Elderly Mr. Di was obviously taken aback, his face appearing puzzled. He was apparently somewhat unable to process what Ms. Wang was saying.

“What did you just say?”

He had already heard what she’d just said, but he asked subconsciously.

Ms. Wang became anxious! If she failed to complete her task, who knows what might happen when she returned.

She hurriedly said, word by word: “Mom, she crawled on her knees and bowed six times at each step towards the grave of her former mother-in-law. She said she wanted to apologize to Cousin. Father…”

Liu Sisi lowered her eyes and didn’t speak; instead, a crescent moon-like curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ms. Wang actually went through with the idea she’d given her! It seems that she really did have some feelings for Father, and she even went this far to win back Father’s heart. Impressive!

But then… whether there was any effect, just like she’d said at the beginning, depended on how ruthless she was to herself!

Liu Sisi lifted her head and looked at Ms. Wang across from her. From her expression, it seemed that Ms. Zhao had indeed gone through with it, being as ruthless to herself as she was to others!

“Father, do you want to… go and see? If you want to go, I can have Old Cheng take you back.”

Liu Sisi tentatively tested elderly Mr. Di’s bottom line.

Elderly Mr. Di didn’t seem to expect Liu Sisi to ask this question. He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head uncertainly.

“I won’t go back! She deserves it, she should suffer!”

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the hall with his crutch, leaving behind a stooped figure for everyone to see.

Liu Sisi swept a glance at Ms. Wang, didn’t bother with her, and turned to leave. Ms. Wang hurriedly called out to her.

“Third Sister-in-law… hehehe.”

Upon seeing Liu Sisi turning back, the words that Ms. Wang wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and she could only let out a series of awkward laughter.

Liu Sisi frowned, suddenly thinking of something. “It’s rare for Second Sister-in-law to come all this way. Today, Second Sister-in-law came to the small town. Did you buy a residence and plan to propose to Di Cheng?”

These words immediately made Ms. Wang shrink back subconsciously, as if her tongue had been taken away by a kitten.

“Third Sister-in-law, you must be joking. You know the situation of my family. Where can we get that so quickly…”

“Is that so! Then Second Sister-in-law, you better hurry up. You’re waiting, Di Cheng’s waiting, but I’m afraid the bride’s side might not wait. If they really find a suitable candidate and settle down, I’m afraid it’ll be too late for Second Sister-in-law.”

Liu Sisi’s face was full of mockery.

Did she not know what Ms. Wang was up to?

If it weren’t for Di Cheng’s sake, she wouldn’t have bothered with this kind of person.

“What? Didn’t they say that she and Cheng’er had feelings for each other?” Ms. Wang was shocked!

“Pfft! Who told you that?”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, “This woman is top-notch in both looks and family background, otherwise how could she demand such a high price? The main thing is that she wants to recruit a husband into her family. Otherwise, the matter would have been settled long ago.”

Of course, this information was the result of Liu Sisi’s careful investigation.

There were only two blacksmith shops in the small town, and one of them was the shop she visited last time to order a pulley, owned by Ironsmith Wan. He had only one daughter named Wan Qifeng, nicknamed Feng’er. He had also taken on an apprentice, planning for him to marry his daughter when he grew older.

However, plans don’t always work out, and daughters can’t be completely controlled by their parents!

At the age of twelve, Feng’er declared that she would choose her own husband and didn’t want a blacksmith! Even if she couldn’t find one, she would rather remain unmarried for a lifetime and inherit the blacksmith’s mantle.

The reason for her remark was targeting the apprentice!

Ironsmith Wan naturally wouldn’t allow Feng’er to be reckless, and the father and daughter argued for several days. In the end, they made a bet that if Feng’er could learn to forge and create a good knife by herself within a month, Ironsmith Wan wouldn’t interfere with her marriage.

Ironsmith Wan was confident in his gamble! Feng’er had never even touched a hammer before, how could a twelve-year-old girl possibly do it?

What he didn’t expect, however, was that Feng’er had been exposed to the craft since she was young. Although she had never wielded a hammer herself, she was naturally strong and learned all the steps of knife making!

Once the knife was completed, Ironsmith Wan intended to renege on the bet. However, Feng’er casually picked up the small knife and cut in half the one Ironsmith Wan had forged…

Since then, the real person in charge of the blacksmith shop has been Xiao Feng, and her ‘elder brother’ also married a wife three years ago. The couple also had a little boy and lived happily together…

“Really?” Ms. Wang was also a bit tempted.

“The blacksmith shop is just over there, don’t you see it? But, it’s said that Feng’er rarely shows her face in front of the shop. She mostly manages accounts in the backyard. If you go there, you probably won’t see her.”

Liu Sisi said coldly, almost speechless at Ms. Wang’s behavior.

“Oh, nevermind! The money is ready, and I’ve found a matchmaker recently and checked out a suitable house. As long as we agree on the price, we’ll propose at the latest by the end of the month…”

“That’s for the best. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly, and nothing goes wrong.” Liu Sisi’s words carried a subtle warning.

Ms. Wang agreed but secretly planned to take a detour to inspect the place later. However, she wouldn’t tell Liu Sisi, and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way! The village has been buzzing recently about Shou Hou having an affair with a beautiful woman, and they were caught red-handed by Miao Cuihua. Instead of repenting, Shou Hou asked for a divorce. Do you know about this?”

“What does it matter if I know? What does it matter if I don’t?” Liu Sisi had no interest in the issue.

But Ms. Wang couldn’t help sharing the story, “It’s funny! Cuihua was adamant to commit suicide by hanging herself, but the hemp rope couldn’t bear her weight and broke into two pieces. Shou Hou was both frightened and angry and declared that if she died, he would just bring the woman from outside into the house. That stopped the drama. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“I think you’re the one who’s ridiculous!”

Liu Sisi scolded her mercilessly, “Why don’t you think about the feeling of people laughing at our Di family? Never mind, there’s no point talking to you. Just go and take care of mom.”

Although Ms. Wang wanted to say more, she saw the displeasure in Liu Sisi’s eyes and took her leave.
