Chapter 331: The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child
The old lady took out a yellowed deed from her pocket and slapped it on the desk, "This is the contract we signed with the elders of the Lin family, the village cadres, and your current man.

Oh~ I forgot that the village cadre at that time is your father-in-law now, and you left your son who was only a few years old to help raise the son of the Zhao family in order to climb up the social ladder."

Lin Caimei looked at the contract on the desk and raised her head to look at Chen Yongwei with a guilty conscience, "Awei..."

"Why did you call him? He was running a high fever and calling him mother!" The old lady said sarcastically, "Are you trying to say that your parents, who are always eager to climb up the social ladder, didn't tell you about this?

Look here, these are the handprints of your parents and the father and mother of the Zhao family, these are the handprints of the elders of the Chen family, and the handprints of the village cadres of Shatou Village.

There are four copies of this thing in total, one for each of your mother's family, the Chen family, and the two villages.

From July 14, 1968, Awei has been raised by me, his grandmother. From now on, he has nothing to do with you, and your life, old age, sickness and death have nothing to do with him.

Over the years, you have never given your children even a piece of candy or a piece of cloth during the holidays.

Now that you know that the child followed his brother to build a new house and bought a big boat, you came and wanted to ask Awei for money to help you support your litter.

You are dreaming! As long as I am alive, you will never harm my Awei."

After Chen Yongwei picked up the deed and read it, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He coldly put the deed back on the table, lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Caimei glanced at Chen Yongwei and said, "I didn't mean to harm Ah Wei. After all, he is my flesh and blood. When his father was alive, I never did anything to let them down.

After his father passed away, I felt sorry for him, and I didn't have the face to look for him, but my family was really in trouble, we could barely make ends meet, and we had borrowed from all the relatives we could. "

"Lin Caimei!" Uncle Chen, who had been listening but not saying anything, looked at her and said, "You raised him when he was young, and he raised you when you were old. You gave birth to him but didn't raise him. You didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a mother. Now you have no right to come and find the child and talk to him about filial piety."

He then looked at Chen Yongwei and said, "You were raised by your grandma. The grace of raising you is greater than the grace of giving birth to you."

Chen Yongwei raised his head, took a step forward and said, "Grandpa, I was raised by my grandma, and the only person I will have to support in the future is my grandma."

Grandma Chen pulled him with a distressed look, "Ah Wei, Grandma just wants you to be well."

Lin Caimei looked up at Chen Yongwei and his grandson, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I won't come to Shatou Village again." After that, she turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Yongwei stopped her and took out all the money in his pocket and put it on the table. "Take this money. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"

Lin Caimei looked at the dozens of dollars on the table, hesitated for a long time, looked up at him deeply, reached out and grabbed the money and held it tightly in her hand, turned around without saying a word, opened the door and walked out.

When Chen Yongwei saw her take the money and walk away quickly, he suddenly felt as if a piece of emptiness was missing from his heart. He looked at his grandmother who was looking at him worriedly and said, "It's all gone. I won't think about it anymore!"

"Yes, I don't want to think about it anymore!" Grandma Chen patted his hands distressedly, "Go and help your brother with his work."

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Accountant Chen and Uncle Chen gratefully, "Grandpa, Uncle Dong, thank you for your help."

Uncle Chen waved his hand at him, "Go ahead, and be filial to your grandma in the future!"

"I know." Chen Yongwei strode out, and seeing Li Changle loading the truck, he ran to the front of the truck, "Brother, let me do it. I'm stronger."

"Why didn't you come earlier? You came here when everything was gone." Li Changle pounded his shoulders, "I'm so tired."

Chen Yongwei looked at him and smiled innocently, "You've worked hard. Go back to Nanshan and have a rest. I'll help kill the fish and dry the dried fish."

"Forget it. It looks like something is not right today. We should quickly pull the goods back, add oil, wash them, and hang them out to air them."

"Okay, I'll go and move the goods down right away." Chen Yongwei said as he ran towards the boat.

Li Changle glanced at Grandma Chen who was standing far away looking at this side, waved at her, and began to close the carriage door.

The old lady nodded at him, and she and Accountant Chen helped Uncle Chen walk away.

Ah Kun got out of the car and handed him a stack of money. "Ah Le, this is the money for the jellyfish. I've asked someone to inquire about the price of the hairtail. Come back tomorrow morning and we'll talk."

"Okay!" Li Changle took the money and put it in his trouser pocket, "Uncle, is this small truck expensive?"

"It's too expensive. You can't buy it without a quota." A Kun glanced at him with a smile, "You are quite rich, are you planning to buy a car again?"

"All my money is tied up in the boat. I want to buy a house with the money I earn this time. When I have money in the future, I want to buy a tractor to transport goods. Forget about buying this."

"Tractor indicators are easy to get. Just tell me when you want to buy one."

"Thank you, Uncle Kun!" Li Changle diligently helped him open the car door. After the car drove away, he walked towards the boat. When he got on the boat, he saw Chen Yongwei sitting on the deck, smoking.

"Wow! Your addiction to smoking is worse than mine!"

"Brother," Chen Yongwei looked up at him with red eyes, "We were in the brigade office, and my grandma took out the contract they had written before...

