Good luck every time

Li Ruyi raised her eyebrows, but was quite calm.

"Correct!"

The feeling of hearing her admit it in person was completely different from hearing rumors, and everyone's face showed panic that had not been there before.

All the scolding and public opinion are because everyone understands that Li Ruyi really wants to block everyone's way and they can't change anything.

Even if everyone secretly made things difficult for Li Ruyi's charcoal kiln to continue operating, Li Ruyi already had the confidence to leave here.

Apart from venting the anger in their hearts, they will not make their lives any easier.

The old man also became much more panicked, and his back was even more hunched than before.

"Really?"

He didn't believe that Li Ruyi was going to distribute the money to everyone. After all, he had never heard of anyone doing that.

But he also couldn't believe that Li Ruyi was going to block everyone's way of survival.

If Li Ruyi was really such a person, why did he give up his own interests to help the villagers?

The pain of relying on others is always like this, and you will always feel uneasy about being abandoned.

Li Ruyi smiled, nodded, and answered firmly.

"Yes, I am indeed planning to build a charcoal kiln, but this charcoal kiln is not mine, it belongs to our village!"

After the words were spoken, the crowd had different expressions.

Some people are slow to react and always only listen to the first half of a sentence. When they heard that Li Ruyi was going to change the charcoal kiln, they were about to cry and did not hear what Li Ruyi said afterwards at all.

A little light shone through the old man's cloudy eyes. He ignored the muttering behind him and kept asking questions.

"From the village? What does that mean? But the head of the village asked you to help build it?"

Li Ruyi seemed to be stumped by his question and spoke after thinking for a while.

"Not really. I just wanted to build it myself."

The old man started to panic again. Could it be that the village head and Li Ruyi had joined forces?

At this time, someone seemed to react and shouted at Li Ruyi.

"No, no! If you build a charcoal kiln, what will happen to our charcoal?"

Someone took the lead, and voices of agreement instantly rang out from all around.

"Yeah...what about our charcoal?"

"I still have a lot of charcoal stored at home, waiting to be exchanged for food..."

“We can’t do this…”

The old man wanted to ask Li Ruyi something again, but Li Ruyi's patience with him was really exhausted. The old man didn't ask the main point and the more he asked, the more confusing it became.

She turned her head, looked at the crowd and pressed her hand.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Li Ruyi still had some intimidation, and everyone fell silent when they saw that she wanted to explain.

"The charcoal kiln was not built for me, but for our village, that is, for everyone."

"In the future, the profits from the charcoal kiln will be divided into two parts, one for the people who built it, and one for all the men, women and children in the village."

"That's about it. You don't have to worry about what will happen to your charcoal for now. Everything will continue as usual."

Li Ruyi spoke briefly and to the point, explaining the situation that had already been confirmed.

After hearing this, the chaotic discussions started again. Some people had just recovered from the shock of Li Ruyi's plan to build a charcoal kiln, and the scene was a little chaotic.

"This this……"

"What does she mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Are you talking about building a charcoal kiln for the village?"

"What about our charcoal kiln? No matter what? Will the village still accept our charcoal if there are charcoal kilns there?"

"Let's collect it?! Didn't we say everything will remain the same..."

"Then what is she going to do?"

"It seems like they want to share the money with us..."

"How can you give money away for free... Did you hear it wrong..."

"What should we do? Aren't they going to build a charcoal kiln and kick us out?"

"No, no... they just want to share the money with us, men, women, young and old."

"Impossible. It must be given according to the household registration. Besides, there are four sons in my family and five girls in my second brother's family. Can we give the same amount?"

"Who knows? Your second brother's family may give you more!"

"Heh...why don't you ask..."

"Go ask! I won't go!"

"..."

"..."

Li Ruyi sighed. She was clearly standing here, but everyone just wanted to make wild guesses!

Fortunately, someone asked it in the end.

"Ruyi, what is the rule for distributing money among everyone?"

An old lady asked worriedly, fearing that Li Ruyi was deceiving her.

"The charcoal kiln belongs to the village. Part of it goes to those who contributed money and effort to build the charcoal kiln, and the rest is distributed to everyone, based on the number of people. Men, women, young and old all get a share..."

