Good luck every time

Li Ruyi closed the wooden box and looked at the woman who was about to throw a tantrum.

She was also looking at Li Ruyi out of the corner of her eye.

This was a contest of great disparity in strength. Li Ruyi was now eleven years old and alone.

Her opponent was an adult, and the people from the surrounding villages were all in the same group.

Once she succeeds, the people behind her will definitely use the same method to cheat.

Li Ruyi looked at her with a sullen face, as if thinking about something.

While she was thinking, the people around her also fell silent, with only people outside talking.

After a moment, Li Ruyi spoke!

"Sister-in-law, I may be young, but I'm not someone you can easily bully! I've seen a lot of people like you!"

"Isn't it just that you want to extort money by relying on your thick skin?"

Li Ruyi chuckled, but then his tone became colder.

"But don't you think about what you can get with this penny!?"

Her words were powerful, and every word she spoke carried unquestionable force.

"You can make me tell you about this in every village I go through from now on."

"You can get that when someone wants to inquire about your daughter or son, the first thing they think of is the past when their mother extorted money."

"You get pointed at and criticized when you visit relatives and friends during the holidays."

"Of course, I have to say that I am willing to give you this penny! If I am not willing, what can you do?"

By the end of the conversation, the surroundings had become completely quiet.

"If you think it's worth it, just lie there and don't get up! I'm honest in my business, but that doesn't mean anyone can bully me!"

As she spoke, Li Ruyi dropped the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and with a bang, it stabbed into the wooden stool where things were placed.

In an instant, a crack appeared on the wooden block.

The loud bang scared everyone around and they all stepped back a little.

Li Ruyi waved his hand to pull out the dagger, and made a flower on his hand. The dagger that was shining just now disappeared in an instant.

Everyone around her widened their eyes. It was obvious that this last trick was more effective than anything she had said before.

"Who else wants to withdraw? Once you withdraw, I will leave!"

The people around were hesitant, and two more people came to return the goods. Li Ruyi returned the items without saying a word.

Seeing that no one was coming, she closed the wooden box, packed up her things, and left the small village with a sullen face, carrying a shoulder pole.

Li Ruyi walked a long way out of the village, and only shook three times in fear after he made sure that no one was following him.

Ah ah ah ah ah……

She is not as powerful as she thinks, but bluffing is still bluff, and it is enough as long as she can scare those people!

She will never come to this broken village again!

It was not until Li Ruyi ran away that the woman who extorted money realized that she had not even returned the hairpin!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He spat in the direction where Li Ruyi was walking. He felt that the hair ornament that had seemed so beautiful at the beginning now seemed so unsightly.

The person who brought Li Ruyi here now had a sullen look on his face. He hurried back to the village without even saying a few words to his relatives.

Li Ruyi walked along the route that someone had pointed out to her yesterday.

Sometimes!

Acquaintances may not be reliable.

Li Ruyi inquired and felt along the way.

She took out the notebook she had sewn and drew a map on the first page, writing down the routes she had traveled and marking the marks she had made.

The second page records which village she visited, its approximate population, how much salt was used each month, and where it was used.

Li Ruyi is a relatively perceptive person. She realized that perhaps the amount of salt everyone uses cannot be completely fixed.

Everyone here is talking about pickling vegetables in autumn, so it must be a very important time node.

Another problem is that mountain roads are difficult to travel on, and if you go into the mountains after it snows in winter, the risk is even higher.

There is no chance this year. It is best to stock up on salt this winter and sell it next autumn.

But when it comes to hoarding salt...

Li Ruyi has no money!

During the three months of winter, not counting her income, she still had to spend nearly 150 strings of cash in capital.

Li Ruyi added and subtracted numbers, calculating all the time.

Because of the small land area and small villages in the mountains, Li Ruyi had to carry dozens of kilograms of cargo along the way.

The numbers were too vague, and Li Ruyi couldn't guarantee whether he could sell all the salt or supply salt to all the people he promised to sell.

Everything is full of unknowns.

All the unknowns are because she has no money.

The number sounds large, but she is just a passing god of wealth.

Li Ruyi continued walking in the mountains under tremendous pressure.

She has now accumulated more than 700 kilograms of salt, but there are still about 300 kilograms missing.

Li Ruyi once again rushed out of the village early in the morning and walked towards a village according to the instructions.

I heard that this village is very big, with more than a hundred households living in it. Li Ruyi went there mainly to discuss salt matters this time.

She's almost sold out of the stuff in her box.

Apart from a bunch of hair flowers and her expensive prickly heat powder, the rest were various medicine bags given by her fellow villagers.

Most of them are used to drive away snakes, insects and poisonous ants.

Li Ruyi has been bitten by mosquitoes a lot these days. She is very upset but can only rely on her body to endure it.

This time the village was a little far away. Li Ruyi left home early in the morning and it took him about three hours to arrive.

However, because the road she took was difficult to travel, if one walked up from the bottom of the mountain, it was said that it would only take an hour and a half to get there.

But that's going another way.

Before Li Ruyi arrived at the village, the first thing he saw was fields.

She followed the path towards the village.

It was soon discovered.

"Hey! Whose child are you?"

When they heard this man speak, all the people working around stood up.

Li Ruyi is quite generous.

"I am a peddler from the mountain. This is my first time walking here. I heard there was a village so I came to take a look."

When they heard that he was a peddler, everyone had different expressions.

"A peddler? What do you have?"

A middle-aged man jumped out from the edge of the field and came to Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"I have sold almost all the things I brought this time. I came here mainly to get acquainted with the route. I also want to ask some questions."

When they heard that they wanted to get information, these people became very alert.

"What do you want to know?"

Li Ruyi smiled and tried to look as harmless as possible.

"Ask about what our village needs, so I can bring it back next time I come."

When they heard that he was going to ask about this, everyone felt relieved. It was the middle-aged man next to Li Ruyi who spoke up.

"How about this! I'll take you to meet our boss!"

Li Ruyi: …

The boss?

When she heard such a name, she subconsciously worried that she had entered a den of bandits!

However, the middle-aged man did not give Li Ruyi a chance to speak. He pulled her arm and led her into the village.

Leading and talking at the same time.

"You are too skinny, kid. Where is your husband? Why did he let you go out at such a young age?"

Li Ruyi regained his composure and did not explain too much.

"Life is hard at home, and I don't have any skills, so I came out to make a living!"

Hearing that she calmed down so quickly, the man became much more enthusiastic and started chatting with her.
