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

The person who spoke first rolled his eyes.

"Let's go and take a closer look. If there is any way to make money, we can ask."

Liu Siyu and the other two did not realize that they were being targeted and were still carefully selecting items in front of the stall.

Wang picked up a wooden comb and said, "Siyu, pick out whatever you like and I'll buy it for you."

Liu Siyu was stunned. What was going on?

Even the miser has started to pluck his feathers. Could it be that the sun has risen from the west?

Seeing Liu Siyu making a fuss, Wang glanced at her with dissatisfaction.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm usually tight-fisted, but I made some money today. Besides, you're getting married, so I have to buy you some household items."

The two people not far away heard that the eldest daughter of the Liu family was going to get married, and they became even more curious.

They had heard a lot about Liu Siyu from Old Mrs. Qiao.

They said that she appeared to be high-minded, but secretly she was flirting with men everywhere and was obsessed with marrying into a wealthy family.

My preconceived impression of Liu Siyu was very bad.

The woman nudged the person next to her, looking gossipy.

"Sister Cuifen, did we hear correctly? Didn't they say that the eldest daughter of the Liu family is so ambitious that she doesn't even look down on the Huang family and is determined to marry into a wealthy family? Why is she here choosing her dowry?"

Cuifen curled her lips.

"I think he probably had it in his mind and couldn't hide it anymore, so he hastily decided on someone."

With all the dirty brainwashing from Old Lady Qiao, anyone who doesn't know the truth will think the worst of Liu Siyu.

The woman next to her nodded, thinking that this made sense. "Why don't we go over and find out which family she has chosen?"

The two of them seemed to want to meet Wang by chance.

The closer you get to the stall owner, the more enthusiastic his voice becomes.

"You've come to the right place today. Girls from all over the country come to me to prepare their dowries. Look at this bronze mirror. It's so finely crafted. It's no worse than those in jewelry shops."

Liu Siyu shook her head. This rough workmanship was not as clear as using a basin of water to take a picture.

Seeing that Liu Siyu didn't like it, the stall owner picked up another wooden comb.

"Look at this comb. The gears are neither too sparse nor too dense, and there are peach blossoms carved on it. It is not only easy to use but also beautiful."

Liu Siyu took it in her hand and looked at it. It was okay and better than the one at home.

The stall owner took the opportunity to pick up another fan.

"This is also good. It has lotus flowers embroidered on it. There are also red headbands, red veils, sachets and pouches. As long as girls like it, I have it all here."

Liu Siyu secretly curled her lips. The stall owner was really good at boasting. Even these crudely made things became fine products in her mouth.

I’m afraid the stall owner has never seen such exquisite things.

But considering that they are just setting up a street stall, they can’t sell truly exquisite items here.

Just pick up the more practical comb and wooden hairpin.

"How much are these two? Just tell me the actual price and I'll take them."

The stall owner was slightly disappointed.

When I heard that he was here to buy dowry, I thought I had met a big customer, but he only picked two items.

Then he glanced at Wang again.

"A girl's marriage is a lifelong event. As a mother, you should help her choose two more things."

Wang smiled and nodded.

"My eldest daughter is getting married. Which family is she going to marry?"

A woman's voice came suddenly.

Wang looked up and saw that it was someone from her mother's village. She was somewhat happy.

"It's Aunt Cuifen and Aunt Guilan. I haven't seen you for several years. It's such a coincidence that we meet here today."

Cuifen smiled, took a step forward and touched Wang's clothes.

"It must be newly sewn. Why are you wearing it before the New Year?"

Wang smiled and explained that she came here specially to buy New Year's goods today. There was nothing to wear at home, so she had to put on her New Year's clothes first.

The one called Guilan curled the corners of her mouth meaningfully.

"What's going on? Is it because the girl is engaged to a rich man and dares not tell us because she is afraid that we will come to play with her?"

Wang's face froze, and she instinctively avoided talking about Liu Siyu's husband's family and deliberately changed the subject.

"What did the two aunts buy?"

Guilan became even more curious when she saw that Wang was unwilling to mention Liu Siyu's husband's family.

"Don't interrupt, tell us who this boy is from, so we can share in the good fortune."

Liu Siyu felt that the Tian family had nothing to offer except that they were a little poor, and most importantly, she didn't want these two people to keep entangled with each other.

"It's Tian Laixi from the Tian family in Xinghua Village."

The two of them widened their eyes, it turned out that they were from the Tian family.

That family caused such a big fuss back then, I guess everyone in the neighboring villages knew about it.

Guilan suddenly remembered their discussion just now. She was willing to jump into such a fire pit. She must be pregnant with a bastard.

It seems that the source of their money is not necessarily clean. It is very likely that they opened a hidden grid as others said.

With this thought in mind, I instantly lost the desire to continue the conversation. I quickly exchanged a few words and left.

They were afraid that the bad luck of the Tian family and the poverty of the Liu family would befall them.

Looking at the two fleeing figures, Wang frowned, and the joy she felt when they met each other disappeared completely.

Liu Sihan clenched his fists in hatred, and his determination to succeed became even stronger.

The person who was least affected was Liu Siyu. In her mind, these two people had nothing to do with her now, and they would probably have no intersection in the future.

Getting angry with such people is pure boredom.

He simply picked up a purse and waved it in his hand.

"How much is a purse, a hairpin, and a comb?"

The stall owner was a very perceptive person. After something like this happened, which girl would still be in the mood to continue shopping? He said cheerfully, "60 cents."

"Okay, pack them all up for me," Liu Siyu said as she took out 60 cents and handed them to the stall owner.

Just two steps away from the stall, Wang seemed a little uneasy.

"Isn't it too conspicuous for a widow like me to wear new clothes?"

Liu Siyu rolled her eyes at her.

"Are you still dwelling on what happened just now? They have mouths on their faces, they can say whatever they want, just treat it as if they farted."

Liu Sihan chuckled.

"Sister is right. It's obvious from the two people just now that they had bad intentions. Next time you see them, just pretend you don't know them."

"See? This is a wise man."

Liu Siyu specially gave Liu Sihan a thumbs up.

Wang smiled and said, "Mother, you are overthinking."

After this little episode, when the three of them passed by Mobaozhai, Liu Siyu happily pulled Liu Sihan over.

"Let's go in and pick out the pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

Liu Sihan's face turned red with excitement.

Wang was waiting outside. When the brother and sister came out, they were holding a book, a small stack of rice paper, and a brush. Liu Sihan also had an inkstone in her hand.

"Did you buy everything?"

Liu Sihan was filled with joy.

"I've bought everything. My sister also bought me a book of miscellaneous notes, saying it would broaden my horizons and help me learn to read."

"It's just that the price is a bit high. These cost more than four taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, Wang did not yell about wasting money, but carefully picked up the book and looked at it in her hand.

"This is similar to the book your father often reads. It's really good."

Although the book was upside down, it did not affect Wang's love for the book at all.

It can be seen that she has a special and persistent love for books. I don’t know whether it is out of love for her husband or out of her yearning for culture.

Liu Siyu smiled and reminded: "Okay, put these things in the bag first, don't put them in the backpack and get them wet."

Liu Sihan responded with a smile, carefully wrapped the things and put them in his arms.

The next stop was the tofu shop. Liu Siyu was a little surprised to see that her former colleague, Boss Li, was not there.

He asked the new guy, "Why don't we see Boss Li today?"

The guy smiled and said, "I heard he went to work at the dock. Are you here to buy tofu?"
