Good luck every time

Li Shiwu sighed.

"To find peace of mind! Otherwise, my heart will never be at peace."

He didn't know how good it would be to have Acai, he only knew it would be terrible without Acai.

One is the unknown direction.

One is the destined end.

He wanted to go somewhere unknown.

"I'm scared too, but I still...still want to go for a walk and take a look."

"Sister Acai..."

Li Shiwu wanted to ask her if they could go together.

No one relies on anyone unilaterally; the two people rely on each other!

Acai became Li Shiwu's motivation and confidence.

Li Shiwu will also become the beginning of Acai's new life.

The two looked at each other in silence, and A Cai didn't say a word for a long time.

It started snowing outside at some point, some people were happy while others were sad.

The next morning, fewer people went out, and a piece of news spread in the village from somewhere that the imperial court was about to open the granaries to release grain.

The people who had originally gathered around Li Ruyi's house suddenly gathered around the village head's house.

The head of the village was very annoyed, but he had to do something, so he went to the county town.

He didn't return until evening.

Soon, Sanjia Village was in an uproar.

The matter of opening the warehouse and releasing grain has been decided, and it will happen in the next few days.

The village head has a list of names, and all registered people can receive food according to the number of people and their age.

We don’t know the exact amount yet, but it’s good news.

Now Li Zheng went to the county more often.

While he was running back and forth, Xiaoman followed Li Shiliu to the mountains.

Li Ruyi was always the one who was sent out, and this was the first time she sent her family out.

Although I know Xiaoman already has some ability to protect herself, I still can't let it go.

My eldest sister is much the same.

However, the two of them had so much to do that they forgot about it as they were busy.

When I remembered, Xiaoman had already returned.

She was quite happy about her first trip out, and followed Li Ruyi around to tell her about what she had seen and heard that day.

When evening came, a large group of people finished their meal and prepared to go home, but Li Shiwu stayed.

After everyone had left, he and Acai told Granny Ding and Li Ruyi the news that they had decided to get married.

"I thought about it all night last night and figured out a lot."

Li Jixiang didn't understand the situation at all and was a little confused.

Sister Acai, who had previously been as opposed to marriage as she was, suddenly decided to get married, and her husband was her cousin.

A Cai felt a little embarrassed and secretly glanced at Li Shiwu.

Li Shiwu's face also turned red.

"I have just gone back and told my parents. My mother will come to propose marriage for me tomorrow."

When his mother heard that Li Shiwu was going to marry Acai, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

I really want to make a scene and see what kind of magic potion A Cai has given to my son.

However, she was finally persuaded by Old Mrs. Li.

The reasons given by Mrs. Li made her feel completely powerless.

"Don't you remember the twenty bucks you brought back? When you went to Ruyi's house to make trouble, were you making trouble for Ah Cai or Ruyi? Or your son?"

"You have more than one son, fifteen. You have to think about twenty as well!"

Li Shiwu's mother burst into tears instantly, but what Old Lady Li said strangled her, making her afraid of being heard even when she was crying.

With Li Er as a handle, Li Shiwu's marriage will be a piece of cake!

After Li Shiwu and Acai informed Li Ruyi, they returned home. His mother tried to persuade him for half the night, but to no avail. So he could only run to his mother-in-law and cry for half the night.

With another sentence, Old Mrs. Li suppressed all the resentment in her heart.

"Who do you think our family relies on to be so prosperous now? In my opinion, it might be a good thing for Shiwu to marry Ah Cai! You too, not only should you not cry, but you should also be happy. Marrying her means we are a family, and you can't let outsiders laugh at you."

After this incident, Li Shiwu's mother was even more angry and had to swallow her anger.

I thought angrily in my heart, since Li Shiwu is willing, let him live his life however he wants!

At worst, she could help adopt a child in the future. We can't let the child die without a descendant, right? ?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She cried twice more.

After crying enough, she had to put on some powder the next day, dress herself up, wear the most decent clothes, call her best old sisters, and go to the neighboring house with the gifts prepared by her family and Li Shiwu.

When her old sisters heard that Li Shiwu was going to marry Acai, they were shocked.

She didn't expect this kind of operation could be possible!

No wonder the whole Li family hugged Li Ruyi's thighs so tightly, this is licking to the extreme, even the face is not worth it...

If she knew this was possible, she would have asked her son to do it long ago.

Who doesn’t have a couple of useless snacks at home?

She clenched her teeth and continued to persuade him.

"Acai can't have children, what do you think?"

What could Li Shiwu's mother think? As long as her son was willing, she couldn't do anything about it!

"Acai is a good and hardworking person. I have been watching her for three years and know her inside out! She was saved by Shiwu. Maybe their fate was destined by heaven!"

"Besides, our family is well-off and we have so many children. It's good enough to have a wife. There's no room for being picky!"

Li Shiwu's mother didn't dare to say that this was what her son liked.

Otherwise, Ah Cai will have the reputation of seducing men.

Her reputation was bad enough because she was barren and disfigured.

It's better for us to bear this bad reputation ourselves.

No matter how bad it sounds to curry favor with Li Ruyi, it is better than having an indecent daughter-in-law.

