Chapter 60: Quarrel

Wen Wan shouted so loudly that everyone in the yard was looking at her.

Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia's hand tightly and refused to let go. They both turned around and looked at her.

Wen Wan's face was a little hot, but she thought that with so many people around, Zhou Chenglei couldn't refuse her, so she said, "Brother Zhou, can I go out to sea with you tomorrow?"

Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei: "I won't go out to sea tomorrow."

Wen Wan's smile froze, "Is that so? What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Why?" Zhou Chenglei did not respond.

Going out to sea is risky, and he won't help anyone without a compelling reason.

"I haven't earned enough money for my tuition yet, so I want to go fishing to earn some money. Brother Zhou, I'll give you half of the money I make from selling fish, so you don't have to ride on your boat for nothing."

Zhou Chenglei refused directly: "No, just fish on the rocky cliffs by the sea."

This reason couldn't convince him to help her.

The situation at sea changes rapidly and it is very risky to go out to sea. If something happens, almost everyone will lose their lives. He doesn't want to end up hurting others by helping them.

Besides, she was fishing on the boat? When she couldn't catch any fish, he couldn't help her.

Zhou Chenglei will help others, but this is not helping, it is asking for trouble.

Wen Wan tried hard to force a smile and looked like she was about to cry, "But it's hard to catch fish by the sea, and the fish you catch are very small, so you can't sell them for much money."

Zhou Chenglei didn't say anything. This was none of his business.

"Brother Zhou, I only need ten dollars. I'll trouble you only once. The fish caught in the sea are big. I saw Sister Jiang Xia catch so many..."

"You are not her." Zhou Chenglei replied casually, pulled Jiang Xia back to the room, too lazy to talk nonsense.

Wen Wan: “…”

What does he mean? The cousin's aunt heard this and said, "Alei, Xiaowan has a hard time. She earns money to support her studies. Please help her!"

Zhou's mother liked Wen Wan very much. This child was diligent and hardworking. She wanted to tell her about her to her nephew, so she said, "A Lei, our boat is big enough, you can take Xiao Wan with you!"

Zhou Chenglei still didn't respond: "It's inconvenient."

He pulled Jiang Xia back to the room.

Jiang Xia suddenly thought of a plot in the book, where Wen Wan was begging people to take her out to sea at the dock. Her father had a severe toothache and wanted to eat mussels to relieve the heat. Her stepmother knew that she had money and asked her to buy some. The heroine was reluctant to spend money, so she wanted to go to the island to find mussels.

All the mussels on the seashore have been picked up by the villagers, but there are still many on the isolated islands in the sea where few people go.

However, the author's setting is that the villagers in this village are superstitious and think it is not good to take women out to sea, so no one is willing to help her.

Zhou's father helped her after learning the reason, and then one thing led to another. The heroine often went out to sea on the hero's family's boat throughout the holiday, and the relationship between the hero and heroine gradually developed.

Jiang Xia was pulled back to the room by Zhou Chenglei.

There was a threshold in the room, and she was thinking and not paying attention, so she tripped.

Zhou Chenglei supported her: "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Xia shook his head, "No, pull me in, what do you want to tell me?"

"We won't go out to sea tomorrow. I'll take you to the city." Zhou Chenglei said as he walked to the cabinet and took out the money from today's fish sales.

Jiang Xia didn't understand why he suddenly went to the city, so he asked tentatively: "To visit my parents?"

What day is tomorrow? Is it the birthday of one of the original owner's parents? Without the original owner's memory, it would be troublesome.

"No, other things. If there is time, I will go to see my parents." Zhou Chenglei handed a thick stack of money to Jiang Xia: "This is the money from selling fish, keep it."

"Why is there so much?" Jiang Xia took it and counted it carefully. "More than a thousand yuan? For me?"

"Yes, yours."

"Why are you giving me so much? I only need today's share. Are you giving me the money for the two days you and your father went out to sea together? No need. I didn't go out the first two times."

Zhou Chenglei wanted to give her the money, but she divided it so clearly, so he said, "You take it first! Go to the city tomorrow and buy whatever you want for your family."

"That doesn't need to be so much."

Zhou Chenglei: "Just keep it for now. I'll go get you some water to take a shower. I'll go help dad cut bamboo later."

