Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

At this time, Chen Lang came over and said with a smile: "Xiaohu, Chunhua, I'm fine."

"You came so early, you must not have had breakfast, Xiuzhi, hurry to the kitchen and steam the buns."

Li Xiaohu and Zhao Chunhua were stunned for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Li Xiaohu rubbed his eyes hard, trying to make sure that he had not recognized the wrong person.

Zhao Chunhua looked at Chen Lang carefully and saw that he had a rosy complexion and healthy limbs. He was completely different from the rumors that he was half dead.

"What's going on?" Zhao Chunhua was confused.

Li Xiuzhi said, "Let's talk about it after we get into the yard."

After entering the yard, Li Lanlan quickly ran to Guoguo. The two little people huddled together and whispered for a long time, then went hand in hand to feed the ducks.

Li Xiuzhi brought a stool for her brother to sit on, then said, "Chunhua and I will go to the kitchen to steam buns. Erlang, you can talk to Xiaohu."

After the two of them entered the kitchen, Li Xiaohu couldn't wait to ask, "Brother-in-law, what's going on?"

"Rumors spread to our village, saying that you were bitten by a poisonous snake and will not live long. The Chen family didn't want to spend money to save you, so they cut off their relationship with you."

Chen Lang said: "It's like this..."

Then he told the story again.

Li Xiaohu's forehead veins popped out when he heard this, and his fists clenched until they cracked. "The Chen family is such a jerk! It's not enough that they bullied my sister, they even gave up on their own son."

"A heart that is completely rotten."

Zhao Chunhua in the kitchen had the same reaction after listening to Li Xiuzhi's story, but her mouth was much more powerful than Li Xiaohu's. She cursed the Chen family in many ways.

Zhao Chunhua was tired of scolding, so she stopped to take a breath and continued, "Sis, this time we're done, don't go back.

"Brother-in-law is so capable, your life will get better sooner or later, and then the Chen family will regret it."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang and I both agree. No matter what means the Chen family uses in the future, we will never return to that home."

Soon, a basket of steamed buns was ready, and Li Xiuzhi invited everyone to eat.

As soon as he sat down at the table, Li Xiaohu slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to bring everything in."

After saying that, he hurried to the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the things he brought were still there.

"Sister, brother-in-law. This is for you: 20 kilograms of oil, 10 kilograms of rice, and 5 kilograms of flour."

Li Xiuzhi immediately got angry: "No, we can't have these things, take them back!"

Chen Lang also said: "Your sister is right, we really can't accept these things."

"Last time you took the money, I already felt guilty. If I take your rice, flour and oil again, how will your brother-in-law face you in the future?"

"Besides, you have a much greater burden on supporting your family than I do. The old and the young all depend on you. The money I earn from fishing and crabbing in a day is enough for our family to eat and wear."

Li Xiaohu said, "Brother-in-law, please don't be so polite to me. If you really feel guilty, you can pay me back when you make money in the future."

Zhao Chunhua glared at Li Xiaohu and said, "What are you talking about? You can't expect someone to return something you've given away."

Li Xiaohu, a seven-foot-tall man, immediately shrank his neck and lowered his voice when his wife glared at him: "I just said that, I don't really intend to ask my sister to return..."

Zhao Chunhua snorted and said, "Sister, this pile of stuff is so heavy. Xiaohu is exhausted just carrying it here. Carrying it back would be even more tiring. You guys should keep it for later use."

Li Xiuzhi wanted to say something, but Chen Lang winked at her and said, "Okay, since Chunhua said so, then you can stay."

Although Li Xiuzhi was puzzled, since her husband had said so, she could not refute him.

Zhao Chunhua was happy and said, "Brother-in-law is sensible."

"Eat, eat."

During the meal, Chen Lang took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to get some food and said to Li Xiuzhi, "Tell Guoguo to give Lanlan a small gift later. Tell her to open it after she gets home. There's a banknote inside."

Li Xiuzhi finally understood why Chen Lang accepted these things and nodded, "Okay, I'll prepare them after dinner."

After breakfast, Zhao Chunhua and Li Xiaohu prepared to leave.

One was anxious to go back to take care of the second child, while the other was preparing to go to the county town to work.

Chen Lang said, "Xiao Hu, wait a minute, I have something else I want to consult you about."

Li Xiaohu said, "Brother-in-law, what else is there?"

"About building a house." Chen Lang said, glancing at Li Xiuzhi.

Li Xiuzhi understood and said, "Chunhua, go sit in the inner room and rest for a while. Let their uncle and I chat. It won't take too long."

Chen Lang said, "Xiao Hu, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you have any reliable house builders?"

Li Xiaohu pondered and said, "I do know quite a few craftsmen, but brother-in-law, building a house is a very expensive thing."

"Besides, you didn't have a piece of residential land under your name after you separated from the Chen family. You have to buy it now, which is another expense."

"Totaling all the money, it would cost at least thirty or fifty taels."

Chen Lang said, "Don't worry about the money. I have ways to earn it. The most important thing is that the people must be reliable, because they are going to build a house that truly belongs to your sister and me, and there can be no room for carelessness."

Li Xiaohu was a little surprised. How could the spending of dozens of taels of silver be spoken so casually by Chen Lang as if it were just a few dozen coins?

Li Xiaohu thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Brother-in-law, you don't want to go gambling, do you?"

Seeing that he had lost his mind, Chen Lang hurriedly explained, "Xiao Hu, it's not what you think."

Li Xiaohu frowned and asked, "Then how are you going to make this money?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "You forgot, I once told you that I invented a fishing tool. Using it to catch fish is several times more efficient than ordinary fishing methods."

Although Li Xiaohu still had some doubts, seeing that Chen Lang spoke sincerely, he did not ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'll go to the county town and ask for you later."

Chen Lang said, "Xiao Hu, when you ask, ask one more question. What's the price for the all-inclusive package?"

"I can let them handle wood and stone materials. As long as they don't sell me inferior goods, I can accept a higher price."

Li Xiaohu nodded: "I'll make a note of it."

"Anything else?"

Chen Lang shook his head.

"Chunhua, let's go." Li Xiaohu stood up and shouted towards the house.

Zhao Chunhua took Li Lanlan out of the house and said goodbye to Chen Lang's family.

After they walked away, Chen Lang asked, "Guoguo, have you given the gift to Lanlan?"

Guoguo nodded: "Yes, I gave it to her. I specifically told her not to open it until she gets home."

"Good boy." Chen Lang pinched Guoguo's cheek, then asked Li Xiuzhi, "Have you chosen the location for the homestead?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "There are three suitable places. Let me tell you."

Chen Lang said, "Let's go and take a look."
