Good luck every time

The boss was held up by something, so this time it was Tian Lao Er who led the team to get the salt.

Before the people arrived, Li Ruyi had already heard the noise. She pushed the door open and stood at the door waiting. After a while, she saw a group of people coming over.

Tian Laoer saw a man standing at the door from a distance. He squinted his eyes and didn't dare to recognize him.

When I got closer, I was still in a state of self-doubt.

When he saw Li Ershi and Li Shiwu, he scratched his head even more.

Li Ruyi was very happy and waved to them from a distance.

"Second brother!"

Tian Laoer heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the voice was indeed Li Ruyi.

"Is it really you? How come you have changed so much in this new year?"

Li Ruyi has become whiter this winter, and as he has developed internal strength, his overall condition is excellent.

She is also very helpless!

When she goes out, she would smear some black ash on herself to become darker.

However, she didn't want to hide too much from the people in the village. If she wanted long-term cooperation, trust was the foundation.

Li Ruyi wanted these people to watch her slowly turn into a girl, so that they would know that she was not hiding it on purpose, but was just doing it for convenience.

Some things are hard to say and can only be left to time.

After talking about Li Ruyi, Tian Laoer turned to look at Li Er.

"You too! You've grown taller... and fatter! How did you gain so much weight!"

Li Ershi eats so much every day, it would be strange if he doesn’t grow taller or gain weight!

He is a head taller than when Li Ruyi met him last year. If he were to go out now, no one would treat him as a child!

As for Li Shiwu, he also gained weight after following Li Ruyi. However, perhaps due to his age, he grew a little, but not too much.

Li Ruyi replied with a smile.

"It's Chinese New Year! If you don't eat, you'll get fat. If you run after Chinese New Year, you'll lose weight again!"

Tian Laoer made an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

He was fat, but not as fat as Li Er! This kid was twice as wide as before.

"Brother, I brought a lot of things besides salt. See if there is anything you need."

After all, several months have passed and it is not known whether the things purchased in the county have been finished or not, so Li Ruyi brought some more here, just in case there is a need for them.

Tian Laoer didn't hesitate. After testing the salt and paying the money, he didn't rush back to the mountain. Instead, he looked through the things Li Ruyi brought.

Li Ruyi didn't make much money from bringing things to them, and in addition to the transactions, they also had a friendship.

Tian Laoer was a little surprised when he heard the price. When they bought some things in the county town, it was Li Ruyi who helped them bargain, so he knew the cost.

Li Ruyi gave him this price as a side dish.

As for the remaining things whose prices he didn't know, you get what you pay for, with no inflated prices or markups, and some were even cheaper than what they usually bought.

Tian Laoer didn't think that Li Ruyi had any ulterior motives. The two sides had been cooperating for a long time and there was still some trust between them.

He just felt that Li Ruyi was real!

When paying, he wanted to give more, but Li Ruyi said he didn't want anything. He just said that both parties had a good relationship and were sincere, and there was room for future cooperation!

When Tian Laoer left, he patted Li Ruyi's shoulder vigorously. He felt that Li Er was a genuine and honest kid who was worth making friends with!

After they carried the salt away, Li Ruyi put the knife hanging on his waist back on his back.

When Tian Laoer was around, she tied the knife and the small scale together and hung them around her waist, which looked like a pile of miscellaneous things.

However, Li Ruyi still felt uncomfortable.

After being beaten by Granny Ding for a while, she had become accustomed to the feeling of being able to draw her knife in an instant.

Not only in sword drawing, but also in walking, sitting and lying down, she has gradually become more agile, and unnecessary movements are becoming less and less.

Her body was slowly changing; her muscles and bones were becoming most suitable for fighting.

After packing up their things, the three of them drove back.

It was already dark when we got home.

Perhaps the increase in internal strength gave Li Ruyi more confidence, or maybe he was familiar with the surroundings. Anyway, walking at night seemed to be a common thing for him!

Back home, the eldest sister and A Cai sat on the kang and made shoes.

As soon as Li Ruyi entered the room and saw the two of them sitting gently under the lamp, she suddenly understood why many men like such women.

However, if this is his nature, Li Ruyi also thinks it is a good thing.

But if she is like her and the third brother, who don't like being bound by rules and etiquette, she is not willing to polish off those things that are her own.

Just like the third child, he is now curled up on Grandma Ding’s kang studying pharmacology.

She doesn't like those medicines that cure diseases and save lives. She only likes to hear which medicines are poisonous and which medicines counteract which medicines.

Grandma Ding talked to Li Ruyi and asked her what she would think if the third child took this path in the future.

What could Li Ruyi think?

The third child’s life belongs to herself, and nothing is more important than what she likes.

After knowing Li Ruyi's attitude, Granny Ding let it go, but she was more attentive when teaching the third child, for she was afraid that she would know too much about poison and go astray.

Seeing Li Ruyi and the others coming back, the eldest sister and Acai raised their heads. The wound on Acai's face had grown bright red granulations, looking somewhat hideous.

However, everyone at home is used to it and no one cares.

After the three of them had their meal, Li Ershi and Li Shiwu prepared to go home.

However, seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Li Ruyi still stopped Li Er.

