Good luck every time

Since Li Ruyi said he would not enter the hospital, the task of helping Li Zhuzi up was given to someone else.

The most suitable person is Third Aunt.

She went into the yard to see Li Zhuzi, and also glanced at Li Shuanzi.

However, she just wanted to confirm whether Li Shuanzi was dead or not, and it was impossible for her to reach out to him.

Li Zhuzi was really in great pain from being beaten this time. He was still groaning when the third aunt went to help him.

Seeing the child like this, Third Aunt felt both pity and anger.

"Zhu Zi, move your hands and feet and see if there is anything broken."

Children in the village always fight, and everyone is very experienced in dealing with such things.

Li Zhuzi was panicking, but after hearing what his third aunt said, he followed her instructions. There was nothing wrong with his hands and feet, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Third aunt, my chest hurts."

The third aunt was startled and quickly touched his bones, but found nothing wrong.

"Point out where it hurts."

Li Zhuzi couldn't explain it clearly. Li Ruyi stood outside the fence and guessed that Li Zhuzi might have broken bones.

Children have weak bones, and no matter how hard the thugs try to control them, they will not be unscathed.

The third aunt obviously thought of this, but it was useless to invite a doctor. The arms and legs could be reconnected, but as long as the position of the broken sternum did not change, she could only take care of it and let it heal on its own.

"It's okay. Auntie San will take you back to rest. You will be fine in two days."

Li Zhuzi felt extremely uncomfortable and had no energy at all, but he was much calmer now.

He was dragged and carried into the house by his third aunt. After he walked a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look.

Outside the courtyard, Li Ruyi was also looking at him.

When their eyes met, Li Zhuzi's heart suddenly trembled.

He thought he would see Li Ruyi's furious face.

But it didn't.

Li Ruyi just looked at him quietly, without anger, viciousness, resentment, or disappointment...

There was nothing in her eyes when she looked at Li Zhuzi, so calm as if the two of them were just strangers.

Li Zhuzi didn't understand and looked at her hard. He felt that the present was a little unrealistic, like a dream.

But he couldn't say what the problem was.

Li Ruyi watched him go into the house and waited for a while before the third aunt came out of the house.

Patriarch Li spoke first before Li Ruyi.

"How's the pillar?"

The third aunt looked at Li Ruyi, then at the clan leader, and sighed.

"Everything in the room was gone, even the plank bed was kicked into pieces."

Patriarch Li looked unhappy, which meant that Li Zhuzi was not suitable to live here for the time being.

But he couldn't think of a way to settle down for the time being, so he had to ask his third aunt to help look after him.

"Third girl, you live close to me, so please take care of me these two days! When Zhuzi gets better, we will listen to his thoughts and let him think about the future."

The third aunt showed hesitation on her face.

Now is the time when there is a shortage of food, and she is under a lot of pressure to feed one more person.

Patriarch Li noticed her hesitation and his eyes fell on Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi was standing beside the village head, watching the fun as if nothing had happened!

The clan members are so shameless and yet they say they want to break her legs. It would be strange if she paid any attention to them.

If there is not enough food in Li Zhuzi's field, there is still food in the vegetable garden in the backyard.

If you are extremely hungry, just pull up the cucumber seedlings and eat them. They can last for several meals!

Patriarch Li waited for a while but Li Ruyi didn't speak before he spoke.

"Zhu Zi is not in good health and can't go to the vegetable garden in the backyard. See if you can find any food to cook for him for two days. When I get home, ask Daxing to deliver it."

Only then did the third aunt feel relieved.

But it was obviously too early for her to feel relieved!

After these matters were dealt with, everyone dispersed one after another.

There are so many gossips today that everyone has lost interest in working in the fields and wants to talk to their familiar relatives and friends.

If such a big thing cannot spread to every corner of the village before dark tonight, it will definitely make these people toss and turn.

People gathered in groups of three or four. Some talked about Li Ruyi, some talked about Li Zhuzi, and some talked about the Li clan leader.

There were people who discussed the head of the village in a different way, but most of the comments were positive. Facing those thugs, the head of the village did not retreat at all, and he was considered to have protected the people in the village.

For a time, Li Zheng's reputation improved slightly.

As for why it was only a few, it was mainly because the brother and sister Li Zhuzi and Li Ruyi occupied too many topics, leaving people no time to be distracted.

Most of the people who say something about Li Zhuzi are condemning him.

After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to sell their own sister to a brothel at the age of eight.

With his comparison, many people who previously had a bad reputation were able to make a comeback.

Their unanimous statement is that although I drink, gamble, beat my wife and children and don't work, I didn't sell my daughters and sisters to brothels, which shows that I am still a good person.

As for the victim Li Ruyi, since he was driven out of the Li family by the patriarch Li, his reputation is naturally not very good.

