Good luck every time

Li Laoliu calmed himself down and suppressed the worry and joy in his heart.

After he calmed down, he said this.

"Thirty taels, this is my bottom line! I'll give you the silver!"

Thirty taels of silver are different from thirty strings of cash.

This is not much different from what Li Ruyi was thinking.

The big part is bribing the gentleman, and what she and Han Shian can get is not much.

Of course, if they both promised that the gentleman would accept Li Xi or Li Bing, that would be another matter.

However, they would not guarantee anything. Han Shian would have to stay in his academy for two or three years. If people knew that he privately bought and sold study abroad places, he would no longer be able to live as a human being!

Both parties know very well that the lobbying has a high chance of success, but there is also a possibility of failure. It mainly depends not on Li Ruyi and Han Shian, but on the "sincerity" of the Li family.

Li Ruyi hesitated for a moment.

"Thirty taels is fine, but you have to give Han Shian seventy taels."

Li Laoliu looked at Li Ruyi and chuckled.

He felt that Li Ruyi had sold out the favor of saving her life, and thought that Han Shian would continue to cooperate with her just because of these twenty taels?

Li Laoliu thought from his perspective that if a woman sold his chance to take the exam for a scholar, he would definitely turn his back on her and never have any contact with her again. He would also make up some ambiguous words to make it difficult for her to gain a foothold in the future.

"Or I'll give you these twenty taels!"

Li Laoliu tried to sow discord, thinking that he could also cause conflict between Li Ruyi and Han Shian.

Li Ruyi shook his head.

"No need. My life-saving favor is worth the salt and thirty taels for these months. It's already worth it. The rest is compensation for Han Shian."

"Sixth Master, you also understand that we will definitely do our best to handle this matter. I still have to live in Sanjia Village. Han Shian is a gentleman. He will definitely not regret it if I threaten him with saving his life."

"But if the things you send to the gentleman are too bad, both of you will be lost."

"Don't even mention whether your family will have the quota. Even Han Shian's quota won't be secure. You two are in the same boat on this matter."

Li Ruyi deliberately exaggerates the consequences, saying that the more benefits Han Shian's husband gets, the better it will be for Han Shian.

The Li Laoliu people were experienced and understood Li Ruyi's thoughts clearly.

"Ruyi, I think it would be better for you to live under your Third Uncle's name. Even if I give you this money, if you have a hard time in the future, you can tell Sixth Master..."

Li Ruyi: …

"Okay! If that happens, I'll also eat a bite of Sixth Master's food!"

Li Laoliu smiled, stood up and said.

"So when do you think you're going to tell that kid from the Han family about this?"

Li Ruyi calculated that Han Shian would be back in the next two days.

"Just these two days! If he doesn't come back, I'll go talk to him."

Li Laoliu was satisfied and didn't want to stay here anymore. The two sides were tired of each other and there was no conflict of interest. He would never come here even if he died. Now that he had finished talking, it was almost time to leave.

Li Ruzhi saw this and stood up as well.

"Won't you sit down for a while?"

Li Daxing held Li Laoliu's arm, and Li Laoliu waved his hand.

"No, just sit down!"

Both of them were polite. Li Ruyi also stood up and respectfully escorted the person to the gate.

She turned around and went back into the room, seeing Li Erzheng looking at her with strange eyes.

Li Ershi had just made up his mind to follow Li Ruyi a few days ago, but now it's only been a few days! Li Ruyi is actually going to have a falling out with Han Shian...

Worker Li Er fell into deep anxiety.

He felt a sense of precariousness.

Li Ruyi glanced at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's weird!"

Li Ershi was a little discouraged. His heart was already bubbling, his mouth tasted bitter, and a surge of anger suddenly rose up.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Li Ruyi didn't ask any more questions.

The eldest sister turned to ask Li Ruyi with some concern.

"Do you really want to use the favor of saving your life to blackmail Brother Han into selling his place in the exam for the scholar?"

Li Ruyi reached out to pick up the herbs that were about to fall to the ground and smiled helplessly.

"What are you thinking! I was fooling them!"

After hearing this, the eldest sister did not calm down, but became even more worried.

"But you've already agreed! If you take the money and don't do the job, that wouldn't be... that..."

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"Don't worry! Han Shian also knows about this matter, so you don't have to worry so much."

After saying this, her eyes swept over Li Er inconspicuously.

"The salt business will not be affected. Others only think that I am taking advantage of Han Shian's cooperation with me, but Han Shian has his connections, and I have mine. Our cooperation is cooperation. Without me, he can't find anyone more suitable than me."

Li Er breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, but then he thought, why should he breathe a sigh of relief?

If Li Ruyi is eliminated, wouldn't I, who has the most connections with Li Ruyi, be able to take his place? ?

However, Li Erzhuan calmed down in an instant.

It is precisely because he knows Li Ruyi's sales channels that he understands the difference between Li Ruyi and him better than anyone else.

For example, this time he sold more than a thousand kilograms of salt to the village. If it were him, he would find it hard to imagine how he would maintain the business after losing a regular customer who sold 350 kilograms of salt every month.

He knew that Li Ruyi gave Han Shian a lot of money every month, and the payment was made on a monthly basis.

In this situation, if you don't have enough money in a certain month, you may fall into the dilemma of not being able to come up with money.

Moreover, Li Er looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him.

Li Ruyi is familiar with medicinal herbs and knows their prices. She also has a master at home who is familiar with medicinal herbs. She earns money from both ends to barely support the huge expenses. She calculates every penny carefully, and when she is busy, she has several pages of accounts a day.

But Li Er doesn’t even know the characters now…

Thinking of this, he felt a dull pain at the back of his head. It was as if Mrs. Li's slap had traveled through time and landed on the back of his head.

He felt that he must have been very sleepy that night to say that there was nothing to learn.

When the eldest sister heard Li Ruyi say this, she lowered her head in silence.

Her face was covered by a veil, so Li Ruyi couldn't see her expression.

"Sister, I think something is wrong with you. Did they say something to you just now?"

Li Jixiang shook his head.

"without!"

Li Ruyi: …

Some girls are advised too much and are always afraid to express their true selves. They dare not say they want something or they dare not say they want something. They are always bound by the eyes of others.

The eldest sister clearly heard what was said, but when Li Ruyi asked her, a lot of thoughts popped up in her mind.

I felt that Ruyi was already very tired and that it was my fault. I wondered why I was so incompetent and why I couldn’t give my sister a more comfortable life. I also felt that I couldn’t tell her. If she knew, would she think that I didn’t like working and that’s why I did this…

All these thoughts had nowhere to vent, and finally turned into silence with my head down. Then I realized that as long as I endured these things, my life would not change much.

Li Ruyi didn't know what the problem was, so she just comforted her casually.

"You don't have to listen to what they say. We have the final say over our own lives!"

The eldest sister looked up at her and had many things to ask her, but in the end they all ended up in one sentence.

"I see!"

Li Ruyi: What do you understand?
