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

But plans cannot keep up with changes. When I got up in the morning, I found that the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.

I thought that if the acorns on the mountain were to experience another rain, they would probably become moldy.

Before the hand cream made money, it was the most important source of food for the family and could not be neglected at all.

So I gave up the decision to go to Xinghua Village today and went up the mountain to pick acorns first.

Wang was more active than anyone else. She hastily sent away the cows in the firewood shed, grabbed the sack, put on the backpack, and headed straight for the back mountain.

I picked up the trash non-stop for two days, and in the evening the rain started to fall.

Wang looked at the drizzling rain with a face full of regret, "This rain comes at a really bad time. There are still so many acorns that have not been picked up. If they get moldy, it will be so heartbreaking."

Liu Sihan was also worried about the rain. If it had been sunny for a few more days, his family would have enough food for the winter.

"Oh, what should we do? How about we put on our raincoats tomorrow and go collect for another day?"

"That's not necessary," Liu Siyu refused decisively. "If I get sick from the rain, I'll have to see a doctor. Wouldn't the medicine be even more expensive?"

"Tomorrow we will first remove the shells from the ones we picked up. The dried fruits won't go bad if left there. When the ones in the jar are ground into flour, we can soak them again."

Wang sighed regretfully, "Your sister is right. We will husk the shells at home when it rains. I will go and have a look when it clears up. Maybe we can dig up some good ones."

Liu Siyu doesn't want to get up early on rainy days. She has been picking acorns desperately these two days and is so tired that her whole body aches.

I woke up and was dozing on the bed when I heard Liu Sihan's anxious voice outside the room.

"Sister, get up quickly, someone is looking for you."

Liu Siyu stretched and yawned, "Who's looking for me so early in the morning?"

"It's getting late. If it were a sunny day, I would have been working in the fields."

After a pause, he continued, "There are two women and a man here, they say they are from Cha Xiang Ji. My mother and I are a little scared and don't know how to entertain them."

Tea fragrance?

Liu Siyu suddenly perked up, quickly put on her clothes, picked up the wooden hairpin she often used, and quickly tied her long hair into a bun.

He hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Where is the person?"

Liu Sihan pointed outside the fence and said, "The man is in a beautiful carriage and said he is waiting there."

Liu Siyu looked up and saw a carriage at the gate. It was the most common black-covered carriage.

In her opinion, she was not beautiful, but for someone like Liu Sihan who rarely saw an ox cart, she was indeed beautiful.

Liu Siyu just casually brushed the loose hair on her forehead, without bothering to wash herself, and walked straight towards the carriage.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart. Last time they agreed that she would go to Cha Xiang Ji during the market day, but they sent someone only three days later. Could there be something wrong with the hand cream?

The people in the carriage heard footsteps and a pair of chubby hands lifted the curtain.

Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile in his eyes: "But where are you feeling uncomfortable? Why did you get up just now?"

Liu Siyu looked up and saw the three people in the carriage. She felt a little nervous, but she still smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you for your concern, Shopkeeper Fu. It rained all night yesterday and the ground was wet. I couldn't go out today, so I slept a little longer. If I had known you were coming, I would have waited for you long ago."

Shopkeeper Fu's round grape-like eyes were full of smiles.

"Why, don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Liu Siyu scratched his head embarrassedly and subconsciously turned back to glance at the few dilapidated thatched houses.

She wanted to invite him into the house, but her home was so shabby that she didn't feel comfortable saying it.

Hearing Manager Fu say this, he was no longer shy.

"Please come inside."

Although Wang was usually a bit hot-tempered, she was, after all, a farmer and had never seen the world.

When I suddenly saw three people wearing silk and satin, I didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He just managed a smile and politely invited the person into the house.

Shopkeeper Fu just smiled faintly. She came here today mainly to see whether Liu Siyu's home was the same as her subordinates reported.

After entering the room, I just took a few casual glances and had no desire to stay any longer.

This family is really poor. Apart from a few shabby houses, they don’t even have any decent furniture.

"Miss Siyu, I came here today mainly to invite you to sit in Chaxiangji. Is that convenient?"

Inviting her to go to Cha Xiang Ji, most likely there is nothing wrong with the hand cream. Could it be that he wants to negotiate with her?

In fact, this kind of thing can be done by just asking a waiter to come and tell him, so why did Manager Fu go there in person?

With two people.

Liu Siyu's eyes turned slightly and she thought of a possibility. He was probably here to inquire about her family situation.

"Okay, all three of you wait for me in the carriage. I'll go wash my face and come right back."

In the kitchen, Liu Siyu wiped her face with water and whispered something to Wang beside her.

"I'm going to town and will be back after lunch. If any strangers come to our house to ask about the situation, you and Sihan should just say you know nothing."

"What do these people do? Are they dangerous?"

Although Wang is not smart enough, these people are obviously rich. It must not be that simple for them to suddenly come to Liu Siyu.

Liu Siyu smiled and said, "It's not dangerous. It's about my mother."

"Sister..." Liu Sihan knew Manager Fu, and now she heard that these people were related to her eldest sister's mother, and she became nervous.

In his young heart, he didn't want his sister to have another mother, he wanted them to be a family.

Liu Siyu knew that the little guy had misunderstood and blinked quickly.

It turned out that it was her sister who made it up. Liu Sihan felt relieved, knowing that her elder sister didn't want their mother to know about the hand cream in advance.

I remembered my sister's advice, this is a secret between the two of us.

He immediately began to cover up, "Sister, don't worry, Mom and I won't tell anything."

Liu Siyu had no choice. It was not that she didn't want to tell the truth to Wang, but these people in the business world were full of intrigue and deception, and Wang might not be able to handle it. It would not be good for them to know too much.

Wang didn't know the inside story, and when she heard that it was about Liu Siyu's mother, her face froze.

Is it possible that the woman that her husband is obsessed with is about to appear?

For some reason, my heart suddenly felt sad.

"I know. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

Seeing that her mother was distressed, Liu Sihan guessed what she was thinking and hurried over to comfort her.

Liu Siyu thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so she moved the kitchen knife into the ice cellar.

Only then did he get on Manager Fu's carriage.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Manager Fu waved his hand and introduced the other two people in the carriage.
