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

It's not good to say that you won't live long.

Lixia immediately responded, "The doctor said I won't live more than a month."

There was a feeling of regret among the crowd. Looking at Lixia's pale face and her frail body that could be blown away by the wind at any time, some of them couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

"What a miserable girl..."

Sighs came one after another.

No matter how thick-skinned the old lady was, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

Zhuang and the eldest brother of the Liu family looked at each other in secret resentment.

Things have come to this point and there is no turning back. It is better to get it over with quickly so that you can get the ten taels of silver sooner.

He immediately said, "Xia girl, don't talk nonsense. Things have come to this point, just tell me whether it is a break or not."

Everyone's eyes shifted to Lixia's face again.

Lixia coughed violently several times, and a mouthful of blood spurted directly in front of the clan leader, and everyone was horrified.

Sympathy for Lixia rose to a new level, and contempt for the old woman and the Liu family's eldest couple also increased to a new level.

When he looked at them again, there was not only disdain in his eyes, but also deep disgust.

The old woman was extremely anxious, fearing that Lixia would not be able to breathe and the ten taels of silver would be completely wasted. Wouldn't they be asking for trouble by making such a fuss?

He hurriedly squeezed forward and grabbed Lixia.

"Do you agree or not? Can you please give me a straight answer?"

There was a hint of coldness in Lixia's eyes, "Grandma, are you so anxious to kick us out?"

The old woman angrily threw Lixia's arm away and whispered in Lixia's ear: "If you dare to play tricks on me again, be careful or I will sell your mother as well."

Lixia's eyes widened in horror, and she said with trembling fingers: "You have driven my mother crazy, and you even want to sell her to a human trafficker. Do you have any humanity left?"

The old lady raised her hand in anger, but before it could fall, it was grabbed by the man next to her.

"Aunt, don't be impulsive. Look at what Xia girl has become. How can she withstand a slap from you?"

The old woman gave the man a murderous look and pulled her hand back angrily.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved at the beginning of summer, there was no further delay.

She looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma, since you insist on breaking off this marriage, I will just help you."

Then he looked at everyone again.

"Everyone, be a witness. Today, our two families high-five and swear to completely sever our blood ties. We will go back to the old ways and go back to the old ways."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand, ready to give the old woman three high fives.

The old woman was delighted, but still shamelessly made a request.

"After the high-five today, this marriage is off, but my son is still my son before he leaves. After all, those two acres of thin land were given to my son by me, and those thatched houses were also built by me for him. All of these must be left behind."

Before Lidong entered the house, his sister told him not to speak, and he kept it to himself.

But at this point, he didn't want to endure it any longer. It was just a few thatched huts and two acres of thin land. Even if he had to beg on the street, he was willing to break off all ties with the Liu family.

"Take it if you want it. Even if I, Liu Lidong, have to beg on the street, I will support my mother and my sister."

Lixia knew that her younger brother was a strong-willed person, and now was not the time for him to show off.

She immediately burst into tears and said, "We are an orphan and a widow, and we have no one to rely on. Now they don't even give us a place to stay. This is really... really leaving us no way to survive."

Everyone felt that Mrs. Kang had gone too far, and someone immediately stood up to speak up for Lixia and her two children.

"You were the ones who separated the Second Family from the Old Family. Since it was separated, these things naturally belong to the Second Family. Although he is no longer with us, Lidong is the son, and it was decided by our ancestors that he would inherit the family business. Don't break the rules."

Others echoed.

When the old lady saw that everyone else was siding with Lixia and Lidong, she got so angry that she threw a tantrum and insisted on taking it back. In the end, the clan leader had no choice but to make some rules together with the village chief.

The two acres of land belonged to the old lady, but the three thatched houses belonged to Lidong.

Lixia took the opportunity to propose that as long as the eldest wife was willing to pay three taels of silver, these rooms would belong to her, and they would not take anything away except the clothes they carried with them.

Seeing that she couldn't get these houses back, the old lady thought it was not expensive to buy them for three taels of silver. Even if they were demolished, it would still be more than an acre of land, so she would not lose anything.

But she had always been used to exploiting the second house, so she only gave two taels of silver. Lixia gritted her teeth and agreed.

The old lady originally wanted to receive the ten taels of silver as betrothal gift before signing the contract, but the clan leader insisted that she write a document on the spot.

The old lady thought, since she had already discussed this matter with the young lady from the Liu family, it was a done deal and there was no way around it.

He didn't want to discuss it any further, so he just pressed his fingerprint and gave Lidong two taels of silver.

Both parties were happy, but they didn't expect that when they went out, Liu Siyu was waiting outside. Seeing Lixia looking sick, she immediately came forward.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lixia coughed twice and said, "I, I'm afraid I won't live long."

As he said this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

When the old lady saw this scene, she was shocked and immediately stepped forward and hugged Lixia in her arms.

"This child was too excited just now, just go back and rest for a while."

The eldest of the Liu family also stepped forward immediately and said, "I'll take Lixia back to rest."

Zhuang also hurried forward to cover, "Come on, this is not the place to talk, let's go inside and sit down."

Liu Siyu's expression suddenly changed.

"I don't think it's that simple. What my family wants to marry is a lively girl. We won't spend ten taels of silver on someone who is dying of illness."

The old lady got anxious when she heard this, "We have already agreed that as long as the engagement is broken off, this marriage will be finalized."

Liu Siyu shrugged.

"I didn't make any agreement with you. You forced us to say that we had to repay you for saving my life. We had no choice but to agree to come and see you. Even if we were to marry her, she should be a lively girl. But look at the appearance of your granddaughter. How can you lie to me like this? My family is marrying a daughter-in-law, not a corpse collector."

The villagers were still a little skeptical after hearing what Lixia said, but after hearing Liu Siyu say this, they completely believed the old woman's evil heart.

"How wicked! Seeing his granddaughter was ill, instead of giving her some money to hire a doctor, he came up with this rotten idea to extort money from others."

"Not bad at all. You'd better be careful when you get engaged to the eldest wife of the Liu family..."

There was wave after wave of insults.

The old lady and her mother-in-law wanted to scheme against others, but in the end they shot themselves in the foot.

How could she, who has always been domineering, swallow this?

She immediately put her hands on her hips and loudly accused, "You were all deceived by Lixia and the girl from the Liu family. They teamed up to deceive an old woman like me. I just wanted to find a good family for my daughter."

Then he pointed at Liu Siyu.

"This girl said that as long as we break off the engagement, she will immediately pay a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. Now that my granddaughter is sick, she wants to cancel the engagement. There is no such cheap thing in the world."

Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Siyu again.
