Good luck every time

Li Ruyi listened to the noise and waited until the people left before he talked to the village head about what had happened in the past few days.

"Everything is fine for me in the capital city. I plan to buy a yard there to use as a warehouse. I may go somewhere else in the future."

The head of the village looked at Li Ruyi's appearance and felt a little worried.

"Ruyi, I'm not spoiling your mood, but you're getting older. Haven't you ever thought about starting a family in the future?"

There are not many people around Li Ruyi who can remind her.

Whether it was Li Laosi or Li Laoliu, they both lost Li Ruyi's trust due to various problems.

In the village, probably only Granny Ding or the old lady from the Li family would be appropriate to say such things.

But Granny Ding was a gangster and didn't care where Li Ruyi went or what she did.

Not to mention the old lady of the Li family. She knew very well that her status as an elder was due to the help she had given to Li Ruyi in his early years.

The more you use your kindness, the less you will say unnecessary words.

In her heart, she occasionally disagreed with some of Li Ruyi's ideas, but she also understood that the business that Li Ruyi was in charge of was getting bigger and bigger, and her disapproval was sometimes a constraint rather than a help to Li Ruyi.

If others can reach a position that she cannot, they must have their own abilities, so it is unnecessary for her to interrupt.

So for all this time, no one around Li Ruyi ever advised her to get married.

What's more, people around them set their sights on marrying Li Jixiang without even considering Li Ruyi.

It has become a stereotype that men are strong and women are weak. If it were the other way around, it would cause a lot of unwarranted criticism.

Li Ruyi pondered for a moment, but did not hide anything from the village head.

"Uncle, I won't hide it from you. I can't make a decision about the future right now. Let's take it one step at a time!"

The head of the village frowned and sighed.

"You have always been a person with your own ideas. When you wanted to settle down, you wanted to settle down as a female resident. I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but you still came out of it."

"But as your elder, I still have to say a few more words."

"There is no reason for people in this world not to get married. Not to mention that young couples grow old together, just think about how you will live when you are old and your health is poor?"

"You are still young, so take advantage of the many choices you have and think more about it. Don't block your own path."

Maybe because it’s Chinese New Year, it seems that all the elders want to give some advice to the younger generations.

Li Ruyi understood that the village head had good intentions.

Being eccentric is not a good thing, and there are many people who are glorious in their prime but miserable in their old age.

If you wait until you are old, without children to protect you, without a spouse to accompany you, and without money to rely on, how miserable will life be?

Every day I just sit at the gate of the yard, watching the sunrise and sunset, hoping that I can be free.

I can’t farm the land, the food is tasteless, and I have plenty of time, but it’s empty.

The village head understood that even if Li Ruyi really ended up like this, he would not be able to see it.

But that didn't stop him from worrying about Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi was quite calm and was not bothered by what the head of the village said.

"Uncle, I don't know if I can live to old age in peace. It's too far to think about old age now."

"I can't guarantee that I will have children after I get married, nor can I guarantee that the children will grow up safely. I can't guarantee that my partner will be with me until old age. I may even die when I give birth to a child!"

"No one can predict what will happen in the future. I live in the present, not in the future."

"I will consider things when I am 80, but I can only live at 15 now. I still have so many years to feel and experience."

When the village head heard Li Ruyi's discouraging words, he took a deep breath, but when Li Ruyi finished speaking, he could no longer refute.

"I'm not asking you to think about your eighties, but you should also think about what will happen in a few years. After a woman gets married, she should always put her family first. You're running around now, which is detrimental to your reputation."

"If someone marries you for your money, your married life won't be easy!"

The village head said this after careful consideration.

The fifteen-year-old girl is different after all!

Li Ruyi understood what he meant and spoke frankly.

"If I like someone, I can endure a lot of suffering, but I have only one bottom line: I will never change my household registration in my life."

Even though the target was Han Shian, Li Ruyi never thought of registering their household registration together.

She is always the head of her own household.

This time, the village head was really speechless after hearing what she said.

"Just make up your mind, and I won't be the evil person who disregards your wishes."

It is said that honest advice hurts the ears.

But what is the standard for "honest advice"?

The head of the village was actually thinking about Li Ruyi this time, but his thinking was still too superficial.

