Good luck every time

By the time I had finished discussing with the village head, it was already noon.

The head of the village invited Li Ruyi to stay for dinner, but she did not stay. She had to go back to prepare some gifts for her relatives, so she made an appointment with the head of the village in the evening.

At that time, she would not come alone, but the two families would have a meal together.

The head of the village also felt that there was nothing wrong with being more formal, so he let her go.

After she left the village head, she first went back home and then went to Li Laosi's place.

When dealing with Li Dasheng, Li Ruyi was much simpler and more brutal. He appealed to their interests and reasoned with them, and soon Li Laosi and Li Dasheng were completely confused.

The head of the village was similar to her, and his family usually only had two meals a day, and they didn't eat lunch. He happened to go to the home of clan leader Sun to discuss things with his eldest brother.

The two brothers are already among the most powerful people in the power structure of Sanjia Village. Although it is difficult for them to get together to discuss things, they are not talking nonsense.

Only Chief Han, because he had no connections, had to wait until the rumors started to spread before he received the news that Li Ruyi wanted to discuss matters with him.

He was grumbling when he came and looked confused when he left.

Unlike Li Dasheng, Li Laosi and the two brothers of the Sun family, Patriarch Han is a man with some talent.

Others listened to Li Ruyi's words, asked questions and gestured to roughly understand, but he got the idea quickly.

But after he understood it, he became even more confused.

In his heart, Li Ruyi was a little kind, but not much.

After all, he was an invincible figure in the Han family and could even "set up a stick" at the door of his house.

If we were to say who among these people can best see through Li Ruyi's true nature, it must be Patriarch Han.

But he had benefited from it after all, so he kept those complaints to himself for the time being.

But now he has some self-doubt!

He had no idea what Li Ruyi was up to.

Patriarch Han couldn't understand and even began to doubt his own judgment of people.

When he got home and lay down on the kang, he kept scratching his head in annoyance.

Looking at his increasingly thinning hair, his old wife shook her head.

"You! You just think too much!"

Patriarch Han couldn't explain clearly to his family and just sat there angrily.

This made him even angrier than when Han Shian was mad at him.

Han Shian could still go to the yard and scold, but Li Ruyi...

If he went out and scolded Li Ruyi for being mentally ill, saying that he was obviously a selfish person who did these fake things like giving money and food to people every day, he would probably be stoned.

While Chief Han was feeling very frustrated, he realized that the villagers outside were not as rational as he thought.

As Li Ruyi summoned the heads of the three families, the originally scattered rumors were instantly confirmed.

There were different opinions for a while.

Some people say that Li Ruyi wants to share money with everyone.

Some people said that Li Ruyi didn't want to collect their charcoal anymore and wanted to go it alone.

Some people also say that Li Ruyi has made so much money that she has forgotten her roots...

Regardless of whether there are good expectations or not, all the comments are going in a negative direction.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t trust Li Ruyi, but they are used to sticking together in times of crisis.

If you want to make the group tight enough, you always have to exaggerate the negative effects.

Based on the instinct that I couldn't be the only one feeling a sense of crisis and everyone had to be afraid, all kinds of rumors spread more and more fiercely. By the evening, the door of Li Ruyi's house was blocked by people.

If it weren't for the residual power of her cutting someone's tongue, some of the emotional people would have been ready to break in.

The third brother heard the noise, came out with the increasingly plump beans on his head, and quickly climbed onto the roof.

A row of big and small cats followed her. She stretched her neck and stood on tiptoe, looking outside with a serious expression.

Li Shiba, who had come back to recuperate, was extremely envious when he saw her agile movements. He looked up and asked her.

"Mr. Xiaoman, what did you see?"

Xiaoman has a lot of students now. It's a bit nonsense to say that his students are all over the world, but his students are almost everywhere in Sanjia Village.

Those who often come here to exchange food want to join in the fun and ask her for advice.

Because of this, the little girl, who originally could not concentrate on reading or practicing calligraphy, would grit her teeth and pinch her philtrum to write a few big characters every day.

If for no other reason, Mr. Li wants to save face, and Mr. Li wants to save face as well!

