Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Borrowing Money, Liu Sisi’s Worries
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Di Yelei picked up the cutting board, placed the glutinous rice dumplings on it, and couldn’t help but space out as he picked up the kitchen knife.

The sound of his mother’s nagging still came from the other room, making Zuo Xingyu’s heart heavier and heavier.

He couldn’t understand how, in the blink of an eye, the little woman he didn’t care about at all, didn’t take seriously, and casually abandoned had suddenly changed and was instantly radiant!

Just like a blooming plum blossom in the cold, ice-cold and jade-pure, she stood alone against the cold.

It was also like a mysterious orchid in the valley, suddenly unfolding her unique and beautiful colors, dazzlingly beautiful.

Involuntarily, people were drawn to her and gradually fell for her.

He was no exception!

Since seeing this little woman again, her shadow had been haunting his mind all the time, refusing to leave.

That little woman originally belonged to him, but… but in the end…

No! He won’t regret this!

His big hand tightly gripped the kitchen knife.

Zuo Xingyu had never done something that made him regret it, including this matter, and he would never allow himself to regret it!

Only when a sudden pain came from his palm did he realize that the handle of the knife in his hand had been broken into several pieces, deeply embedded in his palm, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Outside, his mother’s nagging still continued.

“…Just listening to that woman’s voice makes people feel particularly comfortable. If she could really marry you, even just talking with me would be a pleasure.”

“My old bones might become soil any day now. If such a lovely girl really became my daughter-in-law, maybe in less than a year, this old woman could have a grandson…”

“Enough! Stop it!”

Zuo Xingyu couldn’t stand the anger in his heart anymore and roared furiously!

It scared his mother quite a bit. A moment later, she fumbled her way over to the kitchen.

“Yu Er, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so angry today? Did something upset you outside?”

Looking at his mother staggering into the kitchen, a wave of remorse washed over Zuo Xingyu – he had actually lost his temper at his own mother!

He wiped his face and said softly, “It’s nothing! I just remembered that I still have some unfinished business. I’m going to take care of it now.” Then, he practically fled the kitchen!

“Yu Er, where are you going? When will you be back? Yu Er…”

He shut out the cries coming from behind him and rushed out of the thatched hut.

He looked back at the low, humble thatched houses that made broken wind-like noises as the snow blew, and a sense of inferiority rose in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Xingyu looked around, suddenly feeling as though there was nowhere for him in this big world.

The snow falling from the sky intensified!

The ice and snow mixed with the wind, making him shiver all over and feel as if he had lost control of his hands due to the cold.

The few people rushing home at the moment were taking three steps and then slipping, braving the wind and snow as they moved forward.

Zuo Xingyu’s words gave Liu Zhi’er hope, but at the same time plunged her into deep conflict. She struggled to lift Da Mao up and walked forward silently.

She initially felt that having earned several taels of silver before the year, the amount was not small and could be saved for Da Mao to get married in the future.

But suddenly there was news of San Mao, and giving up the search was truly too difficult for her!

Even if she were to search for San Mao, the 500 taels of silver were also a big problem.

Even if her younger sister’s husband was willing to lend her the 500 taels of silver, she might not be able to repay it in her lifetime after borrowing it!

Torn between options, her worried look naturally fell into Liu Sisi’s eyes.

Liu Sisi also found it extremely difficult to walk, her feet were so frozen that they didn’t feel like her own anymore. She worried about falling, so she specifically broke off a tree branch to support her. Seeing her second sister looking sad at the moment, she hurriedly spoke to distract her.

“Second Sister, you must also know how Zuo Xingyu treated me back in the day. We don’t know much about him, even if you go with him, be extra cautious, don’t be deceived by him, alright?”

Although it seemed that the other party would not do anything inhumane, men’s desires always came suddenly, and she really couldn’t rest easy about Liu Zhi’er being together with Zuo Xingyu.

But Liu Zhi’er next to her mistakenly thought that Liu Sisi was talking about not being deceived by money, and immediately nodded.

“Don’t worry, Sisi, your second sister knows!”

Liu Sisi wanted to say a few more words, but she thought of the shadow that Old Man Li had left on her and stopped speaking.

Liu Zhi’er, on the other hand, thought more deeply and made a secret determination. Once they found the two children, she would repay this silver by working like an ox and horse for her little sister for the rest of her life!

Everyone, weighed down by their own concerns, slipped and slid their way back home.

Once they got home, Liu Sisi didn’t bother to freshen up and dragged Di Yelei into the room to take out the silver.

“Second Sister needs to save San Mao and she has no silver. I plan for us to help out with this silver. Then have her write an IOU, as for when she’ll be able to repay, nobody can say for sure.” “I had the same idea, the child needs to be saved first.”

Di Yelei considered things more comprehensively: “As for this silver, if she can repay it in the future, then she will. If she can’t, we’ll just treat it as if we earned a few hundred taels less last year. What do you think?”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Mm! It’s fine like this, but the IOU still needs to be written. Whether we can get the money back is another matter! The reason I insist on her writing an IOU is actually to guard against that shameless Dong Chang!”

As she spoke, Di Yelei nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes! It’s necessary to guard against this person. Didn’t I cripple his other hand the other day? I thought he had really passed out, but when I went to check him out within half an hour, he was long gone. I’m afraid even his fainting was feigned.”

“He’s such a despicable man! That day, he should have had his legs broken too!”

Liu Sisi gritted her teeth with hatred: “After selling his own flesh and blood, he still made us help him find people without saying, and also made us worry and toil. If I see him again in the future, I, Liu Sisi, will beat him every time I see him to see if he dares to come again!”

As they spoke, they took out the 500 taels of silver from inside, put away the small box that held the money, and then left the room to find Liu Zhi’er and handed her the silver.

At the same time, they also informed her of the decision they had made.

“Yelei and I share the same sentiment, and the reason we write an IOU is to guard against Dong Chang plotting against the children again, so don’t overthink it.”

Liu Zhi’er shook her head non-stop, tears rolling down continuously: “No, I understand! I am already grateful and weeping for you lending me the money, how could I possibly overthink it… ”

“Rest assured! For this silver, I, Liu Zhi’er, will try my best to repay it even if it means my death!”
