Chapter 93 Someone is doing something bad
"Don't buy it. We have an old hen at home that refuses to lay eggs. Just kill it if you want to eat it." Li's mother, who is usually very frugal, agreed to kill the chicken and stew the seahorse after hearing him say that good nutrition can help people recover quickly.

Father Li glared at her and said, "If Ah Le is willing to eat it, can you do the same? Don't listen to him. I will take care of it for a few more days."

"Dad, that's not how it's calculated. Think about it, the sooner you get better, the sooner you can go out to fish in the ocean and make money..."

"I know, you don't have to worry about me, I know what's going on." Father Li said, "I have all the fishing nets, I have nothing to do now, go buy some fishing lines and steel wires.

I will help you make dozens of ground traps and crab nets. When the fishing boats come back, we can put out a dozen rows of ground traps each time we go out to sea. A little bit will add up to a lot, and we can get a good catch.”

"Let An Nan buy some fishing line tomorrow." Li Changle thought about it and reminded him, "Take your time and don't get too tired."

"I know my own body well." Father Li waved his hand at him, "The tide is receding, go do what you need to do."

Li Changle nodded. "Then you should rest early. Awei and I will go to the grove to see if the traps we set last time have been washed back by the waves."

"When you look for it, look near the reefs. Sometimes the traps are swept over by the waves and get caught on them."

"Yeah!" Li Changle suddenly remembered the situation of collecting the traps that day when he heard him say this. "Dad, the typhoon level this time is not high. All the traps we put down were tied to the small trees with fishing ropes.

The typhoon didn’t uproot the trees, it just broke them. It shouldn’t have blown away so many ground traps!”

Father Li thought for a moment and frowned, "What you said makes sense. Could it be that someone stole the trap before the typhoon?"

Mother Li said, "How is it impossible? Have you forgotten that there are two families in the village who are dishonest, and the stingy Wang family is one of them. Also, Ah Le and his family have been so lucky recently, I think it is likely that someone took away the trap."

Li Changle felt that Li's mother said what he wanted to say, but he had no evidence.

Father Li looked at the mother and son and said, "It's okay for us to talk about it at home, but don't talk nonsense outside. If it gets out and someone comes to our door, we will be the only ones to suffer."

"I know." Li Changle said, "Dad, I'll send those traps down today, and buy an internet cable tomorrow. I'll put a mark on the hidden spot, so I won't be afraid of it being stolen next time."

Father Li nodded repeatedly, "Although it's a little troublesome, it's better than having it stolen and not being able to get it back."

Li's mother said nonchalantly, "It's no problem. Look at our dustpans, tables, chairs and benches. They haven't fallen off since we carved our mark on them."

After hearing this, Li Changle mentioned the bench against the wall and saw that his father's name was engraved on it. "Why didn't I think of this before?"

Mother Li said distressedly: "Yes, if I had thought of it earlier, I wouldn't have lost dozens of dollars in vain."

"Well, it's already fallen. There's no point regretting it." Father Li waved his hand at Li Changle, "Go do your thing!"

"Ok!"

Li Changle came out of her parents' room and saw Zhou Ruonan and her two sisters-in-law weaving nets on the steps. She greeted them and went back to see that the fishing gear for fishing had been packed up. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Yongwei arrived.

"Brother, I brought the bait. How many traps should we take this time?"

"Today I'm only taking a few old cages with me. I'll let them have the new ones..."

"Do you really think it was stolen?"

"It's just a suspicion. Let's do the prevention work first."

"You are very thoughtful." Chen Yongwei picked up the trap and put it in the backpack, and they went out together.

When I reached the entrance of the alley, I met a few villagers who were fishing for sea urchins. As soon as I met them, I asked them about their purple sea urchins and said I wanted to join them in fishing for sea urchins.

I didn't follow Li Changle because I heard that he was going to the grove to look for traps.

Two of them still didn't believe it, so they stood there and watched them actually go towards the gate, and then they turned around and left.

Chen Yongwei looked behind him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, we are not going to the cave today, right?"

"No! When we get to the grove, we'll first put down the traps, then go to the rocks in the shallow water to find the traps. When the water recedes to the big rocks, we'll go through the muddy beach to collect the cans."

"Okay, you give the instructions and I'll just execute them." Chen Yongwei said, patting his arm. "Brother, you forgot to buy mothballs again."

"Remember to remind me next time." Li Changle told him that his father had asked him to make dozens more traps.

When they reached the long pond, Li Xiaoyang ran over from the other side of the bridge, "Uncle San, why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"What are you waiting for me for?" Li Changle looked at him, "Go home and sleep quickly."

Li Xiaoyang crossed his arms and said, "No, I want to go fishing to make money. If you don't take me with you, I will go by myself."

"What if your mother is asleep and can't see you?" Li Changle stepped forward and grabbed him, slapping him on the butt. "Get lost. If I see you sneaking to the beach, I'll beat you up."

