When the beachcombers, who had just returned with their catch, saw Jiang Qiao, they all asked happily, "Jiang Qiao, are you going to collect your fish now?"

Jiang Qiao waved to everyone and replied generously, "I'll collect it when we get back. Please help me bring back more seawater. Thanks in advance."

Jiang Qiao and Dai Chun's children quickly grabbed the baskets and ran back; they needed to help Jiang Qiao weigh the items.

In no time, the small courtyard where Jiang Qiao was temporarily staying became very lively again. People who came out were all holding their newly acquired money, beaming with joy. Everyone was thinking about what to buy for their homes, what to buy for their children, and what to do for their elderly relatives.

Anyway, everyone who went in came out happy. After all, they got paid without much capital, so it was a good deal. They all wished Jiang Qiao wouldn't leave, so they could make money every day.

Just as Jiang Qiao finished, Zhou Songyuan arrived with seafood from other fishing villages.

Goodness, we collected much more today than yesterday. Zhou Songyuan was wondering why he didn't see anything in the house.

"I came late last night, but you were all asleep, so I left without disturbing you."

Seeing that no one was around, Dai Chun nudged her husband and said, "It's not just that he came; Jiang Qiao even brought us gifts. You'll see when we get back. Kids, go to the beach and see if you can catch any fish. Jiang Qiao hasn't had any fresh fish yet."

Upon hearing that it was for Jiang Qiao, the children, oblivious to the cold, happily went home to get their fishing rods.

The couple followed behind, and Zhou Songyuan didn't find it funny to see Jiang Qiao happily carrying the fishing net and running after the child.

"Jiang Qiao, you can't catch fish at this beach—"

Jiang Qiao didn't care about any of that. She waved to the couple and ran out.

Dai Chun smiled and shook his head. "He's still a child, with a childlike mentality. This morning I thought he was very capable, but now he's become a child again."

Let her play. She's probably never been to the beach before; she's just going to join the fun.

When they got home, Zhou Songhai was surprised to see what Jiang Qiao had brought.

"Jiang Qiao gave all of this? That's too much!"

"Who says otherwise? I didn't want it, but the child got angry with me. I had no choice but to take it in. We'll take good care of the child when he comes. Who does Jiang Qiao take after? She doesn't look like Jiang Ping at all."

Speaking of Jiang Qiao, Zhou Songyuan sighed for a while, "I saw Jiang Ping today and also heard about Jiang Qiao's background. That child was picked up by their old lady and has nothing to do with the Jiang family. He told me to tell Jiang Qiao that they went home with the old lady and to be careful."

This time, Dai Chun was dumbfounded. "What? You're saying Jiang Qiao isn't a child of the Jiang family? No wonder! I was wondering why this child is different from the other children of the Jiang family. They're like people from completely different worlds."

When talking about Jiang Ping's family, Dai Chun's tone changed noticeably. They all lived nearby, and although she had never interacted with them, she had heard that the family's children were not very good, and that Jiang Ping's wife was not good at managing a household.

Zhou Songyuan gave a wry smile. "You know, the Jiang family is really too lenient. No matter how capable the child is, she's still just a child. How can they just leave her here like this?"

That old lady is really something. Even after acknowledging her son, she can't forget her granddaughter. It's just different when they're not her biological children. It's just a pity for Jiang Qiao.

Take good care of Jiang Qiao during this time; that little girl is no ordinary person—”

He would have thought the child was pretending to be an adult before, but now that he thinks about it, the child wasn't pretending; he was just doing adult things. It's just that he's young and occasionally letting his true nature show.

In Zhou Songyuan's mind, Jiang Qiao was destined for greatness.

Jiang Qiao had no idea that the couple were talking about her behind her back, nor did she know that Wang Dahua had already taken her family back home.

She's happy now. It was just a chance experiment; she wanted to see if the well water in this space would attract fish. Anyway, she thinks it tastes especially good.

She hadn't expected that after she put her hand into the water, a large school of fish would rush towards her. While she was pleasantly surprised, she was also a little anxious. So many fish! If she could sell them, she could make a lot of money. If only she could store them in her spatial storage.

Unexpectedly, the moment she had this thought, the fish were actually collected into the bucket in her space. Luckily, she had a lot of things inside, enough to hold quite a few fish.

The Zhou family children brought Jiang Qiao fishing purely to have fun. They all grew up by the sea; what kind of fish could they catch in this weather? If they could catch anything, the fish would probably be blind.

But some fish, oblivious to the danger, kept biting their hooks, and the girl standing nearby shouted loudly.

"Fish, so many fish! Jiang Qiao, quickly bring the net, let's catch some fish."

Jiang Qiao had almost finished smuggling the fish across the border, so he quickly grabbed a fishing net and ran over. He saw the Zhou family's children nimbly standing on the rocks and spreading the large net towards the school of fish.

As a result, the children and Jiang Qiao dragged the net ashore together.

"Quick, go find our father, hurry!"

The oldest, Zhou Zhuang, was only seventeen years old. Although he had some strength, this net of fish was a real catch, no doubt about it. The weight was too much for just a few kids to handle.

When Zhou Songyuan and his wife heard from their child that they had caught fish in the net, they were dumbfounded.

"Are there really fish?"

"Yes, Dad, hurry up, my brother and the others can't pull it anymore."

As Dai Chun ran, he wondered, "You can catch fish on the beach like this? This is so strange. I've never encountered anything like it before. If this is true, why bother with boats anymore? We can just catch fish right here on the shore."

Not to mention him, Zhou Songyuan felt the same way. Unfortunately, he wasn't that fish, and he didn't know why these fish came to the shore.

In short, the child got the fish, which is a good thing.

Some villagers who were interested in helping also went to help, and some people, upon hearing about this good thing, ran out of their homes with fishing nets, wanting to get a share of the profits.

Surprisingly, the villagers who brought fishing nets didn't come back empty-handed either. After all, the fish lingered for a long time because of the water in the space, which benefited quite a few people.

Those who didn't get any naturally showed envy and jealousy in their eyes. Why didn't they think of that? Many more people were wondering in their hearts. They had lived by the sea for generations, and no one had ever heard of catching so many fish of different species by casting a net from the shore. They weren't blind; they had been fishing at sea for years, and these fish clearly shouldn't have appeared on the shore.

"Isn't this strange? Is something going to happen? Is this fish giving us a warning?"

Nobody can say for sure. The appearance of this fish is too strange. It's not just what everyone thinks. Zhou Songyuan has the same thought. He asked the children, but none of them knew what happened. The fish just suddenly appeared.

He also noticed the looks in everyone's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then made his decision.

"Everyone, don't rush. It's rare to catch fish at this time of year, so everyone gets a share. The rest will be sold to Jiang Qiao, and each household will share the money. It's not a lot, it's just the idea. Does anyone have any objections?"
