After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Then he continued, "There aren't many people at noon. It won't take much effort, just the three of us."

Mrs. Qin was not a pretentious person, so she nodded and agreed to go. However, it was not her character to always take advantage of others, so she said, "Okay, then I will bring the shrimp, oysters and eels I bought to your house and cook them. If you don't agree, I won't go."

This character of not liking to take advantage of others is really good for her. Xiang Yi chuckled and nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Hu Shan, "Brother, do you have any dried goods for sale?"

"Some girls have them, but they're more expensive than fresh ones, about 60 cents a pound."

"Sure, how much do you have, brother?"

"It's about 100 pounds, sister, how much do you want?"

Xiangyi planned to buy some and send them back to Xiang's house: "I want all the ones you have."

"What?...Sister...sister...sister you...you...want...all?" Hu Shan couldn't believe his ears and was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.

Xiang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I want them all. I'll send them to my family."

Hu Shan was almost going crazy. It was the first time he met such a wealthy customer. Ever since he met Xiang Yi, his luck had changed.

I nodded quickly: "Okay, sister, I'll send it to the family compound for you later. Don't worry, it's absolutely clean and of good quality."

"Okay, big brother, my name is Xiangyi. May I know your last name?" We will probably deal with each other often in the future, and it's impossible for me to never know who the other person is.

"My name is Hu Shan, and I live in the fishing village over there." Hu Shan pointed in a direction.

Xiangyi looked in the direction of his finger and nodded: "Okay, Brother Hu, please send it over this afternoon."

Mrs. Qin was stunned. This girl bought things without blinking an eye. She bought dozens of seafood at once. My goodness, I have never seen anyone buy seafood like this.

However, after hearing Xiangyi say that kelp can cure goiter, she is also considering whether to send some seafood back?

I also bought four big squids from Hushan.

After paying and preparing to leave, Hu Shan grabbed eight swimming crabs from the stall and threw them into Xiangyi's bucket, saying with a simple smile, "Thank you, Xiang, for taking care of our family business. You can take this back and eat it."

Xiangyi didn't refuse and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Hu."

After saying goodbye to Hu Shan with Mrs. Qin, we returned to the family compound.

As soon as Xiangyi left, Hu Shan almost jumped for joy. He worked even harder to sell seafood, and his shouts sounded more confident than usual.

You know what, because he was so confident, people came to ask about the price. Although it was a little more expensive than other stores, his confident demeanor immediately convinced them. It did look better than other stores. As a result, today's business was surprisingly good and it was sold out in less than an hour.

Normally, it would take the whole morning to sell out all the goods, and then they had to be taken back to dry in the sun. Hu Shan's mouth was cracked to the back of his ears, and he hurriedly packed up and went home.

Hu Shan's family was relatively poor and could barely make ends meet. He could only rely on rowing his family's old boat to go out and catch fish. The boat had been patched up so badly that its original appearance was unrecognizable.

If he sold the dry goods this time, he could buy a better boat and wouldn't have to worry about it sinking into the sea at any moment. If he died, his widow and orphans would not survive either.

I pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door with excitement. It felt like this house could be blown down by a gust of wind. It was made entirely of thatch. Although it was dilapidated, it was very clean.

There were two boys about ten years old in the yard, who were carefully processing seafood. After washing them, they put them in a dustpan to dry.

The two children look almost like they were carved from the same mold. They are obviously twin brothers and are somewhat similar to Hu Shan.

When they saw the gate being pushed open, the two were a little wary at first, but they felt relieved when they found out it was their father. However, they were a little curious in their hearts. Why did he come back so early today? Usually he would come back at lunch time with the unsold seafood.

"Dad, you're back."

"dad!"

Seeing my father’s smiling face, I guessed that the big client had come again.

Hu Yunzhou asked, "Dad, are we sold out of seafood today?"

Hu Shan grinned: "Yes, they are sold out. Not only this one is sold out, but all our dry goods are wanted by people!!"

The two brothers were so excited to announce the good news that they completed everything from processing the seafood to drying it independently.

The older brother is Hu Yunzhou and the younger brother is Hu Yunze. Although they look similar, the older brother is slightly taller and has a black mole on his ear.

"Really?" Hu Yunze was also very excited. If it was sold, the two brothers would have a chance to go to school. They were already 11 years old and still had not started school. They could only be taught by their mother at home.

Hu Shan's wife is named Lin Huilan, she is 30 years old this year. She was also very outstanding in appearance when she was young. When she was years old, her stepmother sent her to the county to buy her egg cakes. If she refused to go, she would be beaten to death.

When Lin Huilan's mother was alive, although she did not dote on her daughter very much, she never lacked food and clothing, and the family also supported her to go to school for several years.

When she was sixteen, her mother died of illness. Two months later, her father remarried. Not only did he not allow her to continue her studies, but he also made her work every day, washing clothes and cooking at home. If she didn't do her job well, she would be beaten.

The father turned a blind eye, and the brothers dared not speak out. This stepmother was too shameless. Whenever anyone showed any intention of resisting, she would lie down at the door and cry, saying that the Lin family was inhuman and bullied her as a stepmother. The honest people in the Lin family were all exploited by her.

Lin Huilan was tortured by her stepmother for two years, and her originally delicate hands were now covered with calluses. If she wasn't pretty and she wanted to use her to make some betrothal money, her stepmother would probably have treated her even worse.

It was winter and she wanted to eat egg cake. Everyone else was at work, so she asked Lin Huilan to go to the county to buy some and asked her to walk there. It was freezing cold that day and her clothes were not warm enough, so she shivered every day. She only felt a little better when she was cooking.

She didn't want to go, fearing she'd die there. Seeing she wasn't going, her stepmother wouldn't agree. She started beating and scolding her, calling her useless, unfilial, and a money-loser.

In order to avoid being beaten, she had no choice but to take the money and go out in the cold wind. As a result, she was spotted by a beggar and sold to an island.

On the way to buy the goods, she ran away when no one was paying attention. She didn't dare to stop and kept running until she couldn't run anymore. When she finally stopped, she didn't know where she was. In front of her was a very dilapidated thatched hut.

The gate was opened at this time, and an older woman appeared. Although her clothes were worn out, they looked neat and clean, which was in stark contrast to her refugee outfit.

The auntie who opened the door was also startled to see someone standing at the door. When she saw that it was a strange girl, she asked curiously, "Girl, who are you from? Do you have something to do with me?"

Lin Huilan had just come out of the wolf's den, so she naturally didn't dare to respond casually. She was afraid that this family was not a good citizen. But she was really too hungry and too tired. What she had experienced in the past few days almost made her mentally collapse. She didn't eat one day and ran all the way.

She couldn't believe that anyone just wanted to leave here quickly, so she turned around to leave, but her eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground.

Lin Huilan was rescued by a kind aunt and stayed at her home. She was given food and clean clothes to change into.
