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

"Hey, wife!"

Xu Zhaolan fell down unexpectedly, which scared Shen Qiu Sheng who was standing next to him.

He also loved his wife very much. When he saw Xu Zhaolan fall to the ground, he hurried over to help her up, and then slapped her hard on the face twice.

"Wife, wake up!"

The force was so strong that Xu Zhaolan's face immediately turned red, and the developed pain nerves immediately woke Xu Zhaolan up.

"Ghost... ghost!"

The first thing Xu Zhaolan did when she opened her eyes was to cover her face and point at the door. Shen Qiu Sheng looked confused. It was not that he was not afraid, but that he was a little nearsighted and could not see clearly at night.

"What ghosts are you talking about? It's late at night, don't talk nonsense!"

However, Shen Dongsheng reacted and discovered that the source of Xu Zhaolan's fear was that his mother's face was not covered.

Okay, then just cover it up and you’re done.

So he ran over quickly and pulled the tattered mat up.

This time I can't see it.

"Brother, have you eaten yet?"

After Shen Qiu Sheng recovered from the grief of his mother's death, he still felt his stomach growling.

He politely greeted Shen Dongsheng, thinking of using this as an excuse to sit down and have dinner.

"No, I walked all the way here from Fujia Village."

"That's great, let's sit down and eat together."

When it was time for dinner, Shen Qiu Sheng also kept his brothers out. However, when he saw only a bowl of stir-fried vegetables left on the table, he cast a questioning look at Xu Zhaolan.

What about meat?

Xu Zhaolan had a calm expression on her face, and then she sighed pretentiously and said to Shen Dongsheng, "Uncle, you know our family is in financial difficulty, so we only have these vegetables and bread. Please don't despise them."

How could Shen Dongsheng dare to dislike it? Although he was not so poor as to let the whole family eat only one bowl of vegetables when they had dinner at Qian Xiaohua's house, this was obviously not the time to be picky.

What's more, Xu Zhaolan's pancakes were also made with eggs and lard, so Shen Dongsheng immediately devoured them.

But in between eating the pancakes, he accidentally saw Shen Guangzong who was eating with a bowl next to him. There were actually a few pieces of braised pork in the boy's bowl!

Xu Zhaolan had been staring at Shen Dongsheng. When she saw him looking at her son's bowl, she immediately reacted.

"Oh, the meat this kid eats is sent by his grandmother. There are only a few pieces. Neither of us can bear to eat it."

Having said that, Shen Dongsheng didn't have the face to compete with a child for food.

But what made him feel uncomfortable was that he had treated Shen Guangzong better than his own daughter before, but from the moment he entered the door until now, Shen Guangzong had not even greeted him.

"Guangzong, don't you recognize your uncle?"

After all, he is the nephew whom he has high hopes for. Shen Dongsheng forced a smile on his face and asked Shen Guangzong.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Shen Guangzong immediately put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Uncle, aren't you married? Did you buy me some meat when you came back?"

"After Hu Zi's aunt next door got married, she also bought him meat when she came back!"

These words made Shen Dongsheng stunned. He didn't mind what Shen Guangzong said about getting married, but he suddenly remembered that he bought a piece of meat for one dollar from Fu Dazhuang today.

When he came out of Fujia Village, he did not forget to put the meat on the cart.

Where's the meat now?

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out quickly.

The remaining couple Xu Zhaolan and Shen Qiusheng looked at each other, until Shen Dongsheng came in from outside with a black object and a smile on his face.

"I bought this meat today and left it for Guangzong to eat!"

He swallowed hard after he finished speaking.

When Xu Zhaolan saw that he actually bought the meat, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hey, big brother, you're so polite. You even went out of your way to buy meat when you got home. You're the one who loves Guangzong the most... Hey, why is this meat so dirty? It's covered in mud!"

Just now, Xu Zhaolan thought she had seen the color wrong, but when she took the piece of meat and touched it, she found something wrong.

The meat no longer has its original color, it is all black and covered with dirt.

"Oh, I fell when I was coming back, and I might have fallen to the ground and got it dirty."

"What, dirty meat? I don't eat dirty meat! Uncle, give me money and buy another piece!"

Shen Guangzong immediately refused to do it and looked like he was going to throw a tantrum and lie on the ground. Shen Qiu Sheng, who was standing next to him, watched him without saying a word.

But Shen Dongsheng had no money, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't have any money. I came back specifically to bury my mother."

Seeing this, Xu Zhaolan's face was full of disbelief.

"Mom has saved a lot of money over the years. Big brother, you can't be so unkind as to swallow it all by yourself!"

Shen Dongsheng was completely speechless at this point. "I don't have any money, and neither does my mother. Qiusheng, take care of your wife. How can you say such nonsense?"

Shen Qiusheng stood up silently and asked, "Brother, did mother really not leave any savings for you?"

His face was full of disbelief, and this expression deeply hurt Shen Dongsheng's heart.

These are his family, these are his brothers!

Xu Zhaolan became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Originally, she entertained Shen Dongsheng just to see if she could get some money out of his pocket.

I didn't expect this guy's pockets were cleaner than his face.

What else is there to say? Xu Zhaolan retracted the smile on her face and said, "Brother, if mother didn't leave any savings, she would have gotten into trouble because of you.

We just went back to my mother's house, and when we got back, she disappeared. If we hadn't come back to take care of the house, I'm afraid no one in the house would have had a chance to rest.

Now this house is full of stuff, you guys should bury mom as soon as possible and then go your separate ways."

After saying that, she took the piece of meat and walked towards the kitchen without looking back.

Shen Qiusheng sighed awkwardly, "Brother, Zhao Lan isn't being harsh. It's just that we can't do anything about it. It's really hard to support a family."

"Mom left with you without saying a word. When we came back, there was no one in the room. Now you're back, but Mom is gone. I'm at a loss for words..."

What he said implied that Shen Dongsheng was not unrelated to the death of Old Lady Shen.

But this is indeed the fact, and Shen Dongsheng is powerless to refute it.

"Well, anyway, let's bury Mom first, right?"

The location for Old Mrs. Shen’s grave had actually been decided long ago, right next to their father’s.

But Shen Qiusheng was a little embarrassed, "Brother, I haven't been feeling well recently, so I can't go to those places at night. Why don't you go?"

Thinking about having to work in the cemetery at night, Shen Qiu Sheng felt a thousand objections in his heart.

Shen Dongsheng didn't say anything because his younger brother had been in poor health since childhood. He just finished the cake in his hand in a few bites, picked up the shovel and went out.

Seeing him leave, Xu Zhaolan quickly stepped forward and closed the door.

"That's it, let's not worry about this anymore!"

At this time, in Fujia Village not far away, the Fu family welcomed a guest.

"Xiaobai, why are you here so late?"

Bai Qianzhou smiled and handed the food in his hand to Ye Xiaocui, "Auntie, I came to see Awan for something."

Fu Wan felt a little surprised when she heard that they were looking for her.

"what's up?"

Bai Qianzhou looked mysterious, then took out a notebook from his backpack.

Fu Wan recognized it immediately. It was clearly the book she had given to Zhao Gang before.

"Why is this book here with you?"

"What a coincidence, when Uncle Zhao told you to find someone to translate, didn't he say that person was me?

I also know a little bit of the island nation’s language.”
