Even when you're eating melons, you have to finish them.
Although Grandma Shen and her companion had run away, the villagers of Fu Family Village still pulled over Village Chief Fu to ask what had happened.
Fu Wan also perked up her ears with great interest.
Seeing that everyone was really curious, Village Chief Fu then revealed the truth.
It turned out that after Grandma Shen and Xu Zhaolan left, Shen Qiusheng also went out to find someone to call his younger brother Shen Guoliang, who was far away in the county town.
Just by hearing this name, you can tell that this brother is different from the Shen Dongsheng and Shen Qiusheng brothers.
Shen Guoliang's original name was Shen Xiasheng, and he was the youngest son of the Shen family. Later, after passing the exam and getting a job in the city, he felt that the name Xiasheng was too rustic, so he changed his name to Guoliang.
This was Old Mrs. Shen's favorite youngest son, the most successful one in the Shen family.
As noon approached, Shen Guangzong, who had been playing wildly all morning, returned home to find no one there, so he went out to play again.
While digging for seashells with some children on the beach, they got into a fight over a small fish. Shen Guangzong was always treated leniently by the Shen family, but no one did so outside.
The children pushed and shoved each other, causing the chubby little Shen Guangzong to fall and land directly in a pile of jellyfish washed ashore by the waves.
As we all know, although jellyfish are beautiful, they are more or less poisonous.
Even after falling into the pile of jellyfish, Shen Guangzong didn't stay still and started rolling around on the ground.
As a result, the jellyfish on the ground were repeatedly crushed by him and stung mercilessly, leaving him covered in wounds.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Shen Guangzong's whole body was swollen, and he couldn't even cry out.
After finishing the phone call, Shen Qiusheng was terrified by his son's appearance and quickly had someone take him to the village doctor.
Upon seeing this, the village doctor admitted that he couldn't treat the patient and could only provide some basic care before sending him to the town hospital immediately.
Going to the hospital costs money, and Shen Qiusheng, an old man, had no idea where the family's money was. He quickly asked the village chief to call Fujia Village, while he himself followed the tractor and took his son to the hospital.
When the people of Fu Family Village heard what had happened, they all started talking about it.
"This kid is probably doomed. Rolling around in a pile of jellyfish like that, how come a kid who grew up by the sea doesn't have this common sense?"
"Yes, yes, I have to go back and tell the kids at home to stay far away from jellyfish!"
Fu Wan also took Chen Lingling's hand and explained to her the toxicity of jellyfish.
As for why Shen Guangzong didn't recognize jellyfish, he was only interested in edible things, and he didn't care about jellyfish, which are inedible, at all.
The excitement subsided, and the villagers dispersed.
Fu Wan also entered the house, but in no time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, looking like a downpour was about to begin.
"It's been so hot lately, a little rain would have made it cooler!"
Ye Xiaocui muttered something to herself and then quickly moved all the fishing nets that were drying into the house.
The rain started suddenly, accompanied by lightning and thunder. In an instant, a fierce storm raged. Fu Wan stood under the eaves, shaking her head.
Oh dear, with such heavy rain, judging by the time, I'm afraid Grandma Shen and Xu Zhaolan haven't gotten home yet!
Just thinking about her makes me feel good!
In fact, Grandma Shen and Xu Zhaolan hadn't actually arrived home yet.
Although Grandma Shen was used to farm work and could endure hardship, she couldn't withstand the heat of not having eaten lunch.
Both of them felt dizzy and lightheaded, but they were still thinking about Shen Guangzong, and their legs were moving very fast.
"Damn God, it started raining just like that!"
Xu Zhaolan suddenly slipped and fell face-first into the mud.
Just then, the rain began to pour down, giving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a thorough chill.
Just as Xu Zhaolan uttered her curses, a bolt of lightning flashed and thunder roared directly above the two of them.
Old Mrs. Shen was terrified and slapped him across the face.
"You short-lived wretch, you're spouting nonsense!"
Afterwards, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "God, I'm sorry, I slapped her, please don't strike me down!"
Xu Zhaolan saw stars after being slapped, and tears mixed with the rain streamed down her face.
"Mother, why don't we find shelter from the rain?"
They had already reached the village entrance, but their house was damned to be at the very end of the village!
"Where can we find shelter from the rain?"
Xu Zhaolan pulled Old Lady Shen towards the big tree.
"Mother, we can take shelter under the tree from the rain! We'll go back when the rain subsides a bit."
Grandma Shen was tired at the moment, so she obediently walked down to the tree.
The tree at the entrance of Shenjia Village is an old tree with a long history. According to the village elders, the tree was already this big when they were children.
The tree trunks were so thick that it would take five or six adults holding hands to encircle them.
The villagers of Shenjia Village, young and old, love to cool off under this tree.
Grandma Shen and Xu Zhaolan were at their wits' end; both of them were soaked from head to toe, their clothes completely drenched.
"boom!"
Another clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and another bolt of lightning struck.
"Second brother's wife, is this lightning going to strike us on the head?!"
Grandma Shen was frightened by the thunder, and Xu Zhaolan still held a grudge against the slap she had just received, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, her son would need to ask the old lady for money for his medical treatment later.
"Mom, it's okay, this tree is sturdy, it won't fall down!"
As if it had heard Xu Zhaolan speak, a bolt of lightning struck directly, severing one of the tree's protruding branches.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands, just as the villagers who came out to deliver umbrellas to the fields saw them.
"Oh my god! How could Dongsheng's family be struck by lightning?!"
"You've done too many bad things!" The young woman holding the umbrella sneered. She had seen several people pushing Fu Wan into the water that day.
"Breaking the tree that's short-lived has caused all the trees in the village to be chopped down!"
The couple shook their heads, picked up their umbrellas, and turned to leave.
As for the Shen family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were shouting for them to wait, what? The rain was too heavy.
I can't hear you!
After returning home, Old Lady Shen gave Xu Zhaolan the money and then collapsed. It wasn't until Shen Qiusheng returned and there was no one to cook that they discovered Old Lady Shen had a persistent high fever.
Well, another one has fallen ill.
This time, Shen Qiusheng didn't take it to the hospital. He rummaged through his drawers and found some peach crisp crumbs to eat, and then slowly went to the village doctor to buy two tablets of Analgin.
However, Old Mrs. Shen was quite old, and although the medicine brought down her fever, she lost her energy.
Fu Wan definitely didn't know what happened next; even if she did, she would only applaud.
In her past life, Old Lady Shen sold Shen Lingling to the mountains, and now she has this fate; it's just retribution.
As evening approached, Fu Wan prepared a table of dishes and invited the village chief, Dr. Bai. Just then, Fu San came to pay the bill for her, so she invited him to eat with her.
Last night's haul made Fu San's reputation in town even greater, and he came here today with a swagger.
The manta rays were divided between two hotels, while the pomfret and eel were fiercely contested by hotels throughout the county.
In the end, Fu Wan earned 80 yuan from the manta ray, 96.5 yuan from the white pomfret at 1.1 yuan per jin, 42.3 yuan from the golden pomfret at 0.4 yuan per jin, and 45 yuan from the white eel at 1.8 yuan per jin.
Fu Wan calculated that the total was 263.8 yuan!
Even if you split it in half with Fu Liang, you can still get more than a hundred.