"Li Ershi, the six-month period has passed. You should think carefully about the future in the next two days."

"If you don't want to follow me anymore, I'll let you go free."

"If you still want to work with me, you can also think of some conditions, monthly salary, or something else. You can ask for anything you want. However, I may not agree to it, so you'd better not ask for too much!"

Li Er's joy just jumped up to his brows, but immediately it became depressed again.

He nodded in agreement.

"I see!"

Only then did Li Ruyi let them go back.

After they left, Li Ruyi ate two bowls of rice by himself.

She has reached the stage of growing taller recently, and since she has a lot of work to do and also has to practice martial arts, she eats a lot every day.

Granny Ding told her that inner strength is the essence of the universe and human beings. Although she didn't know where it came from, martial arts masters generally eat a lot, so Li Ruyi's appetite was not outrageous.

She now only eats two more bowls of rice than an adult man, which is far from the glutton that Grandma Ding mentioned.

However, Li Ruyi recalled that Grandma Ding used to eat very little, and when she asked about this, Grandma Ding remained silent.

This obviously touched the other party's wound. Li Ruyi didn't dare to ask any more questions. Knowing that there was nothing wrong with him, he just held it in!

After eating, she asked about things at home, read a book for a while, and then went to bed.

She was sleeping soundly, but Li Er was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

He knew approximately how much money Li Ruyi earned, and the bulk of his money came from selling salt.

The second is to deal in medicinal materials, and the worst is to be a peddler and sell some goods.

According to Li Ruyi's current income, he can only earn ten strings of coins a month at best.

Li Er also knew that although Li Ruyi earned a lot, he also spent a lot.

Just feeding so many people is a considerable expense. Add to that the necessary expenses, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the cost of practicing martial arts, Li Ruyi actually doesn't have much left in a month.

Li Er turned over. He really wanted a lot. He wanted money, a future, skills, and he wanted Li Ruyi to support him.

But wanting it alone is useless, Li Ruyi also needs talent!

Li Er always felt that the matter Li Ruyi asked him to consider was not that simple. There must be something else besides money!

Regarding future plans, Li Er turned over again, and with a little force, his foot left a hole in his torn quilt.

He sighed deeply. The quilt had become shorter as he grew taller, so he was so angry that he sat up, put on his clothes, went out, and walked back and forth around the house.

After a while, the door to the main house opened, and Old Lady Li stuck her head out to block Li Er who just turned around and scolded him.

"You are sick! If you have something to say, don't say anything and just walk around the room!"

Li Er: ...

"I really admire you! Why don't you hang around the toilet when you want to figure things out? Instead, you hang around me and your grandfather's room. Do you think we old couple sleep too well?"

Li Er: ...

"Come in! If you encounter any problems in the future, just tell me, don't keep it to yourself!"

The old lady opened the door and Li Er hesitated for a moment but still walked in.

Old man Li had already sat up, a small pile of soil. He lit the oil lamp on the kang table. Li Er sat awkwardly on the edge of the kang. Although he was much taller, his aura did not become stronger.

Old man Li coughed for a while and then turned to ask him.

"what happened again?"

Obviously he knew about Li Er walking around the yard last time, but he was just too lazy to care.

He felt that he was not a wise man, otherwise he would not have lived his life like this.

He was afraid that he would not be able to give good guidance to Li Er and would instead restrict his development.

Since Li Er was already sitting here, he could only tell the matter to the two old people.

"Ruyi said he wanted to sign a contract with me and asked me what the conditions were."

Old man Li thought for a moment and asked.

"what do you think?"

Li Er sighed.

"I know how much she makes a month, and I also know that she spends a lot, but I also feel that I am very important to her. If I were to ask for half a hundred yuan or even a hundred yuan like Brother Fifteen did, it would be wrong!"

"She doesn't have that much money either, but I don't want that much money, and I don't know what I want."

Old man Li sighed.

Don’t tell me, he doesn’t know either!

He is not familiar with Li Ruyi either...

Although the two families often interact with each other, only Li Ruyi and the old couple of the Li family know how tight-lipped Li Er is. They can't get anything from Li Er, so how can they know what else Li Ruyi has?

Old Mrs. Li understood better.

After all, he was one of the people who mingled in the gossip circle in the village, and he heard more rumors from outside. For example, Li Ruyi's martial arts was something that could not be hidden!

Otherwise, how could a little girl dare to fight with so many young and strong men.

Old Mrs. Li thought about it from a long-term perspective and said.

"Or you can just not ask for anything. Ruyi is an honest person and will not treat you unfairly in terms of money. If you give her too little, it must be because she doesn't have it!"

"If you want something, why not become her master and learn something from her!"

Li Er suddenly realized that he had practiced martial arts with Granny Ding for such a long time and he knew best how Granny Ding treated Li Ruyi and the Third Brother differently from how she treated him.

If he had to learn something, Li Er felt that practicing martial arts with Grandma Ding was much better than studying with the third brother!

At least Li Shiliu, a non-staff member, is still living a life of free eating and drinking. He can neither pass the imperial examination to become an official nor bring blessings to his family.

Li Er's obsession was suddenly cleared, and he even felt sleepy!

Old Mrs. Li didn't have anything to say to him, so she started to chase the person away.
