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

The man paused, frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he bent down.

"If you don't mind, I'll carry you back."

Liu Siyu immediately forced a smile, thinking that this was like meeting a noble person, only a fool would care.

Politely said: "I'm so sorry."

After saying this, he was afraid that the boy would regret it, so he immediately added another sentence.

"Thank you very much."

The moment I lay on the boy's shoulder, I truly felt the meaning of the four words "skinny as a stick".

Although Liu Siyu is also thin, she still has some flesh compared to the thinness of the boy.

Suddenly I felt a little worried whether I could carry her home with her skinny body.

The subconscious words have already left my mouth, "Am I too heavy?"

The boy just smiled faintly.

"How heavy can a girl like you be? Even if you carry a load of 100 kilograms, I won't even frown."

Liu Siyu smiled, and suddenly thought of Liu Sihan who went to Xinghua Village to look for someone, and hurriedly said: "My brother is still in your village."

The boy paused slightly and spoke slowly.

"Your brother is at my house. My mother saw that his clothes were all wet, so she asked him to warm himself by the fire first. I came out to look for my father."

Only then did Liu Siyu feel relieved. It seemed that this family was quite kind.

Along the way, the only sounds were the dripping rain and the boy's footsteps.

She felt a little embarrassed and started to make small talk.

"Your father seems to like calves very much?"

In fact, what she wanted to ask was why your father cared so much about our family's affairs.

The boy seemed to know what she was thinking.

"My family used to raise cattle, and my father has a deep affection for cattle. Besides, there are only a few families in this area who own cattle. My father was muttering last night that your calf is about to give birth."

Liu Siyu suddenly felt a little ashamed. She had been cursing the father and son as crazy in her heart.

Hearing these words at this moment, my liking for the boy deepened a little bit.

The two chatted casually along the way.

The boy is called Tian Lai Xi, he is 18 years old this year, the third child in the family, and everyone in the village calls him Sanwazi.

As soon as the two entered the village, they were interrupted by a sharp voice.

"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Liu family? Why is she being carried back by a boy in broad daylight..."

Liu Siyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mrs. Zhang from the village. She felt something was wrong.

Mrs. Zhang was a gossiper. Whenever she saw two ants coming out of the nest one after another, she would want to gossip a little.

At this moment, seeing Liu Siyu being carried back by the man, her whole face was full of gossip, as if a huge secret had been revealed.

Liu Siyu turned her head and glared at Mrs. Zhang fiercely.

"I just sprained my ankle, and they were kind enough to carry me back."

He turned to Lai Xi and said, "Let's go."

Lai Xi also sensed Mrs. Zhang's ill intentions and walked faster.

"Where did you sprain your ankle? How did you happen to run into someone from Xinghua Village?"

Mrs. Zhang asked in a hoarse voice, and her voice immediately attracted the neighbors, and many of them poked their heads out of the house.

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows proudly and wanted to gossip a few more times, but the two of them disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.

The neighbors also poked their heads out, took a few glances, and then retreated. However, such gossip was a fatal temptation to Mrs. Zhang.

He immediately ignored the loud rain and hurried to catch up.

In the Liu family courtyard, Wang saw Liu Siyu being carried back, frowned slightly, and hurried forward.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I sprained my ankle," Liu Siyu said concisely.

Wang just glared at her, then turned to the boy and said politely, "You are the third child of the Tian family, right?"

"Well, is my dad here?"

Wang smiled, a rare smile on her face, "I'm here, looking after the calves in the cowshed!"

As he said this, he welcomed the two of them into the house.

The moment he turned around, he saw Mrs. Zhang following closely behind him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhang walked to the door of the main room with a smile on her face, her triangular eyes rolling around.

"I heard that the eldest girl sprained her ankle, so I came to take a look."

Wang knew Mrs. Zhang's character and glanced at the two people in the room.

He raised his eyebrows and blocked the door.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had no intention of leaving, she didn't care about her image and said with her hands on her hips:

"Mrs. Zhang, don't think I don't know what's in your gut. If you want to watch the fun, go somewhere else. If you want to gossip, you'd better weigh your bones."

When Mrs. Zhang saw Wang getting angry, she took a step back with a forced smile.

But he still stretched his head to look into the house.

Lai Xi didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived, and he stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Liu Siyu on his shoulder was very calm. She didn't care about reputation at all.

He patted Lai Xi's shoulder and said, "Put me down."

Lai Xi felt relieved. He put Liu Siyu on the chair, turned around and prepared to leave.

He knew the importance of a girl's reputation and didn't want to cause more trouble for the orphan and her widow.

Liu Siyu felt a little guilty, and thought of the rabbit she caught yesterday and said:

"Thank you for carrying me back. Let's have lunch first.

Wang felt that this was inappropriate.

She is a widow, bringing her unmarried daughter and leaving a boy at home for dinner. Isn't this giving others something to gossip about?

But she couldn't refuse in front of others, so she just curled her lips and agreed, "Yes, let's eat first."

Lai Xi shook his head quickly.

"No, my mother is waiting for me to go back for dinner."

Wang wanted to take advantage of the situation and send Lai Xi out, but Mrs. Zhang blocked the door.

"I really want to invite you to dinner, why don't you appreciate it?"

Lai Xi clenched his hands and gave Mrs. Zhang a cold look with deep eyes.

Mrs. Zhang seemed frightened by the look and took a step back unconsciously.

But then his gossiping heart overcame his fear and he still blocked the door with his neck.

Liu Siyu frowned. She had plenty of opportunities to deal with Mrs. Zhang, but for now she let Lai Xi leave first.

She couldn't let someone send her back with such good intentions only to end up getting into trouble with Mrs. Zhang's foul mouth.

Then she smiled and said, "Since Auntie is waiting for you to eat, I won't keep you here."

Lai Xi felt relieved and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhang.

"Young lady, you are afraid of gossip. I will stay here to accompany you."

Liu Siyu had seen people with thick skin, but she had never seen someone so shameless.

His face suddenly darkened, "Aunt Zhang, you should go back. My family is poor, and I don't have any extra charity to give you."

A normal person would feel extremely ashamed and angry after hearing this, but Mrs. Zhang acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"I'm doing this to entertain my distinguished guests. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."

Wang was so angry that she pushed Mrs. Zhang out the door and said, "Don't be so shameless in front of me."

When Mrs. Zhang saw that Wang was serious, her voice suddenly rose several pitches, "Oh, you are feeling guilty..."

Before she could finish her words, Wang picked up a broom and hit her in the face.

"Go away, it's none of your business to interfere in my family affairs."
