Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 133 The Outrage of Xu Village

After leaving the frozen street, it was already around nine forty or nine fifty. Qin Dahe was thinking about going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books, so he was not in a hurry to go back.

"Brother, here you go." The kid took out two hundred yuan and handed it to him.

"Let's go online and fight together. You pay." The kid spoke incoherently, but Qin Dahe understood and accepted the money.

"We brothers don't need to worry too much about the money. We have a long life ahead of us. You haven't even found a wife yet." He smiled and told the child about his mother's morning arrangements, and the child nodded quickly.

He definitely wanted to have a wife. He finally understood the hardship of living alone. It was completely different when he had his grandmother.

It was a bit far from the Frozen Street to the Pedestrian Street. Qin Dahe had 200 yuan in his hand and was not stingy. He just ordered a toothbrush and went there. When he saw the bookstall on Zhonghe Road, he quickly stopped the car.

The bookstalls nowadays really have a good supply of books, and you can see all kinds of banned books.

The two got out of the car and started to squeeze in to look for it because there were quite a lot of people nearby.

The pedestrian street in this era had the highest traffic volume, with a daily flow of more than 300,000 people. Even the Zhonghe Road next door was crowded.

After entering, Qin Dahe asked the child to find more books about fish.

When he saw some militia training manuals and other things, he curled his lips and said, "There are a lot of them at home. My dad likes to deal with these things."

He found a book on aquaculture, but found that it was full of clichés, so he gave up. Xinhua Bookstore has many practical books on aquaculture, which are much better than these junk.

"Brother, this." The silly kid handed over a book excitedly.

All I saw was a thick book with a worn cover that said: "Fishing Questions and Answers."

He immediately became interested and opened the catalog to look at the introduction of fish structure, how to judge the age of fish, and how to confirm the number of fish and what kind of fish they are by the smell of fish (bubbles emitted by fish in the water).

It even contains a series of knowledge about explosive hooks, silver carp and bighead carp bait making, float making, how to tie hooks, etc.

He really didn't expect that people in China had been playing with these things for a long time. It was simply outrageous.

At the end, it also reminds fishermen to remember to write fishing notes, how to write, what to write, and to review them from time to time after writing.

Qin Dahe was overjoyed and asked the price immediately.

"Four yuan per pound, that's the price." The boss said impatiently. With so many people around, it was impossible for him to calculate the price of each one individually.

Qin Dahe chuckled and thought, what a bargain! He started looking through other things and found some martial arts novels to put in there.

The silly kid followed suit and bought a few comic books, but he knew very few words.

It seems that these small comic books will be valuable in the future. I wonder if it is this one.

All the books together only cost eight yuan, so Qin Dahe went to look for the discs next to him.

"Boss, how much are the movies?"

"Eight cents, I can't guarantee that I can see it clearly."

"Take five." He casually picked up five discs with colorful images, the pictures were very stimulating.

We don’t have a VCD at home yet, but he will definitely have one when he gets married, and he can take it out to liven up the atmosphere on his wedding night.

The silly kid's ears turned red when he saw this. Why is his elder brother still looking at these things?

After paying, walk a short distance through the alley and you will find the Xinhua Bookstore, which has the best location on the pedestrian street.

All Xinhua Bookstores across the country are the same. Wherever there is a Xinhua Bookstore, it is the best shop in the city center.

He let Silly Kid wait downstairs with the book while Qin Dahe went upstairs to buy the book alone. After all, it would be difficult to explain if he brought the book in by himself.

I found the area where the agricultural and forestry technology was located, and after asking the people around me, I found the target I needed.

"A Brief Discussion on Freshwater Aquaculture in the Yangtze River System"

"Cultivation techniques for crucian carp, black carp, silver carp and bighead carp"

"Compendium of Aquaculture Diseases"

"Encyclopedia of Freshwater Fishes"

Four books, fifty-five dollars, very expensive, but he bought them without blinking an eye.

After figuring these things out, I will contract the big lake and do it myself.

After choosing the books, he thought that it would be difficult to make money during the New Year, so he went to buy some envelopes and exercise books.

Those magazines were promoting Western society every day, so he helped to promote it. He also planned to make up some outrageous stories so that others could take them out and publicly punish them later.

The royalties for a piece of tofu are at least a few hundred yuan. Just copy the articles that some bloggers in later generations used to punish them.

Things like "I have a friend in Sweden" and "My parents came to the Lighthouse Country" are all fine. If you write more and send it out, you can earn a few hundred dollars if it is recorded.

