"Chu family girl, you didn't go fishing with your father today."
Chu Yun came back to her senses and saw two ladies in blue headscarves walking towards her. She smiled and replied, "No, have you two ladies had breakfast?"
"I have. Your uncle and his men went out to sea early, so they got up at five and ate."
The two ladies are both native to the island. The people on the island are generally dark-skinned due to the wind and sun, and they have never seen a girl as beautiful and fair-skinned as Chu Yun.
In addition, Chu Yun is pleasing, easy-going and polite, so the two have a good impression of her and usually greet her when they come in and out.
Chu Yun started chatting with them. After chatting about family matters, she casually mentioned, "By the way, aunties, I met our Captain Liang's daughter yesterday. She was dressed very stylishly and looked like a city girl."
When talking about this, the two aunts couldn't help but sigh, and their words were full of envy and a hint of sourness.
"That's right. Captain Liang's wife's family is very capable."
"Tsk tsk, I can't compare to them. The Guo family is getting richer every year. You see, we're all farmers, so how come they get such good things?"
Chu Yun feigned surprise, moved closer out of curiosity, and asked speculatively, "A farmer's fortune has grown? Could it be that they've unearthed some treasure?"
The two aunts were stunned when they heard her words, and then they couldn't help laughing. "There's no treasure in the land. It's the younger brother of Captain Liang's wife, Guo Yu. Guo Yong went into business two years ago and is now making a lot of money. At the beginning of the year, he bought a small Western-style house and a car. The whole family lives in the city."
Chu Yun's eyes twinkled as she echoed, "That's amazing! You're so foresighted! Captain Liang is also very lucky. His family lives outside all year round. It turns out that it's all thanks to his brother-in-law."
It would be fine if we didn't mention this, but the two aunts felt uncomfortable when they mentioned this. "My brother-in-law's family is rich, but my brother-in-law has no money, so how can he benefit from it? Everyone doesn't say it openly. When Guo Yong was able to start his business, Captain Liang gave him a lot of money."
Chu Yun raised her eyebrows. Liang Jianguo was just a captain on the island. Apart from a fixed salary of a few dozen yuan, he had no industry or other income. Where would he get the money to invest?
Chu Yun didn't ask directly, but pretended to sigh: "It takes a lot of money to go into business. The salary of the captain on our island must be very high."
The two aunts looked at each other and chuckled. One of them whispered, "You're just a little girl. The captain's salary is only 40 yuan a month, which is only 400 to 500 yuan a year. I guess you can't even buy a bicycle in your city. How can you have any money?"
Another aunt even leaned over to look around and whispered, "There are quite a few tricks here. Not to mention anything else, he got quite a few places back in the city in the past few years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other aunt's face changed and she quickly pulled her.
The aunt who was speaking immediately slapped her lips, regretting that she had spoken too hastily and revealed these secrets.
After all, Chu Yun's father Chu Qingshan is involved in this. If it really comes to light, Captain Liang will not let go of the person who spread the gossip.
When Chu Yun heard the word "return to the city", she immediately thought of Li Tao. Sure enough, there was a connection here.
However, seeing the two aunts' cautious expressions, she did not continue to ask. Instead, she changed the subject and said with a smile, "Aunt, we don't need bicycles on our island. Riding a boat is much more fun than riding a bicycle."
Seeing that the girl didn't ask any more questions, the two aunts said, "That's right. People from outside can't even get on the boat."
The two of them felt relieved. After all, she was just a little girl, and she might not even understand what it meant to return to the city.
"Chu Yun, the aunts still have to go to the dock to deliver lunch. We can't waste any more time. Let's talk later."
Chu Yun smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, aunts, go quickly."
…
Chu family,
Because they knew the truth last night, the Chu couple were not in a good mood.
Chu Qingshan was weaving a fish basket in the yard, and Li Lihua was washing clothes.
"Fortunately, Xiaoyun analyzed this matter for us, otherwise we would never get out of this life." Chu Qingshan sighed again.
Li Lihua whispered, "Qingshan, why don't I find a way to go out and find some connections with my relatives on my mother's side."
Chu Qingshan stopped what he was doing. What his wife said made sense.
Liang Jianguo had not agreed when he wanted to leave the island before, let alone now.
His wife was an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, so Liang Jianguo could not use that set of constraints. Although he had only approved his wife to visit her family twice in the past 20 years, if she had persisted a little longer, she would have had a better chance than him.
"Okay, you'll go to the brigade in a bit. If you're asked, just say you're going to look for Jinxiu. Mother and daughter have been separated for so many years, and the two children have been swapped. You shed tears and said you wanted to see your child one last time."
Chu Qingshan had long seen through his former daughter. They knew the truth, but the others on the island didn't, and there was nothing they could do at the moment.
This kind of thing is not common, and most people will sympathize when they hear about it. The wife will not be suspicious if she uses this excuse, otherwise she is afraid that the brigade will not release the person.
When Li Lihua heard the name again, she stopped washing clothes.
Naturally, she had loved her daughter as the apple of her eye.
But when she learned how her family treated Xiaoyun, her feelings had already turned into heartbreak.
There is no more fluctuation at the moment. Now I just want to resolve the issue of returning to the city smoothly and return to the city as soon as possible to make up to Xiaoyun.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
As the two were talking, the door creaked open.
Seeing that it was their daughter coming in, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Lihua quickly wiped her hands, stood up and greeted everyone with a smile, "Xiaoyun is back. What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will prepare some food for you in advance."
"Mom, don't worry. We have two pickled fish at home. I'll make grilled fish for you and stir-fry some vegetables."
As Chu Yun spoke, she casually placed the aluminum box on the wooden table outside the yard and put away the clothes that were drying outside the yard.
Chu Qingshan glanced at the aluminum box and asked tentatively, "Xiao Yun went out early in the morning. Did she go to deliver breakfast to Comrade Zhou?"
Comrade Zhou is a handsome man, and his daughter is in her youth and vitality. Besides, she has been rescued by someone before, so it is not surprising that he has a good impression of people.
Chu Yun heard the hidden meaning and smiled helplessly, holding the clothes and explaining: "I'm not asking for help, I'm just asking for some tea eggs and asking for some information."
When Chu Qingshan heard this, he immediately realized that his daughter went out to look for someone so early in the morning, it must be because of what happened last night.
He quickly put down the fish basket, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "It's sunny outside, let's go inside and talk."
Chu Yun nodded, as she also had something to say to her father.
The father and daughter entered the house one after the other.
Li Lihua cautiously went over and closed the gate of the yard. She wanted to go into the house but hesitated for a moment. She simply sat in the yard to wash clothes and help guard the house.
It's different during the day, with more people visiting. Don't let someone overhear what you say when they're not paying attention.
