Good luck every time

Li Jixiang intertwined their fingers. She could tell that Li Ruyi was thinking so in her heart, but she also understood that she and Li Ruyi were different.

"Ruyi, I don't have your ability, nor your confidence."

Li Ruyi nodded. This was a problem that Li Jixiang had to face up to. Even in the future, the rumors would be enough for her to bear. After all, Li Ruyi could only help her with a part of it. She had to bear the other part by herself.

"Then it depends on how you decide. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you choose to get married or not. If you get married, you may live a good life in the future, so just keep living like that. If you don't live a good life, I will also advise you to divorce that person."

"If we don't get married, there will only be more gossip around us. We can't ask others for food, clothing, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating, and we don't have to look at other people's faces."

"Just make a decision. I know what kind of person you are. You're having such a hard time right now because you're confused. As long as you make up your mind, you can keep going no matter how difficult this road is!"

Li Ruyi's words seemed to ignite a fire in Li Jixiang's heart, and her trembling and cold hands finally felt a little warm.

The room gradually became quiet, with only the faint sound of burning candles.

Li Jixiang suddenly felt the desire to talk.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to tell Li Ruyi those words that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

"Ruyi...I...I wanted to have a family before!"

Li Ruyi nodded. Li Jixiang has always had the mentality of an ordinary farmer's girl and has never had any rebellious ideas.

But once people have seen freedom, how can they be willing to go back to being slaves?

In this world, when men and women get married, it is based on their parents' orders, the purpose is to continue the family, and to bring good fortune to both families.

Two people who get married are just a knot of interests.

In love, whether you are willing or not is the least important thing!

But life is not that simple.

It is common to encounter trivial things. It is also common for one party to be a hands-off manager while the other party works diligently like an old ox in spring plowing.

Treating each other with respect and treating each other with dignity is already a good state of affairs.

Not to mention the repressed nature, people are roughly stuffed into an absurd shell and transformed into what a family needs, which is the inevitable fate of most women.

You must not be vulgar, you must not be jealous, you must not be disobedient, you must not be lazy, you must not be lazy about grooming, you must not be negligent about housework, you must not be lazy about work, you must not be selfish...

Those unrestrained and romantic attitudes have nothing to do with women.

She lives, but not for herself!

"Supporting a husband and raising children, and taking care of the daily necessities of life... there's nothing wrong with that. Life may be a little harder, but I always think that God won't make things difficult for a silly child!"

"When I was a kid, I had a lot of little sisters who played together. We would always get together and talk about the future."

"Talking about young men from different families, and what kind of husband they should marry if they get married."

"I think he should be more like his father. At least he can have a say in family matters."

"Then I felt that people like my father were not very good. They were too soft."

"I have a little sister who married a man with a very soft temper. She can have a say, but her family is not someone that anyone can have a say in."

"That man always advised her that it's okay for us to suffer a little loss, as a harmonious family is the key to success!"

"Her child came back crying, saying that he was beaten by his uncle's cousin. She was so angry that she quarreled with him, and the two sisters-in-law fought until blood was seen. When the man came back, he only advised her that a harmonious family would bring prosperity..."

"I suddenly don't want to marry someone like this! What a coward!"

"I thought it would be good if I had someone with ideas. At least I wouldn't suffer any loss outside!"

"Ugh……"

Li Jixiang suddenly fell silent.

"I don't think I've been beaten since my mother died!"

Li Ruyi listened in silence.

Granny Ding is the one who hits people the most in the family, but Li Jixiang and A Cai are not her apprentices, so she rarely hits them even if their moves are particularly bad.

Her willow branches would only fall on her own disciples.

Li Jixiang was not wrong to say this.

"sister……"

Li Ruyi didn't know what to say. Li Jixiang's past was like a floating duckweed. The fact that she could say these things was the result of her hard work.

She is reading, thinking, and planning her future.

Li Jixiang took a deep breath.

"Seven or eight out of ten men in the village beat their wives. I didn't think it was wrong before. Every family lived like this. How could they live? Why would I provoke him?"

