Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting
Chapter 6 Language is a double-edged sword
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment. She thought Wang would at least consider the face of her fellow villagers, but she didn't expect to hit a wall.
She did want to have a fight with Wang, but since they lived in the same village, she knew clearly who had real ability and who was just a show-off.
He had no choice but to cover his beaten face and leave in shame.
Liu Siyu burst out laughing. Wang's personality was quite effective in dealing with people like Mrs. Zhang.
Suddenly I understand Wang's fierceness. A widow with two children, if she is soft-hearted, she will be eaten up by others without leaving anything behind.
When Lai Xi saw that Mrs. Zhang had left, he didn't dare to stay any longer and said goodbye in a hurry.
At this time, Tian Qingshan from the cowshed also came out. He had already seen almost everything about the calf's condition.
But because of Mrs. Zhang in the yard, he couldn't come out for a while.
The Liu family is an orphan with a widowed mother, so it is inevitable that the father and son will be misunderstood.
He coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Niu just caught a cold. I'll go back and dig some herbs and have them delivered to you this afternoon."
Wang felt relieved when she heard that Xiao Niu was not seriously injured.
But today's situation is indeed special, and it is not appropriate to ask for invitation to dinner.
After seeing off Tian's father and son, Wang then remembered Liu Siyu and hurriedly helped her into the room.
After changing into clean clothes, Liu Sihan also came back. Looking at her sister's swollen ankle, her eyes were full of worry.
"Mom, my sister's feet are so swollen, how about calling a doctor for her?"
Liu Siyu looked up and glanced at Wang, without much hope in her heart.
In fact, there was nothing serious wrong with her ankle, it was just a stitch in the side, and she had her own way.
Wang looked at Liu Siyu's swollen ankle and touched her empty purse, feeling torn.
Just when Liu Sihan thought there was hope, Wang's face suddenly darkened.
"Everyone has sprained their ankle. It will be fine after a few days of rest. I don't have the money to hire a doctor for her."
After saying that, he walked out of the room first.
Liu Sihan looked embarrassed, "Sister, mother..."
Liu Siyu shook her head. After all, she was a stepmother, and her relationship with the original owner was not good.
She didn't expect it at all.
But Wang's cold words still made people feel a little cold.
As the old saying goes, a kind word warms you through three months of spring, while an evil word hurts you through six months of summer.
Language is a double-edged sword. Wang Shi’s success or failure is due to his mouth.
When she faces evil people, sharp words are her best protection.
But at home, sharp words will only lower the temperature of the family.
The original owner had a bad temper, no wonder Liu Sihan was so timid and cowardly.
It was difficult for Liu Sihan to develop a strong personality in front of two women who were at odds with each other.
After being rejected by Wang, Liu Siyu directly asked Liu Sihan to help borrow a glass of white wine.
When the white wine is lit in the coarse porcelain bowl, dip your fingers into the burning white wine and rub it back and forth on your ankles. Although this method is painful, it is very effective.
In the afternoon, the Tian family brought medicinal herbs. To express her gratitude, Wang gave away the rabbit she had caught with great difficulty.
Liu Siyu felt so distressed. She had finally gotten a rabbit, but had to give it away before she could even taste it.
Fortunately, the calf gradually got better after drinking the herbs.
The swelling in Liu Siyu's ankle was gradually subsiding, and she was able to wear shoes after a few days.
She didn't have time to lie in bed all day, she had to make the acorn tofu quickly.
After looking at the acorns that were almost soaked, he went to the kitchen.
Although this family is poor, they have a complete range of basic tools, such as this stone mill. With it, they don't have to go to other people's homes to grind things.
The stone mill is not big and is placed at the innermost part of the kitchen, occupying a small half of the space. A large wooden basin is placed under the stone mill.
After everything was ready, Liu Siyu said loudly: "Sihan, come in and help me grind the acorns."
Liu Sihan, who was chopping firewood in the yard, was delighted because his sister was finally going to grind acorns.
He was very much looking forward to it, as his sister had once said that acorns could be used to make delicious food.
When she entered the room and saw that the wooden basins were already placed, Liu Sihan's eyes revealed anticipation.
"Sister, has this millstone been cleaned?"
Liu Siyu couldn't help but tap Liu Sihan on the forehead.
She smiled and said, "Do you think my sister is so unhygienic? I can't see the dust on this grinding stone."
Liu Sihan touched the forehead that had been tapped by his sister, feeling quite embarrassed.
Immediately take down the millstone hanging on the wall and put up the millstone.
He flattered her, "Sister, I will turn the millstone, and you can add acorns on the side."
Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "With your skinny arms and legs, can you push the mill?"
"Don't underestimate me," Liu Sihan grabbed the mill crutch and started pushing and pulling the mill.
The creaking sound of the millstone matched the whirring of the millstone, like a ditty.
Liu Siyu was a little stunned. Although the stone mill was not big, pushing it was not an easy task.
I didn’t expect Sihan’s tiny body to have such strength.
"Sister, what are you looking at? Hurry up and add some acorns."
Liu Siyu then came to his senses and scooped a spoonful of acorns with a spoon and added them to the feed inlet in the middle of the millstone.
As the upper and lower millstones turned, the creamy yellow flour paste flowed down from around the millstones and into the wooden basin below.
After a while, sweat began to seep out of Liu Sihan's skinny little face, and his breathing was not as calm as at the beginning, and he was slightly panting.
Liu Siyu smiled faintly and took the grinding wheel.
"Let me do it, and you add the acorns on the side."
Liu Sihan saw the faint smile on his sister's lips and thought that his sister was laughing at him for being weak.
Unconvinced, he pulled the mojiao faster and panted, "I, I can pull it."
Liu Siyu felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw Sihan who was so eager to show off in front of her.
I didn’t expect that this younger brother is so strong-willed despite his young age.
Then she said tactfully: "Sister knows you are capable, but I am a little cold standing here all the time, so I want to push the mill to warm myself up."
Wang paused as she entered the room. It was rare to see such a warm scene.
In the past, Liu Siyu always looked down on them mother and son and always spoke ill of them.
Thinking of this, Wang's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and the doubts in her heart slowly emerged again.
She always felt that this girl was a little strange recently, maybe there was something dirty on her.
Looking up, I saw Liu Siyu working hard at the millstone, with a hint of joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. I looked her up and down again, and she was still as thin as before.
It also seemed different, but she couldn't tell exactly where it was different.
But in the past, Liu Siyu always frowned, and there was always disdain in her eyes when she looked at them mother and son.
Wang shook her head quickly. The housework was piling up like a mountain, and she had no time to think about it.
"How's the grinding? Don't waste your time and effort only to end up with something inedible."
Just as Liu Siyu was about to speak, a man's voice came from outside the house, "Siyu, is your ankle better?"
Liu Siyu paused while pushing the millstone. This sound sounded so familiar.
When I looked up, I saw Wang had a dark face, and even Liu Sihan beside her was full of anger.
Her brows tightened, it seemed that this man in the courtyard was not very popular.
