Chapter 82: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Xiong Kai's face turned pale and blue as he watched Liu Tiechui leave angrily. He felt upset and a little embarrassed.
He couldn't understand how Liu Tiechui knew that it was a pregnant doe, even though he had clearly already eaten the baby in the doe's belly.
Shen Yi, who followed Liu Tiechui away, had the same doubt in his mind, "Mr. Town Official, how did you know that the deer was pregnant?"
Liu Tiechui was in a bad mood, but he still patiently answered Shen Yi's question carefully, "I have been hunting in the mountains since I was a child. What kind of prey have I not seen? That venison is wrong at first glance, shameless!"
The more Liu Tiechui talked, the angrier he became. He suddenly looked at Shen Yi, "Do you know that person just now?"
Shen Yi honestly told the story of his dispute with Xiong Kaimo's family.
Liu Tiechui was furious after hearing this. "I was right. You are a good person. But Xiong Kai is so ungrateful and can do anything. Be careful of him in the future."
"What the town official said is absolutely right. Although I don't cause trouble, I'm not afraid of it either."
As they were talking, they arrived at Liu's house.
The concierge helped Shen Yi get the fish off the donkey cart, and looked shocked, "Master Shen, you are really amazing, how did you catch such a big fish?"
Liu Tiechui grinned and asked, "How much are these fish worth?"
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and said with clear eyes: "This is the first time I sell such a big fish, the town official will decide for you."
Liu Tiechui didn't bother to be polite with him. After asking the doorman to pack the fish, he took out a money bag and gave it to Shen Yi. "I have seen big fish weighing seven or eight kilograms in the county, and they are sold for two and a half taels each. Carp weighing four or five kilograms are sold for one tael each. To be honest, this is the biggest one. I have traveled all over the country and have never seen such a big one. How about five taels of silver?"
Shen Yi readily agreed, “Just do as the town official wishes.”
Liu Tiechui's smile deepened. "Okay! Next time you get something good, just send it to me. If I need it, I will definitely not let you down."
"Thank you, town official." Shen Yi took the silver and left.
Ma Yujie heard that the family had bought a lot of fish, so she ran to the kitchen to see the novelty. When she saw the carp weighing more than ten kilograms, her mouth opened wide instantly, "Husband, where did you get such a big fish?"
Liu Tiechui squatted down and looked at the big fish with burning eyes, and said: "I bought it from Shen Yi of Shenjiazhuang. It's the one we dug the well with before. Remember?"
Ma Yujie covered her face and chuckled, "How could I not remember? He was a capable man! I didn't expect that Master Shen was not only good at digging wells, but also good at fishing! He really helped a lot this time."
Seven days later was the birthday of the county magistrate Liang Shiqiu's father. The old man was a very particular person and particularly liked eating fish. He had said early on that there must be a large, intact fish at the birthday banquet.
However, the rivers in Zhaohua County were formed by snow water from the Tianshan Mountains and could not raise big fish. The county magistrate sent people to look for it and heard that the largest fish they bought was only four or five kilograms. The old man was very disappointed. The county magistrate had to remember a favor for their family because they sent the fish over.
Liu Tiechui nodded with a smug smile, "The rest of the fish will be saved as gifts for the New Year, just right."
The Liu family was happy because they got the fish, and Shen Yi was also happy because he successfully earned thirty taels of silver.
He had never thought that making money was so easy before, and he even had some friendship with the town officials, all of which were brought to him by his wife.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi turned his donkey around and went to the silver shop in the town.
Unexpectedly, we met Xiong Kai and his group here again.
Xiong Kai was arguing with Mo Chunxiang, and when he saw Shen Yi, he spat on the ground in anger, "The ghost is still there."
Seeing that there was only a thatched mat left on Shen Yi's ox cart, and all the things were gone, Mo Laotian looked envious, "Have you sold all the things?"
Chen Yi didn't want to pay attention to this group of people, but he also didn't want to be pointed at, so he nodded slightly with a very cold attitude.
Mo Chunxiang got angry when she saw his expression, and said to Mo Laotian in a bad mood: "Dad, no one takes you seriously, why do you lower yourself to talk to such an unlucky person!"
"Heh! Who are you scolding?" Han rushed forward angrily and pulled Mo Chunxiang hard.
Mo Chunxiang frowned in pain, "Where did this crazy woman come from!"
"Mother-in-law! Why are you here?" Shen Yi's cold expression cracked and he quickly jumped off the donkey cart.
Han put her hands on her hips and glared at Mo Chunxiang, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you were bullied. Bah! How dare a bunch of shameless people scold you, you bitch!"
Although she didn't know Mo Chunxiang, she knew Xiong Kai and Mo Laotian. Combined with the way Mo Chunxiang addressed Mo Laotian just now, she immediately guessed who she was.
Mo Chunxiang's face turned red with anger. "You old woman, you dare to scold me! I will fight you!"
Mo Chunxiang was not afraid at all because Xiong Kai and Mo Laotian were by her side.
Han yelled at the top of her voice, "Su Chunlin, your wife is being bullied!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chunlin and a group of people rushed out from the cloth shop opposite and stood behind Han in a menacing manner.
Song Yongnian's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Yi, "Brother Shen, you are here to the market too? But did you bring your sister-in-law with you?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "It's cold, she doesn't like to come out."
Han said, "Just now your elder brother Shen was scolded by this bitch. We are in numbers, so we can beat them to death!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, don't do it. We were wrong in this matter. We have apologized to Chen Yi. Let's talk it out nicely." Mo Laotian walked forward with a pale face and pulled Mo Chunxiang behind him.
Seeing so many people on the other side, Mo Chunxiang did not dare to continue to curse at Han. She turned around and yelled at Xiong Kai angrily: "They scolded me and you didn't protect me? I wanted a silver hairpin and you were still making excuses. Are you still my man?"
Xiong Kai frowned fiercely, thinking of the grand scene when the Su family married their daughter, and then thinking of Su Tai's dowry, his face became even uglier, and he pulled Mo Chunxiang into the silver shop without saying a word.
Seeing the other party just leave like that, Han felt as if he had punched cotton. "Hey! You can't win and just run away. How shameless!"
Xiong Kai was just about to step over the threshold when he almost tripped when he heard this.
Han felt relieved now, and turned to ask Chen Yi, "Are you coming to town to sell or buy things?"
Shen Yi replied respectfully, "I sold some fish and was planning to come to the Silver Shop to buy some jewelry for Xiao Tai."
When Han heard this, she looked at Chen Yi with more loving eyes, "Xiao Tai brought so many jewelry as a dowry, why would she need to buy more?"
"As long as Xiaotai likes it, would you like to go in and take a look together, father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Shen Yi invited.
The two shook their heads, "No, we still have to help Yongnian choose the material! By the way, Chen Yi, do you have any cotton cloth? The cloth shop owner is too shabby, he raised the price of one foot of fine linen to fifty-five coins, and it's not as warm and comfortable as cotton cloth, and it doesn't look good either."
Shen Yi nodded and said to Song Yongnian: "Go to Shenjiazhuang to find me later. I will prepare whatever material you want for you."
"Thank you, Brother Shen." Song Yongnian looked grateful.
