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

There was a hint of doubt in Lidong's eyes. He had made his words so clear, and he really couldn't understand what else Liu Siyu had to say.

Lixia smiled.

"Okay, you can say whatever you want. My brother is a straightforward person, so don't bother with him."

"Seeing your grandma today reminded me of my grandmother."

Liu Siyu slowly and leisurely narrated the story of Old Mrs. Qiao's greed, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Wang listened, her cheeks felt a little hot, and she pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly.

Liu Sihan came up with a great assist.

"Sister Liu doesn't know that my grandmother married my sister to a dying old man for money."

Liu Lixia's surprised eyes were full of sympathy. "Then, then what about Sister now..."

When she saw Liu Siyu combing her hair like a new bride, she wondered if Liu Siyu had already married the old man.

Liu Siyu opened her thin lips slightly, and said in a clear voice, "Do you think I am a submissive person?"

Lixia and her brother were stunned. They had seen how tough Liu Siyu was, but marriage was a matter that was not something a girl could decide on her own. No matter how strong she was, she could not be stronger than the concepts of this era.

For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.

Liu Siyu raised the corner of her mouth, as if she could hear Lixia's inner struggle.

"I will definitely not give face to those who dare to plot against me. I will just chop the matchmaker with a knife and now I have severed my relationship with my grandmother's family."

Lixia and her brother were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground, "Break, break off the relationship..."

"A vampire like that, kissing constantly, do you still keep him as an ancestor to support him?"

Liu Siyu spoke these outrageous words nonchalantly, as if she was talking about today's weather.

Lixia's heart skipped a beat, as if the door to a new world had opened. If only their family could also break off relations...

"Sister, what should we do?"

Liu Siyu brushed the hair at her temples playfully, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Every family's situation is different. As an outsider, it's not easy for me to get involved."

The subject suddenly changed.

"From what your grandmother said, your father passed away not long ago. I have also experienced the pain of losing a loved one, but I still hope you can cheer up. If you indulge in pain all day long, your father would be heartbroken in his grave."

Lixia's expression became a little unnatural after hearing this, but she didn't feel sad at all.

To them, "Dad" is just a name with no substance, a synonym for something more terrifying than the devil in hell.

But she couldn't say these words in front of outsiders, so she just responded politely to Liu Siyu's concern.

Lidong was much more direct. When he mentioned his father, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

"I'm not sad. Our lives were harder when he was here. Now that he's gone, no one will beat my mother anymore."

Liu Siyu looked up curiously.

"What's going on?"

Lixia was a little hesitant. As a daughter, it was difficult for her to accuse her father in front of outsiders.

Lidong didn't feel embarrassed at all.

It turned out that Yuan's hometown suffered a flood and life became difficult, so her parents sold her home to the Liu family.

The two sons of the Liu family were both attracted by Yuan's beauty.

The old lady was not happy about this and would beat and scold Yuan at every turn. The second son secretly defended her twice.

Yuan was so grateful that she hoped to grow up quickly so that she could escape from the old lady's clutches after getting married.

When they first got married, the second brother was quite protective of her.

The eldest sister-in-law made things difficult for her at every turn because of her husband's evil intentions, and the old lady was also fanning the flames. Although the second son did not have the courage to confront his family, a few words of comfort behind the scenes made the desperate Yuan regain hope in life.

But with the birth of her daughter, Yuan's life fell to the bottom.

The second son of the Liu family was originally a young and naive person. He was very unhappy when he saw that the baby was a daughter. With the instigation of his mother and eldest sister-in-law, he punched Yuan like a storm.

This made Yuan, who was already trembling with fear, even more cautious. She worked hard all day and didn't even dare to breathe.

When Lidong was three years old, a butcher coveted Yuan's beauty and instigated his second son to gamble. If he lost money, he could only use Yuan to pay off his debts.

Although Yuan was as timid as a mouse, she always kept in mind the belief that a good woman should not serve two husbands, and she would rather die than surrender.

The second son got so angry that he used Yuan as a punching bag. When the old lady heard this, she also felt that Yuan was ungrateful and was fanning the flames.

In a fit of rage, Liu Laoer almost killed Yuan. The six-year-old Lixia begged the clan leader to save her mother's life, but Yuan went crazy after that.

The old lady couldn't do anything about a madman, so she treated her grandchildren like slaves. Besides beating and scolding them, she didn't even let them eat the most basic grain porridge or wild vegetable porridge.

The villagers couldn't bear to see this and felt very sorry for the mother and her two children. They often asked each family for help, and that family gave them a little help. Only then did the mother and her two children barely survive to this day.

A few days ago, the second child accidentally fell to his death after getting drunk. The siblings thought that God had mercy on them and they could finally live a normal life.

But unexpectedly, the old lady had no intention of letting them go.

When Wang heard this, she felt full of sympathy for Yuan. They were also sold by their natal families, but the difference was that she was obviously luckier.

Although she was treated coldly by her husband, he never hit her, and her mother-in-law never treated her harshly. She felt very distressed about what happened to Yuan.

"Siyu, we..."

She really wanted to help the brother and sister, but when the words came to her lips, she saw Liu Siyu's calm expression and had to swallow them back.

Liu Siyu glanced at Wang and did not respond to her words. Instead, she looked at Liu Lixia.

"I sympathize with your situation, but as an outsider, I can only do so much to help you."

Then the conversation changed.

"If one day you figure out the path you want to take, if you really encounter difficulties, you can come to me."

The path you want to take?

There was a hint of confusion in Lixia's eyes. Did she really have the right to choose the path she wanted to take?

Lidong seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness. Liu Siyu's words of breaking off the engagement were like a bright lamp, lingering in his heart.

Perhaps only by getting rid of the exploitation of the old lady and their uncle's family can they truly live the life they have always dreamed of.

On the way back, Wang seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

Liu Siyu's heart was as clear as a mirror, but she pretended not to see it.

Si Han asked, "Mom, do you have something to say?"

Wang looked at the silent Liu Siyu, and finally mustered up the courage to ask the question in her mind.

"Siyu, how do you want to help them?"

Liu Siyu turned her head slightly and her eyes moved across Wang's face.

Wang suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know since when she became less and less confident in front of her daughter.

"I'm just asking casually, if you don't want to tell me, forget it."

Liu Siyu smiled slightly, like a blooming spring flower.

"Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, but it depends on whether they are worthy and whether they have the determination to stand up."
