Chapter 139: An Unexpected Price [Please Subscribe]

Where did you go?

They saw Fang Hao and Song Yaxin return.

Chen Fenglan immediately stood up and came forward to ask.

The worry between his brows finally eased; his son and daughter-in-law hadn't returned so late.

For a moment, no one knew where the two of them had gone.

It's perfectly normal to have some worries.

"Mom!"

"We went to the volcanic island."

"I didn't see you and Dad at home when I woke up this morning, so I didn't have a chance to say anything..."

Fang Hao explained casually.

When I woke up this morning, my parents weren't home, so I couldn't tell them about the trip to the volcanic island.

After all, this was a decision made on short notice!

"A volcanic island?"

"You go so far to fish?"

Fang Dajun, who was standing next to him, suddenly interjected and asked a question.

Having frequently gone out to sea to fish, he knew exactly how far away the volcanic island was; small fishing boats generally wouldn't venture there.

I never expected that my son and daughter-in-law would go to the volcanic island. I thought they were going out to sea to fish. It was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Let's go have some fun."

Fang Hao nodded and said.

The round trip is indeed quite long.

Fortunately, today's sea voyage was worthwhile.

It was a very fruitful experience!

"oh oh."

"Was all of this done over there?"

at this time.

Chen Fenglan's attention then shifted to the basket Fang Hao had brought back, which was filled with snails, crabs, abalone, and oysters.

Looks like you've had quite a good harvest!

"yes!"

"I had pretty good luck today."

"I got a lot of basil from the volcanic island, and I also caught a grouper weighing over 100 pounds by sea fishing. I asked Wang Mazi to help me sell it in the county town."

Fang Hao continued.

There was nothing to hide.

I briefly recounted what I had learned today.

"What?!"

"A grouper weighing over 100 pounds?"

"This stuff is quite expensive. Our boss once caught one that weighed several dozen kilograms and sold it for a lot of money, I think it was several dozen yuan per kilogram—"

Fang Dajun exclaimed in surprise.

I have a strong impression of the grouper my son mentioned.

Previously, their boss had gotten a fish from his fishing boat and sold it for around four or five thousand yuan.

"So expensive?"

Chen Fenglan couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

If we calculate based on this price...

The fish that my son caught, weighing over a hundred pounds, could be sold for several thousand yuan.

He was overjoyed.

I never imagined that my son and daughter-in-law could earn so much money just by going out to sea casually.

It feels like my ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.

My luck with money has been really good lately!

"That was indeed the price before."

"As for how much Wang Mazi can sell for in the city, it's hard to say. These things also depend on sales channels—"

Fang Dajun shook his head and said.

He doesn't know what the price is now.

After all, his boss sold the grouper through his own connections, so maybe the price was split with favors.

However, wild grouper is indeed very expensive these days. There are no artificially farmed ones; purely wild ones are considered high-end seafood.

"——"

"Wait for news from Wang Mazi."

Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

After my dad said that...

I have a general idea of what's going on.

He was somewhat surprised that wild giant grouper were so expensive these days.

What was originally thought to be a very expensive cowrie shell turned out to be not expensive at all, while the grouper, which was not very expensive in later generations, became valuable.

I figured that the giant grouper should still be able to fetch some money. It seems like I made a profit on this long voyage today, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

Nobody ever complains about having too much money!

Even Fang Hao himself was thinking about making more money to buy a motorcycle to show off, so that everyone in the surrounding area would call him a handsome guy.

Money isn't everything!

But you absolutely can't do without money.

"alright."

"Let's eat first..."

Chen Fenglan then remembered something.

After all, eating is the most important thing in the world!

The couple had been waiting for Fang Hao and Song Yaxin to come back for dinner.

The food on the table has gone cold!

"OK!"

Fang Hao nodded.

Then I turned around and washed my hands.

I was too hungry to cook any other seafood, but I'll cook some later for a late-night snack.

"Ya Xin!"

"Don't you get seasick going such a long way out to sea?"

Later, during dinner.

Chen Fenglan asked Song Yaxin.

It was indeed somewhat unexpected that the other person, so delicate and charming, would run so far as to follow along.

"I'm not dizzy."

Song Yaxin shook her head.

Both sea trips were great experiences.

I even secretly enjoy going out to sea.

After all, every fishing trip yields a good harvest, and anyone would be happy and delighted, wishing they could do it every day.

Go out and make some money.

"Then you're quite suited to living by the sea."

Chen Fenglan also said with a smile.

Some people who can't swim get seasick and dizzy on their first time on a boat.

"Um."

Song Yaxin nodded.

Actually, she quite likes the seaside.

"Mom!"

"Tomorrow I plan to go to my sister's house with Ya-xin to pay back the money I borrowed before..."

Fang Hao suddenly spoke up.

We need to pay this money back as soon as possible.

After all, her four older sisters are all married and might be short of money themselves.

He was in a hurry to raise money to buy a fishing boat!

As her older sister, I had no choice but to help.

Now that I've saved up some extra money, I naturally need to pay them back as soon as possible.

After all, it's a favor that my sisters helped me!

It is one's duty to repay the money oneself.

"Um?"

"Actually, there's no need to rush. If you're short on cash, just keep it for now—you can return it to them later; it hasn't been borrowed for very long..."

Chen Fenglan frowned slightly.

The matter of my son borrowing money to buy a boat.

She was naturally aware of it as well.

"We have extra money!"

"The recent sea voyages have been quite successful."

Fang Hao shook his head and said.

Fishing boats have recently made money from going out to sea.

Selling that giant grouper later brought in a considerable income, enough to cover living expenses.

If you're lucky enough!

Next, we can catch those big yellow croakers.

Only then can we truly say that our family has entered a moderately prosperous life, and that we have escaped poverty ahead of schedule and are now living a good life with enough to eat and wear.

"Then you should return it to them first."

At this time.

Fang Dajun also spoke up.

After all, as a man, he understands men better.

Those sons-in-law were only willing to lend money because of their daughters; sometimes, one should know how to behave properly.

If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again!

"Um."

Fang Hao nodded.

That was exactly what he meant.

My four older sisters have helped me more than enough.

"Also, get some goose barnacles and blue crabs for them to try; these things are really sweet and delicious—"

Fang Hao then spoke again.
