After saying this, the smile on Wang Shi's face instantly disappeared. She looked at Jiujiu with a cold glint in her eyes and sneered, "Your family has been here for more than three days. During these days, you have spent a lot of money. Although your uncle and mother were siblings, your mother has passed away. Your uncle is not wealthy, so how could he have so much spare money to support the three of you? Xiang 'er, if you agree, we will be in-laws and everything can be discussed. If you don't …"
"What will happen?"
"Then don't blame me and your uncle for driving the three of you out."
Wang Shi's expression instantly changed from amiable to abominable. Back then, Lianxiang was frightened by Wang Shi's sudden change and her words of being driven out, so she immediately agreed to Wang Shi's request.
However, the person who would be frightened by Wang Shi's threat was Lianxiang, not Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was eager to leave now, and Wang Shi's words gave her a reason. Jiujiu naturally had to accept it.
After hearing Wang Shi's words, Jiujiu's expression did not change. She looked at Wang Shi and said, "In that case, I hope Auntie Wang can give me, my father, and my brother some time to pack up."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.
Wang Shi thought that even if Jiujiu did not agree directly, she would at least think about it. However, she never thought that Jiujiu would directly say that she wanted to leave. Wang Shi looked at Jiujiu's back and clenched her fists. She cursed in her heart, but did not move.
Firstly, when her husband said it yesterday, although Li Shuan did not agree immediately, he was already moved. Secondly, she knew very well that Li Shuan was poor and did not have a single cent of money on him. If he left directly, Li Shuan might be able to find a job to make a living, but Jiujiu and Lianshi could only go hungry.
Because of these two reasons, Wang Shi thought that Jiujiu would come back even if she left, so she watched Jiujiu leave.
Jiujiu sneered at Wang Shi's confidence and went directly to the courtyard where the family lived.
However, because of the sudden disaster, the waist of this man who was supposed to be in the prime of his life instantly bent and his face was covered with wrinkles. Li Shuan was only 32 years old this year, but he looked like he was 52 years old.
Seeing Jiujiu return, Li Shuan subconsciously rubbed his wounded hands and looked at Jiujiu and called out, "Xiang 'er, you're back."
Compared to Li Shuan, Lianshi was more relaxed. when she saw Jiujiu, Lianshi was like a happy deer... Jiujiu, she hugged Jiu's arm and sweetly, called, "Sister, you're back.... sister,"
Jiujiu liked obedient and sensible children.
Jiujiu reached out and rubbed Lianshi's head. She turned to look at Li Shuan and said, "Father, we shouldn't stay here for long. We should go."
Yesterday, when Wang Gui said that he wanted to marry Lianxiang to someone, Li Shuan knew that the three of them could not stay for long.
However, he did not have money and had fallen ill because of the journey. Although he was not bedridden, it was impossible for him to find a job immediately.
Jiujiu was already 16 years old and had reached the age where she had to work. Naturally, she could not show her face in public. As for the other man in the family, Lianshi was only eight years old. No one would want such a young child even if he was sent to be a manservant, let alone earn money to support the family.
Therefore, even though Li Shuan knew that they should not stay here for long, he also knew that if they did not stay, they would not last for more than a few days.
When he heard Jiujiu say that they should not stay here for long, Lianshi subconsciously tilted his head and looked at Jiujiu in confusion, "Sister?"
Jiujiu patted Lianshi's little head, "Shi 'er, go pack up your things in the room. I have something to discuss with father."
After escaping from his hometown, Lianshi was no longer as naive and innocent as before. When he heard Jiujiu ask him to leave, he knew that it was not convenient for Jiujiu to tell him what she wanted to say. He nodded and turned to leave.
Jiujiu helped Li Shuan into the room and said, "Father, did uncle look for you to talk about my marriage?"
Li Shuan was stunned. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "Your Wang Shi looked for you to talk about marriage?"
Jiujiu nodded, "Aunt said that if I didn't agree, she would chase the three of us out."
Jiujiu looked at Li Shuan and analyzed, "If the man that aunt mentioned was really as outstanding as she said, I'm afraid that he would have been trampled over by icemen long ago. Now, aunt is threatening me with chasing the three of us out and forcing me to marry that man. I'm afraid that not only is that man not as outstanding as she said, but he is also extremely unbearable."
When Wang Gui talked to Li Shuan about it, Li Shuan only felt that his words were a little strange but did not think too much about it. Now that he heard Jiujiu's words, his face instantly turned pale.
Li Shuan's heart was filled with anger and guilt.
He was angry that Wang Gui wanted to talk about such an unbearable man for Jiujiu. He was also guilty that he was even a little moved.
However, after hearing Jiujiu's words, Li Shuan knew that the three of them had to leave.
However, it was fine to say that they had to leave. However, his body was in such a condition and the three of them did not have any money. Where else could they go if they left this place?
At the thought of this, Li Shuan's eyebrows instantly swelled into a small hill. He was extremely worried.
Seeing Li Shuan's expression, Jiujiu knew what Li Shuan was worried about.
Jiujiu looked around. After making sure that no one was looking at them, she took out a small golden bean from her pocket.
Jiujiu handed the golden bean to Li Shuan and said in a low voice, "Father, do you think this is gold?"
When he heard Jiujiu ask him if it was gold, Li Shuan was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he took the golden bean from Jiujiu and put it in his mouth. His eyes instantly widened. He looked up at Jiujiu and said, "Xiang 'er, where did you get this thing?"
"I picked it up on the way here." Jiujiu took the golden bean from Li Shuan's hand and put it away. She lowered her voice and said, "At that time, I just thought that this thing was beautiful and did not think that it was gold. However, when I saw Madam Wang's golden hairpin a few days ago, I felt more and more that this was a golden bean. I wanted to ask Aunt to take a look at it today, but who knew that Aunt would suddenly act as a matchmaker …"
At this point, Jiujiu's voice could not help but lower, but Li Shuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If Jiujiu did not show this golden bean to Madam Wang, based on her behavior today, she would definitely hide this golden bean.
However, fortunately, Madam Wang dared to speak first and dared to leave with their family. Otherwise, they would have lost everything.
Because this golden bean was also because of what Jiujiu encountered, Li Shuan looked at Jiujiu and could not help but soften his expression. He said, "Good child, you have been wronged."
