Good luck every time

Chapter 197 Life-saving grace

"Ruyi! What are you talking about? It's just a place for a study tour in the capital city. How does it affect Han Shian's future?"

Li Laosi asked Li Ruyi questions before Li Laoliu. He was thinking that he would fail in the conversation so that Li Laoliu would have a way out.

Having been brothers for decades, the two have this tacit understanding.

Li Laoliu did not deny anything. He sat aside and looked at Li Ruyi's expression.

If it was a few months ago, he would not do this, he would just try to force people to submit.

But now he would no longer look down on Li Ruyi in the slightest.

Li Ruyi's expression was not very good, his brows were furrowed, and there was undisguised resistance in his eyes when he looked at Li Laosi.

"Fourth Master, don't tell me you don't know how Han Shian got this spot?!"

The two of them didn't say anything and just looked at each other.

Li Laosi continued.

"Ruyi, how you got this position has nothing to do with our Li family. You are already a qualified head of the family. You know better than us that Han Shian's departure from the academy will have a greater impact on you."

They wanted to pull Li Ruyi onto the chariot, but Li Ruyi refused to let them do so.

"Fourth Master, to be honest, it will be better for me if Han Shian leaves."

Li Laosi didn't quite understand what she meant.

"What do you mean? Are you going to stop selling salt?"

Speaking of the voice of the salt seller, Li Ruyi's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up, obviously he had heard some good news.

Li Laosi's heart fluttered and he looked at Li Laoliu again, but the other party did not look at him. Instead, he continued to examine the child sitting in front of him.

"Do you know that Han Shian has such a way, why doesn't he go to his clansmen, but choose to join hands with me to do business?"

Li Ruyi brought up a topic to attract the two people's attention, and Li Laosi shook his head.

"I don't know."

Li Ruyi sat up straight and smiled faintly, which was full of confidence and pride.

"Then do you know what will happen to the resources in his hands if he leaves?"

Li Laoliu's expression changed instantly.

He snorted, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't laugh, and his beard just blew.

"You're not going to say that after Han Shian leaves, he will leave his connections to you, right?"

Li Ruyi looked at Li Laoliu and showed a fleeting surprise.

"That's right! Han Shian said that after he left, he would leave the salt sales to me."

Li Laoliu found it a little unbelievable when he heard Li Ruyi agree in person.

Li Ruyi's good life now is all thanks to the salt. People in the village say that she can earn two or three strings of cash a month, and if she works as a peddler, she might have even more left over.

And this is just a little bit of what leaked out from Han Shian.

No one knows how much money Han Shian makes!

If you say you want to buy a donkey, people will believe you if you say you can make five or seven strings of cash.

In a time when others could not earn ten strings of cash in a year, they could earn this much in a month.

This business of selling salt is no different from the hen that lays golden eggs!

Han Shian was going to give such a good thing away without saying anything, who would believe it! ?

After looking at Li Ruyi for several times, Li Laoliu looked at Li Ruyi again.

Before, he only looked at the changes in Li Ruyi's body, but this time he also looked closely at Li Ruyi's face.

He was wondering if Li Ruyi had cast a curse on Han Shian.

Otherwise, what fool would do such a thing?

Li Laosi couldn't believe it either, and his doubts came out of his mouth.

"That's impossible. Did you save his life?"

Li Ruyi shifted his gaze and nodded vigorously at Li Laosi.

"Yes! I saved his life!"

Li Laosi: ...

"You saved his life? How did you save his life?"

The two old men found it extremely absurd, they had never heard of such a thing before, could it be an excuse made up just to deceive them?

"Oh, it happened four or five years ago. People in the village said Han Shian was a jinx. He was young and depressed, so he ran to the river and cried, and accidentally fell in."

"At that time, I was just thinking of catching some fish and selling them to buy medicine for my mother, and then I heard him fall into the water."

"I pulled a branch from a tree and threw it into the river, and he climbed up by holding on to the branch."

Li Ruyi's remarks were so detailed that the two old men couldn't find a way to refute them.

Accidental falls into the water are not very common in the village, but there are always several such incidents every year.

However, most people in the village can swim, and the surrounding rivers are shallow, so unless one really wants to die or is unlucky, everyone can climb out.

As for Han Shian, both of them had heard about it, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether the kid really wanted to die or was just in bad luck.

"Well... I haven't heard of this matter before..."

Li Ruyi was silent for a while.

"I was young at the time, and I saved people out of my own conscience, without thinking about asking for anything in return."

"This time he heard about my situation and knew that I was in trouble. He came up with this idea to repay you for saving his life."

"This business required a huge initial investment. He invested all his assets in it, and he still owed his classmate 30 strings of cash and has yet to pay it back."

Li Laoliu's heart moved and he suddenly realized something.

However, before he opened his mouth, Li Ruyi had already started talking.

"His classmate's family is very powerful in the county. The two of them have some connections. Not only did he use that person's connections to sell salt, but Han Shian's place in the study tour was also the result of that person's help."

"Besides that, Han Shian's teacher has also contributed a lot. If he gives up halfway, wouldn't he offend all his classmates and teacher?"

"One of these two people has some influence in the county, and the other is a role model for our local students. If he offends these two people, he won't be able to take the exam next year, let alone the year after next!"

"Tell me, if this isn't ruining someone's future, what is it?"

Li Ruyi took a detour and came back to the same topic that ruined someone's future at the beginning.

However, this time, Li Laosi and Li Laoliu were both silent.

Li Laosi looked at Li Laoliu quietly, wanting the other party to give him an expression.

The two old men were very experienced and had already heard the hidden meaning in Li Ruyi's words. They understood that the other party wanted benefits.

However, Li Laosi had no say on how much benefit to give.

Li Laoliu, who was in charge, remained silent.

After a moment, he said.

"What do you want? Or have you and Han Shian already discussed what you two want?"

Negotiations between two parties are a business.

The seller boasted about his stuff to the skies, and the buyer just wanted to ask for a price.

After hearing this, Li Ruyi seemed to lose interest in chatting instantly, frowned and shook his head.

After a moment's silence in the room, she spoke when Li Laosi was already very anxious.

"Sixth Master, you don't understand what's going on at all!"

"This spot belongs to Han Shian, but he can't give it to others. All he can do is help introduce people to his husband!"

"I will help you convince Han Shian. In exchange for saving your life, you have to give up your monthly profits."

"Han Shian helped you with the introduction. He wants to offend his classmates and teachers."

"Whether the gentleman will make the final decision or not depends on your sincerity."

Li Laosi started to wink at Li Laoliu again. This time, not only did he not know Li Laoliu's bottom line, he also didn't know whether what Li Ruyi said was true or not.

If it is fake, then it is just raising the price.

However, Li Laosi still had a very strong feeling in his heart.

He felt that what Li Ruyi said was true!
