Mu Chenze deliberately looked at Chu Xuan as if she were a fool.
"Silly Xuan, can you please use your brain? Is Li Tong the only one collecting fish?"
Chu Xuan doesn't have a bad temper. Who made her owe him so much?
He smoothed his messy hair and pushed it aside so it wouldn't block his view. "Yeah! It won't be so noticeable if we sell it to someone else. When we get to the dock, you can go sell the goods by yourself."
Her family sold so many fish today that they made more money than the fishermen who usually go out to sea to fish. They must be the envy of others.
Mu Chenze patted Chu Xuan's head gently and said, "Use your brain again."
Chu Xuan was confused. "How else can I use my brain?"
"What do I do, buddy?"
"Fishermen, what else can you do?" At this point, Chu Xuan suddenly realized what Mu Chenze meant, "I know! You also collect fish and want to take them to the city!"
"That's right."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Sell all the two and a half truckloads of fish to Li Tong..."
"I was also inspired by Li Tong. If you encounter a typhoon and need to deliver fish next time, remember to come to me first."
"That's a must. By the way, if you come with me to catch fish, who will help you collect the fish at the dock?"
"Of course they're my family. I'll take the catch to the dock when we get there, and you can just go home. When I come back from selling the catch, if the weather is good, I'll give you the money."
"Thank you for your hard work! But your family is very brave. Even in this weather, they dare to wait at the dock to collect the fish."
"It's just near the pier, not directly at the pier. And there are a lot of people picking up fish near the pier. There are also fish that were blown out to sea by the typhoon."
Chu Xuan remembered the time when the typhoon would turn around in his previous life, which was around three o'clock tomorrow morning.
He quickly reminded her, "I heard there will be another typhoon at two or three in the morning tomorrow. If you go to the city to sell goods, you must come back before midnight."
"Don't worry! I'll be back before twelve o'clock tonight."
The two of them were talking in the rain, and before they knew it, they were near the pier.
Mu Chenze watched Chu Xuan walk away before calling his family to come and help transport the fish and the sea ducks tied together.
When his family asked where he got it from, Mu Chenze made up an excuse: someone he didn't know from the next village.
More than twenty minutes later, Chu Xuan arrived home. The rain was lighter now.
As soon as she entered the door, Chu Feng ran over in the rain and handed her a clean towel. "Sister, are you tired? I've already made dinner. It's on the stove."
Chu Xuan looked relieved. He took the towel and wiped the rain off his face and hair. Even with the rain hat on, his hair was still soaked.
"Don't worry about eating. I'll go get some buckets of water while the rain is still light."
Planning to take a hot bath.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "You were not at home just now, so Aunt Niu helped me carry three loads of water."
Chu Xuan was a little surprised, "How did Aunt Niu know that we needed to fetch water?"
"Because I was carrying buckets of water out, Aunt Niu happened to see me. She couldn't bear to see my small body carrying water in the rain, so she brought three buckets of water to our house in one go."
Chu Xuan walked to the big water tank, opened the lid, and saw that it was full of water.
She remembered this kindness.
"Who else came when I was not home?"
"After Aunt Niu left, Grandma Gao and Uncle Mingchen came over. They checked that our adobe house was okay and that there was water in the water tank before they left."
Chu Xuan felt warm in her heart. It felt so good to have several people care about her.
"knew."
I walked into the kitchen, took off my raincoat, hung it on the door, took out the food and started eating.
Chu Feng had already eaten and was sitting aside boiling Chinese medicine.
Today I was so busy picking up fish to make money that I didn’t have time to boil Chinese medicine.
Boil a pot of hot water.
After finishing her meal, Chu Xuan went back to her room, took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, did some simple washing, and hung them on the rope in the kitchen.
Chu Feng handed over a bowl of Chinese medicine, which was at just the right temperature, and Chu Xuan drank it all in one gulp.