Zhou's father went to cut bamboo. So many golden pomfret needed to be hung up to dry in the sun, but there was not enough bamboo at home.

Zhou Chenglei opened the door and walked out, unexpectedly seeing Tian Caihua standing outside the door.

Zhou Chenglei frowned. If it weren't for his poor hearing, he would have noticed someone approaching.

"Is there something wrong, sister-in-law?" His voice was a little cold.

Jiang Xia quickly stuffed the money into the drawer, frowned, and turned to stare at Tian Caihua.

What kind of quality?

Tian Caihua didn't feel embarrassed at all when she was caught eavesdropping. It wasn't her fault. She said calmly, "I just got here. I'm here to discuss something with you. Your elder brother and I have something to do and can't go out to sea the day after tomorrow. I want to switch with you tomorrow. How about we go out to sea tomorrow and you go the day after tomorrow?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Something is false. She feels that tomorrow is a good day, but the day after tomorrow is not, so she wants to change them.

She found that the days when it was Zhou Chenglei's turn to go out to sea were particularly good.

Zhou Chenglei: "Okay."

It just so happened that he was going to take Jiang Xia to the city to see a doctor tomorrow for treatment. It would take three days to get clean. He didn't know if it was normal. He remembered that those female soldiers took menstrual leave for several days. He didn't pay attention to the exact number of days, but it seemed to be more than three days, and her complexion was really bad during those three days.

Zhou Chenglei thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law, next time you come to see me, please let me know in advance and knock on the door, don't just stand outside the door without saying anything."

Tian Caihua was upset when she heard this. Did he treat her as his elder sister-in-law? She said angrily, "I told you I just arrived, and you opened the door! Did you think I was eavesdropping?"

Jiang Xia said unhappily, "Besides not eavesdropping, please don't tell anyone about my family's affairs. Last time, you told the neighbors about the conch pearl, and the whole family came to our house to steal the pearl!"

Tian Caihua was also angry. What was Jiang Xia's attitude like? Who was she? How dare she show off in front of her? She sarcastically said, "What do you mean by your family's business? Am I talking about your family's business? Is this your home? Don't forget, you and A Lei have already agreed to divorce! You are just a tenant! What's the big deal about not leaving? What do you care about when I go out? Do you really think you are the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family? Or do you see A Lei making so much money at sea and giving it all to you, but you are reluctant to leave him..."

Zhou Chenglei shouted: "Sister-in-law!"

Tian Caihua was startled and looked at Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei's eyes were cold, and his tone was low and cold: "Sister-in-law, we are not divorced. Jiang Xia is my daughter-in-law, my home is her home, and the money I earn is hers, so it is only right for me to give it to her. Please be a little more respectful to her, otherwise don't blame me for not treating you as my sister-in-law."

These words were very harsh and merciless! He didn't want to quarrel with his sister-in-law, but her words were too hurtful.

Tian Caihua was furious. No one respected her and didn't treat her as the eldest sister-in-law. And they wanted her to respect Jiang Xia?

She said sarcastically, "Yes! She is your wife. I was wrong, okay? I was wrong. She won't stay here because she doesn't want to be with you, a fishmonger. She was just on the boat wondering when your household registration will be transferred back so she can get a divorce! You treat her like a treasure and give her all the money from selling fish! You are a fool! Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about your family's affairs in the future!"

After saying this, Tian Caihua walked out with a dark face.

I'm so angry! No one respects her!

When he reached the yard, he didn't kill the fish, but shouted to Zhou Chengxin: "Zhou Chengxin, go home and work!"

After shouting, she went straight home without caring about the people in the yard who were looking at her in confusion.

The good thing about the big yard is that even if the people in the house quarrel, no one can hear them, and the stone walls are also good at soundproofing, but that’s also because they don’t quarrel very loudly.

Zhou Chengxin was completely confused.

Mother Zhou frowned and said to her eldest son, "Go back! Maybe there is something urgent."

Zhou Chengxin was also worried, so he quickly washed his hands and chased after him.

Wen Wan watched Tian Caihua leave, then looked around the room, feeling that she and Jiang Xia were having a conflict. She covered her stomach with her hands and said, "My stomach suddenly hurts a little, I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, she washed her hands and went out.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei were the only ones left in the room.
