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

Liu Siyu had her own considerations in choosing Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang did love to gossip in the past, but after being frightened and blackmailed by her, she changed a lot.

He firmly believed that she was possessed by a fox spirit and would definitely not dare to do anything strange in the short term.

As for the future, it remains to be seen.

The most important point is that Mrs. Zhang has always followed Liu Siyu's lead in the past six months.

Choosing her is also a clear way of telling the villagers that anyone who follows Liu Siyu closely will never suffer any loss.

But she didn't intend to tell these words to Wang, she just said them casually.

"I think she's been pretty obedient lately, so I'll just keep her for now. It won't be easy to fire her later."

When Wang heard the word "obedient", she burst out laughing.

The once aggressive Mrs. Zhang actually received Liu Siyu's evaluation of being obedient.

Come to think of it, he has become much more obedient since being suppressed by Liu Siyu.

At least when I saw the mother and daughter, they were polite, completely different from before.

……

When the four heard that Liu Siyu hired them for help, they were naturally very happy.

Liu Siyu paid them 15 cents a day and provided them with a meal at noon, although it was a little less than what they earned from picking jelly fruits and herbs.

But at least it's stable.

Although Zheng and Wu were a little surprised, this was Liu Siyu's choice and they had no right to interfere.

When I was working, I would still subconsciously be on guard against Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang also knew that she was not welcome in the village.

She was really surprised that Liu Siyu took care of her today, so she worked extra hard.

The jelly fruits were picked in large quantities, and the Liu family’s courtyard was no longer able to hold them all.

Liu Siyu arranged for He and Zhang to move the extra jelly fruits to the workshop to dry. The two of them also took winnowing baskets and baskets, and after the fruits were dried, they rubbed the jelly seeds under the shade of the trees.

Wu and Zheng were assigned to wash jelly in Liu's courtyard.

Xiaohua and Wang were also assigned as assistants by Liu Siyu.

Dozens of kilograms of wild fruits were harvested yesterday. Last night, Liu Siyu and Wang had already sorted the fruits into different categories and pounded them into juice in a stone mortar.

After everyone's work was arranged, Liu Siyu moved the juice out of the ice cellar and handed it all to Wang.

She mixed the glutinous rice flour, and gave the rest to Xiaohuaer to roll into colorful balls.

Everyone was busy, and Liu Siyu was not idle either.

A man was fiddling with mosquito repellent creams and liquids in the kitchen.

When the second pot of herbs is steamed, the kitchen will be handed over to Xiaohua and Wang to prepare lunch.

Liu Siyu had no choice but to stop.

Looking at the limited glutinous rice flour, he called Gu Changming again.

He is now a handyman in the workshop, so naturally he has to move wherever he is needed.

At noon, Gu Changming insisted on going to the workshop to eat with everyone, but Liu Siyu said directly.

"You are already engaged, so why should you avoid suspicion? Besides, there are aunts here, and no one will say anything if you eat together."

Wang also gave some advice.

"Just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."

While eating, Gu Changming was only concerned with eating the rice in the bowl and didn't even dare to pick up some vegetables.

Liu Siyu couldn't help but make a joke.

"Brother Changming, you are a boy, why are you so shy? If Qingxue were here, she would definitely be more generous than you."

When he heard Qingxue's name, Gu Changming blushed.

He choked on the food he was about to swallow and started coughing.

Mrs. Zhang handed over a bowl of water with sparkling eyes.

"The story between you and Qingxue is not only known to people in Xinghua Village, but also to people in Yingshan Village."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Gu Changming and spoke with a gossipy look on his face.

"Tell me, Auntie, what method did you use to get Qingxue's parents to agree to this marriage?"

Gu Changming had just recovered, but after hearing this, he coughed violently a few more times.

This is the serious way:

"Aunt, I know what you mean. Qingxue is a good person and has a good family. As for my family situation, you all know it. Everyone thinks that I used despicable means to get her parents to agree."

"But I, Gu Changming, will say it again today. No matter how poor my family is, we will never resort to despicable means. Qingxue is a good girl, and her parents are reasonable people. They agree to let us be together because they value me. I hope you will stop talking nonsense in the future."

Gu Changming was obviously a little angry when he said this.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't understand and continued to ask, and Liu Siyu coughed lightly.

"Aunt Zhang, if you keep asking, the food will get cold and we still have to work in the afternoon."

Mrs. Zhang's gossiping heart subsided and she secretly glanced at Liu Siyu, seeing that she was not really angry.

Only then did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief. How could she forget that Liu Siyu, her great ancestor, didn't like her gossiping.

He immediately picked up the bowl with a smile.

"Look at my mouth. I never know how to keep the door closed. Next time I go out, I'll lock the door and change this bad habit."

Liu Siyu picked up a piece of small fish with chopsticks and put it into Mrs. Zhang's bowl.

"I know that my aunt is not a bad person, she just likes to make jokes. It doesn't matter to someone as thick-skinned as me, but if she meets someone with a thin skin, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it."

"If something goes wrong, the blame will naturally be directed at you. For an innocent joke, you will be cursed for the rest of your life. Isn't that not worth it?"

Mrs. Zhang was very touched when she heard this.

She had been gossiping in the village for so many years, and everyone was angry with her, saying that she was born a bad person.

This was the first time I heard someone say that she was not a bad person by nature and that she was just joking when she gossiped.

She has always thought so, but no one would think so.

When I heard it today, I felt like I had met a soulmate.

His eyes got hot and he nodded vigorously.

"Miss, you really hit the nail on the head. I really just like to gossip. I don't have any bad intentions."

"Last time you..."

She really couldn't bring herself to say the word "lesson".

I had no choice but to change my words: "After you taught me last time, I have been trying hard to change, but sometimes I still can't control my big mouth."

As he said this, he raised his hand and patted his mouth.

"In the future, I will definitely listen to the elder girl, change this habit, and be a likable person."

When these words came out, everyone present was shocked!!!

This, this, this, is this still the gossipy old lady Zhang?

Why does it feel like this old lady is like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Liu Siyu?

Several people looked for the reason on Mrs. Zhang's face, but there was only genuine emotion on Mrs. Zhang's face.

Liu Siyu only had a faint smile on her face, as if she truly thought that Mrs. Zhang was not a bad person.

I am also sure that Mrs. Zhang can change.

Several people looked at each other, eager to know how Liu Siyu dealt with this arrogant and domineering Mrs. Zhang...

After dinner, Liu Siyu started to tinker with her herbs again.

Gu Changming was grinding glutinous rice flour at the back of the kitchen.

When he passed by the kitchen, he saw Liu Siyu busy, so he stopped and said seriously: "Miss Siyu, thank you!"

Liu Siyu raised her head slightly.

"Thank me? Thank you for what?"

Gu Changming...

"You have certainly contributed to the fate between Qingxue and I. I will keep it in mind."

As he said this, he handed a bamboo basket to Liu Siyu.

"I helped Qingxue weave one last time. She said it looked nice and asked me to give you one."
