Good luck every time

After Li Laoliu returns, he will not come to see Li Ruyi in the short term.

Not only did he have to discuss how to handle this process, he also had to find out whether what Li Ruyi said was true or false.

It will take at least three to five days to come to any conclusion.

Li Ruyi nailed the shelf up that day.

Having learned a lot from the last experience, the shelf is now more solid and stable.

Li Ruyi had resolved something in her mind, so that night she took two bags of snacks and two kilograms of salt to the headman's house.

The gifts are very practical and are the villagers’ favorites.

The sun has been shining these past two days, and the roads have become hardened after the heavy rain, so even the mountain roads probably won’t be that difficult to walk on.

She went to the village head to discuss when the villagers should go into the mountains to chop firewood.

It just so happens that the village head has also been thinking about this matter recently.

Li Ruyi wanted to go into the mountains before the boss arrived, as she didn't know how much salt the people in the village could bring back.

If those people can't bring much.

It took her ten days or half a month to deliver the more than a thousand kilograms of salt using her own donkey cart.

It would be a bit late to go into the mountains at that time.

The head of the village did not agree immediately, but said that he would discuss it tomorrow.

Li Ruyi went home contentedly.

The head of the village was very efficient. He gathered the patriarchs and elders of the three families together, and everyone immediately decided to go the next day.

Li Ruyi stayed at home for another day to deal with the hole where he had buried money.

Then he drove the car and took Li Ershi and Li Shiwu and the village laborers into the mountains.

Li Ruyi originally didn't want to bring Li Shiwu, but Li Shiwu came by himself.

His family has few resources but a lot of people.

I have chopped enough firewood to burn, but I have no way to sell it.

Another thing is that the children in their family don’t have cotton clothes, so they can’t go out in winter, even if they want to sell firewood.

Everyone was hiding in their homes, just like hibernating, with the mentality of not starving to death.

Li Shiwu still felt guilty about what happened last time, so he ran over early in the morning to help Li Ruyi harness the cart.

After working all day, the house had a lot more firewood. Li Ruyi finally felt relieved and wanted to pay Li Shiwu, but Li Shiwu said he wanted nothing and almost ran away without even having dinner.

Li Ruyi still invited the person to stay and have dinner.

She did not go through with the motions of getting the big piece of meat that she promised Li Er. Li Jixiang fried a piece of bacon from his home with the cabbage, making it greasy.

The family's half-grown children devoured the food in no time, eating up a day's worth of food for other families in just one meal.

Li Shiwu felt a little embarrassed when he left, worried that he had eaten too much.

Li Ruyi sometimes wondered if this guy and Li Er had the same parents. Why did they have such different temperaments?

In the end, she was never paid.

The next day, she drove her cart to collect firewood for another day.

However, the third day arrived as the day she had agreed with the boss.

She didn't know the situation, so she didn't let Li Er go to chop wood, and asked him to wait for news from her at home.

Li Er knew that things had their priorities, and he didn't worry about the firewood. The next day when Li Ruyi went out, he came over to help Li Jixiang put the firewood together.

When Li Ruyi arrived at the county, he saw the boss at the city gate.

The big boss was wearing a wolfskin vest, with a broad back and strong arms, and he looked very oppressive.

Seeing Li Ruyi coming, he immediately went to greet her.

Li Ruyi also trotted towards him.

"Boss! Have you been waiting for a long time?"

The boss shook his head.

"Fortunately, you came quickly. How's the salt thing going?"

Li Ruyi laughed heartily.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

After hearing this, the boss was finally delighted. He patted Li Ruyi on the shoulder and said "OK" three times.

"Brother Li, where is your salt? Many of us brothers have come here, so when we leave, we can just go to your place and carry the salt back, saving you from having to make another trip."

People in the village work all year round, and it is common for them to carry 100 to 80 kilograms of loads.

He brought twenty people this time, and each person was given fifty or sixty kilograms of salt, so they could carry all the salt back.

When Li Ruyi heard this, her eyes lit up. She didn't need to send him off!

This saved her a lot of trouble.

"My salt is still in the government office! We can take it whenever you want."

The boss was very happy as he had put his mind at ease, and pushed Li Ruyi forward.

"That's great. Come on, come on. It's rare for us brothers to come to the county town. Let's have a meal together!"

Li Ruyi did not dodge. The relationship was there, so she could still have the meal!

The boss took Li Ruyi to a large carriage inn, where they rented a large bunk bed, with twenty people squeezed into one room.

The floor of the house was filled with backpacks filled with dried meat that they had pickled themselves.

Seeing the boss bringing Li Ruyi, Tian Laoer immediately came forward to greet him.

"Hey! Li Er, you came pretty fast!"

Li Ruyi looked at the accommodation environment here and did not express any opinion.

It was not convenient for her to take people to Sanjia Village, as it would be too easy for her to be exposed.

Besides, she would have no place to put these grown men if she took them back.

Her elder sister will be fourteen during the Chinese New Year. Li Ruyi doesn't care about her reputation, but she cannot ignore Li Jixiang's reputation.

It is her own business whether she wants to live a happy life. It is impossible for her to drag Li Jixiang and ignore his wishes and force her to be like herself.

"Second Brother Tian!"

The boss left Li Ruyi here and went out to rent a stove from the shopkeeper.

You can cook your own meals here, and there are some stocked ingredients.

However, everyone in the village brought food with them.

They have been coming here for more than ten years, hundreds of times, and have their own set of procedures.

It was not the first time that Li Ruyi was surrounded by so many people, and she greeted them happily.

The window of the room was open, and the smell of animal feces and urine wafted in from outside.

Li Ruyi was a little uncomfortable with this, but she also understood that if the window was not opened, the smell of stinky feet in the room would not be much better than the smell outside.

In comparison, ventilation is better.

The boss came back after a while, took some food and asked someone to cook.

He discussed the matter of moving salt with Li Ruyi.

They brought enough sacks so that Li Ruyi could haul the salt to the inn, where they would pack it up and carry it away.

Li Ruyi thought it was feasible, but was afraid it was not safe.

The boss is not afraid of this!

"Don't worry! We have beaten all the thugs around here. No one dares to steal our things!"
