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

The waves were getting stronger and stronger. In the dark night, Fu Wan clearly saw a woman floating up and down in the sea with the waves.

Even if the people around can swim, they dare not go forward rashly, because they can't see clearly and the waves are too big, so no one wants to take the risk easily.

Fu Wan put the bucket on the ground and said, "Mom, I have to go save that person."

Others were afraid to go down because the waves might hit their faces, causing the rescuers to choke. But Fu Wan had no such concerns. She trotted a few steps, then swam like a nimble fish, following the waves towards the drowning person.

"Who jumped down?"

Someone shouted, "Are you trying to kill yourself? Don't look back, or you'll be killed if you can't save the person!"

"It's Wan, the girl from Xiao Cui's family!"

The woman who collapsed on the ground knelt down directly towards Ye Xiaocui, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Ye Xiaocui hurried forward to help her up, and when she got closer, she saw clearly that it was Widow Wang from the end of the village.

She sighed, "My daughter Wan is good at swimming. Let's see if we can save your daughter. If not, don't blame me!"

Widow Wang's face was covered with tears and snot. Upon hearing this, she was about to kowtow again. "I'll be satisfied if someone saves her. If Wan gets hurt, I'll give you my life as compensation, wuwuwuwu..."

Fu Wan had no idea what was happening on the beach. The waves were so big that she had to swim several times before she could barely touch the woman's arm.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was Fu Qing from Aunt Wang's family.

The sea water splashed so hard that Fu Qing couldn't open her eyes. She felt someone grabbing her arm. The human body temperature was completely different from that of fish.

She used all her strength to hug the person's waist, and Fu Wan also pulled the back of her clothes and swam towards the shore.

The waves were still hitting the shore back and forth. Fu Wan seized the moment when the wave was about to hit her, used the force of the wave, and was directly hit hard on the beach.

"Hiss..." It hurts so much!

Several aunties and grandmas waiting on the beach quickly picked up the tarpaulin nearby and wrapped up the two people. An older sister-in-law who knew first aid checked and found that both of them were fine.

Liu Sanniang, the wife of the village chief, then ordered several strong women to send the two men home, and then she shouted loudly to the people who were going to the beach to go home.

Ye Xiaocui followed behind, carrying her own things, and her quick steps also showed her anxiety.

"Auntie, I'll get the things for you. Go back and make some ginger soup for Awan to cool down."

When Ye Xiaocui saw that it was Fu Liang, she nodded in agreement, put down her things and started running home.

Fu Wan didn’t actually feel cold, she was just stunned by the wave just now.

When she came to her senses, several middle-aged women had already carried her up, one on each side. She was too embarrassed to say that she could walk, so she could only pretend to be stupid.

When I got home, there happened to be some hot water in the kettle that had just been boiled in the evening.

Ye Xiaocui quickly poured a bowl for each of the aunties, then cut some ginger and added boiling water to it and brought it to Fu Wan.

Fu Wan didn't want to drink the wine after smelling the spicy taste, but Ye Xiaocui was staring at her so she couldn't throw it away. She had no choice but to endure the taste and drink half a bowl. The ladies said goodbye and went back to their homes.

It was already two or three o'clock at this time. Fu Wan went back to her room and took a simple shower with the water boiled by Ye Xiaocui, then changed her clothes and went out.

After I went out, I found that Ye Xiaocui was still awake and was picking abalone with a flashlight.

"Mom, what else can I choose from this abalone?"

Fu Wan wiped her hair. Ye Xiaocui was too busy to even look up. "Big abalones are valuable, but small ones are worthless. I was thinking of keeping them for myself."

Fu Wan then remembered that the price of small abalone was only one cent more expensive than sardines, which was indeed not worth it.

She also dragged a small stool and started picking up things with Ye Xiaocui. Since they had already stayed up late tonight, they might as well finish dealing with the things before going to bed.

Otherwise, without ice, these abalone would die, which would be a waste of her efforts in picking them up for most of the night.

I don't know how long I cleaned up, but the rooster next door started crowing. Fu Wan stood up and stretched. The sky was already turning pale.

"Okay, I've picked out about two buckets, which probably weighs several dozen kilograms."

Ye Xiaocui also stood up, pounding her waist. "I'll send it to Fu San right away and tell him to sell it for a good price in the morning."

Fu Wan also came forward, asking Abalone to go with her. Ye Xiaocui picked up the shoulder pole beside her and said, "I'll carry it. You can clean up here and go to sleep!"

Seeing Ye Xiaocui hurriedly carrying the abalone out the door, Fu Wan also quickly cleaned up the small abalone on the ground, poured half a bucket of spare sea water in the yard to keep them, and then washed her hands and returned to the room.

I was so sleepy that I stayed up all night.

Ye Xiaocui carried the abalone and avoided other people's doors and reached Fu San's door. Fu San just got up and was about to brush his teeth and go to the dock to collect the fish. When he saw Ye Xiaocui's appearance, he knew that this aunt probably had not slept all night.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Next time, just tell me and I'll go to your house in the morning to pick it out myself, so you don't have to come here to trouble me!"

Ye Xiaocui smiled and said, "Last night, Awan and I went to the beach and picked up some abalone. I think they're pretty big. Can you help me take them over and see how much money they can be exchanged for?"

Fu San turned on the lights in the house and took a look at the abalone in the bucket. "Sister-in-law, where did you get these abalone? Why are they so big?"

How could it not be big? She picked out all the small ones. Each abalone in these two buckets weighs two or three taels, and the big ones are probably five or six taels.

"Sister-in-law, these two buckets of abalone will definitely fetch a good price!"

It has been a long time since I have seen such a large restaurant in Abalone Town. Fu San could imagine how happy the brothers who opened the restaurant were.

Ye Xiaocui nodded repeatedly and asked Fu San to weigh it. The bucket of two or three taels of abalone weighed 48 kilograms. Each abalone in the bucket weighed more than half a kilogram, so the total weight was 40 kilograms.

A total of 88 kilograms!

Fu San rubbed his hands together and wrote a note for Ye Xiaocui, detailing the weight. "Sister-in-law, I'm not sure how much this abalone will sell for, but I guarantee it'll be more expensive than regular abalone. Abalone prices have gone up recently, so I'll try to sell as much as I can. How do I settle the bill with you when I get back?"

How could Ye Xiaocui refuse? She still trusted Fu San's character.

Before leaving, she reminded him, "When you come back from town today, bring me 20 kilograms of white flour, and buy me some spare ribs and meat. I want to give them to A-Ming and A-Wan."

Fu San agreed readily, and then called his wife, who had just left the room, to help carry the abalone.

Lin Qiuju was also startled by the abalone with sleepy eyes. Looking at Ye Xiaocui's departing figure, she whispered, "Did Awan's mother send this?"

Fu San nodded and said, "Keep your voice down and move in quickly. With such a big abalone, we can make a lot of money today."

Lin Qiuju slapped him on the arm and said, "You should earn less. It's not easy for my sister-in-law and the others. Fu Ming's leg will take some time to heal. I'm afraid the mother and daughter must have stayed up all night to catch this abalone.

"In business, we should not be too deceptive."

Fu San nodded, "Of course I know, I'm still his relative, how could I cheat my own family!"
