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

I really don’t know how many unexpected things this little girl has hidden behind him.

Ximei, who came with them, was also surprised. She had heard a lot of rumors about Liu Siyu.

It was very surprising to see that she attached so much importance to this marriage. This girl used to be determined to marry Zhang Zhiyuan. Before she came last time, she always thought that Liu Siyu was forced to marry her second brother because of the rumors in the village.

But now seeing that Liu Siyu took it so seriously and even bought several pieces of cloth for her marriage after the New Year, he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

Could it be that this girl changed her personality so quickly?

Liu Siyu saw that everyone was staring at her and felt a bit like a monkey in a zoo.

Divert everyone's attention immediately.

"It's almost noon, so please come inside and sit down. I bought some sugar and made some sugar water for everyone to drink."

Matchmaker Liu was a little tempted and was about to agree when Lai Xi stopped her.

"No, my family has already prepared a thank-you wine, and my parents are waiting at home."

When Ximei heard this, she knew that Lai Xi was reluctant to give the Liu family girl the candy.

He smiled and agreed, "Yeah, it's almost noon, I'm afraid my parents will be worried."

Matchmaker Liu had no choice but to smile and say, "Let's drink the sugar water another day. We'll leave first."

Seeing that the three people were about to leave, Liu Siyu suddenly remembered that she had to ask Xi to buy medicine.

He stepped forward and stood in front of the three people. "It's still early in the afternoon, and there's no rush. Let's go inside and drink some water to moisten our throats before leaving."

She winked at Wang Shi. Although Wang Shi didn't know what Liu Siyu wanted to do, she took action when she saw the look in her eyes.

He enthusiastically pulled Liu the Matchmaker and Ximei into the house.

Then he shouted to Liu Sihan in the kitchen, "Bring some bowls of sweet soup to the guests."

Seeing Lai Xier going to the main room, Liu Siyu felt a little anxious.

How about asking Lai Xi out alone?

It's not like last time, when I just pulled him into the room to talk.

Lai Xi seemed to know what Liu Siyu was thinking. After taking two steps, he made an excuse to go to the toilet.

Matchmaker Liu and Ximei didn't think much about it and went into the house with a smile.

As soon as Liu Siyu saw the opportunity, she hurried to follow.

Just after turning the corner, Lai Xi suddenly stopped, turned around sharply, and almost bumped into Liu Siyu who was following closely behind him.

As the two looked at each other, Lai Xi said, "Or should I go shopping?"

Liu Siyu, "I want to ask you for a favor."

They both spoke almost at the same time and laughed.

Liu Siyu scratched her head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I have to ask you for help every time."

"We agreed beforehand that we would cooperate with each other this year. I'm just doing my duty," Lai Xi said politely yet distantly.

Obviously, he was willing to help in his heart, but he was being stubborn.

Liu Siyu was slightly stunned. A few days ago, she narcissistically thought that Lai Xi had some feelings for her, but now it seems that she was just wishful thinking.

He immediately put on a businesslike look and took out the cloth bag from last time.

"Here is 16 taels of silver. Go to Wangjiawa to buy it. The prescription is in the bag. Buy as much as you can."

Lai Xi's hand trembled when he took the purse. It was 16 taels of silver. He had never carried so much silver on him before.

I was curious. She spent 16 taels two days ago and now she took out taels. How much money does this girl have?

The rumors outside came to mind again, saying that Liu Siyu sold her body to please Zhang Zhiyuan. Could it be that this money...

He immediately shook his head. It was impossible. He was also the person mentioned in those rumors.

Not to mention that he has no money, even if he had money, he would never spend it on doing those dirty things.

Most importantly, he didn't believe that Liu Siyu would be a person who would indulge in self-degradation and have no bottom line.

But where could a little girl like Liu Siyu earn so much money?

Also, since she has money, why does her family still live like this?

Doubts linger in my heart...

After seeing the guests off, Wang weighed the sugar in the kitchen and couldn't help complaining.

"Why would we farmers buy such expensive sugar? It would be better to use the money to buy some coarse grains and bake a few more pancakes during the busy farming season. With food in our stomachs, we will have more energy to work."

Liu Sihan, who was happy just now, also put on a sad face after hearing Wang's words.

"Sister, why don't we return these candies?"

Liu Siyu smiled and scratched Liu Sihan's nose, "Why are you returning it? Who doesn't eat two pounds of sugar during the Chinese New Year? This year I want to make sugar buns and red bean paste buns."

"What? You still want to make sugar buns? You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't run a household."

Liu Siyu knew that her family was poor and Wang always attached great importance to money.

Without saying much, he took out 500 coins from his pocket and handed them to Wang.

"Take these."

When Wang saw so much money, she felt both excited and nervous.

"Is this the profit?"

"Well, there are those pieces of cloth. The brown one is yours, the blue one is Sihan's, and the remaining one is mine."

At first, Wang thought that the three pieces of cloth were the dowry prepared by Liu Siyu, but now when she heard that they were bought for them, she felt distressed again.

"Si Han just made a dress. I am a widow and I have nothing to wear. You should save the little money you have. There are many things to spend money on when you get married. You should invite a few acquaintances to your home to set up a table. You will also be proud if you have people to send you off. Even if I am a stepmother, I can't let you follow the matchmaker to the Tian family directly."

Liu Siyu didn't expect Wang to say this, and her heart was slightly moved.

"Who says a widow can't wear new clothes? You can't wear old clothes when I get married. Also, your hands have just been moisturized after applying the ointment. Don't take those laundry jobs before the New Year, otherwise the ointment will be in vain."

"Hey," Wang responded and subconsciously looked at the rough hands.

My hands, which were full of cracks in previous years, have become much more moisturized after applying ointment in the past few days, and many of the bloody cuts have healed.

The corners of her eyes became moist unconsciously. When she was at her parents' home, her parents and brothers treated her like a working machine.

After I got married, my mother-in-law wasn't strict, but she wasn't particularly caring either.

The husband was so absorbed in missing his ex-wife that he turned a blind eye to her, his dispensable wife.

The occasional thoughtfulness and tenderness was also because of the care she took for Liu Siyu.

Later, the burden of life made her almost forget that she was a woman.

I can't say that I like Liu Siyu, especially when she bullies Liu Sihan, I feel a little disgusted with her.

I was just taking care of you based on my heart, but I never expected to receive such warmth.

Apart from her son, this was the first person who felt sorry for the cut on her hand.

Her voice softened a bit, "Mom, keep the money. The clothes will be ready before the New Year."

When Liu Sihan saw her mother and sister caring about each other, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

I thought to myself, this is probably the warmth of family.

Lai Xi was very efficient and delivered the medicinal materials the next day.

Liu Siyu took the herbs and was very satisfied.

"Thank you Laixi."

Lai Xi shook his head and took out the remaining money, "There is still one or two taels of silver left."

Liu Siyu looked at Lai Xi in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to use all your money to buy medicine?"

Lai Xi sighed secretly. He wanted to buy more, but that would require others to have some for sale.

"I'm afraid I'll have to find another way to buy medicine next time."

"Why?" Liu Siyu frowned. She couldn't bear to throw away such a hidden supplier.
