Good luck every time

Li Ruyi lacks a lot of things. She is young, her gender cannot be distinguished, and she is dark-skinned, so she can easily pretend to be a little boy.

There are many children whose parents have both passed away these days, and even more children selling things on the streets.

Children in the village would carry vegetables to the city to sell, and some would learn skills from others and work as helpers, such as running errands and delivering goods.

Teenagers have their own jobs.

Li Ruyi blended in among them as a small peddler and was not conspicuous.

She can't sell big items because they are too heavy for her to carry.

I could only sell needles, thread, hair ornaments, hair ties, or scraps of cloth and the like.

Li Ruyi did not buy it directly, but went to inquire around first, and then went back to settle the accounts and arrange the money in hand properly.

After shopping around and buying some cheap little things, she returned to Sanjia Village.

As soon as he returned to the village, he was arrested.

The one who grabbed her was none other than Han Liu's wife.

Last time, the gossip was first shared by Fourth Sister Sun, so this time, she had to say everything before Fourth Sister Sun.

"Ruyi! Have you gone to ask about your brother?"

Li Ruyi showed a sad expression.

She and Li Jixiang learned to look like this. Fortunately, she has an older sister, otherwise she would not be able to pretend to look like this.

"I asked around!"

Mrs. Han Liu suddenly perked up.

"Who did you ask? What did they say?"

Li Ruyi sighed.

"I was thinking of going to check out the situation today, and then asking a village headman to go with me tomorrow to ask."

"As a result, I heard them talking about it when I got there."

"They said my brother was sold to someone else's place as a son, and I definitely can't get him back. But if I go to them, they can use this to ask me for money."

"Some people said they would just arrest me and sell me off."

"Some people also said that I wouldn't be worth much if I were sold, so it would be better to keep me hanging. They said that the longer I waited, the more expensive it would be for the merchants to travel back and forth. If you want to redeem my brother, you have to pay thirty taels of silver first, and you have to pay ten more taels for every month of delay..."

Mrs. Han Liu took a breath of cold air.

"So many? My goodness, they are so evil-minded!"

Li Ruyi lowered her head.

"It's ok that they are evil-minded, but they also said that if they kept me for two years, I would be an adult. If they had money, they would continue to cheat me, and if they didn't have money, they would sell me out."

"I was so scared that I squatted in the alley behind the casino for a long time. I came back when I heard nothing!"

After saying this, Li Ruyi covered her face and sobbed.

"Sixth Mother, I'm so useless! I never dare to go there again! I'm scared too... wuwuwu... what should I do?"

When Mrs. Han Liu heard her crying so miserably, she hugged her.

"Good boy! Don't blame you. If you want to blame someone, blame that Li Laoliu! If he hadn't sold your brother, how could there be so many problems?"

Li Ruyi was trembling all over. Mrs. Han Liu thought she was afraid and helped her smooth her back.

Only Li Ruyi herself knew that she really couldn't cry, not even a single tear.

Li Ruyi was in Han Liu's wife's arms, pinching the skin at the end of her eyebrow with both hands. The pain was so severe that tears came out a little bit.

She raised her head, wiped away the tears and sniffed.

Mrs. Han Liu looked at her red eyes and patted her shoulder again.

"It's okay! You can live just as well without a brother. It's your parents who don't have that kind of luck. It's not your fault!"

Li Ruyi's whole body stiffened for a moment after hearing this.

She had heard many people talking about her, but this was the first time she heard someone tell her that it was not her fault.

Li Ruyi lowered her head and clasped her fingers together tightly.

She bowed to Han Liu's wife, turned around and ran away.

Seeing her like this, Han Liu's wife sighed, turned around with shining eyes, and walked towards Sun Si's wife's house.

This news is very important!

Li Ruyi was a little dazed when she walked back, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses after she walked a long way.

She smiled bitterly, it turned out that she was no exception and still cared about the affirmation from others.

Li Ruyi stretched out her hand, the cuts on her fingers were bleeding, and she expelled any tenderness she had for Han Liu's wife in her heart.

She doesn't need any of this.

She also doesn't want anyone to control her feelings and emotions.

Li Ruyi closed her eyes and pinched her wound. Blood flowed out and severe pain came. She trembled all over in pain before she stopped.

All the emotion in her heart disappeared, she whispered to herself.

"Li Ruyi! You have to wake up!"

When she got home, Li Ruyi's brows were still furrowed. Seeing her come back, the third brother quickly ran to the door to open it for her and whispered to her while opening the door.

"Second sister, Fifth Grandma is here."

Hearing that Fifth Grandma was coming, Li Ruyi raised her eyebrows. She subconsciously reached out to push the door wider and walked into the house, passing Third Grandma.

A little old lady in the room was holding Li Jixiang's hand and talking to him.

The eldest sister seemed to have just cried. When she heard Li Ruyi coming back, she quickly turned around to look over.

"Ruyi, you're back!"

Li Ruyi showed a tired smile. Seeing her expression, the eldest sister asked worriedly.

"Is there no news about the pillar?"

Li Ruyi shook her head, then looked at the little old lady, forcing a smile and greeting her.

"Fifth Grandma is here!?"

Seeing her like this, the old lady agreed and continued asking questions along with Li Jixiang.

"How's it going? Any news?"

Li Ruyi sighed and repeated what he had said to Han Liu's wife.

She wasn't afraid of being exposed for what she said, because she had overheard it to begin with, so whether she said it was true or not, it was true.

And after the incident of Qiu Sanquan kidnapping someone, Li Ruyi wanted to find someone to go with her to the house to ask, but no one dared to go.

After hearing this, the eldest sister became anxious and stood up to look at Li Ruyi.

"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't go?"

This morning when Li Ruyi said she wanted to find out about Li Zhuzi's news, the eldest sister disagreed!

She had seen those people detaining members of the Li family early yesterday morning, and she was also worried that Li Ruyi might be in danger.

But what Li Ruyi told her was to ask others and find out how the casinos had handled such matters in the past and whether there was any precedent of redeeming relatives.

Only then did Li Jixiang agree.

She looked at Li Ruyi's face and tears instantly fell.

She reached out and hugged Li Ruyi.

"Let's not look for it anymore! Let's not look for it anymore from now on! Let's not look for it anymore, okay..."

Li Jixiang is not blind. She can see that she is the only one in the family who wants to find her brother.

If Li Ruyi had to take such a big risk just for her, and might even get herself into trouble, she would rather not look for her brother.

Without them, her younger brother could become someone else's son.

But if they fall into the hands of those thugs, they will have no choice but to be sold into the building!

Li Jixiang's hands were shaking as she held Li Ruyi, and she patted Li Ruyi's back in fear.

There are so many thoughts in my mind that I can’t express.

Li Ruyi felt complicated. She patted her elder sister and said with a smile.

"I'm fine now! Don't look for him! Maybe being someone else's son would make life much better than ours."

Fifth Grandma slapped her thigh.

"Oh! Who can say for sure? I think we should look for it! But Pan... Ruyi, what your elder sister said makes sense. It's not convenient for you to look for it."

"In fact, this was all done by Lao Liu, and he should be the one helping you find the problem."
