Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 100 Black Pearl

On the way back, they met people from the fishing village. When they saw Tang Qiyue, they rushed over and surrounded her.

Xiaoyang was frightened and instinctively opened his arms to protect Tang Qiyue.

"Fellow villagers, what is this for?"

Tang Qiyue was also confused and didn't understand what had happened that caused the people in the fishing village to surround her.

And the people surrounding her were all women, and each of them had a strange expression on their face.

"Are you the person that Shanhu mentioned was blessed by the Sea Goddess?"

When someone saw Tang Qiyue's defensive look, they realized that their behavior was a bit extreme, and quickly pushed a woman out to communicate with Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue looked confused.

She didn't understand.

But hearing the name of Coral, I felt a little more relieved.

As long as it wasn't causing trouble, she could handle it.

Xiaoyang played a key role at this time. Although he was young, he was from the fishing village and a smart boy.

"Sisters, what on earth do you want to do? Sister Qiyue is frightened by you. It's not even time to worship the Sea Goddess yet, how can there be a lucky person who is blessed?"

Xiaoyang's words reminded the women. They rubbed their hands and someone pulled Xiaoyang aside and talked to him in a low voice.

Xiao Yang figured out what happened, and then explained to Tang Qiyue: "Sister Qiyue, they came to you because they heard from Sister Shanhu that you can open the golden beads!"

This was something Tang Qiyue had not expected.

Fortunately, she could see that these women had no ill intentions.

"They want you to help them open the sea pearls, and they want to take advantage of your good luck!"

Xiaoyang pulled Tang Qiyue's arm and leaned over to explain in her ear.

At this moment, Tang Qiyue was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The last time I helped Coral get golden beads, that was purely an accident, and what I got later were just ordinary pearls. I really didn’t have any luck like being blessed by the Goddess of the Sea.

But when she explained to these women, they didn't believe her at all.

I think Tang Qiyue has golden hands and will definitely be able to produce sea pearls of different colors.

Several mermaids would not let Tang Qiyue leave, and even said that if she could find any colorful sea pearls, they would give Tang Qiyue half of them as a reward.

Tang Qiuyue had no intention of getting entangled with these mermaids and just wanted to leave.

Unfortunately, the other party did not intercept them violently, but instead looked pleading, leaving Tang Qiyue helpless. The noise they made also attracted some elderly people from the fishing village.

When Shanhu heard the noise, she ran over from home and saw Tang Qiyue being surrounded. She also understood why the female divers were so eager to get some luck. To put it bluntly, it was the middle of the year, and it was time for the female divers in the fishing village to pay offerings to the village.

If we can get some colorful sea pearls, the pressure in the second half of the year will be much less.

Even if it is not a different colored sea pearl, as long as it is big enough, it will be fine.

"Sister Qiyue, don't feel any psychological burden. They are not unreasonable. They all know that even if they can't get the car, it has nothing to do with you. They are just trying to get lucky!"

After Coral finished speaking, the female divers nodded one after another.

They just want a little more luck, they don't necessarily want Tang Qiyue to open something good.

After all, she was soft-hearted and Tang Qiyue agreed to help open the sea pearl, but she would not ask for their compensation. She also repeatedly emphasized that she was really not blessed by the Goddess of the Sea and she should not hold out hope.

The female divers asked Shanhu to keep Tang Qiyue, and they all ran home to take out the shells they had brought with them.

Tang Qiyue looked at the pile of shells in front of each person and felt that if they couldn't open them all today, they would definitely not be able to leave.

Seeing that Xiaoyang was still wet, she said to him, "Xiaoyang, go back and change your clothes first. When I'm done here, I'll take you back to get food. How about that?"

Xiaoyang immediately said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'll catch some sea fish tomorrow and bring it to you, just take it together!" Anyway, he trusted Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue thought about it and decided it was a good idea, so she gave Xiaoyang another handful of candy and asked him to take it back for his sister.

Xiaoyang placed the small bamboo basket at Tang Qiyue's feet and ran home under the envious gaze of the other children.

At this time, a pry tool was stuffed into Tang Qiyue's hand, and someone handed her a stool to sit on and drive slowly.

At this point, there was no way Tang Qiyue could refuse.

I sat down resignedly and started opening the shells.

Except for Coral, Tang Qiuyue was not familiar with the other female divers, so she simply started from the side.

With Shanhu introducing her, Tang Qiyue became somewhat familiar to the crowd.

Naturally, the first shell did not produce any colorful sea pearls. This was within Tang Qiyue's expectations. She was very calm, but she didn't know that the female divers were so nervous.

Everyone was staring at Tang Qiyue's hand, holding on to the opportunity to get rich quickly.

I opened three shells in a row but didn't get any good pearls. Fortunately, the white pearls that came out were also very round. Although not perfect, they could still be sold.

"Don't be so nervous. The way you usually bloom is probably what I bloomed. I really haven't been blessed by the Sea Goddess..."

Before Tang Qiyue could finish her words, she heard a scream from the mermaid beside her.

Because it was too close to her ear, no matter how calm Tang Qiyue was, she was frightened and almost threw the pry tool away.

But when she looked down at the shell in her hand, she was stunned.

As she cut open the bulges, the pearls that came out were actually black.

Although it is not golden, it is so black and full that it is definitely rare.

Tang Qiyue even wanted to throw away the sea pearl in her hand.

If a different colored sea pearl really opens, what should we do if we can’t open any more later?

She was thinking too much, but she didn't notice that the mermaid next to her knelt down in front of her and kowtowed three times without giving Tang Qiyue a chance to stop her.

"Thank you, thank you very much!"

The mermaid was crying so hard that Tang Qiyue was at a loss as to what to do. She hurriedly worked with Shanhu to pull the man up.

The female diver did not insist and stood up with their help.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Qiyue. She is just too happy. Her family relies on her to go to the sea to collect sea pearls. She hasn't handed in a qualified sea pearl for a year. If she fails to hand in one again, she will leave the island and get married!"

Shanhu explained the whole story to Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue was surprised: "Isn't it good to get married?"

Shanhu shook her head: "It's very difficult for a mermaid to get married, because we have been in the water since we were young, which hurts our bodies to some extent, and it is difficult to have children. Generally, those who can get married have to serve the whole family of the husband's family!"

This is still a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, the mermaids get married because they have been drained of their value and abandoned by their natal family. In the end, they have to pay a sum of money to marry them off. Most of their husbands are widowers with children. These people are not looking for a wife at all, they are just looking for a nanny to serve the whole family.

Tang Qiyue also remained silent after hearing this.

She had fertility pills, so she didn't really worry about fertility issues, but she couldn't help these mermaids.

After all, the fertile female divers cannot escape the oppression of their natal and in-laws.

"What if the Ama can give birth to a child?"

Tang Qiyue couldn't help but ask.

"Boys are fine, but girls still have to be divers!"