Li Ruyi has experienced the fate of being controlled by others. In this life, she will never completely trust anyone except herself.

"What are you talking about, cousin? You are doing this for my own good. It's just that after what I've been through, I no longer trust others. Even my brother, who is born to the same mother, wants to sell me out, let alone other people!?"

"What is the purpose of living?"

"Maybe some people think that living is a heritage, but I am a selfish person, I live for a taste!"

"In my current situation, ordinary people's life is no longer suitable for me. If I stop here and go home to get married and have children like other women in the village, what will be the meaning of my life?"

Li Ruyi's words may seem radical, but upon closer examination, they seem to be nothing wrong.

There is no need for people to have the same pursuits!

The village head suddenly understood something.

He was not a rigid and stubborn person to begin with, but after hearing this, he had more ideas.

He did not mention Li Ruyi's future and marriage again, but instead talked about trivial matters in the village.

"As long as you understand it!"

"By the way, a lot of people have come to ask me about you these past few days. They're probably worried that you won't come back to collect coal after you go to the city!"

Some people acted very politely when Li Ruyi was around, always saying that they didn't take her seriously. But when Li Ruyi really decided to settle down in the capital, they all became afraid.

However, Li Ruyi didn't think anything of it.

This is normal human nature.

No expectations, no disappointment.

"We will collect what needs to be collected. Don't worry about this matter."

"But burning charcoal is not good for your health. Uncle, you should talk to everyone and tell them not to work so hard in the future."

"Besides burning charcoal, I also know some other ways to make money. My life will get better and better in the future."

The head of the village had also heard some things in the village recently and began to worry about Li Ruyi again.

"I heard from the people who went to the capital with you that you haven't sold the charcoal you collected in the past few times..."

Li Ruyi didn't hide it. Why should she hide her hard work from everyone?

Originally, this matter was not just hers.

If it was just for the sake of making money, Li Ruyi would definitely portray himself as an invincible strong man, and he would never let anyone else know about this.

But she gave away all her food in exchange for the lives of many people, so why can't she play a victim?!

She couldn't make any money in Sanjia Village, because Sanjia Village had no money!

All she could get was prestige.

"As the climate warms up, it will be even harder to sell charcoal. I am also thinking of other ways to make money."

"I have used all my money to exchange for food, so I can't afford to stockpile too much charcoal. Otherwise, it would be worthwhile to store it now and sell it in winter."

"But I have other ways to make money. I'll think about it after the New Year."

After hearing this, the village head nodded.

"We villagers have been working as peasants our whole lives. We don't see as much as you do."

"No matter what others think, your cousin supports you!"

Speaking of support, Li Ruyi had an idea.

"Come to think of it, I really have something I want to ask your opinion on today."

Hearing Li Ruyi's politeness, the village head frowned.

"Just say what you want to say. It makes me uncomfortable to listen to you being so flowery."

Li Ruyi has gotten used to staying in the provincial capital these days. The various qualities from her previous life have slowly reappeared in her, causing her to always speak with a bit of the provincial capital's mannerisms.

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to ask my cousin, what are your plans for my eldest cousin's family in the future?"

When the village head heard this, his eyes widened.

He moved his body, feeling uncomfortable sitting.

Li Ruyi saw that sweat was already oozing out of his forehead in just a moment.

"Nothing! Just farming and raising kids, raising kids and farming!"

Li Ruyi heard the worry in his tone and followed suit in explaining.

"Actually, I'm mainly attracted to Xiaohua. Although she's young, she's very talented. It's hopeless for girls to go to school, but if she can learn more, it's better than being blind."

The village head remained silent, but in fact he had already rehearsed many possibilities in his mind.

In response to those possibilities, the village head also made various options.

Some people refuse after thinking about it, while others refuse without even thinking about it!

After he thought about all the possibilities he could think of, he spoke slowly.

"What do you think? I see that you get along well with the Li family. There are more than 20 children in his family. Do you still need people to do the work?"

Li Ruyi heard the implicit refusal in the headman's words and continued.

"It's easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it's hard to get a general. I actually value Xiaohua more. However, if I take her to the capital alone, her marriage will always be affected in the future."

"Then I might as well say that it was my cousin who I invited first. In this way, although my cousin will be questioned, Xiaohua will also be able to get out of this matter."
