Good luck every time

Li Ruyi's battle was indeed a quick one. He finished the battle on the same day and went out to work the next day!

In order to make the sword look less strange, she tied a stick behind her back, as if she could use it to support herself when she was tired of walking.

Because Li Er was injured, he stayed at home to help Grandma Ding apply medicine.

Of course Li Shiliu also stayed. He and Li Er were now sitting side by side, forming a symmetrical figure, with each of them having one arm tied up.

The two of them often helped each other because they were at a loss.

Li Ruyi took Li Shiwu to sell salt.

The two of them first went to the villages around Zhao Laonian to sell salt, but everyone was reluctant to buy it when they heard the price was fifty-five cents per pound.

However, more salt is needed in winter, and some families cannot buy it, so they just have to accept it.

In addition to salt, Li Ruyi also sold some miscellaneous small items and made a small profit.

The next day they moved to another village.

On the third day, the market opened and Li Ruyi came driving a donkey cart!

Official salt is sold at fifty-three cents per pound. Some people think it is too expensive, but others think that as long as the salt is good, it is fine. The transportation here is not well developed. Not to mention the markets in the county town and the villages, even the things sold on the two streets in the county may have different prices.

Li Ruyi got a good deal at this price.

However, some people still refused to give up and wanted to wait for Zhao Laonian and the others to come.

These people also want to buy some cheap salt.

It's a pity that after waiting and waiting, the person didn't come. Finally, the anxious person went back to Li Ruyi and bought the expensive salt.

By the time people came back one after another, Li Ruyi's salt had been sold out.

She didn't bring much capital, and since there was no competition, she could still do this business.

Coming out of the market, Li Ruyi drove his donkey cart toward the street. As soon as he came out, he heard two middle-aged women talking.

"Why is salt so expensive today?"

"Oh, why is it so expensive? That's official salt. I haven't seen it in years. Do you think it's the salt particles mixed with stones?"

"Really? Is this salt really good? You don't know how stingy my boss is. He always gives me just the right amount of money when I go out. I'm short of these three cents, so I can only wait and see if the salt is good!"

"Oh my, if you can't even see this, you must be blind. This salt seller is pretty good, much better than the previous brothers!"

"Really! By the way, why didn't the salt seller come?"

"Yeah! Why didn't those people come?"

As the two were talking about this, an old lady wearing an indigo headscarf suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.

"Oh my! Don't you know? Those guys are the most miserable! I heard that their family's money was swindled away and they even lost their salt business!"

Hearing this, the other two old ladies looked at her in disbelief.

"Is this true or false?"

"How could it be false? It's absolutely true. My cousin's second daughter's cousin married into that village!"

"It's said that the three brothers got injured from somewhere, and the second brother was the most seriously injured. Two or three doctors were called in, but they all shook their heads and refused to answer questions."

"Later, a powerful Taoist priest came and said that the second son would not live long. If he wanted to kill him, he had to prepare a magical weapon..."

"As soon as the Taoist priest made some gestures, the second guy stood up!"

"and then?"

"and after?"

"Later, the Taoist priest stayed at Lao Er's house at night and took away all of Lao Er's things that night. Salt stickers, money..."

"But I won't lose my salt business, will I?"

"Yes! You are bragging!"

"Listen to me! Isn't this just the beginning? If something is lost, of course we have to catch the person. Now I remember that Taoist priest said where his home is."

"We just happened to chase her. When we got there, we heard that there was nothing in the room except a woman lying there, sleeping naked. The group of people were shocked at first, but then they saw that she was pretty, so some of them went into the room!"

"I heard that the woman's back was so white! I've never seen anything so white..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, old lady? What happened next?"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Before they could react, another group of people came and beat them up, saying they were robbers and that their family members were bullied. They said they would tie them up and join that woman in breaking into the pig cage.”

"Oh my, that was really scary. We all had to sign an IOU to redeem ourselves."

"The brothers signed the most, and there was no money at home, so they sold all their connections to raise money!"

"Oh! It's all out there, I won't not return it."

"You won't return it? That group of people went to his house every day to make trouble, beat up everyone in his family, and took away everything they could. When will this end?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, didn't you see it? It's already in ruins! From now on, I don't think it will be able to get back on its feet! This salt merchant can't be so cruel, or he will get his comeuppance..."

After saying this, the other two old ladies nodded in agreement.

The three of them cursed the black-hearted salt merchants together, including Li Ruyi who raised the price. The other two went home together, and the old lady was still waiting for the next person to chat with her and listen to her stories.

Li Ruyi guessed that Zhao Laonian would not end up well, so she was satisfied.

I don't know if he still has the courage to snatch her salt again. After all, he didn't beat them lightly last time. Li Ruyi has made a breakthrough in martial arts now, and she is itching to beat them up again if she has the chance.

Unfortunately, there is no chance after all!

Later, Li Ruyi heard some things about Zhao Laonian. After she waited in the market for the New Year and the first month of the lunar year, she did not see Zhao Laonian and the others again.

Although there were new salt dealers in the market, because of Li Ruyi's pricing, they were too lazy to add anything to the salt, so they just sold it at the same price.

What the three Zhao brothers failed to accomplish was completed by Li Ruyi and the people who took over their connections.

But there is still a difference. The Zhao brothers want to sell the adulterated salt at a high price, which is a bit more unscrupulous.

Li Ruyi was very busy during the first month of the lunar year. She didn't even have time to go see the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when her third brother clamored to go.

Chinese New Year is the time when everyone spends the most money. Door gods, hanging money, red paper... all sell well. Even the head flowers sold by Li Ruyi are the most popular at that time.

Some families cannot afford new clothes, but they can buy a new head flower for their children, which also brings in the joy of the New Year.

After the first month of the lunar year, the market gradually cooled down. Li Ruyi felt that business was not doing well, so he started to think about going into the mountains.
