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

Chapter 52 Make money with the Liu family
Just when Chang Pingning felt a hint of danger from Guo Bomo's eyes and subconsciously wanted to step back, Ye Xiuying's voice came from the yard.

"Zhongzhou, you are back? Why didn't you say anything? It's almost time for the tide to recede. Call your dad and head to the sea." Ye Xiuying greeted in the yard.

Chang Pingning and Guo Bomo, who were in the corner of the courtyard wall, were startled by Ye Xiuying's sudden voice. They looked at Ye Xiuying who appeared in the courtyard.

Chang Pingning felt that the danger that suddenly appeared before suddenly disappeared again.She pushed Guo Bomo's chest: "Don't stand here, mother is telling us to go to the sea."

Guo Bomo was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing. He walked towards the yard where the barrels were placed and took several barrels together.

The Guo family went out.

Someone in the village saw them and deliberately walked up to talk to Ye Xiuying.

"Sister Xiuying, this daughter-in-law of yours is amazing. She rode a donkey cart back to the village with the Liu family in the afternoon, and she was so grand!" She spoke loudly, as if she was deliberately attracting the attention of others around her.

"Really?" Ye Xiuying pretended not to understand the strangeness in the man's words, and told her seriously, "If you are envious, you can also go to the Liu family to find work. Maybe the Liu family will meet you sometime and give you a ride. "

"Meet us on the way? Why don't I believe it?" Guo Yuhua didn't know why, but she shamelessly joined the conversation, "There was also a new big pot in the car, and it was sent directly to your house. Sister Xiuying, your house You’re not going to hit the Liu family behind our backs to make money again, are you?”

When Ye Xiuying saw it was Guo Yuhua, she looked at her angrily: "What do you believe? Do you believe that sea urchins are expensive? As a result, a whole yard of sea urchins rotted? Yuhua, I'm not telling you, although your home stinks, you should wash it before going out. bath."

"What are you talking about!" Guo Yuhua was angry.

However, after other surrounding villagers heard about Guo Yuhua and sea urchin, they looked at Guo Yuhua with disgust, and some even agreed.

"Sister Xiuying is right, Yuhua, your house smells like rotten sea urchins, why don't you rinse your mouth before going out?"

There are also people who want to be peacemakers and want to bring the topic back to the Liu family and their family: "Xiuying, you still don't know that Yuhua Tingfeng has Yu's temperament, don't be like her. Tell us, you guys Is the boss’s wife making money with the Liu family? If so, please take us with you.”

As he said that, he looked at Chang Pingning eagerly.

Chang Pingning had never seen this scene before and didn't know how to answer, so he subconsciously took half a step back.

Seeing this, Guo Bomo took a step forward, blocking the other aunts in the village from looking at Chang Pingning.

"What if..." Guo Bomo wanted to speak for Chang Pingning.

"Old sister..." Ye Xiuying wanted to divert the attention of the villagers from Chang Pingning.

"If everyone wants to make money..." Meng Xia said.

Three voices sounded simultaneously.

When the people in Guojia Village saw Meng Xia and Miss Liu suddenly appearing, they quickly abandoned Guo Dayong's family and gathered around Meng Xia and Miss Liu.

Across the crowd, Chang Pingning saw Meng Xia give her a "reassured" look, while Miss Liu next to Meng Xia had a cold face and didn't look very emotional.

"Everyone listen to me." Meng Xia raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling the villagers to quiet down. "I just heard that everyone wants to make money. That's it. I happen to be collecting sea urchins. If you are willing, I can give you two cents for one penny." catty……"

Before Meng Xia finished speaking, he was drowned out by the voices of the villagers.

"Two pounds of sea urchins for one penny? I sold them in town a few days ago, and they cost three pennies each! How come the price is so low?"

"Yes, I even sold them for four cents each!" "Ms. Liu, the price of sea urchins should be higher!"

Some people began to beg, but no one mentioned it. Now the sea urchin in the town is almost one or two cents a pound.

"Since everyone is unwilling, I won't force you to join us." Meng Xia was unmoved and pulled Liu Qingwan to follow Chang Pingning's family.

Chang Pingning and Guo Lingan were very happy to see Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan, and deliberately went to the end to chat with them.

Especially Guo Ling'an, who made Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia very happy with her "beautiful sister".

Chang Pingning noticed that the cold expression on Liu Qingwan's face was melted by the child's smile after seeing Guo Lingan.She looked at Meng Xia and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Qingwan? Wasn't she quite happy when she went back?"

Meng Xia looked helpless: "It's nothing, it's just her family's... old problem, it doesn't affect us. - How about we pick up some sea urchins to make tomorrow's sea urchin fried rice?"

Chang Pingning knew that Meng Xia was changing the subject, but when she saw Liu Qingwan being amused by Guo Lingan, she knew that some questions were not hers to ask.

"Okay, if you see oysters, would you like to pick them up?" Chang Pingning asked.

"Pick it up! Pick it all up!" Meng Xia looked at the beach that appeared in front of her, her expression was very excited, and she hurriedly ran towards a large conch.

Chang Pingning also followed her mother-in-law, and first went to the shoreline to pick up some scallops and put them on the bottom of the barrel.Then, she saw a large group of sea urchins appearing in a puddle not far away, and she saw Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan also picking them up.

Chang Pingning stepped forward and prepared to put all the sea urchins into his bucket with them.

After walking a few steps, the wind carried Meng Xia's voice.

"You used to give them a lot of money and rewards. Why do they ask you for dozens of coins today, and their faces are so ugly?... If it doesn't work, just treat it as a loss of money and avoid disaster?"

Chang Pingning ran towards them: "Hey! You two found so many sea urchins, why didn't you call me?"

"Come quickly." Meng Xia shouted to her, "If you come late, you'll be gone."

When Chang Pingning ran to them, he saw that both of them were bending down to pick up sea urchins. The words they just accidentally heard were like gravel scattered in the wind, leaving no trace.

There are eight members of the Guo family, plus Meng Xia, a total of ten people, and the small buckets in each person's hands are full.Ye Xiuying looked at the sky and the waves and reminded them loudly to prepare to go back.

On the way back, Liu Qingwan handed the bucket to Chang Pingning angrily. Although she was confused, Chang Pingning saw the look in Meng Xia's eyes and accepted the bucket from Liu Qingwan.She watched Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia walk into the dark door of the Liu family.

After returning home, Ye Xiuying very methodically arranged for the Guo children to sort the seafood they brought back, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Upon seeing this, Chang Pingning followed his mother-in-law to the kitchen, took out 70 coins from his pocket, and told his mother-in-law about the three of them sharing money in the afternoon. She gave her exactly half of what she had received today.

Seeing that her mother-in-law wanted to refuse, Chang Pingning added: "Thanks to you and Bomer, we picked up the oysters last night. And today, you also let the family pick up a lot of sea urchins... If you support this little stall of mine, you can consider it as my filial piety to you."

Ye Xiuying hesitated.

"Besides, our family hasn't separated yet. If we have any income, we should give half of it to the father-in-law. Mother told me." Chang Pingning said, putting a small bunch of money in her mother-in-law's hand, turning around and picking up the basin, " Mom, can you wash some vegetables and eat them tonight?"

She didn't know what happened after Liu Qingwan took the money home in the afternoon, but she was very grateful to have a mother-in-law like Ye Xiuying.
