Chapter 196 Care?

Chu Xuan didn't want this matter to affect the harmony of the Mu family.

In her previous life, her sister-in-law never cared about anything with her.

In this life, are you starting to care about things before you even get married?

Suddenly she realized that she and Mu Chenze got married earlier in her previous life than in this life. At that time, she was too lazy to even hear where the secret place for sea fishing was. Later, Mu Chenze directly told his sister-in-law the location.

In those years, it was always my sister-in-law who went to the secret fishing spot to pick up the catch.

Could it be that in her previous life, her sister-in-law ignored her and offered her a helping hand when she needed help because of the fish she caught at sea?

In this life, the sister-in-law has never owed such a big favor to her and Mu Chenze, so naturally she will care about some things.

Should I tell my sister-in-law the location?

Walking to the gate of his yard, Chu Feng opened the door with the key.

Chu Xuan pulled Mu Chenze under a nearby tree and whispered, "Do you want to tell your sister-in-law about the secret spot for fishing? We can make money together as a family, okay?"

Mu Chenze sighed softly, "You're really stupid, even if I say you're stupid. My sister-in-law is fussing with you about this, and you're still rushing to give her money? There's only so much fish in those dozen tide pools over there. One more person will take away half the money."

Chu Xuan certainly couldn't say that she owed her elder brother and sister-in-law too much in her past life, so she made up an excuse, "Isn't this for elder brother's sake? From childhood to adulthood, elder brother has been very good to you, there's nothing to say about it, right?"

"That's true. Let's wait until we get our marriage certificate before we talk about it. Then consider it as a gift from you to your sister-in-law. With this gift, your sister-in-law will definitely be more respectful to you in the future. However, who can guarantee that your sister-in-law will keep it a secret? What if she tells her family?"

"I can promise. Sister-in-law will definitely keep it a secret."

In her previous life, my sister-in-law never told anyone. Every time she went to the sea to catch fish, she would sell them together with the ones caught by the family's fishing boat, and no one else ever suspected it.

After selling the fish and returning home, my father-in-law would calculate my sister-in-law’s income separately.

In this life, with Chu Xuan's guarantee, and Mu Chenze also wanting to use this matter to save face for her, he finally decided to tell his sister-in-law the secret location of the sea after getting the marriage certificate.

When Mu Chenze returned home, Mu Chenfu was just walking out of his parents' bedroom.

Seeing the smile on my eldest brother's face, I immediately guessed that my mother did not mention the matter of my eldest sister-in-law asking for the five thousand yuan in front of my eldest brother.

The sister-in-law, who had just finished working in the kitchen, didn't notice it and looked at her brother nervously.

Mu Chenze said hello to them and returned to his bedroom.

Mu Chenfu was a little tired and didn't notice his wife's abnormality. "Wife, can you help me get some water to wash my feet? I want to soak my feet and go to bed early."

"good."

After a while, Fu Qing returned to the bedroom trembling with fear, carrying the foot washing water.

"Chenfu, what did our mother talk to you about?"

Mu Chenfu took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet. "It's just about how many tables to set up for Chenze's engagement, how much candy to prepare, how much money to prepare for spending, etc., and asked me to run more errands."

Fu Qing muttered quietly, "Why didn't Mom call me to discuss this matter with you?"

"Weren't you cleaning the kitchen just now? Discussing with me means discussing it with both of us, right? Aren't I talking to you right now?"

"Then go on."

"My mother means the same as our engagement. The betrothal gift is the same, 1,000 yuan."

"My mother didn't say I was incompetent, did she?"

"No. Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Facing the doubt in her husband's eyes, Fu Qing could only make up an excuse, "I'm just thinking about how I didn't bring much dowry when I married you, and I feel bad. Look at Xiaoxuan, she brought a dowry boat, how impressive."

Mu Chenfu kindly consoled her, "I'm after you as a person, not your dowry."

"Now everyone in the village is saying that Chen Ze is a gigolo, and that Xiao Xuan is stupid for bringing so much dowry to her in-laws' house. She shouldn't have left some for her brother."

"Why should I care what the villagers say? In my opinion, Xiao Xuan is not stupid. She doesn't do anything on a whim, but has her own plans. Now that she has a dowry boat, she can make money in the future. Who knows, she might even be able to earn several or even dozens of motor fishing boats. Then, won't she be able to subsidize her brother?"

"She brought the fishing boat to our house, so the money she earned shouldn't be confiscated?"

"Why confiscate it? She bought the boat with her own money. The future income will naturally belong to her."

Fu Qing patted his forehead and said, "Why did I just figure it out? Go talk to our mother and talk to her about investing in Xiaoxuan's fishing boat. We can share the profits in the future. Xiaoxuan has always had good fortune. We can definitely benefit from it."

He had no recollection of being furious when he heard Xun Ren say that Qin Mahua gave Chu Xuan more betrothal gifts.

Mu Chenfu glared at her angrily. "Your sister-in-law hasn't even entered the house yet, and you're already thinking about taking her dowry boat? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you if it gets out? Just now you were saying that the villagers are saying that Chenze is a gigolo. I think you want the whole village to know that we're all gigolos together."

Fu Qing was speechless.

He planned to wait for Chu Xuan to come into his house, get along well with her, and try to buy shares in her fishing boat.

After about ten minutes, she and her husband lay down.

After a while, the husband's snoring sounded.

But she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

I want to earn more money, get a job in the city, buy a house, and then have children so that they can enjoy a better education.

These were suggested to her by a good friend who married and moved to the city.

Now she doesn't dare discuss these things with her in-laws because she knows they don't have enough money to support her in getting a job and buying a house.

In addition to using the money from my husband's family to marry Chen Ze, the remaining money, plus future earnings, will be saved to buy a bigger and better fishing boat...

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the 8th.

Chu Xuan hadn't received a call from her biological mother and was a little anxious.

I went to the village office several times in the past two days.

The people in the village office repeatedly assured her that as soon as they received a call from Tian Xiaoyun, they would use a loudspeaker to call her over to answer the phone.

You can go to the village office or the guard room of the grilled fish fillet factory to answer the phone.

There is an extension in the guard room.

Wang Depin was inspired by Chu Xuan to install this extension. He asked the staff at the telephone company and asked a professional to come and install it.

The reason Chu Xuan was not allowed to install it at first was because he couldn't solve the noise problem of the extension.

Chu Xuan thanked the people from the village office, went home, picked up a bucket, and went to the stream to fetch water.

When I reached the stream, I suddenly saw a short man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle appearance standing on a rock.

Chu Xuan estimated that the man was shorter than her, about 165cm tall.

She had never seen this person before.

Not in both lifetimes.

However, although the man was short, he exuded a gentle and elegant temperament and looked to be in his forties.

Chu Xuan nodded politely at him and started to get water.

After getting the water, I prepared to carry it home.

A man's voice rang out, "Excuse me, young lady, are the tractors in your village available for rent?"

Chu Xuan felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. Why did it sound so much like Uncle Wu's accent? But it also seemed a little different.

If this person is Uncle Wu, shouldn't he be with her mother Tian Xiaoyun?

I looked around and didn't see anyone else.

So I politely responded, "You have to ask the village office. Can I take you there to ask?"
