Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 27: The Stabbing Incident
"Silly boy, let's get on the boat and start catching snakehead fish. Let's scoop some water from the cabin and release the fish." He put the matter aside for the time being.

Our cement boat has just been delivered to the crucian carp pond, and it’s really troublesome that we don’t have a boat to use here.

The two got on the boat. Hanwaer first rowed the boat to help him take off the lure, and then began to scoop water.

Qin Dahe checked the thunder frog. He didn't have a special leader line for catching black fish, so he couldn't do it well. The hooks were exposed and often got caught on branches and water plants.

He readjusted it and managed to hide the fishhook a little inside the frog, but a lot of it was still exposed.

He continued to fish, and his target was the edge of the purslane and the floating area. After a while, black fish started to be caught here again.

At this moment, in the fields behind the Qin family, Qin's father and mother were playing with plum blossom poles.

There are three acres of land here, and another three or four acres in other places. It will take at least three days for two people to finish the work. There is also silt to be cleaned up, so the workload is really not small.

"I'm so tired, I should have called the kid up." Qin's father wiped the sweat off his face and took a sip from his water bottle. "Why should that kid go fishing while I work at home?"

"Tsk, are you jealous of your son?" Qin's mother looked at her husband speechlessly. She didn't usually talk so much while working. She continued, "Abao just came back and he's still excited. Let him have some fun. Besides, he makes money fishing."

“I make money fishing too.”

"Come on, forget it. When you and Lao Liu went to Dawan together, I used up over ten pounds of corn to catch a bream." After a pause, she continued, "My son can fish and weld, so if he wants to get something out of the fields, it's just a small task for the two of us."

The old man muttered a few words and stopped talking.

If they want to make money, they still have to use electric fishing and nets. It is nonsense to expect to make money by fishing. My son is really good in this regard.

Within two days of coming back, I made more than a thousand yuan from fishing in one day. It was really shocking.

"Also, what's going on with Laowu? Why is he teaching so detailed? Did you give him money?" Qin's mother was a little confused. She knew her husband's friends and they were very close, but not to this extent.

"Even if you gave him 10,000, he wouldn't teach me that." Qin's father was proud for a moment, then continued, "Last year, he went to the county to sell fish and someone yelled at him for over 3,000. He got so angry that he took a knife and started a fight, and he was almost hacked to death."

Having said that, he felt a little guilty.

"Keep talking?"

"."

Seeing her man's arrogant look, she knew something must be wrong and asked him immediately.

After repeated pressure, Qin's father finally told the story.

It turned out that he and Lao Zhang had come together to help Lao Wu. When they learned that Lao Wu was seriously injured by someone, they took a knife and went to the county vegetable market without saying a word. They cut off the arm of the fish stall owner and threatened that if he didn't get the money back, they would kill his children.

This was not something a man of his age should do, but the three of them had been friends for more than 20 years, so he took advantage of his knowledge and went for it.

Besides, what the other party did was inappropriate in itself, and the county town was in chaos in 99. Naturally, the two men would not show mercy when they found an opportunity to take action.

"You're such a grown-up, and you're still helping others to kill. Damn it." Mother Qin slapped him on the shoulder, and kicked him again out of anger.

"What's the value of this little skill he learned? My son can weld and cut. If it doesn't work out, we can sponsor each other to open a car repair shop. There's no need to risk our lives." Qin's mother became more and more angry and scared.

He ripped off the man's arm. Luckily, the man was a gangster and didn't go to the police station. Otherwise, this arrogant man would definitely be put in jail, and his family would be ashamed. "It's okay, right? Besides, Lao Zhang had already sharpened the knife, so it would be inappropriate for me not to go," Qin's father said guiltily.

There was a follow-up to this incident. Someone came to the town to seek revenge. Nearly ten people came to block them and found out everything about Lao Wu's stall.

However, his in-laws had just brought people back to collect debts. The three of them ran for a while, and when they met his in-laws, they quickly asked for help.

At this time, the little grandson was very fat. The father-in-law treated his grandson as his life. How could he ignore the matter when he encountered the father-in-law? Then he started to fight back.

The three old men were very fierce. They took the lead in charging and broke up the other side.

After finishing the matter, he also reminded his father-in-law to keep it confidential and not let his family know. Naturally, his father-in-law nodded quickly.

They were living outside and could encounter anything, so how could they tell their families? The group of men also promised, and then Lao Wu paid for a table in the town.

A week later, the vegetable boss from the county vegetable market sent the money and gave an additional 1500 yuan for medicine. The matter was resolved satisfactorily.

The other party is also afraid. For the sake of these few thousand dollars, if a few old men really rush to his house, he will not be able to stop them at all.

He is a powerful warrior and a local tyrant, so he will naturally give in if he can't be provoked.

"I'm telling you, don't lead Abao astray. His brothers also obey him. If anything happens, I will never forgive you." Mother Qin put her hands on her hips and stopped working.

At this time, pirated copies of the Young and Dangerous trilogy were rampant in mainland China, and even many local TV stations were broadcasting the unedited version, which had a huge impact on public security.

The situation in the countryside was not so bad, but in the town, there were a few young people who were probably too angry and went to the vegetable market with machetes to collect protection fees. They were beaten several times with carrying poles by a group of old men in their forties and fifties before they stopped.

The inland is not Hong Kong Island. The older men here have all received militia training and cannot be intimidated by a few thugs.

"Of course, you know our child is very well behaved."

Upon hearing this, Qin's mother calmed down a little. Her child has been well-behaved since he was young, much better than his father.

"Lan'er, get to work. You can't just rely on me." The old man pulled the cotton stalks miserably and looked at his wife.

"Get out. You are working on these three acres of land by yourself. I am so angry." He said and started scolding again.

Qin's father complained in his heart while working, "Why not just make up a random excuse? Damn it, you've already said half of it."

Even with the help of tools, pulling out the cotton stalks is still very strenuous, and they then have to be bundled and transported. One person can't even straighten his back after working for several days.

However, Qin's mother was just saying that out of anger. She drank two sips of water and then started working together silently.

My husband is a restless person. After getting into trouble in Jinling, he returned to his hometown. Although he fought a lot of fights, he also made a lot of money.

It was wrong to help Lao Wu chop people, but being able to fight is a big plus for a man in the countryside. At least no one dares to bully his family.

The public security in rural areas is pretty good now, but not as good as imagined. Although there are no fights over water and land, there are still other frictions.

Stealing nets and cotton happens frequently, but no one dares to do such things at home. I guess the man's reputation plays a role.
