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

Her smiling attitude made her more than 10 times more friendly than when she first arrived.

"I'll try my best. It's best to have a hand-drawn drawing with all the dimensions marked. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't print out what you want."

Liu Siyu frowned. She was not a carpenter, so how could she know so much?

It's good enough if you can copy and draw what you want.

"Haven't you ever fought something like this before?"

Old Man Tan felt a little embarrassed, but still shook his head honestly.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is the first time I've seen a cabinet like this."

It’s no wonder that Old Man Tan has limited knowledge; he is just a carpenter who wanders around the countryside.

Not to mention a cabinet like this, he had never even made the cabinets used by wealthy families.

Liu Siyu felt a little embarrassed and thought about it.

"How about this? You make the two boxes and the desk first, and we can work together to determine the size of the cabinet. What do you think?"

Carpenter Tan's face flushed with excitement. Being able to create a style he had never seen before with his own hands made him happier than meeting his ancestors.

"Okay, okay. If my two sons and I hurry up, we can finish the boxes and cages in two days. We will also try to make the desks as soon as possible."

He said this while scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"After that, please ask the eldest girl to come to my house often and discuss the size and appearance of the cabinet together."

Liu Siyu couldn't help laughing when she saw the difference in Tan Mujiang's attitude before and after.

But for the sake of those pieces of furniture, I still held it in.

"Okay, then you can calculate how much money you want to pay. Should I pay it now or pay a deposit first?"

Wang was a little nervous. She was already feeling distressed about the money she had spent on the two boxes and the desk.

I'm really afraid that the price that Carpenter Tan will ask for the cabinet will be ridiculously high.

Carpenter Tan chuckled and said, "The cabinet you drew is very unique. It has broadened my horizons. I don't want the money for making the furniture."

Suddenly, he changed the subject, "As for the wood, let's not beat around the bush."

"As long as you can help me make the cabinet, the wood will be given to you by your uncle," he said while patting his chest to make the promise.

"Although it is a gift, it will never be adulterated. It is made of camphor wood as you requested."

Wang and Liu Sihan were very surprised.

They have lived in the village for so many years, but this is the first time they heard that Carpenter Tan would make furniture and give away wood for free. It was hard to believe for a while???

"Really...really don't want any money?"

Wang confirmed again and again.

Carpenter Tan looked at Liu Siyu and said, "I'll listen to you, young lady."

The meaning is very simple, as long as Liu Siyu is willing to teach, he is willing to teach.

The other two people's gazes instantly shifted to Liu Siyu.

Liu Siyu was being stared at by three pairs of eyes, but she was not at all nervous.

She raised her little face slightly and said, "Then I will reluctantly work hard for a few days, but I have to make it clear in advance that I don't want to deal with people who are too stupid."

Wang was startled, fearing that Liu Siyu's words would offend Old Man Tan and that he would ask her for money to make furniture, so she immediately pulled Liu Siyu's sleeve.

"How to talk."

Liu Siyu was not moved at all and still held her little face high. She finally got the chance to act like a big shot, wouldn't it be a shame for herself if she didn't do it?

Looking at the look in Carpenter Tan’s eyes, you can tell that this old man will definitely not refuse. Compared with those wages, intellectual property rights are not worth mentioning at all.

Thinking of intellectual property rights, Liu Siyu felt guilty, because she was also getting it for free from others.

Carpenter Tan was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt that the more capable a person was, the more arrogant he should be.

He immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best and will never let you down in woodworking."

Only after walking a long way away from the carpenter's house did Wang secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Sihan was much simpler. He couldn't help but praise the carpenter as soon as he left his house.

"Sister, you are amazing. You managed to scare Carpenter Tan with just a few words."

Liu Siyu smiled. What frightened Old Man Tan was not her words but the strange-looking high and low cabinet.

It seems that Carpenter Tan is a man with aspirations. At least he has never given up studying carpentry.

Otherwise, I wouldn't spend so much money on an unclear blueprint.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to Liu Siyu's mind. She wanted to wait until the furniture was finished to see the craftsmanship of Old Man Tan.

If you have good skills, we can consider cooperation.

But this matter needs long-term consideration. After all, it is not good for a girl like her to hang out with a group of men all day long.

Just as she was lost in thought, she saw Wang pushing her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Liu Siyu turned around and saw Liu Sihan, then shook her head.

"Sihan is still too young, otherwise it would be good to let her learn from Old Man Tan for a few days."

When Wang heard this, she was overjoyed.

"You mean, you want Carpenter Tan to take Sihan as his apprentice?"

Liu Siyu nodded slightly.

"I have this plan, but Sihan is too young, and carpentry requires a lot of strength."

"Sister, I'm already 10 years old, I'm not afraid of hardship."

He felt that if he could learn a good skill from Old Man Tan in this life, he would be able to protect his mother and sister in the future.

Wang immediately chimed in, "Yes, to learn a craft one has to work as an assistant for three years, then be an apprentice for another three years, and then become a master. Doesn't it have to start from elementary school?"

Liu Siyu still refused.

"A carpenter is still a craftsman after all. Sihan will go to school in the future, so why should he waste time there?"

Wang disagreed. Why was Old Man Tan so outstanding in the village? Wasn't it because he had a good skill?

If Sihan learns it, she will have a stable job in her life.

Sending their son to school was just a luxury. How could a family like theirs afford to support a real scholar?

Even if you grit your teeth and send them there for a year or two, at most they will learn a few words, and when they come back they will still have to work in the fields facing the loess and back to the sky.

"Si Yu, just help your brother this time. As long as Carpenter Tan accepts Si Han, he will have someone to rely on for the rest of his life. He will be able to help you when he becomes a master in the future. Besides, if your in-laws knew that Si Han had become a disciple and was learning the craft, they wouldn't dare to mistreat you on purpose."

Liu Siyu stopped and said to Wang seriously:

"Mom, you have to look at the long term. Sihan is only 10 years old. If she goes to school, she might be able to gain some fame. Even if she can't even pass the exam, it's better to study for a few years and do business with me than to work hard."

Wang was silent, staring at Liu Siyu blankly, as if she had just met her today.

I didn’t expect that Liu Siyu had already made such long-term plans for Sihan.

Her eyes turned red and she looked slightly puzzled.

"You can think so far for Sihan. Are you no longer resentful of your mother's stupidity these days? If so, why...why did you marry into the Tian family?"

This question had been circling in Wang's mind for many times, and she finally asked it today.

Liu Siyu didn't know how to answer this question.

She did blame Wang for a long time in her heart for almost getting sold.

But she also truly cares for Liu Sihan, not because blood is thicker than water, but because every time when she was in the most difficult and helpless time, Liu Sihan always stepped forward and stood in front of her.

Although this figure was thin and weak, it was like a warm current that warmed her heart as she was in a strange world.

As for marrying Lai Xi, there were many factors, the most important of which was the yearning for freedom.

Here, just one sentence, "He is my brother."
