Back home, Mingjing took a shower and went to bed early.
Before going to bed, Mingliang opened the fishing tackle shop. His points were 7835. His praise points and luck value remained unchanged.
Mingjing browsed the fishing tackle shop and found that there were many new fish foods and fishing gear, and even more medicine pills.
They have everything imaginable: underwater breathing pills, charm pills, pore-shrinking pills, and weight-loss pills.
The specific ingredients are a blend of sea fish and marine life, made into pure herbal pills, the most expensive of which is comparable to a ship.
Mingjing glanced around, found nothing of interest, closed the fishing tackle shop, and went to bed early.
The next morning, Ming Dahai and his wife, along with Mingyue, got up early to go beachcombing.
After washing up and feeding the chickens and ducks, Mingjing slurped up a couple of mouthfuls of rice porridge and prepared to go out to gather information about yesterday's battle.
Knowing that Mingjing has been catching big fish lately, the villagers greet him warmly when they see him, and even after walking a distance, they whisper about how much money Mingjing has made recently.
Although Mingjing didn't say it to the public, the fact that wealthy people kept coming to the village and even giving them mobile phones had already spread. Everyone said that the Ming family now had tens of millions in assets and they were thinking about how to curry favor with them.
Mingjing listened to the group discussing her net worth and felt smug, proving the saying that success brings good people into your life.
As they passed the convenience store, Old Wang waved to her.
"Mingjing, where are we going?"
"Let's take a look around," Mingjing replied after stopping.
"Mingjing, are you alright? I heard from the villagers that you're in big trouble and going to jail."
"That's nonsense. I have a good relationship with the police; they just invited me for a cup of tea."
"Did you understand the meaning of that tea?"
Mingjing nodded and was about to walk to the busiest part of the dock to inquire about information when she happened to run into Yu Daniu riding his bicycle toward the dock.
Without needing to say more, Mingjing knew that things had been done and there was no need to go to the dock. He turned around and walked back.
As they passed the fork in the road, Mingjing saw Mingliang being driven out of his house by Old Man Qian.
"You should leave now, Jiu'er and you are not suitable!"
Brightly lit up his luggage was thrown out, the door was closed, and Brightly stood at the Qian family's door, annoyed, packing his bedding.
"Mingliang, where are you going?" Mingjing asked, standing not far away with her arms crossed.
Mingjing raised her angry eyes and glared at Mingjing, "Are you happy that I was kicked out?"
"What do you mean? It's the Qian family who don't want you. I said I just wanted a motorcycle, but they wouldn't give it to me. It seems you're not as important as a motorcycle."
"Over the years, you've given the Qian family far more than just the price of a motorcycle; they haven't taken you seriously at all."
"Shut up!" Mingliang roared.
Mingjing stepped forward and glanced at him disdainfully. "If you want to go back to the Ming family, there's a way. Go and get back the things you gave to the Qian family in exchange for money."
"Either you take the motorcycle back, or you stay at the Qian family's place. It's your choice."
Mingliang wasn't stupid. Over the years, he had practically given Qian Jiu'er his heart and soul. With that 30,000 yuan, it would be at least 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. If he couldn't get it back, he would be ridiculed by the villagers.
But he was unwilling to give up just like that.
"It seems you still want to stay in the Qian family. I have a way."
Mingjing saw through Mingliang's thoughts and quickly came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Tell me about it.
"Wait for me at the beach at 10 p.m. tonight. I'll help you arrange to meet Qian Jiu'er. You can propose right away with my old cell phone. It's guaranteed to work."
Bright stared at the mirror with a mixture of belief and doubt.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I want a motorcycle, and you want to marry Qian Jiu'er, that's not mutually exclusive. You should go home first."
Mingliang hesitated as he carried the shop home; he had nowhere else to go if he didn't go home.
After seeing Mingliang off, Mingjing turned and headed towards the dock, spending five cents to take a boat to town.
