Good luck every time

Things at the Li family soon became a matter of fact.

For a while, the three villages were in chaos.

Even without Li Ruyi taking any action, all kinds of condemnation came pouring in, directed at the villagers who wanted to raise the price.

This is understandable. After all, if they take one more cent, Li Ruyi will have one less cent to exchange for the villagers.

Who can tolerate such a blatant act of taking advantage of others?

Those who could still raise livestock at this time meant that they were still living a decent life and would not starve to death without Li Ruyi's food.

But some families have a really hard time, and now they rely entirely on Li Ruyi's half a pound of food every day to survive.

Even if the imperial court opened its granaries, how much grain could be distributed?

More than ten kilograms per person is already the limit.

In the past years of disaster, some people starved to death even when the granaries were open. Some people even sold their children after receiving food and collected some more money so that they could survive the disaster.

The disaster this year is not serious, not as serious as when there was no harvest.

But who knows what will happen next year?

What if the newly planted crops are still diseased?

Everyone's concerns are not without reason.

Disasters that occur out of nowhere will not go away out of nowhere.

Just when these things were causing a stir in Sanjia Village.

The village head was discussing who would go to the provincial capital with Li Ruyi.

"It's getting colder and colder, and it's not easy to sleep outdoors, but what Ruyi is doing is also for the good of the village. After all, I am the head of the village, and I can't just sit back and do nothing."

"My idea is that whoever wants to go can go, and those who don't want to go can choose not to go."

"Just a little bit. You can't take the money. Our family doesn't need that little money!"

The head of the village had a cow and an ox cart at home. The cow was the most precious thing in the family, so naturally he was reluctant to let it work for others.

The current situation is special, and the village head feels that if no one in the village stands up, it would discourage others.

Even if everyone can be shameless and not appreciate it, the village head cannot do it!

After hearing this, his eldest son sighed.

"Then I'll go! I've always been the one taking care of Old Huang at home, and it's freezing outside so it'll be easier for me to take care of him."

The village head looked at his other sons and found that no one was willing to take the job.

He nodded and agreed.

"Okay! Go ahead then! See if you have enough clothes. It's always a good idea to wear more when you go out."

The head of the village is not worried that the children don’t eat well. With Li Ruyi around, the food may be better than at home!

The most important thing is to dress well, otherwise it will be too difficult to endure on the road.

While his family was discussing these things, Li Laoliu was also directing the people at home.

"Where's Daxing? Where's Daxing?"

Hearing his father calling him, Li Daxing ran out of his room.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Laoliu had just sent away the person who came to deliver the message, and he was frowning and looked in a bad mood.

"Take your family's ox cart and your eldest son and go over to help Li Ruyi for a few days!"

"Take good care of the cows at home!"

Li Daxing nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out the door, but halfway through he remembered something, retracted his foot and asked Li Laoliu.

"Dad, why should we help Li Ruyi?"

Li Laoliu also hated it in his heart!

Why should we help Li Ruyi?

Yes! Why?

"She is a member of the Li family after all. If we don't help her now, will we wait for her to really leave the Li family?"

"She's not that stupid, why are you so stupid?"

Every time Li Laoliu clashed with Li Ruyi, he ended up suffering a loss.

Just like at this time, he had to stand beside Li Ruyi.

What else can be done?

Are you going to let the Han family laugh at you?

Of course, everyone will laugh at Li Ruyi for betting on the wrong horse in Han Shian and Li Xi, but will Li Laoliu and Li Xi's reputation be good?

You can't escape the reputation of kicking someone when they are down and being cold-blooded and heartless!

Since they are all tied together in front of outsiders, would it be justifiable not to help at this time?

Li Laoliu was so annoyed! He waved his hand and told Li Daxing to get out.

"Get out! Don't die outside!"

Li Daxing shrank his neck after being scolded and turned to walk out.

The same thing became even more painful when it came to Patriarch Han!

"What a bunch of idiots! Have your brains been eaten by dogs? Are you crazy not to make money when you have the chance?"

"How can they get a place in line at the county grain store with their arsenal of idiots? They want to take advantage of the village!"

"Li Pandi too! Why don't you just kill all these people if you are so arrogant? You make me upset every day!"

"I didn't eat a single bite of her food, but I still have to clean up her mess! She's even using her vitriol towards our Han family!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"..."

While cursing, Chief Han asked his son to pull the cart and go find Li Ruyi.

I'm so angry!

However, he couldn't just be angry by himself. When the children at home were busy going out, he called his grandson to find the elders of the Han family.

A group of people gathered together, cursed all the rickshaw drivers of the Han family, and then went out in a mighty manner!

By the time his son packed up and was about to go to Li Ruyi's place, they had not returned yet.

Patriarch Han has a violent temper, and whoever he uses it on will feel uncomfortable.

By noon, when Li Ruyi was thinking about going to the county to hire a few cars, the village head's eldest son and Li Daxing arrived together.

Although Li Ruyi has a better relationship with the eldest son of the village head, she still has some unpleasant past with Li Daxing.

But she was equally kind to both of them.

They are all here to help, how can she look down on them?

By the afternoon, the son of Chief Han also arrived.

Li Ruyi also welcomed the guest in politely.

We can't leave today, so we just came here to express our stance.

By the evening, people from Patriarch Sun's family had also arrived.

These carts, plus Li Ruyi's donkey cart, are almost enough.

It would be enough for Li Ruyi to hire two or three more cars.

She thought it was better to do something familiar than to do something new, so she got up early the next morning and found the handlebar that she usually used.

The man was much like his mule, both had lost a lot of weight.

She is so thin that she looks like she will fly away if the wind blows.

Li Ruyi explained his purpose.

"Uncle, I have some goods that I want to send to the capital city. I need three vehicles, but I have to follow the team. It will take a few days. Do you think it is convenient for you?"

Some people have no men in their families, and in these chaotic times, they are unwilling to leave the hospital for the safety of their families.

After hearing this, the driver hesitated for a moment.

"So how are you going to hire?"

Eighty cents per trip is definitely not a good price!

As soon as Li Ruyi heard this, he knew there was something going on, so he spoke tentatively.

"Which do you want, food or money?"

When the coachman heard that Li Ruyi had food, his eyes lit up and he immediately said.

"We need food!"

The price of old coarse grains has now risen to 17 or 18 cents per pound. In the past, if people paid two cents, they would have to consider whether their livestock would eat it. Now it is difficult for people to even get enough food.

Li Ruyi counted the food in his family and spoke.

"If I provide food, I can give you thirty kilograms of coarse grains, and you will be back in about seven or eight days."

"If you don't need my supply, I can give you fifty kilograms of food, all from this year or last year, well preserved, not moldy!"
