Good luck every time

After Sun changed her clothes, the clan grandmother was called over by the eldest sister.

It is not the busy farming season yet, and the old ladies in the village would gather under the big tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool, do their work, and chat about gossip about the neighbors.

The Li family’s home is at the end of the village. It takes about three quarters of an hour to run from here to the village entrance and then back.

In addition, the grandmother had poor legs and feet, so she naturally walked slower.

The grandmother of the clan came over and was shocked to see Sun, who died with her eyes open.

When Li Ruyi saw her, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

In their previous life, the three sisters all had a bad ending, and this old lady played an indispensable role in their success.

She promised Sun to find a "good husband" for her eldest sister, which caused her eldest sister to die at the age of sixteen.

When the third sister was seventeen years old, she was arranged to marry a man for Li Zhuzi in the name of finding a wife for him. However, the third sister was killed in a car accident right after she got married because her husband died.

At that time, 19-year-old Li Ruyi had been sold to a brothel by Li Zhuzi to sing songs, but apart from her low status and frequent harassment, she was still able to make a living.

But just to help her third sister break off the engagement, she had to take a young man from a local wealthy family as a concubine, hoping to get the Zhao family's protection and help for her sister.

Who knew it was still a step too late!

When the third sister was dug out of the grave, the person was already dead.

Li Ruyi's scheming ended up with nothing but loss of money and people, and he also went astray and had a rough life.

However, this old lady brought disaster to the three sisters, but she lived a long and happy life with a good reputation.

It was just a matter of sacrificing three orphans from other families, but it brought benefits to his own family, and by the way, he helped that stupid Zhuzi buy land and property and get a wife, which earned him the trust of the tribe members and a good reputation.

As for what happened to those three girls in the future!

Who cares?

It’s all just a matter of a word from the person who stayed behind.

Maybe she would even call Li Ruyi shameless, saying that she had a sharp eye and had long seen that she was a despicable woman who was willing to degenerate by clinging to men.

Li Zhuzi would not make excuses, and the clan grandmother was happy to see it happen...

The tragic life of the three sisters was destined when they were born into Sun's belly!

However, Li Ruyi did not hate this old lady.

After all, without Li Zhuzi's consent, the other party can't do anything!

Even if they were planning it, the roots on their side would be rotten first.

Besides, Li Ruyi was also wrong. She mistakenly believed other people's assessment of the clan grandmother, which made her think that the other party was a trustworthy person. She thought that after losing her father and mother, she could still get the respect of the clan members and the mercy of the clan leader, which gave them the opportunity to hurt the third brother and herself!

So she didn't hate her grandmother.

Because hating this thing is too powerless, she would have stopped doing it long ago!

She would not let these people destroy the joy of her rebirth.

This is the case with Mrs. Sun, this is the case with Li Zhuzi, and this is the case with the grandmother of the clan!

She would just remove these people from her life one by one, and would not let anyone who got in her way have an easy life.

The grandmother, who looked old and kind, stood aside and wiped away her tears as she looked at Sun's miserable appearance.

After crying, he touched Li Ruyi's head and began to explain.

"Poor child! Your mother is so cruel at such a young age, but we can't neglect her."

"Listen to grandma, get whatever you need quickly, I'll ask the uncles and aunts to come over and help build the shed."

"You have a quick mind. Go to the funeral supplies shop in the county and buy a thin coffin, a few feet of white cloth, a yellow ox and a paper man, and some paper money."

"Let Zhaoer find the wood in your house and prepare some food. We need to build the shed as soon as possible."

"Let's buy some more paper to make banners..."

She spoke carefully one by one, and Li Ruyi just listened without interrupting.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Li Ruyi had no intention of moving, the old lady asked again worriedly.

"But is there anything else you don't remember?"

Li Ruyi shook his head.

"Grandma, we have no money!"

The wealthy old lady who was wiping her tears was stunned by Li Ruyi's words, and she almost couldn't hold back the kindness on her face.

What's going on? If you don't have money, do you still need the clan to pay?

She took a deep breath, looking a little embarrassed.