"But...it turns out that some people beat others, regardless of whether they are right or wrong!"

"Ruyi, I don't quite understand, what's wrong with this world?"

Li Ruyi looked at her elder sister, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"It's not the world that has changed, it's you who has changed!"

Li Jixiang's whole body trembled, and her fingers slowly tightened. When she was about to clench her hands, Li Ruyi suddenly reached out and grasped them.

The warmth from the warm palm continued, and Li Jixiang raised his head along the hand.

"Sister, I still say that everyone has a different way of living!"

This has always been the thought that Li Jixiang has accepted. She always feels that she can live a better life only if she is liked by others, and even this "person" cannot be a woman like her.

He has to be a man, a brave and strong man with his eyes set on the future.

Her purpose is to use all her skills to make the other person's gaze, which is looking into the distance, stay on her.

In this way, she seemed to surpass many women and had value in her existence.

Li Ruyi’s support couldn’t be said to be meaningless, but it always made her feel like something was missing.

At this level, it’s not that Li Jixiang is unwilling to recognize the other party’s abilities.

But it was her tentacles that had been cut off when she was young.

The attitude of his parents, the eyes of the people around him, the flattered Li Zhuzi, and the three sisters who are diligent, hardworking and smart but never noticed...

The idea that women are useless is engraved deep in her soul.

She could not feel the love of a woman, so naturally she would not be happy about it.

She could not use her altruistic qualities to prove her charm, nor could she prove the value of her existence.

Because she knew that Li Ruyi was not doing this for 'her'.

But it was for her sisters, it could be Li Jixiang, it could be Xiaoman, or anyone who was related to Li Ruyi by blood.

Then what is she?

"Ruyi... who am I? How dare I? How can I live my own life..."

Li Jixiang's inferiority complex, like a thorn in his flesh, became more and more serious with the rumors and gossips.

Li Ruyi was not annoyed by her elder sister's stubbornness.

On the contrary, she could feel Li Jixiang's helplessness at the moment.

Li Ruyi was the last straw for the other party.

It was her only possibility to seek help from those around her.

"Sister, you are very important. First of all, you are unique to yourself! Secondly, you know how difficult and hard our journey has been. Why should we care about what others say?"

"Although you and I are women, we also have two eyes and a nose, two hands and a pair of feet, and we need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and live. We are no different from everyone else in this world."

Li Ruyi held her hand tightly, trying to give her some strength.

Li Jixiang was stuck in a dead end, but this was something she had to face!

Li Jixiang remained silent. These words could not solve the confusion in her heart, and naturally could not help her escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Li Ruyi sighed deeply and shook her hand to get her attention back.

"Sister, in this world, there is only one person who will always treat you the same, no matter what you are like, whether you are diligent or lazy, beautiful or ugly, willful or gentle. How can you let her down for someone else?"

Li Jixiang curled his lips and smiled bitterly.

"Don't comfort me, there is no such person!"

Li Ruyi looked at Li Jixiang seriously, forcing Li Jixiang to slowly retract his evasive gaze.

"some!"

There was silence in the room, but Li Ruyi's words seemed to have a new magic that made Li Jixiang believe them for no reason.

She moved her lips and asked softly.

"Who is it?"

"You yourself!"

"You are the only person in this world who will not abandon herself. How could you bear to let her down!?"

Perhaps Li Ruyi was too serious, or perhaps Li Jixiang really needed such affirmation.

Suddenly, a tear fell and landed on the back of the two sisters' entangled hands.

Li Ruyi looked down, and when she looked up again, Li Jixiang's tears could no longer be stopped.

Perhaps she had never thought of putting it away. After such a long period of suffering, it seemed that she had a chance to vent at this moment.

Li Ruyi sat aside, quietly accompanying her until she fell asleep from crying herself tired.

The next day, Li Jixiang woke up in the study.

Li Ruyi and the others had finished their practice and came out of the house. Xiaoman was very happy to see her.

"Big sister, are you awake?! Second sister made today's meal!"

