Chapter 422 Unbelievable
The thing people fear most is not recognizing their own identity and position!
Do what suits your position.
Zhou Chengsen said a few sarcastic words to Li Qingmin, then went to Zhou Chenglei's fishing boat to help unload the fish.
Basket after basket of golden pomfret were carried off the boat, it was another day of envy and jealousy.
Although golden pomfret is not as expensive as silver pomfret, there are so many of them, so even if they are sold at a low price, it will still cost a lot of money!
And now that it is near the end of the year, dried fish is also in great demand.
Jiang Xia was about to get off the boat to line up at the purchasing office when he saw Zhou Chengsen getting on the boat. He smiled and greeted him, "Second brother."
Zhou Chengsen responded with a smile, and then asked Zhou Chenglei: "Are you going to dry all these golden pomfret or sell them directly?"
My fourth brother used to give away a lot of dried fish every year, but I don’t know if he will do the same this year.
Zhou Chenglei: "Drying fish."
It's the end of the year, and he has to give gifts to many people. It won't be good if the gifts are too expensive, so some local specialties are just a token of his thoughtfulness.
He is from a fishing village, and dried fish is a local specialty of his hometown.
Zhou's mother: "Then I'll find someone to kill the fish."
Zhou Chenglei said to his father: "Dad, can you go back and drive the tractor over here?"
"Okay, I'll drive it." Father Zhou carried a basket of fish off the boat and went back to drive the tractor.
Li Xiuxian prepared the meal in the old house. When she saw Zhou's father coming back to drive the tractor, she put the meal in the pot to heat it up, and got on Zhou's father's tractor to the dock.
She wanted to see if she had caught much fish today.
Then as soon as I arrived, I saw Zhou Chengsen moving fish on Zhou Chenglei's boat.
Her heart ached.
Is there no work for him to do on the family's fishing boat?
She walked on the beach, one foot deep and one foot shallow, towards her fishing boat. She met Zhou Chengsen who was carrying a basket of fish off the boat. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Have you sold all the fish on our boat?"
Zhou Chengsen: "No, Dad and eldest brother are moving."
Li Xiuxian: "Then why did you come here?"
It's so infuriating!
Is there no work to do at home?
He was so eager to help others! Zhou Chengsen: "The boat at home didn't catch much fish. After I moved everything, what did they do?"
Li Xiuxian: “…”
Zhou Chengsen put the fish on the ground, turned around and went back to the boat to continue moving it.
Each person was paid five dollars a day, and ten dollars was paid every day. Is it so easy to make ten dollars? So he didn't move, and came to help his brother.
Big brother invited a lot of people and there aren’t many fish, so he doesn’t need any help.
A Lei needs help only because he has a boat full of fish.
And if he didn't come to help Alei, his parents would have to do more. He was not only helping his brothers, but also his parents.
Li Xiuxian watched him return to the boat and carry down another basket of fish, and felt that sooner or later she would get so angry that she would have a heart attack.
She walked towards her own fishing boat.
Father Li and Li Qingmin had already moved all the fish down and were planning to take them to the purchasing office.
Li Xiuxian was about to climb onto her family's fishing boat: "How many fish are there on the boat?"
Li Qingmin: “It’s gone!”
Li Xiuxian looked at the baskets of fish on the ground in disbelief: "Gone?"
Let alone compare with the fourth room! These few baskets of fish are not even half of the first room’s boat! Li Qingmin: “Yes! We only dragged three nets today, so we didn’t catch much fish.”
Father Li explained: "In the afternoon, the three families went to the sea together, so we didn't drag the net in the afternoon. We only dragged it for an hour on the way back. The time was too short, and there were not many fish in that net."
Li Qingmin: "How could three families go fishing together? A-lei and his wife didn't go fishing! They went trawl, and that's how they caught so many golden pomfret."
Li Xiuxian said unhappily, "Zhou Chenglei and the others all know to go trawling, why don't you go? What can you pick up by trawling the sea?"
Li Qingmin: "We all agreed to go fishing together, but when we got there, only my father-in-law and mother-in-law got off the boat, and they drove their own boat to haul the nets!"
Father Li: "Okay! Stop talking! Your mother is waiting in line at the purchasing counter, hurry up and pick the fish over! It's almost her turn!"
Li Xiuxian took a look and saw that it was almost her turn: "Mom is going out to sea today too?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Father Li picked up a load of fish and left: "Yes, your mother and your sister-in-law also went out to sea to catch fish today."
Li Xiuxian also picked up the smallest load and followed.
When they arrived at the purchasing office, the family sold the fish.
Li Xiuxian looked at her mother and sister-in-law holding 11.87 yuan, and she was stunned when she held 29.4 yuan!
Ten dollars out of her twenty-nine and forty dollars was her father and brother's salary, not to mention the gas fee!
"How much gas did you put in today?"
Li Qingmin: "I added 15 yuan today. Today I went to the bay near the mangroves in the west. It's quite far away, so I added a little more oil. There should be a lot of oil left."
In fact, it was only fourteen dollars more, just one or two dollars more for gas, who knows! Knowing that, will his sister still argue with him? Li Xiuxian counted out twenty-six dollars for Li Qingmin, and then she only had more than three dollars left in her hand! It's unbelievable! Her father and her eldest brother earn more than those who have boats? Seeing her daughter's ugly face, Li's mother smiled and said, "Today, your father, your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law and I went to the sea together. We picked up a lot of scallops, conchs and octopuses, and sold them for more than ten dollars! And your eldest brother was lucky today and caught a big mackerel. He made more than twenty dollars a day, which I never dared to think about before!"
"You are filial and know how to take care of the family. You pay your father and brother a high salary and let them sell the fish they catch to make money. Unlike your second sister, who has no conscience, she gives me and your father five dollars every month, like a great gift from heaven!"
Li Xiuxian was in no mood to listen, and said directly to Li Qingmin: "Brother, I don't object to you taking mom and sister-in-law out to sea to catch fish, but don't skip hauling nets just for catching fish. I didn't buy this boat for catching fish! You see, the couple in Jiangxia knew to let my parents-in-law go to catch fish, and they went to haul nets themselves. You can catch fish on the beach in the village if you want to?"
Li Qingmin was a little unhappy when he heard this, "It was your parents-in-law, your brother-in-law and your uncle who said they were going to the beach today, so we went!"
Li Xiuxian wanted to say something, but Father Li hurriedly said, "You're right. Next time, I won't delay trawling to catch fish! Yesterday's income was good, and I gave all the money to your mother-in-law."
There were people all around, and Li Xiuxian didn't want to start a quarrel. She couldn't afford to lose face. "I'll go see if my brother-in-law and the others need any help."
Then she walked away! She didn't even call her family to eat! She was so angry! She was so angry that her heart ached!
She looked at Jiang Xia who was selling fish not far away and walked towards Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia and her grandmother were chatting and laughing with the people from the purchasing department. No one knew what they were talking about, but they were laughing very happily.
At her feet were baskets of fish. Others would move the fish to the big scale at the purchasing office to weigh them, but she had the people at the purchasing office move the scale directly to her to weigh her fish.
Parents-in-law are still the best. Look how comfortable Jiangxia’s life is with the help of parents-in-law.
Her mother-in-law took care of her three or four meals a day at home, and her father-in-law helped the couple go out to the sea, helping them to drag the nets and go fishing.
Big money, small money, whatever money was earned by the couple! She even regretted agreeing to let her brother keep the money from the sale of the fish they caught.
The whole family spent the whole afternoon fishing, only caring about making money and not caring about her life or death!
