Back to the 80s: Pretending to Be in Debt to Escape Misery

In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...

Chapter 15 Unpredictable

Chapter 15 Unpredictable

Mu Chenze stopped half a meter away from her.

His eyes fell on the cutlassfish with a hint of appreciation.

"Chu Xuan, you're lucky today! You can braise half of this hairtail fish and deep-fry the other half."

Today he was wearing an ordinary white sweatshirt and blue pants, but he looked so pleasing to the eye.

The more beautiful a person is, the more Chu Xuan can't bear to harm them.

If you don't marry him, being friends with him is fine too.

"Mu Chenze, take it quickly!"

If she didn't take it away, she was worried that he would change his mind and keep it for himself.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chenze said, "I like to eat octopus, you can keep the hairtail fish!"

Chu Xuan came to his senses only after Mu Chenze caught the two octopuses in the bucket and walked away.

That guy loved eating hairtail fish in his previous life. When did he change to eating octopus?

Some of them are hard to understand.

Chu Xuan pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.

Chu Feng heard the noise and rushed out of the bedroom like an arrow.

"Sister, are you starving? There's food in the pot, go wash your hands and eat. Such a big hairtail? I'll sell it for money. And there are swimming crabs..."

Chu Xuan took out the money from selling fish from his pocket and put it in Chu Feng's hand. "Save the hairtail and swimming crabs in the bucket for us to eat. This is what I earned from selling hairtail today. You can count it. I'll wash my hands, change my clothes and come out to eat."

"Well, so much money?"

Chu Feng counted quickly, a total of 95 yuan.

Five minutes later, Chu Xuan was eating a delicious breakfast of steamed scallop eggs, scallion pancakes, and rice porridge.

They were all made by my younger brother and they suit her taste very well.

After dinner, Chu Feng put the money in Chu Xuan's hand and rushed to clean up the dishes with a happy face. "Sister, you put the money away first, and I'll do the housework from now on. You've been really lucky after the separation! If you can keep it up, our family can make a fortune by fishing."

Chu Xuan also thought so. "I've been busy with sea transportation recently. I'll go to the beach again when the tide goes out in the afternoon."

Put the money in your pocket.

I usually hide my money in the pocket of my shirt. If I go to the beach often, I never know when I will get soaked and my money will be lost.

Do you want to give the money to me for safekeeping?

He won't use the money to gamble like he did in his previous life, right?

Thinking carefully, I started gambling four years later in my previous life, and I haven't been addicted yet.

Chu Xuan counted the money in his pocket, a total of more than 700 yuan, and made an important decision.

I immediately found one of Xiaofeng's shirts and sewed a close-fitting pocket inside.

Put more than 700 yuan in it.

Leave it to Xiaofeng.

"Xiao Feng, while I'm out fishing, you'll be in charge of the money and the house. Once we build a new house, put up a high wall, put up some glass shards, and get a dog, we'll hide the money at home."

In the previous life, the villagers had their money stolen a lot.

What Chu Xuan lacks most in this life is money, so he must take good care of it.

Chu Feng felt a great sense of responsibility, "Sister, don't worry! Even if I was robbed, we can't let our money be stolen."

Chu Xuan said earnestly, "When your life is in danger, you can throw away money, but saving your life is the most important thing. Remember that?"

Chu Feng nodded seriously, "I remember!"

Change into a tight-fitting top immediately.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Mu Chenze walked into his good friend Ji Ping's house, carrying two octopuses.

Ji Ping lives here alone. He is the same age as him and is 22 years old this year.

"Pingzi, can I borrow your kitchen for a moment?"

Ji Ping had just finished washing his hair and was wiping it with a towel as he walked towards the kitchen. "Why do you keep coming to my house today?"

Mu Chenze found a wooden basin and prepared to wash the octopus. "I'm planning to make stir-fried octopus. Shall we have a drink at noon?"

