Splendid Twins

In the evening, Si Pozi lay on the bed and found various excuses to order Liu Niang around. Sometimes she wanted to drink water, but she complained that it was too hot or that it tasted tasteless. After Liu Niang finished serving her and sat down, she wanted to pee again...

Si Yao's face darkened and he put down the chopsticks in his hand. The movement attracted everyone's attention.

"Yao girl, you may not be used to this bitter vegetable porridge. There is nothing we can do about it. This is the condition of our family..."

Old man Si was holding a bowl of mixed noodle soup and drinking it while saying, "This was brought back by the third son as a gift to him and his wife. Wang made it separately and served it out, while everyone else got wild vegetable porridge."

"Since we can't afford to eat at home, let's find a job for the two brothers."

Si Yao spoke nonchalantly, picking up the chopsticks again to stir the porridge in the bowl.

"What kind of work? Does it make money?"

Wang's face showed interest and her tone was a little excited. The money these two little bastards earned was meant for her son to spend!

"Girl Yao, do you have any connections?"

Old Man Si looked at Si Yao and asked deliberately. He knew that this little girl could not bear hardship. She was too arrogant in the first few days after she arrived, and now she was throwing a tantrum because of her stuttering!

"The new outsider at the end of the village wants to find two people to go to town to help him with work. I agreed on behalf of my brothers. We will leave early tomorrow morning. It's just in time to earn some money to supplement the family income."

Si Yao glanced at her father and said expressionlessly, "He didn't say a word when Mom was tortured by that old woman..."

"Do you know how much the wages are?"

Old Man Si also became interested as he listened, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

"The more you work, the more you get. I should have five taels of silver by the end of the year..."

"What? Five taels!"

Before Si Yao could finish her words, Mrs. Si was so shocked that she jumped up from the bed. She had secretly saved up for several years and only had ten taels of silver!

Seeing her running straight to the dining table without even wearing shoes, Si Yao felt a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Is it really five taels? Did that person lie to you?"

Old Man Si was a little suspicious, and felt inexplicably uneasy...

"This tael of silver is a deposit. I originally wanted to buy some supplements for you, but then I thought that my two brothers must have some money on them. Otherwise, how can they have the energy to work hard for others? If they faint from hunger, the four taels of silver at the end of the year will be someone else's."

Si Yao took out a tael of silver and put it in her palm, passed it around in front of Mrs. Si, Old Man Si and Wang, and then put it back into her own pocket in front of them. She did it on purpose! !

"Ah? This, this is not worth even a few bucks! ..."

Mrs. Si stared at Si Yao's purse and murmured.

"If they are reliable, the wages are fair. After all, we have two young men."

When Old Man Si saw the silver, he said solemnly, "Brother Yao is going to take part in the provincial examination soon. He will have to attend social events after he passes. When the time comes, all this money will be used to build connections for him..."

"Dad, do you have anything to say?"

Si Yao asked Si Lao Er, then shook his head imperceptibly at Liu Niang. When Si Lao Er heard this, he first glanced at Si Lao Tou, and seeing that his father was drinking his meal expressionlessly, he said hesitantly:

"Yaoyao, I, your grandfather will decide..."

Si Yao was somewhat disappointed with her father. If she had kidnapped and sold his two sons with bad intentions, he wouldn't have noticed!

"I wonder where his job is arranged? I can go visit my two nephews when I am free in town."

Wang thought to herself, how come she hadn’t heard of such a good thing!

"If everyone knows about it, how can it be my brother's turn? Don't worry, that person is going to settle down in our village. Even if something happens, we don't have to worry, after all, he has been registered with the government."

Si Yao responded coldly, this aunt is quite smart!

"Get up early tomorrow and follow me. You two should work hard and bring me four taels of silver by the end of the year. If you are short of a penny, I will not forgive you two!"

Mrs. Si was obsessed with the four taels of silver. When she saw Si Qing and his brother drinking their meal slowly, she glared at them. She picked up the porridge on the table and drank it in big gulps. Si Yao and her two brothers looked at each other and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, by the way, this matter must be kept secret. No matter who asks, you can't tell it. The man said that if the villagers find out and report it to him, he will take back the silver and make him pay!"

Si Yao added thoughtfully, she was sure that Mrs. Si would agree immediately!

As expected, when Mrs. Si heard that the money was taken back, she immediately quit and put down the bowl angrily:

"Shut up, everyone. If this gets out, I'll tear her skin apart! Especially the second brother's family!"

"Mom, I won't. What if someone asks me about the two children..."

Liu Niang looked at Si Po timidly and spoke in a slow tone.

"Just say you went to help out a distant relative. Don't say anything more!"

Old Man Si put down the bowl and spoke. A trace of calculation flashed through his cloudy eyes. He glanced at Si Yao inconspicuously, his eyelids drooping slightly:

Without the help of these two brothers, he didn't believe that he couldn't control a little girl!

After the family finished their meal, they prepared to go back to their rooms, leaving Liu Niang alone to clean up the dishes. Si Yao hinted:

"My brothers are leaving tomorrow. Mom, please help them clean up the dishes and chopsticks..."

"Old man, you have to wash the pot tonight."

Mrs. Si had finished her meal and went back to bed. For the sake of four taels of silver, she rarely ordered Wang around!

Wang's face fell instantly, and she cleaned up the dishes with heavy movements. Si Yao curled the corner of her mouth and left with Liu Niang.

At dawn the next day, Wang Dahu drove a carriage to the door of Si Yao's house. Liu Niang got up early and boiled a pot of hot water to fill a pot for each of her two sons. She also packed two wild vegetable dumplings. Si Yao took them to comfort Liu Niang:

"I will personally take my brother there, don't worry."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Niang just held Si Yao's hand and nodded. She believed in her daughter!

Si Yao led Si Qing and Si Yang onto the carriage, and Wang Dahu drove the carriage out of Sijia Village quickly.

It was Si Yang’s first time riding in a horse-drawn carriage and he was very excited. He knocked here and touched there, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes when he looked at the horse pulling the carriage. How nice it would be if he had a horse of his own…

I reached out to open the window and suddenly saw a person following the carriage!

The way he walks...why does he look like Lu Yuan!

"Lu Yuan?"

When Si Yao heard this, she stretched her head and looked back, and saw Lu Yuan hurriedly chasing the carriage. She felt inexplicably that Lu Yuan was panicking!

"Stop!"

Si Yao called Wang Dahu and jumped out of the car, saying, "Wait for me."

Si Qing saw Si Yao walking towards Lu Yuan, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Lu Yuan better not go crazy on his sister...

"Lu Yuan, are you okay?"

Si Yao stood in front of Lu Yuan. Today he had his hair tied up. Although he had not shaved his beard, it had obviously been trimmed. His eyebrows were long and narrow, his face was thin and resolute, his skin was full of vicissitudes etched by the years, and his tightly closed lips showed his unhappiness!

The little fairy is going to leave?

Seeing him staring at her stubbornly, Si Yao took out some chocolates and handed them to him:

"Wait for me to come back and grill some chicken for you!"

There is meat to eat!!!

Lu Yuan curved his lips and then tried to tighten them. He reached out and grabbed the chocolate and stuffed it into his chest. He took two steps back, just two steps!

Si Yao smiled at him and turned to leave. Lu Yuan continued to stare at the carriage as it went away. When he could no longer see the carriage, he turned around and sat on the dirt beside him. He took out a chocolate, tore off the wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth...

The little fairy eats dirt? ?

The villagers coming in and out were startled by Lu Yuan sitting at the entrance of the village. Why is this madman so quiet today...
