Chapter 26 Two Thick Stacks of Money
"Mom, come here." Zhou Chenglei called out to his mother as soon as he parked the boat.
"What are you doing?" Zhou's mother was in a bad mood and responded unhappily. She was about to walk over, but Jiang Xia was carrying a bucket to pick up some shrimps and blocked her way. She was annoyed and said unhappily, "Make way!"
Why are you standing here like a log? You say you are educated, but you are not smart at all! Jiang Xia didn't argue with her, because she would be the one who would be embarrassed later.
Mother Zhou walked up to Zhou Chenglei and said in an even more impatient tone, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Chenglei took out a large stack of money from his trouser pocket and handed it to his mother: "Mom, keep it first, don't drop it."
Tian Caihua looked at the thick stack of money and her eyes widened: "Where did this money come from?"
Could it be the private money of the two elders? Zhou Chenglei said calmly: "The money from selling fish today."
After tying up the boat, Zhou's father returned to the boat and took out a large stack of money and handed it to Zhou's mother: "I still have some here, you take it first and give it to A Lei when you get back. Don't lose it. I'll move the goods."
Tian Caihua's eyes almost popped out: "Is this also the money from selling fish today?"
How could there be so much? Zhou's mother held a large stack of money in one hand, her hands shaking: "Is this the money from selling fish today? This, this much?"
What kind of fish did you catch today? A fish made of gold? Zhou's father: "Where did you get the money from selling the fish today? We went directly to the city dock to sell the fish before returning, so there is not much on the boat."
After saying that, he glanced at Tian Caihua and said, "Feudal superstition is not good. I have taken your mother out to sea before, and it was fine, wasn't it?"
This eldest daughter-in-law is hardworking, but she is too narrow-minded.
Mother Zhou said hurriedly: "Yes, your father also secretly took me out to sea before."
Tian Caihua smiled awkwardly: "So he went to the city dock to sell fish. Dad didn't tell me earlier. You're right. Feudal superstition is not good. Haha."
The villagers were stunned when they saw the two thick stacks of big unity notes, and they were secretly estimating how much money was in such a thick stack.
"Yongfu, what kind of fish did you sell to make so much money?"
"You've encountered a school of fish! And it's not just any ordinary school of fish. It's comparable to a large ship sailing far out to sea!"
Father Zhou glanced at Zhou Bingqiang and the others and said with a smile, "We encountered a few schools of fish, so we went directly to the city dock to sell them before coming back. Alas, if we hadn't come back early and dragged another net, we would have definitely made an extra 100 or 200 yuan. I regret not listening to my daughter-in-law and dragged another net. By the way, why is she so good at shipping?"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Bingqiang again. Humph, you little bastard, will you be unlucky if you take a woman out to sea? I made two thousand today!
Zhou Bingqiang: “…”
"You can earn two hundred with one net? What kind of fish did you encounter? What kind of fish can be sold for so much money? This must be two or three thousand, right?"
Father Zhou replied cheerfully, "It's not as much as three or two thousand. How can it be so exaggerated! It's only about two thousand! We came back too early. We arrived at the city dock after four o'clock. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to my daughter-in-law and dragged another net. That would have been enough for two thousand."
Almost two thousand!!! Some people gasped.
Their family savings are less than two thousand!
Zhou Bingqiang didn't believe it: "You are just bragging! The big ships that go out to sea don't make as much as you do. Did you get gold?"
Father Zhou glanced at him and said, "Do I need to brag? Go to the city dock tomorrow and ask if anyone has sold several hundred kilograms of croaker and yellow croaker today. Then you will know if I am bragging or not!"
"What? You encountered a school of garfish and yellow croaker!"
Zhou Bingqiang still didn't believe it: "Impossible! Schools of mullets are rare here. I've been fishing all my life and I've only seen someone encounter one once. You encountered a school of mullets and a school of yellow croaker at the same time? The sea is your fish pond, you can catch whatever you want? You're just bragging!"
At this time, a boat approached and shouted, "Zhou Yongfu, I told you that your boat is the one that sells croaker and yellow croaker in the city! The news spread all over the city docks. You caught a boatload of croaker and yellow croaker, and even encountered a school of Spanish mackerel! I heard you made thousands of dollars! What kind of shitty luck do you have!"
Today he encountered a school of mackerels and caught over a thousand kilograms of mackerels, so he also went to the city dock.
I thought I was lucky enough, but I didn't expect that someone would encounter a school of yellow croaker, grouper, and swordfish at the same time!
On weekdays, we are lucky to encounter a school of fish once.
Encountering three waves of fish in one day, is this like running into the arms of the God of Wealth?
The villagers were shocked: "What? We encountered schools of garfish, yellow croaker, and mackerel? Is that true?"
"You made several thousand? That old man Zhou Yongfu said he made less than two thousand! I knew he was lying! Two stacks of money that thick! It must be more than two thousand!"
Zhou Bingqiang: “…”
He actually encountered a school of garfish and yellow croaker? This is a once-in-a-century chance, right? Why didn't he go to heaven?
Father Zhou looked very proud: "Haha... You said I was lucky, but how could I be so lucky! Today is all thanks to my daughter-in-law. She got off to a good start as soon as she went out to sea. She discovered this school of fish. She is good at shipping. I am not lying. It's not several thousand, less than two thousand, really!"

"I don't believe it's less than 2,000! Okay, everyone in the city said you made thousands, don't deny it! Tell me how you encountered the school of garfish and yellow croaker? Where did you encounter them? I'll go there tomorrow too!"
"Yeah! Where did you meet him? I want to go too."
…
The villagers around were curious and asked how they encountered the schools of yellow croaker and grouper.
They want to see it, too! Zhou's father described the incident vividly, "As soon as we went out to sea today, my daughter-in-law heard the call of the yellow croaker. When I heard her describe the sound, my heart was lifted. Isn't that the call of the yellow croaker? I immediately drove the boat at full speed. As we approached, we saw a golden glow. I was so excited that I almost had a heart attack..."
"We just caught the big yellow croaker and asked A Lei to lower the net. My daughter-in-law called out again, saying that there was a red area over there and whether there were fish. I immediately moved forward at full speed. Oh my god, there was a sea of red croakers. Haha, I knew that prosperous days were coming! I wish I had ten pairs of hands..."
At the end, Zhou's father looked at Zhou Bingqiang and the others and added: "Fortunately, I didn't believe you and didn't take Xiaoxia out to sea today, otherwise I would have missed out on the big yellow croaker and the croaker! I wouldn't have made the two thousand dollars!"
Zhou Bingqiang and others: "..."
Zhou Bingqiang was unhappy to see his father getting carried away with pride, so he said with a fake smile: "Then I wish you good luck every day, good luck for the rest of your life, and prosperity for the rest of your life!"
He just doesn't believe that he will be so lucky next time!
Father Zhou: "Thank you, I appreciate your kind words! I also wish you good luck like today every day, and for the rest of your life!"
Zhou Bingqiang was so angry that he turned around and left.
He originally thought that he was lucky to earn 200 yuan today, but compared with the 2,000 yuan Zhou Yongfu earned, he didn't think so! Tian Caihua glanced at Jiang Xia with mixed feelings.
I made so much money the day after the separation.
Doesn’t her family get a share of the two thousand yuan?
If I had known this earlier, we would have separated one day later.
