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

Liu Siyu frowned.

Looking for her, and still in a hurry, has something happened in the village again?

He sat up from the armchair, stared at the anxious Liu Lao San and said, "Third brother, what's the matter?"

Liu Laosan hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't say it.

Liu Siyu became even more confused.

This is not like Liu Laosan's character.

"Third brother, I still like the way you speak your mind."

Liu Laosan pulled over a chair and sat down.

He rubbed his hands, an embarrassed smile on his dark red face.

"Well, then I'll be frank."

Liu Siyu gave him a look that told him to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

Liu Laosan was no longer polite.

"It's like this. My construction team is now established. I had no experience when I repaired the workshop last time. Besides, there was no one around me who could write or calculate, so I made an estimate and quoted a price. In the end, the compensation was not even enough to pay for the labor."

"You were considerate of me. Not only did you pay me, but you also let me earn a few hundred coins."

"But this is not a solution. I thought, find someone who can write and do math, calculate all the expenses in advance based on this experience, and then negotiate the price with the owner."

Liu Siyu thought this was a good thing. They knew how to use their brains, which meant there was still hope for this construction team.

Naturally, he encouraged her: "Isn't this great? With more and more capable people around you, your business will grow bigger and bigger."

Liu Laosan frowned his thick black eyebrows.

"That's true, but I'm afraid you won't be happy with the person I found."

"Ah," Liu Siyu was a little confused.

Liu Laosan is running his own business, he is not doing business with her, so what does it have to do with her who he is looking for?

But seeing Liu Laosan's embarrassed look, she wondered in her heart, could this person really be related to her?

"Third brother, who is this person?"

Liu Laosan's smile was a little unnatural.

"There are not many people in these villages who can write and count. The only people I can afford to hire are from Xinghua Village."

Speaking of Xinghua Village, Liu Siyu immediately thought of someone.

Tian Qinghe, Lai Xi's second uncle.

She was not familiar with this man. Her only impression of him was that Lai Xi said that his second uncle had studied in a private school for several years and was good at accounting. As for other things, she really didn't know much.

Seeing Liu Laosan's embarrassed look, I guessed that it was probably because she and Lai Xi had divorced, and Tian Qinghe was a member of the Tian family.

He was afraid that Liu Siyu would be unhappy if he used Tian Qinghe.

Thinking of this, I felt comforted.

"Third brother, the construction team is your business. It's your freedom to hire whomever you want. Although Lai Xi and I had some unpleasant experiences, those things are in the past. When the orchard of the Tian family is ripe, I have never refused to accept it, which means that I don't take this matter to heart."

Only then did Liu Laosan let go of his smile.

"I feel relieved when you say that. I recently took on a business to build a house for someone in Liujiatang."

"I'm related to your sister-in-law, so I thought I could help my relative and also practice. I'll find someone to do the math. Whether it's a loss or a profit, I'll just take it as experience."

These words quite pleased Liu Siyu, as there are always gains and losses in business.

Only those who can withstand the storms can go further.

……

The assassination of Liu Siyu was kept secret from the villagers.

When everyone saw that she had been back for several days but had not yet arranged to harvest the fruits, those who had fruits at home became a little anxious.

In previous years, I picked them myself and let my kids at home lick them.

But now that we know they can be sold for money, who would be willing to eat them? But fruit is something that cannot be stored, and if you don't pick it when it's ripe it will fall off.

Those who were not very familiar with the Liu family tried to ask Mrs. Zhang or Zheng to go to the Liu family and ask whether the fruits could be harvested this year.

When Mrs. Zhang saw that she had become a popular figure in the village because of Liu Siyu, she was immediately overjoyed.

He agreed without hesitation and went to Liu Siyu's house to ask her that same day.

Liu Siyu looked at Wang, meaning that since she had been recuperating for these days, it was time for her to be released from confinement.

Wang glanced at Mrs. Zhang and said dissatisfiedly.

"You don't have any fruit trees at home, why are you so anxious?"

Mrs. Zhang saw that Wang was unhappy and didn't know what she said was wrong. She remembered the trust everyone had given her.

I had no choice but to lick his face to please him.

"There's none at home, but there are some on the mountain. I'm thinking about going up to the mountain to find some wild fruits to exchange for some money after the wheat harvest."

Wang thought about it and felt that what Zhang Po said was right. Fruits are seasonal and there will be no such shop after this village.

I had no choice but to respond: "Then we'll start harvesting tomorrow, but I'm busy at home this afternoon, so I'll have to ask you guys to come help me during the time we're harvesting the fruits. How about 5 cents per person per day?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded rapidly, saying that she was willing to help even without payment.

Firstly, she is a person who loves to join in the fun. Secondly, it is natural for her to get on board the Liu family. She enjoys the feeling of being sought after.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Liu Siyu looked at Wang and teased her.

"You're a miser, and you've started to pluck the feathers out of me. When I hired someone before, you were always reluctant to spend the money, and you wanted to take on all the work yourself."

"I suddenly figured it out today and hired four people at once."

Wang glanced at Liu Siyu unhappily.

"We have enough food and clothes now, and you are injured, so it's good enough that you have enough money."

"You told me before that your business would grow bigger and bigger, and Sihan would have a bright future. I can't always dwell on the past and hold you two back."

Liu Siyu looked at Wang in surprise.

"You're making rapid progress!"

Wang felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Isn't this the saying that if you are close to red, you are close to black..."

"Those who are close to the vermillion are red, those who are close to the ink are black."

Liu Siyu read this sentence word by word.

"That's right, that's right. As the saying goes, a red flower will become redder if it is close to a red flower, and a black flower will become blacker if it is close to a black flower," Wang repeated hastily.

"Didn't Zhang Zhiyuan use this sentence to belittle us? I didn't understand what it meant at first, but I found out after I asked Sihan."

"This is Zhang Zhiyuan's roundabout way of calling us a bunch of bumpkins."

Seeing Wang's indignation, Liu Siyu asked curiously, "Are you still angry about this?"

Wang sighed, feeling relieved.

"I was angry for a while, but now I've let it go. Just like you said, a duck weighing three ounces has a mouth weighing two ounces. Who cares what he says? We are living a good life now, and I am quite satisfied."

Liu Siyu looked around Wang. She hadn't had a good chat with Wang for a long time.

Apart from arranging work for Wang, most of the time he would talk back to her.

Of course, sometimes I also say a few jokes.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the Wang family would have such a big change.

The environment and the people around you can really influence a person.

In the past, the Liu family was poor, and Wang was busy all the time just to make ends meet.

The poverty-stricken life made her feel depressed, and the rumors in the village made her angry.

Maybe these are not her true intentions.

Now that life is better and they have enough food and warm clothes, Wang's personality has gradually become gentler.

Whether it is for Liu Sihan or for her, maternal love always flows silently...

Liu Siyu started harvesting fruits again.

The Liu family yard, which had been quiet for a while, became busy again.

However, Wang kept a close eye on Liu Siyu and only allowed him to keep accounts and collect money, and was not allowed to ask about anything else.

At the end of the day, the fruits filled all the baskets in the house. Liu Siyu was worrying when Gu Changming came.