I gave her all the dozens of dollars in my pocket and told her to take the money and we would have nothing to do with each other from now on.

When she took the money and walked out, I felt like there was a hole in my heart, but this time was different from when my father passed away when I was a child. I thought she was gone." Li Changle patted his shoulder, stood up and pulled him, "You don't look tired, go down quickly and bring up the bamboo basket, and go back to kill the fish and dry the dried fish."

"Okay, let me do it this afternoon." Chen Yongwei took his hand and stood up. "Brother, thank you!"

"Get lost!" Li Changle rubbed his arms. "So corny! It's giving me goosebumps!"

"I won't say anymore. I find it too corny." After saying that, Chen Yongwei pulled open the cargo hold hatch and jumped down.

Before the two men had filled the cart, Brother Li and Li Daxiao pulled another cart over. The four of them moved all the fish and shrimp left in the cargo hold onto the cart and sent them back to Nanshan to be slaughtered and cleaned.

Li Changle cleaned the cargo hold, unloaded the broken trawl net and put it into a bamboo basket, picked up the bucket and scooped up the snails and yellow snails in the live hold into the bucket, and then Li Erge came pulling a cart.

"Brother, can we kill them all and hang them out today?"

"Yes, my mother has hired more than 20 women, and they can make a basket in two minutes."

"That's good!" Li Changle handed him the bucket. "Adong's money has been paid, but Uncle Kun's money for the hairtail fish is still unpaid. I'll pay it back when I go to the shop tomorrow morning."

"Great!" Li Erge whispered, "Awei said it was the first time he saw so many brand new banknotes. He didn't even feel hungry after holding them in his arms."

Li Changle winked at him, "Now there are two big bags, do you want to hold one too?"

"Come on, I'll give you a hug too!"

The two brothers went to the cabin. Li Changle opened the door and pulled out a bucket from under the bed. He took out two large bags of banknotes. "It's more than 30,000 in total. The hairtail can be sold for at least 2,000."

Brother Li picked up a bunch of money excitedly and put it to his nose to smell it. "It's all brand new Great Unity, and it smells like money!"

"Hehe, it really smells like money!" Li Changle handed him the bag of money. "Here, I'll give it to you. Remember its smell and bring back more later."

"You want a beating, right?" Li Erge waved his fist at him. Li Changle pretended to be terribly scared and said, "I was wrong... I won't dare to do it next time."

"You're smart!" Brother Li smiled and stuffed the money into his arms. "Forget it, you carry it. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk if I carry so much money. I'll go move those stones."

Li Changle couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "Okay, you take a bucket to collect the stones, and I'll carry the money."

"Hey, hey!" Brother Li picked up the bucket and ran happily towards the cab.

Li Changle stuffed the money back into the bucket, picked up the bucket containing seahorses and sea cucumbers, walked to the cab, and saw Brother Li holding the lavender stone and looking at it curiously.

"Ah Le, these stones really look better and better the more you look at them. How much do you think they can be sold for?"

"It's definitely worth more than the two bags I sold today."

"Ah!" Brother Li's hand flashed and the stone in his hand almost fell to the ground. Li Changle hurried forward to catch it, so it did not fall to the ground.

Brother Li put the stones in the rubber bucket and said, "You little brat, you scared me. How can a few stones be worth tens of thousands of dollars?"

"Brother, let's take our little one with us to Lucheng this time. We'll go to Boss Li's place and make a bracelet for my mother, sister-in-law, Anan, and my mother-in-law. Then you'll know whether this thing is valuable or not!"

Brother Li hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Ah Le, you said it's worth a lot of money. What if Boss Li asks us where we got it?"

Li Changle shrugged. "What else can I say? Just say it was dragged up when the net was being hauled!"

"He wants to ask us where we are and what we are doing?"

"It takes two or three hours to catch a fish. How do we know where it was pulled from?" Li Changle thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "I have to tell my father, my eldest brother and Awei when I get back. Don't let anything slip when the time comes."

"You have to be careful!" Brother Li turned his head to look at the stones again and shook his head, "I never dreamed that a few stones would be more valuable than those two bags."

"Gold has a price, but jade is priceless. It's also said in operas! Look at those young masters in distress in the operas. A jade pendant can be exchanged for a lot of silver. Do you think it is made up without any basis?"

"I've heard it, but I don't know if it's true! Think about it, we've only had enough food for two years, and we only had white rice every day after we got on the ship as helpers."

Brother Li thought about the present life and looked at him gratefully. "It is because of the money you have earned for us in the past two months that we don't add much grain when cooking. We have meat every now and then."

Li Changle scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother, I am the one who made the money with you. It's a brotherhood to fight a tiger in the mountains. Without you, I would be exhausted by myself and still not be able to earn this much."

After hearing this, Brother Li thought of his previous attitude towards him and looked at him guiltily, "Ah Le, Brother Li used to look down on you for holding the family back and often looked down on you and scolded you. In this respect, you are really not as good as Brother Li!"

"Fuck!" Li Changle rubbed his arms. "Why are you guys saying such disgusting things? I'm almost catching a cold."

Brother Li raised his hand and gave him a slap. "Who are you talking to while you're eating firewood?"

"Hehe!" Li Changle apologized with a smile, "It was a slip of the tongue, haha!"