Ji Ping looked Mu Chenze up and down, his eyes filled with confusion. "Not only did you not go out to sea today, but you also got soaked to the skin. You came to my house to take a shower, rubbed my clothes, and even ran out wearing them, just to buy two octopuses to eat with wine? You don't have a fever, do you?"

He placed his hand on Mu Chenze's head and tested the temperature.

No fever.

Mu Chenze remained silent.

Ji Ping couldn't do anything about him. "Okay, there are some things you don't want to talk about, so I won't ask. After all, we are good friends. I'm going out to buy some wine."

At this moment, Mu Chenze's mother, Qin Mahua, was pacing anxiously in her yard, "Why hasn't that naughty second son come back yet? We agreed to have a blind date this afternoon..."

Fu Qing reminded cautiously, "Mom, could it be that Chen Ze doesn't want to go on a blind date? He seemed to have said last night that he hated blind dates."

Qin Mahua scratched his ears. "Why didn't I hear it? No, I have to go out and look for him. Maybe he's at Pingzi's house."

He pretended to go out to look for his son.

Fu Qing stopped her, "Mom, please wait at home. If Matchmaker Wang brings the girl she's dating with over early, you can smooth things over. I'm not very good with words, so I'm more suited to running errands."

Without waiting for Qin Mahua's consent, she ran out of the house.

On the way, I met Ji Ping who was out buying wine.

"Hirako, have you seen Chen Ze?"

Ji Ping didn't answer directly, but asked indirectly, "What's going on? Doesn't Chen Ze go out to sea every day? Why didn't he go out to sea today? Is there something going on at home?"

Fu Qing had no doubts, "Hey, weren't you planning on setting up a blind date for Chen Ze? But he went out early this morning and hasn't come home yet."

Hearing this, Ji Ping lied without blushing and said, "I didn't see him today."

"Then I'll look for him somewhere else."

Fu Qing smiled and waved his hand, then changed direction to look for someone.

About ten minutes later, Ji Ping returned home with a bottle of white wine and a bag of peanuts, without mentioning what happened to Fu Qing just now.

He thought he understood Mu Chenze, and after a glass of white wine, he would tell everything.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Ji Ping and Mu Chenze sat on the kang, drinking and eating.

After drinking a small glass of white wine, Mu Chenze didn't open his mouth.

Ji Ping waited patiently.

After drinking five small cups in a row, Mu Chenze still didn't speak.

Ji Ping was a little confused. Why didn't he say anything yet?

Before getting drunk, he finally heard Mu Chenze say, "Pingzi, women are trouble. Do you believe this?"

Ji Ping nodded repeatedly, his eyes hazy with drunkenness. "I believe it! Of course I do! You got soaked like a drowned rat this morning, was it because of a woman?"

The question was asked, but the answer was not heard clearly because he fell asleep...

After a while, Fu Qing's voice and a knock on the door were heard outside, "Pingzi, open the door! I heard from the villagers that Chen Ze came to your house..."

Mu Chenze took irregular steps to open the gate.

Fu Qing saw that he was drunk and became very anxious. "Why did you drink so much? Matchmaker Wang brought a girl to our house and they are waiting for you to go back for a blind date!"

Standing outside the door, waiting for Mu Chenze to come out.

As a sister-in-law, she was embarrassed to step forward to support, and should have asked her mother-in-law to come over.

Mu Chenze narrowed his eyes and pointed backwards, "Sister-in-law, please take two steps back."

Fu Qing was confused and took two steps back obediently.

Then the sound of a door closing and bolting was heard.

I had no choice but to continue knocking on the door, "Open the door! Open the door! Otherwise I'll send my mother!"

Mu Chenze shouted through the door, "It's useless for anyone to come! I'm not going on blind dates! I want to be in love freely! Whoever I fall in love with in the future, I will marry! Tell mother to stop worrying about you!"

Fu Qing kindly reminded him, "If you don't go on the blind date, and our mother gets angry and decides to marry you, what will you do?"
