Li Xiuxian now lives in regret every day and can't bear to hear others discussing Ruan Tang and Zhou Chengsen. She turned and left, planning to come back to buy fish later.
Jiangxia and Tian Caihua bought ten kilograms of shrimp, three conger eels, ten kilograms of snails, and thirty ribbon snails.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin sold the fish and came to take over the things in the hands of the two men.
Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei, "Buy some more jellyfish to make jellyfish salad, and it will be almost done."
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin kept the general armor, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, yellow croaker, squid, cuttlefish, abalone and lobster.
There are also the spicy snails, scallops and white clams that were left yesterday and were kept in the sea. They were only brought back this morning.
"I'll go buy it." Zhou Chenglei gave the things to Zhou Chengxin to carry, and he went to buy jellyfish.
Zhou Chengxin carried all the things onto the cart.
The tractors were left at the food factory, and now our family has gone back to using carts.
After Zhou Chenglei came back with the jellyfish, they pushed the cart home to prepare lunch.
There are a lot of dishes to prepare, a total of twenty dishes, so it's quite busy.
Fortunately, great-grandmother, Aunt Dong and my second uncle's wife all came to help, so with more people doing the work we could handle it.
But cooking so many dishes also takes time.

On the other side, Li Xiuxian's sister-in-law saw Li Xiuxian coming back empty-handed, and her face darkened instantly: "Where's the fish?"
Li Xiuxian thought about Zhou Chengsen's past goodness, the goodness of the Zhou family, the badness of Liao Ruixiang's family, and the disdain of her mother's family.
I was filled with remorse, exhausted and powerless.
"I'll buy it later. There are too many people at the dock right now. I can't squeeze in. It will be cheaper if I buy it later."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family looked even darker. "Go buy some later. All the fresh fish and shrimp have been picked up by others. You lie idle at home all day long. What's the harm in waiting at the dock for a while? But since you're back, why don't you wash your parents' clothes?"
She threw the clothes in her hand onto her body, turned around and walked back to her room, saying, "You eat my food, use my things, and live in my house every day. I didn't say anything, but you're still greedy when you buy a fish!"
Li Xiuxian was hit in the face by the sour and smelly dirty clothes. Pieces of clothes fell to the ground, and a pair of underwear was still hanging on her head.
A foul odor hit Li Xiuxian's head directly. She dry-heaved and pulled her panties off with a dark face.
There are clothes all over the floor!
How could these be her parents' clothes? Her eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and their families' clothes were all here!
Li Xiuxian bent down and picked it up resignedly. The more she picked up, the more aggrieved she felt and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She thought that she had been married to the Zhou family for many years and had never washed so many clothes.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou never need their daughter-in-law to help wash their clothes.
Zhou Chengsen also washed most of her and her daughter's clothes.
She had been married to Zhou Chengsen for more than ten years and had probably washed clothes less than thirty times.
Because unless Zhou Chengsen was sick or too busy, she didn't have to wash the clothes.
After leaving the Liao family and returning to her parents' home, only a few months later, the two families couldn't stand her anymore. Her sister-in-law complained that she was a freeloader, and her parents also thought she was lazy and asked her to help her sister-in-law with housework!
She bought the meat and cooked the meal, yet she still said she ate and drank for free!
Now she has to wash the clothes, but Li Xiuxian has to do it, otherwise she won’t know where to go after leaving her parents’ home.
Liao Ruixiang refused to give her the money, and the house he bought was not in his name, so she couldn't get a share of it.
Now she didn't have enough money to buy a house in town, so she had to live in her mother's house.
After crying for a while, Li Xiuxian quietly washed the clothes. By the time she finished washing clothes for a family of more than a dozen people, it was already past ten o'clock.
She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. Just as she sat down, the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family came out and said, "Are you going to buy fish? It's almost eleven o'clock. Are you going to eat or not?!"
Li Xiuxian had no choice but to stand up and go to the dock to buy fish.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family said, "Let's buy a fish and some shrimp! Your eldest nephew dreamed of eating shrimp last night. You don't need to buy too much shrimp, two kilograms will be enough!"
Li Xiuxian's face was dark. This morning at the dock, she heard everyone say that many fishing boats had not caught any shrimps, and the price of shrimps was extremely high, at two yuan per pound.
It's really getting too much!
Buy two more kilograms!
Li Xiuxian arrived at the dock angrily and saw a jeep and two black cars passing by in a line.
In the leading jeep, she saw Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang in the passenger seat.
No one knew what Ruan Tang was saying, but Zhou Chengsen had a smile on his face.
Li Xiuxian was a little dazed.
Is Zhou Chengsen so happy with Ruan Tang?
At least when he was with me, he never smiled like this.
It was past ten o'clock and the dock was no longer busy. Only the purchasing office still had fish for sale.
There were also a few women mending fishing nets under the big tree.
As long as it is not raining, there are usually people repairing fishing nets near the pier every day.
When a few people saw three cars passing by, they started talking.
"Someone from Dr. Ruan's family is here."
"Are those two black cars from Dr. Ruan's mother's family?"
"Is this the car Xiao Xia borrowed from her mother's family?"
"No, I don't recognize the brand of Xiao Xia's mother's car. And didn't you see the red flag hanging inside the car?"
"That's the car of Dr. Ruan's family. Judging from the situation, Dr. Ruan's family must be in big trouble!"
"I asked Dr. Ruan before, and she said she was from Jing City."
"Tian Caihua said that Dr. Ruan's parents were workers, and she had an uncle and aunt working in the city, so she transferred from Beijing to here to be a doctor. Her uncle seemed to be an officer, and I heard that his position was higher than Zhou Chenglei's before."
"Yes, her aunt is the director of the military hospital and helped Xiao Xia give birth. The director's medical skills are amazing. Many twins and triplets can't be raised, but look at Zhou Chenglei's triplets. They are doing better than full-term babies. I heard they are almost one year old and have only had a fever once. They are in very good health. It was because of Jiang Xia's birth that Dr. Ruan got to know Zhou Chengsen."
"Zhou Chengsen is really capable. He was able to marry a wife from such a wealthy family."
"Zhou Yongfu's children are all capable. The couple knows how to educate their children. His family has a good tradition."
"Not only is he capable, he also loves his wife. In the whole village, the men in their family love their wives the most. They even help their wives wash their underwear."
"Zhou Yongfu used to be known for being henpecked, and Zhou Chenglei and his brothers followed his lead."
"Only those who fear their wives will be successful. In the past, Zhou Yongfu would wash his wife's menstrual belt. I said that Zhou Yongfu would be successful sooner or later, but my wife thought I was talking nonsense! My mother-in-law even scolded me! Look, he is enjoying his life now that he is old."
"A family that accumulates good deeds will be blessed with good fortune. This sentence is engraved on the pillars of the ancestral hall! Yongfu and his wife often help others. In the past, when my mother-in-law had no money to see a doctor, she asked Aunt Yongfu to borrow money for her. She lent it to me without hesitation."
"My old man fainted in the field before, and it was Zhou Yongfu who helped me carry him to the hospital and saved his life."
