crossroads.
Gu Anran's expression immediately tensed as she watched the vendors approaching.
"Excuse me, girl."
"We were wrong before."
"You can come and set up your stall anytime from now on; this spot is yours."
"Yes, we'll keep an eye on things for you, so no one will dare to take your place."
Gu Anran looked surprised.
"If you had just said you were Boss Gao's sister, we wouldn't have dared to cause you any trouble even if you gave us a hundred lives."
"sorry."
"Please forgive me..."
Gu Anran suddenly realized.
This was the first time she had met Gao Qiangqi; he was Wu An's friend.
She didn't hold back after gaining the upper hand; she said some polite words, and everyone dispersed.
The problem of the vendors causing her trouble had been bothering her for a long time, and she had no way to solve it. In the end, Wu An solved it so easily.
"He did me such a big favor, and he didn't even say a word."
Gu Anran muttered to herself, perhaps for Wu An it was just a matter of saying a few words, but for her it was a huge favor she owed.
...
Wu An rode the motorcycle, while A Qing sat behind him, watching the fishing box.
The fishing box is Old Mai's, and it contains five grouper.
When I arrived at my doorstep, there were quite a few people chatting idly.
The sky has cleared up.
It had just rained, and the air was very cool. The villagers were chatting idly in twos and threes at their doorsteps, passing the time. When they saw the two people riding back on a motorcycle, they all curiously gathered around to watch.
"I heard you two went fishing?"
"Hey, did you catch a fish?"
"Oh, these are groupers, one, two, three... five in total."
"Those two rascals are lucky; these few groupers can sell for several hundred."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their words filled with envy.
Sister Duan was also standing on tiptoe to watch, muttering, "They actually caught one, they really got lucky."
Mei Yueqin quickly said, "Your clothes are still wet, go inside and change."
Wu An responded.
He found a basin and emptied four grouper from the fishing box, leaving one in the box. He handed it to Aqing and said, "Take this back with you."
"Brother, you've already given me so much money, I don't need this fish." Aqing quickly waved his hand, took the fishing gear from the carriage and put it aside, then turned to leave.
"Take it." Wu An paused, then said, "If you keep being so polite, don't bother with me anymore."
"This... alright then." Ah Qing finally took the fishing box, but he almost dropped it. His hands were shaking so badly that he had managed to hold on until now thanks to sheer grit.
Seeing this, Wu An said, "Get in the car."
"I'll ride my bike and take you home."
Aqing smiled wryly: "Thank you for your trouble, brother."
"What are you saying?" Wu An pushed the car out again, greeted everyone, and then drove A Qing out.
"This kid has really learned his lesson."
"That's right. A grouper like that could easily sell for a hundred or two hundred, and you just gave it to Aqing like that. That's quite generous of you."
"Even with the best luck, it's still not doing your job properly."
"He didn't finish college and now he's out fishing at the beach. He got lucky for a while, but can he live off that for the rest of his life?"
"Too."
"I still need to find a legitimate way to make a living."
Most of the villagers watching were simply envious and jealous, while a few maliciously gossiped, but Mei Yueqin pretended not to hear them.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that these two are on good terms; they'll fall out sooner or later."
"I heard that the Lin brothers, Lin Bin and Lin Hu, got into a fight this morning while they were fishing."
"Yes, he was beaten really badly. Lin Bin even had to go to the hospital for stitches."
"What happened?"
“I saw it with my own eyes, listen to me tell you…”
Everyone was immediately drawn in and started gossiping.
Mei Yueqin also listened attentively.
...
"You've earned another 1200 in just half a day?" Li Juan quickly counted the money and looked at Wu An, asking, "An, did you and Qing really go fishing?"
She wasn't worrying unnecessarily.
The main problem was that these two people had changed so much, and their luck was just too good. Plus, they both had criminal records, so she couldn't help but overthink it.
Aqing opened the fishing box: "Mom, what are you asking?"
"My brother and I went fishing, of course."
"Look, these are the grouper that were kept and not sold."
When Li Juan saw the grouper, she exclaimed, "This fish must sell for at least two hundred yuan! We can't keep it to eat!"
Wu An said, "Auntie, keep it."
"We're making money now, so a hundred or two won't make a difference."
"I kept four, but I'm only giving one to your family. Please don't mind."
Li Juan glared: "What are you talking about?"
“If we still feel that the distribution is unfair, then we'd be ungrateful.”
"I'm overjoyed that you're willing to take Aqing with you."
Wu An smiled and rode away.
Aqing asked, "Mom, how do we cook this fish?"
"Let's steam half and braise the other half," Li Juan said, looking at the grouper in the fishing box with delight. "We haven't eaten such an expensive fish in years."
Ah Qing said, "That's nothing, I even caught a spiny lobster."
"My brother also said that when we have more money in the future and catch some good fish, we should save some for us to try first."
Li Juan quickly said, "Then you have to try to persuade them."
"Such expensive seafood, we should sell it to get money."
"It's too hot for me to eat alone."
Aqing scratched her head: "I won't try to persuade you. I think what you said is right."
"Mom, you're my biological mother, but I have to listen to my brother."
"..." Li Juan looked at the money in her hand, shook her head and didn't say anything more. Seeing A Qing yawning, she said, "You've been busy for most of the day, take a shower and go to sleep."
Aqing shook her head: "No rush, no rush, I'm just feeling dizzy from eating too much. Let me finish your work for you first."
Li Juan smiled: "This child..."
...
Wu An rode his bike back home. The villagers who had come to chat had all left. Old Meng was sitting at the door smoking. He greeted them, rode his bike into the yard, and said, "Uncle Meng, come over for a drink tonight."
"Okay," Old Meng replied, then asked, "I heard you caught several groupers?"
Wu An smiled and nodded: "Good luck."
After saying that, he went home.
When Mei Yueqin saw him return, she asked, "You really don't plan to sell these?"
Wu An said, "Not for sale."
"These are the ones I specifically kept."
Mei Yueqin hesitated: "But these fish can sell for a thousand or eight hundred."
Wu An smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I earned a little over ten thousand today, so I don't really care about a thousand or eight hundred. Besides, this grouper is very nutritious and good for your health."
"My God, you didn't go fishing? How could you earn so much?" Mei Yueqin exclaimed in shock. "You've only been there a short time, maybe half a day at most."
Wu An nodded.
That's how it is. Most of the fish caught are grouper. These fish are very valuable, costing one or two hundred yuan each, and you can catch one in just a few minutes.
How could this money not be easy to earn?
Therefore, he and Aqing could not stay in one place for long; they had to move from place to place after each mission, otherwise they would be too conspicuous and easily arouse envy and hatred.
So, first you need to buy a boat, and then a motorcycle. With a boat, you can go out to sea, and then you can ride a motorcycle to town to sell seafood.
Only in this way can one make money quietly as much as possible.
