Chapter 76: Arapaima: It was you who begged the fish to live here
Aunt Yu's husband was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He limped over with a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, the ash almost falling out.
Hear what Aunt Yu said.
Uncle Yu frowned and spat, his deep nasolabial folds hiding a hint of dissatisfaction: "So this thing is ruining the fish pond. Get out of the way and let me kill it."
Bai Shao suddenly remembered that the arapaima is a national protected animal and was about to remind Aunt Yu and her husband.
The arapaima struggled.
"You begged the fish to live here, yet now you're clamoring to kill them! You bastard!"
Bai Shao didn't ignore this. Her eyes darkened and she turned to Aunt Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, the Arapaima said it was your husband who brought it to the fish pond."
Aunt Yu's grip on the fishing net loosened, her face changed, and she was completely stunned. She looked at her husband on the shore, feeling strange: "Why did he do this?"
Friends in the live broadcast room raised the same doubts.
[Yes, why? ]
[That doesn't make sense. What good is this? ]
[Making news? Attracting trolls?]
The Arapaima sank into the water, making gurgling sounds.
Bai Shao didn't hear the Arapaima's thoughts and didn't know how to answer Aunt Yu.
Uncle Yu on the shore shouted, "What did you say?"
Aunt Yu wrapped the fishing net around the stern of the boat, rowed to the shore, and looked at her husband with mixed feelings.
Uncle Yu took off the towel from his neck and wiped the water off Aunt Yu's hands with a smile.
"Tired or not? It's all my fault for being so useless. The burden of the family has to be carried on your shoulders. Let me kill this arapaima. Go back to the house and rest."
Aunt Yu did not leave. She looked at the back of the person next to her and spoke slowly as if she remembered something.
"I remember that before the fish jumped into the pond, you wanted me to sell this land to a developer. I asked you why, and you said that with the money I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"This piece of land is the only thing my parents left me. I can't bear to part with it. I like raising fish and it doesn't feel tiring. These days, because of the fish jumping into the pond, you brought up the idea of selling the land again, and this time I didn't refuse."
"Tell me the truth, did you get the fish on purpose to show me the loss so I would agree to sell the land?"
Uncle Yu's body stiffened. He exhaled half of his cigarette and crushed the butt with his rubber shoe, his tone unable to conceal his anger.
"Mother, are you completely exhausted? Would I deliberately mess with the fish and you just for a few bucks?"
"You're so worried about these fish that you couldn't sleep all night. I see it all. I'm a rough man, uneducated, and can't say nice things, but I feel sorry for you!"
"You don't mind that I'm disabled, or that I've been in jail. Even if I'm incompetent, I won't hold you back."
"How could I possibly cause you trouble and watch you get tired? Am I still a man then?!"
The truth was revealed to the viewers in the live broadcast room at a glance.
He was anxious, he was anxious.
【After Aunt Yu said this, everything became clear.】
[It must be for the demolition compensation! ]
The arapaima flicked its tail, dousing Uncle Yu in water. "Come on, who lost all your savings, saying that having fish will give you tons of money to pay off loan sharks? You're the bad guy!"
Bai Shao translated truthfully, and at the end, she said, "Aunt Yu, I suggest checking this gigolo's phone."
The buying and selling of arapaima is prohibited, so it is not surprising that Uncle Yu was able to borrow money from loan sharks at high interest rates and that there are some illegal trading channels.
Uncle Yu looked over and asked, "Who's talking? Okay, you're suspecting me of gambling because of an outsider!"
Of course Aunt Yu didn't want to doubt it, but the facts were right in front of her. Bai Shao had no reason to lie to her. Her husband often went out at night and always asked her for money. She couldn't make excuses for her husband.
Aunt Yu held the only silver bracelet her husband had given her in many years, her tone filled with indescribable sadness.
"You accidentally killed someone and went to jail for twenty years because you were helping me deal with those bastards who bullied me. That's when you injured your leg. My parents wouldn't let me wait for you, but I couldn't. Ten years ago, as soon as you got out of jail, we got married. For that, I cut off all ties with my parents until they died."
"After you were released from prison, I was afraid you'd lose touch with society, so I took you with me wherever I went. I always taught my daughter to be considerate of your feelings and not to feel inferior for having parents like us. But I never thought you'd become addicted to gambling."
"You know I care about this land very much. My family's income depends on the fish pond. If I wasn't worried about losing a lot of money, how could I agree to the demolition?"
"Before making the decision, have you ever thought about me and our daughter?"
The live broadcast room resonated with the audience.
【Gamblers will not have a good life! 】
[I swear, I will never reconcile myself to gambling and drugs.]
[Huang, you didn't mention a word? ]
Uncle Yu looked impatient when he heard this. He looked up at the gray sky and suddenly didn't want to act anymore.
"You said you didn't want me to be out of touch with society, but you just want to use my disability to make you stand out."
Aunt Yu's mind went blank for a moment, and she murmured, "You actually think of me like this?"
Uncle Yu couldn't help but ask back, spitting and pouring out the bitterness he had accumulated over the years.
"Isn't it?"
"Don't say you'll wait until I get out of prison. The truth is, no man wants you."
"Look at you, you're always showing off outside, but you only gave birth to a daughter for me at such an old age. If I don't find a way, won't my Yu family be extinct? Only when I have money can I find a woman!"
"I married you to make a living. You spend all day raising or selling fish, and you even left our daughter to me to raise. I'm not a housewife. Besides, what can you do with the little money you give me? After a few poker sessions, it's gone!"
Her husband's words hit her heart like a heavy hammer, and Aunt Yu looked at the person beside her in disappointment.
Then, he swung a round slap in the face.
The thin Uncle Yu collapsed to the ground, his clean clothes stained with mud and water, and the puddles reflected his old face. He realized that no one would want him except his wife without money. He suddenly came to his senses and regretted speaking his mind.
It doesn't mean that your uncle is trying to keep you.
Aunt Yu grabbed Uncle Yu by the collar and slapped him more than a dozen times until he fell to the ground with a bruised face and unconsciousness.
The viewers in the live broadcast room felt relieved.
[I usually don't recommend domestic violence, but today, I just want to say it's a good idea!]
【Support Aunt Yu! 】
Aunt Yu got carried away. She should have dealt with it privately. Forget it, let's just pretend we didn't see it.
【Didn’t see +1! 】
Bai Shao couldn't help laughing. When Aunt Yu found the illegal way to buy arapaima on Uncle Yu's phone, she said, "I suggest calling the police and sending him to jail for the rest of his life."
Aunt Yu nodded, took off her silver bracelet and threw it at Uncle Yu: "I will. Thank you, little girl. I don't have much money, so you must accept this little reward."
Looking at the screen full of rewards.
Bai Shao shook her head. Of course she couldn't accept it. She didn't know how much money Uncle Yu had gambled away or how much debt he owed, but she knew that Aunt Yu needed the money more than she did.
Unexpectedly.
Aunt Yu waved her hand generously: "I can earn tens of thousands a month, don't be so formal with me."
Bai Shao: "..."
Aunt, can I quit my job and work with you?
Friends in the live broadcast room expressed their envy.
[I, who works from 8am to 5pm and earns 3,000 yuan a month, laughed.]
[I'm not jealous of my aunt's wealth.]
[Earning so much money with your own ability, no man would not envy you.]
[Women are also envious.]
