Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

Li Mu returned to the place where the fish were kept, where the two people who had come earlier had already chosen their fish.

They actually took all eighty large fish, all neatly arranged.

The smaller ones weigh over three pounds, while the largest weighs at least ten pounds.

The two were generous and gave a full 150 yuan.

Li Mu and Tian Xiaohu were overjoyed and wanted to help deliver the fish back to their village.

To everyone's surprise, the two men arrived in a truck.

It turned out that the two were truck drivers. Their captain had been waiting for a big, chubby boy for three years, and a month ago, his wish finally came true.

However, he had been out driving and only returned the day before yesterday.

I'm planning to take advantage of the free time to hold a full-month celebration for my son.

The captain had decided on the thirty fish.

They thought the remaining fifty fish looked really good and planned to buy them and share them among themselves.

Li Mu and Tian Xiaohu helped load all the fish into their car. Before leaving, they said, "If you two brothers want to eat fish, just let me know anytime. I'll make sure to pick the best for you."

"Alright! Brother, see you when we get back."

Since Li Mu had spoken up, the other party accepted the favor.

After the two men opened the car, Li Mu turned around and went back to the river to start tidying up and discussing things with Tian Xiaohu.

"One hundred and fifty yuan, one hundred of which came from the fifty or sixty fish that the old man bought online."

"When we deliver the sled and equipment later, we'll bring it all to him."

"That was the right thing to do. Brother Mu, whatever you say goes." Tian Xiaohu had no objection to this at all.

If it weren't for the old man's net full of fish today, they probably wouldn't have been able to sell those dozen or so ten-pound fish.

Although Tian Xiaohu is simple-minded, he's not stupid.

Li Mu naturally knew that Tian Xiaohu, being honest and kind, wouldn't have any objections, but even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

No matter what it is, it must be explained face-to-face.

As they talked, they finished tidying up their hands.

Li Mu planned to take the remaining fish, each weighing over two pounds, home and share them with Tian Xiaohu, adding some meat to their household.

And those dark, rock-like old turtles are quite rare. If we have time, we can send them to the Lakeside Hotel; they might just be a stepping stone to getting a job there.

With that thought in mind, Li Mu and Tian Xiaohu pushed the sled ashore and headed towards the road leading to Xicun.

A car that was passing by them suddenly braked.

Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and gold-rimmed glasses got out of the car.

"Young man, do you sell here?"

The man smiled kindly, but his eyes were fixed on the large turtle placed on top of the sled.

Li Mu's eyes flickered, and he replied, "This thing is hard to catch. I originally planned to take it back to my family to have it bled to help them recover."

“However, if you want to buy it… you’ll need at least this much.” Li Mu gritted his teeth and casually extended his hand to slap the other side.

I thought they would try to negotiate the price, considering it's only 500 yuan these days!

An ordinary worker's annual salary wouldn't even reach that much.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't hesitate at all and immediately pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it directly to Li Mu.

"Five hundred in total, please count it!"

Although Li Mu had seen a lot in his life, he was still somewhat shocked by the humiliating arrogance.

To be able to casually pay 500 yuan, that shows you're rich.

Instead of taking the money, Li Mu quickly took a straw rope from the old man's sled, tied the old turtle up tightly, and handed it to the man.

Seeing that the man took the turtle away, he then reached out and took the money.

"Exactly five hundred. I'll also give you two large fish, the freshest ones I kept myself." Li Mu put the counted money into his pocket, then turned around and handed the other person the two largest fish.

The man took the two fish and then asked, "Besides fishing, do you hunt? Do you catch wild rabbits, roe deer, or anything like that?"

"There are wild rabbits, but hunting roe deer depends on luck," Li Mu replied frankly.

Although I don't know who this person is, judging from his clothes and the two cars, he must be someone important.

However, the more someone is like this, the less you should try to please them.

"Alright! If you manage to hit it again, send it to the Xiao family in the south of the city." The man replied with a smile, and before Li Mu could reply, he had already turned around and gotten into the car.

As Li Mu watched the car drive away, he remembered the Xiao family. Wasn't that the Yue family of Mohe?

What incredible luck Li Mu had today?

First, he encountered the biological father of Brother Gao, who had helped him in his previous life, then he met people from the freight team, and now even the Yue family, the big boss, had come to his side.

Li Mu was thinking this, completely unaware of Tian Xiaohu, who was already dumbfounded.

It wasn't until he was about to leave with the sled that Tian Xiaohu stammered, "Brother Mu, we really, really sold it for five hundred yuan."

"Of course it's true! After we deliver the goods, we'll go to the county to open an account and deposit the money. With this money, your family won't have to worry about the cost of raising pigs."

Li Mu spoke with a smile.

He hadn't mentioned it before, afraid that it would upset Tian Xiaohu.

But now that they have money, this is no longer a big deal.

Two pigs, at most a loss of thirty or fifty yuan.

The old turtle sold for five hundred, and he insisted on giving half to Tian Xiaohu.

After all, this is different from hunting. Hunting relies entirely on his skill in setting traps. Fishing, on the other hand, is all about physical strength, and without Tian Xiaohu, he couldn't do anything by himself.

Tian Xiaohu really didn't expect that Li Mu would still care about the money his family lost for raising pigs. When Li Mu said that, his eyes instantly turned red.

"Brother Mu, you're so kind. From now on, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

"Alright! Gentlemen, stop this nonsense. Hurry up and push the sled. I wonder how the old man's wife is doing. Maybe she urgently needs money."

As Li Mu spoke, he quickened his pace.

Soon, Li Mu and Tian Xiaohu arrived at Grandpa Gao's house. In his previous life, Li Mu had been here with Gao Ga Zi.

But by then, Grandpa Gao, Grandma Gao, and Gao Ga Zi's little nephew, who was not even ten years old, had been dead for almost twenty years.

Although it wasn't completely rotten and collapsed, it was in a terrible state.

If it weren't for the road construction in the village that happened to pass by the Gao family's graves, Brother Gao probably would never have returned to this village in his entire life.

Thinking this, Li Mu raised his hand to push open the village gate in front of him.

Just then, a plump middle-aged woman came running out of the house, cursing.

"Pah! Those two old geezers are practically in their coffins, and they still want to go to the hospital and spend that wretched money."

"I think the real reason for asking us for money to see a doctor is to trick us into giving you money to raise that little bastard."

……

The middle-aged woman's insults became increasingly vulgar.

Before long, Gao Ga Zi's father rushed out of the house and lashed out with his whip, striking the middle-aged, plump woman squarely.

In an instant, the cotton wadding from the plump woman's floral cotton-padded jacket fluttered in the air.

She also let out a scream like a chicken being killed: "Ah... Murder! Murder is happening!"

Seeing this, Li Mu immediately pushed open the village gate and hurried to Old Master Gao, who was raising his whip again: "Grandpa, what are you doing? No matter how angry you are, you can't stoop to the level of an animal."

"It's just money, right? She doesn't have any, but we do!"