Li Shiwu's mother has no other advantages except that she listens to advice.

We all know that we can’t change it, so we might as well just admit that we are shameless.

The old sisters are so jealous!

I don’t know how much dowry Li Ruyi will give when Acai gets married.

But then I thought, they are not real sisters, so maybe she won’t give me anything.

But then he changed his mind and remembered Li Ruyi's one thousand taels of silver and those good things. He felt that even if some of the change slipped through his fingers, it would be enough for Acai and the Li family to live a worry-free life for many years.

Li Ruyi is so generous to the villagers, how could he not be nice to Acai?

The more I think about it, the more sour I feel.

She has been to Li Ruyi many times. There are not many villagers who have not come to Ruyi to exchange food.

Once you start exchanging food, it is difficult to stop. If you don’t exchange half a pound of food every day, you will feel that you have lost out.

Li Shiwu's mother was a rare guest. Although she lived next door, because the children in the family all lived here for a living, no one ever came to exchange the half kilogram of food.

As soon as she arrived, Jixiang forced himself to go and greet her. After entering the house, he was received by Granny Ding herself!

Being so serious is also a protection for Ah Cai.

With the previous incident of Li Ruyi cutting off Li Daqing's tongue, as long as she was still alive, no one in Sanjia Village would dare to gossip about her in front of Acai.

A Cai was pushed into the study by Li Ruyi. It was not appropriate for her to be present at the subsequent discussions.

She was a little nervous, worried that Li Shiwu's mother would be unhappy and unwilling, and then worried that Ruyi would spend money on her.

She had saved some money over the years, about two strings of cash, and Li Shiwu also had some money, which was enough for the two of them to get married in Sanjia Village.

However, Li Ruyi would not let her marry next door like this.

A little bit of glory would be good for Ah Cai.

Granny Ding and Li Ruyi had discussed this before, and when they saw that Li Shiwu had really taken care of his family, they cooperated.

Li Shiwu's mother smiled and talked about the marriage. However, Granny Ding did not agree directly, but asked the other party how she wanted the couple to live in the future.

How else can we live?

Li Shiwu's mother now wished she could kick both of them out so that she wouldn't be bothered by them.

The conversation naturally ended here.

"Before I was fifteen, I would give half of the money to my family. Now that I'm married, I have to support my family. From now on, I will give 30%."

"The house is ready. If they want to eat with us, we can cook together. If they don't want to eat together, they can cook whatever they want. We won't interfere."

"My family can give me a five-guan betrothal gift, plus two mu of land. Fifteen also has some stuff. Although it's not much, Fifteen can make money, and it's enough for the two of us to live on!"

"As long as the young couple live a good and comfortable life, we as old people have no other requests."

Li Shiwu's mother was really sincere.

Last time, Li Er brought home fifty taels of silver, but the money was given directly to Old Lady Li, who divided it equally and left some for each child as a betrothal gift.

Although five strings of cash is not a lot, it basically cost Li Shiwu's mother all the money she had saved over the years.

This is for the sake of my family and Acai's face.

This amount of betrothal gift is not too shabby no matter who you marry in the village.

Li Ruyi sat aside and listened, and after listening, she tapped the kang with her finger intentionally or unintentionally.

The sound was subtle and seemed to be done casually.

But Grandma Ding heard it very clearly that Li Ruyi was very satisfied with the attitude of the Li family.

If the other party performs well, she will naturally give him more in public to make both parties look good.

If the other party behaves badly, she will keep those things in private, quietly, and not let others know.

Granny Ding immediately understood and spoke.

"I have lived in the village for so many years. I watched Shiwu grow up. He also learned martial arts from me. Although he did not become my disciple, he can be considered as half of my apprentice."

"Let alone Ah Cai, it's a good thing that she can keep the clouds clear and gain your family's favor."

"We are very satisfied with this marriage. As for the dowry, we should not be too far off. We will give Ah Cai five strings of cash and buy the land in front to build a yard for Ah Cai."

When they heard that the girl was going to build a house, the eyes of Fifteenth Niang's old sister became ambiguous.

Could it be that this is to let Li Shiwu marry into the family?

Li Shiwu's mother also frowned and was about to speak when Li Ruyi spoke.

"Brother Fifteen and his men have been following me for so many years, I can't let them work for nothing. This courtyard has connections to Ah Cai, but it also has connections to Brother Fifteen."

"Not only him, I'm also planning to build a yard for Brother Sixteen as well!"

The old sisters just felt a little excited, but were immediately overwhelmed by jealousy.

This is such a good deal!

Doesn't that mean that when Li Er gets married, Li Ruyi will have to give more.

You know, Li Er is a fellow student of Li Ruyi!

That was a formal kowtow to Granny Ding.

Once the general tone is set, all that remains to be discussed are the miscellaneous trivialities.

Both sides made concessions, but everything was very harmonious.

When everyone left, Li Ruyi handed a red envelope to the matchmaker.

The old sisters, whose hearts were almost corroded by the acid water, calmed down instantly.

She held the red envelope and felt it was hard, but she had no idea what was inside.

But it is a great thing to gain something from the trip.
