Chapter 209 Going home
Su Nuannuan's expression softened after hearing Jin Ci's explanation.

If he were Jin Ci's brother, Su Nuannuan could accept it.

Su Nuannuan wasn't worried about others following Jin Ci; she was worried about getting herself into trouble. With only two days left before leaving the island, Su Nuannuan didn't want to cause herself any trouble.

Since they were Jin Ci's cousins, Su Nuannuan had no more reservations and decided to settle the bill first.

Seeing that Jin Ci was about to say something, Su Nuannuan waved her hand and said...

"I understand. But when you leave later, take them all with you."

Su Nuannuan didn't explain further. Jin Ci didn't ask any more questions either, and simply nodded.

Su Nuannuan was very satisfied with Jin Ci's attitude and went straight to the point, asking questions.

"How many kilograms of seafood are there in total, and what is the purchase price?"

Upon seeing this, Jin Ci straightened his expression and began to answer Su Nuannuan's question.

"We bought more seafood today than yesterday, a total of 2700 jin. The purchase price was 620 yuan."

Ever since Jin Ci gave the money to the uncle and aunt who were delivering the seafood yesterday, they haven't slept a wink, spending the entire night fishing for seafood. The children and elderly in the family also stayed up, putting the seafood into large basins to keep it fresh as soon as it was brought up.

There was no other way; Su Nuannuan had given them far too much. If they transported the seafood inland to sell, after deducting costs and losses along the way, they wouldn't make much money. Not to mention the villages near the island—those people were also their competitors.

Therefore, after seeing the money, they worked even harder, wishing the nights could last forever.

The few people Su Nuannuan noticed hiding in the distance at the beginning were her family members who had been specially sent to help Jin Ci move the goods.

Needless to say, Jin Ci was even more dedicated to buying seafood after easily earning two hundred yuan.

When purchasing seafood, he specifically instructed that some small fish, shrimp, and crabs be picked out by Jin Ci.

Although Su Nuannuan was unaware of the hard work and dedication Jin Ci had put in, just by looking at the high-quality seafood, she knew that Jin Ci must have put a lot of effort into it.

She did the math in her head: besides the 100 yuan she'd paid in advance yesterday, Su Nuannuan still needed to pay 520 yuan. Adding Jin Ci's service fee, that came to 270 yuan.

This time, Su Nuannuan needs to give a total of 790 yuan.

Su Nuannuan felt a pang of heartache when she saw that she had just spent several hundred yuan.

This is all money I earned through hard work!
However, thinking that she could continue to earn money through translation after school started, she didn't care so much about the money she spent.

Money is meant to be spent, isn't it?

Su Nuannuan handed 790 yuan to Jin Ci and said.

"It's 790 yuan in total, you can count it."

During the last transaction, Jin Ci saw so much money for the first time, and without counting it, she just left.

If it weren't for Su Nuannuan's loyalty, Jin Ci would have been easily taken advantage of.

When Jin Yao found out, he advised Jin Ci to count the money carefully after receiving it.

Therefore, in this transaction, Jin Ci started counting the money right in front of Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan didn't mind. After handing the money to Jin Ci, she began to inspect the seafood in the large basins.

She noticed that there were more sea fish this time. Moreover, they were all rare and high-end ingredients. Su Nuannuan was pleasantly surprised when she saw this.

Unfortunately, there was no tuna.

Then, Su Nuannuan thought about the size of the tuna and gave up the idea of ​​asking Jin Ci to help buy it.

While Su Nuannuan was making her rounds, Jin Ci finished counting the banknotes.

He took out his own 270 yuan and put it in the innermost pocket of his shirt. He wrapped the rest of the money in a piece of cotton cloth and put it in his pocket.

After counting the money, Jin Ci said to Su Nuannuan.

"Brother Dashan, the money is correct. I'm leaving now."

Su Nuannuan nodded and said.

"Remember to take your cousins ​​with you." After saying that, Su Nuannuan added.

"By the way, tomorrow is the last day."

Just by looking at the seafood, Su Nuannuan knew that Jin Ci's uncles and aunts must have been fishing all night yesterday.

Although Su Nuannuan felt it was very hard work, she wouldn't stop them. She knew this was their only chance in decades to make a lot of money.

Jin Ci understood Su Nuannuan's reminder and was very grateful.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Dashan."

After saying that, Jin Ci ran towards the large black reef where the person was hiding.

Su Nuannuan didn't act immediately, but instead used her mental power to observe the movements in the distance. Only after they left did Su Nuannuan begin to store all the seafood into her spatial storage.

After finishing, Su Nuannuan did not rush to leave.

Worried that those people might return, Su Nuannuan took out a book from her spatial storage and read it quietly.

Half an hour later, Su Nuannuan finally couldn't stand the cold morning wind anymore. She put the book into her spatial storage and left the place.

After returning home, Su Nuannuan had already changed back into her own clothes.

The two older sisters and their husbands had already gotten used to Su Nuannuan getting up early these past few days.

While eating breakfast, Wen Wuqi brought up the matter of the train tickets.

"Mom, I've already booked train tickets for you for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. You can start preparing in the next couple of days."

After saying that, Wen Wuqi handed the five train tickets from his pocket to Chen Xiuting.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it.

Oh wow, there are five sleeper berths.

The thought of not having to sleep sitting up made Su Nuannuan feel much better.

Chen Xiuting was very disapproving when she saw that it was a sleeper berth.

"A hard seat is fine. Why waste money on sleeper tickets? Xiao Qian, Wu Qi, you two should exchange your sleeper tickets for seat tickets tomorrow."

Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi, of course, disagreed. Their mother-in-law had come all this way, so they naturally wanted to be filial to her.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian also disagreed with this.

Since their mother had come all this way, they naturally wanted to treat her well. After this trip, they didn't know when they would see each other again.

The sleeper berths were also arranged and booked specifically by both parties.

Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi had no objections. The two even called home that night to book five sleeper berths.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian pestered Chen Xiuting with sweet words. In the end, they got Chen Xiuting to agree to use the five sleeper berths.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Chen Xiuting couldn't resist Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian's sweet talk. Otherwise, she would have suffered when she returned.

The tickets are booked, and now everyone starts packing.

Although they were leaving the day after tomorrow, after being away for so many days, Chen Xiuting and the three Su brothers all missed home very much.

Su Nuannuan was the same. However, she didn't have many things, so it was relatively easy for her to pack.

The dried squid, dried octopus, dried cuttlefish, etc. that Chen Xiuting dried a few days ago have all been dehydrated and have shrunk to more than half their original size.

She packed all the dried seafood into bags.

Besides these, there's also some kelp, seaweed, and dried shrimp, which Chen Xiuting plans to dry for another two days. She'll collect them early the day after tomorrow.

The three Su brothers didn't have anything to bring. So, they helped Chen Xiuting pack.
