"That's all we can do."
Jiang Chunlan was at a loss; a large sum of money had suddenly arrived at her home, and she hadn't quite recovered from the shock yet.
Realizing what had happened, he didn't even want to eat anymore, so he picked up the pile of banknotes and prepared to go inside.
With so much money, figuring out how to hide it is a problem.
"Ah Liang, do you have the money to buy a boat?"
Fu Liang shook his head subconsciously, "I only have a few dollars left."
Come to think of it, Jiang Chunlan usually manages the money at home, and Fu Liang's few dollars are just for backup.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chunlan counted out the money for the boat and gave it to him, then happily took the remaining money into the house.
In fact, Fu Wan's words were not without reason. Fu Liang had already made up his mind, and the next step was to discuss marriage. The bride price and the "three turns and one ring" (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) all cost money.
Even if their family is poor, they absolutely cannot neglect their future daughter-in-law.
Thinking this, Jiang Chunlan divided the money into several portions, carefully wrapped them in cloth, and hid them in the corners of the room.
After hiding the money, she didn't forget to light incense for Fu Liang's father.
"Honey, things are finally looking up for us. You were right back then, we should act according to our conscience. Ah Wan and her family are truly good people!"
While you're down there, don't forget to bless them with good health and a safe voyage!
Fu Liang was used to the constant chatter.
From childhood to adulthood, his mother liked to talk to his father, and even after his father passed away, it didn't stop Jiang Chunlan from talking to the photos.
"Mom, we need to hurry, we still have to go beachcombing this afternoon."
Fu Liang quickly finished the pancake in the bowl, glanced at the time, and hurriedly urged Jiang Chunlan to hurry up.
Jiang Chunlan agreed, and after the mother and son finished eating, they tidied up a bit before taking their tools and pushing their bicycles toward Fu Wan's house.
Meanwhile, Fu Wan and her group had just finished preparing everything.
"You guys go, I won't go."
Fu Laoda took a shovel from the backyard. "There are a lot of broken stones at the new house. I need to go and shovel them into a pile."
Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly tried to persuade Fu Laoda.
"Dad, didn't you say your back hurt yesterday?"
"Leave the stone there, and my brother and I will deal with it in a couple of days."
Fu was touched by his daughter's concern.
He waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing."
I'm just shoveling around casually; I'll take a break if I get tired.
Hearing him say that, Fu Wan and the others were finally relieved.
Seeing that everyone looked like they were about to leave, Wangcai kept circling around them.
However, it also knew its duty. After Fu Wan and the others left, it obediently lay down in the yard, its two ears perked up, listening to the sounds around it at any time.
The food at home is good, so Wangcai (the dog) eats well too.
It ate fish bones and ribs every day, and it became the most majestic and tallest dog in the whole village. Most importantly, it was extremely intelligent and never ate random things outside.
"Hey, Xiao Cui, are you guys going to go beachcombing?"
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into the village aunties. Fu Wan smiled at them while riding her bicycle, with Ye Xiaocui on the back.
"Yes, we missed it here in the village, let's try our luck elsewhere."
Ye Xiaocui greeted others with a smile, and the aunt was very envious. It's so convenient to have a car, you can go wherever you want.
Look at this line, five people in three vehicles, with tools and snakeskin bags strapped to Fu Ming's back seat.
Fu Liang was carrying Jiang Chunlan, and the fire tongs and other supplies were in Jiang Chunlan's bucket.
Even after Fu Wan and the others had ridden quite a distance, the aunties were still talking under the tree.
"You know what, now that Old Master Fu has become wealthy, even Widow Jiang's life has improved!"
"That's right. Fu Liang used to be pitiful, always working as a porter at the dock to earn money. Now that he's with Boss Fu and his family, he's probably made a fortune."
"Sigh, this is something we can't envy. If you ask me, we should learn from A-Wan and make some bamboo traps."
Let me tell you, this thing really works!
The group chatted back and forth, and the women kept busy, their fishing nets never stopping.
However, what was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. On the path unnoticed by the others, Fu Da Lai Zi watched Fu Wan and the others leave, and his mind began to race again.
After Fu Dalaizi returned, he was truly like an invisible man. If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a hoe and going out, the villagers would have thought he wasn't home.
However, he was just lazy by nature. He carried a hoe out with the intention of turning over the soil and planting something, but after a week of turning over, the soil was still slightly flawed, and he only managed to turn over half of it.
Not to mention the meticulous work of growing vegetables, which Wang Panlan used to do; he simply couldn't do it.
Thinking of Wang Panlan, Fu Dalaizi felt a wave of frustration wash over him.
When the village chief took the documents to the police station to get Fu Dalaizi's signature, even though he didn't want to lose his wife, he still signed them for the sake of the money.
Who would have thought that upon returning, they would discover that Wang Panlan had not only remarried but was also pregnant.
She wasn't afraid to see him and didn't hide, but the tall and strong Dazhuang always followed Wang Panlan, so Fu Dalaizi didn't have a chance to cause trouble for Wang Panlan.
The most crucial issue is that they don't dare to.
Now that the family's money is almost gone, how to get some more money is a question that Fu Dalaizi has been thinking about lately.
As if by some strange twist of fate, he passed by the house of Old Master Fu, carrying a hoe.
The gate to the Fu family mansion was tightly closed, with a sturdy lock on the gate.
The courtyard wall didn't look very high, but just as Fu Dalaizi was about to get closer, a large gray-black dog suddenly crawled out of the dog hole under the wall and bared its teeth at him.
It was as if if he took another step closer, it would pounce on him and bite him to death.
This terrified Fu Da Laizi, who immediately lost all interest in looking around and ran home as fast as he could without looking back.
Damn it, even Old Master Fu's dog is so energetic; it looks like it eats better than him.
Well, it seems I have no choice but to go out to sea and try my luck!
Fu Wan and the others were unaware of what had happened to Fu Da Lai Zi.
However, several aunties saw Fu Da Laizi's behavior and immediately began to plan to go back and complain to Ye Xiaocui.
"Mom, look over there, isn't that a mangrove forest?"
Fu Wan and her companions rode their bicycles very fast. Just as they were about to reach that mountain road, Fu Wan inadvertently caught sight of the low green bushes not far away.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaocui looked over and immediately became excited as well.
"Wow, this mangrove forest is really beautiful! Ah Wan, stop right there, let's go see if there are any crabs inside!"
Mangroves are a favorite habitat for shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. A dense mangrove forest like this must be a place with few visitors, and there must be a lot of creatures inside.
"Let's get off here then, bro, Liang-ge, stop the car!"
Fu Wan gave a shout and then stopped her bicycle.
Ye Xiaocui couldn't wait to get out of the car, then divided the tools and turned to call Jiang Chunlan.
"Chunlan, hurry up! There are plenty of clam holes in this mudflat. Let's go dig for clams and let the children catch crabs!"
