakfast.”

After tidying up her clothes and stepping out, Liu Sisi looked around and saw Di Xuan sitting in the hall, meticulously reciting his lessons, while Elderly Mr. Di was leaning on his crutch, lovingly looking at him.

On the other hand, YingEr and Da Mao were playing in the courtyard, chasing the half-grown chicken all around, causing Ah-Huang to bark wildly. It was quite lively!

After grooming herself, Liu Sisi drank the medicine and adjusted her appearance before picking up the bowl for breakfast.

The porridge was fragrant white rice porridge, and the dish was pickled vegetables and pickled turnips. It was a little bit spicy, with a hint of sweetness and sourness, which was delicious. It made Liu Sisi’s appetite surge, and she ate a large bowl.

“When I was pregnant with Da Mao, I didn’t have an appetite at all. All day long, I wanted to eat pickled vegetables. I didn’t know what you wanted to eat, so I just prepared some according to my taste at the time. I don’t know if you’ll get used to it.”

Liu Zhi’er was sewing a shoe sole on the side, and the cotton thread in her hand was pulled taut with extraordinary speed. Liu Sisi stared in amazement!

“Second Sister, you are amazing! How did you do this?”

Heavens! How did she do it with such speed… How did she manage to pierce through that thick shoe sole?

“You’ll get used to it once you’ve practiced enough.”

Liu Zhi’er looked up and smiled before burying her head again to continue the work in her hands.

Liu Sisi looked and saw a pair of pear blossom white satin shoes, which seemed to be for a little girl.

“Are these shoes for YingEr?”

“That’s right! I saw YingEr has a pear blossom white dress, but the peach-pink shoes she usually wears with it don’t match well, so I thought I’d make her a pair of shoes with this satin. Besides, there’s some leftover cloth pieces, so it’s perfect for making shoes.”

Liu Zhi’er bit off the thread in her hand and picked up another strand of cotton thread to thread the needle.

“I… I can’t use needle and thread now.”

It took a while for Liu Sisi to finally stutter that out.

“What happened?”

Liu Zhi’er continued her work and casually asked.

Liu Sisi silently finished the food in her bowl and then cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks before coming back.

“I don’t know what happened. After the high fever that one time, I became rusty and forgot how to do it. I don’t know if I accidentally injured something during that time, but… I just suddenly forgot.”

“Well, if you’ve forgotten, then so be it! Old people often say that when a woman gets married, it’s like being reborn. Whether it’s good or bad depends on the marriage. Sisi, you married into a blessed family. Second Sister…”

As Liu Zhi’er spoke, her movements slowed down.

“Second Sister, you’ve been given a new life too! You and him are divorced, so you’ll no longer be tied to each other in the future. When your injuries heal and Lunar New Year passes, I’ll go to the matchmaker to help you look around.”

Liu Zhi’er smiled and shook her head: “Second Sister has already let go of such concerns. I don’t care about them anymore. What I’m worried about are Er Mao and San Mao, these two children…”

“Don’t worry! There will be good news from Ye Lei!”

“I hope so.”

Liu Zhi’er didn’t raise her head as she spoke.

Recovering a sold child who also doesn’t remember their family because of their young age – how difficult could that be?

Liu Sisi had nothing more to say, so she sat for a while and then went to the hall to supervise Di Xuan’s homework.

Not long after, Guihua arrived and saw Liu Sisi standing fine, clearly relieved.

The two chatted and laughed for a while. Shortly after, Ms. Xin also came.

Ms. Xin brought a small embroidery frame with her and started gossiping as soon as she sat down.

“Wasn’t it the Laba Festival the other day? My mom was nagging Second Sister-in-law about celebrating, and accidentally knocked her knee. She’s still in bed now and hasn’t gotten up.”

Guihua smirked: “Oh my, has your Di family been neglecting to burn incense lately? First, Sisi injured her ankle, and now your Second Sister-in-law hurt her knee. Who have you offended, some door gods or something?”

No one in the room spoke up, but everyone knew how troublesome Ms. Wang could be.

She and Ms. Zhao, her daughter-in-law, were like needle against awl, always at odds.

“What was the fight about this time?” Liu Sisi asked casually.

“Ha! What else could it be? It was still about the previous issue between my father and mother-in-law. Second Sister-in-law brought up the old grudges between my mother-in-law and her former mother-in-law, and said that my father would probably ignore her for a lifetime. Then, the two started quarreling.”

Ms. Xin described the situation very lightly, but the smirk on her lips seemed to imply that the situation was much more severe than she described.

Liu Sisi caught on quickly, suspecting that the real situation was much worse than Ms. Xin had described.

Faint scents wafted from Ms. Xin’s body. Lately, Liu Sisi had been feeling unwell, and her nose was extra sensitive. After smelling the scents for a while, she started to feel dizzy and couldn’t handle it anymore.

“My head feels heavy, you guys continue chatting, I’m going to lie down for a bit.”

Without waiting for everyone’s consent, she went straight to lie down.

“What’s wrong with Third Sister-in-law?” Ms. Xin asked, looking confused. freёwebnovel.com

“Oh, nothing much. She’s just pregnant and feeling nauseous.”

Guihua couldn’t help shaking her head: “Sisi is having such a strong reaction and still has a long time to go. It looks like she’s going to suffer quite a bit.”

“Third Sister-in-law is pregnant?”

Ms. Xin’s face suddenly changed, and she seemed agitated.

Liu Zhi’er, who was busy sewing embroidered shoes, also laughed: “That’s right! The baby’s only a few months along, so she needs to be well taken care of. This morning, she didn’t have much appetite, but she drank a large bowl of pickled cabbage and plain rice porridge.”

“Well, congratulations to Third Sister-in-law.”

Ms. Xin’s face was rather pale, but after chatting for a moment, she excused herself and left.

As soon as Ms. Xin left, Guihua spat: “That Ms. Xin is full of the scent of the theater. Even though she’s been away for so long, she still hasn’t gotten rid of it. What a sin!”

She especially despised those theater people, who always talked one way and acted another.

“I think she’s alright. However, she does act rather independently when she talks and does things.”

Liu Zhi’er couldn’t help but interject from the side.

“You’re still defending her? Ah! Wait until you’ve spent more time in the Upper Village, and you’ll naturally understand the inside story.”
