Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: To recognize one’s mistakes and correct them is most commendable!
 

“It’s… Yuan Mengbai!” Madam Thirteen repeated.

Liu Sisi was dumbfounded, and it took her quite a while to recover her lost tongue: “It’s actually him…”

Suddenly, she recalled that day in the carriage when she saw a woman who looked extraordinarily similar to Di Ruoning, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye, thinking she was seeing things.

Now thinking back, it was most likely her that she saw.

Three days, not long but not short either.

For the people of the Di family, every moment was heart-wrenching counting the days.

Old He examined YingEr every day, starting with five times a day, and then gradually decreased. As time went on, Liu Sisi finally saw Old He’s actions to administer the medicine clearly.

He directly inserted three silver needles, and YingEr’s mouth opened wide. Then, the liquid medicine was poured directly into her mouth, and when the silver needles were pulled out, the soup went into YingEr’s stomach. Watching this made Liu Sisi’s heart ache for quite a while.

Old He seemed to know what she was thinking, and he coldly glanced at her: “There’s a blood clot in her head, which compresses her brain channels, combined with her serious injuries causing her unconsciousness. If the medicine isn’t administered this way, would you rather wait for her to die when the medicine proves ineffective?”

His words made Liu Sisi break into a cold sweat, and she hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Fortunately, as the number of times Old He examined YingEr decreased, her condition gradually stabilized.

Three days later, YingEr finally woke up from her coma.

There were many matters in the barracks, and the affairs in the governmental office left Di Yelei with a headache. Di Yelei hurriedly returned home after resolving the pressing public affairs.

“Old Cheng, Old Cheng! Where’s Madam?”

Old Cheng emerged from somewhere: “Your Honor, Eldest Miss has already woken up, and Madam is accompanying her in the room. Would you like to go in and have a look?”

YingEr had already woken up? After four whole days, YingEr finally woke up!

Di Yelei was overjoyed! He immediately hurried to YingEr’s small courtyard.

At the doorway, Di Xuan was kneeling with his back bare, tied with a thorny twig by a rope, straight-backed in front of YingEr’s yard door.

He had been kneeling for two whole hours.

When Di Yelei rushed over, he naturally saw this scene and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Xuan’er, what are you doing?”

Di Xuan didn’t turn his head: “Dad, it’s my fault, so many times, I almost caused mom to miscarry, and this time YingEr suffered so much. I…”

Before he could finish his words, tears flowed from his eyes.

The careful Old Cheng approached from the side: “Second Young Master has been kneeling here for two hours.”

Kneeling for two full hours, it seemed that Sisi inside must know. But she didn’t come out to stop him, and the meaning behind it…

“Alright, you step back! And tell the servants in the courtyard to leave as well.”

“Yes, Old Master.”

Old Cheng didn’t ask why, and just quickly stepped back.

Only then did Di Yelei approach Di Xuan’s side.

“Get up.”

Di Xuan didn’t move: “I came to beg for forgiveness! Mother was right, if a father doesn’t teach his child, it’s his failure. Even Mother Meng had to move three times. Please, father and mother, punish Xuan’er!”

After saying this, Di Xuan forcefully began to kowtow.

“Fine, very well! Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish.”

Di Yelei suddenly spoke, and before Di Xuan could react, he had violently whipped the thorny twig off of Di Xuan’s back and swung it towards Di Xuan’s back.

“For not learning well at such a young age! For not taking good care of your younger sister as an elder brother should! For not making progress…”

With each hit, he listed one of Di Xuan’s offenses.

He actually knew Di Xuan’s mistakes already, but since they were not too severe before, he didn’t take them seriously. It was only after YingEr suffered so much this time that he could no longer tolerate it.

He had initially thought to wait for some time, to wait until YingEr’s condition stabilized before addressing it. Unexpectedly, today the other party had willingly showed up for punishment, so he naturally took action.

As the thorny twig fell, a bloody mark appeared. Although Di Yelei avoided hitting any lethal spots, he did not show any mercy.

After striking three times and seeing the three bloody marks on Di Xuan’s back, Di Yelei could no longer bring himself to continue.

“Di Xuan, do you admit your mistakes?”

“Di Xuan admits his mistakes! Di Xuan is willing to accept the punishment!”

Di Xuan’s teeth were clenching with a creaking sound, and after those heavy three hits, his entire back was burning with pain, and he could barely keep himself from collapsing.

“Where did you go wrong?”

“Di Xuan was wrong to be jealous of the child in Mother’s womb and to act against Mother, wrong to instigate YingEr to betray Mother’s trust, and Xuan’er was wrong!”

Di Xuan cried painfully, but enunciated his words clearly.

“Good! To recognize one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue! You will always be my Di Yelei’s good son, and you are my pride!”

He suddenly threw the thorny twig far away and bent down to help Di Xuan up.

With a gentle face, he patted Di Xuan’s back: “The reason why I hit you is to make you remember your words today and not to make the same mistakes again. Some mistakes can only be made once and never again, and if there are three, it would be intolerable! Have you remembered that?”

“Yes, Dad! Xuan’er has remembered.”

“Go now!”

“Thank you, Dad, for fulfilling my request.”

Watching Di Xuan’s staggering figure, Di Yelei sighed: “Xuan’er has finally grown up!”

In the room, Liu Sisi seemed to have not heard the commotion outside at all and was feeding YingEr the medicine little by little. YingEr used to hate the bitter taste of medicine, but this time after waking up, she accepted it all without any resistance, drinking every last drop.

“YingEr is a good girl, when you get better in a few days, Mom will make you delicious food again, alright?”

With tears in her eyes, Liu Sisi smiled and refused to let them fall.

Old He’s words echoed in her ears: “She has three broken ribs, which I have reset. The bleeding in her skull is not serious, and the child is young, so she can gradually recover on her own. The most severe problem is the internal bleeding in her abdomen. It is caused by her ruptured spleen. The child is too young, and although I managed to save her spleen with a needle, her immunity will be much lower than that of other children of her age…”

She was just a six-year-old child, yet she had to suffer so much pain!

YingEr forced down the bitter medicine, and after moving her lips several times, she softly called: “Mom.”

“Ah, Mom is here! Don’t be afraid, YingEr. Mom is with you and will always be with you, YingEr, be a good girl…”

The rest of her words turned into tears and rolled down her face.

YingEr closed her eyes and after a long while lifted her small hand. Liu Sisi quickly grasped it: “YingEr, do you want something or want to eat something? Mom will go get it for you, Mom will find it for you… YingEr!”

YingEr took several deep breaths, and it seemed even this movement drained all her strength.
