"Isn't this the kid from Old Chen's family?"
"Yes, Chen Jianan, it seems he is ill."
"You forgot, everyone said he was crazy and killed Chen Jianzhu and Li Tielong."
"How can a crazy person catch such a big fish? I think he is quite normal..."
Chen Jianan's appearance immediately caused everyone to talk about it.
The more important reason was the big carp that was jumping around.
There was not enough food in those days, and individuals could not afford to raise pigs, chickens, or ducks.
Throughout the year, we could only get a little bit of meat during the Chinese New Year.
When they suddenly saw such a fat carp, everyone's eyes were filled with desire.
“How do you sell this fish?”
Someone asked.
"Five dollars."
If you take the fish to the market in the village, it can be worth seven yuan.
But the journey is too far, and the fish might be dead by the time we get there.
So it needs to be dealt with nearby.
"Hiss... Five dollars can buy fifty kilograms of cornmeal."
This price is not cheap.
But that doesn’t mean no one can afford it.
Although Xiaoheyan Village is generally poor, there are also some wealthy people.
"Give it to me. My daughter-in-law is in confinement after childbirth. Take it to increase her milk supply."
Fish soup is good for producing milk.
The person who spoke was Luo Guiyin, the village women's director.
She is the village chief's sister-in-law.
It is rumored that she had an affair with the village chief Zhou Huanghe, but there is no evidence.
However, her family is indeed richer than ordinary people.
"I'll give you five dollars and fifty cents!"
A male voice sounded.
The man was very young, wore glasses and looked very gentle.
They are educated youth who went to the countryside.
This man's name is Li Bin. Although he doesn't make much money working in the village.
But his family is well off and often sends money.
Eating enough is not a problem, the key is being greedy.
He hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
This big carp looks very delicious.
Li Bin was tempted.
"Li Bin, what do you mean? Do you have to snatch it from me?"
Luo Guiqi was unhappy and shouted with a fierce face.
"What do you mean by competing with you? The one who pays the highest price gets the highest price. That's only natural."
Li Bin retorted.
If it was an ordinary person, he could give the director of women's affairs some face.
But big carp is so rare that we can’t give up.
"That's right, I'll give it to whoever offers the highest price. Why should I sell it to you?"
Several male educated youth joined in.
They have a good relationship with Li Bin. If they really buy fish, Li Bin will eat the meat and they can also drink some soup.
"You bunch of vagrants, you don't work hard, you just eat!"
Luo Guiqi was extremely angry.
But it is impossible for her to go to her brother-in-law Zhou Huanghai for help.
She gritted her teeth and made another bid: "I'll bid 100 yuan!"
"Five dollars!"
Li Bin then made an offer.
His parents are both workers and the family is not short of money.
Luo Guizhen glared at him fiercely.
Although she has money, it is all earned by her brother-in-law, which is not easy...
In the crowd, Zhao Shulan and her eldest son Wang Tiezhu stood together.
"Oh, if we buy the big carp..."
Zhao Shulan watched eagerly.
Her daughter-in-law was also in confinement after giving birth and was worried about having nothing to produce milk.
"Mom, don't you have a good relationship with Jianan's mother? Why don't you go and talk to her?"
Of course Wang Tiezhu also wanted to buy fish for his wife.
But Zhao Shulan shook her head.
"Even if we have a good relationship, we can't just take someone's fish for free. Look at what Li Bin and Luo Guiyin offered..."
"It's not easy for Jian'an to recover from his illness, and it's not easy for him to catch a fish either."
"Forget it. I heard that Old Qian's family has five eggs. Mom will go buy them."
Zhao Shulan secretly calculated that the money in her pocket was just enough to buy eggs.
But eggs can't compare to big carp...
At this time, Li Bin had already raised the price to seven dollars and fifty cents, and Luo Guiyin did not bid again.
Chen Jianan made the final decision on the deal.
"That's too much. Let's drink fish soup together tonight!"
Li Bin was not stingy and spoke to his friends next to him, and the male educated youth became excited.
Chen Jianan took the money and asked Li Bin to take the big carp away.
Then, he took the silver carp out of the sack.
When everyone saw the big carp being sold, they were about to leave.
Unexpectedly, there were fish!
