Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting
Chapter 97: Poor and Lamentable
Ximei responded and hurried to clean up.
After helping her elder sister lie down, Xiaocao said a few words of comfort and ran to the back to help clean up.
The boy named Lu Sheng followed his mother closely. When he saw her lying down, he also sat on the straw mat and stayed by her side.
The little hands were trembling slightly and the eyes were filled with tears.
The old lady also sat down and held Lu Sheng in her arms.
He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, your grandpa and uncles are here, your mother will be fine."
As he spoke, he patted the person lying down lovingly, "Daniel, don't worry about anything when you go home, just rest and take care of yourself."
Tian Danier's tears suddenly burst out, but she stubbornly blocked them with her arms.
Liu Siyu stood aside, feeling somewhat bewildered. She felt sympathy for Tian Dani, but was unable to empathize with her.
From the brief conversation between the family, we learned that this was not the first time she had been subjected to domestic violence.
With the support of parents and brothers at home, getting a divorce shouldn't be that difficult.
She has been enduring it all the time, but her parents have to clean up the mess for her time and time again.
They look pitiful, but they can't stand up to fight against fate. Such people are really pitiful and lamentable.
She wanted to go up and say something to comfort him, but she couldn't find the words to comfort him.
Seeing that everyone in the family was busy coming in and out, although no one asked her to work, she didn't feel comfortable going to her room to sleep.
I looked up and saw Lai Xi carrying out a bundle of firewood from the small firewood shed at the back. There were scratches on his hands and blood stains on his clothes. It seemed that he had had a fight with someone.
He took two steps forward and whispered, "Are you hurt?"
Lai Xi shook his head, "No, this belongs to someone else."
Then he looked at Liu Siyu apologetically.
"I'm sorry that you have to deal with all this right after you arrive. Why don't you stay with my grandma for a while?"
Liu Siyu shook her head.
"I'll go with you to fetch the firewood."
Lai Xi hesitated slightly.
"Why don't you go check on my mom? There's dust everywhere back there. You have to go back to your mom's house tomorrow, it won't be good if you make it dirty."
"Going back to my parents' home is not like visiting relatives. No one will mind even if it's a little dirty."
As he spoke, he had already caught up with Lai Xi.
She hadn't noticed it in the morning. This woodshed was connected to their room. It had been reinforced and looked like a normal house.
This side is obviously much lower and there are spider webs everywhere. It would take a lot of time to move a room full of firewood to the yard.
Liu Siyu didn't act pretentiously. She picked up a bundle of firewood and prepared to go out. Unfortunately, she underestimated her own strength.
Before he could stand up, he was dragged to the ground by the firewood.
Lai Xi hurriedly reached out and pulled her up, looked at the firewood, and then looked at Liu Siyu.
I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.
"You should go to the front. If you feel embarrassed, go to the kitchen to cook."
Liu Siyu was even more embarrassed because it was basically Wang who cooked for her during the time she had been here.
Her cooking level is that of a full-level alchemist, and the quality depends entirely on luck.
Now that we are here, it’s not a good idea to just mix everything together.
Seeing Laicai gritting his teeth and carrying a bundle of firewood, Liu Siyu felt a little ashamed. Although she was older than the boy, she was far less strong than him.
Laicai was also very considerate. When he carried the firewood and walked in front of Liu Siyu, he said deliberately:
"Second sister-in-law, leave these firewood to us. Listen to my second brother and go cook."
Liu Siyu felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her.
He took the broom from Xiaocao's hand.
"Little sister, I'll do the cleaning. Why don't you cook? I'm not a good cook and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!"
Xiaocao glanced at Ximei out of habit.
Ximei nodded.
"Then you should listen to your second sister-in-law. She just got married and may not be familiar with the things in the kitchen."
Tian Qingshan and Lai Fu didn't say anything, just glanced over here and continued to move firewood.
The woodshed had never been lived in, so it was not easy to clean up. I was busy until sundown and finally managed to make a bed with branches and wheat straw.
Put two mattresses on it and it becomes a home.
Dinner was still as simple as before, except for corn paste in Tian Danier's bowl.
After returning to the room, Liu Siyu finally relaxed, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed, pounding her sore legs.
Not long after, Lai Xi also came in with a basin of hot water in his hand and brought it directly to Liu Siyu's feet.
"You've worked hard today, soak your feet."
Liu Siyu was delighted. Looking at the smoky hot air, she quickly kicked off her shoes and socks, then rolled up her trouser legs and tested the water temperature with her feet.
It's a little hot, just right for soaking your feet.
He couldn't help but look up at Lai Xi and said, "You are quite considerate. The water is neither too hot nor too cold, just right."
Lai Xi just curled his lips slightly and said, "Put the water here when you are done washing. I will pour it out later."
Liu Siyu said nothing.
Lai Xi walked straight out of the house, brushed off the dust on his body, and then went to the kitchen to wash.
When he entered the room, Liu Siyu had fallen asleep, but her feet were still soaking in the basin.
Lai Xi felt a little apologetic, as he was so tired on the second day after joining the company.
He gently lifted Liu Siyu's feet and prepared to wipe her feet with a cotton towel.
Liu Siyu woke up suddenly, and subconsciously retracted her foot when she saw Lai Xi's actions.
Lai Xi grabbed her feet and said sternly, "Don't move."
While Liu Siyu was still in a daze, Lai Xi had already wiped her feet.
His tone became gentle again.
"Go to the bed and warm yourself up. The water in the basin has gone cold. Your feet have been soaked in vain."
Liu Siyu felt a little embarrassed and quickly curled up in her bed to take a nap.
After a while, I actually fell asleep.
Lai Xi came in after pouring the water and saw that Liu Siyu was breathing evenly. He didn't know whether she was really asleep or just pretending to sleep.
But I didn't disturb him, I just kept thinking about my own things quietly.
When I woke up the next day, I had dark circles under my eyes. I hadn't slept well for two days and felt a little lethargic.
Tian Qingshan saw it but didn't dare to remind him, but Lai Fu was much more direct.
"Three, take it easy tonight. There's a lot of time left. If you keep going like this, your health will collapse."
Lai Xi blushed, "I know."
He hurried to the kitchen and washed his face with cold water. He felt really wronged as he had done nothing, but he didn't say anything.
Today is the day Liu Siyu returns home.
After breakfast, the old lady urged the two to set off.
When they first arrived home, Wang didn't dare to ask too many questions in front of Lai Xi, and she was always polite when she spoke.
Liu Sihan’s situation is much simpler.
"Sister, have you had breakfast? Mom made some dough last night and said she would make steamed buns for lunch today."
Liu Siyu was delighted when she heard it.
"That's great. Let's steam more later so Lai Xi can take some back. I have to stay at my parents' house for one night."
Lai Xi understood instantly that Liu Siyu was going to send him back.
He also knew that Liu Siyu's family ran a small business, and some things might be inconvenient.
After lunch, he made the excuse that he was busy at home and wanted to go back.
Wang specially packed a dozen buns and doubled the amount of gifts they brought before sending them out.
Liu Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. She felt more comfortable in this home, even though it was not her home.
Suddenly I felt a little regretful. I was afraid that Grandma Wolf would play tricks on me, so I hurried to find Lai Xi. I knew that his family was poor, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
If I had been more patient and carefully looked for a place with a simple population, perhaps that year would not have been so difficult.
Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of Boss Li came from the yard.
"Is Miss Siyu here?"
