Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 17 She's Your Wife Anyway

Shi Xia and the other two rowed the boat home.

On the small fishing boat, Shi Xia sat in the front, Wen Laoshi rowed the boat in the middle, and Wen Chengan sat in the back.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh. A few seagulls were circling in the sky. The sea surface was like a huge sapphire, sparkling in the sunlight.

The sea breeze blew over with a salty and humid smell, making the already wet hair stick even more to the scalp.

Shi Xia stroked her wet hair, twisted it hard while sitting by the boat, and looked sideways at Wen Laoshi who was rowing and setting sail.

"Uncle Wen, let me help you."

"No need, you've already gone into the sea, how can you still have the energy?"

After Wen Laoshi finished speaking, he looked at Wen Chengan who was sitting at the back of the boat.

"Cheng'an, just help me."

Wen Laoshi ignored Wen Cheng'an's stunned expression and asked, "You're a grown man, but you're not as strong as Shi Xia?"

Wen Cheng'an: I really don’t have that.

But he didn't dare to say it, because no one would believe him even if he did.

Wen Cheng'an finally got up obediently and helped Wen Laoshi with his work.

"Let me tell you, there are many ways to go to sea. It's not enough to just have a boat."

"It depends on the weather. I always check the boat before setting off..."

"The mainsail angles are different when downwind, intowind, and crosswind..."

Wen Laoshi's voice was as loud as a bell as he passed on his experience, and he was afraid that Wen Cheng'an couldn't hear clearly.

Wen Cheng'an, who was standing aside, felt a little awkward, uncomfortable and listened stubbornly.

Shi Xia chuckled: What an awkward yet somewhat cute father and son.

The three people's fishing boat did not go far, so they soon returned to the beach.

Shi Xia jumped easily, dropped anchor, then pulled the reins to the seashore and tied them tightly.

After tying it up, Shi Xia walked towards the boat and carried the bag of sea cucumbers.

"Too heavy—let Wen Chengan—"

Wen said half of the truth and watched Shi Xia easily lift the hundred-pound bag. With a backhand, the wet bag fell on her shoulder.

Wen Cheng'an, who was "highly regarded" by him, was struggling to move another bag of sea cucumbers. He leaned back, twisted his body, and even raised his eyebrows, but the bag of sea cucumbers moved less than three millimeters.

Wen Laoshi: This world has finally gone crazy.

In the end, Wen Laoshi couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Wen Cheng'an away.

"You should just...play with the dirt."

After saying this, Wen Laoshi moved the sea cucumber bag with force, preparing to drag it off the boat.

"Uncle Wen, I'm coming!"

Shi Xia came again, pulled with one hand, and the bag was pulled off the boat in a flash.

The next second, Shi Xia walked away with the bag in one hand.

Seeing this, Wen Chengan looked at Wen Laoshi with a smile and said, "Next time we go to play with dirt, I'll take you with me."

Wen Laoshi glanced at Wen Chengan and showed his signature honest smile.

"After all, she's your future daughter-in-law, and I'm not the one getting beaten."

Wen Chengan: “…”

The three of them got off the boat. Wen Laoshi did not ask why Shi Xia was so strong, but said:

"Shi Xia, there's no ferry today. Wait until the fishing team comes back, then borrow a boat to sell the sea cucumbers on land. They won't keep well in the sun and will melt."

Shi Xia turned around and said, "No, we won't sell it. We'll dry it ourselves."

Wen Laoshi reacted for a few seconds and slapped his thigh.

“Dry it well!”

"Fresh ones are not worth much. This stuff is cheap to keep but can't be sold at a high price."

Shi Xia nodded.

Sea cucumbers are valuable in modern times, but they are not durable and turn into water when exposed to heat, so they must be processed before preservation.

Nowadays, most people sell dried sea cucumbers and soak them for consumption.

Now all she has to do is dry it for easy storage and then sell it.

But the only inconvenience is the collective system.

The islanders don’t care at all when they go to the sea or catch a little fish.

