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

Chapter 45 Participating in the Competition

The pearl diving competition is held every year. Pearl Girl has participated in it three times and won second place every time. Today is her last time.

The wedding date is at the end of next year. After the wedding, she needs to recuperate and give birth to a son or daughter for the Tan family. Only then will her position in the Tan family be stabilized.

She had not originally planned to participate this year, but her family was still not as well-off as the Tan family.

In order to avoid being looked down upon as soon as she entered the competition, she urgently needed to participate in this competition and win first place.

In that way, she would be commended for her merits and receive rewards from the court.

This is a great honor for her.

It was also the confidence she gained after marrying into the Tan family.

For this reason, she specially visited Zhu Nu, who had won a place in a major competition before the competition, and her training this year was much harder than before.

You can tell just by looking at her hair, which is even coarser than before.

She is determined to win the first place in this competition.

Xu Yiyi and her siblings arrived at the right time, and the competition officially started the next day.

This is an annual grand event. Before dawn, Lin Ke asked someone to wait at the inn. If they wanted to watch it, they could follow that person.

The seaside was bustling with people. In addition to the local pearl divers in the city, there were also pearl divers from different places who were ready to show their skills.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sea was sparkling, as if it had cast a layer of brilliant light on this grand occasion.

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and Xu Yiyi turned around to look.

I found a group of people walking through the crowd and coming to the shore.

Isn’t the one leading the group the lady from the Li family’s second wife whom I met in the clothing shop yesterday?

It’s really a narrow road between enemies!

Registration for the competition is on-site. In addition to professionals, some people come for the reward.

The first place winner of the competition will be appointed as an official, who will be mainly responsible for managing pearl diving affairs.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a steady stream of people coming to participate every year.

"Come on, second sister!"

The young lady from the Li family was happily jumping around beside a woman. When she turned around, she saw Xu Yiyi and her siblings, and immediately showed an expression of disgust.

The next moment, he said something to the woman and walked straight towards them.

"You don't look good in this dress. You're just like that clown who stole someone else's clothes. No matter how fancy you dress, it can't hide your ugliness."

Er'er looked at her, then at her elder sister, and not knowing where she got the courage from, she stretched out her foot and kicked the person out.

Xu Yiyi was stunned for a moment. This is the sweet little cutie who has been transformed into a little Tyrant Dragon!

"You dare to hit me?"

The young lady from the Li family got up from the ground, pounced on Er'er and wrestled with him.

The people around were also attracted by the actions of the two young ladies and gathered around to watch the fun.

The attendant who followed Xu Yiyi and her siblings throughout the whole process separated the two of them immediately.

The woman from the Li family also pulled the young lady from the Li family and examined her from head to toe.

When the little girls fight, they pull each other's hair, even though the young lady from the Li family is only twice as old as Er Er.

But his fighting experience is not as good as Er'er's.

Between the two, Er Er is still slightly better.

The woman was about to make trouble when the attendant showed her badge.

The order he received was to protect the Xu siblings, so he didn't care about anyone's face at this moment.

Even if the women of the Li family brought up the name of Yu Guan, it didn't work.

"If you want to make a scene, go ahead and make a scene. Don't let it affect the competition."

An official came over and scolded them harshly, and the wife and daughter of the Li family felt very aggrieved.

"If your daughter hadn't spoken harshly to me, my sister would never have been so angry. I don't think you need to feel wronged. This is all your own fault."

The second wife of the Li family saw her mother and younger sister being bullied, so she told someone and came over to take a look.

I happened to hear what Xu Yiyi said.

"It's just because we didn't reach an agreement on the clothes yesterday. Do you have to be so petty?"

The second wife of the Li family was complained about by her younger sister when she returned home yesterday. When her mother learned that she had not bought the clothes that her younger sister wanted, she was so angry that her face turned red.

If it weren't for today's pearl diving competition, they might have fought like before.

Although I didn't get beaten, I was still scolded.

She still held a grudge against Xu Yiyi in her heart, and now she became even more upset when she saw her sister taking action.

"We were the ones who had picked out the clothes first, and you asked me to give them up right away, looking down on me. You kept saying, 'I can't afford it,' and 'I don't look good in it.' You were the ones who started the trouble first."

Er Er acted impulsively once, but did not regret it.

She was wearing the clothes she bought yesterday. The bright colors made the little girl look even more charming.

The young lady from the Li family couldn't help but come over after seeing this.

Er Er confided the truth, and the people around him whispered to each other.

The second wife of the Li family looked unhappy and was about to say something when Mrs. Tan sent someone over.

Her marriage with the Tan family has been decided, and now she needs to be extra careful with her words and actions.

What happened just now made Mrs. Tan unhappy.

She wanted to go with the servant to pay her respects to Madam Tan, but was directly rejected.

"My lady said, please do your best, Second Lady."

After saying this, the servant left without even looking back, without even paying any attention to her.

"Look at this, look at this, the Tan family is so arrogant. Even a servant dares to be so arrogant. It means they don't take you seriously at all. You must win first place and give them a slap in the face."

After hearing what A Niang said, the second wife of the Li family felt more and more aggrieved.

Looking at Xu Yiyi and the others in front of him, he could no longer hide the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Do you dare to compete with me?"

The second lady of the Li family stood directly in front of Xu Yiyi. Her arrogant look was disgusting, and her tone was full of arrogance and disdain for Xu Yiyi.

She has been a pearl girl for three years and is well prepared this time. As long as Xu Yiyi dares to participate in the competition, she will definitely win.

When Xu Yiyi heard her words, his eyes were filled with displeasure and a hint of annoyance.

"Why should I participate?"

She just came to join in the fun, and brought her child with her.

"You don't dare? Your legs will become weak before you even get in the water, right? Coward."

Xu Yiyi sneered. As expected, she could not remain calm when faced with such provocation.

"What are you gambling?"

"The goal of the competition is to see who can collect bigger and rounder beads within the specified time. Another goal is to win by quantity. How about we compete in this?"

Zhunu has this confidence. She has won second place for three consecutive years and did not participate in the first place this year.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely win.

"Since we're going to compete, there has to be a stake, right? Otherwise, it would be so boring."

The second lady of the Li family glanced at Er'er.

"Since this dispute is about clothes, if I win, your sister will have to take off the clothes and give them to my sister."

"What if you lose?"

Hearing Xu Yiyi's words, the second lady of the Li family smiled confidently, and the people around her laughed out loud at the same time.

"I won't lose."

"Don't be so absolute. If you lose, apologize to my sister. In front of everyone, apologize for what you and your sister said and did yesterday."

Zhu Nu didn't care and agreed directly.
