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 3: Breaking off the relationship? Going to the sea!
Chu Dashan was so anxious that he paced back and forth. He had a lot of valuable things at home, but he couldn't use them to pay off the debt with that dead girl Chu Xuan.
Chu Zhi, who was lying on the ground wailing, suddenly sat up. "Mom and Dad, how could you forget? Didn't we just separate Chu Xuan and his brother today? What does a three thousand yuan debt have to do with us?"
After saying that, he winked at Feng Chunhua.
Feng Chunhua understood immediately, clapped her hands on her thighs, and smiled happily, "That's right! Chu Xuan and Chu Feng and I have already separated. They live in the old house. You can go there and move your things!"
At this moment, the village chief Wang Depin hurried over and politely said to the one-eyed dragon, "Dalong! Can I see the IOU?"
They know each other and have some friendship.
The one-eyed man loosened the back of Chu Xuan's collar and took out the IOU from his pocket.
Wang Depin took it and confirmed that Chu Xuan owed three thousand yuan.
He handed back the IOU and discussed with the one-eyed dragon, "We know each other, so could you please give me a few years of grace for my sake? I'll guarantee the Chu family and ask them to pay it back within three years, okay?"
The one-eyed man pointed at the wardrobe his men had just moved out and said, "For your sake, these can be left unmoved for now. However, the Chu family must pay back 100 yuan on the 20th of every month. If you don't pay on time, we will continue to move! You can't stop us then."
The village chief immediately promised, "I will definitely not stop you when the time comes."
The one-eyed man waved to his men and walked out.
Everyone marveled at the village chief's prestige.
Feng Chunhua hurriedly shouted from behind, "Our village chief has guaranteed Chu Xuan. If you need to collect debts from now on, go to the old house and find Chu Xuan. We're splitting up!"
The one-eyed dragon turned around and glared at her, "Who can prove that you have split up?"
Walk away with big strides.
Seeing that the debt collectors had finally left and her belongings were temporarily saved, Feng Chunhua lay on the ground and cried, "I can't live anymore! That damn girl Chu Xuan caused such a big disaster, a debt of 3,000 yuan! Isn't this going to kill me and my old man? Village chief, you have to decide how to divide the family property for us!"
Chu Zhi added viciously, "Not only will we split up the family, we'll also sever our ties!"
Three thousand yuan is not a small amount.
Village chief: "This is inappropriate..."
No matter how he tried to persuade me, it was useless.
It was no use for Chu Xuan and her brother to cry and beg.
It was no use for the villagers to plead for mercy.
Feng Chunhua and Chu Dashan refused to give in and forced Chu Xuan and her brother to sign a separation agreement and a letter of severance of relationship.
In the end, Chu Xuan and her brother got nothing except the old house and personal belongings.
The village chief hesitated to speak, but did not raise any objections. It was better to sever the relationship so that it would be easier for his family to support Chu Xuan and his sister in the future. As for the debt, perhaps he could contact Chu Xuan's biological mother to help pay it off.
The onlookers gradually dispersed.
Chu Feng, who had been forced to split up the family, was in a bad mood. After carrying his luggage and belongings to the dilapidated old house, he sobbed loudly, "We have nothing. How can we live in such a shabby house? It will cost a lot of money to repair it. You accidentally broke Brother Long's jade ornament. How are you going to pay back the 100 yuan every month?"
Chu Xuan had tolerated this guy for many years in his previous life, but now he couldn't stand it anymore. He kicked him in the butt and said, "Go put your things down in the house, bring me the bucket, and go fishing with me!"
It’s almost five o’clock, and the Spanish mackerel king and the gold ingots must be hers!
Chu Feng's butt was kicked so hard that it hurt. He immediately thought of his sister's toughness. He didn't dare to continue crying, let alone fight back. He quickly went into the house, put down his luggage, picked up the wooden bucket and bamboo clips, and followed his sister out.
After arriving at the beach, Chu Xuan looked in the direction where the Spanish mackerel king was about to appear. The tide in that place had not yet completely receded.
It's near the pile of rocks in front. When the tide recedes completely, the fish will be stuck between the two rocks. She wants to go there and wait for the fish.
Pointing in the direction of the reef, he ordered, "Xiao Feng, let's go over there and see if there's anything."
Chu Feng didn't dare to say no, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Two minutes later, they arrived near the reef.
Chu Feng saw an octopus as big as a man's palm under the stone. He quickly picked it out with bamboo tongs and happily threw it into the bucket, feeling that he could have a snack tonight.
Chu Xuan lowered his head to search, and by chance, he saw a small octopus under another stone. Just as he was about to grab it, Chu Feng had already bent down, grabbed it, and threw it into the bucket.
When it comes to this, Chu Feng is even more active than his sister.
In the past, you might not even encounter an octopus even if you spent hours at the beach.
From then on, wherever Chu Xuan went, the younger brother would follow her, except when it came to his sister's obedience.
Chu Xuan was thinking about the big fish that was about to appear. He searched for rocks while waiting and found a few stone crabs the size of a fingernail, which he released directly.
The reef here is quite large. Fortunately, Chu Xuan has good eyesight. A few minutes later, when the tide had just receded, a big fish was stranded between two reefs and was seen by Chu Xuan at a glance.
Chu Feng didn't see it and was busy looking for seafood.
Chu Xuan grabbed his collar, pointed over there, and whispered, "There's a big fish over there! Don't make a sound. Let's go over there quickly."
So as not to attract people to steal the fish.
They both ran over quickly.
When it got closer, Chu Feng recognized it at a glance. It was a big mackerel. Chu Xuan saw joy in his eyes.
It is more than one meter long and looks to weigh sixty or seventy kilograms, making it the king of mackerel.
The meat of the Spanish mackerel is thick and firm, shaped like garlic cloves, red in color, delicious, and has few bones. Everyone in the village loves to eat it.
At this moment, the big mackerel was dying and at the mercy of others.
Chu Xuan carried the big mackerel on his shoulders with almost no effort.
On the beach, everyone who saw the big fish exclaimed in surprise.
Those who wanted to grab the fish had already been caught before they could make a move.
They were all carried on Chu Xuan's shoulders, so it was difficult for them to snatch them away.
Everyone envied the good luck of Chu Xuan and his sister. Such a big mackerel was not common.
Just then, a couple ran over, their eyes shining.
One of the women spoke up first, "This king mackerel is absolutely delicious! Brother Guang, you have to buy it for me! We'll go home and braise a few pieces, make some into mackerel dumplings, and pickle the rest. It'll be enough for our family to eat for two days!"
Qiu Daguang nodded repeatedly and rubbed his hands together, thinking about what price would be appropriate. If the price was too high, he would not buy it for now and could go steal it at night.
Chu Xuan recognized the couple at a glance. The woman's name was Qi Hong and the man's name was Qiu Daguang. They were well-known lazy wives in the village and were very good at cheating and cheating.
In their previous life, the couple couldn’t buy the king mackerel and wanted to steal it, but they were discovered by the Chu family and failed.
The couple's business was despicable. They stole fish from other people's fishing nets at sea, stole vegetables, money and all kinds of things on land, and later they even started trafficking children.
Chu Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to them. He carried the big mackerel and was about to leave. He was thinking about going home to kill the fish and get the gold ingots, and had no time to continue fishing.
Qi Hong opened her arms and refused to let her go.
Chu Xuan and Chu Feng shouted almost at the same time, "Get out of the way!"
