After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

While Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan were cleaning up their fishing nets, Linlin handed them a lunchbox filled with food she had prepared, so they wouldn't feel cold even in the summer.

Yan Yuan took the lunchbox. "Do you want to come with us?"

"what?"

Linlin looked up slightly, her expression blank.

Jiang Chengzhou, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "That's right, don't you like the sea? Come with us today."

Linlin picked at her fingers. "Won't it be inconvenient?"

"No," Yan Yuan replied quickly.

Jiang Chengzhou pushed his younger sister into the house, "Go, take the peach shortbread you bought earlier, you can eat it on the boat."

If Yan Yuan hadn't brought it up this time, Jiang Chengzhou would have almost forgotten that his sister hadn't gone out much since she moved in.

Linlin was quite excited and quickly went to get the peach shortbread.

They were already preparing to set off before it was even completely dark.

It was Linlin's first time at sea. She curiously leaned over the gunwale and dipped her hand into the water. The seawater flowed through her fingers and felt slightly cool.

Because of the cover of night, she rarely showed her face like this.

The wind blew her hair back, like a painting having its curtain lifted to reveal a stunningly beautiful face.

Yan Yuan was tending to the nets at the stern, keeping an eye on her out of the corner of his eye.

Linlin seemed to sense something and turned her head to look in his direction.

Realizing that Yan Yuan was watching him, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Yan Yuan looked away and continued to sort through the net in his hands, his movements a little clumsy. "You can play in the water, but don't lean out too far."

He did not criticize himself.

Linlin's eyelashes trembled, and she secretly glanced at him.

Yan Yuan had already lowered his head to work on the net.

Linlin smiled and reached out her hand again, gently stirring the water.

After the boat had been sailing for about an hour, Jiang Chengzhou reduced its speed.

It was pitch black all around, but the lights of other ships could be seen in the distance.

Yan Yuan cast the net out, and the boat continued to move forward, leaving only a buoy rope trailing behind the stern.

After all the nets have been cast, the boat is then driven to the spot where the nets were cast, ready to pull them in.

This cycle repeats itself, requiring a whole night to complete.

Linlin wasn't spoiled; she was there to work too. When Yan Yuan and Jiang Chengzhou were preparing to pull the net, Linlin imitated them and strained hard from behind.

Neither of them stopped them; they exchanged a glance, a hint of a smile flashing in their eyes.

After pulling twice, the girl looked somewhat exhausted.

Yan Yuandao said, "You take the fish that are caught in the net off the hook. We don't need you here anymore."

Linlin just didn't want to hold them back, so upon hearing this, she quickly returned to the center of the boat.

Not every net will catch fish; the first two nets only caught a few small, worthless fish.

Linlin looked even more nervous than Yan Yuan and Jiang Chengzhou, staring worriedly at the stern of the boat.

Fortunately, the next few nets yielded good results, with a large rockfish and several large yellow croakers.

Jiang Chengzhou muttered, "Not bad, not bad, we've made back the gas money, the rest is profit."

Linlin's eyes lit up, and her little face flushed slightly.

This continued all night. Linlin took a nap in the middle, and neither of the two men disturbed her as they quietly closed the net.

When Linlin woke up again, it was already dawn.

When Linlin woke up, she found herself leaning against the cabin wall with a coat covering her.

She sat up dazedly, rubbed her eyes, and looked inexplicably pitiful.

Yan Yuan moved forward, and Jiang Chengzhou had already squatted down in front of Linlin, smiling as he reached out and pinched her cheek. "You can fall asleep even with all this shaking?"

His hands were covered in calluses from years of netting, rough as sandpaper. When he gently pinched them, a faint red mark immediately appeared on Linlin's fair cheek.

She seemed oblivious to her own conscious thought, and obediently nodded to Jiang Chengzhou, "Mm."

Jiang Chengzhou withdrew his hand, looked at the red mark, and sighed, "Look at you, a young girl, why is your skin so delicate? You need to go out and get some sun more often, tan your skin a bit, make it rougher, understand?"

"it is good."

Linlin nodded obediently.

She raised her hand to touch her face and lowered her eyes.

She also felt that her appearance wasn't good. Her brother was right; it would be better if she were darker, rougher, and uglier.

Yan Yuan was sorting through the fish catch at the foot of the bed when he overheard the siblings' conversation and was completely baffled.

Is that correct?

After collecting the last crab trap, which was full of crabs and mantis shrimp, Yan Yuan put it in a separate bucket to keep it.

There were still quite a few people waiting on the shore, and Yan Yuan quickly sold all the fish.

Linlin looked at the bucket of crabs and mantis shrimp that hadn't been touched and felt a little anxious, but she didn't dare to speak up.

She stood guard by the boat. When Yan Yuan returned from delivering goods, he saw her looking extremely anxious, his face practically steaming. "What's wrong? What happened? Did someone bully you?"

Linlin shook her head, pointed to the crab bucket, and whispered, "Brother Yuan, these haven't sold."

Yan Yuan's lips curled slightly. "We'll keep these for ourselves."

Linlin nodded, then mustered her courage and bit her lip, saying, "Crabs and mantis shrimp are very expensive, so why don't we just sell them?"

Linlin knew that Yan Yuan and Jiang Chengzhou were raising money to open a shop.

We should try to make as much money as possible from this.

Yan Yuan's hands were itching to pat her head like Cheng Zhou had, but he refrained from doing so. "It won't make a difference."

Linlin then fell silent.

It's been almost a month since Linlin left the Zhou family.

Song Fang originally thought that she was just acting out of anger, and since she had nowhere to go, she would eventually come back obediently.

And what's wrong with the guy she introduced to her?

The 39-year-old quartermaster has a child in high school who doesn't require her attention.

For an orphan like her to marry such a man is already a blessing.

But as the days went by, Linlin never came back.

The matchmaker has come to the house several times, and Song Fang has no way to explain it to them.

Moreover, with no one to do the housework and no one to help her youngest son with his homework, Song Fang felt overwhelmed.

She didn't dare to go looking for him openly.

Tearing up Linlin's college acceptance letter and forcing her to marry an old man—it doesn't sound good to outsiders.

If it damages Zhou Jianjun's reputation, Zhou Jianjun will definitely not let her off the hook.

It wasn't until someone told her that they seemed to have seen Linlin with two fishermen and asked her what was going on.

She was introducing someone to Linlin, and of course she wouldn't admit it was Linlin. "You must be mistaken. Zhou Lin has been staying home the whole time; she hasn't gone out."

"Really?" someone asked, tiptoeing into the house. "Where is it?"

Song Fang pushed the person out, "What's it to you? Mind your own business!"

Song Fang panicked; that person must be Linlin.

No wonder she's the daughter of a vixen; she seduced a man as soon as she went out.

Song Fang called Zhou Yue over, "Go and call Zhou Lin back, tell her there's something at home that needs to talk to her."

Zhou Yue is currently secretly dating Gu Zhiyuan and has no intention of going to see that older sister. "I'm not going!"

Song Fang slapped her, "If you don't go, don't ever leave the house again!"

Zhou Yue, seething with resentment, turned and went to the fishing village by the sea.
