Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 6: Making money, being relied on
Tan Shaoyang laughed and said, "Brother, this is just a lucky coincidence. It's hard to find such a thing by chance. How can you just stumble upon a fish in the deep sea?"

"It just means that we are destined to be together. I am not going anywhere else but to come to you."

"Brother is a straightforward person. He came to you for good stuff. Such a big grouper will definitely be a great feast."

"We won't waste your time. This thing relies on seawater. It will die without seawater. You should get busy!"

The boss did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked the customer to come and see the goods. If the customer died, all the money he had earned would be wasted.

Tan Shaoyang and the other two left and walked back.

The ticket was one dollar per person, and three dollars for three people. The eldest and the second brother each held one of Tan Shaoyang's arms and dragged him away.

"What car should we take? We will be there soon after chatting all the way. We can buy several kilograms of pork with this money. We might as well save it for meat!"

The two brothers talked back and forth, not giving Tan Shaoyang a chance to refute, and just pushed the cart on the road.

Tan Shaoyang: “…” Just go, the minority obeys the majority, how can a grown man not have the strength to walk.

When we got to the town, the three of us decided to buy three pounds of pork at 3 cents a pound, which comes to 9 yuan. To make it even, we also ordered some spare ribs, which were cleaned very well, so it was considered a free gift.

There is no shortage of seafood at the seaside, but it is rare to eat pork. I choose the fattest ones. When I finally get to eat it, I make sure to eat it until my mouth is full of oil.

As soon as I returned to the small fishing village, I heard discussions from a distance.

It was seen by villagers earlier, and the news must have spread throughout the village. They are waiting here to ask about the price!
Tan Shaoyang warned, "Big brother, our fish are sold for 7 cents per pound, don't show all the bottom, it will make people look down on you."

Even if it's 7 cents per pound, it's still a high price during this period.

According to the market price, it can be sold for 5 to 6 cents per pound at most, which is considered the highest price.

It can only be sold at a high price of 1 yuan if it is sold in the county town and there happens to be a big boss who has ordered a banquet for him. And since it is a rare deep-sea fish like grouper, it can be sold at a high price of 2 yuan.

The two brothers nodded. If the third brother hadn’t reminded them, they would not have thought of this!

As expected, he was surrounded as soon as he appeared.

Another high price of 35 yuan, which makes people's eyes red with envy. If they knew that it was actually sold for 60 yuan, they would probably not even want to chat.

Everyone ran back home in frustration and hid.

Tan Shaoyang was not in a hurry to go home. He handed the pork to the eldest brother, found a place to sit down, took out a pack of tobacco and placed it aside for everyone to roll.

"Uncle, you're welcome. Roll a cigarette to relieve your craving."

The villagers joked as they tried to make it, "Tan Laosan, you've made so much money, but you're still smoking tobacco. You thought you could get a good cigarette!"

Tan Shaoyang sat lazily under the coconut tree, feeling the sea breeze, with red bloodshot eyes, and almost drowsy.

"I do want to buy it, but I'm afraid my mom will beat me if I take it home. I'll just have to make do with the tobacco and don't worry about anything else."

"I haven't found a partner at my age yet, and my mother is very annoyed. I dare not offend her, because she will hit me with a shoe, and it will hurt a lot."

The topic was diverted by his playful joking. Conditions in the village were such that it was just a joke and no one would really take it to heart.

Putting this aside, he was still thinking about the grouper they caught, and asked eagerly, "How did you think there was a grouper there when you were awake so late at night?"

Tan Shaoyang had something to brag about, "This story all started when my mother asked a matchmaker to find me a date. The matchmaking didn't work out and I made her angry, so I thought of using a golden egg to cook porridge to appease her." "Who knew that the Dragon Pearl would appear."

"I made money, my mom was happy, and she didn't care if I slept at home, so I ended up sleeping like a log."

"I slept enough during the day, but couldn't fall asleep at night, so I went to the beach to wander around. Who knew I would hear the sound of fish jumping while walking."

"When I looked over, I saw a huge grouper. I was shocked! After I looked closely, I hurried home and pulled the first and second fish over."

"I guess our family is poor, so our ancestors showed up and said that everything is destined, so we can make a little money."

Tan Shaoyang yawned frequently as he spoke, "I can't stand it anymore, let's share these tobaccos among ourselves! I have to go back and catch up on some sleep, I'm really exhausted."

I am envious, but not to the point of jealousy. I will just smoke a few more cigarettes and taste a little sweetness, and the matter will pass.

Tan Shaoyang returned home, took a shower and fell asleep.

I woke up in the afternoon. I was still dazed when I sat up. I raised my hand and rubbed my hair. I was almost sleepy and I was afraid I would not sleep well again tonight.

As soon as Tan Shaoyang got up, the door opened with a bang. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the extremely ferocious mute girl in his previous life.

This girl is not only mute, but also has a slow brain and is easily ordered around. She must have been instigated by someone to come here now.

The mute girl was from the neighboring village. She came here with her father to collect fish. She might have been fooled by the matchmaker, thinking that he was handsome, but after marriage he was a lazy person, so she exploded.

Things were thrown and made crackling noises, but he didn't care at all.

The house was turned upside down. The eldest sister-in-law could still tolerate it, but the second sister-in-law started several fights and even smashed the pots and pans.

In the previous life, that kind of life lasted until the separation, and even the feelings between the brothers were destroyed.

There were no divorces at that time, and divorce would easily lead to criticism from others, so we just lived our lives in a daze.

There has not been a single peaceful day in my life, and my head often hurts from all the noise.

He would never get involved with anyone in this life, and it would be best to avoid them if possible. He didn't want to be tortured by anyone again.

The mute girl kept moaning, and others couldn't understand her, but Tan Shaoyang knew what she wanted to express. It was simply that she saw that he could make money and was fooled, so she was willing to hold the banquet as soon as possible.

Tan Shaoyang will never touch this hot potato again. He can make money because God takes pity on him and gives him a chance to start over.

He won't be so foolish as to let others scheme against him again.

"Who are you? Why are you coming to my house? Are you trying to get away with it just because you saw we made some money?"

The girl that Tan Shaoyang had been dating earlier was the daughter of a matchmaker, who was very pretty. The matchmaker had been able to arrange many marriages thanks to her daughter.

It turned out that judging the person was one thing, and getting married was another. She switched the boy for the girl.

Her daughter wants to marry someone from the town, and no one in the village can match her. The matchmaker doesn't think highly of her either, so she just wants to act as a matchmaker and make some money.

So when the mute girl came to make trouble, he was not afraid at all.

After all, the two of them had never officially dated, so he could hold his own wherever they talked.
