Naturally, Chu Xuan would not give her a chance.
He quickly caught the fish and put it into the newly purchased iron bucket.
Only then did he see that the person coming was Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua is usually very talkative, but she has never done anything to grab a fish.
What's going on today?
Aunt Hua saw that the fish had been caught by Chu Xuan and there was no need to rush to grab the fish. She stopped suddenly and sat down on the beach.
The beach was wet and it was inevitable that her pants would be stained, but Aunt Hua didn't care so much and discussed with her smiling face, "Xiaoxuan, I was reckless just now. My sister-in-law needs a mullet so much. She is forty. A 6-year-old woman who had a caesarean section just one week ago, and the wound is not growing very well..."
Mullet has muscle-building and blood-replenishing effects, and eating it is helpful for wound healing. Chu Xuan knew this.
Occasionally there are mullet sellers on the pier, so you have to try your luck.
In response to Aunt Hua's action of grabbing the fish just now, Chu Xuan didn't want to give it to her in vain.
He said deliberately, "Aunt Hua, I'm thinking whether to make mullet tofu soup tonight, braise it or stir-fry it. It's a rare opportunity for Xiao Feng and I to improve our food."
Aunt Hua said with heartache, "I have five or six kilograms of dried scallops left at home. How about trading them for your mullet?"
These words touched Chu Xuan's heart. He just ate mackerel cubes yesterday, and he really wanted to eat some dried scallops today.
When I think of scallop and cabbage dumpling soup and scallop steamed egg, I can't help but swallow my saliva.
It's mid-to-late June now, and it's hard to come across plump scallops when heading to sea.
Because the scallops here are at their most plump from November to April. Aunt Hua’s dried scallops were dried starting from the end of April, and they are all plump.
Before the family separation, Chu Xuan and Chu Feng had to secretly eat the dried scallops from the old Chu family. Thinking about it makes them cry bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Hua understood her quite well.
"Okay! After seven-thirty in the evening, bring five kilograms of dried scallops to my house to exchange for fish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an annoying voice sounded from behind Chu Xuan, "No! I've fallen in love with this mullet, Chu Xuan, you have to respect me! I'm your grandma!"
It was Feng Chunhua's voice.
Before Chu Xuan could say anything, Aunt Hua had already spoken, "You've broken off the relationship, and you still have the nerve to call yourself Xiao Xuan's grandma? You're so shameless! Xiao Xuan, you continue to catch the sea, and leave this old woman to me!"
Chu Xuan cast approving glances at Aunt Hua and was too lazy to pay attention to Feng Chunhua. She filled a tin bucket with some seawater and continued to look for seafood.
Feng Chunhua stretched out her hand to try to stop him, but was stopped by Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua and Feng Chunhua are both famous tigresses in the village. It's hard to say who has the upper hand today.
However, Chu Xuan had no time to watch the fight because she once again found a stranded mullet weighing seven or eight kilograms.
Some suspicion met the mullet couple.
Happily catching fish into the bucket.
Next, she only encountered some small fry, which she sent back to the sea. She also picked up more than twenty clams. The clams in this season were very fat and fresh.
Just when she was about to meet her younger brother, he came over carrying a barrel of seafood.
With a proud face, he said, "Sister, look! I have prepared a bucket of seafood. There are clams, conches, and swimming crabs. Although it is not the season for plump swimming crabs, it is good to taste them. You can also make some money by selling them. …”
Chu Xuan didn't expect his younger brother to be so capable, and asked with confusion on his face, "Did you really find this yourself?"
Chu Feng's eyes were evasive, "I also asked a few children to help. I paid them and promised them two mints each."
Chu Xuan was very familiar with Chu Feng's expression, because in his previous life, he would deceive his sister every time he looked away.
"Xiao Feng, tell me the truth! Otherwise, I will go to the reef and ask other people who are rushing to sea. They must know what is going on."
Only then did Chu Feng tell the truth, "I robbed Liu Zhaodi and San Leng of their overseas goods..."
At this point, he drooped his head and did not dare to continue.
Because he saw the anger in his sister's eyes, his first reaction was to run away, but his reason told him that staying and being beaten would be less severe than running home and being beaten.
Chu Xuan kicked him in the buttocks, "Why are you robbing the Liu family of their overseas goods? Don't you know how difficult it is for a sister to raise a younger brother? What's more, Liu Zhaodi has to raise two younger brothers by herself! Her mother is bedridden all year round and needs food. Yao, you piece of shit, I’ll kick you to death so that you don’t harm others!”
Kicked several times.
Thinking that Chu Feng spent the rest of his life in prison, Chu Xuan knew that he had to discipline him and guide him to the right path.
After being kicked a few times, Chu Feng put down the barrel and started to cry, "I just want to make money. My grandma used to tell me that when you grab something, you have to grab someone weaker than yourself to avoid being beaten..."
Chu Xuan raised her foot and suddenly couldn't kick it down. It was her negligence and she did not establish a correct outlook on life for her younger brother. "Xiao Feng, remember, it is wrong to steal other people's things. Taking things from people who are weaker than you is not only No, you are a coward! Not even a man! You don’t want to be a coward, do you?”
When Chu Feng thought about the scene where he was beaten and scolded by the Chu family because of his cowardice, he wiped away tears and said, "I don't want to be a coward, I want to be a brave man!"
At this moment, he felt that his sister was right to hit him.
"Very good! A brave man must dare to admit his mistakes and bear the consequences. Pick up the barrel, and I will go with you to apologize."
Chu Xuan walked in front with a tin bucket, and Chu Feng followed behind with a wooden bucket.
Feng Chunhua and Aunt Hua were not seen along the way. They had probably finished their fight and went home.
Before she even reached the door of Liu Zhaodi's house, she saw her rushing over with her two younger brothers Er Leng and San Leng.
The three siblings all held wooden sticks in their hands.
What else does Chu Xuan not understand? This is to settle a score with Xiao Feng.
He quickly explained, "Zhao Di, I'll bring Xiao Feng over to admit my mistake and return your overseas goods."
He gave Xiao Feng a gentle push and motioned for him to send the barrel over.
Chu Feng immediately complied and apologized sincerely, "Zhao Di, Er Leng, San Leng, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have robbed your seafood. And Zhao Di, I shouldn't have hurt you, I saw you bleeding... …”
When Chu Xuan heard the word "injured", he was furious. This younger brother was cheating on his older sister in a series of ways!
He glared at Chu Feng fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! You actually hurt a girl. I can't spare you when you go back!"
With a smile on his face, Chu Xuan offered a mullet weighing seven or eight pounds, "Zhao Di, I'm sorry! I didn't discipline Xiao Feng properly. You can use this fish to replenish your body, and the injury will heal faster. By the way, Let your younger brothers take the goods home, and I'll take you to the village clinic for bandaging. I'll cover all the medical expenses..."
Now it was Liu Zhaodi's turn to be embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly, "My bleeding is not the injury you imagined. It will be fine in a few days. Just return the seafood. I don't want the mullet."
Only then did Chu Xuan realize that Liu Zhaodi was here.
But the mullet cannot be taken back.
In another ten years, Liu Zhaodi will be extremely prosperous and her two younger brothers will become rich men. This family must not be offended.
Because those who offended them were retaliated tenfold later.
The end is not ordinary miserable.