She walked into a small shop, headed towards the stationery section, and picked up a fountain pen, a pencil, a bottle of blue ink, and a notebook.
Then I took a bunch of incense sticks and a box of mung bean cakes to pay the bill.
After leaving the supermarket, I went to the fruit stand and bought two pounds of apples, two pounds of bananas, and two pounds of oranges.
"Ten yuan in total!"
His voice was warm and magnetic. Mingjing took out his money, looked up, and was stunned.
The boy in front of me was around twenty years old, with fair skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His buzz cut made him look very energetic, and he was 1.85 meters tall with a straight back.
He looks like a soldier.
"It's you?"
Mingjing was taken aback, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Don't you remember me? Seafood shop owner, you were the one who came to my shop to sell goods last time."
"Hmm, I remember now, you set up a stall here?"
"No, I'm still in the army. I came back on leave. This is my aunt's stall. She's been busy harvesting fruit lately and can't leave, so I came over to help out for a couple of days."
"I haven't seen you for several days. Are you out of stock lately?"
The boy's smile was like a gentle breeze, and his bright eyes made Mingjing a little embarrassed.
"My name is Xie Jun'an, I'm twenty-two years old. What's your name? Do you live in town?"
"Uh, Mingjing! Eighteen years old. There aren't many good goods lately, so I've been buying them at home and selling them."
Mingjing sized up Xie Junan. His family owned such a large seafood restaurant, and his aunt sold fruit. Judging from her tone, she also owned an orchard. He seemed to be a rich second-generation.
She thought for a moment and took out a wad of small bills to hand to Xie Jun'an. "It doesn't seem like enough. I don't have much change with me. Could you take away one apple?"
Xie Junan counted the money. "It's only five yuan short. It's alright, you can take it. I'll take care of it."
"Thank you, I'll pay you back next time I come."
Mingjing smiled sweetly at him.
"No need, just buy more seafood from my dad. He has a lot of connections. Next time you come, I'll ask him to give you a discount, even more than in the city."
"Besides, my dad said last time that he made a fortune thanks to you, so I should give it to you for free."
"Does your dad have connections?" Mingjing asked with concern.
Xie Junan nodded, "Of course, my dad has been running a seafood restaurant for many years. He knows a lot of seafood restaurant owners, as well as owners of big restaurants in the city."
Don't go to the city next time. If you really want to go, come find me. I can drive, and I'll take you there for free.
Hearing this, Mingjing was stunned.
How did he know she went to the city to sell seafood?
“I saw you when you went down to the dock yesterday, I was buying something nearby.”
Mingjing nodded. She had only met this person once before, but she didn't expect him to remember him so clearly.
"Do you want anything else? Mangoes? Durian? These are all grown by my aunt herself. She can give them to you if you want. Money isn't an issue."
Mingjing shook her head and smiled, "No need, your aunt needs to earn money too, how can I give it away for free? Besides, it's very heavy, it's inconvenient for me to carry it back."
"Okay then, leave me your contact information and I'll deliver it to your house. I'm too busy to leave right now."
Mingjing thought for a moment and nodded, then gave a number. "This is my number. I have your dad's phone number. I'll return the five yuan to you next time I come."
"Alright, give me a call if you have any seafood, and I'll come pick it up myself."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Mingjing carried the fruit back home. Passing by a butcher shop, she bought two pounds of pork belly and two pig trotters. Seeing an old woman selling cheap prawns by the roadside, she bought a few pounds of those as well.
She's going home to make some braised pork and braised pig's trotters. It's been a few days since she's worked on getting high-level equipment, so she's going to show off her skills today.
When she got home, Mingjing put her things in the kitchen and then went inside.
"Sis, what are you doing?"
When Mingyue returned from looking in the mirror, she ran over to ask him mysteriously.
"Keep your voice down." The pen cap was unscrewed, and the soft tubing diligently drew in blue ink. Once full, Mingjing's eyes darted around as she asked, "Mingyue, can you write?"
