Chapter 28 A Big Income

In her opinion, Feng Chunhua couldn't come up with anything interesting.

Feng Chunhua first rolled her eyes at Chu Xuan, expressing her inner dissatisfaction with Chu Xuan, and then changed her expression.

He put on an apologetic look, "Chu Xuan, Chu Feng, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have kept this from you for so long. I was wrong! Today I brought you a thousand yuan in compensation for your father's death. Please accept it!"

Chu Xuan glanced at the security personnel and Wang Depin standing not far away and watching.

No wonder Feng Chunhua came so reluctantly to give the money, it turned out that someone was supervising her.

But where does this thousand yuan come from?

Weren’t they all stolen by Qiu Daguang?

Chu Xuan cast an inquiring look at Wang Depin.

Wang Depin immediately explained, "Qiu Daguang only stole part of Feng Chunhua's family's money. The rest was stolen by Feng Ti. Feng Ti explained where he hid the money in his suicide note, and the security officers actually found 5,000 yuan."

Chu Xuan felt something was wrong, but when he saw the security officer nodded to indicate that the money was fine, he accepted it.

Feng Chunhua looked distressed. "Why don't you count it? Don't say it's not enough later."

Chu Xuan handed it to Chu Feng, "Little brother, count it."

Chu Feng counted the money quickly, 20 bills in 50-yuan denominations.

"Sister, that's right, exactly one thousand yuan."

Just when he thought Feng Chunhua would leave cursing, Feng Chunhua took out another three hundred yuan from her pocket and said, "This is compensation for Chu Dashan destroying your front door. Please write a letter of understanding. The old man is old, and the sooner he can be released, the better."

Chu Xuan took it again and handed it to Chu Feng.

"I will write the letter of understanding. But the three members of your family must sign the certificate."

"What certificate should I sign?"

Feng Chunhua stretched her head and tried to see the layout of the courtyard, but her view was blocked by Chu Xuan and his sister.

Chu Xuan saw that Feng Chunhua was planning to take possession of the new house. "My father earned a lot of money for your family when he was alive, enough to buy this old house. Please sign a certificate to prove that this old house has nothing to do with your Chu family in the future! Otherwise, I will ask you to pay for my father's income when he was alive. Roughly speaking, it was at least more than 10,000 yuan, right?"

Deliberately exaggerating.

Feng Chunhua immediately got angry, "I worked so hard to raise your dad..."

Before she could finish, Chu Xuan interrupted coldly, "Do you still want me to sue you? I don't believe you didn't participate in stealing the child back then!"

Feng Chunhua's eyes rolled around. Feng Ti's case had already been decided and could not be overturned.

In order to spend his old age in peace, he could only swallow his anger this time. "Okay! I'll sign! Let's agree in advance that after signing the certificate, no one can bring up your father's affairs again. End of story."

Chu Xuan sneered. If she couldn't bring up her father, she could bring up other people. In short, some things couldn't just be left unresolved.

But I also understand that some things can only be done quietly.

So he said firmly, "Okay! I've signed the certificate, and that's it!"

Ten minutes later, Chu Xuan wrote the certificate in duplicate.

Feng Chunhua signed and put her fingerprints on the document, and Chu Zhi was also called over to put his fingerprints on it.

Chu Xuan asked the security personnel to bring the certificate to Chu Dashan and ask him to sign it. She would bring it back tomorrow when she went to the town to sign the letter of understanding.

She will keep one copy and the village office will keep the other.

Chu Xuan found time to go back to the dock and buy 40 pounds of skinned fish from Li Tong. At five cents per pound, he spent two dollars. After all, he could roast more fish in one batch, saving firewood.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan walked into Wang Depin's house and wanted to calculate the cost of building a new house.

Compared to the original budget, they added a cement floor, built two ovens, raised the courtyard wall, customized cabinets, tables and chairs, baking trays, etc. 2,200 yuan was not enough, and the excess was paid by the Wang family.

