Chapter 68 Needs Consideration
Hua Daling from next door pricked up her ears when she heard Chu Zhi enter the house.
Hua Daling's husband had already lain down and was snoring.
As for her good-for-nothing son, when the family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, not only did he not go out to look for a job, but he took his wife and children to live with his mother-in-law and has not returned since.
She was alone in the yard now, and she could eavesdrop for as long as she wanted, but she was afraid that Feng Chunhua and her son would stop chatting.
She actually heard some useful words.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Chu Xuan lay down to think about things.
If nothing goes wrong, Mu Chenze will be able to get the test report of the grilled fish fillets in more than three hours.
Once we get to the city, if the Zhang family makes trouble, the test report can ensure that the grilled fish fillet business can continue normally...
At around six o'clock the next morning, Hua Daling knocked open Chu Xuan's gate.
Hua Daling didn't even bother to enter the room and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xuan, Feng Chunhua is trying to fabricate rumors about you and Accountant Wen. You need to figure out a way to deal with it now. She's planning to hire Mrs. Jiang from our village to make up a story about you two. She's already left."
Now she relies on Chu Xuan's wages to support the family, and she doesn't want Chu Xuan to have any mishaps.
Chu Xuan knew that Hua Daling had come here sincerely to deliver the message, "Aunt Hua, thank you for making this special trip!"
"What is there to thank me for? I have to go back and make breakfast for my boss, so I won't go in. I'll come back when the fish come."
"good."
After watching Hua Daling leave, Chu Xuan said hello to Chu Feng and went straight to Mrs. Jiang's house.
There must be no rumors about her and Accountant Wen, otherwise, the thin-skinned Accountant Wen will stop teaching Xiao Feng to avoid suspicion.
The best abacus user in the county is Accountant Wen, there is no one else like him.
When he arrived outside Mrs. Jiang's house, Chu Xuan did not go in, but hid in the corner and eavesdropped.
Feng Chunhua was talking to Mrs. Jiang.
"Sister Jiang, if you can spread the news about Chu Xuan and Accountant Wen throughout the village, you can get two yuan. Of course, you must not let Chu Xuan know that I was the one who contacted you. If she finds out, I won't give you a penny."
Mrs. Jiang has always had no bottom line when it comes to money. "Don't worry! I'm very tight-lipped. I'll just tell everyone that I saw Accountant Wen go to Chu Xuan's house late at night and do that. But I'm curious. You and Chu Xuan have nothing to do with each other anymore, so why are you still targeting her so much?"
Feng Chunhua snorted coldly, "I will not let anyone who has offended me have an easy life! Let's go!"
After she walked away, Chu Xuan appeared at the door of Mrs. Jiang's house.
"Aunt Jiang, I was just passing by, what a coincidence! I overheard your conversation with Feng Chunhua. What's going on? Are you trying to spread rumors about me?"
Mrs. Jiang secretly thought that it was not good. The rumor had already been known by the person involved before it was spread, and the two dollars were wasted.
He kept talking, "Chu Xuan! Since you heard it, I won't hide it. Feng Chunhua paid me to do it! But I haven't received the money yet."
Chu Xuan took out three yuan from his pocket and waved it in front of Mrs. Jiang. "As long as you go to the village office and say that Feng Chunhua bribed you to spread rumors about me, these three yuan will be yours."
Mrs. Jiang was blinded by the money and reached out to take it.
Chu Xuan took a step back and quickly put the money back into his pocket. "My money is not so easy to take. When you go to the village office and tell them, I will give you the three yuan in front of everyone.
Mrs. Jiang agreed without hesitation. After seeing Chu Xuan off, she went straight to the village office.
Soon, the news that Feng Chunhua hired someone to spread the rumor about Chu Xuan spread throughout the village. Except for Chu Zhi, everyone in the village called Feng Chunhua a bad person.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Chu Xuan openly rewarded Mrs. Jiang with three dollars.
Mrs. Jiang took the money and went home happily.
As soon as he entered the door, Feng Chunhua's angry voice came from behind him, "Mrs. Jiang! What a good thing you did! How dare you go to the village office to complain about me? I'll make you pay!"
He walked up to Mrs. Jiang, grabbed her and started beating her.
