Good luck every time

It's another day of glueing.

Just when Li Ruyi was beating the fish maw glue, a horn sounded from the yard not far away.

She stretched her head to look, and saw a group of people carrying wood with several ropes tied to the wood and huge rocks hanging from the ropes.

The weeds in the yard had been pulled out, and the gravel had been picked up and thrown away.

Li Ruyi said she wanted a flat yard to raise sheep in the front yard and practice martial arts in the back yard.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard her talk about practicing martial arts.

Only Li Ershi touched his arm and felt a phantom pain in a trance.

The huge rocks fell down with a loud bang, and the originally bumpy dirt yard was gradually flattened.

By the evening, the yard was completely flat and even the dilapidated houses had been demolished and cleared out.

On the third day, Li Ruyi continued to apply glue.

Those people first went to the riverside to stand up the adobe bricks, arranged them into circles, and continued to dry them.

Then they returned to the yard, and the trained bricklayer began to draw the lines.

After calculating the position, nailing the pillars, pulling the lines, and tamping the soil along the lines to lay the foundation.

Amidst a burst of lively sound.

Li Ruyi's fish bladder glue finally took shape.

She took out the fish bladder glue, put it in a filter cloth to squeeze out the water, put the water on the fire to boil, and after it was boiled, put it on a plate to dry.

When she looked at the thin layer of fish bladder gel at night, she almost cried.

Li Ruyi had just finished dinner in the evening and was sitting on the kang, shaking his neck.

The third child quickly stood behind her and clenched his fists.

"Second sister, let me knock for you!"

Li Ruyi stretched her neck to let her use her strength. The third sister's fists were much stronger than before. It seemed that the meals she had eaten these days were not in vain.

Li Ruyi praised her with a smile.

"Oh my! The third brother's fist is so powerful, he will definitely be a hero in the future!"

The third brother laughed, revealing his little gap tooth.

"Second sister will be a hero in the future! Then we will protect Master and eldest sister together."

Before Li Ruyi could say anything, her elder sister's voice came from the door.

"You guys! Just protect yourselves! Especially you! You even said you wanted to be a peddler!"

After saying this, the elder sister became a little worried.

"You said that I didn't think much of it when I heard you say you wanted to be a peddler before, but these past few days I've been getting more and more worried. You're young and you don't know martial arts yet. What will you do if you run into bad guys?"

Li Ruyi comforted her.

"I won't go far, and I won't sell anything valuable. I just sell some needles and thread. If anyone likes them, leave the box to me and I'll give them all to him!"

The eldest sister seems to be the one who worries a lot, always thinking about something in her mind.

"That's not safe either! What if someone has bad intentions and wants to arrest you?"

"If you ask me, we are living well now. I will go outside the village in a couple of days to see if there is any suitable wasteland. Let's not go there this year and just open up the wasteland! Even if the harvest next year is not good, we will not starve to death at least!"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi suddenly remembered something and told Li Jixiang.

"Sister, women have to pay five taels of silver a year to redeem themselves from labor service! It may not be enough for us to reclaim the wasteland!"

The eldest sister was stunned when she heard this.

"Five taels of silver to redeem the labor service? We still have to pay five taels of silver to redeem the labor service next year?"

Li Ruyi then realized that her elder sister seemed to have never thought about this matter.

Just as she thought, after hearing this, Li Jixiang sat down on the ground.

OMG!

The most money she had ever seen in her life was the ten taels that Li Laoliu gave them when Sun was seriously ill.

Those ten taels of silver were exchanged for an acre of land!

I have to pay half of it this year...

Li Ruyi looked at her elder sister and rolled her eyes in shock.

"Ah, ah, ah... Big sister! Big sister, calm down! Calm down!"

Li Jixiang wanted to cry again.

OMG!

Five taels!

Five taels a year!

She held Li Ruyi's hand and murmured.

"Or, I'll find a live-in son-in-law! Then we can register the household registration under his name..."

Li Ruyi felt that her idea was really not a good idea.

"Sister, you are stupid! How can a live-in son-in-law be as reliable as us?"

"You have no land and no property, so who would be willing to marry a good man to someone else? If a bad man comes, won't Qing just wait for someone to sell us out again?"

Li Jixiang calmed down a lot after listening to Li Ruyi's words.

"Yes, yes, yes! A live-in son-in-law is not acceptable. How about...how about I find a man to marry. I'll give you the dowry when the time comes. You and the third brother can live a stable life for two years. In the future, it will be easy for you to get married or take in a son-in-law..."

Li Ruyi: …

She thought to herself, is there no other way for you to go except men?

"Not really! We are hardworking and capable, so it won't be a problem for us to support ourselves in the future! There is still more than a year left! Why are you thinking about these things now? We can talk about it when the time comes!"

The eldest sister breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

But he didn't completely relax.

Li Ruyi pulled her up and brushed the dirt off her body.

"Sister, it's better to rely on others than on yourself!"

The eldest sister frowned and looked at her, as if trying to see something from her face.

"I know that, but I'm worried...how are we going to get through this in the future?"

The eldest sister's mouth pursed and she was about to cry again.

Li Ruyi: …

She quickly went to pat her eldest sister on the back.

"It's okay, it's okay. I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a female household, so I have to take responsibility. Don't worry."

The eldest sister shook her head and cried.

"No, no, this idea came up with you and I. You asked me at the beginning, but I agreed without knowing any of this. It's my fault... wuwuwu..."

Li Ruyi sighed deeply, looked up at the third brother, and the third brother also looked at her.

Neither of them had any idea.

The narrow room was very dark. A summer breeze blew outside, bringing with it the smell of fresh earth.

The eldest sister's crying and Li Ruyi's voice of comfort mixed together, making Granny Ding in the thatched pavilion turn over, and a slight noise was heard.

A sharp light flashed in the night, and with a thud, a steel needle pierced into the pillar of the pavilion.

Granny Ding sat up and pulled out the steel needle, on which a dead mosquito was still attached.

She touched the mosquito's body, rubbed it against the pillar, retracted the steel needle, and lay back down.

The night is deep, another day has passed!
