Chapter 41 I'll Share Half with You
Zhang Chen had actually been paying attention to Xin Li all along.
He saw that Xinli had caught a crab, but seeing that it was very small, he put it back.
He was actually quite surprised. After all, it was rather strange that a young lady like Xin Li, who lived in Shanghai, would know about such a thing.
Thinking that Xin Li was also very good at catching chickens, he realized that Xin Li was definitely not simple.
Then I thought that some of the things about Xinli were actually said by Xu Haiyu, and Xu Haiyu disliked Xinli so much. Maybe Xinli wasn't the kind of person Xu Haiyu was talking about at all?
In that case, he would have to re-evaluate Xinli.
But he did this not to avenge Xu Haiyu.
It was for their own sake.
Zhang Chen prided himself on being an excellent doctor, the only one in the surrounding area, but his act of apologizing to Xin Li made him the laughingstock of many.
Those people didn't say anything on the surface, but they kept talking behind his back. In fact, there were quite a few people on the island who had always disliked him. Now that they finally had a chance to deal with him, those people certainly wouldn't let the opportunity pass them by.
Zhang Chen blamed everything on Xin Li.
If it weren't for Xin Li making him lose face, he wouldn't have had to suffer such humiliation.
Moreover, Zhang Chen always felt that he was the nephew of the island's top leader, and although the relationship was not close, he naturally felt superior to others.
His decision to remain secluded and guard that clinic was also a way of showcasing his "isolation from the world."
He had actually considered using his uncle's connections to start a business.
But my uncle said he wasn't suited for the military.
Although Zhang Chen was resentful, he didn't say anything in the end.
But this has always been a thorn in his side.
He was eager to demonstrate his abilities to his uncle, but aside from his decent medical skills, he didn't have any other special talents.
Over time, he got used to it. In any case, these people had to be very polite to him in order to get treatment, and he thought it was fine.
It was Xinli who insisted on making a scene and disrupting his peace.
Since she insists on causing trouble like this, let her experience what it's like to make a fool of herself and be laughed at.
"You guys need to speed things up."
When Zhang Chen, the referee, suddenly gave this reminder, everyone felt a sense of pressure and immediately started moving.
Now no one paid any attention to what was happening on Xinli's side, and naturally no one noticed that Xinli had disappeared on the sea without a trace.
Zhang Chen lowered his eyes. He knew where people's limits were. He thought, since this was the path Xin Li had chosen herself, he would let Xin Li taste the consequences herself. Once Xin Li had learned her lesson, he would definitely send someone to bail her out.
Hopefully, this will teach Xinli a lesson.
Everyone was busy and no one noticed Zhang Chen's little scheme, nor did anyone know where Xin Li had gone.
On the other side of the reef, Xinli successfully discovered a large crab nest.
She took out her diving gear from her spatial storage and started catching crabs while putting it on.
These crabs are several sizes larger than the ones those people just caught.
Perhaps because no one comes here for the time being, the seafood here is actually more abundant.
Xinli carefully surveyed the terrain and realized that no one came here because people at that time did not have such advanced diving skills.
Furthermore, there are no diving tools available, and even if they were, they would be too expensive for everyone to have one, so dangerous places have not yet been explored.
Xin Li is different. Her space contains things from Shanghai, which is much more developed than this place, so there are many things that people here have never seen before.
Xinli can stay underwater for a long time with the help of diving equipment.
She didn't plan to take the crabs back directly, as that would arouse suspicion, so she put all the crabs she caught into her spatial storage.
Then it slowly swam back.
When the others saw Xinli suddenly emerge from the seawater, looking covered in dirt, they guessed that she probably couldn't swim and had drunk her fill of water.
"How was it, Xinli? How many crabs did you catch?"
Xinli bit her lip, glanced at the person, and silently swam towards her own rock.
The others initially laughed at the scene, but then they felt that it was a bit wrong to bully a girl like that. So they looked at each other, and one of them, feeling sorry for Xinli, wanted to call her over, but Zhang Chen interrupted him again.
"If you've caught them all, come over here first so I can count them."
For the sake of winning, the others gritted their teeth and went directly to Zhang Chen.
Seeing this, the others also sighed and took their crabs back.
More and more people are walking towards the shore.
One honest and kind man couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up his bucket and walked towards Xinli.
"Hey Sanzi, where are you going?"
Sanzi was also a native of the island. He was quiet and reserved, and at first everyone thought he was mute.
Later, they discovered that he was just quiet, but he was very efficient at his work, so they kept him around to have an extra helper.
Sanzi was also a hard worker. Although everyone treated him like an ox, he always seemed to have inexhaustible strength. Over time, everyone stopped bullying him.
The three of them didn't actually want to make the bet earlier.
But he was pulled back by the person next to him, and since he wasn't a talkative person to begin with, he could only agree by remaining silent.
The others didn't like to take his opinions anyway, so the bet started.
"I'll order her some crab."
The third son spoke, his tone incredibly somber.
"Are you alright? This is your and your grandma's food for the next few days. Are you really going to give it all to Xinli? What if you don't have enough and lose? Have you thought it through?"
The three remained silent and continued walking forward.
The others, seeing how foolish he was, didn't bother with him anymore.
"Let's go first. Anyway, Sanzi caught quite a lot, so I don't think we can lose."
The others agreed and turned to leave.
As Xinli was stuffing all the crabs into a hole, she suddenly noticed someone behind her and quickly turned around.
The three children were surprised by Xin Li's sharp perception and were startled by her sudden turn.
"you……"
Xin Li frowned: "Who are you?"
The three boys suddenly met Xin Li's face, which was so dazzling it was like the sun that they dared not look directly at her, and their faces turned red from their ears to the roots of their necks.
“I…I am called Sanzi.”
Xinli was speechless.
What a strange name.
But she didn't ask any more questions, and nodded, saying, "Did you go to the wrong place? Zhang Chen is over there."
Sanzi glanced at Xinli, then reached out and handed her his bucket: "I'll share half with you."
Xinli paused as she was about to turn around.
"ah?"
"Are you going to share your crabs with me?"
Yes, yes.
Sanzi said, "I can't let you win, but with these crabs, you shouldn't lose."