As a result, the name "Mr. Xiaoman" became known to everyone.

When Xiaoman heard Li Shiba calling her, she lowered her head to take a look, then immediately looked away.

The crowd outside the gate was already making a lot of noise.

"If you ask me, we should just go in and ask what's going on."

"Oh...you go if you want to go, I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? Li Pandi is a member of our Li family no matter what. How can she eat people?"

"Come on! She's still Li Pandi. She changed her name a long time ago!"

"Alright, alright, who told you about changing your name? We have to get to the bottom of this matter today."

"That's right. They're kicking us out for no reason. How are we going to live in the future?"

"But... this was originally someone else's food..."

"What nonsense! If it weren't for the grain, she would be so arrogant in the village. Oh, now that she's done with her fame, she's starting to take back the benefits. How could such a good thing happen? What does she think of our Sanjia Village?"

"That's right! Daqing was a good man, but she cut off his tongue and didn't even give him an explanation!"

"Oh my god, what a sin!"

"But this isn't much help! We got our food by exchanging it ourselves. How can she be so embarrassed?"

"Yes, yes! My daughter-in-law worked all day long to make those little things, but she took all the things away and didn't even give me an extra two pounds of food."

"So, she didn't help much, and now she wants to abandon us. We can't just let this go!"

"Yes, yes, yes. As long as she lives in the village, she must give more things."

"What are you talking about? There's no food. I heard that the warehouse is full of stuff. I think they just want to eat all by themselves."

"That won't do. We live here with fellow villagers. We have been patrolling and keeping an eye on outsiders for so long. It turns out that she has taken advantage of us..."

"..."

The people outside were saying this and that, trying to convict Li Ruyi.

Xiaoman's anger soared after hearing this. Her sister was clearly doing good things, but not only did she not get any benefits in return, she was even scolded in return!

These people were even more greedy. The price of the barter was already very low. Without mentioning how much money and food her sister had invested, they just talked as if she had given everything.

The more she listened, the angrier she became, and she jumped down from the roof with a plop.

Li Shiba felt a little flustered when he saw her angry look.

"Mr. Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?"

He thought he had asked the wrong question.

As a result, Xiaoman was seen rushing out of the yard with a group of cats and kittens.

As soon as the gate was opened, all the voices outside stopped, except for one big fool who turned around and talked to the people around him.

"Or I can just force myself to marry her. I don't want a woman who is always in the spotlight... Then I'll let her benefit our village... Hehehe..."

Xiaoman had a bad temper to begin with, and this time she was even more irritated.

She screamed and rushed towards the man like a cannonball.

"You dare to insult my sister? I'll beat you to death today!"

No matter how good Xiaoman's martial arts skills are, he has never forgotten the fighting moves he used in the village.

No one can see how stable her lower body is, nor the power and rhythm in her movements.

The laymen in the village could only see that the little girl was swinging her fists to hit a man in his twenties who was in the prime of his life.

Some people followed the crowd and agreed, not because they really wanted to scold Li Ruyi, but just wanted to follow and see what was going on.

Now, when he saw Xiaoman's action, he hurried over to fight.

Apart from anything else, if Li Ruyi's sister really got beaten, there would be no way to get food in the future.

The first lesson Xiaoman learned in martial arts training was concentration.

She had received countless beatings for this, how could she possibly forget it!

At this moment, she was extremely focused.

She has only one target, and that is the man who dares to flirt with her sister!

Xiaoman is no fool, so he naturally knows the principle of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Today, she just needs to beat this guy up in the crowd, and tomorrow, these people blocking the door will have to retreat two miles!

While she was thinking about all these things, Xiaoman kicked away a strong aunt who was trying to pull her, and slapped a thin old man away. She rushed to the man whose smile had not yet disappeared at lightning speed.

She grabbed the man by the dirty, tattered collar and punched him in the face.

The man was so focused on bragging just now that he didn't react at this moment.

Of course, his words cannot be completely considered bragging.

In a group of people, there are always a few ignorant men who think that every woman lives for men. As long as they join forces to suppress the other party and make it impossible for the other party to find a man, they will lower their posture, give up their interests, work like slaves, and marry such ignorant people with a lot of benefits.

