Good luck every time

Li Ruyi now has to bring some food with him when he goes into the mountains. People in the mountains have few fields, and much of the food is exchanged with people living down the mountain. Now the people living down the mountain have no surplus food to exchange with them, so some people may not be able to hold on.

She couldn't help much, just the villages that bought salt from her.

Because of her help, and the good conditions that Li Ruyi had offered for purchasing medicinal materials, the situation in these villages is relatively good.

After a busy day, Li Ruyi and his party came out of the mountains carrying huge cloth bags.

They were already familiar with this route and had not encountered any accidents.

When she returned home, her elder sister had already prepared dinner. After the meal, Li Ruyi took the family to read books and practice calligraphy.

Granny Ding asked her while she was packing herbs.

"Do you still have money in your hand?"

Li Ruyi's heart trembled.

She still has some money, but it can't support such a huge expenditure!

"A bit..."

Hearing her hesitation, Granny Ding nodded.

"Well, I was thinking that if the money is not enough, I will stop taking my medicine. It doesn't matter whether I take the medicine or not!"

Li Ruyi was relieved when she heard that no one was in urgent need of medicine. Although Granny Ding needed nearly a whole yuan a month for medicine, she could definitely afford it.

"Oh, about this matter! Master, you don't have to worry. You still have to take the medicine. Big sister and Ah Cai have weak tempers, so you have to stay at home! If you are good at martial arts, I will have confidence in you!"

Granny Ding knew that Li Ruyi said this to reassure her. Li Shiwu was there every day, so he didn't really need her to be there.

She sighed and whispered softly.

"Don't be a burden to yourself."

Li Ruyi's hearing is no longer what it used to be. When she heard what Grandma Ding said, she paused her chopsticks.

"Master, you will never be a burden to me. As long as I think of you and all of you at home, my heart is full of energy!"

Granny Ding curled her lips helplessly, but she felt very warmed in her heart.

It's not easy to be the head of a family.

Others only see that there are people busy with all the big and small things at home, but they never know what Li Ruyi is responsible for.

Perhaps only Granny Ding, who has seen the fickleness of the world, could understand what Li Ruyi is going through.

As they were talking, someone knocked on the gate.

Li Ruyi looked out the window and saw that Li Shiwu had already stood up to open the door.

After a while, a burst of crying and Li Shiwu's complaints were heard.

"We need to eat and drink, too. We don't know when the food will come down. Who knows how we are going to survive in the future?"

The sobbing became quieter.

Li Ruyi put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went out.

Seeing her, the old lady outside the door seemed to have grabbed her last straw and pushed Li Shiwu, trying to push him away and break in.

However, Li Shiwu’s training for such a long time was not in vain. He stood there steadily without moving.

He looked back and saw Li Ruyi coming out. Worried that he might not do it well and make Li Ruyi angry, he raised his voice two pitches higher.

"It's difficult at this time, so who doesn't have it? Why don't you go to the clan leader's house to ask for food? It's just because you think Ruyi is young!"

Li Shiwu, a fellow villager, felt a little bit reluctant, but the truth was there, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could not change the fact that these people took advantage of their weakness to bully others.

The thin old lady reached Li Shiwu's chest and slapped him hard with her hand.

"We really can't survive! We've also been to the clan leader's house, but they don't have any extra food. What can we do..."

Li Ruyi walked to the door and looked at the little old lady who looked a little swollen from hunger.

This person may be a little muddled, but her difficulties are real.

Li Shiwu didn't dare to fight with others and could only speak angrily.

"Then it's no use for you to come to us. There are so many of us to feed, it's already difficult for Ruyi to support us!"

After hearing this, the old lady looked pitiful again.

"I don't want too much, just give me a little. My little treasure is almost starving to death. He drank a bellyful of water today. If he doesn't eat something, he'll starve to death... wuwuwu... just give me a bite to eat!"

Li Shiwu glanced at Li Ruyi and seeing that Li Ruyi didn't say anything, he continued with a stern face.

"Everyone should take care of their own business and not worry about other people's troubles! Ruyi was in such a difficult time back then, and she didn't even have any food. Who came to help her?"

"Your home is your home, my home is my home. We earn our money pennies by penny. We wear out our shoes every year, climb mountains, and go through so much hardship. You haven't gone through any of that, either!"

Li Shiwu is a stubborn person. If a good neighbor who treats him well comes to visit, he will not refuse.

You may even worry about whether the other person is living a good life or whether it is enough.

But Li Shiwu really couldn't understand people who never said anything nice on a daily basis but came here to cry poor when they got into trouble.

What he said was very honest and he didn't mean to insult the other person deliberately.

Li Ruyi was listening nearby.

The old lady had seen too many stubborn people, and knew that Li Shiwu was not going to work, so she immediately changed her target.

"I can't explain it to a farmhand like you! I have to talk to Ruyi about this... Ruyi! You were raised by grandma, grandma begs you..."

As the old lady was about to kneel down to Li Ruyi, Li Shiwu quickly grabbed her.

"What are you doing? Are you begging for help? Aren't you forcing Ruyi, a junior, to submit to you?"

Honest people always speak to the point.

The old lady is really unwilling!

"Then what can I do? I can even kneel down for you!"

Her legs were as strong as her body, bent and hanging in the air, putting all her weight on them.

Li Shiwu didn't feel the weight was heavy, he was just frustrated by the other party's unreasonable behavior.

He went to see Li Ruyi like a big dog asking for help!

Li Ruyi had known that this day would come and had already made preparations.

She looked at the old lady and said.

"Grandma Nine, don't kneel to me. Brother Fifteen is right about some of the things he said. We don't have much food at home. I'll give it to you today. If you know the person who sent the letter will come to your house tomorrow, do you think I should give it to you or not?"

When the old lady heard Li Ruyi's words, her previous pity began to subside. She put her feet on the ground and broke free from Li Shiwu's big hand that was holding her.

"Ruyi...Ruyi, listen to what grandma is telling you! Our situations are different...Xiaobao is your brother, we are from the same clan, and he will always be your help in the future!"

Li Shiwu opened his mouth and wanted to say that you are no longer of the same race!

However, Li Ruyi continued speaking before he could open his mouth.

"That's too far away! Who knows what tomorrow will be like? I only look at the present."

She said this with such finality that even the old lady was intimidated by her aura.

The muscles on the old lady's face were trembling. If it were her previous temper, she might have turned hostile.

But looking at Li Ruyi's indifferent look and remembering how he had killed people before, she suppressed the urge to curse.

Sometimes, a strong fist can make many unreasonable people talk to reason.

"This... this... I, an old woman, have mistaken the person! It's me..."

She lowered her head, turned around and slowly walked away.

She walked back very slowly, as if she was waiting for Li Ruyi to take pity on her and sympathize with her, and then call her back.

But Li Ruyi just watched quietly, watching her back as she walked away without saying a word.

Li Shiwu wanted to close the door, but seeing Li Ruyi still standing there, he felt embarrassed and just waited with her.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't wait any longer because he hadn't finished his meal yet!

"Ruyi, let's go back!"

Li Ruyi came back to his senses and nodded.
