Chapter 100 Look, there's a lot of meat

Li Changle saw Agen being dragged by Uncle Wang and staggering towards Tang'an Village, so he walked back with the bucket.

The sun was scorching hot on his body, and he arrived at the village entrance sweating profusely. He was stopped by several villagers and asked about the moving of crabs last night. Someone also asked him how much money he earned last night?
Li Changle said a few perfunctory words, squeezed out of the encirclement and walked to the entrance of the alley. He was startled by Wang Laobian who was standing at the entrance of the alley. "Fuck! What are you doing standing here stealthily?"

Wang Laobian whispered, "I've already told that person about that matter, you can handle it yourself!"

Li Changle nodded, "Okay, I got it."

"Ah Le, I don't need to tell them. They are planning to continue their attack. It's your luck that you can even encounter the crab moving event."

Wang Laobian was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard the news this morning. He also went there last night. Why didn’t the crabs move out earlier? Why did they have to wait until he left and came ashore before moving?
Li Changle patted his shoulder and said, "Be more alert, and good luck will come naturally."

"..." Wang Laobian wanted to curse, if I had your luck, it would be hard for me not to be energetic!

Li Changle walked to the entrance of her lane and saw her mother standing in the lane talking with a few women she was on good terms with.

Seeing her excited look, I knew she was talking to a few people about catching crabs last night. I didn't expect to be pulled over by a few women for questioning.

I looked at the vegetable garden in the backyard, opened the fence and walked to the back door. I pushed it, but saw that the door was bolted, so I had to go to my parents' house.

Father Li, who was making ground cages in the house, saw him come back and asked happily, "Have you sold all the traps? How are the prices?"

"Of course it's much higher than what I sold it to the seafood store." Li Changle gestured to him and said, "It was sold for four hundred and twelve yuan."

Father Li was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "So many! I have been fishing in the sea for most of my life, and I have never encountered crabs moving.

Your mother said that after you left, most of the villagers went out to the beach. The area beyond the gate was full of people. Those who went early actually found a few crab holes and dug up some crabs, but those who went late didn’t even find a crab leg.”

Li Changle didn't expect those people to really go to the grove. "When I came back, someone stopped me and asked me to take him with me to go fishing in the sea!"

"Really? It's not like we can always encounter crabs moving. In all these years, only five or six people in the village have encountered it!"

Father Li was very proud because among those five or six people, one was his third son.

"That's right. Who knows when we'll meet again?" Li Changle gulped down a few sips of water and told him about Uncle Wang's situation. "I lent Uncle three hundred and sixty yuan."

After hearing this, Father Li said happily: "This is a good thing. Fortunately, you sold so much money this time, otherwise your uncle would have been embarrassed by him."

"I have always felt that your uncle and Wang Yonggen are not suitable for partnership. He is an upright person, while Wang Yonggen is not only cunning but also sinister. As the old saying goes, people can be cunning, but they cannot be sinister. If you form a partnership with a sinister person, you will suffer a great loss."

"Looking at the guy's appearance, he seems to be insidious." Li Changle thought about how Uncle Wang suffered a great loss in his previous life and even harmed his child in the end.

Father Li thought about it and said, "Your uncle is a good man. His meat stall must be doing well. He will be able to pay you back by the end of the year at the latest. You can talk to An Nan and don't worry about lending the money to your uncle."

"Anan wouldn't be suspicious!" Li Changle said with a smile, "My uncle even said that the money should be regarded as my investment, otherwise he would not want it. I just perfunctorily told him that I would return it to him when he brought the deed back."

"You did the right thing. I was just worried that your uncle wouldn't agree. Even if he agreed not to give you the shares, he might give you the interest."

"Let's talk about it when he comes." After saying that, Li Changle went home to pack up and go to the rocky beach.

When I went out, I saw a few children playing and jumping at the foot of the mountain. I think children nowadays are better. They are not like those in later generations. During holidays, they either attend cram schools or interest classes and have no free time at all.

When Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaozhou saw him coming back, they dropped their sandbags and ran towards him, "Dad, have you sold the blue crabs?"

"Dad, did you buy anything delicious?"

Li Changle took out the snacks he bought for them and handed them to his youngest son, "Share it with your brother and sister."

"Oh oh!" The younger son ran away happily.

Seeing that his eldest son was still waiting there, Li Changle gave him another push and said, "The restaurant has been taken away. Your mother and auntie are buying cans at the scrap collection station. Your father is going to the rocky beach to help your uncle Awei collect octopuses."

"Uncle San, did you make a lot of money? Oh, I wish you had taken me with you last night. I could have gone home and told my mother and aunt the news." Li Xiaoyang and others also ran back.

"I'm very busy today, you guys just stay at home."

Li Xiaotao said with a look of regret: "Uncle San, Uncle Wei lost a lot of blue crabs last night, what a pity! When my mother comes back, I will tell her that I don't want to study anymore. I will go fishing with you and earn money to support my wife!"

Li Changle laughed when he heard this, "You're still fishing for money to make a wife! You can't even do the math, what girl would be willing to marry you?"

"...I can do the accounting and help my mother sell fish."