"Chen Jianan actually caught two big fish at once. How did he do it?"
"Isn't it caught in the wild grass beach? That's the only place in the village where there are fish."
"He dared to enter the puddle in the wasteland? Isn't he afraid of drowning?"
"We don't need to worry about it. They've caught the fish anyway."
"Oh, I didn't expect Chen Jianan, who looked so sick earlier, to be so successful now."
"If I had known, I would have gone to the wasteland to catch fish."
"You wish. What kind of place is that? Don't risk your life there!"
There have been too many examples in the village of people trying to get food from the wasteland but ending up dying there.
So, everyone talks about it, but no one really dares to try it.
They just envied Chen Jianan.
"Chen Jianan, this fish is a size smaller than a carp, why don't you sell it to me for five dollars!"
The women's director Luo Guiying was originally very disappointed.
But after seeing the silver carp, his eyes lit up and he thought the opportunity had come.
Although silver carp is smaller than carp, it is more nutritious when stewed in soup.
And there are only a few rich people in the village.
Li Bin bought the carp, so it’s impossible for him to have money to buy the silver carp, right?
Luo Guiyin saw this point clearly and made simple preparations.
She looked at Li Bin proudly.
You idiot, you spent seven dollars and fifty cents to buy a carp.
After offering the price, Luo Guiyin thought he could definitely win it. A proud look appeared on his face as he glanced at the villagers around him.
Five dollars is actually not a small amount of money, so everyone kept silent.
"Haha, no one bids anymore, this fish belongs to me!"
Luo Guiyin grinned with great joy and walked forward to take the fish.
Chen Jianan spoke up: "When did I say I wanted to sell this fish?"
"ah?"
Luo Guiyin was stunned.
The people around also showed surprised expressions.
I don’t know what Chen Jianan is up to.
"Auntie, come here for a moment."
Chen Jianan had already seen Zhao Shulan in the crowd and waved at her.
"Mom, Chen Jianan is calling you."
"Ah? Calling me?"
Zhao Shulan was a little confused and walked out of the crowd.
"Aunt, your daughter-in-law is in confinement after giving birth, so I'll give you this fish."
Chen Jianan pointed at the carp and said.
"What? Give it to Zhao Shulan?"
The crowd suddenly exploded.
This silver carp is worth five dollars.
Chen Jianan's family was notoriously poor in the village, but he was willing to give the fish away?
"Jian'an, how can this be possible?"
"It's not easy for you to catch a fish, you might as well sell it."
Zhao Shulan waved her hands quickly.
"Aunt, you gave my mother a steamed bread yesterday, this fish is your return gift."
"I, Chen Jianan, will repay any favor I receive."
Chen Jianan's tone was sonorous and powerful.
After all, money is just something outside of our body, but human feelings are more precious.
If you want to develop in the village, you must develop your network.
Moreover, establish the image of repaying kindness.
Suddenly, the people around started talking when they saw Chen Jianan's behavior.
Some people regretted why they didn't help Chen Jianan's family before.
Some people even thought that they would get along well with Chen Jianan's family in the future...
Zhao Shulan originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Jianan was firm in his attitude.
And her daughter-in-law really needed the fish, so she could only accept it with gratitude.
"Brother Jianan, thank you."
"Don't say too much. If you need help in the future, just speak up."
Wang Tiezhu stepped forward, held Xiao Yu in his hands, and spoke seriously.
"Damn it, Brother Tiezhu."
Chen Jianan smiled slightly.
Zhao Shulan has three sons, all of whom are very strong.
The two families originally had a good relationship.
Now that I have received a favor from Wang Tiezhu, he will definitely support me if anything happens in the future.
Zhou Huanghe and his lackeys not only bullied his own family, but also brought such terrible harm to the village.
Chen Jianan was ready to deal with him as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a shrill sound was heard.
"Where's that kid Chen Jianan?"
"Don't let him get away!"
A group of people pushed through the crowd violently and rushed out.
The leader was Li Tielong, who was wrapped in a torn bed sheet, followed by two vagrants from the village.
At the very end was Zhou Xiaochuan, who was limping and holding his butt with a sinister look on his face.
He glared at Chen Jianan fiercely, like a vicious wolf.
