Chapter 322 She is Awei’s biological mother
Zhou Ruonan went to Chen Dong's house to buy some ice cubes. When she heard him say that the weather forecast said there would be showers tonight, she became more and more worried. "Dong, what wind force does the weather forecast say?"

Chen Dong picked up the note he had written down when listening to the forecast and took a look. "It says that there will be rainfall in some areas, with heavy rainfall in some areas, accompanied by severe convective weather and strong winds, with gusts reaching level 6 to 7."

Li Changshui said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, the weather forecast is not accurate. Don't worry. My brother and his friends are driving a new boat that is strong in wind resistance."

Seeing her frowning face, Chen Dong felt that he shouldn't say anything more. "Yes, weather forecasts are often inaccurate. Even if it really rains, Brother Ale's ship is a big one, and its ability to withstand winds should be more than level 6 or 7."

Zhou Ruonan nodded, "Ale said that the Xusheng can withstand winds of level 7 to 8."

"Then don't worry." Li Changshui helped carry the wooden box onto the tricycle. "Auntie, I'll be leaving in a while. I'll help keep an eye on it."

"You've been tired all day, go home and rest when you're done. I'll let Xiaoyang and Xiaohai wait here until dark before we go home."

"Yes, let's wait here until dark and then go back." Li Xiaoyang said, pulling Li Xiaohai.

"Don't run around, don't go to the shore to play in the water, just wait outside Chen's door, understand?"

"I know, mother! (Third Aunt)."

Zhou Ruonan rode his tricycle back to Nanshan. As soon as he arrived at the intersection, he saw Li's mother talking to a woman with short hair with an impatient look on her face.

"Auntie!"

"You're back!" Mother Li left the woman behind and came over, looking at her hopefully, "Is the boat back?"

"No." Zhou Ruonan pretended to be relaxed and comforted her, "A Shui said that the catch in the open sea is much more than that in the near sea. They may have encountered a large school of fish, which delayed them."

Mother Li felt relieved when she thought about how Ping and An used to go out to sea for at least ten days or half a month. Without even saying hello to the woman, she hurried forward to help push the tricycle back home.

"Ah Tang's wife!" The short-haired woman chased after him and asked happily, "Ah Wei is back?"

After seeing her, Zhou Ruonan understood that this woman was Chen Yongwei's remarried mother, Lin Caimei.

It looked like she wasn't living well after remarrying. Her complexion was sallow, and she didn't even bother to change into nicer clothes before going out to meet guests. The patch on her knee had changed color.

Mother Li turned around and said unhappily, "Go back. When the old lady sees you later, she will be upset again."

Lin Caimei's eyes turned red. "I just want to see Ah Wei. I heard that he is going to get engaged in September..."

Mother Li glanced at Jin Jia and her face darkened. "Why are you like this? I told you that Grandma Chen told you not to come to see A Wei. What's the point of you being so shameless?"

The man had been gone for less than a year, and no one had ever seen him alive or dead, but she was already eager to find a new home.

I haven't seen my widow and orphan for more than ten years. When I learned that the brothers Awei and Ale had bought a big ship together, I remembered that I had a son!

Lin Caimei wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "Auntie, I can't do anything about what happened in the past... I have been worried about Awei all these years and have secretly visited him several times.

You know the old lady’s temper. She didn’t even let him see her. Ah Wei is also my flesh and blood…”

"Don't give me that!" Mother Li curled her lips. "Why didn't you remember that Awei was your flesh and blood in the past few years? Now that he can make money, he is your flesh and blood?
Hurry up and leave. If the old lady comes and sees you here, and she gets mad at you, A Wei and his aunts won’t let you off!"

If the old lady was really unreasonable, when you did those dirty things with your mother's family, the Chen family would attack your Lin family.

I'm just trying to save face for you and Awei. You shameless thing, how dare you bring up the past? I feel like it's dirty talk when I say it.

You think that if you drop two drops of cat urine, people will happily acknowledge you as their real mother. That’s better than dreaming!

Seeing that Li's mother had no respect for her at all, Lin Caimei turned around and left, wiping her tears.

When Li's mother saw her walking away, she said to Zhou Ruonan, "She is Awei's biological mother."

Zhou Ruonan nodded, "I heard it."

Mother Li whispered, "This woman is not a good person. It hasn't been a year since Awei's father passed away, and she has hooked up with someone when she returned to her mother's home. Grandma Chen was worried that it would be bad for Awei if the matter got out of hand, so she didn't make a big fuss."

"The old lady thought a lot about Awei." Zhou Ruonan finally understood why Li's mother treated her like that. "A woman like this really doesn't deserve respect."

"Yes, my father is gone, and my mother has done something shameless. If those gossipy women in the village knew about it, I don't know how much gossip I would have to hear."

Zhou Ruonan nodded, stopped the tricycle, and carried the bucket off the tricycle with Li's mother. "Wow, you caught so many octopuses today?"

"The octopus weighs more than 100 kilograms, and there are 70 to 80 Wangchao."

"It's getting dark, I don't feel comfortable with you guys going to paint the bridge, so just send you to Adong's house."

"The difference between Adong's Wangchao and Tuxiaqiao is 10 cents each. There are 70 or 80 Wangchao, and the difference is 10 cents each, which is several dollars! And there are two sea cucumbers, which is another two or three dollars."

