Chapter 2 The Temptation of Silver
In the original owner’s memory.
The old woman is not a good person. She sold her daughter so that her son could get married. She used to go to the house to beg for money, but now she has stopped visiting her daughter after seeing that her daughter's life is hard.
When he came to the house again, he used such a sinister trick.
"Don't hesitate any longer. Look at Sihan. He's only 10 years old and is as skinny as a cat. I don't believe that you, as his mother, don't feel bad for him."
"The Huang family promised a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. If she marries into a wealthy family, she won't have to worry about food and clothing. With these ten taels of silver, you can also take good care of Sihan."
Sure enough, the old woman's last sentence successfully captured Wang's heart.
"I will think about it."
Wang's words made Liu Siyu feel cold in his heart.
Silver is a good thing, especially for people who can barely make ends meet, ten taels of silver is a great temptation.
What's more, the original owner was an adopted daughter with whom she was not close.
Anyone would be moved.
Liu Siyu couldn't help but sigh, what kind of fate is this for her?
She clearly remembered that everyone was looking at her ancestral jade pendant, which was an ordinary jade pendant with no special pattern.
The only peculiar thing is that there is a drop of bright red blood in the shape of a teardrop in the middle of the milky white jade pendant, which looks particularly eye-catching.
She was just about to brag to everyone, but somehow, she was inexplicably banished to this barren land and had to face the fate of going to get married.
Thinking of the jade pendant, Liu Siyu subconsciously touched her chest and found an identical jade pendant.
But she searched for a long time and repeated everything she had said before she traveled through time, but the person was still lying motionless in this dilapidated room.
Liu Siyu was a little discouraged.
There are only two ways at present. One is to ease the relationship with Wang's family, and the other is to choose to leave here.
But Liu Siyu felt that easing the relationship would have little effect, and leaving might be the only option.
Only by taking action can you avoid being controlled by fate.
I moved my hands and feet, but my body felt limp. This body must have been hungry for too long, and it was a bit difficult for me to get up.
Her stomach was rumbling and the aroma of rice filled her nose. Liu Siyu sniffed subconsciously.
The dark door creaked open and the little guy with the same name as her classmate came in carrying a bowl of steaming food.
The voice was neither lukewarm nor cold: "Eat it."
When Liu Siyu saw the food, her stomach growled even louder. She smiled awkwardly and reached out to take the bowl.
Unexpectedly, the little guy subconsciously dodged and asked with a bit of hostility: "What do you want to do?"
Liu Siyu was stunned, and the scene of the original owner who used to like to hit his younger brother emerged in his mind.
I instantly understood the little guy's hostility. It seems that the relationship between these two siblings is not very good.
I had to put on a smile to satisfy my rumbling stomach.
"I'm so hungry, I just want to take the bowl."
The little guy didn't seem to believe it, but he just looked at the person on the bed in confusion, and then put the bowl next to the bed.
Liu Siyu didn't care about anything else at the moment. She picked up the bowl and started to eat voraciously.
When the first bite of food passed down her throat, she instantly felt the sensation of sandpaper grinding on her skin.
Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes. I looked at the whole grain and wild vegetable porridge in the bowl and touched my rumbling stomach.
Liu Siyu made up her mind that no matter how bad the food tasted, it was better than going hungry, and she quickly finished the bowl of porridge.
The sounds outside the house came into my ears, as if they came at the exact moment.
"Get up quickly after eating. If you have energy, go chop wood. If you don't have energy, go to the mountain to collect dead leaves for compost. If you want to be lazy at home, don't eat at night."
Liu Siyu smiled bitterly and shook her head, propping herself up to get up. Her soft body seemed to have gained some strength from the bowl of multi-grain porridge.
No matter what, let's go up the mountain and take a look, maybe we can get something.
When I walked out of the main room, I saw Wang washing clothes.
Her pair of skinny hands were already red from the cold, but she seemed to feel nothing as she scrubbed the clothes vigorously.
Liu Siyu only took a glance and said, "I went up the mountain."
The voice was neither happy nor sad, just a little stiff.
Wang, who was scrubbing, paused and looked up at Liu Siyu.
Then he lowered his head again and continued scrubbing as if he hadn't heard it.
But the words that came out of his mouth were still unpleasant to the ear.
"Be quick when you go up the mountain, and don't act like a big shot. If you dare to come back empty-handed, I will break your legs."
Liu Siyu frowned slightly. Although she knew that she was a stepmother, her chattering mouth was really annoying.
"Can you bear to break my legs? I am worth 10 taels of silver. If I really become disabled, do you think the Huang family is a big enemy? Do you want to buy a laughing stock with taels of silver?"
Wang was obviously stunned, as if she didn't expect Liu Siyu to confront her like this.
He opened his mouth and finally put the words on his lips.
Seeing that the nagging mouth stopped talking, Liu Siyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
According to the original owner's memory, he found the backpack, took the sickle and went to the back mountain.
Looking up, the winter forest is bleak, with only a large area of red and yellow halfway up the mountain, which looks particularly eye-catching.
When I got closer, I found that the ground was covered with acorns.
Acorn is a large evergreen tree of the Fagaceae family. In late autumn, its dark green leaves gradually turn red and yellow, looking exceptionally beautiful from a distance.
Liu Siyu's eyes lit up instantly. When she was a child, she loved picking acorns with her grandmother and making acorn tofu or jelly.
Thinking about the delicious food, my mouth couldn't help but feel sour.
Maybe I can make some delicious acorn tofu and sell it in town. With money, everything will become easy.
After putting down the backpack, a pair of skinny little hands began to work on the dead leaves.
I muttered to myself, "No one wants such a good thing."
Liu Siyu became more and more happy as she picked up the fruits, and she didn't even notice that the sun had set.
Just as she was picking up the trash with great enthusiasm, Wang's high-pitched voice came from a distance.
"What is that damn girl still doing? Can't you see that it's getting dark, or are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Liu Siyu then looked up at the sky, only to find that the sun had already set.
What was even more surprising was that Wang actually came up the mountain to find her.
Thinking that she was worth ten taels of silver, his mood suddenly became depressed.
"Why, are you afraid that I'll run away and your ten taels of silver will be lost?"
Wang paused and looked at Liu Siyu with a complicated expression.
Then he stiffened his neck.
"You can leave anytime you want, but before you leave you must kowtow in front of your father's grave and tell him clearly that you are leaving on your own and no one is forcing you to leave."
"Your grandmother did tell you about the marriage, and I agreed to consider it. This is a fact, and you can think whatever you want."
"But now you have to come back with me. I don't want you to be taken away by the wolf."
When Liu Siyu saw Wang’s frankness, her eyes rolled and a new idea suddenly came to her mind.
At this moment, the branches and leaves in the woods were shaking, and the rustling sound was very disturbing.