Thinking of the execution scene in the future, he chuckled.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. It was cold and there was no work in the fields. The card halls would not open until the afternoon. Taking advantage of the fact that there were many people around, he asked his mother to take his aunt and others to Xu Village to stop the people, and then called his brothers to go directly to Xiao Xiang's house in Xu Village.

"Cena, Xiao Xiang, get out here. You've stolen the net so many times. Why are you still doing it in such a cold weather?"

This time, Qin Dahe took the lead in cursing, which scared everyone in the house out.

"How dare you come to my doorstep and curse people?" Xiao Xiang's mother rolled up her sleeves and prepared to come out and beat him.

"Are all the men in your Xiang family dead? Let a woman take the lead." As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room came out.

The Xiang family father and son were in the wrong, and seeing how they looked like they couldn't beat the four young men, they didn't dare to step forward.

Just as Xiang's mother was about to beat him, she was held back by Erhu and Hanwaer. Both of them were very strong and immediately surrendered.

"Damn it! I'm going to report this to the brigade headquarters. And they're bullying me at my house."

"Cena, I told you to sue. The village director will be here soon." Qin Dahe turned to look at the Xiang family father and son: "Are you men too cowardly? You dare to steal the net but not come up, right?"

At this time, the surrounding neighbors were also alarmed and marveled at the scene, but no one came to help.

"Qin family kid, if you keep doing this you'll make enemies?" Xiang's father looked at him fiercely.

Qin Dahe dodged and kicked the man down. Xiao Xiang didn't dare to step forward because he had been beaten last night.

"*****, why didn't you mention the enmity when you stole the nets? Not only did you steal more than a dozen of them, but you also threw the nets into the river. You're such a lousy person."

After a scolding, people around him also started pointing fingers and criticizing, which showed that the way things were done was not done properly.

"If you want to steal nets, then steal them. And you stole more than ten of them. Do you really expect to get rich by stealing?"

"Really? Their family has brought shame to Xu Village."

"They also throw nets. Last time a ground trap was stolen from me, I think it was his family who did it."

"You said you stole it, so you stole it. Show me the evidence, otherwise I'll kill you." Xiang's mother kept swearing, and Qin Dahe just thought she was talking nonsense.

It is definitely not okay to hit a woman. Xiang’s grandparents live far away, and there is nothing he can do if they come and make a scene.

But today, it wasn't just the four brothers who were out there. Qin's mother and second aunt were waiting on the other side, and when the old lady came out, they stopped her. "Haha, who do you think beat up your son? I was waiting on the main road at three in the morning last night. This guy was sneaking all the way from Xu Village to Lige Village, and I don't know how many people he messed with."

"Hey, my dear, it's your cousin Sensheng who came here to steal the nets. I was wondering why the three nets are gone." An old man in his sixties stood up.

He shouted towards the house behind him: "Boss, come here."

A middle-aged man in his forties came out of the room, and a young man who was watching the fun stood behind him.

"It was his family who stole my internet. I've suspected it for a long time. If he doesn't give me an explanation today, help me break his legs."

The two men nodded immediately. If people from the same village also steal, the Xiang family must not want to live anymore.

At this time, the village director and the party secretary came rushing over and glared at the Xiang family first.

This family makes trouble every now and then, and they are never right, but they never get tired of it.

"Qin Dahe, why did you call us here?"

"In recent years, whenever my family sets down their nets in the Yuxi River, they will be stolen. It used to be a small amount, but in October, four or five fish were stolen at a time. Last time, eleven were stolen." He said angrily.

"Silly boy is living alone now, it's so hard. His hooks and shrimp cages were stolen, and his hooks were thrown into the river."

"At three in the morning last night."

Qin Dahe carefully recounted what happened last night, specifying the time and place.

The old man spoke up at this time. "Prongs, if this doesn't work out, I'll call my three sons and grandsons over. My nets have all been thrown into the river."

The old man spoke in a cold tone, but the fierceness in his eyes made the village director's eyelids jump.

"Uncle, don't be angry, I'll handle it." After comforting his uncle, the village director looked at the Xiang father and son with unfriendly eyes.

"Is it real?"

"Bullshit." Xiao Xiang's mother was about to curse, but the village party secretary glared at her and she dared not speak anymore.

Although the branch secretary is a civilian, he has come back from the battlefield. Who wouldn't be afraid?

The father and son wanted to argue, but they didn't dare. Old Man Xu had threatened them, and admitting defeat at this time would solve the problem.

They were clear-headed and knew who they could offend. No matter how powerful the Qin family was, they could only beat them up more. Old man Xu was just a neighbor, and if he was really angry, he could kill his whole family.

