Chapter 98 Luck
"Once the bribery is discovered, it will be a capital crime. If you don't want to live, you can just jump into the sea. There's no need to drag our family with you to be buried with you!"
Li Cuicui said lightly: "How can it be so serious?"
Song Hemao was also speechless to Li Cuicui. "Mother, bribery is definitely not an option. I went to the city to listen to storytellers, and I heard that bribes cost at least a hundred taels. How can our family afford that kind of money?"
Li Cuicui was stunned and said in surprise: "One hundred taels? That's too much."
She thought it was just like bribing Du Lizheng, giving him a piece of meat this month and a chicken next month.
Song Hewei said sinisterly, "As for the village head, I don't think we need to think about it, but there was another carriage coming to my eldest brother's house today. I guess it's the one you mentioned, transporting goods to their house."
They went to the city to look for work yesterday, but they didn't find any, so they didn't go today either.
Li Cuicui gave up the idea of asking Song Xiangqian to bribe her, and suddenly said with a look of jealousy, "So, Song Dalang really has found a noble lady?"
Song Hewei nodded: "Yes."
Li Cuicui thought about it, suddenly lifted the quilt and stretched her muscles.
Song Xiangqian asked doubtfully, "Are you healed?"
Li Cuicui rolled her eyes at him. "How could it be that fast? But I've been lying in bed for six days now, and I'm not in pain anymore. If Song Hexiu makes me unhappy, then of course I'll make him unhappy too."
If she continued lying there, Song Dalang's family would be out of her control.
They looked at each other and roughly guessed what Li Cuicui was going to do.
But can she really get any benefit?
…
On the other side, after Song Chuman and her family finished breakfast, Song Hezheng was about to get the wooden barrel when his eyes went dark and his body suddenly shook.
Sheng Shuwan hurriedly supported him.
Fortunately, Song Hexiu quickly regained consciousness. Seeing his family members looking at him with concern, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Sheng Shuwan was anxious, "With your current health, how can you go fishing?"
Song Chuman nodded: "Yes, father, you should rest, drink the medicine, lie down on the bed, and my brother and I will entertain the guests."
It was her mistake. As far as she could remember, Song Hexiu rarely had such a situation as today.
I should have known not to let him go fishing.
Song Hexiu hesitated a little: "But we can't just let the two children support the whole family."
Song Chuman smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay. When you get better, just continue making money. Everyone feels uncomfortable sometimes, so they need to rest."
Song Hexiu hesitated for a moment, and knowing that his daughter was right, he said with a look of relief, "Then I'll listen to you."
After persuading Song Hexiu, Song Chuman started making fishing bait again.
This time she made twenty.
Although fishing is more profitable, making bait is really mentally taxing.
She calculated carefully and decided that by catching twenty fish and then going to the sea, she could maximize her income.
Before leaving, Song Chuman asked her parents to take good care of the seagulls. She and her brother put five wooden barrels on a cart and walked quickly to the beach.
My mental strength has increased a little bit today compared to yesterday.
At this time, Xiao Xuanli and Ziyuan were catching seafood on the beach.
We only dug more than ten pits, but didn't even see the shadow of seafood.
Xiao Xuanli began to doubt his life. "Didn't those fishermen say that where there are holes in the sand there might be seafood? But I haven't found any holes with seafood. Is my luck that bad?"
Ziyuan looked at the ten holes he had dug and coughed lightly, "My luck isn't very good either."
