Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Thinking of this, Grandma Xu didn't dare to stay any longer and pulled Madam Wu away.

When Mrs. Wu saw that she had spent money to take the boat here but didn't get to bring the child back, she was very unhappy.

She had been married for six years but still couldn't get pregnant.

Recently, her husband became less and less willing to come home. She found out about the situation in the pub and heard him talking to his friends about his troubles from a distance.

Not being able to conceive a child was a pain in her heart, and her husband originally said he didn't care.

But after her father passed away last year, the tavern business was handed over to her husband. Since then, her husband has become rude and often loses his temper.

She heard that her husband had accepted his friend's suggestion and was preparing to take a concubine.

She was anxious and thought that since she couldn't get pregnant, she might as well adopt a child and raise it, saying that it would help her to have a child.

Who knows, after raising a child for two years, your own child may be born.

"You can't just go back on your word. Your mother already promised me that if she hadn't come after the deadline, I wouldn't have gone to the island. Do you think the boat ride is free?"

Mrs. Wu didn't like raising other people's children, but if she wanted to have a child, she had to take one back with her.

"Who told you to go find whoever you want? What does it have to do with me? Anyway, my brother won't sell it."

Even if Xu Yiyi didn't want to use violence, he had no choice. Once he picked up the harpoon, his momentum was no different from that of a gangster.

Madam Wu left reluctantly.

"Whether our family lives or dies has nothing to do with you. I am the head of this family. From now on, I will be the sole caregiver for my younger brothers and sisters, so don't worry about our children."

Xu Yiyi once again distanced herself from Grandma Xu, waved her harpoon perfunctorily, and squeezed out a sentence: "Goodbye, I won't see you off!"

There was no enthusiasm in his tone.

Xu Er'er looked at her elder sister with eyes full of admiration, she looked so majestic.

Grandma Xu was so angry that she went home and started smashing things. Grandpa Xu was woken up from his nap by the noise.

"Are you out of your mind?"

After hearing this rather speechless sentence, Grandma Xu stopped what she was doing.

"I was kind enough to help them find a buyer. Madam Wu gave her a lot of money. The younger one was a burden anyway, so selling her would be a good way to make some money. But Xu Yiyi didn't appreciate it."

Grandma Xu had a sullen face, as dark as Bao Gong.

As soon as Grandpa Xu heard this, he knew she was looking for trouble.

"You usually don't care about anything, but now my uncle knows that you sold your grandson for a little money. I'm going to make sure you're in big trouble."

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu had a total of seven children. Xu Yinli was the middle one. He had a low presence in the family, and Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu didn't care much about this child.

After he got married, he didn't pay much attention to his children, and usually just gave them a greeting during the holidays.

It is never their turn to take care of anything, and the people in the clan are the first to rush forward.

As time went by, I became even less concerned.

In today's matter, Grandma Xu was after money.

Grandpa Xu said a few words to her, and Grandma Xu slumped down in the chair.

He kept mumbling something, his tone full of complaints and dissatisfaction.

At this time, my uncle came back from the provincial capital. Xu Yinli provided fifty taels of silver as compensation for the provincial soldiers, and increased the amount of sixteen taels of silver for their meritorious service. In addition, the families of the fallen soldiers could receive half of the military pay and five dou of rice every month.

After hearing the news of Xu Yinli's death, my great uncle forced himself to deal with these matters.

Also brought back with my great uncle was Xu Yinli's coffin.

Xu Yiyi brought Er'er, Sanchuan, Sihai, and held Wuyuan in her arms, kneeling in front of Xu Yinli's grave.

"Yinli, you can go with peace of mind. As long as I am still alive, your child will never be bullied."

Xu Yiyi's mind drifted away as she hugged Wu Yuan. When she came to her senses, her face was wet and her eyes were a little sore. It must be the original owner's emotions at work.

Several children kneeling nearby were crying at the top of their lungs.

After returning from the ancestral tomb, the uncle gave Xu Yiyi sixteen taels of silver, and he kept the remaining fifty taels of silver.

After all, it’s not certain whether he can protect a group of half-grown children with 16 taels of silver.

"From now on, you can receive five taels of silver and five dou of rice every fifth day of the month. You should learn to be frugal when living with your sister and brother. Later, you can switch the rice to brown rice. You can go fishing every day and have enough to eat."

My great uncle had said something similar before, but he said it to Zhan Jilan.

People definitely don't want to listen. They eat and drink well every day, wear gold and silver, but when they hear their uncle's words, they still scold him for meddling in other people's business.

After leaving Xu's house, the uncle took a few young men from the clan to go find the Ma family, who had bought Xu's house before.

When people came out of the Ma family, the people inside were ashamed of what they had said.

When Grandpa Xu heard that his uncle had returned, he didn't even go to his son's burial and went into hiding.

When my uncle and his entourage arrived at Xu's house, only Grandma Xu was in the house.

"If you don't like being Wu Yuan's grandmother, I can always find someone else for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Grandma Xu turned pale. She never expected that Uncle would say such a thing.

If I change the grandmother, wouldn't that mean I'm divorcing her?

She is already old and her family is no longer around. If she is divorced, she will have nowhere to go.

There was no other way, so she had to apologize to the uncle respectfully and gave him repeated assurances before he was willing to give up.

Although my great uncle has been away from home for more than ten days, he is still as well-informed as ever.

As soon as he came back, he dealt with two families. When the news spread, the villagers dared not bully the Xu siblings anymore.

We had dinner early because today was a high tide day, the wind and waves were bigger than usual, and there were relatively more people left on the beach after the tide receded.

Taking advantage of the night, Xu Yiyi handed the well-fed Wu Yuan to Sister Cuihua to help look after, and took the children at home to go fishing in the sea with a backpack.

There were a lot of people on the beach, some of them even skipped dinner and were waiting.

After all, it is the fishing ban period, and men can’t get much good stuff by fishing in the river every day.

In the fishing village, everyone from children who can walk to the elderly in their eighties will go to the sea to supplement their family income.

Xu Er'er was feeling a little excited. If she could pick up a big bonanza, she would not have to worry about food and drink for at least a few months.

Under the moonlight, the beach sparkled with silver light.

It was obvious that Xu Yiyi lacked experience as she didn't bring a torch with her.

Fortunately, there were many people around, and with the dim light of torches, Xu Yiyi began to explore in the sand pit.

Behind him, Sanchuan and Sihai were running happily on the beach, along with other children from the village. Uncle Great-grandfather was watching them.

"Big sister, guess what I caught?"

Xu Er'er's cheerful voice came, holding up a four-pound grouper.

Then a swarm of people filled the space near the reef.

Xu Yiyi was inspired to fight. He searched and searched. Finally, his uncle couldn't bear it anymore and put the small fish and shrimps in the net bag into Xu Yiyi's backpack.

Before I could be happy, I found that my uncle also gave a bag to the child next to him.

So they treated her like a child.
