Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Ye Xiaocui gave her daughter a cold look and felt incredible looking at the two snakeskin bags of bird's nest.

"Oh my God, you guys have destroyed the swallows' nests!"

Fu Wan was amused by Ye Xiaocui's words, "Mom, you didn't see that place. It's several times the size of my house. How could we destroy their lair?"

Ye Xiaocui finally nodded in satisfaction, "We can't do such a wicked thing, especially since our family has been quite lucky recently. We can't let this bad luck go away."

Then he told Fu Wan, "Go to the Mazu Temple tomorrow to burn some incense and donate some money. Your safe return this time is all thanks to Mazu's blessing."

"This is what I want!"

Boss Fu just walked in and agreed as soon as he heard this.

"Mom and Dad, then it's just right for us to sort out some of this bird's nest and take it to town tomorrow to ask Uncle San for help."

This thing doesn't last long. If it gets damp and moldy when it rains, it would be a real waste.

"Mom, why don't you go call Aunt Jiang to help? With so many of us, maybe we can clean up the bird's nest tonight."

Fu Wan is not the type to procrastinate, and Ye Xiaocui agreed when she heard this.

"Okay, I'll go tell your Aunt Jiang right away."

Forget about others, Fu Liang has long been tied to his family, and so has his mother. They prosper and suffer together, and if they want to get rich, they will get rich together.

The fewer people who know about this, the better. It's not that I'm afraid of others getting rich, but I'm afraid that too many people will know about it, and then it will spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and then those swallows will be homeless.

This was settled. Fu Wan took her clothes and went to take a shower and wash her hair, while Ye Xiaocui took two small fish to Fu Liang's house.

"Ginger sister, ginger sister!"

Jiang Chunlan was mending clothes in her yard when she heard someone shouting and hurried to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

He said he wanted to see the fish Ye Xiaocui was carrying again, and quickly let her in with a smile.

"Is it Awan and Big Brother who are back? I told you they were fine. They must have found some good stuff!"

Ye Xiaocui smiled without saying anything. After she brought the fish into the kitchen and placed it in a basin, she pulled Aunt Jiang aside and whispered to her.

"What, bird's nest!"

Aunt Jiang cried out softly, then immediately covered her mouth.

This may be a tonic like bear paw. Even if the country people have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run. Those are things that wealthy families can eat.

Fu Wan is really amazing. They can encounter such a good thing.

"Come to my house with Aliang after dinner tonight. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Aunt Jiang gently hit Ye Xiaocui and said, "What are you talking about treating me unfairly? Big brother brought Aliang to fish and made so much money. I should thank you!"

Aunt Jiang is not a greedy person. She knows in her heart that if it weren't for Boss Fu taking Fu Liang fishing, the family would have been so poor that they couldn't even make ends meet.

It’s not like now where it’s either fish or meat.

What's more, the bird's nest was discovered by Awan and Boss Fu this time, so they didn't need to tell their own family. But now they are telling them, firstly, they need help, and secondly, they really want to help their own family.

Aunt Jiang accepted the favor and agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I'll come over after dinner."

"Don't tell anyone else about this, or you'll get into trouble."

Ye Xiaocui quickly warned, and Jiang Chunlan was no fool, so she quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I know all this, and no one else will know except me and Aliang."

Only then did Ye Xiaocui feel relieved and hurried home.

……

After dinner, Fu Lao Da and Fu Ming cleared the dishes, while Fu Wan and Ye Xiao Cui were busy wiping the table and taking out the bird's nests.

Picking out bird's nests is a delicate job. Fu Wan's family doesn't have many tweezers, so a few people can only simply pick out the swallow feathers on the bird's nests.

The bird's nests also need to be processed after being collected by others. When collecting the bird's nests today, Fu Wan and Boss Fu were busy shoveling the nests into snakeskin bags and did not pick them out.

So now you can see that the bird's nest has a lot of feathers and is dirty.

Fu Liang and Aunt Jiang arrived very quickly. Just as it got dark, the gate of Fu's house was knocked.

It takes more than ten minutes to clean a bird's nest, and that's before all the small feathers are picked out. After picking five or six, Fu Ming felt sore in his neck, arms, and even his butt hurt from sitting.

"This is much more tiring than fishing."

Fu Ming sighed, and Fu Wan didn't even raise her head. "What do you think? Choose carefully, and I'll give you some of my private money later."

Fu Ming got angry when talking about his private money. Fu Dalaizi was such a heartless guy that he stole the few cents he had put under the bamboo mat.

Although he complained, Fu Ming's hands did not stop moving at all.

Ye Xiaocui and Aunt Jiang could sit still even longer. They were both good at mending fishing nets, and they were also good at patching clothes at home. Threading a needle was no problem for them.

Picking out feathers from bird's nests is quick and accurate.

The group worked for several hours. Fortunately, with the help of Fu Liang and Aunt Jiang, they finally finished picking at around ten o'clock in the evening.

Aunt Jiang made an appointment with Ye Xiaocui to go to the Mazu Temple to burn incense tomorrow, and then she took Fu Liang home.

Just before going to bed, Fu Ming remembered that he had not given the note he registered with Fu San today to Boss Fu, so he quickly took it out.

Fu Wan picked it up and took a look. Hey, there were 365 kilograms of hairtail, 102.6 kilograms of manta ray, 58.8 kilograms of octopus, and some miscellaneous fish, totaling 62.7 kilograms.

In addition, in Boss Fu's trap were placed grouper weighing 11.8 jin, tiger grouper weighing 8.6 jin, and mouse grouper weighing 3.2 jin.

Fu Wan looked at the unit prices next to them. Hairtail was 65 cents per pound, manta ray was one dollar per pound, the price of octopus had dropped to one dollar and eighty cents per pound, tiger grouper was one dollar and fifty cents per pound, and rat grouper was still twenty-five dollars per pound.

The final total was 538.59. Fu San rounded off the number as usual and wrote down 540 yuan.

Five hundred and forty yuan, that’s not a small amount!

Fu Mingzao had already boasted to Fu Liang at Fu San's purchasing station, and now he started to talk nonsense again.

"Awan, I'm telling you, at this rate, having a tricycle at home is not a dream!"

Boss Fu slapped him on the back and said, "Go away, go away. I'm going to leave this money for you to build houses. When we save some more money, you can each build one!"

Boss Fu knew very well how valuable houses would be in the future. In addition to building houses for his children in Fujia Village, he also wanted to buy one for Fu Wan in the county, so that Fu Ling would not have to travel so far to attend high school in the county.

Fu Ling, who had not yet started primary school, was now sound asleep and had no idea that her grandfather was already planning the house for her to go to high school.

Fu Wan disagreed, "Dad, if we still have money, let's buy another boat!"

"With so many people at home, we can definitely split the business into two boats and make more money later!"
