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

Lai Xi saw Liu Siyu's frowning brows and thought she was thinking about what happened yesterday.

"I didn't doubt you last night."

Liu Siyu then remembered Shen Yufang last night, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, I've forgotten all about these trivial matters."

She really didn't take it to heart. Firstly, she had fought back against the other party at that time and didn't suffer much injustice; secondly, such trivial matters were not worthy of occupying her thoughts. She had so many things on her mind now.

The thoughts of these little girls are just a drop in the ocean to her, so how could she take them to heart?

Lai Xi felt a little disappointed when he saw her being so careless. He had thought that Liu Siyu would care about it to some extent!

With a bitter heart, he said, "Do you really not mind that I was once engaged?"

Liu Siyu was slightly stunned. What could she do even if she minded?

Are you going to have a fight with Shen Yufang?

Not minding it actually helped him out, didn't it?

"Do you hope I mind?"

Hope?

Lai Xi undoubtedly hoped for this in his heart. At the moment when the incident happened, he also imagined that Liu Siyu would be jealous, and that jealousy was only for him.

But if Liu Siyu really minds, then their relationship will probably stagnate. From this point of view, he doesn't want Liu Siyu to care too much about those fictitious things.

Faced with this contradiction, he didn't know how to answer Liu Siyu's question.

After a long silence, he felt that he should tell the whole matter.

No matter what the future holds for the two, since Liu Siyu has been involved in this matter, she must be given a reasonable explanation.

"Yufang and I have been engaged since childhood..."

Liu Siyu sat up suddenly and stared at Lai Xi with suspicion. She didn't expect that what those people said was true.

"Then why..."

Why did he agree to her contract marriage?

Lai Xi seemed to know what she was thinking and no longer hid it.

"You know that my grandmother gave birth to three children in total. The oldest one is my uncle, my mother is the second, and the third is my eldest sister-in-law's mother."

Liu Siyu had already sorted out this relationship and was not surprised at all.

Just listen to Lai Xi continue.

"My mother and my aunt got married almost immediately after they did. Their first child was a daughter, and their second and third children were exactly the same, both sons."

"Although my aunt married late, she gave birth to a daughter as her first child. Her mother-in-law was extremely mean. When she saw that she gave birth to another daughter, she would beat and scold her at every turn."

When Lai Xi talked about that poor aunt, his eyes were filled with unconcealable heartache.

Back then, when Shen Yunzhen married Tian Qingshan, the old lady was worried for a long time, thinking that Shen Yunzhen was cowardly and had no opinion of her own, and that she might have difficulty gaining a foothold in her husband's family.

But her daughter liked it, and her husband was extremely persistent for the sake of money, so the old lady had to marry her eldest daughter off with great concern. Unexpectedly, her married life was as sweet as honey.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and began to look for a suitable husband for her youngest daughter.

After careful selection, the youngest daughter was married to a kind family, but who knew that the family turned out to be a wolf in disguise.

The old lady was filled with remorse and could only try her best to support her daughter, even though she was beaten and scolded by her husband every time. But the child was the flesh and blood of the mother, and no mother would bear to see her child suffer.

Later, when the old lady saw that her daughter was so thin during the confinement period that her bones were just skin and bones, she became furious and went to Shan's house and made a big fuss.

With no one to confide in his pain, he could only go to the Tian family to seek advice from his relative, the old lady, who was his think tank.

Tian Tieniu is a remarkable person, and his wife, Mrs. Mo, is naturally no pushover.

Old Mrs. Mo felt that this was not a solution, so she personally took people to visit the Shan family.

Although the property was divided, the Shan family was extremely reluctant and only gave an acre of barren land and a dilapidated thatched house.

Old Mrs. Mo knew that the Shan family was deliberately trying to intimidate her, but she was not afraid at all.

She decided on the spot to arrange a marriage between Lai Fu and Xi Mei, and personally took Xi Mei to the Tian family to raise her.

Without the burden of their children, Shen Yunshuang and her husband devoted themselves to their lives, and within a few years their lives really got better.

At this time, Shen's aunt also gave birth to a daughter. Seeing that her sister-in-law was engaged to the Tian family and their lives were getting more and more prosperous, she was extremely envious.

He then tried every possible means to persuade Shen Yufang to marry Lai Xi.

Old Mrs. Mo knew very well that her eldest uncle in the Shen family was a cowardly person, while her aunt Zhang was a narrow-minded and petty-minded person.

She was worried that her future granddaughter-in-law would not be able to achieve anything under the guidance of such a mother.

So she made the same decision and brought both of her granddaughters-in-law to raise them by her side.

Who would have thought that just after getting engaged to the Shen family, her husband would get into trouble.

Aunt Zhang did not approve of her daughter growing up in a stranger's home, and was worried that the old lady would raise her daughter to be timid.

When she saw that the Tian family was in trouble, she found an excuse to take her daughter home.

At that time, the Tian family still had fertile fields and blue brick and tile houses, so she had no intention of breaking off the engagement.

Later, the old lady passed away, and the Tian family's life went from bad to worse.

She was afraid that the Tian family would insist on this marriage, so every time the old lady wanted to take Yufang to the Tian family, she would try her best to stop them.

The old lady saw through her thoughts and was so angry that she started cursing.

Zhang decided to go all out and deliberately lied that Yufang was unlucky. Since this matter could not be made public, she planned to cancel the engagement.

The old lady was in a dilemma now. Not long after the engagement, something happened to the Tian family. She believed most of what Zhang said.

She then went to her daughter Shen Yunzhen to explain the situation. Lai Xi was also there at the time. Although he was not yet an adult, he had already understood his aunt's thoughts and decisively decided to cancel the engagement.

Seeing that the Tian family had agreed, Zhang immediately arranged for another marriage for her daughter.

Liu Siyu was very confused.

"If that's the case, then why did Shen Yufang make such a fuss yesterday?"

Lai Xi was also puzzled: "I don't understand either. Last year I heard grandma say that she had arranged a good marriage."

Liu Siyu had a feeling that there was something mysterious going on in this matter, but since she had no evidence at the moment, she was unwilling to delve into it further.

He turned his head and stared at Lai Xi's frowning brows, then suddenly changed the subject: "I have something I want to ask you. Please help me with some advice."

Lai Xi quickly put away his doubts and responded, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Liu Siyu raised her hand to support her chin, her fingers gently stirring her long hair, her beautiful eyes slightly turned, and her red lips slightly opened.

"I want to open a wood workshop, but I am alone and powerless. I want to cooperate with Jiu Ye or Manager Han, but I don't know which one is more suitable."

Lai Xi thought about it for a while.

"I think Manager Han is more suitable."

"Why?"

Liu Siyu was curious why Lai Xi had the same inner thoughts as hers.

Logically speaking, Lai Xi has a closer relationship with Master Jiu, so why would he choose Manager Han?

Lai Xi turned his head and looked into Liu Siyu's eyes, which were sparkling like stars and full of inquiry.

The fan-like eyelashes trembled gently on Liu Siyu's charming eyes, and Lai Xi's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly turned his head away, trying to calm his restless heart.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what a loser...
