The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan was speechless in the face of Zhao Jingjing's sarcasm.

Too lazy to respond, I simply got in the car and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the blackfish inside the large plastic bucket suddenly began to fight.

The splashing water sprayed onto Zhao Jingjing's body and face.

Zhao Jingjing frowned in confusion. "What's in this bucket?"

Curiosity got the better of me, so I grabbed the edge of the plastic bucket, stood up, and peeked inside.

She then screamed in fright, "What a huge python!"

Chen Huan grinned and mocked mercilessly, "Look at your pathetic self, this is a blackfish, not a python."

"You call yourself a college graduate? Don't you have even this much common sense?"

Zhao Jingjing snorted, "This black fish looks just as sleazy as you, that's why it was scared."

"Why are you catching so many blackfish? I know, you're going to sell them for money, right?"

"How much is this thing worth?"

Zhao Jingjing remembered Chen Huan's insistence on contracting a section of the river and couldn't help but tease him again.

Chen Huan wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said smugly, "One hundred yuan a pound isn't that much."

"What?"

"One hundred yuan a pound? Do you really think I'm some kind of country bumpkin?"

"You're just bragging. Please at least write a draft first, okay?" Zhao Jingjing's sarcasm grew louder.

  

"Ignorance is also a sin." Chen Huan didn't explain, just muttered a sentence, and then roared forward.

"This guy doesn't seem to be lying."

"A black carp that costs 100 yuan per kilogram, this big bucket must weigh several hundred kilograms."

"That means he made tens of thousands of yuan in one go. No wonder he's been so arrogant lately. No wonder he insisted on contracting a section of the river. How did he make so much money?" Zhao Jingjing fell into deep thought.

The two remained silent the entire way, neither willing to speak first.

They arrived in town in no time. Zhao Jingjing patted the edge of the truck bed. "Pull over up ahead. I'll stop here."

Chen Huan stopped the car, expressionless, and helped Zhao Jingjing out of the car, then took the bicycle.

Zhao Jingjing originally wanted to politely say thank you.

However, upon seeing the expression on Chen Huan's face, he immediately abandoned the idea and pushed his bicycle toward a rural credit cooperative nearby.

Chen Huan ignored her and drove directly to the sauerkraut fish restaurant.

Just like the previous two times I came, the door was half open and half closed.

Chen Huan guessed that Xiao Gangzi, who was responsible for going to the morning market to buy ingredients every day, must be among them.

So he simply widened the crack in the door and squeezed in.

As soon as it appeared, it felt a strong gust of wind coming towards it.

"What's going on?"

I vaguely saw something that looked like a wooden stick coming straight at my head.

Chen Huan had already crawled halfway through.

Trying to go back would likely result in getting stuck.

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and charge forward.

With a bang, the wooden stick struck the doorknob, causing a violent vibration.

"What are you doing?" Chen Huan turned around immediately.

Only then did I see clearly that there was a woman wearing a white tight-fitting vest standing by the door.

He looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, and had large tattoos on his chest and arms.

Judging from her appearance, she is quite good-looking, but she is too thin and lacks some of the unique charm of a woman.

"I'll beat you to death, you filthy thief!"

"You dare to steal from my restaurant? You're asking for it!" The woman, wielding a baseball bat, continued to chase after Chen Huan relentlessly.

Judging from his stance, he must have practiced before; he swung the bat with considerable power and speed.

"There must be some misunderstanding?"

"I'm not here to steal anything," Chen Huan said, backing away as he tried to explain.

He didn't understand how he had become a thief.

"Still trying to argue? Look at your sneaky, sleazy appearance!"

"I'm going to break your legs today! You'll have to give back everything you stole, or you'll regret it!" The woman continued to chase and beat him.

Chen Huan lost his patience, seized the opportunity, caught the top of the opponent's bat, and then pulled it into his arms.

The woman gasped in surprise and involuntarily let go of her grip.

But the person still rushed in front of Chen Huan due to inertia, almost face to face with him.

"That's pretty strong!" The woman reacted immediately, lifting her slender leg and thrusting her knee hard between Chen Huan's legs.

His movements were extremely skillful, and he acted without hesitation.

"Wow, is it that ruthless?" Chen Huan jumped to the side.

Seeing that the woman was still relentless, he finally couldn't hold back and kicked her in the butt.

The woman cried out again and fell to the ground, her face flushed with pain.

"Stop messing around! I'm here to deliver goods, not to steal!"

"On the contrary, you look like a delinquent girl. Are you trying to cry wolf?" Chen Huan pointed the baseball bat at the woman's head and shouted sternly.

"What's going on? Let's talk this out, don't hit me!" Another person squeezed in from outside the door.

It was the old man who had done the two transactions with Chen Huan. I saw his name when I signed the contract; it seemed to be Qiao Zhenshan.

"Dad, call the police! I've caught a thief!"

"Don't let him get away!" The woman sitting on the ground shouted as she got up and ran towards the door.

"Dad?" Chen Huan stared in disbelief.

Grandpa Qiao Zhenshan quickly helped the tattooed woman up, frowning as he said, "Lingling, when are you going to get rid of this irritable habit of yours?"

"You've misunderstood him. This isn't a thief at all; it's Chen Huan, who's here to deliver goods."

The woman paused for a moment, rubbing her backside as she looked at Chen Huan, "The one who delivered the black carp?"

"Yes, I said from the beginning that I was here to deliver goods."

"You beat me up without even asking what happened. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would be lying on the ground," Chen Huan replied with a bitter face.

The woman blushed. "It's all a misunderstanding, I'm so sorry, young man."

"In the past two days, our store has been broken into and burgled several times. In order to catch the thieves, I stayed at the store after get off work every night."

"I heard a noise and saw you sneaking in, so I mistook you for a thief."

"The main problem is that you didn't say anything before coming in, otherwise this wouldn't have happened..."

Chen Huan grinned, "While I may not be exactly handsome, I'm not as sleazy as you describe, am I?"

Qiao Zhenshan quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, Chen Huan, this is my daughter, Qiao Lingling."

Did she hurt you?

"This girl is spoiled rotten by her mother. She usually likes to practice martial arts and fight with knives and sticks..."

Chen Huan waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, the fish are already outside, there are more today."

Qiao Zhenshan opened the door wide. "I saw it. Don't worry, no matter how much it is, I'll accept it all according to the contract."

As Chen Huan walked out, he noticed Qiao Lingling staring at him curiously.

He also found it a bit strange; Old Master Qiao Zhenshan was gentle and refined, both steady and polite.

Why is it that the daughter I gave birth to looks like a little delinquent?

This outfit, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, probably has quite a story behind it.
