Four or five people almost turned the yard of the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment upside down, but still couldn't find the fish.
Zhao Wenwen didn't believe it and went to look for it herself. She didn't find any fish, but she discovered that they had stored a lot of food, including a large tank of rice and flour.
There was also meat and dozens of eggs.
Not to mention snacks, there are plenty of melon seeds, peanuts, candies and chocolates.
In addition to apples and oranges, there are also many frozen pears.
Is this what they thought Yang Zhaozhao, who was probably so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat and had only earned four months' work points, should be living?
Thinking back to when Li Lihua said Li Yiling's family was well-off, now I finally know how well-off they were.
If it weren't for Li Yiling, Yang Zhaozhao would have starved to death long ago.
When Zhao Wenwen thought of Yang Zhaozhao who was living a good life with Li Yiling, she hated him so much!
As a woman, why can Yang Zhaozhao meet such a good man and have no worries about food and clothing, while she can't sleep because of fifty yuan?
When Zhao Wenwen was envious and jealous, Yang Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Zhao Zhiqing, did you find the fish you mentioned? If not, shouldn't you send me some?"
Zhao Wenwen was not convinced. She looked at everyone who got nothing. She herself didn't look for fish, and she didn't even see any fish scales, let alone fish.
Zhao Wenwen finally set her sights on Xiao Cui. Children, once tricked, would tell the truth: "Your name is Xiao Cui, right? Tell me, where are the fish hidden in your house?"
Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes when he looked at Zhao Wenwen, who didn't even let the child go.
Li Yiling had expected this and gave Xiao Cui an encouraging look.
Xiao Cui recalled Li Yiling's words and said innocently and cutely, "We don't have any fish at home. I want to eat fish. Sister, can you send us some fish? You are so kind, sister!"
Zhao Wenwen looked on in disbelief, but refused to give in. "Xiao Cui is a good girl, and good girls can't lie. Just tell me if you went fishing in the river, and I'll buy you something delicious."
"Sister, are you going to take me fishing?" Xiao Cui refused fearfully: "No, Sister Zhaozhao said that the fish belong to everyone and you can't fish without permission. What you're doing is wrong. I'm going to report you!"
Zhao Wenwen: “…”
Yang Zhaozhao laughed heartily: "Zhao Wenwen, please stop making things difficult for the child. When will your fish be delivered to us? I'm waiting to put it in the pot!"
Zhao Wenwen looked unhappy.
Lin Chaozhi ran over and glared at Zhao Wenwen: "How can you make such a blind report? You think you have wronged Yang Zhiqing, don't you apologize to him?"
Zhao Wenwen was unwilling: "Sorry, I saw it wrong!"
Yang Zhaozhao accepted her apology: "No, after all, your eyes are not big enough to see clearly who was wronged. It's normal. I don't blame you."
"But I can't give you less than five catties of fish. If you can't afford the fish, you can give me four yuan. Fish is eight yuan a catty now, so five catties is four yuan. Am I right?"
Zhao Wenwen had four dollars, but she was reluctant to spend it.
She had saved up fifteen dollars with great difficulty, and gave her four dollars, leaving herself with only eleven dollars. She was reluctant to spend it.
"I'll give you the fish." Zhao Wenwen gritted her teeth secretly. She couldn't have been wrong. If she had to blame someone, she should blame Yang Zhaozhao and the others for being too cunning and hiding the fish in advance.
It’s hateful that I have to pay for a fish!
Where did Zhao Wenwen get the fish?
Thinking of the place where Yang Zhaozhao and the others were fishing, Zhao Wenwen narrowed her eyes and had a bold idea in her mind.
Lin Chao led his men away and scolded Zhao Wenwen along the way. Zhao Wenwen only had fishing to pay off her debts in her mind and didn't listen much.
As soon as they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yiling even reached out his hand towards Yang Zhaozhao's neck, frightening Yang Zhaozhao so much that she looked at him warily: "What are you doing?"
"There is a fish scale on the neck. It must have been got there accidentally. Fortunately, they didn't notice it." Li Yiling pointed to the location of the fish scale.
Yang Zhaozhao asked Xiao Cui to pick it for her to avoid suspicion, and asked Xiao Cui to keep watch at the door. Yang Zhaozhao steamed fish in the kitchen, made pickled fish fillets, and stewed fish soup for Grandma Cui.
