Good luck every time

Chapter 216 Want a cat?

Li Ruyi took the salt coupon and went to collect the salt.

This time when she went to hire a car, the driver returned to his previous position. He saw that Li Ruyi was a little excited.

"I guessed that you were going to the government office to collect salt today, so I'm waiting for you here!"

He actually had work to do today, but as he said, he had to wait for Li Ruyi that day.

Li Ruyi was not polite either. Although this man was implicated because of Zhao Laonian's affairs, it was also due to his own personality.

Li Ruyi helped him to build good relationships, not without asking for anything in return.

"Thank you, uncle! If you hadn't waited for me, I would have been very frustrated."

Hearing Li Ruyi's affirmation of him, he felt even happier and finally felt that he was worthy of Li Ruyi's efforts for him.

The two cars left together. When Li Ruyi saw the person collecting the insurance premium, he greeted him.

The man also nodded repeatedly at Li Ruyi.

They pulled the salt back to the village. Li Er followed the driver, and the two chatted and laughed all the way.

Although Li Ershi's own problem was not solved, he also knew that he would have to rely on Li Ruyi for at least two or three months, so he still had to say nice things to her.

The driver was so grateful to Li Ruyi that he burst into tears.

When they got home, Li Shiwu and Li Er went to move salt. Li Ruyi paid the driver and took out a pair of gloves.

This pair of gloves is relatively thin, casual, and fingerless. It was made by Old Lady Li for Han Shian to wear when practicing calligraphy.

Li Ruyi thought it was a good idea so she asked the old lady to make a few more paintings and she would see if she could sell them later.

Because it is thin, contains less cotton, and the material cost is not high, the main thing is that the workmanship is good, so it can be sold for twenty or thirty cents a pair.

Li Ruyi picked out a pair of shoes of suitable size and gave them to the driver.

The driver felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say while holding the gloves.

Li Ruyi didn't let him say anything and asked him to go back quickly.

The three of them weighed the salt at home.

There were two villages that bought salt in normal quantities last month, and Li Ruyi had to deliver the salt this month, so she separated the salt from the two villages.

Li Er looked at the two small bags and then at the large pile on the kang in the study. He felt a little worried.

"What are you going to do with all this salt?"

This house is said to be a study, but in fact it has become a warehouse. Li Ruyi will check to see if there are any rat holes at the base of the wall. If there are any, they must be blocked immediately.

She also made a lot of mousetraps, and here she is, catching another big mouse.

They can steal even the bacon hanging from the ceiling. It's really annoying. Li Ruyi is already thinking about poisoning the mice with arsenic.

She squatted behind the cupboard and carefully took out the mousetrap. She didn't hear Li Er's question clearly, so she asked back.

"what?"

Li Ershi said it again.

"There's no one to order so much salt, what are you going to do?"

Li Ruyi was much calmer than him.

"It's okay, we can sell it at the market."

Li Er was still worried as he thought about the county market.

"There are so many people selling salt in the county market, can't we only sell it for fifty cents?!"

Li Ruyi grinned and walked out.

Li Er also followed her worriedly.

"Let's not go to the county market, let's go to the market around Zhaojia Village."

Li Er was surprised for a moment.

"Where?"

"The market around Zhaojia Village!"

Such a long time has passed, and if the thug boss hasn't made the three Zhao Laonian brothers lose interest in business, it only proves that this guy is really useless.

However, based on Li Ruyi's understanding of that man, although his methods are simple, he is cruel and ruthless. The Zhao brothers have such big flaws, it should not be difficult to deal with them.

It would be a good idea for Li Ruyi to go and take over their market now.

She doesn't ask for a long time. She will only sell 400 to 500 kilograms this month to try it out. If the market is good, she will sell more next month.

The village bought four months' worth of salt, and Li Ruyi will have three months' worth of 350 kilograms of salt that he has no way to sell.

It is safe to stock up 1,000 kilograms of salt for three months.

Li Ershi subconsciously looked at Li Ruyi's neck.

Li Ruyi turned to look at him, guessed his worry, and smiled as he moved the mouse in front of him.

Li Er: ...

"Take it away! Take it away!"

