Chapter 279 Seeing the Bride, Everyone is Dumbfounded

After returning home, Liang Ziqiang wanted to keep a low profile, so he quietly put the three hundred yuan he had on him into a wooden box.

But his sharp-eyed wife came in and saw it.

At first, she thought he was secretly taking money out of the box. He was clearly putting money into the box, so why was he doing it so furtively, like a thief?

She squeezed his arm:
"What are you doing? You didn't go out to sea today, where did you get the money? Hey, it's quite a lot!"

Liang Ziqiang was trying to save money but failed, and his wife kept chasing him:
"How come you got so much money when you went to the police station? What did you do to cooperate with the police?"

Obviously, the wife was worried again. Last time he was busy outside all night, she was worried whether he was cooperating with something dangerous.

Now when I see the huge sums of money, that feeling comes back to me.

Liang Ziqiang immediately confessed everything:
"Didn't we catch the fish thief? The brothers Yang Xi and Yang Qing only stole the fish from the seabed for a few months, but in the past few years, many of the fish I released from the seabed were stolen by people from other villages. This time, the thief was finally caught, and when the police interrogated him, he spit out the money!

These are the losses I lost in the past few years. I have compensated them for the losses!"

"Is it really like that?" Chen Xiangbei looked at him with her inky eyes.

I always feel like something is not right, but I don't have any evidence...

"Wife, don't tell my parents about the fish thief paying me money. That way they won't have to ask me about it again!" Liang Ziqiang specifically instructed Chen Xiangbei after he finished speaking.

"Well, just be careful at sea. If something dangerous happens, turn around and run away. Don't get involved no matter how much money you are offered!" the daughter-in-law reminded seriously.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow is the 28th. My boat cannot go out to sea for the next two days. I have to hang lanterns, red silk and other things on the boat!" Liang Ziqiang revealed.

"What's the point of doing all this?" Chen Xiangbei frowned, she couldn't remember it.

"Mom is talking about Ah Xian's marriage every day, but you don't listen to it at all?" Liang Ziqiang even suspected that she had a selective blocking function.

"Oh, it seems to be true. He is getting married the day after tomorrow, right?" Chen Xiangbei finally remembered this.

"Don't you want to go to the banquet and see what his bride looks like?"

"Of course I want to see it. But what can I do? How can I go to a wedding banquet with such a big belly? Do you think I can go like this?"

Now it was Liang Ziqiang's turn to remain silent. He was indeed not thoughtful enough. When Li Liang got married before, Chen Xiangbei went with him, but she was not pregnant yet. Now the situation is very different.

"You and mom are all going to the wedding, I'll just stay home and cook some food! You'll be sitting together with a few good friends, so you'll have to drink. Just remember not to drink too much. If you get drunk, I won't be able to give you a bath!"

She also gave him a vaccination in advance.

April 4 of that year was also the 28th day of the third lunar month, and Lin Baixian's wedding day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Because they were going to another county and the journey was quite far, Liang Ziqiang and his group of men got up before dawn.

Lin Baixian's own boat served as the wedding boat and was at the front. It was decorated with red ribbons and colorful ribbons, looking particularly festive.

Following closely behind was Liang Ziqiang's lotus-patterned boat, which was decorated a little more simply than the wedding boat, but also had red lanterns hanging on it.

There were many boats behind, all of which hung big red lanterns. They looked like writing a gorgeous and joyful stroke on the sea today.

Although there were some subtleties between Li Liang and Lin Baixian, he also sailed the boat and joined Liang Ziqiang when Ah Xian got married.

In addition to Liang Ziqiang's brand new and beautiful boat, Zhong Yongrui's wooden boat was also considered to be quite attractive in the village. It also joined the team and was relatively close to the front, driven by Zhong Ming.

Compared to most of the young people in the village who held their wedding on water, this time they sailed really far away, parading all the way, causing people from every village along the coast to run to the shore, stand there with their hands on the sunshade, and look forward to it.

