“How much do the herbs cost?”

Li Xi glanced at him and said, "About eight cents."

"I choose two."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Li Xi extended her hand towards Gu Jingzhi.

Gu Jingzhi looked at her outstretched hand with some doubt, and tentatively extended his own hand, "Happy cooperation."

Li Xi thought he was taking too long, so she just held his hand and shook it up and down twice, then took her hand back without any reluctance and went back to her room. She had consumed too much energy today and needed to rest for a while.

Gu Jingzhi stood there and looked down at his hands. Apart from his mother and sister, this was the first time he held a girl's hand.

Her hands were more delicate than his own, but her palms were covered with thin calluses, giving him a feeling of strength.

Gu Jingzhi withdrew his hand, looked up at the blue sky, and raised the corners of his mouth.

……

Madam Liu didn't come back for two days, and the Li family continued to live their lives as usual. In the morning, Li Xi would go to the mountain to collect herbs after cooking, and stay at home to sort them out in the afternoon. Gu Jingzhi lived an even more carefree life than before, and would walk around in the yard every day, basking in the sun.

Only Hu Zi became increasingly silent. Every day he would sit on the threshold outside the Li family's door, looking towards the only road leading here.

Li Xi knew what he was waiting for, and Li Xi was also waiting.

She knew that the Liu family would have no good intentions if they kept Madam Liu, but she had already shown her "strength" in front of them, so she thought they would not dare to go too far. At most, they would scold her a few words or ask her to do more work.

This is good, it will also let her know the true face of the Liu family, and then she will know what to choose.

But Li Xi never expected that things would develop so outrageously. Just as she was about to go out that morning, Liu came to her house with her wife...

"What did you say?" Li Xi frowned and looked at Madam Liu who was hiding behind Liu.

Liu was frightened when she saw Li Xi's angry look, but when she thought of the money that Wang Yuanwai promised to give her, she suppressed her fear and swallowed and said, "Daya, your mother is not too old, it's normal for her to want to move on. You can't let your mother be a widow for your father all her life.

And Mr. Wang said that he will not just stand by and watch you and Hu Zi."

The borders were often plundered by the Huns, and countless men died on the battlefields or were captured as slaves by the Huns. Therefore, the border government offices have always supported widows to remarry, otherwise what would happen to the fertility rate at the borders?

So there is actually nothing wrong with what Liu said.

Li Xi didn't look at Liu. Her eyes were fixed on Madam Liu behind Liu.

"Is this what you think too?"

Hu Zi was very happy to see Lady Liu come back, but he never expected that his mother would tell them about her remarriage when she came back.

Hu Zi knew what remarriage meant. The father of the third child in their village was captured by the Huns, so his mother remarried to Uncle Wu Fu and left the third child to his grandparents.

"Mom, don't you want us anymore?" Hu Zi looked at Madam Liu with red eyes and choked with sobs.

Seeing Hu Zi's appearance, Lady Liu felt a little shaken. She had feelings for Tie Zhu, and she didn't want to do this until Tie Zhu's body was cold.

Mrs. Liu noticed that Mrs. Liu was wavering, so she reached out and pulled her hand, looking at her pleadingly.

Needless to say, Li Xi knew that this matter was the work of the Liu family.

"Are you sure you want to marry someone else before my father's body is cold?"

Li Xi looked at the hesitation in Lady Liu's eyes and sneered. The original owner's father had been so sincere to her for so many years and never let her do any dirty or tiring work. Unexpectedly, he raised such a heartless person.

Madam Liu looked at the sneer on Li Xi's face and felt that she was making fun of herself, and the guilt in her heart was suddenly swept away.

"I am sorry to your father, but your uncle needs money for his wedding. If you were willing to give me the money, I wouldn't have to do this." At the end, Madam Liu looked at Li Xi with resentment.

In her opinion, she could have been loyal to her husband, but it was Daya who took the money. She couldn't just watch her own brother go to jail.

After hearing her words, Li Xi laughed. What did she mean by this? Threatening herself.

If I don't give her money, she will remarry. She acts as if I forced her to remarry. She is really good at making excuses for herself.

The remarriage was definitely a plan of Liu's family, but since Madam Liu has me behind her, they certainly wouldn't dare to force her.

It takes two to tango for this kind of thing, and Madam Liu was definitely moved.

When Mrs. Liu heard what Liu Niang said, she didn't say anything. It would be fine if she could get the silver.

Li Xi would never agree to give money. This opportunity could not be opened. Once the Liu family knew that this was their family's weak point, their family would never have peace.

She would not give them this opportunity.

"Sister?" Hu Zi tugged at Li Xi's left hand, his eyes full of pleading. He didn't want to lose his mother.

Li Xi looked at Hu Zi's appearance and sighed in her heart. He was still so young.

"Uncle is getting married?" Li Xi sneered, "You've been sold once for him, do you want to be sold a second time?"

Li Xi was really disappointed with her. How come she still hadn't seen the true face of the Liu family until now? Or maybe she had already seen it clearly.

"Daya!" Madam Liu widened her eyes. She didn't expect Li Xi to say that.

Liu looked sad and said, "Daya, how can you say that she is your own mother? You are looking down on your mother!

Your mother has worked so hard to raise you two, you must not lose your conscience!"

Madam Liu no longer dodged her gaze towards Li Xi, and there was only resentment in her eyes.

Li Xi felt a chill in her heart when she saw the look she gave him. At this point, it seemed that she had made her decision.

"Am I wrong? Granny Liu should reflect on yourself. You sold five daughters and ended up raising a loser like Liu Yaozu. Shouldn't you reflect on whether you have done too much evil to raise such a scum who is worse than pigs and dogs?

Oh, no, I shouldn't say he is worse than pigs and dogs. This is insulting to pigs and dogs. How can a scum like him be compared with pigs and dogs? "

"Also, do you know what it means to break off a relationship? If you don't know, I don't mind going to Shijing Village again and teaching you."

"You still have no conscience? Do you know how to write conscience? Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your Liu family is the most conscienceless.

You have the nerve to come to our Li family and bark, who do you think you are!" Li Xi said with a cold face, really shameless.

"You! You! You..." Liu pointed at Li Xi's hand and kept shaking.

"What do you mean, Parkinson's?" Li Xi was extremely angry.

Madam Liu supported Liu worriedly and looked at Li Xi with disgust. "Li Daya, I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age. If I had known you were such a useless wolf, I would have strangled you to death when you were born."