This time everyone finally understood, and everyone became a little enthusiastic.

Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Will I get paid even if I don't work?"

The crowd was bustling.

"What nonsense! How can you get paid without doing any work..."

When Li Ruyi heard this, he agreed immediately.

"Correct!"

Her voice was hidden among many teasing voices, and it was not until the silence fell that someone responded.

After the silence, there is an even more fiery boiling.

"Ruyi, what does this mean? We have all watched you grow up as relatives, and we have never heard of you getting paid without working..."

"Yeah... don't you want to care about us anymore? If so, just tell me... I..."

It seemed like someone wanted to say, "If you don't exchange food for us, please notify us." But unfortunately, before he could say it, he was covered his mouth by the person next to him.

There are some things that cannot be said casually.

Why didn’t Li Ruyi share the food with everyone? We live in the same village, and we can’t let her watch someone die without helping!

Li Ruyi took a deep breath. This was why she would rather communicate with the village head and the various clan leaders than announce the matter to the villagers in person.

Many people in the village have limited knowledge, and once they make up their minds about something, it is difficult for them to change it.

Even if Li Ruyi said that nothing would change and even gave them money for free, these people would still not give in, as if they would not leave until they heard an answer from Li Ruyi that satisfied them.

What can Li Ruyi say! ?

"My fellow countrymen, you all know very well what kind of person I, Li Ruyi, am."

"I have never done anything to hurt you all in all these years."

"Also, I have already told the village head and the three clan leaders about this matter. We are also discussing the subsequent rules. If you have any questions, you can go and ask your clan leaders."

"Whether this is true or not, I don't need to say more."

It was completely dark, and except for pairs of sparkling eyes, everyone's expressions were hidden behind the night.

After hearing what Li Ruyi said, public opinion finally changed direction.

The newly rising Li Ruyi could never compare to the status of the heads of the various families.

Hearing the discussions calm down, Li Ruyi spoke.

"It's too late. Everyone should go back early. It's not too late to talk tomorrow morning."

Many of the doubts in everyone's minds were resolved, but new doubts emerged.

However, they were unable to organize these new doubts into words, so they had to gather in groups of three or four. They wanted to discuss something, but because Li Ruyi was still there, they all kept their mouths shut.

This time, many people finally dispersed.

But there were some who wanted to leave but didn’t want to leave. Some were pulled away, while others stood there and waited until the end.

Among them was the person who was beaten up by Xiaoman.

There were some dried blood on his face, his eyes were wide open, his back was hunched and his chest was sunken, he looked both miserable and funny.

Xiaoman had been waiting for such a long time, and her anger had reached its peak. Seeing that he had not left yet, she wanted to rush out angrily, but was quickly held down by Li Ruyi.

"That... Ru Ru... No... Miss Li, I was beaten by your sister, you have to compensate me..."

Li Ruyi was not someone who was easy to bully. Although she did not let Xiaoman speak, she never asked Xiaoman to admit his mistakes in front of everyone.

compensation!?

I've never heard of anything good happening if you go to someone's house and curse them.

Her entire family must be dead to allow such a person to be so arrogant! ?

Li Ruyi chuckled, and everyone who knew her felt a hint of coldness.

Xiaoman, who was very angry just now, suddenly calmed down a little.

After hearing about the compensation, some people who had not yet left quietly retreated.

There’s no reason not to watch the fun!

Li Ruyi is also an expert at moral blackmail, she said immediately.

"You came to my house to insult me, and it's no big deal that my sister is not convinced! What? You are a grown man, and you want to argue with a child?"

The pressure on some people around them was relieved, and they could now appreciate the embarrassment of others.

Putting that man and Xiaoman together, it really doesn't look like the little girl bullying others.

The man was a little angry at what Li Ruyi said.

"Your sister is a martial artist. Who here can be her match? You guys are not going to cheat me by not paying the compensation! Look, this is all my blood, and... and everyone here has seen it!"

Now that the argument has started, he has become quite eloquent.

Li Ruyi sighed deeply.

"I'm not kidding, but you know we are martial artists. We believe in the principle of blood splattering when a common man is furious. Xiaoman is still young and too reserved!"

