Chapter 110: I have dark circles under my eyes, but I still want to deal with people
Secretary Wang took the cigarette, put it behind his ear and said, "Ah Wang, Ah Le has already expressed his stance, you should also express your stance!"
Wang Laokou swallowed his anger and said, "The Li and Chen families must not stir up trouble in the future. If they do, we will not be as easy to talk to as we were today."
Wang Mazi stood there with a gloomy face, thinking that he would ask A Biao to watch when it got dark. As long as they saw Li Changle and Chen Yongwei walking towards Changtang, they would wait for them to come back and then take action.
"Okay, remember what I said today, and don't cause trouble again." Secretary Wang waved at everyone and said, "Let's go home and have dinner."
After the fun, it was almost time for dinner, and everyone went home talking a lot.
When they reached the corner, Li Changle looked at Zhou Ruonan's face and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Zhou Ruonan smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Go home and boil an egg and apply a hot compress to it and the swelling will go down."
Mrs. Li said: "Wang Mazi rushed out and hit me, and Anan and Zhen came to help me, and Wang Mazi hit them in the face."
"Adong is not bad. He came to help immediately after seeing Wang Mazi taking action." Mother Li said to Chen Fulai and his wife, "Alai, Chunxiu, thank you for your help today."
"Yes, today it's all thanks to Uncle Alai and Aunt Alai for their help." Li Changle said as he went to take out a cigarette, then he remembered that he had flashed, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the store.
Chen Fu looked at the somewhat embarrassed Liu Chunxiu and said, "Why thank me? This matter was originally caused by my soft-hearted wife."
It all comes down to jealousy and greed, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a shameful thing.
"I still have to thank you." Mother Li said to Grandma Chen with a smile, "You can take your time later. We will go back to cook first."
"Okay, you go first, we'll take it slow."
After Li's mother and her daughter-in-law left, Grandma Chen patted Liu Chunxiu and said, "You are usually very smart, but today you were almost ruined by Zou Anv, that stinky woman. Don't be so gullible in the future."
Liu Chunxiu smiled awkwardly at her, "Second Aunt, I'll remember this."
She is not as shameless as Zou Anv. She would deny what she said in a blink of an eye and could even say that the dead were alive. I was almost killed by her.
Chen Fulai turned his head and glanced at her. "You money-hungry woman, you should learn your lesson this time, right?"
Liu Chunxiu glared at him in reproach, "Why are you so talkative!"
Li Changle came out of the canteen and caught up with the others. He took out a pack of Red Eagle and stuffed it into Chen Fulai's pocket. "Uncle Alai, thank you for speaking up for justice."
"Don't be polite, your mother has already thanked me once." Chen Fulai looked at him with a smile, "See? No one spoke up for the Wang family today.
Even two of their own family members just stood there watching without saying anything. Old Wang was so angry that his face turned blue. Just watching that made him feel better."
Grandma Chen took over the conversation, "The Wang family masters are obsessed with money. They do things without leaving any way out, and they don't even let the villagers go. Everyone goes around his shop when selling fish. I think it's only a matter of time before his shop collapses."
Liu Chunxiu: "My family has not gone to his house to sell seafood for a long time. When Alai's waist gets better, we will go to the deserted island to fish for seafood like Ale and his friends."
"Ale and his friends encountered a school of fish today, so people are lining up to rent our fishing boat. The dates are booked up until half a month later. When the last one comes back from the sea, we will do it ourselves."
The rental fee for their boat is expensive, so few people have rented it. They mainly go out to sea to haul a net, and if they are lucky they only make 10 to 20 yuan, not including the cost of diesel.
If someone really rents it every day, the monthly salary would be 180 yuan. He would have no need to go out to sea. It would be much better for him to live at home collecting rent.
After all, like Ale and his friends, the chance of encountering a large school of fish is quite slim, otherwise the fishing boats in the village would not go to the fishing grounds to fish.
When those who rent boats to go out to sea come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there will still be no profit as before, and some people may even come to cancel their lease!
Li Changle didn't expect so many people to follow suit. He felt that the next time he went to the island he visited today, those valuable Buddha's hand snails and oyster snails might have been taken away by others. Next time he went, he would have to go to another deserted island.
Chen Yongwei: "I think fishing really depends on luck. I used to rent Uncle Alai's boat to go out to sea. On a good day, I could only earn seven or eight yuan after paying for the diesel and the boat rental. When I went out with my brother Ale, I encountered a large school of fish."
Chen Fulai smiled and said, "Next time we will do the same as those who go out to sea. We will go to the Lord's Temple to worship before setting out to sea."
"Good luck praying, the gods will see it." After Li Changle was reborn, he firmly believed that gods existed, but we just couldn't see them.
Chen Fulai nodded, "There must be gods, otherwise people in our fishing village wouldn't have to go to worship gods and offer sacrifices to the Dragon Lord every time they go out to sea."
The group arrived at the entrance of the village while chatting and laughing. Li Changle said to Chen Fulai, "Uncle Alai, Aunt Alai, would you like to go to my house for a drink?"
Liu Chunxiu smiled and shook her head. "No, the children have already prepared the meal at home. The fish and shrimps that Awei sent were also cooked."
"A Le, when your boat comes back, we'll go with you and share in your good luck." Chen Fulai said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Li Changle nodded readily, "Okay, if the time is right, we can go together so that everyone can take care of each other."