The sunlight outside shone in through the open door, and the tables, chairs and benches seemed to be covered with a layer of furry light.

Li Jixiang's hair was a little messy. She heard someone coming outside. She was working in the yard next to her. It seemed that someone was looking for Li Ruyi. She was talking to someone in the yard...

Everything seems to be the same as usual.

But it seems something is different!

The family got together for dinner, and just as they finished, Acai came.

This child brought her a lot of hope. She was smiling all the time, and her smile was so gentle that even the scars on her face seemed much softer.

The child was very considerate of her. Except for the first few months when Acai was very sleepy, she basically never made any noise. I heard that even the fetal movements were gentle.

A Cai always felt that the child would be a daughter, and she had already started looking for a nice name with good meaning for the child.

As soon as she entered the door, she told Li Ruyi about this matter and wanted Li Ruyi to help her think about it.

However, although Li Ruyi never accepted her fate, she felt that her life was not that good and was not willing to help name the child.

A Cai also wanted to ask Han Shian.

However, Li Ruyi thought about Han Shian's luck and advised A Cai to give up this idea.

In this world, the names given by elders to younger generations still have great significance. Li Ruyi is fine with whatever he wants, but he really doesn't want to bring bad luck to others at such an important moment.

Acai felt a little regretful.

Among the people she knew, Li Ruyi and Han Shian were the most knowledgeable!

Li Ruyi thought about it and decided to ask the village head for her.

Although the head of the village was not very well educated, his children lived the best life in the area.

A Cai thought it was okay and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Li Jixiang listened to the two people talking, looked at Acai's appearance, and then looked at Li Ruyi's appearance.

She felt it was very strange, but couldn't tell what was strange.

She felt that both Acai and Ruyi were different from many women in the village.

But if asked what was different, Li Jixiang couldn't tell.

She just watched silently, enjoying it very much.

It seemed that overnight, she suddenly gained the ability to observe.

Li Ruyi was still very busy today. After chatting with Li Jixiang last night, she had realized that it would definitely not be a good thing for her elder sister to continue staying in Sanjia Village.

The village is too small and there are too many rumors!

She wanted to take her eldest sister away.

And as soon as possible.

Li Ruyi didn't want to find someone to compete with Acai, so she decided to find an opportunity to talk to Acai.

After dinner, Li Jixiang went to work as usual, while Li Ruyi found an excuse to keep Acai.

It was still the study room from last night, and still in the same location, but Li Ruyi and A Cai's mood was different from Li Jixiang's.

The sunlight shone through the wooden windows, and a row of fat cats were lying under the windows, some wagging their tails, and some licking their fur.

The dust was illuminated brightly, scattered throughout the room, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and smoke.

"Sister Acai, I want to ask you what your plans are for the future..."

Acai has been with Li Jixiang all this time, and she knows all of her elder sister's anxieties.

Moreover, Acai couldn't persuade anyone.

Not everyone will meet a Li Shiwu, and she cannot say whether Li Jixiang will be happy or unhappy after marriage.

But she knew that not every girl in the world had a sister like Li Ruyi and a family willing to support her.

Li Jixiang is already much happier than many girls around her.

What she should do is grasp what she can grasp, instead of looking at what others have.

"Are you trying to ask me whether I will continue to take care of the child after it is born, or whether I will continue to come over and take care of things?"

Li Ruyi was not polite either. Since the topic had been brought up, she simply nodded straightforwardly.

"I really want to ask!"

A Cai touched her belly and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"My mother and grandmother both said that when the baby is born, they are willing to help us take care of it. We all think that the baby should be a girl!"

When talking about this, Ah Cai's smile couldn't help but widen.

"I am neither good at literature nor martial arts, and I don't know what I can teach my child. After thinking it over, I think I should let her know that people should be strong!"

"There are too many mountains weighing on her in this world. I can't move them. So I want to give her a straight spine. I think I can't give up this job!"

After saying that, she smiled and looked up at Li Ruyi.

"I know what you're worried about! Don't worry, I'll let you know when I'm about to give birth!"