Li Xiaoyang dropped his buttocks and grabbed the railing of the stone bridge. "Next time I'll tell my mother, if she agrees, will you take me with you?"

"If your mother agrees, I will take you there, but only if you finish your homework." Li Changle felt like hitting someone.

Li Xiaoyang looked at him, "Uncle San, you have to keep your word!"

"You want to be beaten, right?" Li Changle glared at him, grabbed him and said, "Come on, I'll take you home." "I don't need you to take you home. A man should go home when he said he would. You have to keep your word." After saying this, Li Xiaoyang ran home.

"He's not even fully grown yet and he's already a man!" Li Changle was a little worried, so he asked Chen Yongwei to wait there and chased after him. Only after seeing him go home did he return with relief.

When the two were almost at the saline-alkali land, they saw Wang Laobian walking in front of them carrying a bucket and a sack.

"Lao Bian!" Chen Yongwei called him.

Wang Laobian turned his head and looked at the two of them, looking a little uncomfortable and said, "Are you two going to set up the trap too?"

He had been avoiding the two of them for the past few days, so how come he met them again?
"What the hell is going on? My traps were blown away by the typhoon." Li Changle thought of this guy's sneaky look and asked him, "Lao Bian, when you were laying traps, did you see our traps?"

"No, I didn't see it." Wang Laobian glanced at him and said emphatically, "I really didn't see it!"

Li Changle's intuition told him that this guy was guilty, so he turned on the headlight and shone it on him, "Really didn't see it?"

Wang Laobian replied with a twinkle in his eyes: "I really didn't see it! You didn't give me the trap to help you watch it."

Seeing that he didn't admit it, Li Changle said bluntly: "From the look on your face, I know you've seen our traps. Tell me the truth, was it you who picked it up?"

Chen Yongwei thought of what Li Changle had said when he was at home just now, "It's probably you, otherwise how could so many of them be washed away when I tied them up so well?"

"You are slandering me!" Wang Laobian said angrily with a red face, "I am poor and a bit stingy, but I have never taken anything from others in my life."

He paused, pointed his finger at the sky and swore, "If I pick up your trap and don't return it, my old man's neck will be crooked like that for the rest of his life!"

Chen Yongwei lost his mind when he heard him say that. He turned to look at Li Changle and said, "Brother!"

Seeing him swear on his precious son, Li Changle believed that he was not the one who took the trap. However, from his expression, it was clear that he was hiding something else from them.

"It's either you or someone else. And you saw this person with your own eyes, and he also saw you see him. Otherwise, why are you feeling guilty?"

"Why should I feel guilty? It was you who provoked others and aroused their jealousy. They cut your fishing ropes with knives. Now that the typhoon is coming, it would be strange if the traps don't run away."

Wang Laobian glanced at him and said, "Don't say I said it, even if you say it, I won't admit it."

Li Changle stepped forward and said, "We saved your life last time and helped you get out of the trap. How are you going to repay us?"

"I was just bitten by a centipede..."

"Is it true that we helped you?"

"Yes, what do you want?"

"I don't care what you do, just tell the person who cuts my rope tomorrow night that I have set dozens of traps."

Wang Laobian hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll just consider it as paying you back for helping me that time."

"Thank you!"

Li Changle looked at Wang Laobian who was walking away with big strides, and knew in his heart who he was talking about. Apart from Wang Mazi, that monkey, who else in Shatou Village could do such a despicable thing.

"Brother, did he say that someone cut our fishing ropes, and that's why so many traps escaped during the typhoon?"

"That's right! I said it, with the last typhoon's strength, it's impossible to blow away so many of our ground traps. It turns out that bastard is the one behind all this."

"I can't kill that bastard!" Chen Yongwei turned around angrily and was about to go find Wang Mazi to settle the score.

Li Changle grabbed him and said, "If you go find him now, he will insist that he never did it. Why don't you bite him?"

"That's what Wang Laobian saw and what he just said."

"He also said that he didn't recognize it."

"What should we do? Let him destroy our traps for nothing?" Chen Yongwei said angrily, "I will throw his traps into the sea as well."

"Don't worry, God will punish you for what you have done."

"Brother, do you want to expose his affair with A Biao's wife?" Chen Yongwei said distressedly, "Dozens of traps, not counting the catch, are worth dozens of dollars.

Besides, what does it have to do with us if A Biao's wife messes with him? Even if A Biao catches them, we won't be able to recover our losses."

"I've changed my mind. I don't have the time to help catch an adulterer!" Li Changle put his arm around his shoulders. "Think about it. We just picked up so many sea urchins and sold them to Adong's family. That bastard must be so angry right now.

You say, when he knows we are setting traps today and dozens more tomorrow, I don’t believe he won’t take action.”

"Yes, I forgot that you asked my sister-in-law to mark him. When we catch him, we will settle all the old and new accounts together."

"Yes, let's settle both old and new accounts together!" Li Changle was looking forward to August coming soon, waiting to see how miserable Wang Mazi's family would be after his backer fell.
