Qian Xiaohua was stunned; this was not what she had imagined.
In the past, as long as she shed a few tears and cried about her deceased husband, these villagers would unconditionally believe her and then help her.
Why didn't it work this time?
It must be because she hasn't cried for that short-lived bastard yet!
Qian Xiaohua convinced herself, and immediately her eyes filled with tears as she began to sob softly.
"My life is so hard, all the men in my family died so young..."
"You've gotten married again, Qian Xiaohua, are you trying to make your current husband die sooner or later?"
Wang Xiuer, carrying two baskets, happened to walk by. Both were widows, and she had the least respect for women like Qian Xiaohua.
What's wrong with a widow? She cries all the time. How can a man come back to life?
Cry, cry, cry! My good fortune has all been cried away!
It would be better to save your energy and focus on farming and raising children instead of spending your days doing all sorts of messy and malicious things.
“Qian Xiaohua, you clearly saw our boat working at sea, and you even followed us to cast your nets. If it weren’t for the fact that we’re from the same village, we would have stormed into your house long ago.”
"Don't push your luck. I don't want to bother the police station today because it's a holiday, but if you try to stage another accident, I don't mind taking action."
Qian Xiaohua felt a lump in her throat when Fu Wan said this, and the villagers next to her immediately realized what she meant.
"So all your catch yesterday was from operating in other people's waters?"
"What do you mean 'other people's waters'? Aren't the things in this sea all caught by skill?"
Hearing Qian Xiaohua's words, the older villagers nearby angrily rebuked her, saying, "That's a fishing area where other people are working. If we follow your logic, everyone would rush up and throw nets to snatch fish whenever they see a school of fish. There would be so many people fighting at sea that we wouldn't be able to keep up with the fights."
"It means that Boss Fu's temper has improved now. Before, your man would have lost half an arm!"
Fishermen have their own rules. If you go over and pick up what others have already caught while they are casting their nets, aren't you just asking for trouble?
Qian Xiaohua never expected that the villagers wouldn't buy into her act, and she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to cry or not.
Just then, a Santana sedan drove up from not far away, and the villagers quickly made way for it. Even Qian Xiaohua, who was sitting in the middle of the road, quickly got up.
If that four-wheeled vehicle crashes into me, it'll run someone over!
She doesn't want to die yet!
Fu Wan thought the car looked familiar, but the next second the window rolled down, revealing Qin Anning's bright and beautiful smile.
"Ah Wan, what a coincidence! I was just on my way to your house, get in the car!"
Fu Wan was still carrying the unprocessed pig's trotters, so she was too embarrassed to go up. "It's just a short walk, you go first, I'll be right there."
However, Qin Anning was too enthusiastic and actually unbuckled her seatbelt and got out to pull her. Fu Wan was pulled by such a beautiful woman and got into the passenger seat in a daze.
"Comrade Qin, what brings you here today? Are you on holiday?"
Qin Anning honked the horn, looking at the road ahead as she replied with a smile:
"Yes, I have the day off today. The institute leaders gave me a rare day off, so I rushed over to see Mingzhu!"
"There's something else I need to ask your opinion on."
"What is it?"
Fu Wan sat up straight, looking somewhat curious.
"It's about Mingzhu's schooling. A school opened in the family area near the camp, and the teachers are quite good. I was thinking of having Mingzhu and Lingling go there to study?"
Go to a camp school?
Fu Wan didn't agree immediately. Fu Ling wasn't a family member, so how could she go into a school in a residential area?
"As for Mingzhu, I won't object if she's willing. But as for Lingling, how could the school possibly let her in?"
That's a campsite; outsiders aren't allowed in.
Qin Anning waved his hand, "Well, I've already spoken to the leaders. The two torpedoes you helped retrieve last time were of great merit. They held a meeting and decided that you will receive a reward later."
"If Lingling is willing to go to school together when the time comes, all you need to do is agree."
Hearing this, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel happy.
Compared to the village primary school, the school at the camp is definitely better and stricter. Stricter means the children have to be more resilient, and these two kids are used to playing too much, so they might not be able to adapt in a while.
It's okay, Fu Wan can help them adapt. She can use bicycles to pick them up and drop them off, as long as they study hard.
As the two were talking, the car had already arrived at the entrance of Old Master Fu's house.
Ye Xiaocui was sitting in the yard washing vegetables and peppers when she heard a noise at the door. She went over to take a look and was surprised to see her daughter getting out of the car.
Then a pretty girl came down from the other side. Upon closer inspection, I realized, "Hey, isn't that Comrade Qin who came to my house a while ago?"
After getting off the car, Fu Wan saw Ye Xiaocui and quickly handed her the things in the basket, saying, "Mom, these are the pig's trotters and chicken that my aunt asked me to bring back."
"Oh dear, Dazhuang's mother, why are you being so polite!"
Before Ye Xiaocui could say anything to Fu Wan, Qin Anning had already come over carrying several small bags.
"Hello, Auntie. I don't know if you still remember me. I'm Qin Anning, Mingzhu's aunt. I'm here to visit you since I'm on holiday today."
"Oh my, how could I not remember you, comrade? I've never seen a comrade this good-looking before, of course I remember you!"
"Come in, come in! I'll get you a bowl of water!"
Ye Xiaocui warmly greeted Qin Anning, and Fu Wan led her to sit down inside the house.
"Comrade Qin, please don't buy so much next time you come."
That's too much! There are apples, mooncakes, biscuits, milk powder, malted milk powder, and even two bottles of Moutai. I don't know how she managed to have all that while she was at the camp.
Qin Anning looked aggrieved and said reproachfully, "Why do you call me Comrade Qin again? I call you Awan. We're about the same age, you can just call me Anning."
"By the way, Wan, where did Mingzhu and the others go?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaocui, who was carrying water out, quickly replied:
"Mingzhu went out with Lingling and her uncle. They said they went to catch something to feed Little Yellow!"
"Little Huang?"
Qin Anning looked at Fu Wan with a puzzled expression. Fu Wan didn't know how to answer at the moment, so she could only laugh awkwardly: "Little Yellow, it's a bird."
"The birds they rescued."
That dead bird kept making noise in the room all night, which made Fu Wan so angry that she almost got up and killed it. In the end, she took the bird outside and it finally quieted down.
"She even keeps birds? It seems Mingzhu is really happy here."
Qin Anning's face was full of smiles, and even Ye Xiaocui was stunned.
Just then, footsteps came from the courtyard gate, followed by the sounds of Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu talking back and forth.
"Little Huang likes to eat this!"
"No, look, it loves to eat this!"
"It needs water, let's take it to drink some water!"
The noise from the two children made Fu Wan feel a little embarrassed, but what happened next was even more embarrassing.
A smug voice rang out:
"Sparrows and doves, your uncle caught them all for you. Tell me, isn't your uncle the best?"
Fu Wan's smile completely vanished, and she could only rub her forehead and explain to Qin Anning.
"I'm sorry, Anning, they're not usually like this."
"Maybe it's because it's a big holiday, I'm a little excited."
