Li Xiuxian couldn't bear to hear these words. Every time she heard them, her heart ached and she couldn't sleep at night.
She hurried to the purchasing office, bought two pounds of small fish at a price of one cent per pound, and left.
Someone saw her buying fish and whispered, "Li Xiuxian has missed out on a great opportunity this time. Zhou Chengsen is tall, good-looking, has a respectable job, makes a lot of money, and her parents-in-law are not mean people. I don't understand what she is thinking! Liao Ruixiang is not as good-looking as Asen!"
"But Liao Ruixiang made much more money than Zhou Chengsen when he opened a breeding farm!"
"What a waste of time! Aren't you getting divorced now?! I used to live a good life with Asen. Both of us were employees. We didn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives. Isn't it good to live a stable life? Besides, Asen is making a lot of money now. I heard that he made more than 100,000 yuan from that batch of mussels. It's not worse than raising pigs!"
"In the end, Li Xiuxian is not destined to be rich and prosperous. She is not blessed! She is not destined to enjoy happiness!"
"She deserves it! She married such good men twice but she didn't know how to cherish them."
"Liao Ruixiang is not good, right?"
"Why not? He's so rich! If my man was that rich, I wouldn't care how many vixens he had out there, as long as he gave me living expenses every month!"

Three cars drove along the coastal village road towards the village. There were coconut trees on both sides of the road, white sandy beaches and the blue sea in the distance.
There are a few white clouds hanging in the sky and countless seagulls are flying over the sea.
The beautiful scene of the sea and sky is so refreshing!
Everyone in the Ruan family was shocked.
Is this the countryside?
When did the countryside become so beautiful?
When did rural roads become so well built?
In the car, Mr. Ruan saw that the roads from the city to the town and then to the village were all concrete roads, and he couldn't help but say, "Your village is developing well!"
Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were also a little surprised. This completely refreshed their understanding of the countryside.
The roads in this village are cleaner than those in the city!
Ruan's aunt was also surprised: "It's only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and the development here has been so fast?"
Gao Jie: "The development here is really fast. Haven't you seen how many high-rise buildings there are in the city? And how many are under construction? Last year, when the tallest building was topped out, the newspaper reported that the tallest building only took three days to build a floor, and it was completed in more than thirty months."
The tallest building is the one that Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia invested in before, and it was completed this year. Zhou Chenglei also attended the completion ceremony on the day he returned.
Mr. Ruan asked again: "The roads in this village are all concrete roads. Is this village already urbanized? It's not a rural village anymore, right?"
In Mr. Ruan’s memory, most of the rural roads were primitive dirt roads. How could there be concrete roads in front of every house?
Ruan Tang: "No, the main road was built by Xiao Xia's grandfather, and the other small roads were built by the production team, so there are concrete roads in front of every house. This village is a fishing village, and the production team is relatively wealthy."
When Ruan Tang's cousin Gu Ling heard this, she asked, "What does your future sister-in-law's grandfather do?"
He actually paid for the village to build a road? How rich does he have to be?
Isn’t it said that the other party’s father is a city leader?
Ruan Tang: "He does business in Hong Kong Island."
Gu Ling thought: No wonder, he is the big boss of Hong Kong Island.
However, my sister-in-law's family is rich and has little to do with Ruan Tang.
She felt a little relieved.
She knew that Ruan Tang had a sister-in-law whose family background was very good and people were willing to marry their daughters to the countryside.
Of course, she also knew that the other party was willing to do so because when they got engaged, Ruan Tang's brother-in-law had not yet retired from the army and had a bright future in the military.
Later, the other party became deaf. The girl's father was a high-ranking leader, and it was not easy to cancel the engagement since he was so prominent. After all, the marriage report had been submitted and was waiting for approval. It would have a bad impact to cancel the engagement at this time, and it was not something that could be canceled just because one wanted to.
Soon the car arrived at Zhou's house.
There were a lot of cars, so we didn’t drive into the alley and parked in an open space on the side of the road.
When the car was ready and the entire Ruan family got out, Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang took them to two brand new buildings.
Only then did they believe what Ruan Tang said: Zhou Chengsen's family was well off and that he had built a house in the village, and that living in the village was more comfortable than living in the city.
This feeling was especially strengthened after Ruan Tang and Zhou Chengsen brought their family into the house to tour it.
At this moment, the whole family is on the second floor.
Gu Ling looked at the room full of European-style leather furniture and thought to herself: Ruan Tang said that Zhou Chengsen's family is well-off, but it's more than just well-off!
All the furniture and appliances in this room would cost tens of thousands, right?
Zhou Chengsen has more than one house!
This is not just a millionaire.
A while ago, Zhou Chengsen replenished all the sofas in the living room on the second floor, so she saw two sets of sofas.
The weather is good today, the sea is as blue as glass, and the scenery looking from the balcony on the second floor is as beautiful as a painting.
Grandma Ruan: "This house is so comfortable! The scenery is so beautiful! Every day when I wake up and see such a beautiful scenery, I feel no worries! And the air is so good. In this summer, when I open the windows and the sea breeze blows in, it is not hot at all."
It’s exactly Grandma Ruan’s dream room.
Grandma Ruan has a bad nose and rhinitis. She always feels uncomfortable living in Beijing and likes an environment with good air the most.
So she often comes to live with her younger daughter-in-law (Gao Jie).
Whenever there were willow catkins or sandstorms in Beijing, she would immediately pack her bags and come to her youngest son's side.
Ruan Tang smiled and said, "It is quite comfortable. Even if you sleep with the windows open in the summer, it won't be too hot, and it won't be too cold in the winter."
Zhou Chengsen: "If grandma likes the environment here, she can come and live here often. We have many rooms at home."
Ruan Tang also smiled and said, "Yes, grandma, if you like, you can come and stay here often. You can also go fishing here. It's fun to go fishing. There are many seafood to pick up. I will teach you how to recognize snail eyes when the time comes."
Grandma Ruan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely come and stay when I have time and catch some fish in the sea."
Some people go to the rooftop and take a look. The view of the sea from the rooftop should be more beautiful.
While everyone was going up the stairs, Gu Ling asked, "Xiao Tang, is it profitable to go fishing on a boat?"
Ruan Tang knew that this cousin had always liked to compare herself with herself since she was a child. After learning that she had a boyfriend, she chased her and asked her all kinds of questions, wishing to find out everything about Zhou Chengsen's ancestors.
When they learned that Zhou Chengsen was a grassroots cadre, that his family was from the countryside, that he was a second marriage and had children, and that his parents and brothers made a living by fishing, they looked down on him.
Of course she was also happy in her heart, because she felt that she had married someone who was not as good as her.
This house probably shocked her today, so she said, "It depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will earn more, but if you are unlucky, you will earn just average."
"Your answer is the same as no answer. Can you be more specific? How much can you earn if you are lucky, and how much can you earn if you are unlucky?"
Ruan Tang: "I was lucky yesterday and made more than 7,000 yuan. When I was unlucky, I only made more than 100 or 200 yuan."
Gu Ling: “…”
Seven thousand?
I was deeply shocked! (End of this chapter)