"This...this...then don't worry...Grandma will help you think of a solution..."

Li Ruyi just listened to this. She was not confident enough now. If she really took advantage of the other party, she didn't know what she would get in return!

She looked embarrassed, looked at Sun lying on the plank bed, then turned her head to look at the clan grandmother and said awkwardly.

"Or, let's keep it simple! I split the old elm wood we had at home half a month ago and made a thin coffin myself. The tung oil I used has dried up now, so there's no need to buy a coffin."

Li Ruyi had just been reborn for two days when he began to prepare for the funeral.

In her previous life, she was displaced and later imprisoned, living a life of one meal a day, with one steamed bun and two bowls of water for each meal.

At that time, she had nothing to do except being hungry, and she spent the whole day reminiscing about the past.

Until she starved to death, she had recalled the whole process of Sun's death more than a thousand and eight hundred times.

She had rehearsed all the ways to deal with the problem thousands of times in her mind.

The coffin is the biggest expense in a funeral. The worst thin coffin weighs at least three or four taels. Li Ruyi has no money, and neither does the Li family.

She couldn't let anyone sell her elder sister, she had to save all the money!

The old lady looked hesitant and glanced vaguely at Li Zhaodi, who was already fourteen years old this year.

A fierce look flashed across Li Ruyi's eyes, and after she regained her composure, she continued.

"We already have white cloth and big paper for burning paper at home. We don't want to build a shed, so we can just put it inside the house! Our mothers are here for us, she won't hurt us, and we are not afraid!"

Grandma: ...

"We don't have the skills to make yellow cattle and paper figurines. I will go to the county town to buy some later. I still have some food at home. If the funeral shop accepts the food, I will leave it there. If not, I will have to exchange it for money before buying anything else."

Li Ruyi recalled the prickly touch of the straw on Sun's bed when she was wiping her body just now. She felt that Sun must have hidden some money, but she didn't know if it was enough for the funeral.

Grandma: ...

"It's good that you know what's going on. Grandma will go and call people over for you!"

Li Ruyi agreed while calculating how much money it would cost.

"Excuse me, Grandma!"

When the old lady went out, the neighbors around were already peeking in at the broken door of the Li family's house. When they learned that Sun had died, they all sighed and looked regretful.

The third aunt stood aside for a while, and after listening to Li Ruyi's clear arrangements, she felt relieved and said she would help cut the strips of cloth, and gave some instructions.

After she finished explaining and left, Li Ruyi quietly walked to Sun's bedside and looked at her miserable face as she died with her eyes open.

She wiped away her tears hypocritically, and then took out the three taels of silver while everyone was busy and not paying attention to her.

However, when she went to the county, she still carried some of her own grain with her.

The village is farther from the town than the county, so villagers go directly to the county to buy things. It takes two hours to walk back and forth.

Although Li Ruyi is only eleven years old, she is already familiar with this route in order to sell things and buy medicine.

Even though she hadn't walked such a long road for more than ten years in her previous life, her body was now more adapted to this place than her soul, so she didn't feel anything as she walked all the way.

Arriving at the county's coffin street, Li Ruyi went into any store and asked if they would buy rice.

Bartering is not uncommon nowadays. There are always some families who are so poor that they have nothing but a little food.

The owner of the funeral supplies shop was well-informed and was not surprised by anything sent for burying the ancestors. He waved his hand and pointed to the shop at the end of the alley.

"Go there! We don't accept food here!"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi hurriedly thanked the man and left the store obediently.

These stores together are both competitors and partners. In order to make money, everyone generally differentiates their customer groups.

For example, the funeral supplies store that Li Ruyi just visited, the owner only likes to do business with wealthy people, so the things he prepares are more exquisite and the prices are also very attractive.

The shop at the end of the alley specializes in doing business with poor families. Their products are crude, but they do business quickly and can also collect grain, so they make small profits but sell a lot.

Li Ruyi exchanged the food and bought everything he needed here. Since there were no big items, he only spent an extra one or two or three coins of silver besides the food.

The remaining one or two taels were stuffed back into her belt.
