"Okay." With the money in her pocket, Mingjing picked up the basket and went out.
"Sis, I want to go too!"
Mingyue got up and followed. Her sister was beautiful and smart, and she loved following her sister around now.
"Be careful," Sun Yunmei instructed as she got up to clear the dishes.
Mingjing went out and went to her neighbor's house first, knocking on the door.
"Aunt Qin!"
The middle-aged woman opened the door with a smile, "Mingjing, Mingyue, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, an old woman pushed the woman aside and said irritably, "Didn't your family catch a big fish? My family has no money and no food to give you, so come on, come on!"
Mingyue smiled and said, "Auntie, we brought you some fish, yellow croaker. There's too much of it; we can't finish it all."
"Fish?" The old lady's eyes lit up. She craned her neck to look into the mirror frame, and her smile widened. "Oh dear, I've been blind."
"Auntie, this fish is good for your health, eat more," Mingjing said, handing the fish head to the old lady in a calm voice.
The old lady is no good, but her daughter-in-law is a decent person. She helped the original owner a lot before, so she can be considered to be repaying the original owner's debt of gratitude.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Mingyue." The old lady took the fish with a smile, poured it into the pot in the kitchen, and came out to return the fish plate.
The old lady wanted to say something more, but Mingjing turned and left.
The fishing village had a total of about twenty households, and Mingjing gave gifts to a few households that had a good relationship with the Ming family.
There was one plate of yellow croaker left when Mingjing ran into Ming Lao Er, who was leaving the house.
"A clear mirror!"
Ming Lao Er, wearing a T-shirt and smoking a pipe, was tall and thin, and swayed as he approached Ming Jing.
"Oh, you've come all this way, why did you bring anything? We have everything at home," Ming Lao Er said politely, reaching out with a smile to lift the floral cloth from the basket.
"Wow, yellow croaker!" Ming Lao Er's eyes lit up.
Mingjing took a step back. "Since my second uncle's family doesn't need anything, then I won't send it."
She took out forty yuan and handed it to Ming Lao Er, saying coldly, "Second Uncle, here's forty yuan. Don't bother asking my family for more. I'm in a hurry to deliver fish to everyone. I'm leaving now."
Mingjing left.
Ming Lao Er took the money, his lips twitched, and he chased after Ming Jing, "Ming Jing, you must have made a lot of money catching so many fish. You really didn't find any abalone pearls?"
"Second Uncle, I really didn't touch the abalone. This thing is passed down from father to son, you should ask my brother."
After Mingjing finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at him and left.
Not even one yellow croaker was much; Mingjing delivered it and went straight home.
That evening, the Ming family sat at the dinner table, munching on the snails that Sun Yunmei had just brought back.
Bright and quiet, she sat at the dining table, behaving like a good student.
"Dad, I've made up my mind. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to go fishing with you and be your good son."
Upon hearing this, the Ming family members stood there stunned.
"Brother, are you really going to fish with Dad?" Mingyue put down the snail in her hand and licked her lips.
"Yes, Mom and Dad, I was a jerk before, but I promise I'll change from now on!"
Bright words brought tears to Ming Dahai's eyes.
He thought to himself that his son had finally grown up.
Mingjing looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Can a person suddenly become better for no reason? She didn't believe it.
"Mom, give me that 20,000 yuan, I'll use it to pay off my debts, and I'll never borrow money again."
Sun Yunmei nodded excitedly, still somewhat dazed, "Okay, I'll go get it."
"Mom!" Mingjing grabbed Sun Yunmei, "You pay back the money yourself today. Don't wait for the creditors to come knocking on your door; it won't look good."
Her bright eyes seemed to devour him, but she turned and smiled apologetically, "Mingjing is right, Mom. You should go and pay it back. I was really a jerk before. I don't deserve to be trusted."
Sun Yunmei's eyes reddened, and her voice was hoarse, "Okay, I'll go in a bit."
"Dad, my older brother has really changed. I remember the two acres of rice at home are almost ripe, right?"
Ming Dahai nodded, his eyes red-rimmed. "Yes, it's ripe. It's early rice. The temperature on the mountain is just right, so it ripens quickly."
"Big brother, go to the fields and harvest the rice tomorrow. Dad can't go to the fields because of his gout."
“Okay,” Mingliang agreed through gritted teeth.
After finishing their meal, before it got dark, Mingliang took Mingdahai and Sun Yunmei to find the creditor to repay the debt.
With nothing to do, Mingjing lay on her bed, checking the day's results. When she saw the numbers on the homepage, she suddenly sat up.
Base points: 3000, Praise points: 750, Luck value: 0
It seems that sending fish is quite an effective tactic.
If you were to open a restaurant, wouldn't changing ships be a piece of cake?
Mingjing put away the screen with satisfaction, touched the mermaid jade pendant around her neck a couple of times, and slowly closed her eyes.
The next day, Mingjing changed into a red plaid dress early in the morning and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
"Mom, I need to go to town today. Give me fifty yuan."
Since she had no luck today and wouldn't find anything while beachcombing, she might as well go for a stroll in the streets.
"Buy more pork," Sun Yunmei said, turning around and going inside to hand Mingjing a fifty-yuan note.
"good."
Mingjing took the money, went back into the house to change into stylish little red leather shoes, and then took out a white dress from the closet for Mingyue, saying, "Put this on and come with me to town."
Mingyue paused for a moment, her eyes reddening, then turned and went back into the house to change. She couldn't get enough of looking at herself in the mirror.
"It's really beautiful, I'll give it to you," Mingjing said, examining it closely.
Actually, Mingyue isn't that ugly. She's fifteen years old, 1.65 meters tall, with an oval face and big, bright almond-shaped eyes. It's just that the birthmark is too noticeable.
"Thank you, sister!" Mingyue took Mingjing's hand, her joy visibly evident.
Mingliang, with his large frame on his back, watched the two figures from behind, a hint of unreadable emotion hidden in his eyes, before turning and leaving.
The two attracted a lot of attention as they walked down the street.
The fishing village is surrounded by the sea, and the only way to get to town is by passenger boat at the dock. Two tickets costing five cents each took the two of them to town.
After getting off the boat, Mingyue was stunned.
The dock was lined with restaurants and hotels, and the aroma of breakfast made Mingyue unable to resist. Even though she had already eaten, she could still devour two large bowls of seafood noodles.
"Mingyue, let's buy what we need first. Once we've saved some money, I'll buy you something delicious." Mingjing knew Mingyue had a sweet tooth, and she was also a bit confused about the taste.
Mingyue nodded. "Sister, where are we going?"
"Buy clothes."
Mingjing led Mingyue into a clothing store.