Mrs. Jiang was slapped twice in the face and became furious. She grabbed Feng Chunhua's arm and bit it.
Feng Chunhua howled like a pig being slaughtered.
He attacked again, and the two wrestled together...
The fight ended with Feng Chunhua begging for mercy.
After Feng Chunhua went to the village clinic for disinfection and bandaging, she remembered that she had gone to see Mrs. Jiang to ask about the whole story.
So he walked towards Mrs. Jiang's house again.
I happened to meet Chu Xuan who was carrying a basket and preparing to go fishing.
Seeing Feng Chunhua's arm bandaged, two blood marks on her face, and disheveled hair as if a strand was missing, Chu Xuan did not hide his gloating at all.
She took the initiative to speak, "Mrs. Feng, don't let me know if you hire someone to spread rumors in the future. Also, if there are any more rumors about me, the villagers won't believe them. They will just think you hired someone to spread rumors about me again! If you dare to provoke me again, be careful that I accidentally tell others about your son Chu Zhi's hidden illness!"
These words successfully captured Feng Chunhua's attention.
Feng Chunhua admitted her mistake and said, "I know I was wrong! I will definitely change in the future!"
Chu Zhi is Feng Chunhua's weak spot.
Chu Xuan walked towards the beach.
Feng Chunhua gnashed her teeth in hatred.
I thought to myself, sooner or later, Chu Xuan will be in trouble!
Feng Chunhua walked towards Mrs. Jiang's house.
When Chu Xuan saw that Feng Chunhua didn't follow her, she turned around and took a mountain road to a secret place to catch seafood.
When we got there, the tide had already begun to recede, and the clam holes on the beach were already exposed, densely packed with them.
It feels like I'm going to get rich.
He took out a can of salt from his backpack and sprinkled it on the ground.
Once salt is sprinkled, the king clam will think that the sea water has risen again and will drill out.
By then, Chu Xuan will be able to catch them effortlessly.
Half an hour later, there were more than fifty king clams in Chu Xuan's backpack, each as wide as a thumb.
Get rich!
The tide has almost receded and the tide pool has been exposed.
Chu Xuan stood up and walked towards the tide pool.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
"Nice harvest, huh?"
It’s Mu Chenze.
Chu Xuan turned around, a look of surprise on her face. "Why aren't you catching up on your sleep at home? Are you here to announce the good news or to help?"
Mu Chenze pointed to his old clothes and said, "Of course I'm here to help. Hou Mingliang didn't directly order the grilled fish fillets, but said he needs to think about it. Let me wait for his call."
Chu Xuan looked optimistic. "As long as they don't refuse outright, we have hope. By the way, have you got the test report?"
"I got it. Thanks to your foresight. I had just set up my stall today when the food safety staff came to see me. They said someone had reported that our grilled fish fillets had excessive bacteria and needed to be sampled for testing. I showed them the test report, and they still took one or two grilled fish fillets, but they didn't stop me from continuing to sell them. However, sales were slow today and we didn't sell out until 7 a.m.."
Chu Xuan knew that without the test report, it would be good if the 300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets could be brought back, as they might be confiscated by food safety personnel.
"Mu Chenze, thank you for your hard work!"
"I've worked so hard, and you're just talking about it?"
"I'll go to Ji Ping's house tonight and cook for you as a reward! Let's go to the beach first!"
"good!"
There were some blue-scaled fish in more than a dozen tide pools, but no big ones.
Chu Xuan took out a hand net, caught the green-scaled fish, and then returned to continue catching the king clams.
This is how I make money today.
Mu Chenze also helped to sprinkle salt, "Sell this king clam to me! I'll go to the market tomorrow and get a good price for it."
"no problem!"
Before the sea water rose, they caught more than eighty king clams.
The green-scaled fish weighed only about ten pounds and was not worth selling at the dock. Chu Xuan gave half to Mu Chenze, but Mu Chenze refused.
Chu Xuan didn't insist anymore.
The two of them took a detour along the mountain road back to the village. Mu Chenze took the Razor Clam King away, while Chu Xuan headed home.
When he was almost at the door of his house, he was stopped by Feng Shuai.
Chu Xuan didn't give him a good look, "What? Get out of the way!"
