Chapter 51 The Best Candidate

Chu Xuan held the long clamp and concentrated his attention.

But I didn't succeed after trying several times.

In fact, she had never caught live eels more than twice in her two lifetimes.

Mu Chenze folded his hands in front of his chest and watched patiently.

Chu Xuan felt a little embarrassed to be laughed at by this guy.

After a few more attempts, the clamp finally caught the eel, but it escaped and fell back into the tide pool.

I was secretly glad that it didn't fall on my hands or body...

It wasn't until Mu Chenze couldn't bear to watch any longer that he spoke up, "Give me the long clip."

Chu Xuan immediately offered it up, smiling, "Please give me your advice."

Catching eels requires skill.

Mu Chenze picked up the tongs, and in less than a minute, all three eels were in the bucket.

Chu Xuan cheered and applauded him, "You're awesome! Can you teach me today?"

"Some other time."

"When is that other day?"

"When I'm in a good mood."

"You're in a bad mood after catching so many fish? Why?"

“Because the employees don’t listen to their boss.”

As Mu Chenze spoke, he grabbed the sea bass and put it into the bucket.

He returned the long clamp to Chu Xuan and prepared to go back.

Chu Xuan put the bucket into the backpack. He was not afraid when he grabbed it, but when he put the backpack on his back, his scalp went numb and he got goose bumps all over his body.

"Mu Chenze, wait for me!"

Mu Chenze deliberately didn't wait for her because he wanted her to be alone with the eels for a while.

Chu Xuan finally reached the dock, and Mu Chenze finally took out the wooden barrel from his backpack. "I'll take these to the city to sell them in the early morning. I'll leave them at Li Tong's stall first."

"Can it be operated this way? Li Tong won't be unhappy, right?"

He only lets Li Tong look at it, but doesn't sell it to him. He won't be able to earn any money from it, uh...

Mu Chenze said with certainty, "No. I know him."

If it is sold in the city, the price will definitely be higher.

Chu Xuan naturally agreed, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go back first and won't wait for you, okay?"

Mu Chenze pretended to be disgusted, "I didn't think I asked you to wait for me."

Chu Xuan didn't care at all because she knew that this guy was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

What appears to be disdain is actually enthusiasm and kindness.

"I'm leaving. You're very tired today, go back and rest early."

Mu Chenze nodded to show that he understood, and walked towards the dock carrying the wooden bucket.

When Chu Xuan returned, he deliberately took a detour and passed by Feng Chunhua's house.

The gate was closed and there were lights in the yard.

Chu Xuan stood outside the courtyard wall for a while.

I didn't hear Feng Chunhua's voice, but I heard the voices of Chu Zhi and a woman.

"Xiao Li, my family is rich now, so just obey me tonight."

"No! You can only look but not touch. Wait until you marry me officially, then talk to me about this."

"You've already stayed overnight. Even if nothing happened, others will think it did."

"Others can think whatever they want. I just need to take care of you and me."

"So how much dowry does your family plan to ask for?"

"Two thousand! Not a cent less."

"Your family is being robbed!"

Chu Xuan didn't listen to the rest of the words.

At the beginning, Feng Chunhua and Chu Zhi asked her to ask Mu Chenze for a betrothal gift of 2,000 yuan. Now the situation has changed and Chu Zhi is asked for 2,000 yuan by Pan Xiaoli.

In her previous life, Pan Xiaoli did not marry Chu Zhi, but in this life, it might be possible.

If Feng Chunhua's money was taken away, she would definitely find a way to get more money.

If only someone could specifically monitor Feng Chunhua...

When Chu Xuan passed by Hua Daling's house, he heard Hua Daling complaining, "This family is barely making ends meet. Head of the household, you can't just lie around at home all the time and not go out to find work."

"My legs are broken like this, and you still want me to go out and find a job? Why don't you go? I heard that Widow Niu has found a job, you should go and find one too!"

"Do you think I don't want to go find Chu Xuan? But don't I feel guilty? I knew her father wasn't Feng Chunhua's biological son, and I helped to conceal it. I don't have the face to go to her house and ask for work."

After hearing this, Chu Xuan had an idea in mind.

After what happened with Feng Ti, Feng Chunhua had money, but Hua Daling's family had no money, which shows that Feng Chunhua did not bribe Hua Daling.

What Hua Daling confessed to the security team must be the truth.

Now Hua Daling and Feng Chunhua are not on the same page.

Hua Daling is the most suitable person to monitor Feng Chunhua.

But I still need to think carefully about how to use this person.

Let’s wait for Hua Daling to come and find a job.

When Chu Xuan returned home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Chu Feng was the only one at home. The others had gone home to rest, and all the grilled fish fillets were placed in the designated place.

Chu Feng took out the account book and reported one by one, including how much salary was paid today and how much the purchase cost...

That's pretty good for a 12-year-old.

The only thing Chu Xuan needed to do was to calculate the profit and how much money was left in the account.

Chu Xuan realized that his younger brother was naturally sensitive to numbers, and this could be cultivated.

"Little brother, do you want to learn how to use an abacus?"

In fact, Chu Feng had wanted to learn it for a long time. "Yes! I used to see the village accountant Wen using an abacus, and I was so envious."

"I'll talk to Grandpa Wang tomorrow and ask him to help persuade you to become the village accountant."

"Great!" Chu Feng's excitement faded, and he realized that his sister had found a wooden barrel with the tools she had brought out to catch seafood. "Sister, where's our wooden barrel? How was the catch today?"

Chu Xuan responded while washing up, "The wooden barrel contains eels and other things. I asked Mu Chenze to sell them to the city tonight."

"Sister, the Mu family is so nice!"

"Yes! By the way, Xiaofeng, if Hua Daling comes looking for work in the future, don't reject her outright..."

Chu Xuan successfully changed the subject.

At this moment, Qin Mahua was sitting in the main room, counting the money from selling fish today with Fu Qing.

Mu Qinlao and Mu Chenfu had already returned to their rooms to sleep.

"We've got so much today! If we sell it directly to the city, wouldn't we make more money? Old family, tell Dafu tomorrow that from now on, leave the hairtail for Xiaoze to sell in the city?"

Mu Chenze just walked in. "That boss in the city no longer buys hairtail. He now specializes in abalone, sea cucumbers, and premium shrimp. Mom, tell Dad and Big Brother tomorrow that if you catch any conger eels out at sea, remember to leave them for me and I'll give them away. That person loves to eat conger eels the most."

"good."

Ten minutes later, Mu Chenze lay on the kang, thinking about things.

He didn't tell Chu Xuan that he bought the bucket of seafood himself and gave it as a gift.

How much money should I give Chu Xuan tomorrow?

The more I get to know him, the more I realize that Chu Xuan is a good person.

If she refused to lend him money, then he would help her in another way!

It was worth it that she ran back and got hit for him when the car was about to hit her.

He kept saying he was stupid.

And she is stupid enough.

Gradually fell asleep.

When the alarm clock rang at midnight, he got up in a daze.

Wash your face and wake up.

Hope everything goes well today.

At one o'clock in the morning, the truck picked up Chu Xuan and more than 300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets.

Before three o'clock in the morning, Chu Xuan had already set up a stall in the city, and Mu Chenze went to deliver the goods.

Before the grilled fish fillet business opened, someone could be heard shouting, "Freshly baked fish fillets, three flavors, 1.5 yuan per pound, cheap! Come and take a look!"

Chu Xuan had thought about being imitated, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The key is the low price...
