Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Pearl shook her head gently, but she couldn't hide the smug look on her little face.

"My sister and I were taught by my father. He learned to read and write from my grandmother since he was young, and later he went to school for several years."

When talking about that grandmother, Pearl's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"My grandmother is amazing. I heard from my father that she has read countless books. Everyone in the family has learned to read and write from her. My eldest sister's beautiful handwriting was taught by my grandmother. It's a pity that I didn't catch up."

Liu Siyu heard Lai Xi talk about that legendary woman.

Judging from Zhenzhu's appearance, she is probably a book fan. Suddenly I understood why this little girl is so different from others.

Although Pearl worships her deceased grandmother, she never forgets to flatter her father.

"Although my father did not pass the imperial examination, his handwriting is very beautiful. He wrote all the couplets in the village."

Yucui seemed to be dissatisfied with this old father and curled her lips slightly.

"What's the use of just being able to write couplets? You can't tell the difference between the five grains, you can't work hard, and you still need your mother to support you."

Pearl was a little unhappy, "How can you say that about daddy?"

Yucui's smile seemed a little unnatural.

"I didn't say anything, but I prefer my elder and second brothers, who can read and write, and can manage the household chores in an orderly manner."

"sister……"

Liu Siyu looked at Lai Xi with joy. No wonder she felt that this boy was different from ordinary farm boys. It turned out that he was a well-educated man.

Lai Xi saw her looking at him and smiled slightly.

It seems to be saying, you made the right choice by coming to this home.

While the two were staring at each other, Laicai just happened to look up and saw them.

A scrutinizing look flashed across their faces.

Liu Siyu turned around hurriedly, fearing that Laicai would say something embarrassing again.

As I analyzed the sisters' dispute in my mind, the mystery in my heart gradually became clear.

Perhaps it was because Yucui didn't like studying very much, and she was also a straightforward person, so she felt even more sorry for her hardworking mother.

The long-term pressure gradually made her develop a hedgehog-like personality.

I looked up and saw that everyone else looked as if they were used to it. I thought to myself that maybe this kind of thing happens often.

Xiaocao saw that the two sisters were about to argue, so she quickly changed the subject.

"What do you think of the color combination of my lotus?"

The old lady took the flower bubble from Xiaocao's hand and commented with a smile.

"The embroidery is nice and the colors are bright. Is this for a pillow?"

Xiaocao nodded shyly.

The old lady gave Xiaocao a meaningful look, and handed the flower to Yucui, "You two can take a look too."

Yucui looked at the lotus bud that was about to bloom, and the lotus leaves next to it were also bright green.

She immediately forgot the unhappiness in her heart and said with a smile, "It's really beautiful. Brother-in-law Boren will definitely like it after seeing it."

Pearl also pondered over it carefully. "It is beautiful, but lacks artistic conception. It would be better if a few words were embroidered on it. How about asking Big Brother to write a few words for you?"

Yucui rolled her eyes at her.

"You don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense. How can I let my eldest brother write about this? It would be more interesting if I let my brother-in-law Boren write it."

Xiaocao blushed suddenly.

Ximei felt a little unhappy and felt a bit unfair for Xiaocao.

"I really don't know what Liang Boxen meant. He was fine in previous years, but this year when I gave him a New Year gift, he didn't even drink a sip of tea before saying he had something to do and left."

"It's already the 14th day of the first lunar month, why hasn't anyone come to pick Xiaocao up to celebrate the festival?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but look towards the door.

Yu Cui Er got anxious when she heard this, "What? He hasn't come today. Shouldn't he have come yesterday? Could it be that he has other intentions?"

Although Xiaocao forced a smile on her face, she could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.

The old lady patted her quickly.

"Cui, you are more anxious than the grass. Maybe you are delayed by something. Besides, it is difficult to walk on the road with such thick snow outside. It doesn't matter if you come a little later."

Although Yucui meant well, she realized that she couldn't say that directly, so she immediately laughed it off.

"I am anxious to see my brother-in-law..."

If this had happened under normal circumstances, everyone would have laughed. However, it was already noon and Liang Boren was still nowhere to be seen, so everyone felt a little heavy.

The bustling main room suddenly became much quieter. Even when Yucui and Zhenzhu went back to eat, Liang Boren's figure still hadn't appeared.

In the afternoon, Liu Sihan arrived. After some polite exchanges from the Tian family, Liu Siyu directly pulled Sihan out of the yard.

"Didn't I say I would come back when you enrolled? Why are you here today?"

Liu Sihan stared into her sister's eyes, fearing that she would be unhappy.

"Sister, don't be angry. Mom and I want you to come back for the Lantern Festival."

"You want me to go back for the holidays, right?"

Liu Siyu exposed it mercilessly.

A trace of pain flashed across Sihan's eyes.

"Don't you want to celebrate the festival with us? Don't you want me and mother anymore?"

Liu Siyu didn't expect Sihan to be so obsessed with family affection, and it also made him angry with his little head, thinking about these sad things all day long.

He raised his hand and tapped him hard on the forehead.

"When did I say I didn't want you guys anymore? And why don't I want to go back for the holidays? Don't you know?"

It wasn't that she didn't want to go back for the holidays, nor was it that she didn't care about that home. She simply didn't want to worry about Grandma Wolf's family.

Qin Feng will definitely punish their family severely, and then Grandma Wolf will definitely come to the house to beg for mercy.

Wang only had the small amount of money she gave to Qin Feng, and the fine she imposed on Qin Feng was just a drop in the bucket.

What would she do if Wang came to her for help? Just give it to her. She didn't want to waste a single penny on that.

If I don't give it to her, I will definitely have an unpleasant argument with Wang. Rather than being caught in a dilemma, it is better to out of sight and out of mind.

She knew that Liu Sihan must understand this as well.

Liu Sihan's eyes darkened and his tone was full of embarrassment.

"I know that what mom did was wrong last time, but she really changed this time. Last night, my grandmother's family came to our house to beg for mercy, but mom really didn't give her a penny."

Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Did you really not give me a single penny?"

"Yes," Liu Sihan answered decisively this time.

"My grandmother and my uncles had a scene at home and then left, saying that she would never come again."

Liu Siyu couldn't help but sneer, wishing those people had the backbone to do so.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess what Wang is thinking.

That family must be asking for too much. Wang weighed the little money she had at home and felt that even if she gave it all, it would not be enough to satisfy those people's appetite.

Instead, it will give them hope that they can squeeze out more oil.

Her family runs a small business selling fermented bean curd and rice wine. If her family members do anything weird again, Liu Siyu will definitely walk away and never care about them again given her personality.

Even if Sihan doesn't leave her, there will be a huge gap between them. Rather than letting the family fall apart, it is better to harden her heart.

She simply didn't give a penny, completely cutting off the family's thoughts, and also letting Liu Siyu see her determination.

After all, they are family.

Sihan and Siyu are the true blood relatives.

After understanding Wang's thoughts and seeing the expectation in Sihan's eyes, my heart softened a little.

"You go back first. I will definitely go back the day after tomorrow."

"I heard that Zhang Zhiyuan is also studying with Master Wei. I will tell him to take care of you and don't let that kid bully you."
