Good luck every time

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for two days.

Everyone knows that Li Zhuzi will never come back.

But when it comes to what to do with the patriarch, no one has an idea.

Even if he was sent to the authorities, they would still try to catch the thief and the stolen goods. Li Zhuzi was missing and there was no body. Who would believe him if he just said that it was Patriarch Li who did it?

What else can I do if even sending someone to the authorities is not an option?

Going to the Li family’s doorstep to make trouble every day has no impact on them. They have a lot of land and can hire a few temporary workers to harvest the crops without leaving home. But what do the three sisters of the Li family have?

With no house, no land, no food, and no drink, if we stay here for a few days, our bones will be dried up.

The eldest sister was used to being submissive, and even though Li Zhuzi's disappearance was a big blow to her, she never thought of fighting with Patriarch Li.

I can only lie on the kang alone and feel sad.

Li Ruyi had a lot of things to do and had no time to argue with her, so he asked the third brother to take care of the eldest sister, while she went to catch fish and do work.

In order to eat something good, she even went out and caught a large basin of loaches.

I heard that this thing is very nutritious, so Li Ruyi planned to eat this thing for a few days while he was going to catch fish.

There was not much food left at home, so Li Ruyi had to bring back everything edible and eat it.

The news of Li Zhuzi's disappearance was a hot topic in the village for several days.

Li Ruyi ate loaches and fish at home for several days.

And the opportunity she had been waiting for finally arrived.

That day she was catching loaches in the ditch when Er Gouzi suddenly ran over, gasping for breath.

Li Ruyi saw him like this and asked him with a smile.

"what happened?"

Er Gouzi pounded his chest, let out a breath, and then spoke to Li Ruyi while panting.

"Sister Ruyi, um um... Li Dacheng is back!"

Li Ruyi stood up suddenly, and the loach in his hand instantly jumped out and fell into the ditch, and then burrowed into the mud.

"Is he alone?"

Er Gouzi shook his head.

"No... just like usual... I took him... that vicious woman and the two children."

Li Ruyi raised his eyebrows.

He quickly washed his hands in the ditch and patted Ergouzi on the shoulder.

"I see. By the way, did you see Li Ershi today?"

Ergouzi waved his hands before he could even catch his breath.

"without……"

Li Ruyi was going back to prepare things, and she gave Ergouzi another instruction.

"Good brother! You have helped me a lot! Please help me find out where Li Er is. I have something to ask him."

Ergouzi agreed, and Li Ruyi turned around and ran back. When he saw her running away, Ergouzi finally reacted.

"Sister Ruyi...where should I go to find you later?"

Li Ruyi pointed him in a direction.

"riverside!"

After saying that, Li Ruyi ran away, leaving Ergouzi to catch his breath for a while before going to find Li Er.

Li Ruyi has the leverage over Li Ershi, and that guy is not a good person, so he is the best person to do dirty work!

When she got home, she put on the backpack, took the fish in it, and took all the things she had prepared with her.

First I went to the prepared location to make some arrangements, and then went to the place where I had an appointment with Ergouzi.

Er Gouzi was already waiting for her there. Li Er was not some big shot who rarely went out, so she could just ask around in the places he usually went and find out where he was.

Li Ruyi touched Ergouzi's head and gave him a handful of wild apricots, which Granny Ding brought back from the mountain. They had been kept at home for two days and were ripe and soft.

Ergouzi happily went to share with his friends, while Li Ruyi went straight to where Li Er was.

It was a small forest with a lot of nightshade growing in it, and many children were watching over the seedlings and eating them.

Li Er was lying under a tree to enjoy the cool air, and he was surrounded by his good friends.

Of course, these little friends were beaten quite badly by Granny Ding. Now they saw Li Ruyi stand up and run away.

Some people who value loyalty will even call on people around them.

Li Ruyi saw this and knew that he couldn't catch up, so he just called out the name!

"Li Er! Just stand there!"

Li Er was so frightened that his pupils dilated for a moment, but he did not stop moving and looked at Li Ruyi vigilantly.

"What are you looking for me for?"

He asked with bravado.

Li Ruyi didn't care about his attitude and waved at him.

"come over!"

When the people around saw this, they ran away as fast as they could.

No one would make a fuss because Li Er was Li Ruyi's cousin, and no matter how distantly related they were, they were cousins. Two such people could not marry each other, so there was no possibility of making a fuss.

Moreover, Granny Ding had used some tricks when she beat them up. These people didn't feel anything when they left, but after they went back to sleep, they were in so much pain that their bodies were about to fall apart. At this moment, they had no intention of seeking revenge at all.

Li Er was a little angry when he heard what Li Ruyi said.

"Li Ruyi, don't go too far! I didn't even bother asking you for that fish last time!"

Li Ruyi was thicker-skinned than a city wall when dealing with outsiders, and didn't care at all whether Li Er was happy or not.

"What fish or no fish? I want to tell you something. Don't let me talk nonsense anymore!"

Li Er's nostrils grew bigger with anger as he stuck his neck out, but stopping and not retreating was his last act of stubbornness. He couldn't let it go!

All his brothers have run away by now.

Li Ruyi also noticed his face-saving behavior and simply walked over.

"I have something for you to do!"

Li Er sneered.

"Why should I help you?"

Li Ruyi folded her arms and looked at him.

"If you don't help me, I will tell everyone about your stealing of food!"

When talking about "stealing food", Li Ruyi didn't say anything, and only Li Er who was standing in front of him knew what she said.

Li Er's heart sank in an instant.

He was so scared that his hands were shaking. Although he had guessed that Li Ruyi might use this matter to threaten him, it was not something that had happened after all, so he could always deceive himself.

Li Ruzhi realized that he was scared, so he tried to reason with him in a gentle tone.

"Don't worry! I will only let you do this once. After all, once your family's food is gone, no one will believe me even if I tell others about it!"

Li Er stared at Li Ruyi closely, as if trying to determine whether the matter was true or false.

Li Ruyi shook her head speechlessly.

"No way, are you so timid now? You're getting scared without even asking what's going on?"

Li Er was provoked by Li Ruyi and his brain got hot.

"Then tell me what you think!"

The people in the village are still too naive. They don’t know that just listening to some words means they have joined the gang!

Li Ruyi seemed to be much more straightforward than him. He hooked his finger, asked him to lower his head, and whispered part of his plan in his ear.

Li Er's eyes widened instantly.

"I……"

He wanted to say something, but Li Ruyi made a gesture to keep quiet, which scared him so much that he swallowed the rest of his words.

He looked at Li Ruyi as if he was a madman.

"It's too dangerous to do this! I..."

Li Ruyi's face turned cold instantly.

"There's nothing I can do about it. My brother has been missing for ten days. I have to find out whether he's dead or alive!"
