Chapter 127 This Woman Is Poisonous
After breakfast in the morning, Zhang Ze went out on his bicycle and came back with two emperor fish weighing about ten kilograms, a blue-spotted swordfish weighing about twenty kilograms, ten and a half kilograms of tiger prawns, and a two and a half kilograms of tricolor calamus.
"Aze, where did these come from?" Zhang Huihong was a little surprised.
"I went to the dock and bought some from the returning fishermen. They're very cheap, and you can make fish balls out of them. You can have the king prawns and tiger prawns tonight. They're delicious and nutritious."
Of course, the things were taken out from the space. All the tiger prawns left in the space weighed more than half a pound, and there were still seventy or eighty pounds in total.
There are not many tricolor calamus, and there are still two in the space.
All the emperor fish were taken out. Originally, we were planning to eat them at home, but now that we want to sell fish balls, we might as well take them out and make and sell them.
He didn't own the swordfish himself, so he bought it.
But I didn’t go to the pier. Instead, I came across a small fish stall on the road and bought some.
He bought this because the main raw material for fish balls in the future will be mackerel. It is cheap and the fish balls made from it taste good. He is not sure if he can get emperor fish every day.
In the future, the main product will be mackerel balls. The other kind of fish balls will be like blind boxes. He will sell whatever he catches.
"You... you can fish yourself, why are you buying fish? Really!" As expected, Zhang's mother nags again. After she says this, she turns to look at Tong Shuyao, "Shuyao, did Aze give you the money?"
"Mom, Aze gave me two thousand, and now I have three thousand." Tong Shuyao whispered in her ear.
Yesterday she watched a play, but since her husband is making so much money now, she thinks it’s okay to spend some money. And this money is basically used at home to improve the family’s food and living expenses, etc., which she thinks is also good.
"Three, three thousand?" Zhang Huihong was extremely surprised. She knew her son had a lot of money, but she didn't expect it to be so much.
No wonder the radio and sewing machine were so luxurious yesterday.
"You should use it sparingly, and stop being so lavish."
In the end, Zhang's mother, out of pride, muttered something and left it alone.
Zhang Ze smiled and winked at his wife who spoke for him, then carried the fish into the house and started to scrape the fish meat.
He only needs to scrape the fish meat into a paste, which is the most troublesome part of making fish balls. The rest of the operations are very simple and Zhang's mother can do it herself.
When he had scraped the emperor fish into a paste, Tong Shuyao walked into the kitchen and said, "Come out, Aze, Qing He and his brother are here. They said something big happened in the village and it's related to you."
"Is it related to me?" Zhang Ze was confused. After he moved to Wenshui City, he had almost no contact with that place. He only had contact with the captain's family. How could it be related to him? When he came to the small shop in front, he found Zhang's mother sitting on a stool, looking dazed, as if she had suffered a great shock. Zhang Ze's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"What's going on?"
"A big incident happened in the village. Your eldest cousin went out to sea to fish with others and encountered a huge tiger shark. The boat was capsized and two people were bitten to death. Your cousin was lucky enough to only lose a leg, but he lost too much blood and we don't know if he can survive." Zhang Qinghu explained hurriedly.
"Your grandparents couldn't bear the shock and fell ill and are now bedridden. They can't eat anything and they're probably going to die soon."
Zhang Qinghe was hesitant to speak. To be honest, he was not going to tell Zhang Ze about this, but his father and brother thought he should tell him.
Even though they have no contact, the ones lying in bed dying are his grandparents, so they are blood relatives. I think he should notify them no matter what.
"What do they do to their family? It's none of my business!" Zhang Ze had a cold expression. He would never forget how their mother was treated, not to mention for the rest of his life.
Zhang Qinghu sighed after hearing this and said nothing more. He was only responsible for notification.
Zhang Qinghe came over and patted his shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Tong Shuyao looked at him with some concern, but still accompanied Zhang's mother with Zhang Qing and Zhang Qian.
"Aze, come back with me to take a look, even if it's just for your father!" The store was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Huihong's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhang Ze opened his mouth, but finally had nothing to say. He could choose not to have anything to do with that family, but he could not ignore his father who once risked his life to protect him and his mother.
It was indeed the right thing for him to do on behalf of his father. Zhang Shouping knew that the relationship between the two families was bad, but he still asked his eldest son to inform them, obviously considering this point.
Zhang Ze came to see the two old people off for the last time, which can be regarded as mourning for his father, which is speechless.
"Okay, Qian and Qing, you guys stay home and take good care of Shuyao. You don't have to open the store. Mom and I will go back to the village first."
"Brother, don't worry, mom and I will take good care of sister-in-law." Zhang Qing patted her well-developed chest and assured.
Zhang Qian also nodded repeatedly beside her.
Tong Shuyao is pregnant now and really needs someone to stay at home to take care of her, otherwise he will be worried.
"If you have any problem, go find your cousins."
After giving another instruction, Zhang Ze got on his bicycle and took his mother to his eldest cousin's house, asking him to help keep an eye on his family for the next two days to prevent the women in the family from being bullied. Then he also went to Tong Yuanhang's house.
Arriving at the dock, Zhang Ze found that the dock was very busy today, and the harbor was almost full of small wooden boats of five or six meters.
