Good luck every time

Chapter 20 No Food

After Li Ruyi said goodbye to them, she quickly went home with the backpack on her back.

When she came back, she saw Li Zhuzi was there too. She felt a little unhappy but didn't show it on her face.

The eldest sister was working in the yard, and the third sister was sitting on a small stool behind the coffin, picking beans.

No one came today and they were not busy, so they prepared to eat something else.

Seeing Li Ruyi coming back, the third brother asked her.

"Second sister, you're back! What did you dig up?"

As she spoke, she ran towards Li Ruyi, but Li Ruyi made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Li Zhuzi, who was lying on the kang and thinking about something, noticed the two people's flirting and climbed down from the kang.

He was much more violent than the third brother. When Li Ruyi picked up the basket, he pounced on him directly.

The third brother was pushed aside by him and almost sat on the ground, but he was like a blind man and could not see anything at all. He buried his head directly in the backpack, fearing that any benefits would be missed out on him.

Li Ruyi was so annoyed with him that she pulled him by the collar and tried to pull him out, but she heard him already starting to make a noise.

"I smell meat! Is it meat? Is it meat?"

He howled with a hoarse voice, which annoyed Li Ruyi so much that he slapped him in the face.

"Can you please keep your voice down! Is the meat for you? It's for mother's funeral tomorrow!"

Li Zhuzi glared, and Li Ruyi also looked at him at this time.

The two men glared at each other. Li Zhuzi still wanted to act tough, but when he thought of the experience of being almost strangled to death last night, he finally held back.

After Li Ruyi came back, she did what she was supposed to do. She prepared dinner in the evening and took out a few pieces of meat, sharing a little with everyone.

She was also unhappy. If Li Zhuzi was not at home today, she would have taken her sisters to eat everything.

As a result, not only was Li Zhuzi at home, but he also wanted to make trouble for her, so no one could eat.

Li Ruyi is now in a very bad temper. He would rather lose eight hundred of his own men than injure one thousand of the enemy.

After eating, she emptied the bowl and hid the remaining meat.

When she went out with the dry food, she also reminded her elder sister.

"You are not allowed to give the meat to Li Zhuzi!"

The eldest sister felt helpless and wanted to persuade Li Ruyi, but Li Ruyi didn't listen at all.

Similarly, her elder sister wouldn't listen to her, and gave the meat away when Li Zhuzi made a fuss.

When they arrived at the blind old lady's place, Li Ruyi gave her some steamed bread and returned the bowl. The duck meat had been eaten up and there was no need for her to reheat it.

The blind old lady was still the same, lying there leisurely.

The two didn't say much, but when Li Ruyi left, she still spoke.

"I don't have any brothers and sisters like you mentioned, but if you encounter any troubles, you can hide here and I can protect you."

Li Ruyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

She looked back in the direction of the blind old lady and asked in confusion.

"Master, do you know something?"

The blind old lady didn't speak again after she said that, and even the movement of waving the palm-leaf fan became gentler.

Li Ruyi knew her temper and understood that the other party was unwilling to speak again. He looked at her doubtfully for a few times and then left the courtyard. When he left, he helped the old lady hang up the fence gate.

The night passed.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the three sisters of the Li family all got up.

Today is the day of Sun's burial, and relatives and neighbors will come to help.

Li Ruyi tidied herself up, combed her hair into a bun, and covered herself with a white cloth. She also cut the remaining white cloth at home into strips. Several children in the family tied white cloth belts around their waists and tied white cloth strips on their arms.

The first to arrive were the people next door. Li Ruyi greeted them, gave them water, and distributed strips of white cloth.

Only one cousin came from the Sun family, and he obviously looked down on the Li siblings.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Li Zhuzi’s brain. He can’t tell good from bad, but he still tries to get close to others, as if he has a lot of face.

Li Ruyi was too lazy to pay attention to him. Sun was the child raised by the Sun family who was most like the other party. Her personality showed the Sun family's habits of dealing with people and things.

Because they had no money, they kept everything simple. They only hired one suona maker, and used the copper coins that people around them had given them two days ago.

Li Zhuzi smashed the basin and held up the banner, then followed the others to the Li family's ancestral tomb.

The three daughters accompanied the man for a while, but before they reached the destination, the clan leader told them not to go up the mountain.

It is said that there is a saying these days that unmarried women are unlucky and cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb.

The eldest sister felt sad and wanted to fight for it, but Li Ruyi turned around and left.

The clan leader is trying to intimidate them on behalf of Li Zhuzi!

Not surprisingly, this is just the beginning.

On the one hand, they instigated Li Zhuzi to sell them, and on the other hand, they suppressed them and did not let them live a good life, forcing the three little girls to follow the path set by the clan leader's family.

But he was obviously thinking too well.

Li Ruyi doesn't care about these. He will get back at Li Zhuzi for the loss he suffered here today.

The clan leader wanted to take advantage of them.

Li Ruyi also wants to separate from Li Zhuzi as soon as possible!

After returning home, there is still a meal to prepare at home. After all, they came to help, and I can't just not treat them at all.

Li Ruyi had planned carefully, and she used the remaining duck meat to stew a pot of cabbage.

While she was busy, the third aunt came over and helped her with the work efficiently.

I stewed a pot of eggplants from the vegetable garden and cooked whatever cucumbers and lentils I had. It took a lot of effort to put together four dishes.

There is plenty of mixed grain rice, and after one meal, I don’t know where the next one will come from.

The eldest sister was very sad and worried while she was busy.

The third sister was fine. After Sun was buried, the strange smell in the house disappeared, and she was quite happy.

Cooking is not an easy job, especially when cooking for three half-grown children.

Washing vegetables and making fire made them exhausted.

It was almost noon when we finished cooking.

Li Ruyi went to the two households opposite to borrow tables and bowls and chopsticks, and came back to set up two tables.

As soon as it was set up, the people who went up the mountain came back.

It was very troublesome to find a location, dig a burial pit and erect a tombstone, and those who came back were all sweating.

As soon as we entered the door, we started eating happily.

The third brother watched them eat and swallowed.

Fortunately, Li Ruyi left enough food, and the three of them ate in the kitchen with the third aunt.

After eating, I had to wash up and return the food to the owner. By the time I was done, it was already the 4th hour.

The eldest sister put on a straw hat and went to weed the field. Li Ruyi did not move. She looked at Li Zhuzi who was exhausted, and wondered at what time the other party would take action.

The dinner was pretty good and cleaned up the leftovers from lunch.

Li Ruyi also quietly gave the blind old lady a bowl of dry rice and a bowl of vegetables.

After returning, she called several people in the family together.

Four people sat in a circle around a tattered table.

Li Zhuzi was so tired that he felt sleepy while sitting there.

"We are out of food. We can only survive tomorrow, but we have to find a way before the day after tomorrow, otherwise we will starve to death."

As soon as Li Ruyi opened his mouth, he announced such explosive news, which instantly made Li Zhuzi very excited.