Now that I have money, I will pay off my debt quickly.

Gao Meijuan treated Chu Xuan as her own family member. "Don't worry, wait until you get your life together."

Chu Xuan patted her pocket lightly. "Grandma Gao, my younger brother and I are rich now, and I want to open a small grilled fish fillet workshop. Our lives will get better and better in the future."

Gao Meijuan responded gently, "Then wait until your workshop is open and developing steadily before paying you back."

"That won't work. I have to pay my debt first. One thing at a time, I'll borrow money from you later when my workshop needs it!"

Under Chu Xuan's insistence, Gao Meijuan had to calculate the expenses.

The construction team Lin Lou gave a lot of discounts on material costs for Wang Depin's sake, but they only used the best materials of that era.

The total cost including labor and materials is 3,660 yuan.

Chu Xuan took out a stack of money from his pocket, counted out 1,460 yuan, and handed it to Gao Meijuan.

"Grandma Gao, please count."

After paying off the debt and buying some daily necessities, I will still have more than 400 yuan left, which is enough to open a grilled fish fillet workshop.

"What are you counting? I just watched you count, how could you possibly make a mistake?" Gao Meijuan put it directly into her pocket and continued with a smile, "Xiao Xuan, if you need help opening your grilled fish fillet workshop, just let me know. Sasha and I are bored at home during the summer vacation."

Chu Xuan felt warm in her heart. "Okay. I definitely need some help. Tomorrow afternoon around four, please come to my house with Shasha to kill and skin the fish. I'll pay you then."

"What kind of wages do you want..."

Before Gao Meijuan could finish, Chu Xuan said, "If you don't want wages, I'll pay someone else."

Gao Meijuan smiled and patted Chu Xuan's back, "You silly girl."

Chu Xuan's eyes were slightly red. In this small fishing village, Grandma Gao's family gave her and her younger brother the warmth of family. In this life, she not only wanted to make a fortune for herself, but also to help Grandma Gao's family.

"Grandma Gao, the last time I took the train, I heard that they were going to build a shop near the train station. They were rushing to buy it, and if you're late you won't be able to get it. Doesn't Grandpa Wang have a classmate at the train station? Ask around and see if you can buy one. It's sure to appreciate in value in the future."

When Grandpa Wang learned the news in his previous life, it was already too late and he couldn't buy it.

Later, the price of shops increased tenfold, business was booming, and shops were hard to find.

Grandma Gao took this to heart and said, "He's on duty tonight. I'll tell him about this as soon as he gets back tomorrow morning."

Chu Xuan suddenly thought of Gao Meijuan's eldest son, Wang Mingchen. "Grandma Gao, where's Uncle Mingchen?"

Wang Mingchen is 25 years old this year, only a few years older than Chu Xuan, but he is of a higher generation.

The second son, Wang Mingyang, is 20 years old and attends university in another city.

Gao Meijuan smiled and replied, "He's working in the deep sea with his wife. He'll probably be back tomorrow morning, sell his seafood, and go out to sea again the day after tomorrow morning."

When Chu Xuan heard the words "deep-sea operations", he suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, Wang Mingchen went out to sea on August 12 and was attacked by a shark, injuring his leg. In order to save his life, he had to undergo amputation.

The day after tomorrow is the 12th, and he must not be allowed to go out to sea.

How can I convince him?

Maybe be a little thick-skinned.

"Grandma Gao, after Uncle Mingchen comes back, can you let him go out to sea a day later? The day after tomorrow, I'd like to trouble Uncle Mingchen and Auntie Mingchen to accompany me to the city to sell grilled fish fillets."

Gao Meijuan didn't know what Chu Xuan was thinking. She still hoped that her eldest son would go out to sea to earn money. She just thought that if he bought a shop at the train station, it would cost a lot of money. If she could not take up her eldest son's time to earn money, she would do it. "Then my eldest son's wife and I will go with you. Don't worry, we both have the strength..."