He had the same idea, half of it was a joke, but the other half was sincere.

"Oh! This little girl..."

"Pull it open quickly!"

Xiaoman's punches left afterimages. While people around her were talking, she had already thrown punch after punch.

The man was beaten by her without any ability to fight back. He felt his head shaking from side to side and stars appeared in front of his eyes.

The cat that ran out with the others was also frightened by the noisy crowd.

Several other men around the man were frightened by Xiaoman's fierce cry and hid back.

The person being beaten fell to the ground. Xiaoman pinned the person to the ground amidst the flying cat hair and continued beating him. The person's nose was bleeding profusely and his face was covered with blood.

Unfortunately, there were still too many people around, and soon two of them lifted her up.

When Xiaoman was pulled away, she did not forget to kick the man twice in the chest.

She was cursed as she was carried away, kicking her legs in the air as she walked.

"Shameless thing, I let you talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth off today... Let me go! Let me go, I will fight him!"

Xiaoman kicked the air, making a sound of breaking through the air.

"Hey girl! Why are you so angry with him? He only has one son. If he gets into trouble, he can just blackmail your sister."

"That's right. Besides, you are so small, why are you fighting with him?"

The muscles on Xiaoman's arms bulged, making the person who was pulling her feel a little tired.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red. If her master had not forbade her to use internal force when beating ordinary people, she would have broken free and rushed over to beat the man to death by now!

There was a commotion among the crowd.

In this atmosphere, Li Ruyi walked out with a frown.

"What are you guys doing?"

Li Shier and Li Shiba, who was covering his broken bones in his chest, followed behind Li Ruyi.

When the people who saw Li Ruyi coming out to pull the third brother, they hurriedly let him go, fearing that Li Ruyi would misunderstand.

When Li Ruyi was not around, people had all sorts of opinions, but as soon as Li Ruyi came out, everyone's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

"Ruyi, this is not... this is not what I heard... that... I can't speak, so let your aunt talk to you... you say, you say..."

The old man closest to Li Ruyi backed away as he spoke, and pushed out his wife who was watching the fun behind him.

Li Ruyi was not deaf, and she had heard what happened before. However, she did not react much, but just looked at the person who was speaking with a calm attitude.

But for some reason, everyone felt suddenly uneasy when she looked at them, and the scene became eerily quiet.

Only the third brother, the first thing he did after being freed was to go to Li Ruyi to complain.

"Second sister, they scolded you!"

After hearing her words, many people panicked, and some people explained.

"No, no... We just heard that you were going to build a charcoal kiln, so we wanted to ask..."

Li Ruyi seemed very patient, waiting silently for what was to come.

The third brother took advantage of the opportunity and quickly responded.

"No, they just said you were..."

She was very excited, but when you heard her complain, you could tell that others were even more excited than her.

“That’s right…”

"Nothing!"

"Don't listen to the kid's nonsense, we're just here to ask..."

Xiaoman turned back angrily, but the crowd had already come over.

Li Ruyi reached out and pulled her behind him, and at the same time stopped the excitement of others.

"Okay... whatever you want to ask, I'm right here, so I can talk to you all."

Xiaoman still had some of the innocence of a child, and stood behind Li Ruyi unconvinced, but she understood that as long as her second sister spoke, she would have to put her own affairs aside, so she suppressed her anger.

Now that some things have been said, it is easier to continue. An older man stood up from the crowd.

"Ruyi, you were also raised by me, so I'll use my age to ask some questions for everyone. If I'm old and dumb, and I say something unpleasant, you should bear with me."

"It's us. We all just want to make a living. Life is hard..."

As soon as he said this, he was instantly echoed by everyone.

"Yeah yeah!"

"We're not forcing you, it's just that life is hard..."

Li Ruyi looked at everyone and nodded to the old man.

"You are too polite. If you have anything to say, let's just say it directly."

The sky was gradually getting dark, and a bleak wind was blowing. Some people subconsciously gathered their clothes, but had no intention of retreating.

After it became quiet, the old man's voice could be heard from far away.

"Recently, there are rumors that you are going to build a charcoal kiln in the village. Is this true?"