Lin Baixian said that his wife was not from the seaside, but she would arrive at the seaside near their county in advance in the morning and take the wedding boat to wait for him on the sea. Everything was done according to the water wedding customs of the man's side.

From a distance, he could already see the wedding boat approaching slowly on the sea ahead. At this moment, Liang Ziqiang felt relieved.

Over the years, he had always thought that Lin Baixian was a stubborn person in some aspects. He had set his heart on Yuan Xiaomei and would never turn back even if he hit a wall.

For a while, Lin Baixian once told Liang Ziqiang that since Yuan Xiaomei was married, he would never marry another woman in his life and would just live like this. At that time, Liang Ziqiang really did not doubt this possibility at all.

You know, according to the trajectory of the previous life, after Yuan Xiaomei married to the neighboring Jitou Village, Lin Baixian really remained single for many years. Later, he got married through an introduction, but he was not happy.

The boat of the bride and groom was getting closer and closer.

The bride on the wedding boat bit her lip inadvertently, glanced at Lin Baixian with a smile, and then stepped onto Lin Baixian's boat amid the sound of firecrackers.

At that moment, the dozen or so boats participating in the wedding procession, which had been making a lot of noise, suddenly became silent, contrary to their usual behavior.

For a few seconds, Liang Ziqiang's head seemed to have been acupunctured and stopped moving.

Suddenly, he clearly saw Yuan Xiaomei!
Yuan Xiaomei only became a little plumper, her skin became a little whiter, but her height remained almost the same. She stepped over the wedding boat and fell into Lin Baixian's arms...

Now, everything suddenly made sense.

Liang Ziqiang finally understood why this stubborn guy was willing to fall in love with another girl in just a few short months.

It turns out that this girl is a completely different Yuan Xiaomei, and she looks more than 50% similar to Yuan Xiaomei!
It is said that there is always a fragrant grass in the world. It seems that Lin Baixian has deeply understood this truth, so he traveled all over the world and finally found a fragrant grass that is exactly the same...

At this moment, Liang Ziqiang was also confused. Just now, he was relieved that Ah Xian finally broke through the wall and walked out of that relationship.

Now he doesn’t know whether Lin Baixian has not come out of it or not?
The bride noticed the rows of fishing boats, all of whom looked at her in silence with their mouths half open.

She probably thought that everyone thought she was very beautiful today, so she leaned on Lin Baixian's chest and smiled very sweetly...

"Ah Mei has a good lover, even rice cooked with sea water will taste delicious.

May the marriage be bestowed upon us by heaven, and may the love and blessings last forever..."

I don't know who was the first to wake up from the silence, but the sounds of fishermen's songs floated around the bride and groom.

All the boats returned along the original route and drove all the way back to Changwang Village after picking up the bride.

During the wedding banquet, the women in the village, including Liang's mother, once again fell into a meaningful silence when they saw the bride...

Liang Ziqiang tried not to drink too much that day. He felt that Chen Xiangbei's reminder was right. If he drank too much, there would be no one to give him a bath.

After the banquet was almost over, he went straight back to Juzipo.

"How is it, what's the bride's name and what does she look like?"

As soon as he returned to the house, his wife, who usually didn't gossip much, started to ask him questions.

"I think her name is Jiang Xiuting? By the way, when you girls are chatting together in the future, try not to mention Yuan Xiaomei!"

"Do I need you to remind me of this? I definitely won't mention it!" His wife thought his reminder was totally unnecessary.

Recently, I have been collecting bounties and attending Lin Baixian's wedding reception, and I haven't been out to sea for several days.

The next day, Liang Ziqiang took advantage of the good weather and got on the boat. He used a longline to fish for the bait and hung them in the holes on the edge of the basin.

They set out again towards the unknown sea. Everyone on the three boats hoped to find the same yellow croaker resources as last time, the kind that could be caught for several days in a row, and make a fortune...
