Good luck every time

Hearing Han Shian's question, Patriarch Han spoke without any hesitation.

"Don't associate with that girl anymore! She's an orphan, she can't bring you any help, she will only hold you back."

"Shi'an, you are not young anymore. I will find a family to marry you after the New Year. You can leave the salt business to the clan, and I will help you arrange the rest."

"However much money Li Erya gives you, the clan can also give you that much."

"Besides, since you are not sure of passing the exam, I think you don't need to go to the academy. There is a private school run by a teacher in the county. The tuition is low and you can study slowly."

"You have ten acres of land in the village, you have the income from selling salt, and you can read. In the future, whether you become a teacher or find a job as an accountant, you can earn enough money to support your family."

"If you are lucky enough to pass the exam and become a scholar, that would be good. If you fail, these foundations will allow you to have a better life than others when you start a family. This is the right path you should take."

"Don't follow the example of others who hang around in the academy. You are what you are, and don't wait until you lose everything before you think about living a good life!"

Chief Han felt that what he said made sense.

Look at the children from the farmers' families around him, all of them have lost their families all due to studying so hard. If you ask me, those people are all mentally ill.

Why not live a good life when you have everything?

Like Han Shian, who has ten acres of land and earns five strings of cash a month, he lives a better life than many villagers even if he just lies at home waiting to die.

However, what he said only seemed to make sense.

Han Shian is only thirteen years old this year, and will be fourteen after the new year. At this age, let alone taking the examination for a scholar, many people fail to pass it. This directly concludes that Han Shian is not destined to be a scholar. The purpose is just to tie Han Shian to the Han family's boat tightly.

Just like this time, if Han Shian lived in Sanjia Village, he would never dare to form a group with Li Ruyi.

He had to consider that he and the villagers met each other every day, and whether there would be a conflict one day and no one would help him.

I have to consider the harvest from the fields, and whether I need help from the tribe as I can’t finish the work on the ten acres of land…

If Han Shian, who lives in Sanjia Village, wants to live a good life, he has to rely on the Han family.

However, Han Shian, who left Sanjia Village, doesn’t need that!

The Han family's various methods could not restrain him. Patriarch Han wanted to control him, and the first step was to break his wings that allowed him to fly to the outside world.

Han Shian smiled.

"It's good! But it's not for me."

After hearing this, Patriarch Han slammed the table again.

"I think you have become so stupid because you have no elders to teach you! If you want to live a good life in the future, you must know that the only one you can rely on is your clan."

Chief Han was already angry. Although Han Shian didn't say anything too extreme this time, the look of him not being willing to cooperate in his heart really disgusted Chief Han.

His eyes fell on Han Shian's arm, and the thought even came to his mind: "If his hands are destroyed, can this guy just go home and keep it to himself?"

Han Shian was locked in a dangerous aura, and the muscles on his back had become stiff.

Suddenly, he smiled faintly, raised his head and spoke to Chief Han.

"Chief, you may have some misunderstandings about me."

The evil thoughts in Patriarch Han's heart were interrupted, and he looked up at Han Shian.

"Oh?"

Han Shian sighed, and his uprightness subsided a lot, and he seemed to have turned into a harmless boy of thirteen or fourteen again.

"Do you really think that Ruyi is an insignificant orphan who can be manipulated by anyone?"

Patriarch Han felt that Han Shian was confusing the public.

"If you don't want to be manipulated by others, then so be it. If you don't cooperate with her, the clan will help you deal with the rest."

Han Shian sighed and met the eyes of Patriarch Han who was looking at him.

"Chief, how about this! I want to make a bet with you."

Chief Han snorted, but Han Shian continued to talk to himself.

"Let's bet on who will walk out of this door before the end of noon today!"

Patriarch Han couldn't control his expression. He squinted his eyes and looked at Han Shian with confusion in his eyes.

"I think you've become stupid from studying!"

Han Shian shook his head.

"If the time has not come and I voluntarily leave, then from now on, I will live the way you said, Patriarch, and dedicate the rest of my life to the Han family. I will listen to whatever you say!"

After hearing this, Patriarch Han's evil thoughts dissipated more and he became a little interested.

Han Shian continued.

"But if the time comes and you voluntarily leave, then you don't have to interfere in my affairs from now on!"

Patriarch Han sneered when he heard this, but he had other plans in mind.

"What if the time comes and neither you nor I go out?"

Han Shian looked up and pointed at the roof.

"At that time, it will all depend on God's will!"

After saying this, he seemed to sigh again.

"I have bad luck. I don't know if God will be on my side this time!"

The atmosphere at the Han family became relaxed.

But the atmosphere in Sanjia Village changed.

Li Ruyi kicked open the door of Han Laoer's house.

Except for the injured Li Er who had already returned to Li Ruyi, the remaining three of the Li brothers followed Li Ruyi into the yard.

Four men came with sticks in their hands and looked very aggressive.

There was no one in Han Laoer's courtyard, but there were quite a few people who heard the noise and followed Li Ruyi to watch the fun.

There were dogs barking in the neighboring houses, Li Ruyi said to the Li brothers.

"Smash it for me!"

Li Shiliu was a little panicked, and Li Shiwu was also a little helpless. However, Li Shiba was a big fool. When he heard what Li Ruyi said, he took a step forward and rushed to the window, shouting.

The wooden stick instantly pierced through the window paper.

Everyone in the house who heard the noise ran out.

There were more than a dozen people in his family. Except for a few young children and old men and women, all the other men and women ran out of the house.
