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

Wang's cheeks flushed all the way to her neck. She looked around to see if there was anyone around, then she said angrily, "What are you talking about? I've been guarding you for seven or eight years and never thought about anyone else."

Liu Siyu secretly curled the corners of her mouth and thought to herself, you just keep talking tough.

However, the attitude still needs to be expressed.

"It's not too late for you to think about it now. I think Uncle Xiao is a good person. If you two are interested, I won't object."

Wang was stunned and looked at Liu Siyu in surprise.

"Don't you dislike me talking to him? Why are you…"

Liu Siyu curled the corners of her mouth and added in her heart, that was the original owner's doing and had nothing to do with me.

But she said: "I was ignorant before, but now I understand. You are only in your 20s, there is no need for you to live alone for the rest of your life."

When Wang thought of the secret support and covert care Xiao Minghu had given her over the years, her eyes became gentle.

When he looked at Liu Siyu again, his expression was filled with confusion.

"Since you can think so much about me, why don't you think more about yourself? After the divorce..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Liu Siyu hurriedly interrupted Wang's words. Their situations were completely different and there was no comparison at all.

She was willing to help Wang and Xiao Minghu get together, firstly because she didn't want Wang to focus all his attention on her and Liu Sihan.

The care of loved ones is important, but excessive care is also a burden.

Furthermore, she sincerely felt that Wang had had a very difficult life in the first twenty years or so. She was treated like a beast of burden in her natal family, and spent her prime years living with a man who did not love her.

At an age when she should be enjoying a harmonious and happy life with her husband, she has to endure all the hardships in the world for the sake of her two children.

Wang is only 27 years old now. There is still time for everything. Why should you leave regrets in life?

Wang had no idea what Liu Siyu was thinking. She thought that she had been getting close to Xiao Minghu recently, which had aroused Liu Siyu's suspicion, so she was deliberately testing her.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed a little.

"Mom, I know. I'll listen to you about the cows. But your fourth uncle Zhao doesn't know how to drive an ox cart. What are you going to do when you go to town in the future?"

Liu Siyu thought it was a small matter and she could learn if she didn't know how to do it, but she was still undecided about the salary.

"Should we give silver or food?"

Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then we can do the same as the village chief's family. Give him the cow dung, and he can use the cow to plow the land. He can help the family carry some things or carry you to the town. I will give him 100 kilograms of millet a year. What do you think?"

Liu Siyu frowned. What’s the difference between this and the village chief’s Zhou Baopi?

They used to just herd cattle for others, but now Uncle Zhao has to be her driver from time to time, which must have taken up a lot of time.

He only gave 100 kilograms of millet, which is even more stingy than the village chief Zhou Paopi.

"Only 100 kilograms of millet is too little. Not only do they have to herd our cattle, but they also have to be our cart drivers. They need at least one or two taels of silver. I have to go to town every few days, and you can also ride in the ox cart every time you go to make fermented bean curd and rice wine."

Wang was silent for a while and suggested:

"I have no objection to giving you another ounce of silver, but I want to buy another cow. After a year or so, maybe I can have a calf."

Liu Siyu smiled. Wang finally got smart and learned how to make rational use of resources.

For Zhao Laosi, grazing one cow is the same as driving two cows. Having more cows means producing more manure every year, which is naturally what he wants.

That same day, he and Mrs. Wu led the whole family to renovate the firewood shed.

With starry eyes, I look forward to the early arrival of the cow.

One day into the second day of the Chinese New Year, there was still no news from Lai Xi. Liu Siyu decided to go to Cangzhou first, thinking that it should be almost done by the time she came back.

Before leaving, Liu Siyu gave some special instructions to Carpenter Tan, asking him to take good care of the workshop.

Zhang Zhiyuan's family suddenly disappeared from the village, and Liu Siyu was afraid that the guy would do something bad.

Carpenter Tan agreed verbally, but Liu Siyu still felt his contempt.

Perhaps in Carpenter Tan's heart, he didn't care about that family at all, and he also concluded that Zhang Zhiyuan didn't have the courage.

Liu Siyu felt uneasy, so she explained it to Xiao Minghu, who nodded with great concern.

When leaving the village, Liu Siyu happened to run into Er Laizi. When she saw him walking towards her with a smile on his face, she knew that this guy was here to eat and drink for free again.

Ever since they worked together to deal with Mrs. Zhang last time, and Liu Siyu generously gave him a big bowl of wild boar meat, Er Laizi tasted the sweetness.

He always tried his best to find out other people's privacy or latest news in the village, and reported to Liu Siyu every now and then to ask for some reward.

Liu Siyu did not disappoint him. Depending on her mood, she would give him a whole-grain cake or a gray flour steamed bun, and occasionally she would give him a big bowl of leftovers from the workshop.

Although these things are nothing to Liu Siyu, but for the lazy and gluttonous Er Laizi, the best thing is to fill his stomach without having to do any hard work.

Today was no exception. When he saw Zhang Zhiyuan's family leaving the village, he secretly followed them all the way until he saw where the family settled, and then he ran back.

I wanted to tell Liu Siyu the first-hand information in exchange for a full meal.

After hearing this, Liu Siyu felt a little confused. This guy actually ran to Xiawa Village.

Did he really regret living there with the loess?

Not too possible.

Liu Siyu shook her head and turned her gaze back to Er Laizi.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. This information is very important. During this period of time, you must keep a close eye on him. If there is any movement, pass the news to Xiao Minghu."

As Liu Siyu spoke, he took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and shook them in his hand.

"If you get this done, there will be a reward when you come back."

Er Laizi listened to the clinking sound of copper coins, and his pair of green eyes rolled back and forth with the shaking of the copper coins.

He kept rubbing his hands together, as if the aroma of wine had already drifted into his nostrils.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely do everything you ask me to do."

Liu Siyu curled the corners of her mouth slightly, turned around and whispered a few words to the newly recruited coolie Liu Fugui, then she felt at ease and rushed to the town.

Seeing Xiaocao and the others busy with their small business, Liu Siyu just said a few words of concern and left.

At the dock, Han Dongyi was already waiting on the boat. When he saw Liu Siyu coming, he frowned slightly.

"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you here for an hour."

Liu Siyu rolled her eyes.

"You can't even think about your lies. I got here before you, and I saw you hand the reins to the servants to get on the boat."

Han Dongyi didn't feel embarrassed at all when Liu Siyu exposed his lie.

He shook the folding fan in his hand and waved it around Liu Siyu's clothes with a look of disgust.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're not planning to go to Cangzhou wearing this shabby outfit that's only slightly better than a beggar's, are you?"
