Feng Chunhua just walked back without giving any response.
However, after arriving at the door of the house, Feng Chunhua did not go in. Instead, she ran into Hua Daling's house next door.
She shouted angrily, "Hua Daling, come out!"
Hua Daling was preparing to cook in the kitchen. When she heard Feng Chunhua's voice, she walked slowly to the yard and said, "Feng Chunhua, are you being let out? What are you yelling at? Didn't you knock on the door when you entered my house?" "
Feng Chunhua's eyes were filled with anger and she asked, "Did you say anything to that dead girl Chu Xuan? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Hua Daling immediately made an oath, "I can swear to the conscience of heaven and earth that I have never told Chu Xuan your secret!"
This was heard by Chu Zhi outside the door.
Chu Zhi blurted out, "Mom, what's your secret?"
Why didn't he know?
Could it be that what Chu Xuan said was true?
Isn't his eldest brother his biological eldest brother?
If so, will the death compensation of the eldest brother be recovered?
Feng Chunhua looked at Chu Zhi and pointed to the door, "You stay there while I go to the house with you, Sister Hua, to talk about something important."
Chu Zhi quickly promised, "I will keep it safe!"
I was very curious.
When Hua Daling and Feng Chunhua entered the hall and closed the door, Chu Zhi did not stand obediently outside the courtyard door, but quietly approached the window of the hall.
"What's going on? Judging by the way you're asking for help, could it be that your granddaughter knows your secret? I didn't say that her father is not your biological son."
"Hua Daling, please keep your voice down! Back then, your mother-in-law blackmailed me for twenty pounds of white noodles over this matter. Now that your mother-in-law is dead, you are the only one who knows this secret. It was not you who said it. Who could have said it?"
"Chu Xuan asked me if I knew your secret. But I told her, I don't know. Could it be that Chu Xuan heard you talking in your sleep before..."
"It's also possible. If she was just talking in her sleep, I won't admit it! Hua Daling, you have to be strict with your mouth! Otherwise, I'll ask your family for twenty pounds of white noodles!"
"Don't worry! Even if the knife is on my neck, I won't say anything."
When Chu Zhi heard this, he hurried back to the courtyard gate.
Wait for Feng Chunhua to come out and go home together.
We don’t have any food at home, so we can go to the village for dinner. However, after today, every person has to pay an IOU of 20 cents for every meal.
Feng Chunhua is reluctant to part with money, and now she only has ten yuan in hand given by her brother Feng Ti.
"Xiao Zhi, if we go to the old house to block the door tomorrow morning, I don't believe that we can't get food from Chu Xuan!"
Chu Zhi couldn't help but said, "Mom, if Chu Xuan finds out that eldest brother is not your biological son, not only will he not give you food, but he will also recover compensation for his death."
"You naughty son is eavesdropping..." Feng Chunhua secretly cheered herself up and continued, "That damn girl Chu Xuan is deceiving me today! It must be! She doesn't have any evidence to prove that your eldest brother is not my biological son! In a moment, Go to the village office to eat, have a good sleep at night, and tomorrow morning go block the door and ask for food!"
At this moment, Chu Xuan had arrived at Gao Meijuan's house.
Gao Meijuan was drying the clothes. When she saw Chu Xuan come in, she said with a gentle face, "I was just about to finish drying the clothes and go to your house. If you come, I don't have to make a trip. If Feng Chunhua and her son can be released, guess what? It's almost the same. It was the Feng family who found the relationship, and Chu Dashan took the responsibility, saying that he threatened Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua to rob your home. Feng Chunhua and Chu Zhi also changed their confessions..."
Chu Xuan was not surprised at all, "Grandma Gao, today I discovered a secret about Feng Chunhua. My father is not her biological son. Hua Daling definitely knows this, but she refuses to say it. Can you help find out what Feng Chunhua did back then? What about Peanuts?”
Gao Meijuan agreed without saying a word, "My mother-in-law should know. I'll go to town right now."
Wang Depin's eldest brother has a regular job in the town, and his mother lives in the town with her eldest son to enjoy the blessings. She rarely comes back, and Gao Meijuan and the others go there to visit the old man.
Chu Xuan said with gratitude, "Grandma Gao, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
"What's the trouble? I haven't seen my mother-in-law for exactly half a month. I'm leaving. You can help lock the door. Shasha will be at your house now, right? She has the key. Let her come back and cook dinner."
"Okay."
Chu Xuan watched Gao Meijuan ride away and then locked the courtyard door.
When I got home, I gave Wang Shasha a large bowl of fried blue-scaled fish and ten steamed buns with mixed noodles before sending her out.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the construction team finished the work.
There are a lot of unused red bricks, cement, etc. neatly placed in the yard. Now that there is a high courtyard wall and a large iron gate, there is no need to worry about thieves.
After seeing off the construction team, Chu Xuan and Chu Feng tidied up the yard and reviewed the first-grade textbooks before going into the kitchen to eat.
At noon, there was only seaweed and egg drop soup, fried blue-scaled fish and steamed buns with mixed noodles. They ate dinner in a hurry. Chu Feng put away the dishes, Chu Xuan took the flashlight, picked up the tools for catching the sea, and walked towards the beach...
When we got there, the tide was going out.
There are many clams on the beach, but few people pick them up.
Chu Xuan was a little confused. There were usually a lot of people picking up clams. What happened tonight?
I took a flashlight and looked into the distance, only to find that most of the people had gone to the rocks.
That's the place Chu Xuan has been going to these days. There are so many people here, even if there are good goods, you may not be able to grab them.
I plan to make fried clams at noon tomorrow, so I’ll pick up half a bucket first.
Half an hour later, after finally picking up half a bucket of clams, Chu Xuan stood up with support on his waist.
Carrying the bucket, I walked forward until I reached the seawater. I took a flashlight and shined it. I saw a dead Spanish mackerel weighing about two kilograms. I picked it up and looked at the gills. It was quite fresh and put it in the bucket.
At this time, a transparent umbrella-shaped object washed ashore, and Chu Xuan saw clearly that it was a jellyfish.
She didn't touch it. She didn't like to eat it, and it was very troublesome to handle. If she didn't handle it well, she might be poisoned.
Go around the jellyfish and continue walking forward.
I found two ugly fish that were as big as an adult’s hand.
It's skinned fish.
This kind of fish is not worth much in this day and age. The cheapest price is a few cents per pound.
Its nutritional value is no worse than other fish, and its meat is sweet and delicious. Cod liver is large and can be used to make cod liver oil.
Fish skin is very tough and contains a small amount of toxins, so it must be peeled before eating.
Chu Xuan found that both fishes were still fresh and could be steamed tomorrow.
In fact, this kind of fish is delicious when made into grilled fillets, but there are only two pieces, so it is not worth grilling.
After searching for another half an hour, I didn't find anything good. The tide was about to rise, so I was ready to leave.
Suddenly I saw a sea bass on the sea that was more than 40 centimeters long and weighed about 20 kilograms.
It's one and a half yuan per catty. If you catch this fish, you can sell it for about thirty yuan.
Chu Xuan was moved.
Putting down the bucket, I took a hand-held net and used the seawater to catch fish. The seawater had just reached my calves.
Compared with this fish, the handmade net in Chu Xuan's hand was a bit small.
The first time I went to fish for it, I didn't catch it.
When he saw its figure clearly, he took action again and let it escape again.
The tide had begun to rise, and the water was up to Chu Xuan's knees.
It's a pity to give up like that.
The higher the tide, the more joyful the fish swims.
