Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea
Chapter 38 The Shen Family's Plot
Jiang Chunlan's hands were shaking as she held the money. "It's so much money, Awan, did you count it correctly?"
She knew her son's luck. He never caught anything every time he went out to sea. He only managed to avoid starvation by following Old Man Fu. Now he made a hundred dollars just by following Fu Wan. This was too scary.
Fu Liang scratched his head. "I guess I calculated correctly. She gave me more than 130 yuan. I didn't dare to take more, so I only took 100 yuan!"
Jiang Chunlan was going to look for a broom again this time, "Why don't you just take the thirty? There's also a hundred!"
Fu Liang was hit by the broom, but he didn't get angry. He took out the pearl from his pocket with a smile.
"Mom, look at what this is!"
Jiang Chunlan was counting the money in her hand at this moment, thinking that she would return the fifty yuan at daybreak. Taking fifty yuan was already a great bargain.
She glanced casually and her eyes widened in shock at the small pearl in Fu Liang's hand.
"This is, this is a pearl?!"
Now the money was no longer of interest to her. She picked up the pearl and looked at it carefully. Even though she didn't understand this, she knew that what she had in her hand was really rare.
"Where did this come from?"
Fu Liang then told the story of how he followed Fu Wan out to the sea, pried up a lot of oysters and opened the oyster shells.
Jiang Chunlan was stunned when she heard this. She had lived by the sea for so long, but she had never seen anyone with such good luck.
"Aliang, you have to work hard with Awan. We are not greedy for cheap things. We are down-to-earth. Mother only hopes that you will be safe and sound, and then get married and have children."
Fu Liang nodded. "I know that. Awan is indeed lucky. But mother, don't go out and say anything."
Being too lucky will always bring criticism. Sometimes people are like this. They feel good when they see others are doing worse than you, but if you are doing too well, they will feel uncomfortable.
Although the villagers of Fujia Village are simple and honest, they are also afraid of jealous people.
Jiang Chunlan understood this very well. Her husband died early, and being a widow was always a cause for controversy. She had long stopped interacting with the villagers and had devoted herself to taking care of her son.
But sometimes, it doesn't mean that others won't provoke you just because you don't provoke others. There are many people in the village who bully her just because she is a widow.
They take a piece of your land today, and take a piece of your vegetables tomorrow. There are many such things.
If she hadn't become more and more aggressive, and if Fu Wan's family hadn't been relying on relatives to take care of him, Fu Liang would not have been able to grow up safely.
"Aliang, you have to be grateful. Your cousin's family has helped us a lot, so you have to protect them outside. We earn our money with a clear conscience, so don't let the money narrow your horizons."
Fu Liang nodded repeatedly. Seeing that her son was yawning due to sleepiness, Jiang Chunlan stopped talking and went back to her room with the money.
But after returning to the room, he took out the photos taken when he got married and wiped his tears, "Old Fu, we finally have something to look forward to in our lives."
……
The next morning, Ye Xiaocui asked Fu San to drag away all the sea cucumbers. Fu San weighed them and wow, there were a full 126 kilograms of sea cucumbers.
As for blue crabs, big and small, they weighed 83 kilograms.
"Sister-in-law, apart from anything else, I admire your family's luck!"
After saying that, he gave a thumbs-up in a very serious manner, which made Ye Xiaocui laugh.
Fu San had seen the large pots of oyster meat in the yard, so he asked directly this time.
"Sister-in-law, why are all the oysters peeled? Do they need to be dried?"
Even though oysters are cheap, they still cost money!
Ye Xiaocui shook her head. "Awan asked me to make some oyster sauce to cook with noodles and pancakes. I'll give you a jar when I make it."
Oyster sauce is a good thing, so Fu San didn't refuse it and nodded happily.
It was a while after Fu San left that Fu Wan finally woke up. Shen Lingling had gone out to play with the children early in the morning, while Fu Ming sat in the house weaving bamboo baskets.
"Awan, don't go out to sea these two days. I'm afraid there will be another heavy rainstorm."
Fu Wan glanced at the unusually hot weather and obediently agreed.
"If it doesn't rain tonight, I'll go catch some fish and take them home."
Yesterday, we went to the beach to pick up blue crabs, sea cucumbers and oysters. All the oysters were made into oil, and all the sea cucumbers and blue crabs were sold by Ye Xiaocui without leaving a single one.
There wasn't much food in stock at home. After her rebirth, Fu Wan had gotten used to having fish and vegetables for every meal, so she couldn't bear to go back to a life without meat.
Fu Ming could only remind them, "Don't go out if it rains or is windy."
Once the wind blows at sea, the seabed will be even more turbulent and dangerous.
But the Shen family was not living such a peaceful life at this time. Old Mrs. Shen was not in good spirits after she fell ill. She felt uncomfortable and lay in bed every day.
Xu Zhaolan could only do laundry and cook every day, and she never had a good mood.
"The second one's family! The second one's family!"
Xu Zhaolan's hands trembled as she picked the wild vegetables, and she said impatiently, "What are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Shen knew that she was impatient, but there was nothing she could do.
"Is Qiu Sheng back?"
Shen Qiu Sheng went to the town hospital to pick up Shen Guangzong, and by the way, he also called Shen Guoliang to borrow money.
"no!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a cart and Shen Guangzong's groaning were heard at the door.
"My son, how are you?"
When Xu Zhaolan saw that his body was as fat as their two sons, she went forward and hugged Shen Guangzong.
Shen Guangzong, who was stung by jellyfish and had wounds all over his body, was hugged by her like this, and the wounds on his body were pressed, and he howled like a pig being slaughtered.
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
Xu Zhaolan was so scared that she raised her hands and dared not move. Old Mrs. Shen also struggled to get up and walked to the door tremblingly.
Seeing her beloved grandson in this state, she burst into tears.
Of course, she also did not forget to ask Shen Qiu Sheng about going to the town to find someone for help.
"Second brother, what did your third brother say?"
Shen Qiusheng replied angrily: "What can I say? Third brother said that big brother can only pay compensation for this matter. He doesn't have much money on him, so he can only remit 100 to us."
"One hundred, how much did it cost to treat Guangzong today?"
Shen Qiusheng frowned, "The doctor said his whole body was swollen, and he spent a full thirty yuan on medicine and IV drips!"
That’s because he didn’t continue to be hospitalized. The number of hospitalizations would have been more than this.
"Then our family will only have 70 yuan left," Xu Zhaolan cried bitterly. If she spent another 50 yuan to compensate Shen Dongsheng, there would only be 20 yuan left.
Shen Qiusheng and Old Lady Shen also thought of this. After a moment's silence, Old Lady Shen said, "Don't worry about your eldest brother. If the police come to ask, just say that there is no money at home."
This means giving up on Shen Dongsheng. After all, if there is no compensation, he will have to stay in the police station for a few more days.
Shen Qiusheng said nothing, but he agreed in his heart. He had no choice. The family money had been used up by Shen Dongsheng in the divorce, and he couldn't spend it on him this time.
As for Shen Dongsheng, he told his third brother the whole story, and his third brother said he would handle it.
The tone of Shen Guoliang's voice when he spoke on the phone clearly showed that he was going to teach Fu Wan a lesson.
Thinking about the methods used by Shen Guoliang's unit, Shen Qiu Sheng couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. His good sister-in-law Fu Wan is going to suffer this time!