I had just drunk some warm water to suppress the smell of Chinese medicine when there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Xuan, it's me, open the door."
It was Hua Daling's voice.
Chu Feng grabbed Chu Xuan and said, "Sister, you just taught Aunt Hua's son a lesson this afternoon. Now that Aunt Hua is here late at night, is she going to settle the score with you?"
Chu Xuan knew Aunt Hua and she was not the type to protect her child. There must be something else going on.
"I'll go out and take a look. You wait in the kitchen."
"I'd better go with you."
So that my sister won’t suffer any loss.
Chu Xuan saw what his younger brother was thinking and consoled him, "Aunt Hua isn't here to settle a score with me. Don't worry! I was the one who called her."
After hearing this, Chu Feng felt at ease to stay in the kitchen.
The rain was falling heavily and the wind was strong.
Chu Xuan went to open the door with an umbrella, and the umbrella was almost blown over.
Aunt Hua came over despite the bad weather, so there must be something important.
Open the gate.
Aunt Hua, wearing a raincoat and rain boots, and holding a flashlight, first shone a circle around the area to confirm that no one was around before whispering, "Xiao Xuan, I overheard Feng Chunhua was going to catch the 2:00 a.m. train to Hai City tomorrow. I knew I couldn't wait, so I came here in the rain."
Chu Xuan remembered that in her previous life, Feng Chunhua not only did not go out, but also broke her leg.
Could it be that the truth is that Feng Chunhua secretly went out, had an accident and broke her leg, so she couldn't leave?
The typhoon will turn around around 3:00 a.m. tomorrow. Feng Chunhua's train ticket is for 2:00 a.m., so the train will definitely be delayed or cancelled.
Feng Chunhua definitely couldn't leave.
"Aunt Hua, thank you for the trouble. But I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this matter. She won't be able to leave tomorrow morning. I heard there will be a typhoon."
Hua Daling agreed without hesitation, "No problem! I just like staring at her. By the way, I heard that Ge Dan came here to borrow money under my name and was exposed? Next time he dares to do it, you kick him a few times for me. If he hadn't run fast, I would have beaten him to the ground! He always knows how to bend his elbow outward. He always wants to ask me for money to honor his mother-in-law."
Chu Xuan thought of Ge Dan's ending in his previous life and reminded him, "Aunt Hua, no matter how disappointing Ge Dan is, you can't let him stay at his mother-in-law's house. I heard his mother-in-law is not a good person. If she instigates him to steal, cheat, and deceive people, you will have nowhere to cry!"
Hua Daling slapped her thighs and said, "Thanks for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have realized that my son changes for the worse every time he goes to his mother-in-law's house. Tomorrow I'm going to tie him up and teach him a lesson! I'm leaving now!"
"This is for you." Chu Xuan stuffed a basket of small fish at the door into Hua Daling's arms. "It's not worth much, so I didn't sell it. Go back and add some dishes."
"I'll just take a few."
Hua Daling wanted to let it go, but was stopped by Chu Xuan.
"There's still some at home, enough for Xiaofeng to eat for half a month. I can't eat fish because I'm taking Chinese medicine, you know!"
With Chu Xuan's insistence, Hua Daling finally accepted it.
This basket weighs at least 30 kilograms, which is nothing for Chu Xuan, but for Hua Daling, after processing and pickling, it can provide meat and vegetables for more than ten days.
After watching Hua Daling leave, I just locked the door and was about to go back to the kitchen to clean up when the knock on the door sounded again.
Chu Xuan asked, "Who is it?"
"Chu Xuan, it's me, Li Tong's wife. My son Li Lin and I are here to give you some money."
Chu Xuan hurriedly opened the door.
I can make a lot of money tonight!
There was no electricity in the bedroom and no candles, so the mother and son were invited to go into the kitchen.
There are candles and flashlights in the kitchen.
Li Lin took out the account book from his pocket through his raincoat and handed it to Chu Xuan, "Check the account first."
