Good luck every time

Just when the village was in chaos, Li Ruyi sent everyone away, ate a piece of steamed bun to fill his stomach, said goodbye to Grandma Ding, and went to the river to check the fish baskets.

Of course, these are all excuses.

Her main purpose was to come and see Li Ershi.

Li Er squatted by the river absentmindedly, staring at the fish in the river, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Ruyi ran over, saw his lonely back, and squatted beside him.

Li Er was preoccupied and didn't even notice Li Ruyi's footsteps. When he saw the person, he was startled and almost fell into the river. He shook his arms for a long time before he could steady himself.

"Why are you silent?"

Li Ruyi looked at him speechlessly.

"I scared the fish away and there was no sound! What are you thinking?"

Li Er hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Ruyi, and turned back.

"I didn't think of anything! I have already done what I promised you. What do you say about the food?"

Li Ru thought that Li Er didn't want to say it, and she didn't ask, because they were not familiar with each other.

"You can go tonight and find some conspicuous places to cut the grass. You only have two days, today and tomorrow. Cut as much as you can and make the footprints messier."

Many people in the village wear straw sandals, so the problem of footprints is easy to solve. Just wear a pair of larger straw sandals and put a wooden board inside, and then you won’t be able to see the footprints.

There was no one in the village who specialized in studying footprints. Li Er had stolen food so many times without being discovered, so he knew a lot about this. As soon as Li Ruyi explained it, he understood.

He frowned and looked at Li Ruyi.

"You still want me to help you?"

Li Ruyi looked at him with an expression as if to ask if he was sick.

"Why don't you give me some food? If you don't give me any food, why should I tell you the time in such detail?"

"If you don't do as I say, then you'll be discovered! Think about it yourself, the food for two nights will be enough for your family to eat for a long time!"

Li Er opened his mouth but was unable to refute.

He knew it was another trap, but it was hard for him not to fall into it.

"How do you guarantee that we won't be discovered?"

Li Ruyi sneered.

"How can I guarantee that? I can't guarantee that! I can only say that no one will be watching for the next two days, but after these two days, things will be different!"

"If you want a guarantee, why not work with your family to figure out a solution!"

Li Er originally thought that Li Ruyi wanted to use him to provoke Patriarch Li, but when he heard this, he realized that Li Ruyi really didn't say a word of nonsense.

Not only did she want me to steal food, she also wanted me to keep an eye on Chief Li's entire family.

Li Er said angrily.

"Even if Sixth Master wants to do something to you, I won't tell you!"

Li Ruyi doesn't care!

Patriarch Li can't even handle his own affairs, so there's no way he'd be stupid enough to deal with me at this time.

What Li Ruyi wanted was internal strife in the Li family and the breaking of the pattern in which the Li patriarch had the final say.

If Patriarch Li really wanted to cause trouble for her, she would love it!

No matter how many times you calculate, it is still not as comfortable as fighting yourself.

What a pity...

After sending Li Er away, Li Ruyi caught the fish. He hadn't been here for the past two days and had a good harvest.

She happily carried the fish home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Han Shian standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, instructing the third child to practice calligraphy.

I don’t know if it was Li Ruyi’s illusion.

Han Shian seemed to have grown a lot taller.

When she entered the room, she greeted Grandma Ding first.

"Master! Let's have fish today!"

Granny Ding snorted twice, an attitude she only had when eating fish.

After saying that, she looked at Han Shian again.

"Since you're here, let's eat together!"

Han Shian smiled.

"But I scared away all your guests."

Li Ruyi didn't expect Han Shian to use it in this way.

"Then you can eat more!"

Li Ruyi put the fish into a wooden barrel in the kitchen. The water in the fish basket leaked out, but the fish were very vigorous today and did not die. They started struggling again once they entered the water.

Li Jixiang was not in the kitchen, but in the backyard chopping wood.

Li Ruyi ran over to take a look, called the man back, and the two of them killed the fish together.

Granny Ding loves the fish balls made by Li Ruyi, which are full of fish meat paste and have no bones. Li Ruyi is happy to help her make them.

While it was still day, the two men moved the wooden barrels and sat in the yard to work.

Han Shian, who was originally watching the third brother writing, moved to Li Ruyi's side after a while.

"I brought you two more books. They have more obscure characters than the previous books."

Li Ruyi nodded in agreement and looked up at him.

"You seem to have grown taller!"

Han Shian didn't like being looked down upon like this, so he turned his gaze, found a wooden board and sat down a little further away from Li Ruyi.

He took a fish that Li Jixiang had knocked unconscious and gutted, and tried to remove the gills and bones from it, just like Li Ruyi did.

He spoke as he moved.

"That must be because the food in the academy has been good these days."

In his previous life, Han Shian didn't have much money, and he was always reluctant to spend it on food and drink, and his health was not very good either.

He will never be so harsh on himself in this life!

Even without eating delicious food, you have to at least make sure you have enough to eat.

Li Ruyi lowered his head and smiled, guessing that he had made some money from selling the wolf.

However, just as she smiled, she suddenly heard Han Shian exclaim.

"ah……"

This was followed by a crackling sound.

Li Ruyi looked up and saw the gutted fish leap up from the chopping board and lash out at Han Shian's hands violently, splashing smelly blood everywhere and raising a cloud of dust when it landed on the ground.

By the time Han Shian frowned and held the fish down, his face was already covered with mud!

Li Ruyi: …

The eldest sister felt a little embarrassed. She quickly apologized to Han Shian and went to get a basin of water.

"I didn't kill the fish well..."

Li Ruyi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Go clean it up quickly! Otherwise your clothes will smell like fish."

Han Shian had no choice but to wipe his face and go home to do laundry.

When he came back from washing and hanging the clothes, the fish had been processed and Li Ruyi was using chopsticks to stir the fish paste.

Han Shian saw that this job was difficult, so he took it over himself.

Li Ruyi went to the backyard and picked two young cabbages to make the soup base.

After the water boiled, Li Ruyi came over to serve the fish paste and praised Han Shian with satisfaction.

"The arms of people practicing calligraphy are different. The strength they exert is very strong."

Han Shian was speechless.

Cabbage and fish ball soup, plus a pot of multi-grain steamed buns, is today's evening meal.

Eat before the sun sets and save some lamp oil.

The table was brought out and a few people sat outside to eat.

The scorching sun became soft and the gentle summer breeze blew over.

As a guest, Han Shian sat next to Grandma Ding, and on his other side was the third brother.

No one came over here anymore to see if they were being polite.

At this moment, all the villagers gathered near Patriarch Li's house to watch the fun.

The casino only gave a day's deadline, and there must be a rule as to whether or not to give out the three hundred taels and how to give it.

Patriarch Li hurried back and called all the people who had come over to discuss the matter together.

He didn't want to pay, so he wanted to rob someone.

However, after so many days of preparation, the Li family is no longer the Li family that he can command the support of everyone!
