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

Liu Siyu was quick-witted and pulled Liu Sihan behind a man.

Old Mrs. Qiao's crutch hit the man right on the head.

The man came out to watch the fun and was hit with a cane for no apparent reason, which instantly ignited his temper.

He snatched the cane and threw it into the yard with a bang.

Old Mrs. Qiao lost her balance and fell on her butt with a thud.

She immediately sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, "I can't live like this anymore. Even an old woman like me is bullied..."

Before she could finish howling, the man shot out a pair of flaming eyes.

"You, Qiao, are too arrogant. You dare to ride on the necks of our Liu family and shit on them, and you don't even bother to ask who I, Liu Laosan, am. Today, I will make the decision. I will call our Liu clan elders and the village chief to cut off all ties with us."

After Liu Laosan finished speaking, he walked out.

Everyone else was just watching the fun.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable to them, Old Mrs. Qiao and her two aunts immediately appealed to Wang's emotions and reason.

Wang was a little embarrassed and looked at Liu Sihan.

Liu Sihan unexpectedly insisted on not compromising.

The village chief and clan elders were all invited. After listening to Liu Laosan's exaggerations on the way, the two of them, who already disliked Old Lady Qiao, became even more inclined to Liu Sihan's family.

The two aunts were angry and anxious, and kept instigating Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao was reluctant to give up this cash cow. Once the severance of the relationship was made public, it would be useless to use filial piety to put pressure on her.

He immediately started to act like a spoiled brat.

But the clan leader didn't buy her talk and slammed the table.

"That's enough. Although Wang Chunhua is your daughter, she is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family once she marries into our Liu family. Everything must be done according to the wishes of her husband's family. Although Haoran is gone, his son Sihan has grown up."

"You force a child like this, and I think it's reasonable to break off the relationship."

As he said this, he looked at the village chief. He was the clan leader, and although he had a certain amount of authority, the village chief's rights could not be ignored.

If he was willing to nod, all the villagers would side with him, and no matter how powerful Old Mrs. Qiao was, she would eventually be outnumbered.

The power of a group cannot be overcome by one person's bullying.

With the support of the whole village, breaking off the engagement would be a piece of cake.

From now on, the mother and her two sons will not be gossiped about in the village because of the breaking of the relationship.

The village chief also understood this. He glanced at Liu Siyu, but spoke in an official tone.

"This is your Liu family's family affair. I can't interfere."

He just wanted to embarrass Liu Siyu. Firstly, because he had been embarrassed last time, and secondly, this family had become rich but had not even offered to treat him, the village chief, to a meal.

Now that someone has asked him for help, he naturally wants to give them a try.

Liu Siyu immediately understood what he meant and walked to the village chief and whispered quietly.

"If you help me this time, I have a way to keep everyone from going hungry. I'll tell you after it's done. Your prestige in the village will surely be even higher in the future."

The village chief was delighted and changed the subject.

"However, Mrs. Qiao's family is too bullying. As the head of the village, I can't bear to see Haoran's child left alone."

"As long as Wang and the two children ask to sever the relationship, I will do them justice."

Wang said nothing, and Liu Sihan insisted on breaking off the engagement.

Old Mrs. Qiao saw that there was no hope, but she was unwilling to leave in disgrace.

He proposed to ask for ten taels of silver.

The family's money was all in Liu Siyu's hands, and with the incident of Old Lady Qiao forcing her to get married for good fortune, she had already been on guard.

He only told Wang that he made money from business and bought a lot of things for the family, but he never told her how much money he made.

Even Liu Sihan didn't know how much money he had earned.

Wang only had the few vegetables and fruits given by Liu Siyu, and she also spent a lot of money on cotton and bed sheets.

The remaining bit was given to Old Mrs. Qiao, one or two ounces, but there wasn't much left.

Wang had no choice but to tell the truth.

"All the money we earn at home is used to buy food and Siyu's dowry. The remaining one or two taels of silver is already with mother. I only have a few hundred copper coins left. I really can't afford ten taels of silver."

Old Mrs. Qiao was furious when she heard this.

"You had money to prepare a dowry for that bitch, but you didn't have money to honor me. I should have strangled you to death."

Wang felt a pain in her heart.

"Then just treat me as dead. From the moment you sold me to the Liu family, our fate as mother and daughter ended."

"Stop talking nonsense here. If you don't give me ten taels of silver today, I won't leave. No matter what you say, it won't work."

Liu Siyu could afford ten taels of silver, but was unwilling to let the old woman get away with it.

He walked slowly to Old Lady Qiao and said calmly:

"If you want to stay, then stay. I'm the one who earns money for this family. I'm going to get married in a couple of days. When the food at home is gone, you can only dig wild vegetables."

"If you want to get ten taels of silver, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it even if you turn into a pile of ashes."

When Mrs. Qiao heard these words, she really wanted to pull out Liu Siyu's tendons and skin her alive.

But she also knew that Liu Siyu was a ruthless person, and she probably wouldn't get much advantage by playing dirty with her.

In addition, everyone was saying that Liu Siyu made the money by selling the secret recipe left by her father.

As long as this girl is taken away as a dowry, she really has no choice.

Thinking that the secret of fermented bean curd had been discovered by them, he could set up a business when he returned.

Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to get something ready-made.

Old Mrs. Qiao stopped throwing a tantrum and stood up to brush the dust off her clothes.

"I won't argue with you, a little bastard. For my daughter's sake, I won't take the ten taels of silver, but the pieces of cloth and the food at home are my filial piety."

"And that cabinet and those two boxes, let them be the last token of our mother-daughter relationship."

Liu Sihan hurriedly stopped him.

"If you take everything away, we will have nothing to eat. And the cabinet and box are my sister's dowry. You can't take them away."

Mrs. Qiao suddenly sat down again and said, "If you don't let me take it away, I won't leave."

Wang forced a smile at Liu Siyu.

"Or you can take half of the food you don't want to eat, and leave your dowry untouched. My things can be regarded as your last filial tribute to me."

Liu Siyu smiled faintly.

"It's your freedom to honor whoever you want, but those two boxes and the cabinet were made at Carpenter Tan's house, and they haven't been paid for yet. Whoever takes them must pay. The total is five taels of silver. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"that is not……"

Wang knew that it was a gift from Carpenter Tan and he didn't ask for money at all. She just didn't want to continue to argue about it and be laughed at.

I think it’s not too much to just give one box.

Liu Siyu didn't wait for her to finish her words and said directly:

"Filial piety is human nature. I have no objection to you giving this family away."

"But the premise is that I will take away everything my father left me and everything I earned. You raised me for seven or eight years, and I will also raise Sihan for a few years. As for other relationships, we will cut them off once and for all, and from now on, we will go our separate ways."

Wang didn't expect Liu Siyu to say that.

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

Liu Siyu pretended not to see it. If she wanted to be a good person, she should earn it herself. Her life was already so difficult, and she was not in the mood to sympathize with others.

Liu Sihan knew that her mother's indecision made her sister angry.

To be honest, he didn't like his mother hesitating about this matter.

Speak immediately.

"Mom, my sister is our family. Have you forgotten how grandma bullied us? They are just blood-sucking bugs. There is no family affection in their eyes."

Wang choked up and said, "You guys are forcing me, just force me to death."

Liu Sihan's eyes also turned red.

"Mom, it was grandma and the others who forced you. Don't tell me, Dad, and my sister are not as close to you as they are to you?"

Wang was speechless.