"If you ask me, let's end it today! Coming here to insult a woman's reputation is the same as killing her. If that's the case, why don't we just die together!"

She was still confused by the man's previous words, but when she heard the last part, her eyes widened instantly.

WTF?

He just wanted to extort some money, didn't he? How did it escalate to a situation where both sides would perish?

He was still stunned, but Li Ruyi had already taken action.

She pulled out a dagger from her waist, and the sound of the knife clanging immediately drew the man's attention.

However, as soon as he raised his head, Li Ruyi kicked him in the chest.

This kick seemed light, but it sent the man flying backwards more than ten steps.

The man lost control of his body and fell to the ground, but Li Ruyi's blade, with an imposing pressure that could not be ignored, flashed coldly in the night, and stabbed directly at his forehead.

At that moment, the man seemed to suddenly see Li Ruyi's expression clearly.

A pair of extremely cold eyes that showed indifference to life fell into the man's eyes through the night.

He was so scared that he wanted to scream, but like a frightened chicken, he couldn't make any sound. His whole body was terribly cold, with only one warm spot spreading.

The cold blade pierced the skin between his eyebrows, but then stopped steadily.

Li Ruyi frowned.

"Are you scared? You're so brave that you dare to follow others to extort money?"

The dagger was retracted and a drop of blood appeared.

Li Ruyi kicked the man and knocked him backward, his tone full of disgust.

"Get out of here now! Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

After falling to the ground again, the man finally reacted. He quickly turned over and stood up, running away quickly with stiff arms and legs.

At this moment, he no longer felt the anger of being beaten, but only the joy of surviving the disaster.

Li Ruyi raised his hand, clamped his arm, and smoothly wiped the red stain on the tip of the dagger onto his arm.

She took back the dagger, turned around and went home gracefully.

At this moment, all those who wanted to ask something before were scared and ran away.

Yes, yes!

This is Li Ruyi who has killed people. They are really too arrogant!

After closing the door, Xiaoman's eyes sparkled.

"Sister, you were so awesome just now!"

Li Ruyi touched her head.

"Don't be so childish."

Li Twelve and Li Eighteen also came over at this time.

"Ruyi, next time you don't have to deal with people like this, leave it to us, so as not to dirty your hands!"

Li Shier took a tour around the city and became much sweeter.

Li Shiba was still holding his chest and walking slowly.

Li Ruyi is much kinder to his own people.

"Okay! Let's go eat and see what Brother Nineteen has done..."

Li Shijiu has recently shown a tendency to take over the kitchen. Besides working, he also cooks meals.

Xiaoman was chattering around Li Ruyi.

"Sister, you believe me, don't you?"

Li Ruyi nodded.

"Of course I believe you!"

Xiaoman was very satisfied.

There is no need for absolute justice between family members, but there is absolute trust.

"I know my second sister is the best!"

Li Ruyi walked in with the little girl in his arms and said something to Xiaoman.

"Second sister also thinks the third one is the best!"

Xiaoman felt very comfortable having his hair stroked and laughed.

After dinner, everyone went home. Li Ruyi had had little rest during this period, but there were still many things to deal with, so he went to the study, lit a lamp and worked hard.

The eldest sister wanted to stay with them, but Li Ruyi called Xiaoman over and pulled her back.

This is not a big deal. Why bother getting so many people involved?

Li Ruyi was busy for a while, and the door of the study was pushed open a little bit.

Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw the third brother looking inside timidly.

"What? Is the elder sister asleep?"

The third brother saw that Li Ruyi still had time to chat with him, so he ran in happily.

She closed the door and happily sat down on the chair next to Li Ruyi.

"My elder sister is asleep!"

Seeing her like this, Li Ruzhi also put down his pen. The candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of the two sisters on the wall.

"Why aren't you sleeping? You have to get up and practice tomorrow morning!"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes. The little girl had an oval face with a bit of baby fat, and a pair of big round and bright eyes, which made her look smart and lovable.

"Second sister, I just don't understand. You said the villagers haven't been very good to us, so why should we give them money to build a charcoal kiln?"

Xiaoman really couldn't figure out this problem.

When Li Ruyi was scolded, she felt a ball of anger in her heart. She always felt that such fools should be left to their own fate, and why did she need her sister to rescue them.