The mouse was beaten to a bloody mess.

Several of the parts inside are no longer usable. Mice can smell scents, and if you keep using a mousetrap, you won’t be able to catch mice.

Since it was homemade anyway, Li Ruyi took down some unused things, replaced them with new ones, debugged them, and made sure there were no problems before putting the mousetrap back to its original place.

Seeing how troublesome she was, Li Er suddenly remembered something and said.

"Do you want to keep a cat? I see your family has good food, so you should be able to afford a few cats."

When Li Ruyi heard this, his ears perked up.

"Do you know anyone who has one?"

Li Er nodded.

"My grandma has it!"

Li Ruyi: …

“I don’t think I saw it last time I went there!”

Li Er recalled the night when Li Ruyi went to his grandfather's house.

"They stole meat and were all locked up."

Li Ruyi captured the key point.

"Them? There are quite a lot of them?"

Li Ershi nodded.

"There were seven before, but a new litter was born two months ago, two tabby cats and two raccoon cats."

"People in their village don't like black cats and don't want to keep them. My uncle couldn't bear to throw them away so he kept them. But there were too many of them and they kept making noises all the time."

Li Ruyi was surprised.

"Why don't you like black cats? Black cats are good at warding off evil spirits!"

Li Er sighed.

"Many people in their village worship the Tang Kou, and it is taboo to keep a cat, let alone a black cat."

Li Ruyi suddenly realized.

"Then I can raise him, but I'm afraid your uncle won't agree."

This person has so many cats, which shows that he is a cat lover, and it would be inappropriate for her to take away someone else's cats.

When Li Ershi talked about this, he forgot about going to the market to sell salt.

"He would definitely agree. My parents took my brother back a few days ago and said that the family was going crazy because of the cat issue. A large family lived together and people didn't have enough to eat, so they couldn't stand the cats."

"It must be that the black cat is evil, otherwise it might have been caught and eaten by someone."

Li Ruyi frowned.

"I heard cat meat is not tasty."

Li Er sighed.

"Who cares?"

Li Ruyi was indeed interested. Her family had both grain and salt, so it would be great if she could catch a few cats and raise them.

She bought arsenic to save money, but she was still worried that someone would accidentally ingest it.

"That's fine. I think we have nothing to do today, so why don't we go over there in a while!"

Li Er: ???

"So anxious?"

Li Ruyi sighed.

"I have something to do soon, so I won't be able to go out for about ten days. Today is the only day I'm free these days."

"Besides, if there's really a big commotion over there, the sooner we go there, the sooner we can solve the problem!"

Li Er was pulled into the car by Li Ruyi in a daze.

Li Ruyi locked the study door, washed her hands with scented soap, and asked her elder sister if there was anything else she could give as a gift.

When her eldest sister heard that she was going to ask someone about raising a cat, she packed up some things she could use for household use.

There weren't many snacks at home, so she asked Li Ruyi to buy some from somewhere she passed by.

At that time, it was only sold in the county.

Li Ruyi had no choice but to go to the county town first, buy some snacks, and then go to his uncle Li Er's house.

The stupid donkey has become more mature during this period. Although he is still lazy, he already knows when to be lazy and when not to be lazy.

I'm running very hard now.

In order to appease the donkey, Li Ruyi bought a lot of carrots. She was thinking that next year she would use the land her elder sister opened up to plant carrots and sweet potatoes for the donkey.

There was nothing on the cart, and the donkey ran faster than a person. If Li Ruyi met someone who was going the same way, he would give them a ride.

In this way, they went all the way to Uncle Li Er's house.

"By the way, the one who got married a while ago was the child from my uncle's family, right?"

Li Er agreed.

"Yes, my uncle has a daughter who is my cousin. My mother took me and my brother there last time, hoping to strengthen the relationship."

Li Ruyi: …

"I heard that cousins ​​this close together can affect future children."

Li Er was startled.

"Really?"

In his heart, he actually thought that his cousin was a nice person. In the past, his family was poor and had no hope, so his mother had to be very cautious when she wanted to test her uncle's attitude.

Now that there seemed to be a way out, Li Er also started to think about it.

I just didn't expect that this thought would be extinguished so quickly.
