Good luck every time

When I returned to the blind old lady's yard, I saw the door was open and my eldest sister was standing at the door looking out. She was relieved to see Li Ruyi finally coming back.

Li Ruyi looked at her with a smile. She took off the backpack and was about to put it at the gate of the yard when she suddenly remembered the ring-handled sword. She had to carry the backpack back into the house.

The third brother and the blind old lady were both sitting in the house, but the blind old lady was sitting in the kitchen at the entrance, only three or five steps away from the eldest sister.

If the eldest sister wants to run away, she can catch her back at the first opportunity.

As soon as Li Ruyi came in, he greeted her first.

"Master, I'm back!"

The blind old lady said nothing, and as usual, she didn't want to pay any attention to her.

The eldest sister who was chasing after Li Ruyi asked anxiously.

"You're back? How's everything?"

Li Ruyi did not hide anything and briefly explained the matter. It was always better to hear these words from her mouth than from others.

"Li Zhuzi asked the thugs from the casino to arrest me. I told them that the contract of sale was fake, but they didn't care. The village head protected me and didn't let them arrest me."

The eldest sister gasped. She didn't expect that what Li Ruyi said was actually true.

However, she obviously thought the matter was too simple and just listened to Li Ruyi continue talking.

"Later, Chief Li came and wanted me to pay five taels of silver to help Li Zhuzi settle the matter. Of course, I disagreed."

"He didn't do this to get me to help Li Zhuzi. He just wanted to make it difficult for us to survive."

"I heard a long time ago that his wife, Li Dacheng, has a younger brother who was in his thirties and beat his wife to death. He couldn't find a wife in his own village, so he wanted to marry you to him as a favor."

The eldest sister couldn't process such explosive news and stared at Li Ruyi in a daze.

After a moment, she spoke hesitantly.

"This is impossible!"

Li Ruyi immediately asked her back.

"Why not? We are three orphans, and my brother wants to sell us off. Who would respect us?"

"There is no love or hate without reason in this world. Even our biological parents don't love us, so why would a clan leader who has nothing to do with us love us?"

The eldest sister wanted to refute, she was unwilling to pull herself out of her own world.

Li Ruyi didn't force it and just continued speaking.

"I refused to comply with their wishes, so the clan leader wanted to expel me from the clan, and I have already agreed!"

When the eldest sister heard this, she felt like the sky was falling.

What a great sin it is to exterminate a clan!

This may be the biggest stain in her life.

Li Ruyi could understand but could not agree with it, so she added another sentence.

“I think life is more important.”

"Others look down on us, thinking that we are just girls who can be treated as they please, and can be bought and sold at will with a reason!"

"But we can't look down on ourselves. We have to show the world that even if a woman has no father, brothers, or clan, she can still live well."

Li Ruyi, who was penniless, dared not make too many promises except to survive.

She knew that her elder sister didn't care about these things.

The eldest sister was in tears. She was not afraid of hardship, but she did not have the courage to fight against this world.

"Pan'er..."

When Li Ruyi heard her speak, he walked over, hugged her, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Big sister, my name is Ruyi. Your name is Jixiang, and the third one is Meiman. We are free now!"

Without younger brothers or clans, they can work towards any goal they want.

Li Ruyi's words made the eldest sister's tears flow even more violently, and she hugged Li Ruyi and cried.

While Li Ruyi was celebrating her freedom, she was also saddened by her miserable life.

She didn't want to resist anything, she just wanted to grow up step by step according to the secular perspective, get married, have children, raise them, and then watch her children have children...

But why can't such a simple wish come true?

Li Ruyi hugged her tightly and patted her back comfortingly.

Seeing the eldest sister crying so miserably, the third sister also ran over. She hugged her two sisters and started crying.

Li Ruyi took the time to look at her and asked her with his eyes, why was she crying?

The third sister wiped her tears and looked at Li Ruyi in a daze. She didn’t know what to do, she just wanted to cry.

The blind old lady sat on a small stool with a frown on her face. She thought the three children were too noisy!

In the low house, the four people had completely different thoughts. Only the sunlight was moving along its own path calmly and peacefully as usual, slowly and firmly.

Just as Li Ruyi thought, the eldest sister had never thought about returning to the clan.

She didn't even realize she could go back.

For her, the established facts cannot be reversed, and she can only go down this path.

After the eldest sister had cried enough, Li Ruyi assigned her another job and asked her to tidy up the garden in the backyard.

The old lady's eyesight is not very good, and her martial arts skills are still there, but she is really not good at growing vegetables. Li Ruyi plans to ask someone for some cabbage seeds so as not to waste the land. He also wants his elder sister to have something to do these days so that she won't run around and think about other things.

The third child followed the eldest sister obediently, leaving Li Ruyi and the blind old lady alone in the room.

"Master, is it convenient for us to stay here for a few days? It's not for nothing. We can cook for you temporarily. When I make money in a few days, I can also give you money."

"I have agreed with the head of the village that we need a piece of land. Once we have settled the people there, we will move out. Is that okay?"

The blind old lady didn't want to talk, and after a moment's silence she spoke.

"Fine!"

Li Ruyi became happy instantly.

"I knew you were the best, Master! By the way, Master, I'm going to go into the mountains tomorrow to find something to sell. When I come back, can you teach me martial arts?"

The blind old lady raised her cloudy eyes and glanced at Li Ruyi. The expression on her face seemed to say, are you going to plot against me again?

Li Ruyi saw it but didn't say anything, just laughed foolishly.

The blind old lady agreed after a while.

"Okay, be careful when you go into the mountains."

Li Ruyi wants to go further this time.

Everything near the village had already been captured, so she wanted to go deeper.

In her previous life, she would go into the mountains to look for something every year during the lean season.

However, she didn't find much, just some mushrooms, fruits, or medicinal herbs.

She might even dig out some snake gall, but she didn't dare to provoke any larger wild animals. After entering the jungle, she was actually not much stronger than goats or wild deer, and she couldn't even run as fast as those animals.

Hunting is not something that everyone can do.

If it were that easy, hunters would have become rich long ago.

Li Ruyi was not greedy. She only needed one or two hundred coins to temporarily tide over the difficulties.

The old lady also has hunting supplies, and they are even better than those made by Li Ruyi, who has normal vision.

Li Ruyi searched around and found a rope, a small knife, a fire starter and other things, and planned to take them up the mountain tomorrow.

He had begged for everything he should have, and it would be rude to start being reserved now. Li Ruyi shamelessly used the old lady's things as if they were his own and just gave her notice before taking them away.

When everything was almost ready, Li Ruyi quietly went out without being noticed. She ran to her third aunt's house and asked for a bag of cabbage seeds.

It’s not too late to plant cabbage now, and it will be sweetest if you harvest it after the frost.

At night, when everyone sat together and ate pancakes, Li Ruyi told her eldest sister that she was going into the mountains. Her elder sister was a little worried, but she was penniless and couldn't just sit and wait to die, so she agreed.

She also wanted to follow, but Li Ruyi disagreed. She said her elder sister didn't know the situation in the mountains, so it would be inconvenient for her to follow.

Besides, she has already taken the cabbage seeds back, so why is she leaving? Go plant some cabbage!