But who wouldn’t be jealous of the huge catch of fish, something that can be seen with the naked eye and can make money?

Considering the situation in the next ten years, if you want to live a good life, you still have to take control of the rear.

Shi Xia is not very ambitious and simply wants to enjoy life.

Shi Xia thought about it and carried the bag on his back. Wen Laoshi and Wen Chengan carried the other bag, and the three of them returned to Shi Xia's courtyard.

The big white goose came over when it heard the door open, stretching its neck to stare at Wen Laoshi and Wen Chengan who went in first. There was also a spotted hen next to it, staring at them with a "chicken" look.

"Oh, am I surrounded?"

Wen Chengan looked at the chicken and goose curiously and said with a smile, "I've heard of geese guarding the house, but this is the first time I've seen a hen guarding the house."

Shi Xia pushed Wen Chengan away.

"Be careful, my little Hua is very smart and will take revenge on you one day."

"hehe…."

Wen Cheng'an smiled falsely, he didn't believe it.

Shi Xia pushed Wen Chengan away and put down the sack sideways.

Her outer clothes were fishy and wet, and she had another set of clothes underneath so that she wouldn't be so conspicuous when she came up from the sea.

This is another reason why women don’t go to sea, as it is inconvenient to wear.

"Uncle Wen, you guys deal with it first. I'll go find the village chief."

"Looking for the village chief?"

Wen Laoshi came over and asked quietly, "Do you want to hand it in?"

"Correct."

Shi Xia nodded and said with a calm smile, "There's too much food. It's not good for us to eat it all by ourselves. Sooner or later, there will be complaints."

"It's better to take it out at the beginning."

Of course, Shi Xia would not work in vain.

Wen Laoshi listened and nodded.

"That's right. If you want something nice next time, hide it secretly and bring it back at night. It's not a good idea to bring it back openly this time."

"Well, I'll go first."

Shi Xia turned around and patted the big white goose on the head. The big white goose rubbed its head gently against the palm of Shi Xia's hand, and its quacking became gentle.

"They are working in the yard, so they can stay here and continue to watch over the house."

"Ga—"

The big white goose nodded!

Wen Cheng'an was stunned. After Shi Xia walked out of the door, he approached her with a teasing look.

"So clever—come here, let me—oh hey hey—how come you still have two faces!"

“Quack—quack—”

The big white goose cackled loudly and chased Wen Chengan.

Wen Laoshi opened the bag of sea cucumbers, moved them to a cool place, and said with disdain, "Serves you right!"

"Dabai, let him work. Your master still relies on these to make money."

The big white goose stopped and Wen Cheng'an was surprised.

Can you really understand what people say?
How was this training done? Could it be the same as training him?

The next second, Wen Cheng'an looked at the big white goose with a sense of shared fate.

The big white goose looked at Wen Cheng'an and silently took a few steps back, as if it wanted to stay away from him.

Wen Chengan: Is he disliked by the goose?

The big white goose stood with its neck straight, watching the father and son of the Wen family working with scissors.

Wen Cheng'an just laughed dryly.

Where can I seek justice? Big white goose supervisor?
While the father and son continued to work, Shi Xia went to the place where they were working and found the village chief, Uncle Cao.

"Uncle Cao—"

Shi Xia rushed over to Uncle Cao. Uncle Cao saw Shi Xia was covered in seawater and frowned, saying, "Change your clothes before coming back. It's so uncomfortable."

"Nothing, I caught some sea cucumbers and wanted to talk to you about it."

"Just a few sea cucumbers, eat them yourself!"

Uncle Cao waved his hand nonchalantly. Shi Xia leaned closer and said, "Uncle Cao, it's about four or five hundred kilograms."

"how is this possible?"

Uncle Cao tilted his head and Shi Xia nodded.

After Uncle Cao confirmed it, he also thought of drying it.

"You want to hand it in?"

Shi Xia smiled and said, "Of course! I am a member of our island, and Uncle Cao will definitely not treat me unfairly."

Uncle Cao: I only believe half of what you said.
