I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

In the Gu family yard

Bai Qingyao spread a few broad leaves on the ground, and then poured out the fishing net directly from the backpack. As soon as it was poured on the ground, the fish inside jumped around, and the remaining sea water and mucus on the fish's bodies spread everywhere.

Bai Qingyao didn't show any disgust at all. She rolled up her sleeves, found a small stool to sit on, and began to prepare to take out all the goods inside.

The fishing net produced by the system is different from the fishing nets she has seen before.

The fishing net in front of her was very smooth. She just shook it slightly, and a lot of seafood fell off the net.

This fishing net can catch the goods while preventing them from escaping easily.

Moreover, taking the goods down was also extremely smooth.

Seeing Bai Qingyao busy, Gu Zexuan picked up a small broom and started cleaning the yard.

‘Squeak~’

There was a sound coming from the door, and Gu Zexuan subconsciously looked up while holding the broom.

Then I saw Aunt Jiang walking in from outside holding a bowl.

Bai Qingyao also heard the noise here and looked over, but her hands were sticky because she had handled the goods in the fishing net, so she had to wipe them off with the patched apron in front of her.

"Auntie Jiang."

Aunt Jiang glanced across the yard and was stunned when she saw the fishing net in front of Bai Qingyao.

Especially when he saw the fish and shrimp in the wooden basin, his eyes were filled with shock.

She knew that Bai Qingyao had been going to the beach recently, but she didn't expect that Bai Qingyao could catch so many things besides oysters.

And those fish can only be obtained by fishing, right?

Her fishing net...

He casually placed the bowl in his hand on the worn wooden table in the yard, "Da Hu went to the mountains today and caught a pheasant and some meat. I brought it to feed the three little ones."

There is a mountain behind Dayuan Village, but there is another mountain adjacent to the sea.

Standing on a high place, you can see many bulges on the endless sea. They are deserted islands.

However, the fishermen here did not dare to go to the island easily. After all, they did not know whether there were any wild animals on those islands. If there were, their lives would not be guaranteed.

Most people gave up the idea of ​​going to the island.

There were one or two fishermen who risked their lives to enter the island, but they didn't find much prey.

As time went by, no one entered those islands anymore.

Bai Qingyao took out a stool from behind her and placed it in front of Aunt Jiang.

"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."

After Aunt Jiang sat down, she pondered for a moment before looking up at Bai Qingyao and speaking.

"About the oysters, actually, you..."

"Aunt Jiang, I know what you are going to say."

Bai Qingyao smiled. Although she had not been here for long, during this time, Bai Qingyao had gotten to know Aunt Jiang a little better.

"Before, I lived in a daze and relied a lot on the villagers for support. Now I have the opportunity to give back to my fellow villagers, and I feel more at ease."

"What's more, I couldn't afford the daily oyster needs of Wangyueju by myself. I just said a few more words in front of Manager Xu."

Aunt Jiang disagreed, "Taohua Town is surrounded by the sea, so there's no place like this. Wangyueju is so famous, how could we not find people to pry open the oysters?"

After all, it was Bai Qingyao who helped the people in the village.

"Aunt Jiang, you really think highly of me. Although I want to repay the people in the village, the premise is that it will not affect my interests."

If she had no personal interests, she would not do these thankless tasks.

After selling the recipe and making a small fortune, I naturally had to take care of the follow-up matters.

After listening to her say so much, Aunt Jiang finally stopped talking and didn't say anything else.

"By the way, Aunt Jiang, do you know anyone in the village who has good craftsmanship? I want to build a house."

"Build a house?"

Aunt Jiang was shocked when she heard Bai Qingyao's words.

Building a house is no small matter, Bai Qingyao said it so lightly...

"The work of moving bricks and building houses in the village is all undertaken by the old man Gutou's family at the village head. However, few people have built new houses in the village in recent years, and the old man Gutou has not helped anyone build houses for a long time."

Aunt Jiang explained it briefly, and Bai Qingyao had a general understanding of it.

"By the way, if you were to build a house, would it be here?"

Aunt Jiang looked at her thatched hut. If they built it here, they would have nowhere to go for the time being.

After all, if they built a house, they would have nowhere else to live.

Bai Qingyao shook her head.

This place does not belong to her. Moreover, even if she builds a house, she still hopes it can be closer to the beach, so that it will be more convenient to go to the beach.

Aunt Jiang frowned. "You want to buy land and build a house?"

Bai Qingyao saw Aunt Jiang's expression and was a little puzzled. "Is there something wrong?"

"There's no problem, except that the only land suitable for building a house is at the foot of the mountain over there, near the coast."

"That location isn't very good."

Speaking of which, those plots of land over there have been empty for a long time and no one has bought them.

Bai Qingyao nodded thoughtfully, but a shrewd look flashed in her eyes.

What Aunt Jiang said, isn’t this exactly what she wants?

"I understand, Aunt Jiang."

After all, the other party meant well, and she would not be ungrateful.

Aunt Jiang didn't know how much she had heard, but she had said everything she needed to say. In the end, what choice Bai Qingyao would make depended on herself.

She sighed, "I've said everything I need to say. I'm going back first. As for buying land and building a house, you just need to think it through."

The Gu family's house is quite old. Although it was renovated when Gu Yichen was at home, several years have passed. Although it is still habitable, it is extremely dangerous.

In Bai Qingyao's eyes, this is now a dangerous building.

"I understand, Aunt Jiang."

Bai Qingyao lowered her eyes.

She now has less than three hundred taels of silver in her hand.

If we rent the land at the foot of the mountain and add construction, it will definitely not be enough.

She did some calculations in her mind and decided that there was no rush for this matter. She needed to think carefully and make a decision after investigation.

After Aunt Jiang left the Gu family, Bai Qingyao quickened her movements and took out everything in the fishing net. Together, it filled a large bucket.

There are quite a few fish alone.

They definitely won't be able to finish it today. When they go to the Jiang family to return the bowls, Bai Qingyao will give them one. The rest, which they can't finish, will be made into smoked fish and stored away.

When she had some free time, Bai Qingyao washed her hands and thought about the reward after completing the task.

I don’t know what will come out yet.

A string of ellipsis appeared above Bai Qingyao's head.