"Wow! The difference between the two is about ten yuan, which is enough to buy food for the chefs for a few days." Mother Li said and turned to leave. "I'll go buy some ice cubes and bring them over tomorrow morning."

"Mother!" Zhou Ruonan hurriedly called her, "I bought some ice cubes from Adong's when I came back."

Mrs. Li Da and Mrs. Li Er came over carrying a load of dried fish. They were a little disappointed to learn that the fishing boat had not returned yet. The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law carried the catch into the house and took bamboo baskets to the dam to collect the dried fish.

While Li's mother went in to get something, Zhou Ruonan told her two sisters-in-law what Chen Dong had said.

"If the wind speed is just as the weather forecast says, only force 6 or 7, our boat will be able to withstand it." Mrs. Li nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Mrs. Li bowed in the direction of the master's hall and said, "Please ask Lord Sea Dragon and Lord Ship Dragon to bless them and bring them back safely."

"Yes!" Zhou Ruonan and Li Ersao said in unison.

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said, "God's deeds cannot be concealed. Tell my mother later so that she won't worry when the storm comes."

"What are you whispering about?" Li's mother asked while holding a bamboo basket.

Zhou Ruonan said hurriedly: "Mother...I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. Ah Le said that our new boat can withstand a force 7 to 8 gale, so it will be fine."

"After I finish cleaning up, I will go to the Lord's Temple to pray and ask the gods to bless them with good luck."

"Mother, you go now, we can collect the crops here with Chun."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mother Li said, "Don't worry, they are lucky and will definitely get home safely."

"Of course." The three sisters-in-law nodded in response.

The mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law can only pray that the weather forecast says there will be wind and rain in some areas, and that the only area without rain is their area.

Even if it is windy and rainy, we have to wait for the Xusheng to come back. From then on, it will be windy or rainy as we want.

Li's mother went back to the house, took the wine pot, cakes, incense, candles, and paper money, put them in a basket, and walked towards the master's palace. When she arrived outside the Jin family's door, she was stopped by Jin Chan.

"Aunt, have Awei and the others arrived at the dock?"

"not yet!"

"The weather forecast calls for wind and showers tonight."

"I heard about it. You can go to Chen's house later to accompany the old lady so that she won't worry."

"I know." Jin Chan saw her holding the incense and candles, "Auntie, I will go to the master's palace with you."

"Okay, let's go together and pray to the gods to bless them to return to port safely."

"Yes!" Jin Chan went home to wash his hands, and went to the master's hall with Li's mother. The two of them piously placed offerings, lit incense, candles, and paper money, prayed for a while, and then walked out together.

"Aunt, I heard that Awei's mother came to the village to look for him."

"Yes, I have been here. Don't worry about it. Just listen to your grandma and Awei."

"Okay!" Jin Chan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know who told her about me and A Wei. She came to my house this afternoon. My mother asked me to take her to see my grandmother, but I didn't agree."

"You did the right thing. Don't tell your grandma about this. If she knows, she'll be angry again." Mother Li thought for a moment and said, "Wait until Wei comes back and talk to him about it. See what he does."

"I remember."

When the two of them came out of the master's hall, they met Ge Changfa who was riding a bicycle towards them. They stopped and waited for him to arrive. "Ah Fa, are you here to look for Ah Le?"

"Yes, Auntie!" Ge Changfa stopped the car. "I didn't see the Xusheng when I came back. Are they back now?"

"No!" Li's mother shook her head with a sad face.

"There are a lot of fish caught offshore. They may have been delayed by a large school of fish. Don't worry, they will be at the dock tomorrow morning."

"That's all I can think of."

Li's mother chatted with him about some family matters, said goodbye and left.

When we got home, Grandma Chen also came. The old lady also heard the weather forecast broadcast on the village loudspeaker and went to the pier to take a look before coming to Nanshan again.

Li's mother and daughter-in-law comforted her with a few words, and the old lady was no longer so anxious. She picked up the bamboo basket and helped collect the dried cuttlefish and put them in the jar to ferment.

Grandma Chen and Li's mother carried the dried cuttlefish back to the house and pulled her aside and said, "I heard that bitch Lin Caimei waited for Awei at the dock for the whole afternoon."

"Yeah!" Mother Li told her about Lin Caimei coming to Nanshan to look for her. "She looks like she has a hard time. She doesn't even have clothes to wear when she goes out."

"It's because things are tough. Knowing that Ah Wei and Ah Le made money and bought a big boat, they came to me. When life was easy before, I would never even think of looking at Ah Wei."

Mother Li nodded. "Don't bother with her. Ah Wei has never mentioned Lin Caimei in these years. He may have forgotten her a long time ago."

"I can't forget it!" Grandma Chen shook her head. "In the first two years after he left, I went to the intersection every day hoping his mother would come back. I didn't mention it until I grew up."

"Alas!" Li's mother sighed, "After all, she is his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him. He will never forget her."

"I am an unemployed widow myself, I know how difficult it is to be a widow. It's not that I won't let her remarry. I asked her to stay together for three years, but she couldn't do it. She did such a shameful thing. If people knew about it, how could Awei hold her head up in the village?"

"Ah Wei is already a married man with a career. He knows your intentions and will not listen to Lin Caimei's instigation."
