Good luck every time

How could Sun Sisao not mind? She was so happy!

Only Patriarch Li would mind.

The ox cart was not moving very fast, and in the early morning dew, when the group arrived at the county, the city gate had just opened.

People from the surrounding villages could enter the city gate with their household stickers and encountered no difficulties.

As soon as she entered the city, Li Ruyi walked towards the county government office, and Sun Sisao followed her.

However, after the three of them walked out a few steps, they saw the car turn in the opposite direction of them.

Sun Sisao and Li Jixiang, who was unaware of the situation, looked at each other.

Li Ruyi seemed to react faster and quickly pulled them to catch up with Patriarch Li and his entourage.

Seeing them catching up again, Patriarch Li didn't say anything, and everyone walked in silence.

The county town is square, and casinos are all concentrated in a corner in the south of the city.

In Li Ruyi's previous life, he mostly went to the market when he came to the county and rarely came here. This was the first time he came here in two lifetimes.

Most of the roads in the county are dirt roads, and only near the casino are there stone roads.

The ox cart rumbled up the stone road, passed a two-story restaurant, and finally stopped at the door of the gambling house next to the restaurant.

The gambling house is called Fugui Gambling House.

The tall house, the thick wooden door, the beautiful red brick walls and the high threshold made it look several times more imposing than Patriarch Li’s house. No other house in the village could compare to it.

Li Ruyi looked at the old plaque on the wall and thought to himself, he didn't know whether the people who came here to gamble were rich, but the owner of this gambling house must be rich!

There is a curfew in Da Qi, and the market is open from the end of Yinshi to the beginning of Maoshi. It is okay to open too late, but it cannot be too early.

The gambling house had just opened at this moment.

However, the opening here is different from other places.

Other places are just opening their doors to welcome guests.

But as soon as the gambling house opened its doors, a wave of gamblers who had not returned home last night came out.

Some of the people in the group had lost so much money that they couldn't even get their clothes back on, but they were still hanging out with the thugs who were watching over the gambling house.

Some people came out from here and went to the restaurant next door.

The sound of calling the waiter to get some wine could be heard from far away. Li Jixiang looked at these people with some horror and tried to pull Li Ruyi away.

"Ruyi, why are we here?"

Li Ruyi looked at Patriarch Li who was sitting in the car, and spoke to Li Jixiang in a low voice.

"I don't know, maybe there will be news about Li Zhuzi here."

When Li Jixiang heard the news about Li Zhuzi, she became a little nervous. She shrank her body again. She was already thin to begin with, and now she looked like a stick after shrinking like this.

Mrs. Sun stood beside her sisters, looking around, as if digging up gossip around her.

Little did she know that she had also become the target of gossip at this time.

Someone passing by showed a look of disgust when he saw her patched clothes, slightly messy hair and dirty nails.

However, Fourth Lady Sun was completely blinded by the sight. After looking around, her gaze returned to the door of the gambling house.

She poked Li Ruyi.

"Ruyi, do you know where this place is?"

Mrs. Sun was illiterate. When she saw the copper coins painted on the gambling house's signboard, she nudged Li Ruyi with her elbow, as if she wanted to share some gossip with her.

Li Ruyi hesitated.

"This is a gambling house."

Mrs. Sun didn't expect that Li Ruyi would recognize her so immediately, leaving her no chance to show off her talent.

She also wanted to tell some gossip related to the gambling house!

However, Li Ruyi could not satisfy her, but Li Jixiang could. She was stunned for a moment and immediately went to ask Li Ruyi.

"Gambling house? Why did you come to the gambling house? Is it because of those thugs who came last time?"

Realizing that Li Jixiang knew nothing, Sun Sisao became interested. She quickly pulled her over, pressed her head down, and put her mouth close to her ear to talk to her.

While the two of them were whispering, the person who was leaving had already left.

The gambling house was a bit deserted at the moment. Apart from a few people lying on the side and sleeping, there were only three or two tables full of people.

Only then did Patriarch Li give Li Daxing a wink.

Li Daxing walked forward somewhat awkwardly and spoke to the man who was looking at them at the door.

"Brother, I want to ask you something. Is there a man here who is this tall, quite strong, who usually wears a gray cloth shirt with patches here and there, and has pockmarks on his face?"

Looking at Li Daxing measuring his height and listening to his description.

The man soon knew who he was talking about.

"Ah! That's my second brother you're talking about! What do you want?"

Although Li Daxing came to ask for someone, he was more worried about the safety of his children at home. He did not act too forcefully and asked in a tactful manner.

"Is he here?"

After looking at Li Daxing, the man looked at the group of people behind Li Daxing.

The streets here aren't very wide, so it's a bit of a nuisance to have so many people blocking the way.

He frowned and looked unhappy.

"Just answer the questions you are asked! Don't block the door and delay our business!"

Li Daxing hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Patriarch Li.

It's not easy to tell people about this kind of thing. What if the child hasn't been sent away yet, and the person hears that they are here to take the child, and turns around and runs away with the child?

He took a deep breath and thought for a while before speaking.

"I'm not trying to embarrass you. You may not be aware of what happened between him and me. Please help us. We would like to have a face-to-face meeting with him."

The man frowned and waited for a while. He and Li Daxing were both silent. He found that Li Daxing's favor was only lip service, and he became even more impatient!

"There's a hitching post over there! Whatever you guys want, pull your car over there and don't block the road at the door!"

Li Daxing nodded and agreed.

"Okay, okay! Um..."

The thug waved his hands unhappily, and his younger brothers immediately came over to him.

"Fourth brother?"

"Well! Go and call my second brother over. He said someone is looking for someone."

The younger brother agreed and left.

Li Daxing didn't move, just waited at the door, which annoyed the people blocking the door!

"I've already called you, why don't you go and park the car!"

Li Daxing was startled by his roar.

The man, who was already shrinking, suddenly became two inches shorter.

Mrs. Sun stretched her neck to watch his fun and curled her lips.

If there weren't so many people around, she might have even made a few clicking sounds.

Look how arrogant he is in the village on weekdays. He even searched other people’s houses yesterday!

Now that I'm here, I can't help but shudder at the sound of his voice!

Li Ruyi's attention was focused on the casino and she didn't notice Fourth Lady Sun's disgust.

Soon, the sleepy man was called out. When he saw the people from Sanjia Village at the door, he was stunned at first, but when he saw Li Ruyi in the crowd, he subconsciously took a step back.

Li Ruyi hugged his shoulders with a sullen face. He clearly had the face of a child who had not yet grown up, but a single look from him was enough to scare the thug boss out of his wits.

He had met many people in the gambling house and knew very well how vicious people like Li Ruyi were.

Li Daxing saw him and turned to look at Patriarch Li.

Patriarch Li did not get out of the car, but just waited there.

Li Daxing could only speak up.

"Brother, we have no grudges in the past or today. If you were to ask in detail, you stole our food. It doesn't make sense for you to take my child away!"

"We all know what happened a few days ago. If you hand over the child, we can write off all our past grudges and pretend that they never happened! Is that okay with you?"

Mrs. Sun narrowed her eyes, stretched her neck towards the entrance of the gambling house, and asked Li Ruyi after a while.

"What are they talking about? So quietly?"

Li Ruyi had a gloomy face and looked over there with a sinister look, without answering Sun Sisao's question.
