Chapter 72 Selling Grouper

Lian Dahai was so angry today that even the two elders didn't dare to challenge him. Lian Hehua, without protection, could only kneel down obediently.

The uneven mud was very rough, and her knees started to hurt as soon as she knelt down.

Lian Hehua looked eagerly at her parents' room several times, hoping that her mother would hear her being scolded and come out to protect her.

"Father, I know I was wrong! I apologized to Doctor Yin today. I was just too worried about Mother. Mother used to be able to do anything, but after taking the medicine, she became weak. She drank the medicine given by Doctor Yin..."

With a loud slap, Lian Hehua's face was slapped so hard that it was crooked.

Lian Dahai's hands were not like the woman's. They were only the size of a palm and had a cocoon. If he hadn't used more force, Lian Hehua's teeth would have been knocked out.

"Da Ya, do you still have the nerve to say that? As long as you treat your mother, you should know that her health has long since failed, and she has to work hard every day. In the past, your mother didn't tell me, I thought she had you Help. I really didn’t expect that I, Lian Dahai, would have such a ruthless daughter.”

If word of this gets out, I'll be labeled an unfilial person.

Even though Hehua's eyes were filled with tears, she did not dare to cry out in pain. She only tried to defend herself by saying that she was really worried about her mother.

While crying, she secretly glanced at her second aunt, hoping that she would come out and say a few words for her.

He Xiaocui pretended not to see it.

Just kidding, her parents-in-law didn't dare to say anything else, what could she say?

"Father, mother, Daya is almost old enough, let's find a matchmaker tomorrow. She is useless and just a nuisance at home, so get her married soon."

Lian Hehua was so shocked when she heard it that her voice became even sharper.

"Dad!! Are you still my dad?! How could you treat me like this! I won't marry you!"

Even the sea sneered.

"It's not up to you to decide whether to marry or not. To be honest, if you weren't born at home, I would really doubt whether you were my daughter. I must have been unlucky to have given birth to someone like you."

After saying this, he went into the house to see his wife, totally unaware of how much panic his unintentional words had caused in the family.

Lian Hehua was like a chicken whose neck was suddenly pinched, unable to make a single sound.

She glanced at her second aunt in panic and found that her second aunt's complexion was not much better than hers.

The old couple didn't feel very comfortable either, so they simply took the meal back home to eat.

Lian Dayou's eyes flashed, he finished his meal and went back to his room to lie down.

He Xiaocui quickly followed in to serve, and even Hehua returned to her room in a daze. Xiaohe and Xiaoshan were left at the table eating in silence, feeling that the atmosphere at home was strange.

The chaotic night passed quickly. The next morning, Lian Dahai first warned Lian Hehua, then went to find his parents and asked them to find a matchmaker as soon as possible.

He was no joke about marrying off his daughter, and no one could change his decision.

Xiao Shan looked at Uncle Da and Brother Xiao He with envy as they walked away. With them gone, he could have a day of peace. He had better not stay at home, or he would become a punching bag.

He put on his backpack and prepared to go up the mountain.

The dyeing grass and fruits were running out, so he needed to replenish them. In July, some wild fruits would ripen on the mountain, and he could pick some.

On the way to the mountain, he saw Jiang Wan and her aunt going to the ferry together. The two of them were carrying a wooden basin, obviously going to sell the big fish.

I wonder how much she can sell...

Jiang Wan went to Lian Yue's house early in the morning to ask about the market price of seafood at the dock. Lian Yue said that grouper weighing more than 20 kilograms was rare, so she could try to bid 10 taels first.

After some negotiation, the ten taels of silver might be sold for only six or seven taels.

This price is above Jiang Wan's psychological price. It would be quite good if it could be sold.

Jiang Wan thought she would have to sell the fish at the dock for a long time, but as soon as she brought the fish to the dock, a group of people gathered around her. There were so many people who were interested.

"What a big grouper! Girl, did someone from your family catch this?"

Jiang Wan nodded and didn't say anything about catching the fish herself.

"Girl, have you ever weighed this grouper?"

"Not yet. We just got ashore and the uncles and aunts are here."

Jiang Wan smiled sweetly and borrowed a scale and basket from a nearby stall owner. Although Song Wenhui was a little scared, making money was more important. She made up her mind and took the fish out and put it in the basket.

The onlookers were all staring at the tall scale bar, estimating the weight of the big fish.

"Hiss... that seems to be thirty-four kilograms!"

"34 pounds, even without the frame, it still weighs over 30 pounds!"

"This grouper weighs more than 30 kilograms!!"

Seeing that the onlookers had seen how much the fish weighed, Song Wenhui quickly poured the grouper with its mouth wide open back into the wooden basin.

This fish was also very active. As soon as it entered the basin, it splashed water and was full of energy.

A group of people immediately started bidding.

"Girl, eight ounces of silver. I'll buy it!"

"What do you mean eight taels? You are so embarrassed to offer eight taels. Little girl, I'll offer nine taels!"

If 20 kilograms of grouper has one price, then 30 kilograms has another price.

It was rare to find such a large live grouper, so everyone was very eager to buy it. The price went up from eight taels to sixteen taels.

Jiang Wan sold it to the highest bidder, and made 16 taels of silver. She was so happy when she touched the heavy silver.

But there is still eight taels of money from Brother Xiaoshan here, and I have to take it back to him later.

Jiang Wan did not go into the city for a stroll. After selling the fish, she took a boat back to the village with her aunt.

The wooden basin was brought home by her aunt, and she said goodbye to her aunt and went directly to Xiaoman's house. Because she didn't know the exact location of the small mountain furniture, she had to ask Xiaoman to point her the way.

"Go find Brother Xiaoshan by yourself. I'll go with you."

There is an unreasonable aunt and a disgusting lotus in the old house. Xiaoman is worried that Jiang Wan will be bullied if she goes there alone.

"No need, you don't hate that place. I'll just deliver something and leave, I'm busy at home."

Jiang Wan went to deliver silver. Everyone kept silver hidden, and Xiaoshan probably didn't want others to know that he had money.

Xiaoman pointed out the location to her, and Jiang Wan had a rough idea of ​​it. She walked all the way there, and before she reached the destination, she met Xiaoshan on the road.

"Xiao Wan? What are you doing..."

"I told you to wait for my good news."

Jiang Wan shook her sleeves, and there was a "dong-dong" sound inside, as if stones were colliding.

Silver!

"I don't want it, really. Xiao Wan, please go back quickly."

"No, I've said half for each of us, and I'd feel guilty if you don't accept it."

Xiaoshan looked around hurriedly.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

He took Jiang Wan directly to the place behind his house where he usually did things quietly.

This is a small, narrow utility room, and usually no one comes here.

Before the two of them could say anything, they heard a creaking sound; it was the sound of the back door being pushed open.

"Aunt, you have to help me this time. I don't want to get married!"

The two people outside could have seen what was going on in the utility room at a glance if they had just poked their heads out, but they were busy whispering and didn't notice that there were two people inside.

Jiang Wan blinked her eyes, feeling that she was about to hear some great secret.
