Good luck every time

Han Shian was very thoughtful.

He felt around his body twice and then remembered that he was carrying a book box. He untied the belt, put down the box, and began to take things out of it.

A big bag of copper coins, something wrapped in paper, some books, and some used pens and ink scraps.

Finally, a rough cut of paper.

"The pen is old and not in good condition, but it's still good for practicing calligraphy. The ink is all broken. I asked the shopkeeper for it when I bought books."

"And I don't have any use for these papers anymore. I won first place in the academy's assessment last year and was awarded better paper. It's not safe to keep these at home. They might get eaten by rats one day."

"Here is 1,100 wen. I exchanged it at the silver shop this morning. I will use the money here to buy food."

"And this! Your plan is good, but it's missing these."

Li Ruyi took the paper bag Han Shian handed to her and opened it without knowing why.

As soon as I opened it, I smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar scent.

She quickly wrapped the paper bag back and spoke as she wrapped it.

"You bought this for me. I'll remember the favor, but I have to pay for it myself."

Han Shian did not refuse, which made Li Ruyi proud.

"it is good."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and expressed his previous frustration.

"I have always believed that you understand me. It is said that people should do what they should do and what they should not do. It is true that I have a bottom line, but it is not as noble as you think."

Li Ruyi looked Han Shian up and down, and always felt that it was a bit funny to see the two little bean sprouts standing together and talking about the topic of human nature.

"Didn't you tell me to let Patriarch Li go?"

Han Shian: ...

His heart choked.

"It's your own decision to let go of someone and not let go of someone. I'm not trying to plead for anyone when I say those words."

"Besides, if you let him go, will he let you go?"

Han Shian is not a fool. Li Ruyi does not hate Patriarch Li. Everything she does has a reason.

If that was her obsession, Han Shian would still try to persuade her, but that was a hurdle she had to cross. It was an objective existence, and there were people who would constantly jump out to trip her up.

Letting go like that is not letting go, that is inviting death.

Li Ruyi had been in a bad mood for the whole day, but suddenly she felt much better.

She stepped back a little and looked at Han Shian with resentment.

"Why do I feel like you're weird?"

Han Shian's calmness was mixed with a hint of anticipation.

"What's weird?"

Li Ruyi smiled brightly.

"I don't know! I just feel weird!"

She was in a better mood, so she gave up testing Han Shian again and dispelled all the bad emotions brought by Han Shian.

"Could it be that you have made a breakthrough in your studies, so you look more elegant?"

Han Shian: ...

He put his hands down, speechless and helpless.

"Okay! I'll put these books here for you. You have to read them every day. I'll check them next time I come back."

Li Ruyi nodded repeatedly.

Then he slapped his forehead.

"Look, I almost forgot to give you the money."

She deducted one or two taels of silver and gave them to Han Shian.

Han Shian took it and stuffed it into his belt.

Li Ruyi asked him how much the package cost. After Han Shian gave a number, he hurriedly counted out the copper coins and gave them to the man.

Han Shian came and left in a hurry and left soon.

Li Ruyi kept asking him to have dinner with her but he refused.

However, the one who was unhappy before he came was Li Ruyi.

After he left, he became the unhappy person.

As soon as he left, Li Ruyi quickly counted out a hundred coins and decided to leave some money for everyone in her family.

I didn't give it to her before because she didn't have it either. Now that she has it, she should share some of it.

But life has to go on, and the remaining money cannot be spent carelessly.

After dividing the money, she sat there imagining the future when she suddenly remembered.

"Why, I didn't even show him the oilcloth bag. What if there were banknotes inside?"

Li Ruyi thought that it would be better not to open the oilcloth bag for the time being and wait until Han Shian came back next time.

She had gotten rid of a worry and was in a very good mood.

When it was almost dark, Granny Ding and the third son came back together with a basket of herbs.

Li Ruyi took it cheerfully, without mentioning anything about her elder sister.

Before dinner, Li Ruyi and the third brother went for another run.

Originally, the eldest sister wanted to cook at home, but Li Ruyi wanted to take her with her.

She couldn't ask Ding Hong to take care of her elder sister because Li Jixiang was not the other party's responsibility.

But she hopes that her elder sister can take care of herself.

At least you need to have a healthy body and the courage to fight against injustice.

The eldest sister was used to being submissive, and although it was very tiring to run along, she did as Li Ruyi asked.

After the run, the three of them were like starving ghosts, eating their meals more frantically than each other.

And so, by the next morning, the number of people running had increased from two to three.

During the days when they were working hard.

Li Er and his men have been stealing food from Patriarch Li's house when it is dark.

They didn't attack any place that was too conspicuous, and they didn't cut in large areas. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice it for a while.

However, these people are quite greedy. After three or four days, they have stolen a lot even with a hoe here and a hammer there. If they continue like this, it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.

That night, Li Shiliu carried out half a bag of wheat ears, and Li Er also carried half a bag and walked back timidly behind him.

"Twenty. We've cut a lot these days. We don't want anyone to notice, right?"

"The clan leader is not easy to mess with."

Li Nian comforted him.

"I have a solution."

Li Shiliu was still worried.

"You said you have a way, but you have to use it! If you delay this any longer, if someone finds out, there won't be any way to make up for it!"

Li Ershi actually wanted to steal some more.

There are not many opportunities like this, and he doesn't have to take any responsibility. There are too many teenage boys in his family, and they are hungry all day long. They only had a full meal in the past few days, and they are afraid that no one will know.

It doesn't feel good to be sneaky.

But being hungry is not a pleasant feeling either.

As if seeing what Li Er was thinking, Li Shiliu sighed and spoke in a low voice.

"I can't control you. I'll tell grandpa about you when I get back."

Li Er finally felt relieved after hearing this.

"Okay, okay! Let's do it tomorrow! Tomorrow..."

When Li Shiliu heard that it would be tomorrow, he asked again to confirm.

"What tomorrow? You want to come and steal tomorrow..."

Li Er was speechless after being asked by him.

"Don't come tomorrow. You have to solve this matter with me tomorrow."

As they discussed tomorrow's affairs, Li Ruyi's plan against Patriarch Li and his thugs also proceeded according to the established trajectory.
