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

"Can I spare you a moment? I want to ask you for a favor."

Ask him for help?

Although Lai Xier was a little confused, she still put down the firewood on her shoulder.

"Just tell me what you want me to do. I feel really bad for eating one of your rabbits last time."

Liu Siyu was a little surprised that he was so easy to talk to.

This was not the attitude last time.

He looked at Liu Sihan beside him and whispered, "You go back first, I'll go back later by myself."

Liu Sihan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that her sister had something to say to the boy from the Tian family, but her mother's worries were not unnecessary.

If any gossip gets out, my sister will be the one who suffers.

"Sister, mother..."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Liu Sihan wanted to speak more, but her sister's eyes were very firm, so she had to give her a warning.

"Then you should come back earlier, otherwise mother will be worried."

Liu Siyu waved her hand, "Got it."

There were only two people left at the scene, and Lai Xi seemed a little nervous.

If someone saw them talking here as a single man and a single woman, there wouldn't necessarily be much gossip.

I looked around and felt relieved to see no one except the rustling sound of the wind.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Siyu was delighted, thinking that this guy was a smart person.

Directly said: "Marry me."

Lai Xi's heart shuddered, and the firewood fell to the ground with a thud.

This was the first time someone had said this to his face since he was a child.

"What?"

Liu Siyu blinked. Is this kid sick?

Are you not tempted by the good things that come to your door?

Hey, wait, maybe she already has someone she loves.

Liu Siyu returned the question and asked tentatively, "Are you married?"

Lai Xi shook her head. His family was so poor that they could barely afford to eat. Who would be willing to marry him?

He glanced at Liu Siyu from the corner of his eye. Her pretty face looked particularly charming against the backdrop of her new pea green clothes.

Unlike the last time we met, he was wearing a patched cotton jacket. He was wet from falling into the mud and looked like an ugly duckling among a group of swans.

"Do you have a crush on someone?"

Lai Xi blushed, and when Liu Siyu asked him that, he didn't know where to look, and stared at the straw sandals on his feet.

The toes are so tense that they can dig out a 3-bedroom, 1-living-room apartment.

Liu Siyu was a little puzzled and subconsciously touched her little face. She didn't look bad at all.

Could it be that the boy opposite is someone with extremely high demands?

Looking at his ragged clothes, he doesn't look like a rich man. He wants to marry a beautiful, rich and white lady. Isn't that like a toad wanting to eat a swan's flesh?

It’s not that Liu Siyu looks down on people, it’s just that reality is cruel.

"Then tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

"No...I don't want to marry..." Lai Xi stammered.

Liu Siyu curled her lips. No one would believe this. Which normal man doesn't want a wife and children and a warm bed?

"You don't want to marry, do you want to be single for the rest of your life?"

Lai Xi felt a pain in his heart. Who doesn’t want to have a home and live with someone they like?

But his family was poor, and no girl from a good family would be interested in their shabby home.

Besides, he didn't want his daughter to suffer with him and go hungry.

Sadness overwhelmed shyness.

Lai Xi raised his head and faced Liu Siyu.

"Why do you want to marry me?"

Liu Siyu frowned slightly. Wouldn't it be a good thing for someone to marry him? Why was she so stubborn and had to get to the bottom of the problem?

But now I need help from others, and it is not easy to confront them directly. I can only soften my tone and take the sympathetic approach.

"Last time you were kind enough to carry me back home, but the gossipy woman in the village saw you. Now the whole village is filled with unbearable rumors. I really have nowhere else to turn..."

As he said this, he sniffed deliberately, looking like he was about to cry.

Lai Xi looked apologetic. He knew that his daughter's reputation was more important than anything else. The fact that Liu Siyu came to see him today must have meant that she had suffered a great injustice in the village.

"Don't cry. I'll go to your village and put all the blame on myself. I'll say that I accidentally caused you to break your foot. Then I'll apologize to your mother in front of the villagers and explain it to Zhang Zhiyuan in private."

What? Go find Zhang Zhiyuan and tell him. Liu Siyu was so embarrassed that she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl into.

I didn't expect the original owner to be so noisy. Even the people in Xinghua Village knew about the little things between her and Zhang Zhiyuan.

No wonder this guy refused to marry her.

But she is not really getting married. As long as this boy is willing to cooperate, this matter can still be discussed.

"I know it's a bit difficult for you to marry me, but I won't let you help me for nothing. I'll pay you 5 taels of silver for one year, just one year..."

Lai Xi turned around and left when he heard this. His family was poor, but he was not willing to trade his marriage for money.

Liu Siyu was a little anxious, thinking that the Wuliang family would not appreciate it, and hurriedly said, "Ten taels."

Lai Xi was even more annoyed. He had heard about Liu Siyu and Zhang Zhiyuan a long time ago.

He also fantasized in his heart that if one day he could meet a girl who admired him as much as Liu Siyu admired Zhang Zhiyuan, he would love her all his life.

Many people in the village disliked Liu Siyu for being shameless, but he thought she was an admirable girl.

How many country girls can be brave enough to express the love in their hearts and take action for it?

Today's Liu Siyu made him extremely ashamed and angry. The girl who dared to love and hate was gone, and all she talked about was money.

Who do you think Tian Laixi is?

Someone who can trade without limits?

Liu Siyu didn't know what was wrong with Lai Xi, his expression changed as fast as the 5G network.

He had no choice but to grab Lai Xi's arm, his eyes flashing with pleading.

She really had no choice. The laws of the Great Yan Dynasty stipulated that unmarried women could not set up a private henhouse. Only divorced women who had nowhere to rely on could set up a henhouse.

But among the boys she knew, it seemed that there were only Zhang Zhiyuan and Tian Laixi.

Zhang Zhiyuan is definitely unreliable.

As for Tian Lai Xi, at present, apart from being a little poor and having a weird personality, there is nothing wrong with him.

It is the only option at present.

I never feel safe staying with Wang.

Although she will not be sold for the time being after the last incident, as she gets older, if she still doesn't get married, who knows if Mrs. Wang will be anxious?

If the old hag tries to play tricks on her again, she can't just use a kitchen knife to chase her away every time.

At any time, you can only feel at ease if you hold your destiny in your own hands.

"I know you don't like me, but Zhang Zhiyuan is already engaged, and my mother almost sold me to an old man. I really have no way to survive. You can't just watch me die..."

Liu Siyu spoke pitifully while staring at Lai Xi out of the corner of her eye.

Lai Xi's heart softened. He never expected that a small misunderstanding would force a good girl to this point.

"Okay, I'll find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

Liu Siyu nodded immediately and thought to herself that the path of sympathy was the right one. Lai Xi’s sudden change of hostility might be due to his man’s self-esteem.

However, the two of them are in a contractual marriage, so this needs to be made clear in advance.

I thought about my words.

"Brother Lai Xi..."

Lai Xi shuddered, "You should just call me...call me Lai Xi Hao."
