"I really envy you guys."

The man naturally understood that Su Dahai couldn't say it aloud, so he just sighed and left.

The Su family father and son returned late again. Liu, who had been waiting for a while, saw them from afar and exclaimed, "Wow, you guys are so lucky!"

"They're all Spanish mackerel. We've run into a school of Spanish mackerel."

The boat was full of plump mackerel, and Liu, the fish buyer, was so excited he was practically green with envy.

He really envied such good luck. If he could go out to sea every day, wouldn't he earn tens of thousands a month?

"Hmm, I'm lucky today, let's weigh it quickly."

After mooring the boat, Su Dahai greeted Liu, the fish collector.

Liu nodded and immediately told the workers to start moving the fish and weighing them.

"Damn, that's a whole 2,070 pounds! At 30 cents a pound, that's 621 yuan in total."

Liu, the fishmonger, was stunned. He remembered that they had five or six hundred fish yesterday, and today they had so many again. Their luck was simply unbeatable.

"Your family is about to get rich! You're having such good luck every day. It's God's will for you to become wealthy."

Liu, the fishmonger, smiled and said nice things, mainly because the fish that the Su family father and son brought in lately were always the best and could fetch a good price.

He, the fish buyer, also made a lot of money.

"Thank you, thank you."

Su Dahai smiled.

"The weather looks like it's about to change again. I hope I can still go out to sea tomorrow. See you tomorrow."

Liu, the fishmonger, said hello, waved, and left.

The father and his two sons were all exhausted, so they packed up their things and headed home.

I still brought back a few mackerel.

I immediately washed up when I got home, and then waited for the medicinal wine to be applied.

Soon, the sounds of the father and son crying out in pain echoed through the courtyard.

"Sigh, I never thought this day would come, because there are too many fish and I am in pain."

Liu Xiaohua felt very sorry for Su Dahai when she saw that his arms were swollen.

There used to be an air force, and back then everyone wore a long face. Occasionally, we'd get a good harvest, but we'd never been this tired.

"What's the big deal? As long as there's money to be made, I'm happy no matter how tired I am. Let me tell you something."

While catching his breath, Su Dahai talked to Liu Xiaohua about making gold.

Liu Xiaohua listened with a mixture of anticipation and heartache: "That would cost more than a thousand or two thousand at once."

"Yes, doing them all together is about the same, but gold is money, it doesn't disappear, it's just stored around in a different way, unlike food and drink, which are gone once they're eaten, drunk, used, or spoiled."

Su Dahai nodded. It was indeed going to cost one or two thousand, but with all that he had earned recently, it was more than enough.

Moreover, gold has always been valuable, so this money has simply changed form, not actually been spent.

"That makes sense. If they all agree, then let's fight."

Liu Xiaohua thought for a moment and nodded.

She naturally didn't mind, because Su Luo was her daughter and Su Tiantian was her granddaughter.

Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei are both very good people, but given how valuable this gift is, it's understandable that they might disagree.

"If they don't want to, what should we send them?"

Liu Xiaohua asked Su Dahai, "It's always better to think about it more."

Su Dahai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's buy some clothes for Tiantian. Give her some money privately. It wouldn't be good if her two wives found out we bought gold."

Giving money to your daughter will always come in handy, but gold will just sit there unused.

If they find out someday, it will only make people feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Xiaohua nodded, poured some more medicinal wine, and began massaging Su Dahai's hands.

...

Su Chenggong felt somewhat uneasy after speaking with Li Xue.

"Xue, it's okay if you don't agree. We can give you a different gift later."

Li Xue chuckled and said, "Thanks to my little sister, we can all have gold now."

Su Chenggong looked at Li Xue, feeling guilty: "Xue, I'm sorry, it's my fault for being incompetent."

"Smack—"

Su Chenggong was slapped hard on the shoulder, making him wince in pain.

He looked at Li Xue with a wronged expression, not understanding why his wife had suddenly hit him so hard.

"Serves you right for talking nonsense!"

Li Xue paused for a moment, feeling a pang of heartache. She had only intended to scare Su Chenggong, but she hadn't expected to use too much force and lose control.

Seeing Su Chenggong's aggrieved look, Li Xue's expression softened. She reached out and rubbed his arm, saying, "Why are you saying all that out of the blue? Is this how you calculate competence? I married you, and you've never skimped on my food or clothing, never wronged me. Our child has enough to eat and wear. That's competence, you know?"

What pained Li Xue was Su Chenggong's self-deprecation; she couldn't bear to hear him say that.

"Do you know how many men can't even support their families? You're already so much better off, so you're not allowed to say things like that anymore. Being capable or not isn't about whether you have gold or silver, understand?"

Li Xue's voice was gentle, and her eyes were filled with shyness as she looked at Su Chenggong.

Even wearing gold and silver can't bring a smile; in life, you need someone who understands and cares for you.

Su Chenggong didn't give her any gold or silver, but after she gave birth, he would get up at night to help change her diapers, let her rest more while he did more work, and massage her back to make her feel better when she had back pain.

How can this not be considered skillful?

"Xue, thank you. I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life to have met a wife like you in this life."

Su Chenggong was overjoyed; nothing could make him more proud than being with Li Xueke.

Li Xue pursed her lips and curled the corners of her mouth. She really couldn't stand Su Chenggong's hot gaze, so she had no choice but to massage him vigorously to distract him.

On the other end are Su Chengguo and his wife.

Zhou Chunmei sat on Su Chengguo's waist, listening to Su Chengguo say to her: "Chunmei, Dad said he's going to make a gold lock for our son and a gold necklace for you. I said I'd add money to make you earrings too. Are you happy?"

Zhou Chunmei smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy! We all have them. What about my little sister? Tian Tian is almost a month old. Why don't we tell Dad and have our family chip in to make a gold lock for Tian Tian as a full-month gift?"

"Isn't it too extravagant to use a gold lock as a full-month gift? You and your sister-in-law didn't have anything this valuable when you had your baby."

Su Chengguo's tone was hesitant, as if she was very reluctant to part with him.

Zhou Chunmei pinched Su Chengguo's waist and said, "What were our conditions when my sister-in-law and I had our child? What are our conditions now? Times have changed, how can they be the same? Besides, I think that little girl Tiantian really likes it. If our family weren't so poor, I would have liked to get her a gold necklace."

"Chunmei likes gold necklaces. When I earn more money in the future, I'll give you a gold necklace."

Su Chengguo became serious.

Zhou Chunmei blushed: "Hmph, I not only like gold necklaces, I like anything made of gold. Can you buy me a Grand Slam?"

Su Chengguo knows how to coax her. She's not stupid. If she thought about it carefully, she would know that Su Chengguo was testing her. She has seen all the changes in the family recently. Unless she is an idiot, she would not object.
