Good luck every time

When she returned home at night, the eldest sister was completely exhausted. It seemed as if all her strength was squeezed out of her by overdrawing her life.

The third child was also busy at home all day, cooking and feeding the sheep.

When the eldest sister came back, she couldn't eat a single bite of food. She lay on the kang, not knowing what she was thinking about.

It was already dark, but many villagers still came to the door.

Li Ruyi knew what these people wanted to see. It was nothing more than to see how they collapsed at the moment and to comfort them with a few words to show their kindness.

Only a few people came to see them with a little something.

Most people came to inquire about the whole story of Li Zhuzi's disappearance.

When asked when she knew about this, Li Ruyi would say that on the day after Li Zhuzi didn't come back, she was going to deliver fish to Third Aunt and happened to meet Third Aunt who was coming back from looking for Patriarch Li.

Speaking of the fish, Li Ruyi felt a little sad.

She has been consuming a lot recently, gets hungry very quickly, and always wants to eat meat.

When the eldest sister heard this, she asked her why she didn't go to find her brother at that time.

Li Ruyi began to wipe her tears, saying that the clan leader asked them to wait until Li Shuanzi came back, and they have been waiting until now...

Some people didn't believe it and thought she didn't care much about Li Zhuzi.

But many people still believed it, because Li Jixiang's performance today made it hard to doubt.

I heard that the eldest sister couldn’t even eat, and many elders went to comfort her.

But the eldest sister doesn’t want to listen to this nonsense now. If she can’t see Li Zhuzi coming back, she hopes she can stay quiet for a while.

No one felt neglected. After watching a good show, they left in groups of three or five.

After the onlookers dispersed, all that was left was a mess and the desolation after the carnival.

Li Ruyi packed up her things and went back to her room to sleep.

As soon as she lay down, her elder sister suddenly asked her.

"Ruyi, am I useless?"

Li Ruyi looked at her hugging his shoulders, looking haggard and thin.

"Big sister, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just felt that if you knew it, it would just add another person who was worried. I can't do it, and neither can you. We are the same!"

A tear rolled down the eldest sister's face. It was midsummer, but she felt very cold.

"When you said you wanted to be the head of the family, I just thought I was a person without any ideas, so I should listen to you."

"But now it seems that you must have known about the clan leader's intentions for us a long time ago, and you never told me because I never believed you."

"Ruyi, I'm sorry! I'm sorry... I shouldn't have doubted you, I shouldn't have doubted you..."

Li Ruyi stood on the ground, listening to her elder sister's despair, a trace of guilt flashed through her heart.

She climbed onto the kang and hugged her elder sister just as her elder sister had hugged her that night.

"I am sorry for this matter. I haven't told you anything, and I don't know if the path I chose for you is what you like!? I hope you won't blame me in the future."

The eldest sister hugged her tightly and shook her head.

"It's my fault for not being a good sister. It's me who put the responsibility on your shoulders."

"I should have thought of it when you couldn't sleep that night, but I didn't even ask you what was on your mind... It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Li Ruyi was stunned. She opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

All the sadness and guilt in her heart suddenly disappeared.

There seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between her and Li Jixiang.

It seems that the two sisters' thoughts are always out of sync.

Li Jixiang's sadness and Li Ruyi's guilt were never on the same level.

Li Ruyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

She hugged her elder sister's thin body tightly.

"Sister, I like it this way. I like the freedom of being able to choose. I don't feel tired."

"Zhu Zi is just like me. He also made his own choice."

"I know that Patriarch Li is not a good person, but it is difficult for us to survive. We can only take care of ourselves."

After the eldest sister left Sun, she seemed to become more and more sensitive. She broke free from Li Ruyi's arms and asked Li Ruyi in disbelief.

"Ruyi, what do you mean? You think the pillar can't be found?"

The eldest sister's voice was very soft and trembling uncontrollably.

Li Ruyi felt that it was a bit cruel, but some things were better to be made clear as early as possible.

"I don't know, but if I were to do this, I would definitely make sure it was foolproof. As long as he doesn't come back, no one would be able to tell anything."

The eldest sister was so shocked that she didn't hear the cold meaning in Li Ruyi's words at all. She felt as if her whole body was suddenly drained away and she didn't even have the strength to breathe.

Li Ruyi, who was lying next to her, was lying there stiffly like her.

Li Ruyi also seemed to be waiting for a result.

A result of self-judgment.

She is obviously also a victim, but she always has to endure more than the perpetrators.

Even resistance is brutal and will result in both parties being destroyed.

The third sister lying on the side seemed to feel the awkward atmosphere between her two sisters. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Li Ruyi's clothes.

That little bit of pull pulled Li Ruyi out of a certain state.

The third child didn’t understand so much, she sighed and asked in a low voice.

"I... I don't like Zhuzi. I like the life we ​​have now. We can all have enough food to eat, no one scolds us, we can study, and we can eat meat... Why? Why must Li Zhuzi come back?"

Her voice was not loud, but the room was too quiet, and Li Jixiang and Li Ruyi heard everything she said clearly.

The eldest sister closed her eyes instantly, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she turned over to face the wall.

Li Ruyi took a deep breath, and her body slowly relaxed. She suddenly felt that there was no need to worry about right or wrong. Just look at what choice she would make if the matter happened again, and she should understand what she should give up!

She exhaled, and her whole body relaxed!

However, she was relieved, but her elder sister was not.

Li Ruyi was awakened in the middle of the night by the heat around her.

She sat up and touched her elder sister's forehead and found that Li Jixiang had a high fever.

Fortunately, when Li Ruyi was sick last time, Han Shian sent a lot of medicine, including some for reducing fever. Li Ruyi quickly found the clay stove used to decoct the medicine last time, and yawned while decocting the medicine.

When Granny Ding heard the noise, she stood up and checked Li Jixiang, let a few drops of her blood flow, and Li Ruyi poured the medicine into her mouth again.

After dawn the next day, my eldest sister's fever subsided, but her spirit was still weakened.

But the villagers didn't care how anxious and upset they were now, and those who didn't come last night came again today.

Smelling the odor of medicine all over the room, and looking at Li Jixiang who had lost weight overnight and whose eyes were sunken, he felt very satisfied.

There is more material to discuss during this period!

Although Li Ruyi had tried her best to keep people out, their constant gossip still made her elder sister physically and mentally exhausted.
