Liu Siyu curled her lips secretly. It seemed that this guy was not used to such sweet names.

"Thank you for agreeing to marry me and helping me out of my urgent need."

Liu Siyu felt that this sounded so awkward.

She is a young woman who married someone else for nothing and she has to thank him. What a miserable life she has...

But the conversation had to continue, "Ours is considered a contractual marriage. In the next year, I will try my best to cooperate with you and live in harmony with your family. Do you have any other requests?"

Lai Xi took a deep breath and said, "No, it's just that my house is a little small, so it might be unfair to you."

Liu Siyu immediately smiled and waved her hands, "Not wronged... Not wronged."

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, Liu Siyu, Liu Siyu, you are so unlucky. You were a proud flower in modern times, but after coming here, you can only rush to be someone's wife.

When they got home, Wang and Liu Sihan were full of gossip.

Wang opened her mouth, but finally kept the words at her lips.

Liu Sihan approached Liu Siyu with a curious look on her face, "Sister, what did you talk about with that kid from the Tian family?"

Liu Siyu's face turned serious, "Children are not allowed to ask questions."

Liu Sihan muttered unconvincedly, "I'm 10 years old, not a child."

After that, he boldly asked, "Do you like the guy called Sanwa?"

Liu Siyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What did this have to do with anything?

The two of them are just in a contractual marriage, so how can they talk about love?

However, thinking that the boy named Tian would come to propose marriage soon, she smiled shyly.

Wang was so anxious that she jumped up and down, "I don't agree. Let's not talk about Lai Xi's character. His family is even poorer than mine. He has an old mother who is paralyzed in bed. His eldest sister married a useless man who is idle all day long. The two children at home are all supported by her parents."

"He has a brother and sister-in-law with their children, and a younger aunt and brother-in-law. I heard that he has a second uncle who doesn't like other women. With all the troubles in the family, you won't be able to enjoy a happy life if you marry him. I'm afraid you won't even have tears to cry."

Liu Siyu was also a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect Lai Xi's family to be so complicated.

There really is no free lunch in the world.

But when he thought that they were only in a contractual marriage, he felt relieved.

As long as he holds on for a year, he will be free. He just needs to turn a blind eye to the troubles in his family. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble for her, everything will be fine.

She still had ways to deal with a group of ordinary people. It was better than being sold to a wealthy mansion.

Rich people want to save face and also want substance, and their dirty tricks are endless, which are simply beyond her ability to deal with.

Comparing the two, ordinary people are better off. They only care about having enough food and clothing.

"Mom, I know the Tian family has a large population and life is difficult, but I am still willing to marry into their family."

Wang became even more anxious when she saw that Liu Siyu was so stubborn.

"You are so stupid. You used to like Zhang Zhiyuan and begged and pleaded to marry him. Now that you finally changed your mind, you want to marry that guy named Tian."

"Why don't you make me worry? Not only do the Tian family not have enough to eat, they can't even afford a pair of shoes. You saw it last time. The father and son were wearing straw sandals in the middle of winter. What do you think you want?"

What picture?

Of course, she wants freedom. She has started to make money now, and once she establishes a female household, she will be able to realize her ambitions.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Of course, we cannot give up because of the small difficulties in front of us.

"Mom, I appreciate your kindness, but I still decided to marry him."

"Sister, there are so many people in his family, what will you do if they bully you?"

Liu Siyu touched the little guy's hair and said, "I still have you. When you have learned the skills, I will be waiting for you to protect you."

Liu Sihan clenched his fists, looking determined, "Well, I will definitely protect you."

Wang glared at Liu Sihan in anger and said, "Don't get involved here. You are only 10 years old. By the time you are able to protect your sister, I am afraid that your sister will be as old as me in that family."

Liu Siyu was slightly moved. She knew that Wang was trying to dissuade her with good intentions, but she didn't want to continue on this topic.

"Whether someone will come to propose marriage is another matter. Look how excited you are, as if I'm getting married tomorrow."

Wang wanted to persuade him a little more, but after hearing this, she could only sigh.

She knew her daughter's temper. Once she made up her mind, no one could pull her back.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, Liu Siyu changed the subject.

"I want to eat acorn tofu tonight, acorn tofu stewed with lard."

Liu Sihan's eyes also lit up, and thinking of the deliciousness of the lard residue, he couldn't help licking his lips.

"You are the only ones who are greedy. I was thinking of saving the oil residue for making dumplings with ash bread during the Chinese New Year. We couldn't afford ash flour in previous years, and our family hasn't eaten dumplings for several years."

Liu Sihan was also a little tempted.

"I think mom is right. I'd better save the oil residue for making dumplings during the Chinese New Year. I haven't eaten it for several years. I almost forgot what dumplings look like."

Liu Siyu smiled and said, "That's easy. Let's make dumplings tonight."

Wang felt so distressed when she saw Liu Siyu saying that wind is rain.

"How can that be possible? It would be such a waste to make dumplings during a festival that is not a festival."

Liu Siyu knew that Wang was afraid of being poor, but now she had found a way to make money, so there was no need for the family to live a tight life and endure like an ascetic monk.

"If I say yes, it's fine. There will be a lot of oil residue left from making pastries in a few days. During the Chinese New Year, I will buy some white flour and make dumplings and deep-fried dough sticks as much as I want."

"Really?" Liu Sihan jumped for joy.

Wang was slightly surprised, "Are the snacks you make really that profitable?"

She still doesn't quite believe that Liu Siyu can do anything to make money.

I thought I used the small amount of money I earned from selling the pastries plus the proceeds from selling the wild boar meat to buy these things.

"You're not exaggerating, are you?"

Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows, "The three melons and two dates from the wild boar meat can buy so many things."

Wang suddenly became happy, "How much can you make in a month by making snacks?"

Liu Siyu smiled awkwardly. Telling the truth would definitely scare Wang and Liu Sihan. If she said too little, she was afraid that Wang would live a frugal life.

She didn't want to eat coarse grain pancakes and wild vegetable porridge all day long without a drop of oil in the bowl.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I can't make big money, but I can definitely make small money. It's no problem to have a beautiful New Year."

When Liu Sihan heard that she could have a beautiful New Year, she became excited. "Mom, just believe my elder sister. If she says she can, she will definitely be able to do it."

At dinner, a small bowl of shredded radish was added with a little lard, and the dumpling skin was made of gray flour, which looked like buckwheat dumplings.

Liu Sihan stared closely at the dumplings as they were put into the pot, taken out of the pot, and then into the bowl. Only after he took the first bite of a dumpling did he believe that it was not a dream.

Liu Siyu reached out and patted the little guy on the forehead. "Look at how useless you are. Follow me in the future and I promise that you won't suffer from your mouth."

Liu Sihan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

When the town held a small market, Liu Siyu was busy again.

This time she brought a small backpack and took Liu Sihan for a stroll in the town.

As soon as the two of them entered the town, they were being targeted. Liu Siyu and her brother didn't notice it at all and were still looking around excitedly.
