Chapter 10 Selling Live Fish
Chapter 10 Selling live fish
"Nai, I won't go to grandma's house anymore."
"I won't go either, grandma is too terrible."
When Mrs. Pei heard what Dalang Silang said, she asked Lin Darong in confusion: "What's going on?"
Lin Darong sat down on the stool and said helplessly: "My mother-in-law asked us to go this time so that we could pay for her son to get a wife. As soon as I said I had no money, they yelled at me and took me away when I was angry.
Lang and the others are back."
"Yujuan didn't come back with you?"
"Her mother left her behind after saying a few harsh words. If she doesn't come back, she won't come back! I think she only has her mother's family in her heart."
"Mom doesn't want to stay either, but grandma is holding me back and won't let her go."
Ms. Pei probably knew what was going on. When the matchmaker introduced her to Lin Darong, she said that Zhang Yujuan had a good personality and didn't talk much.
They fell in love with her, and after they got married, they found out that she had a weak character, and her parents' family would always ask her for everything. The Lin family thought they were all relatives, so they didn't care too much, and they also spent a lot of money on her.
Now that my son is getting married, it would be outrageous to ask my daughter to use money to marry her.
"Boss Yujuan has a soft temper. If you have anything to say, please speak to her. You can go and bring her back in two days!"
"No need to pick her up, she will come back by herself if she has a home like ours."
"well……"
Mrs. Pei sighed and stopped trying to persuade her. She led Ah Li to get a bowl to eat.
On the dinner table.
"Dad, Mom, there is still more than half a bucket of fish caught today. I think it is still alive and kicking. Why don't you go to the county early tomorrow morning and sell it!"
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was a bit tense, Mrs. Yan found a topic to lighten the mood.
"That's okay. I'll need a lot of money in the future, so it's better to save a little." Lin Changlu turned to Lin Errong and said: "Tomorrow, second brother, you go to the county to sell fish!"
"Boss brought two fish to pick up your wife. No matter what, you can't leave her alone."
Ah Li sipped his porridge while listening to the adults talking, and suddenly thought of something.
"Dad, I'm going with my second brother."
The expression on Lin Changlu's face softened immediately.
"Does Lili want to go to the county with your second brother?"
Ah Li held the chopsticks and nodded vigorously.
"But there are photographers in the county who specialize in catching children. Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, there is a second brother who can beat the bad guys."
"Then you have to get up very early tomorrow and can't sleep in."
"Okay, I'll get up early."
Ah Li's cute words instantly made everyone feel relaxed.
"Okay then! Lili can go if he wants to! Dalangerlang will also go with him. Watch your little aunt and don't let her get lost."
When Erlang Sanlang heard this, he buried his food in his bowl and his face lit up with joy.
Saburo and Shiro showed an envious expression next to him.
There are not many opportunities for children in the village to go to the county. After all, riding in an oxcart costs a penny for both adults and children.
The next day, just after dawn, Lin Errong got up. He first looked at the fish in the bucket and found that none of them were dead.
If it had turned belly before, it seems to have something to do with their little carp.
After packing up, he thought Ah Li couldn't get up, and was about to set off on his own with the bucket when a noise came from the house.
Turning around, he saw Ah Li walking out with Dalang Erlang as his guardian.
Mrs. Pei also followed behind and said, "Come back early after selling everything, and be sure to keep an eye on Ah Li."
Then he handed a handkerchief bag to Lin Errong.
"Don't be reluctant to spend the few pennies on the bus and buy some steamed buns for you to eat when you get to the county."
Lin Errong nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay, mother, don't worry! I will take good care of these little guys. It's still early, so you can go and get some sleep."
Ah Li happily waved to Mr. Pei and jumped away with Dalang Erlang in tow.
Mrs. Pei watched them go out until their figures were obscured by the house before turning around and entering the house.
Ah Li and the others arrived at the entrance of the village.
At this time, there were already two people sitting on the bullock cart, one was Li Zhaodi's mother, Huang, and the other was Mrs. Geng.
Lin Errong ignored them, gave the owner of the bullock cart, Old Liu Tou, four cents and then carried Ah Li onto the bullock cart.
"It seems that the Lin family is rich, and such a young child can ride with them on an ox cart to the county."
"Who says it's not the case! A picked-up film of a girl is a treasure."
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Geng sat aside and whispered.
Ah Li still remembered that the two people in front of her were more cruel than her. Knowing that they were not good people, she tilted her head to the side and looked curiously at the mountains and rivers on the roadside.
Soon two or three more people came, and Old Liu Tou set off with the bullock cart.
The country road was not easy to walk, and the water in the barrel sloshed out.
"Ouch, second son of the Lin family, what is in your bucket? The water has shaken out, but don't get our pants wet. I will cause trouble for you then."
Lin Errong lifted the bucket to the side and said, "Sister-in-law Li, don't worry, I will never touch your precious body."
"Humph, you are right. My body is worth a lot of money. The old doctor said that I am pregnant with his son."
"Is my son any different? Why don't you like Sister Zhaodi?"
What A Li said made Mr. Huang feel a little uncomfortable, "What do you know about movies like this, little girl? How can a girl have a son? Girls are losers and sooner or later they will belong to someone else's family."
It was well known in the village that she was not good to Li Zhaodi, so she didn't feel anything embarrassed.
Ah Li frowned and said innocently: "But you are also a girl!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the car couldn't help laughing.
They didn't expect that Mrs. Huang would be told by a three-year-old girl.
Huang was so angry that he gouged out Ah Li fiercely.
Ah Li originally wanted to say that there was also a girl in her belly, but she didn't say anything after she glared at her.
No one spoke much the rest of the way.
It was already broad daylight when they arrived at the county town.
There was an endless stream of people entering the city at this time, and the soldiers at the gate were just conducting routine inspections. There used to be a fee to enter the city, but after the flood, the county magistrate here canceled the fee for the sake of the people.
Yecheng has a large population and a large area, so the city is relatively prosperous.
This was the first time Ah Li saw such a lively place, and his eyes widened with gleaming eyes.
Lin Errong asked Dalang Erlang to hold Ah Li while he carried the barrel. They first went to the vegetable market and found an open space to put the barrel.
Then he started selling.
"Fish is for sale, fish is for sale, fresh live fish~"
Ah Li thought it was fun and imitated Lin Errong in shouting, "Live fish for sale! Live fish for sale!"
Maybe it was because her appearance and voice were so cute, but soon a crowd of people gathered in front of them.
"Ah! This fish looks so fresh. You must have caught it in the morning!"
Lin Errong also followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, I got up in the middle of the night to catch fish. If the fish I caught the first day are all turned upside down today, this fish is very fresh!"
"How much does one cost?"
