Liu Shixi already felt extremely wronged, but she didn't show it for the sake of her wedding.
If no one asked, it would be fine, but once the question came, tears started streaming down her face.
It turned out that the wedding candy order had been cancelled.
It's not easy to buy these things in their town; things like high-quality wedding candy have to be pre-ordered.
Otherwise, she would have to go to the county to buy it. She originally wanted to go to the county, but her mother said it would be more convenient in the town.
And that's how the current situation came about.
"Big sister, don't cry. There's still plenty of time. We can get ready."
"Why don't you come with us to the county to take a look?"
Originally, Liu Shile only intended to wander around the town because it was market day.
But now that she heard that her older sister didn't have any decent wedding candy, she naturally couldn't stay in town any longer.
Although the bus had already left, they could still walk to the county town.
Thinking about walking to the county town, my older sister's physique might not be able to handle it. She's about to get married, so she can't afford to tire herself out or get hurt.
So Liu Shile quickly said, "Let's not go. There are no cars to the county right now, we'll have to walk. Big sister, just wait for our good news at home."
Feeling the love and care from her younger siblings, Liu Shixi's eyes never stopped darting around.
Liu Shile couldn't bear to see people cry, and upon seeing this, she was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
In the end, it was only after the eldest brother intervened that the eldest sister stopped crying.
After watching her older brother and younger siblings walk away, Liu Shixi turned around and went back into the house.
Looking at her ordinary home, Liu Shixi sniffed.
She didn't know why her mother did this, but she wouldn't abandon her younger brother.
Even if she gets married, even if she still has to put up with her mother's attitude when she comes back, she still has to come back.
Who knows what Mom might do to my younger brother if I don't come back and keep an eye on things?
Fortunately, Mom wasn't so heartless as to strangle the child to death, otherwise my little brother would probably be gone by now.
Liu Shixi was busy planning what she would do in the future, so she didn't have much time to be sad.
In the end, Wang Guangying did not go to the county town with Liu Shile.
The main reason is that she walks slowly and doesn't want to slow others down.
It took the three Liu siblings more than two hours to get to the county.
At that time, all kinds of candy were in high demand. Although candy coupons were not required, good candy was still scarce.
Liu Shixi was not satisfied with the wedding candy from the supply and marketing cooperative. During the peak wedding season in Chinese New Year, all the good candy was sold out.
Liu Shile was somewhat annoyed. If she had known it would turn out this way, she would have prepared the wedding candies openly and honestly long ago.
Now she was in a bit of a bind. The sugar produced by her farm's processing workshop was very good, and the varieties could be changed according to her ideas.
If it were only her second brother, it wouldn't be a problem for her to take it out, but the problem is that her eldest brother is also at home now!
"Big brother, what do we do now?" This headache-inducing question was best left to the eldest brother; he would surely have a solution.
Liu Shiguo: I haven't been back for so long, how am I supposed to know what to do?
My younger sister is getting married tomorrow. Time is so tight, even if we go to the neighboring county, I'm afraid we won't make it in time.
Moreover, there may not even be any buses going to the neighboring county now.
Furthermore, Linxian County is a disaster area this year, so even if we could get there, we probably wouldn't be able to buy anything good.
So he shrugged and said helplessly, "Then we'll have to make do. These are just a token amount, it's fine."
Liu Shile rolled her eyes. Marriage is the most important day in a woman's life. How can you compromise on it?
If there are no other options, then you can only make do, but that's not the problem.
"Second brother, why don't you and eldest brother go and look around somewhere else? I'm going to check out West Street."
Before leaving, she had made a promise to her older sister. Once a promise is made, it's like water spilled; it can't be taken back. Naturally, she had to keep her word.
Liu Shihua instantly understood what his sister wanted to do, so he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, big brother, let's go see what else we can add for big sister."
Actually, the dowry and everything else have been prepared, and all the necessary items have been purchased. Now it's time to go out for a stroll.
Families with good financial means, who dote on their daughters, will often give them some of their own money.
Neither Liu Shile nor Liu Shihua are stingy people, and they have money on hand, so they prepared some.
With her elder brother back, he must have made some preparations, so Liu Shixi's wedding this time should actually be quite grand.
If it weren't for these seemingly insignificant little things...
Liu Shiguo had been to the county town before and had heard about the situation in West Street. He was about to say something when he saw his sister leave before he could speak.
His younger brother grabbed him, preventing him from following.
He wanted to ask his younger brother if he was really comfortable letting his little sister, a young girl, go to West Street alone.
But considering that his younger sister was a girl who could take down even a wild boar on her own, he didn't say anything.
He should be happy that his second sister is thinking of his eldest sister.
Actually, after these past few days, and considering what he knew about her when they first met, Liu Shiguo was a little worried.
But now that I see her busy taking care of her younger sister, I feel a little relieved.
Although she was somewhat aloof, she was not indifferent to those who showed her kindness.
That's good; it proves she's a warm and genuine girl.
So he let his sister do whatever she wanted. If he could, why would he want to wrong her?
As for Liu Shile, after leaving, she found a secluded spot and slipped into the farm.
After quickly changing her clothes, she completely transformed into someone else's appearance.
Then she took a lot of the best candies and went to the back alley of West Street.
The transactions here are risky, but Liu Shile isn't afraid at all.
Because she looks like a familiar face here, and a very popular and influential person at that.
There's only one reason she's become such a valuable person here: she always manages to get her hands on good stuff.
Although some people tried to take advantage of her, they all ended up in a terrible state.
So the people here became very well-behaved afterward. There was no way around it; they not only disciplined the people, but also the people behind the scenes.
Are people with such methods people to be trifled with?
Obviously not, so when Liu Shile came back in this form, people treated her very politely.
She arrived at a courtyard gate with practiced ease and knocked on the door several times, three times lightly and three times heavily.
Immediately afterwards, the door creaked open from the inside.
Upon seeing her, the person who opened the door was immediately impressed and quickly invited her inside.
Liu Shile didn't stand on ceremony and carried her things into the house without saying a word.
"Brother, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much! Come, come, have a cup of tea and rest."
Qin Shiyi smiled and prepared to pour her some tea.
Liu Shile was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time here.
Therefore, he shook his head and said, "No need, I have some things here, take a look."
As he spoke, he handed over the large sack he was holding.
She carried it with ease, and if Qin Shiyi hadn't learned her lesson before, she would have readily accepted it too.
But now, he didn't dare, and waited until everyone had put the bag away before opening it.
Then I saw all sorts of candies neatly arranged in bags.
Brown sugar, white sugar, wedding candy, and regular candy all have packaging that looks more upscale than what's commonly found on the market.
