The account book was a little damp, but the handwriting was clear.
There are more than a dozen kinds of fishing products on the page with Chu Xuan's name on it.
The total price of each type of fish product, any decimals of a few cents will be calculated directly as one yuan, and any decimals of a few cents will be deleted.
Sea cucumber 810 yuan, abalone 606 yuan, hairtail 601 yuan, Spanish mackerel 307 yuan, prawns...
The total amount is 4,886 yuan.
Chu Xuan confirmed that it was correct, and Li Lin took out a bulging bag from under his raincoat and took out five stacks of money, one of which was slightly thinner than the other four.
"I went to the city to sell goods today and received all the cash, so I have enough money to settle the bill with your family. My mother and I counted both sides at home, and you and your brother can count them again."
"good."
Chu Xuan took it.
Handed two stacks to Chu Feng.
She counted the rest.
A few minutes later, after counting the money, it was indeed 4,886 yuan.
Li Lin wrote the words "4886 yuan of payment for goods has been cleared" on the account book, took out the ink pad, and without him saying anything, Chu Xuan had already taken the initiative to press his fingerprint on the words "6 yuan has been cleared".
Chu Xuan and his sister invited Li Lin and his mother to have dinner at their home, but they declined.
After watching them leave, Chu Feng locked the gate and said, "Sister, let's save this money and use it to treat our mother's illness!"
Chu Xuan said without hesitation, "Okay!"
She kept the money this time.
I am exhausted as a dog today, but I am very happy.
However, at eleven o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan still couldn't fall asleep, while Chu Feng was sleeping soundly on the other side of the kang table.
Outside the house the wind was howling and the rain was getting heavier.
She was wondering whether Mu Chenze had returned safely after going to the city to sell goods.
On this day in his previous life, Mu Chenze did not go to the city to sell fish, so why would he go there in this life?
Could it be that because of her rebirth, some people and things have changed?
I don’t remember Mu Chenze ever being short of money. Why does he look so short of money today?
That's strange.
I really want to go out and take a walk at the village entrance.
If I hadn't slept, I would have thought she was crazy.
On a stormy night, instead of staying in the house, he chose to run out.
Chu Xuan got up, quietly put on a raincoat and rain boots, took a flashlight, walked out of the bedroom, and locked the bedroom door to prevent it from being blown open by the wind.
Of course, I didn't forget to lock the gate.
Braving the wind and rain, we walked towards the village entrance.
The road is slippery and you will fall if you are not careful.
Chu Xuan walked carefully, but still almost slipped. After she finally managed to steady herself, a tractor passed by behind her, splashing mud and water all over her.
The person in the driver's seat was Xun Ren, another tractor driver in the village.
Although his name contains the word "Ren", he is not kind at all.
Although the person on the truck bed was covered tightly, Chu Xuan still recognized that it was Feng Chunhua.
Chu Xuan could guess without asking that it was Xun Ren who drove the tractor out to take private jobs without the village chief's approval.
So he shouted at the departing tractor, "Xun Ren, how much fare did Feng Chunhua give you? Is it worth it for you to brave the wind and rain to send her there? What if the village tractor breaks down along the way? How are you going to explain this to the village office?"
Xun Ren secretly cursed Chu Xuan for being sharp-eyed, fearing that she would tell nonsense everywhere. He braked to the ground and jumped off the tractor.
"Chu Xuan, let's discuss this. I'll give you half of the fare, and don't tell anyone about this."
Chu Xuan pointed at the person on the truck bed and asked, "How much did she give you for the fare?"
Xun Ren held up a finger and said, "One dollar."
Chu Xuan was speechless. "Just for one dollar, you took such a big risk to give it to her? You should know that if anything goes wrong with the tractor, not only will you have to pay for it, but you will also lose the chance to drive a tractor again."
I don't want Feng Chunhua to go to the train station happily.
I can only try to persuade Xun Ren.
Feng Chunhua couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed, "Chu Xuan, you fat bastard! Do you think you can get involved? You're meddling in other people's business! Xun Ren, get out of here! I'll raise it to two yuan!"
Chu Xuan deliberately said, "You damned old woman Feng! I don't need a dollar or two. I was just giving Xun Ren a friendly reminder."
Xun Ren suddenly remembered that Chu Xuan had a good relationship with the village chief's family and was a sworn enemy of Feng Chunhua.
He couldn't earn this money tonight, otherwise Chu Xuan would notify the village chief as soon as he drove the tractor out of the village.
By then, you will lose your job.
"Feng Chunhua, don't stay on the tractor bed. Get off now! I still need to clean the bed!"
Feng Chunhua was so angry that she kicked the truck several times, "Xun Ren, you don't keep your word! Are you even a man?"
Xun Ren said nonchalantly, "I may not keep my word, but I'm still a man! If you don't get off, I'll drive the tractor directly to the village office. In that case, you'll have to walk a long way to get to the village entrance."
Feng Chunhua had no choice but to slowly slide down from the truck bed.
Chu Xuan noticed that she was wearing a raincoat, rain pants and rain boots, and her arms were bulging, probably because of the luggage hidden under the raincoat.
But she didn't say anything more.
Feng Chunhua noticed Chu Xuan's eyes on her in the light of the flashlight, and hurriedly hugged the things in her arms tightly.
Chu Xuan didn't think much of it, thinking it was just the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants.
Xun Ren drove the tractor back to the village office.
Feng Chunhua left cursing.
The wind was quite strong, so Chu Xuan took shelter under the eaves of a house at the entrance of the village.
After a while, I saw a truck coming.
Chu Xuan wanted to take a quick look to see if the person in the car was Mu Chenze, but the truck stopped next to her.
Mu Chenze got out of the passenger seat.
He ran up to Chu Xuan wearing a raincoat and said, "What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me? You idiot!"
Chu Xuan refused to admit it, "Who's waiting for you? You're being sentimental. I was just bored, so I wanted to come out and see if I could catch some fish again. I've been looking all the way here!"
Mu Chenze smiled helplessly, "Are you crazy about money? Fine! I'll go to your house to settle the bill first, and then go home."
"Yes, I was just desperate for money. I'm so happy that you can pay the bill so quickly!"
Chu Xuan refused to admit that she had come to the village entrance specifically to wait for Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze greeted the truck driver and the truck driver drove away.
Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan walked back together.
When passing by Mu Chenze's house, Chu Xuan pointed at the gate and said casually, "Go home and have a good rest. I suddenly don't want to pay the bill tonight."
"Don't want to pay? Then I have to take you back. I'm worried about you wandering around outside alone in this bad weather at night."
"What's there to worry about? With my weight, who dares to mess with me? I can't beat him to death! But as for you, a pretty boy, I'm worried that you'll be raped!"
She said this on purpose to anger him so that he wouldn't insist on sending her off.
"I'm not a gigolo!" Mu Chenze was a little angry, "If you don't let me send you, forget it! I'm going home!"
He ignored Chu Xuan and went straight home.
Chu Xuan then felt at ease walking towards home. Walking alone at night, she had been concentrating on waiting for Mu Chenze and was not afraid at all, but now that she felt relieved, she began to fear the dark instead.
He walked tremblingly.
But she didn't know that after Mu Chenze returned home, he said hello to Mu Chenfu who was having a midnight snack in the kitchen, said that he had left something on the truck, and went out again.
Mu Chenze didn't return until she was safely home.
Mu Chenze muttered softly, "She's obviously a coward, yet she said she ran out to look for fish? Who is she kidding? Could she really have gone to the village entrance to wait for me? Does she like me?"