That night, the fish were full. As they ate, they thought about the thrilling encounter they had. The two adults and the child looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
When Grandma Cui heard them laughing, she also curled her eyes.
After eating, he did not forget to destroy the body to avoid a surprise inspection.
It snowed in the evening. No one likes to go out on snowy days, and Yang Zhaozhao was the same. She just wanted to read and review at home. Whatever she thought of, she put on her thick coat and went out.
"Where?" Li Yiling was curious.
Yang Zhaozhao smiled and waved: "Let's go and watch the fun!"
Li Yiling followed without thinking. Xiao Cui also wanted to go out. It was too cold, so he asked her to stay at home with Grandma Cui. Yang Zhaozhao and the other two adults went out.
Thinking about the heavy snow, Zhao Wenwen returned a five-jin fish. She was not greedy and just wanted her to catch a big fish to pay off her debt. She took advantage of the situation and broke into the ice hole that Li Yiling had dug yesterday.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to catch one fish, and then two more.
After casting the net several times, she caught more than a dozen fish, large and small, weighing about 30 to 40 kilograms. She planned to sell them secretly in Qian County.
He also needed to borrow a bicycle. There were only a few bicycles in the village. Yang Zhaozhao did have one, and it was new, but he had offended her just now, so he didn't dare to ask for it.
Just when Zhao Wenwen was calculating how much money she could get from selling these fish, and that fifty yuan would be the best, she saw a group of people approaching aggressively.
If the leader is not Yang Zhaozhao wearing a red scarf, who is he?
She realized that she had been discovered. If she was caught, it would be too late for her to say anything, and she would be mercilessly ridiculed and retaliated against by Yang Zhaozhao.
Can't get caught!
Zhao Wenwen dropped the fish and turned and ran away.
Unfortunately, the river was frozen and slippery. Before she could take two steps, she stepped on a frozen grass carp, slipped, and fell into the ice hole.
The cold water instantly submerged her, freezing her limbs numb and her heart tightening.
The heat was robbed by the gaze, and the cold came over her. Zhao Wenwen was desperate and screamed: "Help~"
She opened her mouth, cold water poured in, and she sank to the bottom of the lake.
When Zhao Wenwen thought that she would die in the river today, she felt so unwilling!
It’s all Yang Zhaozhao’s fault, it’s all her fault!
If she died, the evil ghost would first find Yang Zhaozhao and would make sure she would not be able to rest in peace.
Just when Zhao Wenwen was regaining consciousness, someone grabbed her cold wrist and pulled her up with great force. In her daze, Zhao Wenwen seemed to see Li Yiling's face.
There was a sound of splashing water, and Li Yiling's hands were frozen. Yang Zhaozhao quickly put a coat on him and said, "Are you cold? Are you okay? Come back and take a hot bath."
"I didn't."
Li Yiling shook his head and untied the rope around his waist. That was the safety rope he was wearing when he went into the water to save people. If it weren't for Li Yiling, Zhao Wenwen would really have died at the bottom of the river.
Zhao Wenwen fell on the ice, her face ashen and shivering from the cold.
Yang Zhaozhao is not a saint.
Why would she take off her coat for someone who hurt her? What if she caught a cold?
Zhao Wenwen deserves it.
You deserve it.
It’s retribution in this life!
It was merciful of Yang Zhaozhao not to applaud.
Seeing that Yang Zhaozhao was unwilling to take off his coat to keep Zhao Wenwen warm, Lin Chao had no choice but to take off his own coat and cover Zhao Wenwen with it. He would settle the score for secretly fishing later, but human lives were at stake now.
Everyone knew about Zhao Wenwen's fish theft that day. The fish had already been brought ashore, so they decided to catch a few more and give one to each household as a snack for everyone.
The punishment Zhao Wenwen deserved was quite severe. She was fined 20 yuan and had to publicly reflect on her behavior and apologize after she recovered.
Zhao Wenwen: “…”
God is unfair to me!
Zhao Wenwen regretted why she didn't bring Yang Zhaozhao to catch the fish when she saw him fishing, but waited until she hid the fish!
Zhao Wenwen is so angry!
