Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 29 The sea urchin business is not easy to do

Facing the malicious inquiries from the villagers, Chang Pingning looked at the people in front of him who were expecting his answer, lowered his head and pretended to be sad.

"Auntie, I've only been married a few days, so I don't know how much money my family has made. Just ask whoever told you that our family made money."

The aunt in front of Chang Pingning did not expect to get such an answer. She looked a little embarrassed and turned to glare at Guo Yuhua, who was craning her neck to listen.

Following the aunt's gaze, Chang Pingning wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes: "Aunt Yuhua, it turns out that your daughter-in-law is in charge of the accounts."

As soon as Chang Pingning's words came out, she saw a woman about her age next to Guo Yuhua roll her eyes at Guo Yuhua.

It seemed that no one had the intention to continue asking. Chang Pingning took the initiative and said: "I have to go back to cook, so I can't chat with the aunts here. It's better for Aunt Yuhua to treat her daughter-in-law well, and she doesn't even have to cook for lunch." "

With that said, Chang Pingning turned around and left such a place of right and wrong.

Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia on the side saw Chang Pingning's reaction and couldn't help but praise Chang Pingning for his clever reaction.Chang Pingning hurriedly waved her hands and told them not to talk about her like that. What she just said was slandering her mother-in-law, and she had to go home quickly to explain.

When Chang Pingning returned home, before he opened the courtyard door, he heard Aunt Qiuhong talking in the courtyard. It was obvious that everyone in the village knew that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been collecting sea urchins and selling them for money.

Chang Pingning opened the door and saw Ruilan coming with Aunt Qiuhong, looking at him with worried eyes.Chang Pingning walked aside to say hello to her mother-in-law and Aunt Qiu Hong, sat down next to her mother-in-law, and heard Aunt Qiu Hong continue talking.

"...she came back from town today and sat under the big tree at the entrance of the village. She said that the sea urchins in the town are sold by the piece for sixty-seven cents each." After Aunt Qiuhong finished speaking, she looked at Ye Xiuying and Chang Ping. Ning's eyes were questioning, obviously hoping that they could give a positive answer.

"It's hard to say." Ye Xiuying didn't finish her words. "Now the price of sea urchins changes every day. Some sell for three to five cents, and some sell for more expensive ones. Who knew she would encounter the one today? What if you, mother and daughter, also want to If you want to sell sea urchins, you can go to the vegetable market in town tomorrow. Even if you don’t go to the port, it’s better than asking me.”

Aunt Qiuhong captured important information: "So, sea urchins are really sold one by one in town now?"

Ye Xiuying nodded and looked at Chang Pingning: "Did anything happen when you came back? You also heard what your Aunt Qiuhong just said. Did other people in the village make things difficult for you?"

Chang Pingning was a little embarrassed when she heard her mother-in-law ask this question, but considering that there were other people present, she simply told her mother-in-law that when she passed the big tree at the entrance of the village, she met other people in the village asking how much money the family made. , she asked the man to ask Aunt Yuhua.

When Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law's smile, she knew that there was nothing wrong with her for the time being.However, after Aunt Qiuhong left with Ruilan, she still repeated her answer at that time.

"What I told them is that you didn't let me take care of the money." Chang Pingning looked at Ye Xiuying with some fear.

Although everyone agrees that a newly married woman cannot take care of money, but if the daughter-in-law says it outside, she will lose the mother-in-law's face.

Chang Pingning didn't want her relationship with Ye Xiuying to be instigated by others, so she took the initiative to speak out.

After a while, Chang Pingning heard Ye Xiuying sigh: "Well, it's better to tell those people that we have a conflict than to tell them the price at which we sell sea urchins."

Hearing this, Chang Pingning knew that Ye Xiuying would not be angry with him anymore, and quickly held her mother-in-law's arm affectionately: "Yes, I think so too. Besides, I also used this to win over Aunt Yuhua, They say that their daughter-in-law is in charge of the money."

"Their family, huh..." Ye Xiuying shook her head disdainfully, "I heard that a few years ago, Yuhua even wanted to get her daughter-in-law's dowry."

Chang Pingning flattered Ye Xiuying a few more times and offered to make lunch. By the way, he also told his mother-in-law that he was teasing Guo Yuhua about making lunch.I also hope that my mother-in-law will not be angry when she hears this from others in the future.

After Chang Pingning finished speaking, Ye Xiuying smiled and tapped Chang Pingning's forehead with her hand.Chang Pingning knew that her experience in front of her mother-in-law was over, and she did not leave anything bad to say in the future.The only thing left is to mention it again in front of Guo Bomo.

This was something she learned from getting along with Dong's mother in her previous life.

While making lunch, Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law reminding herself worriedly that the next sea urchin business would not be as easy as before, and she had to be mentally prepared.

Chang Pingning nodded in agreement. She also had similar speculations, but she always felt that it would take a few days before she would be affected.

The two planned to go to the beach a little early in the evening.

But she didn't expect that when her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the beach to pick up sea urchins in the evening, her mother-in-law's words would come true.

The place where the two of them usually pick up sea urchins is already crowded with villagers, and they have begun to compete with each other for the sea urchins on the beach.But when they saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law approaching, the villagers spontaneously formed a human wall to block their way forward.

Seeing her mother-in-law's helpless expression, Chang Pingning shouted angrily at the wall of people in front of her: "If you stop us two, others will pick up all the sea urchins."

After Chang Pingning finished speaking, Ye Xiuying patted her hand and motioned for her to follow him, and the two changed directions and positions.

Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law staring at the sand, grabbing something from the ground with iron pliers from time to time and putting it into the wooden bucket in her hand.

A small group of villagers followed them not too far away, pretending to be casual and wanting to see what they had in their buckets.

Ye Xiuying found it funny, turned around and shouted to the village chief's wife who was nearest to her: "If the eldest sister of the village chief's family wants to take a look, come and take a look. If you follow like this, the tide will rise in a while, but you can't pick up anything."

After her mother-in-law said this, Chang Pingning saw Aunt Shuzhen walking forward with a shy look on her face, muttering: "It's not what I want to see, it's Xiuying who brought it up on your own initiative."

"Okay, since you don't want to look at it, then don't look at it." Ye Xiuying said and covered the barrel.

The village chief's wife had almost reached Ye Xiuying. After hearing what she said, she froze on the spot for a while, then quickly ran to Ye Xiuying's barrel and opened the lid.

"Why are there no sea urchins?" The village chief's wife didn't understand. Ye Xiuying's barrel was full of conchs.

Ye Xiuying reached out and slapped the village chief's wife's hand away: "If you want to pick up the sea urchins, I'll leave them to you. My daughter-in-law and I will just pick up the conchs that you don't want."

If the conch is big enough, it can be sold at a high price.

After hearing Ye Xiuying's words, the village chief's wife left the two of them with a sneer on her face.

Chang Pingning saw the people who were following them walking away with the village chief's wife, rummaging around in the sand for seafood.

I heard my mother-in-law next to me remind me, don’t think about picking up sea urchins on this trip today. First, check to see if there are any big seafood, and pick some that can usually be sold at a high price.

Chang Pingning nodded in agreement, but was worried that there would be no sea urchins to deliver to restaurants in town tomorrow.