When I got closer to take a look, I saw that the fishery administration had issued a notice prohibiting small boat fishermen from going out to sea. Currently, the fishery administration's vessels were patrolling, searching for the man-eating tiger shark and ensuring the safety of the nearshore waters.
At the same time, a reward of 500 yuan was offered. If fishermen with large boats caught a tiger shark, they could go to the fishery administration to claim the reward.
Zhang Ze suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were fewer large ships in the port than usual. Obviously, they all went out to earn the bounty. He just didn't know how much fuel these ship captains would have to pay.
Taking Zhang's mother on board, Zhang Qinghe and Zhang Qinghu also followed.
They also have to go back, and they have to attend the funeral when the person passes away.
The fishing boat started, and Zhang Ze went to Yuewan County Pier with some mixed feelings.
"Why would Zhang Wen want to go fishing? Isn't he going to take the college entrance exam?"
In the cab, Zhang Ze asked his doubts.
"Hehe, isn't it because Liu Qiaoqiao despised his poor family and wanted to divorce him?" Zhang Qinghe said this with a look of gloating on his face. "It seems that she heard that fishing is profitable now, so she asked the two of them to go out to sea together. Who knew they would encounter something like this."
When he talked about the latter part, he didn't gloat over the misfortune, but instead sighed a little.
He was also very fortunate at this moment. After hearing the news in the morning, he thought that if Liu Qiaoqiao had married him, would his final outcome have been so miserable?
Zhang Ze was speechless after hearing this. At this moment, he just felt that Liu Qiaoqiao was a poisonous woman.
No matter in the previous life or this life, the first man she was with always seemed to have a miserable ending.
Zhang Qinghe died instantly, and Zhang Wen ended up with a broken leg. Even if he survived, he would be useless in the future.

After arriving, I took the bus home. When Zhang Huihong appeared in the village, the village suddenly became lively.
Compared to Zhang Ze, who is not good at communicating, she has more acquaintances in the village.
Knowing that she had become rich, the neighbors who used to be on good terms with her all came over to try to get close to her.
Those who don't have a good relationship with you will naturally not come here to get scolded.
Zhang Ze would just smile politely or ignore him, but Zhang Huihong would just insult and curse him directly.
However, these former neighbors also knew the reason why they came back, so they didn't keep pestering them.
Zhang Ze and Zhang's mother walked towards Zhang's house. From a distance, he could hear scolding and crying coming from the Zhang family. It seemed quite lively.
"This is the family of Wang Dongxu and Zhang Cuisheng. I heard they have been making a fuss for two days. They want your cousin's family to pay for his life, but in fact they just want money."
When they got closer, they saw a large group of people gathered at the door. There were two shrews who were cursing and two young wives were crying next to them. Seeing this, Zhang Qinghu whispered the situation to Zhang Ze.
"Hey, Huihong and Azezhen are back."
"After all, he is a member of the Zhang family. It would be inappropriate for him not to come back."
"With the way the Zhang family treated them, it doesn't matter if they don't come back."
When Zhang Ze and others approached, the crowd watching the excitement noticed them and started talking a lot. They also made way for them to pass.
At this time, the two women who had been yelling and cursing brightened their eyes when they saw them.
"Zhang Huihong, your nephew took my son out to sea and he was eaten by a shark. You have to give us an explanation."
"Yes, this matter will not be resolved without 1,800 yuan."
Zhang Huihong rolled up her sleeves and was about to shout over when she was stopped by Zhang Ze.
It is different now than before. Everyone in the village knows that they are rich, and with a slap in the face, these shameless rural women will dare to lie on the ground and demand compensation.
Fighting was okay before, because most families in the village were not as poor as his, so they were the ones who were afraid.
"You want an explanation and you want 1,800 yuan?" Zhang Ze sneered, "Do you believe that if I give you this money, you will be arrested by the police tomorrow?"
"Who are you trying to scare? Both of our sons died because of Zhang Wen. It is only natural that we should pay compensation."
"What is the relationship between Zhang Wen and me, Zhang Ze? Why is he asking my mother for money? Do you know that this is extortion?"
After hearing the blackmail, the two women's momentum suddenly weakened, and even their daughter-in-law was a little scared and stopped crying.
"Go away. Don't block the road." Seeing that they backed down so quickly, Zhang Ze had no intention of letting Zhang Qinghe call the police to further scare them.
The death of the person cannot actually be blamed on Zhang Wen. Going out to sea is inherently dangerous and he can only blame himself for the bad luck.
These two families are just being unreasonable, but Zhang Ze is too lazy to care and just ignores them.
Pushing them aside, he took Zhang's mother into the Zhang family's yard, which had been smashed into a mess, and knocked on the door.
"It's me, Zhang Ze. I brought my mother here to see the old man."
There was no more shouting and cursing at the door, and his voice could be clearly heard inside the house.
The people in the room were a little surprised to hear his voice. They didn't expect that Zhang Ze and Zhang Huihong, whose relationship had long been severed, would come.
"Why are they here?" Brothers Zhang Guihong and Zhang Guichun looked at each other, very surprised by their arrival.
Gu Juan, Zhang Ze's second aunt, was delighted: "It's good that you came. They have money now. Let them pay for the trouble outside. They are all grandchildren of the Zhang family, so it's only right that they contribute a little."
