Chapter 199: Half and Half

Ren Laidie really knows how to find a place.

The place she was talking about was like a pond. The depth of the water was not a problem for adults, but it was a bit deep for her.

He is too small. Although he is eight years old, his size is almost that of a four or five-year-old child.

With thin arms and legs, it would be very dangerous if he went down there.

In addition, there were reefs all around and she didn't have shoes, so she would easily get scratched if she went barefoot.

This is also the reason why she didn't dare to go into the water and only dared to pick up some shells on the side to eat.

Yi Chichi stood by and took a look around, and found several extremely plump scallops.

Each one is the size of her palm.

In addition, she saw snails and lobsters of various shapes under the reef.

There are also a few crabs.

I can't tell what species they are, but they are all quite large.

She was delighted to see prey, and when she poked and sniffed, she said, "Old Wen, go pick it up quickly."

"good."

Wen Shi bent down and rolled up his trouser legs below his knees, leaving his shoes in the water.

He told the two men not to come down and to wait for him up there.

Yi Chichi agreed, and she and Ren Laidie squatted obediently beside him, watching him work while acting as search tools to look for seafood.

After finding it, tell him the location and he will go and fish it out.

The three of them worked in perfect harmony and gained a lot in less than half an hour.

"Uncle, there is a snail there."

Ren Lai Di had sharp eyes and found a snail in the crevice of the reef not far from Wen Shi. "A big snail."

Before he could react, Yi Chichi asked, "Where?"

"There."

Lai Di pointed it out to her, and Wen Shi also saw it. He waded over to pick it up, but was stopped by Yi Chichi.

"You can't pick it up. It's a cone snail. It's poisonous."

He had stretched out his hand when hearing the sound, but he retracted it and looked over in surprise, "Snail can be poisonous?"

"have."

She nodded and waved at him, "Be good, we won't pick up poisonous snails, come up quickly."

The tone of coaxing a child.

When he heard it, he didn't feel that his dignity was damaged. Instead, he exclaimed happily and came up with the bucket.

Lai Di kept her eyes on the bucket in his hand, but her feet were rooted to the spot. Although her face was full of anticipation, she didn't dare to go forward to see what was in the bucket.

Yi Chichi, noticing her gaze, reached out his hand to her and said, "Laidi, let's go and see what uncle has harvested."

The little girl raised her head in surprise, "I, I can see it too?"

“Yes.”

Yi Chichi smiled and encouraged her, "Uncle can't pick up seafood without your guidance. Don't be afraid, let's watch together."

"Thank you, Auntie."

She reached out to hold Yi Chizhi's hand, but found that her own hands were black and dirty like chicken claws, while her aunt's hands were tender and white. An indescribable inferiority complex instantly filled her heart.

She shrank back and tried to withdraw her hand, but Yi Chichi didn't give her a chance to do so and held her hand tightly, "Don't be afraid."

The hand I held was warm and soft, not as rough as her mother's. I wanted to break her hand.

"Auntie, your hands are so soft."

She spoke in a tone as if she had discovered a new world, and her expression was full of surprise.

Yi Chichi,…the thoughts and happiness of children of this age are actually very simple.

Parents can give their children a happy childhood if they pay a little attention.

I just hope that Lai Di’s situation will improve after her father comes back.

"Laidi's hands are also very beautiful."

This baby actually looks quite good, with a small face and big eyes. Even though she is thin and dark, her facial features and bone structure are still there. If she can be raised well, she will actually be a pretty girl.

“She’s pretty, too.”

No matter who is praised, it makes the person feel happy.

Ren Lai Di was no exception. She pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Auntie, let's go to uncle's place."

"Walk."

When I got to the barrel and took a look, I saw that the harvest was really not bad.

There were more than ten scallops, one large coconut snail, two sea cucumbers, one sea urchin, and six tiger crabs, two males and four females.

Then there are small seafood such as octopus.

Oh, and there is also a little green dragon.

After counting the harvest, Yi Chichi felt deeply that the current marine resources are truly abundant.

Unfortunately, there are no fish.

But these are enough.

"Split it in half with Lai Di."

She suggested, and Wen Shi hummed in agreement.

The little girl waved her hands and refused, "No, this is what my uncle caught, I can't have it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When he heard it, he smiled and said, "Without you leading the way, we wouldn't be able to pick these up."

"cocoa……"

"Don't worry, just listen to your uncle."

Yi Chichi patted her head, his tone brooking no room for argument.

Then, the seafood was split in half.

"Send it back to you?"

"Can you send it to a purchasing station?"

The little girl made her request cautiously, and Wen Shi and Yi understood immediately that she wanted to go to the vegetable market to sell it for money.

"You hid the money after selling it?"

"OK."

She whispered, "Mom doesn't work, I do all the housework. There's a hole in the back wall where I can hide the money."

Worried that the two would not agree, she begged, "Uncle and aunt, I want to make money to buy fine food for my sister."

"……good."

You need food stamps to buy food, and the little girl definitely doesn't have them.

But there was no way to refuse.

It would be even worse to dampen the little girl's joy of making money.

Helplessly, the couple exchanged glances and could only accompany her to the purchasing station first.

It’s getting late, but the purchasing station is still open because some fishing boats have returned today and the employees are waiting to get in stock.

Ren Laidie exchanged her seafood for 23 cents. Although it seems like a small amount, considering today's purchasing power, it is enough for her to have a hearty breakfast and still have some left over. It is a huge sum of money for a penniless little girl.

She held the money in her hands with such excitement that her eyes turned red, and she kept saying that she could buy fine food for her sister.

The couple was heartbroken to hear this, but there was nothing they could do.

I could only send her home and hope her father would come back soon.

On the way back, Wen Shi sighed, "If the rear is unstable, the front will be chaotic."

Yi Chichi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure your rear is safe."

"Of course I believe you. I'm just worried about Lao Ren."

This matter is too difficult to handle. Even a judge cannot judge family affairs. If Mr. Ren does not take ruthless measures, something bad will happen sooner or later given his wife's behavior.

"If it doesn't work, leave."

She said softly, "This won't work. Children's childhood is only a few years long. Besides, Jiajia and the others are already in school at such a young age, but Lai Di is over eight years old and still hasn't even started school. This is nothing in the countryside, but here it can be linked to backward thinking."

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Yi Chichi said meaningfully, "Lao Wen, you have to understand the principle that if you can't even clean your own house, you can't clean the world."

The implication is that if he can't even manage his own wife, how can he be trusted with his work? !

"divorce?"

Wen Shi felt that what she said made sense, but he was still shocked by her words that if it doesn't work out, just get a divorce.

It is said that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Why does his wife ask for a divorce as soon as she opens her mouth?

"You can't accept divorce?"

Yi hesitated to answer and asked back, and when he heard it, the corner of his mouth twitched, "If I tell this to Lao Ren, he will fight with me."

"Silly, this is not your business. The political personnel should talk to him."
