Chapter 44 Good Daughter-in-law Qian Yue

"Grandma, the tide is going out soon so let's not go get clams. Let's go get conch today. Master Yin won't accept the gift, just say you can send him some conch every day."

"Ah? What's the value of a conch? Isn't that too rude?"

The old lady was so happy that she was preparing to kill the duck and give it away, but she was stunned when she heard what her eldest grandson said.

"No problem, just give him some conch. Didn't I buy a bowl of conch meat yesterday? That's what Doctor Yin's family sells. They make conch dishes and need a lot of conch. Now that Doctor Yin has injured his leg, the family has lost a strong laborer, so he will be happy if we give him some conch."

"All right, I'll go get the conch."

The old lady let go of the duck's neck and went back to the kitchen to put down the knife. When she came out, she remembered something else.

"By the way, Ah Yue, your cousin's grandmother came to our house yesterday. You were not there when she told me that she would come over in the afternoon."

Lian Yue: “…”

His cousin's aunt was a famous matchmaker who was well-known far and wide. When she came to his house, she had no other intentions than to be a matchmaker.

"Grandma... haven't I told you that I don't want to get married so early?"

"How is it too early?! You are already 18! Look at the boys your age, how many of them are still unmarried? Hong and his friends are one year younger than you and they already have a baby!"

The old lady was getting anxious just thinking about it. She dreamed of seeing her eldest grandson get married, but this guy just didn't care.

Lian Yue knew that it was pointless to argue so he simply stopped saying anything. Anyway, the marriage was not decided by him and no one else had the final say.

Grandma is such a fool. She only knows how to use Hong as an example. Why doesn't she take a look at how Hong lives after getting married?

When he came back from the beach two days ago, he heard a quarrel in Ahong's house. His wife and his eldest sister-in-law were swearing at each other, and occasionally Ahong could be heard giving some weak advice.

However, it was of no use, his wife and sister-in-law only quarreled more fiercely.

Such a chaotic life is definitely not the married life he wants. So a hasty marriage is absolutely not an option. He must find a girl that suits his heart. Moreover, with his family's current conditions, marrying a girl would be an injustice to her, so why bother?

Lian Yue packed up the fishing net, put it on his shoulder, and then went out with two large buckets of water.

He didn't plan to go and catch conchs, as Grandma could do it alone. His main job was to row the raft and catch octopus and other catches.

There was no other way. The family’s fishing boat had been sold long ago, so he could only rely on the bamboo raft to earn food.

Soon the tide receded, and people of all ages in the fishing village went to the beach to catch fish.

Yin Huaixi went to the city alone, carrying the snail meat, while Yin Huaishan stayed at home to look after the house. Jiang Wan took her cousin and aunt to pick spicy snails.

Of course, if they see other small seafood, they will also take them back.

For example, at this moment, Jiang Wan just approached the reef and heard a series of clacking sounds. Upon closer inspection, she saw a dozen shrimps jumping around.

Fresh shrimps are translucent and have amazing bounce ability.

This is seafood that tastes just as good as conch meat. Jiang Wan put them all into the basket.

The mother and daughter nearby also wanted to help, but when they were about to touch the shrimp, it suddenly jumped up and bared its teeth and claws, scaring the mother and daughter so much that they quickly took several steps back.

"Aunt, cousin, you can just go get the conch."

When Jiang Wan was doing live broadcasts of sea surfing, she often saw tourists screaming and frightened by various small sea animals. Her aunt and cousin were considered to have had relatively small reactions.

It seems that most girls are very afraid of these moving creatures.

"Hey, look, Yue, I caught another octopus!"

A loud voice was heard, and Jiang Wan looked up and saw two people, one big and one small, about fifty meters in front of her right.

The loud-voiced girl was a bit too fat, about 160 pounds. This figure was rare in the fishing village. The girl next to her... no, it was a woman. The woman had a woman's bun, was very thin, and had a fair complexion.

Jiang Wan saw the fat girl put the octopus she caught into the young wife's basket, and then continued to search among the rocks.

The young wife, who was originally smiling slightly, turned her head impatiently after the girl turned around, and her eyes happened to meet Jiang Wan's. Then she subconsciously forced a smile, which was a bit ugly.

Jiang Wan didn't pay much attention to her and didn't want to say hello to them.

There are a lot of spicy snails on the rocks, in nests after nests. The best thing to do is to take them home as soon as possible.

The three people here were busy picking snails one by one, while the two people not far away had no harvest for a while.

"Ayue, let's go somewhere else and have a look. Eh? What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the three people over there. They're working on snails. I don't know what they're doing."

"What else can we do with conchs? We can feed them to chickens or ducks. Let's go."

Lian Baozhu subconsciously reached out to pull her friend, but saw Qian Yue move aside.

"Xiaozhu, there's so much sand on your hands that it's going to dirty my clothes. You know I only have two sets of clothes. If they get dirty, my mother-in-law will scold me again."

Qian Yue pretended very well, Lian Baozhu felt that she was wrong and apologized quickly, then coaxed Qian Yue in a gentle voice to go to another place to catch the sea.

They had not walked far when they ran into two women, the sisters-in-law Lin Wanrong and Xu Mingwei.

Lian Baozhu lived next door to Zhou's family, and they had become familiar with each other after half a month, so she was the first to greet them.

Lin Wanrong also greeted her and was about to leave when she saw her brother's wife stop.

"Baozhu, have you told your family that you are leaving the sea? Who is this?"

"This is my good sister Qian Yue. Aunt Xu, when you go back, don't tell my mother that I went out to play, or I will definitely get beaten up when I get back."

After saying that, Lian Baozhu pulled Qian Yue and ran away, and soon disappeared from the reefs.

"Sister-in-law, look at that young wife just now, does she look familiar to you?"

"Ah? That Qianyue?"

Lin Wanrong knew what her sister-in-law meant and felt that it was impossible.

"Although she is almost as thin as that woman, it can't be her. We have both heard of Qian Yue. She didn't remarry after her husband died and lived in her husband's house to take care of her mother-in-law. She is one of the best daughters-in-law in the village."

Why would a young wife with such a good reputation come to harm her own family?

Was it really because of her husband? It was ridiculous to think about it. She would rather believe that she had offended someone unintentionally, which led to the disaster.

"My dear sister-in-law, don't worry about whether it is possible or not, just think about whether she looks like that woman."

"This……"

Lin Wanru carefully considered Qian Yue's figure, and then silently compared it. It was true that they looked quite similar, and her skin was even slightly whiter.

Seeing the expression on his sister-in-law's face, Xu Mingwei already understood.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We need evidence for everything. If she really wanted to harm us, she should be punished. If it wasn't her, I wouldn't do anything to her for no reason. Don't you understand me?"

Lin Wanrong nodded, her brother-in-law and his wife were the kindest people.
