Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again
Chapter 20: Cow and Horse
Liu Rusi said she would leave tomorrow not entirely to stab Chu Shiyu, after all, the family has many things.
The capital is thousands of miles away, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back for a long time if I go there.
Huang Caiyun had come out when they were arguing about whether to repay the favor. Now she understood the situation. While helping Liu Rusi put the chicken cages on the cow's back one by one, she asked anxiously, "Sister Si, will you take me away?"
"Should I ask, do you want to go with me?" Liu Rusi looked at her with a smile.
"I do! Of course I do!" Huang Caiyun immediately became happy. She had just lived a few days of carefree life. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she was left alone. Would her father marry her to some old man again?
Liu Rusi tied up the chicken coops and said with some melancholy, "I don't know what the future will be like. It may not be good to follow me."
"It will definitely be a good thing. Brother Qin's kindness to Sister Si is evident to all. How could he let Sister Si live a hard life?" Huang Caiyun was not worried at all.
"You already know that he is Prince Duan, so why do you still think he is Qin Lie?" Liu Rusi found it difficult to understand. In the past, when she put on his clothes, there was some similarity between them, but today, it can be said that they are completely different.
Huang Caiyun was also a little confused. She knew it, but she still felt that it was Brother Qin. She said uncertainly, "Is it possible that Prince Duan is the reincarnation of Brother Qin?"
Liu Rusi stared at her speechlessly. "They are almost the same age, so reincarnation doesn't involve going back in time, right? And Prince Duan doesn't seem to know me from before."
In fact, she already suspected that his previous amnesia was fake. He was probably afraid of the danger of exposing his identity at the beginning, and he is still covering it up now, probably because he is afraid of embarrassment if he is exposed.
"In short... I think he will treat Sister Si as well as Brother Qin does." Huang Caiyun was very sure that it was exactly the same feeling as when facing Sister Si.
Liu Rusi was silent. She was not blind. In fact, she was more sensitive to emotions than most people. She had sensed that Chu Shiyu was attracted to her as early as when his name was Qin Yi.
She just lived under the same roof and had to take care of his injuries. She could only watch the love in his eyes grow deeper and deeper, and she couldn't stop others from liking her.
So as soon as he recovered from his injury, she drove him away without mercy.
She had thought that the feelings that had only lasted for a dozen days would fade after a period of separation. But she had not expected that when he came back today, the affection in his eyes was even stronger than when they had separated, and even became like obsession.
What should she do...
She knew very well that she could not give a response. It had nothing to do with any external identity, status or wealth. It was simply because the person in her heart was someone she could never let go of.
She was not willing to try to let go, as not many people in this world remembered him...
Liu Rusi and Huang Caiyun each led a cow, with four cages on the cow and two cages on the half-grown calves, and they were pulling them out.
Chu Shiyu was at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw this, he stepped forward to take the lead rope, but Liu Rusi shook her hand and stopped him.
"I told you to come pick me up tomorrow. I can't run away." There was no emotion in Liu Rusi's words, just a calm statement.
But Chu Shiyu still felt uncomfortable, knowing that she was rejecting him and forcing him to take her away, but what else could he do? If he didn't take her away, how could he wait for the opportunity to open the iron cage? Was he going to give up on this life like this...
If there is an afterlife, she is afraid that there will be no chance for him either, so she and Qin Lie will continue their past relationship.
"Are you moving things? I can come with you..." Chu Shiyu didn't want to argue with her anymore, but he couldn't go back with peace of mind, so he decided to come and pick her up tomorrow.
He had driven Sun Zhizhao and the guards out of the village first. Some of them camped outside the village, while others were asked to go back and prepare. They would set off from Dongshan Village tomorrow and would not have to return to Jinyan City.
"There's a cow to carry it, no need to move." Liu Rusi waved her hand gently to tell him not to block it, and then took Caiyun with her and led the cow to her uncle's house.
Chu Shiyu knew that this was not the time to be shy, so he quickly followed and said, "How much more stuff do you need to move? There are horses outside, so you can walk less."
"No need, there are two big cows at home, and the rest is just one trip."
"Let the horses carry the next load; horses walk faster." Chu Shiyu knew that he was looking for trouble, but he really wanted to do something for her to offset the guilt of going against her wishes.
"There is no difference between cows and horses. I use their strength. I am just walking." Liu Rusi turned her eyes to look at him and said calmly, "I plan to give the cows, chickens and ducks to my uncle, so I use the cows to carry the cages. He also knows this business."
Chu Shiyu nodded, and then hesitantly suggested: "How about leaving a horse for my uncle? The ox cart is too slow, and it takes too long to go back and forth to the city."
Liu Rusi thought for a moment and shook her head, "Although cows are much slower, they are stronger and can plow the land during farming season. During harvest time, the village often asks my uncle to help sell grain, and sometimes they have to pull a lot of food at a time. In addition, cows walk more steadily, so it is not difficult to carry eggs into the city on weekdays."
Liu Rusi said to Chu Shiyu in a gloomy tone: "Sometimes whether it is good or not depends on whether it is suitable. It's not that the horse is not good enough, but that a handsome horse attracts people's attention, and it probably needs more care to raise it, so it is not suitable for farmers."
How could Chu Shiyu not hear the hidden meaning in her words! She was referring to him as a horse! He was slightly annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry. He just used the horse to continue talking: "There is no law in Daxia that prohibits farmers from raising horses. Good things will attract people's attention. You can't just give up good things because you are afraid of attracting people's attention, right?"
"Besides... maybe raising horses would be more delicate, but it would definitely be okay to raise them like cattle. Maybe horses would even like it better."
Liu Rusi turned away and did not respond to this, but just shouted towards the door that was already in front of her: "Uncle, are you home? Come out and get something."
