Good luck every time

Li Ruyi looked through all the things that every household was preparing to exchange for money.

But they are all medicinal herbs, dried vegetables, leather and the like.

Li Ruyi looked at the medicinal materials carefully and gave some pointers on some improper handling. She said that when she comes next month, she might collect some things to pay for the salt, but she will not collect too much and the price will not be too high.

There was discussion and negotiation, and everyone was very satisfied.

Song Laosan tried to invite Li Ruyi to stay for dinner, but Li Ruyi refused as she had to go home before dark.

This place is not far from Sanjia Village. Li Ruyi had already arrived home when the day dawned. She calculated the time and thought that she would walk faster next time so that they could visit both villages together.

When she got home, she strung the coins together and started digging a hole in the ground again.

She had to find some places to hide the money.

Sanjia Village is not that safe. When life gets better in the future, someone will definitely come and cause trouble.

Li Ruyi was unwilling to fight an unprepared battle.

The next day and the day after, she continued to go to the mountains to sell salt.

She never went back to the villages where she had been difficult to get along with before.

However, something happened that day.

Li Ruyi carried 50 kilograms of salt to the mountain with great difficulty. As soon as he entered the village, he was driven away by several people.

"Go, go! Don't come here!"

Li Ruyi looked at the person who drove her away and found that he was the same person who had been kind to her in the beginning. She didn't feel too bad in her heart, but she just didn't understand why this happened.

"Brother, what's wrong? Didn't we agree before..."

As soon as Li Ruyi opened her mouth, a man jumped out from the crowd, pointed at her nose and started cursing.

"Get out of here, you rotten-hearted salt merchant! Get as far away as you can!"

Li Ruyi opened his mouth and took a step back.

She didn't stop, just turned and left.

Now was not the time to argue or explore. She was alone and had so much salt on her. What if she angered these people and had her salt snatched away?

She thought of selling the salt first, and then come back to inquire when she was alone.

Seeing Li Ruyi turn around and leave, the crowd started whispering about some gossip.

Li Ruyi wanted to listen, but her hearing was not as good as Granny Ding's, so she couldn't hear clearly.

When they arrived at the next village, the situation was better than before, but Li Ruyi did not dare to take it lightly. She found the person she had talked to before and walked to the door of that family with a smile.

When Zhao Laoqi saw Li Ruyi coming, he was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Li Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

"Seventh Brother, I picked up some things and came over to see what our village needs."

Zhao Laoqi looked around and waved his hand.

"We don't lack anything now!"

Li Ruyi agreed.

"Okay, tell me what you need and I'll bring it over next time I come."

After hearing this, Zhao Laoqi felt a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Don't come if you can avoid it in the future!"

Li Ruyi asked as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"What?"

Zhao Laoqi sighed and repeated what he had just said.

"If you can avoid coming here in the future, please don't come. We don't want your salt anymore!"

Li Ruyi asked him with a hint of uneasiness.

"Why?"

Zhao Laoqi waved his hand, afraid that Li Ruyi would pester him.

"Let's go! Let's go..."

Seeing him like this, Li Ruyi said.

"We're not forcing anyone to buy or sell. I don't have to come, but I just want to know why. It's just a matter of one sentence, right?"

When Zhao Laoqi heard her pestering, he became obviously impatient, and the trace of guilty feeling he had just felt disappeared without a trace.

"Stop asking and leave now. I don't care if I don't want to buy your stuff. If you keep on dawdling, I'll throw you out!"

Li Ruyi took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but finally held back.

She turned and left, continuing on to the next village.

She just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

She could guess that someone was playing tricks, but she really couldn't guess how.

Fortunately, the next village was normal. Everyone was very happy to see her and bought salt as agreed. However, the village was not big and there was some salt left over, so Li Ruyi took the salt back.

Because of all this trouble, it was already dark when she got home. Her eldest sister and the third sister were waiting for her at the entrance of the village.

Li Ruyi didn't talk about what happened today. There is no conclusion to this matter yet, so it would be pointless to talk about it.

The next day she took nothing but a little money and quietly went to the first village where he was driven out.

Li Ruyi may not make money, but she needs to know who the other party is and what means they use.

In case anything happens to affect her reputation, she has to be prepared in advance.

Rumors spread very quickly. If they spread along Li Ruyi's path, they would destroy all her hard work of the past few days.

Li Ruyi squatted at the entrance of the village for most of the day before he saw a half-grown child who was alone.

She called people over.

Seeing that it was Li Ruyi, the half-grown child obviously took a step back, and avoided Li Ruyi as if Li Ruyi was some poisonous insect or ferocious beast.

Li Ruyi grabbed a few copper coins and shook them in his hand.

"Want to make money?"

The child was deeply moved when he saw the money in Li Ruyi's hand.

Li Ruyi looked at his expression and continued.

"If you tell me why you are so afraid of me, I will give you this money!"

There was a moment of silence in the lush forest.

After a moment, the child turned and ran away.

Li Ruyi: …

She was afraid that the other party would go and call for help, so she left quickly.

Sure enough, she turned around quietly and saw everyone in the village running out.

Li Ruyi hid behind a bush and listened to those people talking.

"I think it's really a disaster star, and it's still haunting me!"

"That's right. Not only is he a calamity star, but he's also a wicked person! He sells us 53 cents a pound of salt, while the official salt only sells us 45 cents. I don't know how my parents gave birth to me."

"Oh, my parents must have suffered retribution! They were killed by the evil star!"

"I think Zhao Laonian is the most honest one."

"That's right, a half-grown kid like this came out to deceive people and almost took away my Shugun's soul. My child cried when he got back!"

"If he dares to come near our village again, I will break his legs!"

Li Ruyi's whole body shrank into the bushes, and she felt pain from the hard thorns.

However, she also took those words seriously.
