A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 173

"It's only because Jiaojiao has a good relationship with those orcas that you were lucky to run into them today. If you hadn't encountered the sardine shoals and Jiaojiao hadn't been with you, the norm for those who go out to sea every day would only earn a few dozen or a hundred yuan. And going out to sea depends on the weather; the weather is only good for about half the month..."

Shen Yunlian was also afraid that her two nephews would be blinded by the money, so she explained the pros and cons to them.

As they listened, the Shen brothers calmed down.

Yunlin Hai was also very direct: "If you like going out to sea and fishing, I, as your uncle, can occasionally take you to experience it. But you can't make a lot of money by fishing all your life, unless you are exceptionally good at sea transport."

"If you can go to school, get into university, and ideally have a stable, government-funded job, that would be best. But if that's not possible, and you don't mind the hard work, I, your uncle, would welcome you."

Shen Xiuyuan: "Then I'll come again next time. Uncle, please don't mind."

Anyway, so far, his first time at sea has been a great experience. He had a good harvest and it was exciting. He feels like he has broadened his horizons.

Yun Linhai patted his shoulder, which pulled on his arm muscle, causing his mouth to twitch in pain.

"Okay, next time you come, I'll take you to the island to go beachcombing."

Before distributing the money, Grandpa Yun took out two ten-yuan bills and gave one to each of Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan.

This was something that Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He had discussed with him before.

"Grandpa Yun, why are you giving us money?"

Shen Kuan and the others did not want to accept it.

"Take it."

Yun Linhai said, "You two have been a great help today, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to bring up so many fish."

"Ten yuan per person, don't think it's too little."

Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan quickly shook their heads, saying that they would never complain about the amount being too little.

They don't earn much income at home, and even Shen Kuan doesn't have much money in his pocket.

I earned ten yuan that day; it felt like a dream.

After refusing several times, the Shen brothers finally accepted the money, their faces flushed.

Shen Xiuyuan grinned, clearly overjoyed.

He was just a boy, and having suddenly received ten yuan when he had no money, he wasn't happy.

"Your hands will probably need a few days of rest to recover. I'll take you back first thing tomorrow morning. Xiuyuan, you should ask the school for a day off first."

Shen Kuan has already stopped going to school.

He stopped going to school after finishing junior high school. One reason was that his grades were not good and there was no point in continuing to study. The other reason was that there was a lot of farm work to do at home, so he simply stopped studying and went home to help.

The new house has a large courtyard with a clean and flat cement floor.

After the money was divided, the adults gathered in one group to chat, while the children gathered in another to play.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends ran around dribbling basketballs.

Shen Xiuyuan was envious and wanted to play too, but he couldn't lift his arm and could only watch.

Yun Jiao sat on a low stool, rubbing the soft bellies of the two chubby puppies with her fingers, watching her brothers dribble the basketball.

Some adults from the village also strolled over to his house, brought out stools, sat down, and joined the chat group.

"You chose a good site. If I remember correctly, you've had really good luck ever since you built this house. You've never come back empty-handed from your sea voyages."

Coincidentally, the house was chosen and construction began this year, and the boat was also bought this year. When all these things are combined, superstitious people really think that the foundation of their new house was chosen very well.

"Look, we've encountered such a great thing on our first day at sea after moving. What a great start!"

"Indeed, your family's life is getting better and better."

Grandpa and Grandma Yun smiled and said, "As long as everyone works together, life will only get better and better."

"By the way, has the thief from Yun Dafu's house been caught yet?"

Grandma Yun subtly changed the subject. Everyone perked up at this.

"You'll be surprised to learn that once we catch them, you'd never guess who it is!"

An old woman, who was gossipy and knew the inside story, slapped her thigh and said, "It was Yun Dafu's sister-in-law's son who brought people to his house to steal money."

"What?"

Instantly, everyone focused their attention.

Yun Jiao also came over with the cat in her arms, her eyes sparkling as she squatted down next to her mother.

There's more to this story, tell us quickly!

"After the police officers came to their house to check the situation, they felt that the thief seemed to be very familiar with their house and knew where the money was hidden. They determined that it was a crime committed by someone they knew. They asked Yun Dafu's family to carefully recall who they had told them about the place where the money was hidden."

"After a few days of investigation, the investigation eventually led to his sister-in-law's family. It turned out that Yun Dafu's sister-in-law had brought her husband and son to visit them a while ago."

You all know what kind of people Yun Dafu's family is. They want the whole world to know they have a little money. Then his sister-in-law said that her child needed to buy a house for his wedding and asked to borrow some money from his family.

When Yun Dafu and his wife heard about borrowing money, their expressions changed immediately. Later, when Yun Dafu's sister-in-law's family left, it was very unpleasant. It is said that their son learned the location of the hidden money from Yun Dafu's youngest son.

Then he brought two brothers to steal money, and by the time the police caught them, they had already spent most of it.

Those unaware of the situation gasped in shock: "That's over three thousand yuan! And it's all gone already?"

"That's not."

The old woman, cracking sunflower seeds, said, "My nephew works as a chef at the Public Security Bureau. He's the one who told me all this, so it's definitely true. I reckon everyone will hear the news by tomorrow."

"What did they do with the money? They spent it so quickly. Does his sister-in-law know?"

"What do you know?"

The old woman spat out the sunflower seed shells from her mouth: "After those three people divided the money, they took it to gamble."

Gambling, huh? No wonder.

Gambling has ruined countless lives throughout history.

"Then he deserved to be arrested."

"What good would it do to arrest them? They're definitely not going to get their money back."

I guess I can forget about being related to this person anymore.

They chatted until the moon was high in the sky, then the visitors left, and it was time for them to wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, Yun Chenbei, who was healthy and had not gone to sea, was responsible for sending the Shen brothers back.

Unable to go out to sea for the past few days, Yun Jiao took her cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese out for a stroll and to forage for food.

Now that the weather is gradually getting cooler, Yun Jiao is wearing long pants and long clothes.

The grass in the fields by the roadside wasn't as tender anymore, and there were far fewer insects. She still had to painstakingly move stones to find earthworms.

Suddenly, Yun Jiao noticed that many people were running in the same direction, muttering things like "Yun Dafu's family".

Yun Jiao remembered what the adults had been talking about yesterday, so she stopped looking for food for the chickens, ducks and geese and threw them into the rice paddy where the rice had been harvested, leaving the cat to watch over them.

"Boss Cat, please help me out. Be good, I'll give you something nice to eat when we get back."

After saying that, he picked up the two puppies and ran towards Yun Dafu's house.

Eat melon, eat melon.

Her eyes are bright.
