Xinshi’s eyes widened in surprise: “This… this works?”

“As long as it’s caused by a chill that disrupts the menses, it should work.”

Liu Zhi’er nodded seriously: “Anyway, pepper powder is just a seasoning, so even if you eat it incorrectly, it won’t harm you. Just try it and see if it works, right?”

“You’re right. There’s no harm in trying, so I don’t have to worry.”

Xinshi thought for a moment and couldn’t help but exclaim: “When I was young, my mother sold me to Yihong Courtyard, a place that devoured people without leaving any bones. I was forced to take one bowl of contraceptive soup after another. I never cared about my body, and no one ever told me about these things.”

“You just mentioned that you were…”

Liu Zhi’er’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Did I say I was sold to Yihong Courtyard and that I was forced to take a lot of contraceptive soups before?”

Xinshi spoke frankly without any intention of hiding anything: “I was even pregnant a while ago, but I miscarried because of my poor health. Now, after recuperating for a while, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to conceive again.”

Liu Zhi’er opened her mouth wide and stared at the lively Xinshi in front of her, unable to react for a moment.

Although Liu Sisi was at the stove with Guihua, preparing the beast meat, she also strained her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation. Seeing Liu Zhi’er’s shock, she felt relieved.

Just yesterday, she asked Xinshi for help to talk to Second Sister, and now Xinshi was already speaking about it. She’s really efficient in getting things done!

It was completely different from her delicate and fragile appearance.

Liu Zhi’er stayed dumbfounded for a while before finally finding her tongue.

“You… have reformed?”

“Yes! When Ah-Bao married me, the whole Upper Village knew about it. Fortunately, with his persistence, my body that had been slept with countless men could finally escape from that place. It was my luck, indeed.”

Liu Zhi’er’s eyes shone with various rays of light: “He… doesn’t mind your past experiences?”

“He doesn’t mind at all. He knows everything about my past,” said Xinshi confidently. “Besides, even if he does mind, it doesn’t matter how I live my life, I can always divorce and earn my own living. It’s not like I can’t live without a man. Think about it, I’ve been living without a man for more than a decade, right?”

“It’s true, living without a man is still living…”

Liu Zhi’er silently added firewood to the stove and fell silent.

Xinshi noticed Liu Sisi’s gaze, and seeing her nod, she got up.

“You guys go ahead, I’ll go and see what Ah-Bao is doing.”

Liu Sisi quickly shouted: “Sister-in-law, be careful as you go, the ground is slippery. You really helped me a lot today, so stay and have dinner with Third Sister-in-law tonight. Remember!”

Xinshi looked back and smiled: “Third Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I promised, and I’ll keep my word.” Then she left the kitchen.

Xinshi is really incredible! Liu Sisi thought.

The workers on the roof were fast in their movements, making a lot of noise as they cooperated to finish the work. Not until dusk did they finally complete it.

Liu Sisi let out a sigh of relief! Finally, it was done before nightfall.

One night of great hospitality between host and guest, no need to go into detail.

Early the next day, before dawn, Liu Sisi got up and prepared cooked dishes, waking everyone up to eat. After breakfast, Di Yelei sorted out his clothes: “Oh, are you going out today?”

“Yes! Didn’t I mention yesterday? Today I’m going to talk to that surnamed Dong properly.” Liu Sisi’s words carried a coldness.

How dare he bully Second Sister; she had to see what kind of powerful being this Dong was!

Going to the Dong family together were Di Yelei, Zhang Peng, Li Wu, and even Di Cheng and Ms. Xin, who were also called by Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi held Liu Zhi’er’s hand, repeatedly reminding anxiously, “Today we’re all going to the Dong family, with the goal of persuading him to agree to a divorce. If he tries to use the child to threaten you, you must not waver. Understand?”

Today, Liu Zhi’er didn’t talk and would just silently nod without saying a word.

Liu Sisi sighed, unsure of how to communicate with Liu Zhi’er.

It could be said that although the three Liu sisters were all beautiful, their appearances had not given them any advantages in life.

Eldest sister, Liu Xuer, married into a family with no children as a concubine, and within half a year, she fled back to the Liu family after being beaten half-dead. In the end, their father, Liu Quan, sent her back after saying many good words to the lady, and from then on, there was no news from her.

This broke Liu mother, Ms. Yao’s heart, and it was the main reason why she objected when the original Liu Sisi wanted to marry Businessman Zhang.

Second Sister, Liu Zhi’er, married Dong Chang and had three sons in four years, but ended up being forced into surrogacy for others by her husband.

As for the original owner of Liu Sisi’s body… it’s better not to mention it!

Recalling these past events, Liu Sisi sighed at the tragic fate of the three sisters. Perhaps it was true that beauties were destined for short lives.

Although the Di family was poor, at least when Liu Sisi married in, there were several adobe houses.

As for the Dong family in front of her, it could be described as poor to the bone.

Three short, dark, collapsing thatched huts were lined up in a row, and in the heavy snow, the roof’s straw was black and mouldy, obviously not replaced this year.

The front and back of the house were messy, and now, at noontime, there was no sound from the house.

“Is anyone home? Is anyone there? If there’s someone home, say something!”

Di Yelei called out several times outside, but there was no response.

Liu Zhi’er next to him was too embarrassed to lift her head and mumbled after a long time, “Normally, at this time… he, he should be at Pokefaced Wang’s house in East Village playing poker…”

Her voice grew softer and softer, barely louder than a mosquito’s buzz in the end.

Di Yelei looked back at Liu Sisi, and they saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

“Second Sister, you’re not telling me that he used to gamble like this all the time while you took care of the house alone?” Liu Sisi became angry.

“No, no, no, that’s not it. When he… actually, when he wins some money, he’s very gentle and easy to talk to…”

Liu Zhi’er struggled to make her last argument. Rather than trying to convince them, it was more like she wanted to convince herself.
