Good luck every time
Chapter 254: More Beggars
The head of the village went back and thought about the matter, then asked Li Ruyi to come and inquire about buying the cow.
Li Ruyi had always been taken care of by the village head, and if the head had not been tough back then, she might have been taken away by those people in the casino.
That's how human relationships work. With more interactions, the relationship becomes more solid.
She helped to run some deals and soon came up with a price that satisfied both parties.
The village head came back to raise money.
This time it is not based on number of people, but on clans. Each of the three families will contribute a part, and how the specific amount falls on each individual is the clan leader's business.
The head of the village got the money and went with Li Ruyi to buy the cow back.
He also had to go to the county government office with that family to transfer the ownership of the property.
Every working ox is recorded and does not affect normal transactions.
After the transfer of ownership, the head of the village put a red silk tether on the cow and sent it to the county government office.
The clerk had a headache seeing this, but Li Ruyi followed along and secretly stuffed some money into the account, and the matter was over!
In the end, Niu was left in the county government office, and no one knows what happened to him.
The head of the village looked at the skinny old cow and felt sorry for it.
Many people cannot understand the feelings that farmers have towards their oxen.
Li Ruyi knew what was bothering him and patted him on the back to comfort him.
"Uncle, live cattle are valuable. Maybe they are taken for a walk during the sacrifice, and then sold after the sacrifice is over!"
Both of them knew that this was impossible!
With the county magistrate's physique, he would not let the cow go.
But there is nothing I can do. My arms are powerless against my thighs, and I have to endure the pain in my heart.
Soon, the sacrificial ceremony began.
The county was bustling for three days.
Ever since Li Ruyi brought the third child into the city and discovered her fear, whenever there was any major event in the county, she would take her family to see it.
Acai doesn't want to go out, and Granny Ding doesn't like noisy scenes.
There were always two of them left at home.
The eldest sister has reached the age, she is already fifteen years old, and recently the threshold of the Li family’s house has been almost broken down by the people who have come to propose marriage.
Li Ruyi asked her elder sister what she thought, and she said she still wanted to wait for another two years.
Li Jixiang no longer has trouble finding a husband. Even when she is 19 or 20 years old, she can still find someone who is 17 or 18 years old.
Li Ruyi just didn't want her to marry in the village.
These are the people, these are the days.
She was also worried that her elder sister's life would be turbulent after she left Sanjia Village.
Li Ruyi didn't know how to help her, so she could only let her gain as much experience as possible within her limited ability.
The more experience you have, the wiser you become.
In addition, old lady Li from next door often comes to give advice recently, and Li Jixiang doesn't want to think about what he was like a few years ago.
Li Ruyi always feels that things will get better slowly!
After the sacrifice, everyone felt relieved, but the situation did not change much.
After a period of stability, food prices began to rise slowly again.
In the end, she will definitely grow into the appearance in Li Ruyi's memory.
After returning from the county, Li Ruyi asked Li Shiwu to stay at home.
It’s not that she thinks Li Shiwu is too stupid, it’s that Li Shiliu is too useful!
The three people should do business as usual, and collect medicinal herbs as usual.
Because the price of grain has increased, the price of medicinal materials has also increased a little.
Li Ruyi took advantage of the high prices and sold everything at home, which made Grandma Ding so angry that she stomped her feet. It seemed as if time had gone back to more than a year ago, when Li Ruyi first started doing business.
She is very busy here.
The atmosphere in the county became increasingly solemn.
If there is a place with the most people buying food, it must be the county town!
Many families in the county do not have any land and rely entirely on salaries and monthly allowances to support their families.
Now that food prices are skyrocketing, these people are having a really hard time. They can’t even eat a bite of wild vegetables!
All of a sudden, the number of beggars in the county town doubled, and some people were running around the county town.
In previous years, I would only see five or seven beggars throughout the year, but now I can see several in a day.
Helplessly, the village head had to start organizing people to patrol again.
These beggars are not all old, weak, sick or disabled, there are also many young and strong people with hands and feet.
If you cause trouble in the village and offend some young girl or wife, someone will die!
The patrolmen began to drive the beggars into the village.
When beggars couldn't get food, some of them would steal food from the fields.
But this was unavoidable, and the villagers could only build shacks in the fields and drive away the people coming from the surrounding areas.
It's not just Sanjia Village.
The surrounding villages are all the same.
When Li Ruyi was not at home, Li Shiwu became the person who represented her family.
Whenever he met beggars who came into the village from all directions, he would stop them in front of the gate.
However, the Li family's side is easy to deal with, but Han Shian's yard is a bit troublesome.
The dogs barked all day long, and Li Shiwu always had to go back and forth between the two yards to see what was going on there.
Later, when Han Shian had someone deliver the salt stamp back, Li Ruyi asked him if he could arrange for two people to live there and show him the house.
Han Shian sent a letter back the next day, asking Li Ruyi to find four people, two to watch here and the other two to watch at his home.
If you go to his house to watch, you must look for the Han family.
This is easy to handle.
Li Ruyi found Han Shiyu's home and asked his uncle to bring his cousin to live there.
At this time, you don’t even need to pay, just say that meals are provided and the young and strong people in Sanjia Village will come and pick them.
They lived in the side room, which was quite comfortable for them.
At the end of the village, Li Ruyi found two people to live next door.
They also stayed in the guest room, and Han Shian's room was locked by Li Ruyi.
Old man Li specifically told the children at home not to look around.
With the temptation of a full meal, the two boys were very obedient.
What they yearn for in their hearts at this moment is Li Shiliu.
I always feel that I can start from just eating and drinking for free and work my way up to earning half a dollar a month!
The Li family has finally stabilized.
But outside the Li family, things were becoming increasingly chaotic.
I heard that there are more and more cases of murder and arson in the county.
There are always some people who can't live anymore and want to do something at the end of their lives!
Disasters are like a force that pushes the evil hidden behind the calm into a vicious cycle.