"Dad, (Uncle San) we want to go fishing with you and make a lot of money."

"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're still thinking about making a lot of money!" Li Changle knocked on the foreheads of several people one by one, "It's better for you to just want to eat firewood, go and have fun." Li Xiaoyang covered his forehead, "Uncle San, I tell you, you will definitely find some good stuff when you go to the reef beach this time. If you don't take us with you, you will regret it."

"You little brat, you're still trying to provoke me." Li Changle slapped him in the face, ignored them, went into the house and started packing.

When I thought about going into the water soon, I remembered that I had forgotten to buy water pants when I came back in a hurry, so I went into the house to get a pair of pants.

"Dad, (Uncle San) please take us with you!" Several children followed him and muttered, "You said last time that you would take us with you..."

"Go and have fun by yourselves. We'll take you there when we're not busy."

Li Changle strode up the stone steps and walked towards the mountain. Not long after he went up the mountain, several villagers carrying buckets of water followed him up the mountain.

He looked back at a few people. The one leading the group seemed to be Achun who lived in the west end of the village. The bald man seemed to be called Ashan, who did not have a very good reputation in the village. There were a few others whose names he could not remember.

What's strange is that these people usually go to the dock to fish, so why are they taking a detour and going up the mountain today?

When Ah Chun and the others saw him turn around, they smiled at him flatteringly and said, "I heard from them that it's good luck to go to Yantou Mountain."

"Oh, then you guys go ahead, so I won't snatch your good luck away." Li Changle understood immediately after hearing this, and stopped and stood at the foot of the stone steps and said.

It seems that these people are just like Wang Laobian, wanting to share in his good luck. If Uncle Kun was not still waiting to watch the tide and find a chance to get the Buddha's hand snail out of the cave, he would have gone home to sleep today instead of going to the beach.

I slept for less than two hours last night, and my eyes hurt terribly now. I just want to fall on the bed and have a good sleep.

Ah Chun laughed at him, "It's okay, it's okay, you walk in front and we will follow you." How can I be lucky if I walk in front of you?

Seeing that the few people were standing there and not leaving, Li Changle had no choice but to carry the bucket and continue walking towards the top of the mountain. He thought that Awei had been gone for more than two hours and it was time to turn back.

I don’t know if anyone followed him when he went to the beach to collect cans?
If their new weapon were discovered, it wouldn't be long before the reef beach was filled with octopus catching pots.

There's no way. People here are as sensitive to the smell of money as cats are to the smell of fish. As long as there is the slightest smell of money, they will flock to it.

Li Changle walked up the mountain slowly, and then walked out of the cave slowly. Before she reached the beach, she saw Chen Yongwei walking up the mountain with a backpack and a bucket in his hand.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and simply stopped, found a rock to sit on and wait for him to go up the mountain.

Ah Chun and the others saw that he was not leaving, so they looked down and saw Ah Wei. They looked at each other and walked up to him and asked, "Ah Le, why aren't you leaving?"

"You guys go, I'll pick up Awei." Li Changle stretched out his legs and looked at the others leisurely. "Alas, I spent most of the night catching crabs, and I'm already very sleepy. I have to go home and catch up on my sleep."

When Ah Chun and the others saw his look, they were so angry that they almost spit at him, thinking: A scoundrel is a scoundrel. He just earned a little money last night and he's already starting to slack off.

They also don't know that they should take advantage of their good luck and go to the beach more often. If they come across something good, they can also share in the good news.

Li Changle naturally had no idea what Ah Chun and the others were thinking. If she knew, she would spit in their faces and scold them.

When Chen Yongwei saw him coming, he happily quickened his pace. The harvest the next day was even better than the last typhoon day. The hundreds of cans laid more eggs than the chickens and ducks raised by his grandmother.

I must take all the jars from my house and store them tonight, and then I will collect them and sell them the day after tomorrow.

Achun and his friends went down to the middle of the mountain and confronted Awei. They saw that his arm muscles were bulging, and it seemed that the catch in the bucket was not light.

The bucket was covered by a net bag so I couldn't see what was inside. I raised my head to look at the backpack he was carrying, but it was completely covered by the net bag so I couldn't see anything.

Ah Chun laughed and said, "Why are you covering yourself so tightly? You won't lose any meat if you see it. You are so petty!"

"That's right, it's not something shameful to show, why cover it so tightly?" Ashan said as he reached out to lift the net bag covering the backpack.

"You're the one who can't stand being seen!" Chen Yongwei dodged and said unhappily, "I'm covering myself up tightly, just because I don't want people like you to see me!"

Seeing that the honest head of the village dared to confront him, Ah Shan got angry and said, "I don't even want to see it even if you show it to me. It's just a stroke of luck that I caught a few crabs. What's the big deal?"

"I'm so great, if you're capable, go catch a few and show them to me." Li Changle came down at some point and glanced at A Shan, "I won't show you my stuff, what do you want?"

"...I don't even want to see it!" After saying that, Ashan turned around and walked down the mountain.

Ah Chun and the others also left with a wry smile.

Seeing them leave, Li Changle was too lazy to bother with such people. He reached out and took the octopus from Awei, and the two of them walked up the mountain together.
