Good luck every time

Patriarch Li chased for a while and soon realized that he could not catch Li Ruyi this way.

If this matter gets out of hand, it will definitely affect his reputation. What he needs to do now is not to argue with Li Ruyi about who is right or wrong, but to calm the situation down as soon as possible.

Li Ruyi was dragged by the village head and ran quite far away. Clan leader Li finally stopped and many people gathered around him to comfort him.

After all, Patriarch Li has been the patriarch for so many years, and has influenced many people in a subtle way.

Some people believed what Li Ruyi said, but many people did not. It was impossible for people to doubt their old patriarch who had been the patriarch for thirty years just because of the ambiguous words of an eleven-year-old girl.

Patriarch Li beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking very angry with Li Ruyi. He stopped and pointed in Li Ruyi's direction and said.

"Okay, okay... It seems that you feel that you have grown wings and don't want to stay in our Li family anymore. In this case, then you all should leave the family and find other ways!"

Li Ruyi sneered and jumped up and down, cursing him in the crowd.

"You know we can't be manipulated by you, so you're going to take away all the land you cheated from my father, right?"

"That's right. Without us, Li Zhuzi, how can we have a good life? He used the name of leaving the tribe to take away all the land in my family and bring it all back to the tribe. You are dreaming!"

Patriarch Li was waiting for Li Ruyi to say this. He looked across the crowd and spoke in Li Ruyi's tone.

"Zhu Zi is from our Li family. Why should he go with you? He is in the clan, and there are naturally people in the clan to take care of him."

"As for you, I want to see how well you can live after leaving the Li family!"

Just as Li Ruyi thought, this kind of thing was just a matter of a word from the head of the Li family. Although it might be criticized, the one who would be criticized more would definitely be Li Ruyi rather than the other party.

Finally hearing the confirmation, Li Ruyi agreed immediately.

"Then I am very honored. I will have the chance to have Chief Li look at me more in this life!"

The village head didn't know Li Ruyi's purpose, but it was too late for him to cover his mouth.

He sighed inwardly.

This child really doesn't know her place. Without her parents and the protection of the Li clan leader, she probably has no idea how difficult her future life will be!

Li Ruyi has achieved his goal, so naturally he won't bother her anymore.

She has separated from the family and established her own family. Her name is not on the family tree, and all the elders above her have died.

Apart from the fact that the household is female, there are a lot of orphans like this in Da Qi, and there are a few in every village. It won't take long for this trend to pass.

Apart from Patriarch Li and some people with ulterior motives, who else could keep an eye on how she lives her life every day?

The Li family of Sanjia Village is not a prominent family. From generation to generation, only the people in this half of the village have been influenced, and their influence only covers the county town at most.

But Li Ruyi didn't think she would stay in this county town forever.

She knew that she would definitely leave here!

Patriarch Li was so angry that his hands were shaking. He realized that Li Ruyi was taking revenge on him for Li Zhuzi's attempt to sell her out.

Patriarch Li was also a little angry.

Although he really wanted to sell the girls from the Li family, he hadn't done it yet!

Of course, he didn't know that the debt Li Ruyi was settling on him was not for this life, but for the previous life.

"You ungrateful little bastard! I'm just going to look at you a few more times and see how you're going to get along from now on!"

After Patriarch Li finished his harsh words, Li Ruyi wanted to say something else.

But before she could open her mouth, she heard several children running over and calling her loudly.

"Sister Ruyi, Sister Ruyi, that group of people is gone!"

"Yes, yes, yes! They beat up Li Zhuzi and left..."

"They also said that they would stop you on your way out of the village and sell you if you were caught!"

"Yes yes yes!"

The child's voice was so penetrating that it immediately drew everyone's attention back to Li Zhuzi.

Hearing that the person had left, Li Ruyi finally relaxed a little. The head of the village also breathed a sigh of relief and inadvertently looked up at Patriarch Li.

Just now, Patriarch Li said that he would compensate the other party with five taels of silver, but when he was distracted, the person had already left without mentioning the five taels of silver.

A wrong decision could deal a bigger blow to Patriarch Li’s reputation than what Li Ruyi just said.

Patriarch Li's face looked unhappy, and he secretly cursed those thugs for being useless and not being able to hold on for such a short while.

He did not drive Li Zhuzi away, and Li Zhuzi did not owe him any money, so he could not get back a penny from the two acres of land.

In front of everyone, it was impossible for him to attack Li Zhuzi in a short period of time.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be confirming the saying that the whole family will be wiped out?

He is so old now, he still needs to maintain some dignity.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not worth it for such a small amount of money. If he could add another ten or twenty taels of silver, he would be so shameless.

When they returned to the yard, they saw the mess.

Patriarch Li snorted and took the lead in attacking Li Ruyi.

"You little bastard, you are no longer a member of our Li family. You can no longer live in this Li family house, and the Li family's land has nothing to do with you. If you come to this yard again in the future, I will catch you and break your dog legs!"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi withdrew his foot instantly.

She originally wanted to put on a show and help Li Zhuzi up, but now it’s perfect, so she doesn’t have to put on a show!

"Well, in that case, thank you for your help! There's another one lying in the yard!"

"I don't dare go in!"

"But I'm not as cruel as you. If the guy in the backyard is starving to death, come find me. I'll give him something to eat anytime!"

Li Ruyi wished that Li Zhuzi would starve to death.

But she couldn't just ignore it. Li Zhuzi could be instigated to sell her out, or he could be instigated to sue her.

Nowadays, when a lawsuit does not involve a major case requiring beheading, the final verdict is decided by the local county magistrate. When reporting, only the case file is submitted, and the reasons for the case are also written by local officials.

Li Ruyi had neither fame nor wealth, and was even a woman.

In today's world where women are expected to be virtuous and kind, her resistance will not be praised by anyone.

Li Zhuzi is too young, so basically every time she sues her, her case will be successful.

But it would be meaningless if she used the fact that she was almost sold to refute it.

Some people may scold Li Zhuzi for being a good-for-nothing, but no vested interest group is willing to give up their interests to her.

Even if that was a right she should have had.

When Li Ruyi refused to live according to the opinions of others, the cruelty of the environment was truly revealed to her.

What's more, the misery she experienced in her previous life was just the tip of the iceberg of oppression.

She would make choices. Just as she said herself, if Li Zhuzi was about to die, she would give him a bite to eat in exchange for the overall balance, but other than that, she would not make any contribution to Li Zhuzi.

There was a hint of different emotion in Patriarch Li's eyes when he looked at Li Ruyi.

A selfish person like him can spot the hypocrisy of others at the first sight. Li Ruyi can deceive others by pretending to be good, but she can't deceive him.

Li Ruyi faced his gaze without fear.

I have already offended you, so it would be ridiculous to say anything soft.

Trying to keep things quiet won't solve any problems, and she and the clan leader will only drift further and further apart in the future due to the confrontation.

A wolf will not pity the sheep he eats.

The struggle of their prey is also part of their hunting pleasure.