However, before the uncle came out, a middle-aged man with scars all over his face walked out of the dilapidated old house behind him.
"Xiao Cui...what are you going to give to your uncle?" The scumbag father looked up and down at the two cows and the chicken coops on them.
Chu Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never met Liu Rusi's father before. When Liu Rusi invited people who came to help to have a meal, her father came to find him - naturally he thought he was Qin Lie. He had a fever that day and didn't go out, so he didn't see him.
Huang Yazi mentioned that day that if her father was in trouble, Qin Lie would occasionally help him. He did not comment on Qin Lie's actions, but he would never be as friendly as Qin Lie! If Liu Rusi had really been sold out, I don't know what her situation would be today!
Liu Rusi pushed open her father's hand that was about to look through the chicken coop, and smiled at her aunt who had just walked out, "Aunt, come and move these in. Where's my uncle? Let him move them together?"
"Your uncle has gone to work in the fields...Xiao Cui, why are you moving all these here? There's no room for them at home?" Zhao Chunfang was not in a hurry to move them, but looked at Liu Rusi strangely.
Then Zhao Chunfang saw Chu Shiyu next to him and was immediately surprised: "Qin Lie is back! So soon?"
The situation was complicated at the time, and Chu Shiyu didn't dare to act on his own, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Liu Rusi pursed her lips. She was about to leave with Chu Shiyu. Correcting his identity at this time might make her uncle and aunt worried...but she also didn't want anyone to replace Qin Lie.
"He is Qin Yi. He came back this time to take Haohao to school outside. I was worried about Haohao, so I planned to go with him."
Chu Shiyu couldn't help but look at her with a smile, knowing that she was planning to go with the flow. Although it was just a performance for others, he was happy to be able to act.
Zhao Chunfang had an expression of "I see, that's what it is" and immediately realized that Qin Lie was reluctant to leave his wife and children, so he turned back to pick them up and go together.
"Xiao Cui, wait a moment. I'll call your uncle back and we'll talk about it later!" Zhao Chunfang was walking out, and as if accidentally, she bumped into the scumbag father in front of her, causing him to stagger.
"Puchi" Liu Rusi couldn't help but laughed, but hurriedly held it back. However, the corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than AK for a moment, so she had to raise her hand to cover her mouth to cover it up.
He had never seen her smile like this before... Chu Shiyu's heartbeat suddenly became much faster, a little too fast, and he unconsciously raised his hand to cover his heart.
Caiyun, who had pretended to be deaf and dumb early on, was now smiling funny, one of them covered her mouth and laughed brightly, the other covered her chest and had her eyes wide open. She had never seen such a scene between Brother Qin and Sister Si - at least she didn't see it.
However, the blind man broke the atmosphere, and the scumbag father came forward again, with a frivolous smile on his ferocious face and said: "Xiao Cui, are you and Qin Lie going to go out of town? Are you going to leave these things behind?"
Chu Shiyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Liu Rusi also put away her smile and said in a calm voice: "He is Qin Yi."
Chu Shiyu's eyes put too much pressure on the scumbag father. He couldn't help but let his hair stand on end. He immediately felt that this was indeed not Qin Lie. Although Qin Lie had a scar on his face and looked ferocious, he actually had a very gentle personality.
The scumbag father avoided the scary look, nodded repeatedly to Liu Rusi and said: "Qin Yi, remember, it's Qin Yi."
After a moment of silence, the scumbag father couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Are you going to give all these chickens and ducks to Ronggui?"
Liu Rusi glanced at him calmly and said casually, "Not only the chickens and ducks, but also the cows. All are given."
The scumbag dad immediately lost his composure and said urgently: "Give me some too, there are so many things!"
"Give it to you? The gambling house has enough money, no need for me to add to it." Liu Rusi showed her contempt without any concealment.
The scumbag dad stamped his feet and said anxiously: "I haven't gambled for eight years!"
"Eight years..." Liu Rusi was absent-minded for a moment, then looked at her scumbag father with disgust.
"I, Liu Cui, have never been treated well by you in the thirteen years I have lived in your house! When my mother was alive, she provided shelter and food, but you were addicted to gambling and caused her to die of illness! I've told you that what you lack is not money, but virtue!"
"Now let me add one more thing. You thought that what you owed before was just gambling debts, and that it would be over once you paid them off. In fact, you also owe debts to your father and daughter, husband and wife, brothers, and parents! If you count carefully, you owe countless debts, and it will be difficult to repay them in this lifetime!"
"You don't gamble anymore, which is a good thing, and I hope you'll continue to do so. But this doesn't mean that your debt to us can be written off!"
"You just stopped gambling, but have you ever thought about making up for the people you owed? Let's not talk about me, just talk about your uncle. He often helps you a lot. You live so close to his family, have you ever done anything for him?"
Liu Rusi still feels sad for the little girl Liu Cui who hanged herself in despair, but after finishing this long speech, she didn't see any touch in her scumbag father's eyes. She knows that some people are heartless, but she would occasionally want to give it a try.
She sighed helplessly and then said calmly, "I remember you had five acres of land, but you only planted one acre. Farming won't make you rich, but it can support yourself, and it's okay to work hard and make a little money."
The scumbag dad was stunned by the words. He didn't listen and didn't know how to reply. Then he woke up and said, "My feet are weak and I can't farm so much! Farming alone is too hard. I haven't tasted meat all year round!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rusi smiled contemptuously, raised her head, and put her hands in front of her scumbag father.
She said, “Then you are not as good as me.”
No one knows whether the scumbag father was touched, but Chu Shiyu was deeply shocked by her.
Chu Shiyu then realized that she was proud. She was proud that she could support herself and her children with her own hands, and she had no complaints about her rough hands.
I really want to hold her hand... Chu Shiyu resisted the urge to do so.