The rest of the people who did not condemn Li Zhuzi are talking about her!

They said she had a bad temper and would have a hard life in the future. They also said she deserved to be sold out because she was disrespectful to her elders and didn't care for her younger brothers.

There are also some die-hard fans of Patriarch Li who unconditionally support him, hate all of Li Ruyi's actions, and use harsh words to express their disapproval.

Most of these were within Li Ruyi's expectations.

She didn't have time to care about what others thought of her, as she was walking with the village chief.

"Uncle, my sisters and I can't go back to the Li family. I want to ask if there are any unowned houses or lands in the village that you can give me some? We have to have a place to stay."

The village head felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"There are several houses, but this location is really remote. It's too dangerous for you three little girls to live there."

There are many old bachelors in the village, and they will not let the sisters go just because Li Ruyi has a bad temper.

Besides, there is Patriarch Li, who is eyeing Li Ruyi and waiting to catch her. Even the head of the village has helped her, so how can he feel at ease letting the three of them live together?

Li Ruyi is very self-aware and aware of his current situation.

"I know. I just want a place to stay and a way out. I will temporarily place my sister and my younger sister in a safe place. As for the future, we have to take it one step at a time."

Li Ruyi was lucky to be reborn, and she didn't dare to hope that it would be two years earlier, which would give her more opportunities to prepare.

Things are happening one after another, and she has no way to control them all. She can only adapt to the situation and make choices that are more beneficial to herself.

"By the way, have you asked your eldest sister about this matter? What would she think if she knew that you were expelled from the clan?"

Li Ruyi was very calm about this.

"I haven't asked. I'll tell her when I get back. If she still insists on going back after hearing what I've said, I won't stop her."

Even though she knew that the clan leader had bad intentions and that Li Zhuzi dared to sell even his own sister, she still wanted to go back, and Li Ruyi had no choice.

However, Li Ruyi felt that her elder sister would not go back.

She is used to accepting everything, and as long as someone makes a decision for her, she will just go along with it.

After hearing what she said, the head of the village was afraid that she would be as cruel as she was to Li Zhuzi, so he hurried to persuade her.

"You have to persuade her well. Now that she has left, she should not go back!"

"Although what you said today was a bit extreme, some of it was not false. I think Zhuzi was indeed instigated by someone. Your eldest sister will be sold in less than two days after she returns."

Li Ruyi smiled immediately.

"Uncle also thinks I'm right, right?"

The head of the village sighed.

"Just make up your mind. There's not much I can do to help you. That's all."

The village head's action today was considered an offense to the Li clan leader. One reason was that he felt that Li Ruyi was indeed pitiful, and the other was that he had accepted money from Li Ruyi in the first place, so he couldn't just ignore it.

But there is a limit to how much he can control, and he doesn't want to get involved in these matters.

In his opinion, all of Li Ruyi's troubles were behind him, and he couldn't do anything about it even if he wanted to.

Li Ruyi was still very grateful after hearing this.

"I'm very grateful for what happened today! Now that things are going well in the waiting area, we can be considered to have stabilized."

The head of the village sighed again. He felt worried when he saw Li Ruyi.

"Don't forget, in addition to the head tax, you will also have to pay five taels of silver as redemption money next year!"

All the previous thoughts might be invalidated. Li Ruyi, who has no house or land, has to support a family of three sisters and earn five or six taels of silver in more than a year.

Not to mention an eleven-year-old girl, this would not be an easy task even for any family with many young and strong people in the village.

Li Ruyi was in a good mood. After getting rid of the Li family, one more shackle was removed from her.

"It's okay. Everything will be fine when the time comes. Don't worry, cousin!"

Li Zheng:......

"You are optimistic."

Li Ruyi's optimism did not infect him at all.

The two said a few more words and then went their separate ways.

Li Ruyi wanted to go back and tell her eldest sister and the third brother about what happened today. After that, she planned to take advantage of the sunny weather in the next few days to go into the mountains.

The memories of her previous life had become much more blurred, but she had a deep impression of the first rain after Sun's death.

Thinking of that rain, her expression was stunned for a moment, and then she quickened her pace and went towards the blind old lady's yard.

Just when she was in a good mood, Third Aunt was in a bad mood.

Li Daxing quickly brought food to San Gu, but only a bowl of corn flour.

From what he said, it will be mixed with the vegetables in the vegetable garden and cooked for two days until it becomes a mushy paste. After two days, the clan leader will come to ask Li Zhuzi what his future plans are. By then, there will be no need for Third Aunt's help!

The third aunt thought of the horrible way Li Zhuzi was beaten, and then looked at the bowl of corn noodles. She felt extremely sad. For the first time, she felt that what Li Ruyi did was right.
