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

Liu Siyu frowned, knowing these people's good intentions, but leaving was definitely impossible.

"Let him go, and I'll pay for it."

Scarface looked at Liu Siyu deeply.

"Do you really want to wade into this muddy water?"

Liu Siyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and just took out a purse from his pocket.

"There is exactly eight taels here, please release him quickly."

Scarface winked at the man next to him.

"Go and see."

A man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face walked up to Liu Siyu, stretched out his hand, and was ready to take advantage of her when receiving the money.

Liu Siyu seemed to know what he was thinking and immediately withdrew her hand.

"We can't just give you the money like this. We need to ask the village chief to be a witness and resolve this matter once and for all."

When the onlookers heard this, someone immediately went to call the village chief.

Scarface sneered.

"Since you want to be the boss, I will do you a favor, but I have to say this in advance. If you don't have enough money in your pocket, I will not be merciful."

"If you don't serve me well tonight, you will have to spend the rest of your life in a low-class brothel tomorrow."

He didn't believe that a young girl could go out with eight taels of silver.

Everyone was a little skeptical.

Liu Siyu was wearing a coarse cotton-padded jacket and looked like a little farm girl. It was impossible for her to go out with seven or eight taels of silver on her.

I couldn't help but worry for her.

Boss Li was so anxious that he struggled desperately.

When he met Liu Siyu for the first time, Liu Siyu was still wearing tattered clothes.

At that time, he also said that there was a patient at home who needed medicine.

He also has sick people in his family and knows how difficult it is for a family to raise a sick person.

It is absolutely impossible to come up with eight taels of silver.

He said hurriedly, "Good child, I know... I know you want to help our family. I... I, Boss Li, will remember this thought in my heart, but today's matter is not for you, a girl... a girl, to handle, so leave now."

Scarface raised his hand and forced Boss Li and his men to surround Liu Siyu in an instant.

"It's too late to leave now."

Liu Siyu was a little nervous, but tried to appear calm.

"I will not give up halfway after I take over this matter. When the village chief comes, I will take out eight taels of silver."

Boss Li became even more anxious and immediately hugged Scarface's legs.

"Second Master, that child has no relatives or friends in my family. I just... I just have good intentions. I beg you not to make things difficult for her. Although I am already in my early 30s, I have plenty of strength. I will definitely raise eight taels of silver by selling myself as a slave."

The two little girls and the skinny woman at the door of the main room were crying together.

"Dad, I am willing to go with them. You can't sell myself into slavery."

The older girl compromised for the first time.

Scarface was delighted and was about to agree when Boss Li grabbed his ankle again.

"You can't take my daughter away. I borrowed the money. It has nothing to do with them."

Scarface felt that Boss Li’s voice was like a annoying fly.

He raised his foot and kicked, and Boss Li instantly fell one meter away like a broken kite.

Blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Scarface seemed unsatisfied and wanted to kick again.

Liu Siyu's heart skipped a beat and she said hurriedly:

"Stop it. Uncle Li wants to sell himself as a slave. I am willing to pay him eight taels of silver. If you kick him and hurt him, he will be worthless."

Scarface raised his foot and slowly put it down after hearing Liu Siyu's words.

Just then, the village chief arrived.

He heard the noise here at the beginning and has been hiding at home since then.

First, he couldn't control Erdanzi, and second, he couldn't help Boss Li at all.

Nothing to be upset about.

When he heard that someone was willing to pay back the money for Boss Li, he naturally ran over to be a witness.

Master Wei also came with them, and they both saw that the person who attacked was a little girl.

They all looked at Liu Siyu in surprise.

Liu Siyu opened the purse, inside was eight taels of silver that she had moved out of the ice cellar.

With the silver, the village chief and the teacher acted as guarantors.

Erdanzi had no choice but to wave his hand to take the eight taels of silver, took out the IOU from his pocket and threw it into the village chief's hands.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The onlookers all moved away.

The older girl at the main hall door ran to Boss Li as soon as she was free.

He used his sleeve to wipe the blood from Boss Li's mouth, feeling distressed.

"Dad, how are you? Where are you hurt?"

Boss Li forced a smile and stood up with the help of his daughter.

"Dad is fine, just a minor skin injury, you and your sister must be scared!"

The girl shook her head, "Don't be afraid, Duo'er, it's just mother."

Boss Li staggered into the main room. His wife had already been helped up by her youngest daughter.

But his face was pale and he looked extremely weak.

Li Laoda picked up his thin wife and couldn't help complaining: "You are not in good health, why are you out here? What if you get hurt again, what will happen to me and the children?"

The woman just shed tears silently.

Erdanzi came with a group of people with a ferocious look on their faces, and left in a hurry.

After walking out of the door, he did not forget to turn back and glare at Liu Siyu.

He spat in dissatisfaction.

"Keep an eye on that girl. We went through so much trouble to lure Boss Li into the trap, all for his daughter."

"This has been ruined by a young girl. We can't let her get away with it like this."

The pointed-faced, monkey-faced, green-bean eyes rolled.

"Boss, I think we should change our target. That girl asked for eight taels of silver at once. She seems to be a fat sheep."

Scarface chuckled, "You're really smart."

After the debt collector left, the village chief returned the IOU to Boss Li.

He said earnestly: "You should be more careful in the future and don't be fooled by those people again."

Boss Li felt guilty and said, "Alas, I will never trust that wandering doctor again."

Master Wei walked up to Liu Siyu and smiled, a rare moment.

He was born a scholar, but he had not passed the imperial examination in his early 30s, so he had to obey his family's arrangement and have a biological child.

He opened a private school in Liulin Village, and he disdained Erdanzi's deceitful behavior.

But he was a foreigner and a weak scholar, so he had to close his eyes and cover his ears, immersing himself in his private school.

I didn't expect that a girl would dare to stand up, and I felt a little more admiration for her.

"You are the ones who came to my house this morning to ask about studying, right?"

Liu Siyu hurriedly responded with a smile, "Yes."

He pulled Liu Sihan over and said, "This is my younger brother. He is 11 years old this year. He can learn a few simple words at home. I hope you can accept him."

Master Wei's eyes lit up.

"Oh, have you been enlightened yet?"

Liu Sihan hurriedly put on a smile.

"My sister taught me. I only know a few simple words."

Master Wei was somewhat surprised. No wonder Liu Siyu was different from ordinary girls.

"Okay, I'll report in after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

After the village chief and Master Wei left, the other neighbors said a few words of comfort and then left.

Boss Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, Miss Siyu. I owe you another big favor today. After the Lantern Festival, we will go to the city to get the indenture document signed. From now on, I will work like a slave and never complain."
