Chapter 191: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game

Liu Siyu looked wronged.

"God and heaven are my conscience, how can I instigate others to break off the marriage for no reason? When you forced my family to come to see the bride, I just said that if Lixia married, she would be a member of our Liu family. You can't come to my house all day to blackmail me, making my family so chaotic that we can't live."

"You promised to stay away from me for the sake of ten taels of silver, so I agreed to come here."

"I just came to see you today, but you, seeing that my granddaughter is sick, are afraid of spending money to treat her, so you immediately made a scene of breaking off the engagement. Aren't you just trying to cheat me out of ten taels of silver? I haven't even made a conscious decision about the person yet, how can I be easily fooled by you?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "I have lived in the village for half my life. Do you think I have lived in vain?"

Then he grabbed Zheng's hand and said, "She is the matchmaker. She came to my house yesterday. Many people in the village saw her."

"Isn't the matchmaker here to propose marriage? Is he just visiting?"

Dahuo's eyes swept back and forth between Liu Siyu and the old lady's faces, trying to figure out from their words who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Zheng was very unhappy about being dragged away. She broke free from the old lady's hand and rubbed it in disgust, as if there was something disgusting on her hand.

"Auntie, you have to have evidence for what you say. I have been in this village for decades and have never been a matchmaker. The whole Yingshan Village knows this. I came here with Siyu yesterday because we were going to the market in town and wanted to take a convenient ox cart."

"Siyu said she was worried about her family's savior and came to see me. I just came along to join in the fun. How did I become the matchmaker you mentioned?"

There was a family that was related to Yingshan Village and knew Zheng a little bit. To be honest, she couldn't stand Mrs. Kang's domineering behavior the most, so she immediately stood up to testify.

"I can prove this. I have relatives in Yingshan Village, and I have never heard of her being a matchmaker for anyone."

Seeing the excitement of today, the others also became interested and gathered around.

"Mrs. Kang, if you don't believe me, why don't you go to Yingshan Village?"

"Not everyone can be a matchmaker. You have to leave a certificate with the government, you can't just say it."

Someone who had seen the world immediately responded.

Liu Siyu smiled even more and said to the old lady:

"Xiawa Village is really full of hidden talents. Did you see that? We are all sensible people. If you want to prove it, go to the government and complain. If Aunt Zheng is really a matchmaker, we will naturally bear the consequences."

"On the other hand, if you make a false accusation, I will not show mercy."

The old lady's eyes narrowed, thinking of what Liu Siyu said last time, that Captain Qin was her brother and he had connections in the yamen, so why would she go to court to sue him?

The only thing you can do is throw a tantrum.

But no matter how noisy they were, Liu Siyu only said one sentence.

It is impossible for her family to marry a sickly man. The most important thing is that the old lady used the following means to deceive her and would never agree to this marriage.

In the end, the old lady and her daughter-in-law not only lost face, but also lost the right to exploit the second son's family with filial piety.

Under Liu Siyu's deliberate misleading, the onlookers angrily accused the Liu family's eldest brother and his family.

They were accused of exploiting others in the name of being their saviors and forcing them to enter into this marriage.

Finally, seeing that his granddaughter was sick, he was afraid that she would die and he would not get any money, so he simply used the excuse of breaking off the relationship and tried to cheat ten taels of silver from her.

Such a heartless person is a disgrace to Xiawa Village...

Seeing that the two families had severed their ties and Lixia and her family were driven out of the house by the old woman, Liu Siyu expressed deep sympathy for the mother and her three children.

And told everyone specifically.

In order to repay the kindness of saving her brother, Liu Siyu was willing to take the three of them away from Xiawa Village.

Everyone was deeply moved by what he said.

When Liu Siyu left Xiawa Village with Lidong Lixia and his crazy mother, many people came to see them off.

Especially the patriarch of the Liu clan, his heart ached when he saw the two pitifully small packages on the ox cart.

He said to Liu Siyu: "I know that you are a good person. Regardless of whether Xia girl can get better, I am here to thank you for your kindness on behalf of Lidong's family."

Liu Siyu responded politely, saying that it was only a drop of kindness and should be repaid with a spring. Lixia saved her brother, and she would definitely find the best doctor to treat Lixia.

Not only was the Liu clan leader deeply moved, but even the people who came to see him off were deeply moved.

"The Liu family is really kindhearted. If it were someone else, they would not be able to hide."

"Good people will be rewarded. This sentence is fully reflected in Xia girl. Miss Liu is so good, she will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Everyone was talking at once, and without exception they all praised Liu Siyu's kindness.

The old patriarch nodded frequently as he listened, took out 100 copper coins from his pocket, sighed, and handed them to Lidong.

"My dear child, this is all I can do for you. When you return to your benefactor's home, you must change your temper and learn to be grateful. Don't let the kind-hearted person feel disappointed."

Seeing this, the others expressed their intentions, some giving three coppers and others giving two coppers.

Lidong's stubborn eyes were filled with mist and he quickly pushed the money back.

"Grandfather, uncles and aunts, I, Liu Lidong, have received your kindness. If I succeed in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

He said this and bowed deeply.

Lixia was also moved to tears. She and her two daughters were able to survive to this day thanks to the help from the villagers. She kept all the words of gratitude in her heart.

He also bowed deeply.

Seeing the ox cart leaving Xiawa Village, Lixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally getting rid of the old woman and uncle's family who had been exploiting them, and leaving the suffocating Xiawan Village, Lixia felt that even breathing was so free.

Although they had lost their only shelter and didn't know what the future would hold, they couldn't help but feel joy in their eyes and brows.

I turned around and saw that Lidong’s brows were still furrowed, and I thought he was worried about the future.

He gently persuaded her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. We have hands and feet, and life won't be any harder than it was in Xiawa Village."

After hearing this, Lidong felt a trace of heartache in his eyes.

"Sister, how are you feeling now? The bullock cart is bumpy, why don't you lean on the baggage?"

Lixia suddenly realized that Lidong was worried about her condition.

Wan'er smiled.

"I'm fine now. Did I scare you yesterday?"

Lidong shook his head, thinking that his sister was comforting him, and tears of guilt welled up in his eyes.

"It's all my fault. I'll take you to see a doctor when we get to town. The money I have should be enough to buy you some medicine."