"He only stole it once last night. I will definitely make him change next time." Xiang's father said with a smile.

"Just once. Last time, he went to my third uncle's pond to steal herring and was caught on the spot. Tell me the truth." Qin Dahe became angry when he looked at the father and son.

At this time, he no longer minded people knowing that he had beaten someone at night. Now the Xiang family was like a rat.

"Really? I haven't done it many times. My kid just likes to play. How could he..."

"Playful, who's so playful as to steal a net in the middle of the night in sub-zero temperatures?"

There was a moment of silence and everyone laughed.

"What a talent! In sub-zero temperatures, you steal the net in the middle of the night. Your Xiang family must be desperate for money."

"Yeah, I held my pee for a long time in the middle of the night before I got up."

The village director and the party secretary also smiled bitterly with helplessness. They didn't have any good way to deal with such people in the village, so they could only punish them slightly.

The villages here are inhabited by people of various surnames and there is no ancestral hall, unlike Chenwan where there are clan rules to restrain everyone.

"Qin Dahe, Master Chen, what do you think we should do?" Since they have admitted it, it's easy to talk about it. Let the parties involved decide.

"I don't care about anything else. Next time I catch him, I will break all three of his legs. His family is not allowed to report to the town hall." Qin Dahe said fiercely.

This was bullshit, he wouldn't risk going to jail for a few fishing nets, but seeing his expression, others believed him.

"Three Legs is going to wipe out the Xiang family."

Xiang's father and mother's faces changed. They said, "Just beat him as you please. Life will be impossible if he is really castrated."

"How can it be so cruel?"

"Isn't it okay if you don't steal the net?" Qin Dahe said easily, and started distributing cigarettes with Shuangxi, giving one to anyone who came.

He also wants to stand up today, so how can he do that without showing his strength?

"I'll be going down to the big locust tree on the county road right now. I'll do the same to anyone I catch in the middle of the night. You guys are talking."

"This is illegal. Why are you so angry, young man?" The branch secretary took the cigarette and patted Qin Dahe on the shoulder.

He took the opportunity to help the branch secretary light his cigarette. The branch secretary of Xu Village was very powerful, and even his own father would not offend him easily, so how could he dare to be presumptuous?

"Grandpa, what if his family still steals in the future? Anyway, even if I get beaten for stealing, the town hall won't arrest me." Qin Dahe said as a matter of course.

It’s not that the town office won’t arrest him, but he will be fine until the matter reaches the county.

The case was going to be taken to court. Since the Yuxi River was not contracted by his family, there was no reason for him to hit anyone and he would definitely go to jail. However, no one present considered this issue.

Everyone has become accustomed to the fact that whoever logs on the website owns the goods.

Old man Chen looked at Qin Dahe with some surprise. He didn't expect that the boy from the Qin family was also such a ruthless person.

"That's right, next time we catch him, we'll just cripple him. Xiao Qin, don't do anything. I'll just leave him at my doorstep. I don't believe the labor camp will take me in."

He is already very old, and the court will not sentence him to such a thing. It will be even more troublesome if something happens to him in jail.

"Xiao Xiang, you stand up first." The branch secretary took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth.

The fork is still a little tender and can't control the situation.

When Xiao Xiang stood in front of him, he suddenly kicked him and sent him flying, hitting the door hard, which made Qin Dahe's eyelids twitch.

Even my dad has practiced martial arts for so many years, but he can’t do this. He kicked an adult man half a meter into the air.

Not to mention half a meter, even flying in the air is difficult. Xiao Xiang must weigh at least 130 to 140 kilograms.

Xiang's father and mother hurried forward to check and found that their son's mouth was foaming with blood.

However, the person they kicked was the branch secretary, so they didn't dare to curse him. The branch secretary had killed people before, and not just on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, I'll hold back. You'll have to lie down for half a month at most." The branch secretary said disdainfully.

Ce, the old soldier is really fierce, he is even holding back. Qin Dahe thought guiltily that even if he and his father were tied together, we still couldn't beat him.

"If you steal again next time, I will personally kill this kid. At worst, I will quit as the branch secretary. If he continues like this, the people in the village won't be able to hold their heads up when they go out." The branch secretary said hatefully.

This family always caused some trouble every year, and at one point they even called in people from the town hall.

He was annoyed by being lectured by the younger generations. The branch secretary still needed to strengthen ideological construction. With such a bunch of bad apples in the village, how could he get away with it?

"Okay, I promise on his behalf that I will definitely quit. Secretary, please calm down." Xiang's father didn't care about his son and hurried over to apologize.
