Seeing that passersby were all looking in their direction, Fu Wan quickly pulled Ye Xiaocui forward.
"Mom, these grapes are a rare find. I'll buy some so everyone can have a taste."
Ye Xiaocui didn't know what to say, but she felt a pang of heartache.
After taking a couple of steps, she said hesitantly, "Awan, it's not that I don't want you to spend money, it's just that I said yesterday that I wanted to buy a boat, and I'm afraid we don't have enough money at home."
Fu Wan then noticed the embarrassment on Ye Xiaocui's face, and realized that Ye Xiaocui hadn't restricted her spending money after she returned to her parents' home.
Now that he's suddenly changed his mind, he's probably genuinely worried that his family won't have enough money to buy a boat.
They haven't told Ye Xiaocui how much money they made from selling bird's nest yet!
Fu Wan pulled Ye Xiaocui aside, "Mother, I have something to tell you."
Then he whispered mysteriously in Ye Xiaocui's ear.
"Mom, let me tell you, you can buy back someone else's vineyard, let alone these ten pounds of grapes."
Our family made a fortune!
Ye Xiaocui was a little confused, and then a second later she remembered that the bird's nests in the hands of these people were gone.
It's clear that the bird's nest sold for a good price.
She was both excited and nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Did the bird's nest sell?"
Fu Wan nodded, and Ye Xiaocui asked again, "How many did you sell?"
Fu Wan secretly made a three with her hand.
Ye Xiaocui was shocked: Three thousand yuan!
No one in the village had ever sold bird's nest before. In Ye Xiaocui's mind, it would be a blessing if this stuff could sell for more than a thousand yuan.
Three thousand! That's the price of that moonfish from before!
With this three thousand plus the few thousand in my savings account, I shouldn't need to borrow money from anyone to buy a second-hand boat!
Ye Xiaocui was no longer distressed. "Are these grapes enough? Should we go buy some more?"
If her daughter likes to eat it, then buy it. We can't let the child suffer!
Fu Wan was almost dying of laughter at the contrast between Ye Xiaocui's behavior before and after, and quickly pulled her forward.
"That's enough, Mom. I've bought all the grapes from that place."
Ye Xiaocui then gave up and quickly walked to the intersection to meet up with Fu Liang and the others.
Fu Liang and Fu Ming, carrying their belongings, sought shade under a large tree, while Jiang Chunlan stood to the side.
The mother and son tacitly refrained from asking Fu Ming how much the bird's nest sold for; they still maintained a sense of boundaries between people.
Otherwise, even the closest relationships can be ruined by your own actions.
The four of them spotted Fu Wan, Fu Ling, and Ye Xiaocui from afar, and Fu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally here, I'm starving!"
It was already noon, and they had only eaten a simple breakfast, so their stomachs were empty.
When Fu Wan and the other two approached, Fu Ming curiously opened the bag.
"Grape!"
"It's been so long since I've had this!"
Fu Wan quickly took out a few skewers and shared some with everyone.
Jiang Chunlan and Fu Liang were a little embarrassed, because fruit was expensive at this time of year, and the fact that they were able to eat as many mangoes as they wanted a while ago was all thanks to Fu's family.
Now that the grapes are so expensive, Jiang Chunlan is unwilling to accept them.
"I won't eat it; I'll save it for Lingling."
Upon hearing her name, Fu Ling peeked out from the side and exclaimed, "Grandma, I have grapes! I've eaten a lot!"
After saying that, he patted his belly, ignoring the grape juice on his hands.
Fu Wan felt a headache coming on when she saw the grape juice all over her mouth, so she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped it clean for her.
"Auntie, I bought so much! Everyone should try it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
This description made Jiang Chunlan laugh. "Then I'll try it. Thank you, Awan."
Seeing that everyone was eating grapes, Fu Liang felt it would be impolite to refuse, so he also took two or three.
The grapes at this time were not as big or dark as modern ones. Although some were purple and green, their sweetness was genuine.
Fu Ming finished the few grapes in his hand and sighed deeply.
"It was so much better when we were kids. Back then, at my uncle's house, a bunch of us kids would skip our afternoon naps and just go out and play."
He's done everything immoral, from picking grapes to stealing watermelons.
When they were children, someone in Yejiacun used to grow grapes. There were only a few scattered vines. The grapes ripened in the summer, and Fu Ming and Fu Wan went to Ye Jian's house to help with farm work.
Fu Ming and Fu Wan were both restless and would run around with the village children in the middle of the day.
Ye Xiaocui rolled her eyes. "You still remember this? When you were little, your aunt had to apologize to others a lot because of you."
Fu Ming chuckled. Back then, Li Chunhua treated them no differently than her own children, and if they did anything wrong, she would beat them if they deserved it.
Fu Ming was naturally the one who received the most lessons.
The group ate some grapes, which barely filled their stomachs. Seeing that the afternoon bus wouldn't be here anytime soon, they went to the state-run restaurant next door and ordered a few dishes, indulging in a rare treat.
When we returned to Fujia Village in the afternoon, the sun had just set on the horizon.
Just as Fu San finished calculating his income for the day, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw Boss Fu carrying a small bag.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Boss Fu entered the house and put the grapes he was carrying on the table. "I need to talk to you about something."
Lin Qiuju was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard Fu Laoda's voice and quickly came out to pour him a bowl of tea.
"Hey bro, have you had dinner yet? Let's eat together here later!"
"Sister-in-law, no need to bother. I need to talk to Lao San about something and then I'll go back."
Hearing this, Lin Qiuju knew that Boss Fu had something to say, so she considerately gave the two brothers space to talk, and then went back to the kitchen to continue her work.
Fu San asked, puzzled, "Brother, what happened? Is there something wrong with the bird's nest?"
Boss Fu shook his head, then took out five hundred yuan from his pocket.
"Bird's nest is selling for a pretty good price. Here's five hundred yuan, consider it a referral fee."
Sun Youcai was introduced to him by Fu San, so both morally and logically, Boss Fu had to give him some benefits.
Fu San refused to accept the money and stuffed it back to Boss Fu.
"Brother, you're looking down on me, Fu San. You're letting me introduce you to such a good opportunity, which is a sign of respect. Giving me money would be like creating distance!"
Without saying much, Boss Fu placed the money directly on the table. "This is what our family intends to do. Also, could you help me find out if there are any secondhand boats for sale? As long as the price is right, diesel engines and such are no problem. I want one."
Fu San jumped up from the stool. "Brother, you're amazing! Someone wanted to sell a boat today and came to me for help. I even said I'd keep an eye out for buyers, and here you are."
This is truly amazing; even Boss Fu didn't expect such a coincidence.
Whose boat is it?
Fu San glanced at Fu Laoda and said, "It belongs to Fu Dalaizi's family. Sanlaizi came to ask me today and said he wanted four thousand five. I also went to see the boat, and it is indeed quite good."
Before Boss Fu could say anything more, Ye Xiaocui's panicked shouts came from outside the door.
"Husband, husband! Go back quickly! Lingling is missing!"