He felt that Chen Fulai was a good person. He was not like some other people who would put all the money into their pockets without caring whether the person was their aunt or their brother, as long as there was something good to be gained.
Seeing that he responded readily, Chen Fulai said happily: "I've been waiting to go with you too." "Okay, it will be quick." Li Changle smiled and waved at him, and walked back with Chen Yongwei, supporting Grandma Chen.
The old lady had bound her feet when she was a child. Although her feet were not bound successfully, she still could not walk as fast as normal feet, so she seldom went out and walked such a long distance.
Grandma Chen said, "Alai has good character, Chunxiu is also okay, but they are easily fooled and cannot stand being teased. Before the family was separated, her brother's wife provoked her to fight with her mother-in-law. After suffering a few losses, they finally learned their lesson."
Chen Yongwei: "I think Auntie still hasn't learned her lesson. Look, she almost got hurt again this time."
Grandma Chen: "Every time you suffer a loss, you learn a lesson. Only after you have suffered a lot, you will learn from the lesson and become smarter."
Li Changle felt that these words touched his heart. He used to like to dwell on trivial matters and thought that suffering a small loss was not a big deal. It was not until he suffered a big loss that he learned his lesson.
As they slowly approached, Li's mother was already cooking conches. The other meat dishes and seafood were already prepared, and the rice was already cooked before they set off.
Stir-frying shrimps, frying pomfret, and steaming conger eel all in one double-burner stove doesn’t take much effort.
Li's mother scooped a large ladle of water into the pot, added a few slices of ginger, a little rice wine, and onions. After the water boiled, put in the conches and cooked for one or two minutes before serving.
Zhou Ruonan took an egg, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and rolled it back and forth on her face to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Li Xiaozhou squatted in front of her and said distressedly: "Mother, my brother is ho ho!"
"Mom, did Dad really teach Wang Mazi a lesson?" Li Xiaohai looked at her worriedly and distressedly.
"He was taught a lesson. Your father gave Wang Mazi a good lesson and beat him until he cried." Zhou Ruonan looked at her two sons, her heart melting. "Mom, it won't hurt. Just roll them with an egg a few times and the bruises will be gone."
Although Li Changle was not very reasonable before, he never hit her. This was the first time the children saw her being beaten.
"Then we won't eat eggs. We'll boil them all for you."
Li Changle leaned against the door and looked at the adults and children in the room for a while before saying with a smile, "It's time to eat."
"Dad, you're back!" Li Xiaohai and his brother ran to the door. "Dad, Wang Mazi beat up Mom. He's not a good person. We can't play with him anymore."
"Dad knows." Li Changle stroked his hand and said, "Boss, you are a little kid. You worry so much. Be careful that you won't grow tall in the future."
Li Xiaohai was dissatisfied, ran to Zhou Ruonan, pouted and said: "Look, mother, my father said I can't grow tall again!"
Zhou Ruonan smiled and scratched his nose, "Grandma made braised pork, you should eat more meat, and you will be taller than your father in the future."
"Dad, did you hear that? Mom said I will be taller than you in the future!" The little guy straightened his back and looked at him, thinking that he looked taller this way.
"That requires you to eat more." Li Changle patted his butt, "Grandma has already set the table, let's go out and eat."
Li Xiaohai nodded, "Oh!"
After the two brothers left, Li Changle walked into the house, took out the money he had earned from selling tuna, octopus and conch in the afternoon, and handed it to Zhou Ruonan.
"Here's exactly two hundred dollars."
Zhou Ruonan looked at him in surprise, "How much do those Buddha's hand snails cost per pound?"
"One dollar and three cents per pound!" Li Changle said with a smile, "Uncle Kun said it's not as big as last time, and the chef took one look and said that even if it's the same size, it's not as good as last time.
After cooking a bowl and tasting it, I found that the taste was indeed not as good as the ones carved out from the cave. They said that they were not as fresh and juicy. If I had known this, I would have cooked a bowl to try it. "
"Next time I chisel it out, I'll definitely cook it and try it." Zhou Ruonan put the money away. "I was worried that it would take some time for you to give Ah Wei the money you lent to my uncle. Now it's good. Once the bill is settled, you'll have money to give Ah Wei."
"Are you happy now? What I earned today is not only enough to pay back Wei, but also enough to pay back Dad."
"Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan looked at him happily, "Mother also said that after you walk on the right path, you will take good care of the family."
"Mother, what about you?" Li Changle came forward to hug her and kissed her bruised face, "Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Zhou Ruonan put her arms around his waist and leaned into his arms. "I've felt like I was dreaming these past few days. Sometimes I worry that when I wake up, you'll still be as lazy as before."
"Silly girl!" Li Changle lowered his head and touched her forehead. "You dare to doubt your man? I'll deal with you tonight."
Zhou Ruonan hit him, "You have black eyes, and you still want to punish me!"
"How dare you look down on me?" Li Changle picked her up and walked towards the bed. "Don't even mention you didn't sleep for one night. I'll still deal with you even if you didn't sleep for three nights!"
Zhou Ruonan was so scared that she quickly hugged his neck and said, "Put me down quickly, we are waiting for dinner outside!"
"I'll let you go first. Be a good boy at night." Li Changle put her down, bit her lips, and then went out with satisfaction.
