He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

This man is called Lao Wu. He comes from town and specializes in buying seafood.

Every day at dawn, he would drive his small truck here to collect the goods.

Moreover, they only accept high-quality goods.

Niu Bayi recognized him and immediately greeted him.

"Boss Wu, you've come at the right time. Bring the truck over here. Give me a fair price, and if it's right, I'll sell you all the abalone."

Old Wu was stunned: "Huh? You hit him?"

Without needing Niu Bayi's reply, He Zhenzhen proudly held her head high and puffed out her chest.

"Is that even a question?"

Old Wu immediately nodded and agreed, then turned around and ran happily to the shore to drive his small truck.

These abalone are so good, we have to buy them! Bring the car over first!

Niu Bayi then raised his voice and said, "Uncle He, your boat has four wooden barrels, but there are still quite a few abalones in the hold. See if you can borrow a few more barrels from someone else and fill them all up!"

He Rong quickly shouted, "Everyone, lend me a wooden bucket, quick!"

Soon, several wooden buckets were handed to Niu Bayi and He Zhenzhen.

The two returned to the cabin and sorted the abalone of all sizes into wooden barrels.

This time, four whole buckets were filled.

Eight buckets of abalone were placed on the long embankment, overflowing with them.

Who wouldn't gasp in shock after seeing this?

Normally, when you go out to sea, you can only get a few pounds of abalone if you have seven or eight heads or less.

But now, it's a huge bucket! A huge bucket!

Old Wu drove over in his small truck, and when he saw so many abalone, he was so excited that he danced with joy.

Niu Bayi said, "Boss Wu, name your price. I've already divided the abalone by the piece, and you can check it first."

Old Wu immediately shook his head.

"No need to check, can't I tell from these abalones? They're all very fresh and excellent. Although there are no ear abalone or lamb abalone, they're all nine-hole abalone, but they're still amazing."

"In all my years of fishing, this is the first time I've seen so many abalone!"

He Rong said in a muffled voice, "Hurry up and name a price. Don't try to fool us. We know exactly how much it's worth."

Old Wu nodded immediately, and then began to calculate methodically.

"Abalone with eight to ten heads is 15 yuan per catty."

"Six-headed and seven-headed abalone, 20 yuan per catty."

"Five-head abalone are sold individually, 4 yuan each."

"Four-head abalone are also sold individually, 5 yuan each."

Then he asked, "How's the price? It's totally in line with the market. Also, I'll give you an extra 100 yuan subsidy."

He hardened his heart and raised a finger.

The only fear is that Niu Bayi won't sell.

Niu Bayi grinned when he heard this.

"There's still a 100 yuan subsidy?"

Then he nodded.

"Okay, this price is reasonable, let's sell it like this."

"Good!" Old Wu clapped his hands. "Now weigh them and count them."

He weighed the abalone with the largest head first.

"These abalone with eight to ten heads weigh a total of sixty catties. At 15 yuan per catty, that's 900 yuan."

The price of just the first layer alone made everyone around gasp in shock.

No matter who it was, their faces revealed a mixture of envy and jealousy.

That's a whole 900 yuan!

Many people can't earn that much in a year.

Then, they counted six-head abalone and seven-head abalone.

Fifty-five jin, at 20 yuan per jin, that's 1100 yuan.

Adding that to what I had before, I've got 2000 yuan.

There are also five-head abalone, sold individually, 130 in total, at 4 yuan each, which is 520 yuan.

Four-headed abalone are also sold individually; ninety abalone cost 450 yuan.

Add to that the 100 yuan subsidy, and the number is quite staggering!

Ma Chunhua was really good at calculations; she quickly shouted it out.

"3070 yuan! That's 3070 yuan in total! Hahaha... My son Niu Bayi is so good at making money, truly worthy of being a member of the Niu family!"

She's shouting like she's Niu Bayi's biological mother.

Niu Ba felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, but he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Ma Chunhua.

At this moment, Old Wu also nodded.

"That's right, it's 3070 yuan in total. What do you think, sir?"

Niu Bayi naturally knew roughly how much the abalone he had dug up was worth.

Around three thousand yuan is fine, I'll just nod.

"Okay, deal!"

Old Wu's face was beaming with smiles.

With so many abalone, you could make a fortune reselling them.

Old Wu was quite wealthy; he grabbed the shoulder bag from his waist, and with a ripping sound, unzipped it.

Inside, stacks of large denominations of unity appeared.

He generously took out three stacks and handed them to Niu Bayi one by one.

"Hey buddy, take this first, I'll count out seven more for you."

When Niu Bayi received the three stacks of ten-yuan notes, everyone's eyes were fixed on the banknotes in his hand.

In particular, Niu Dazhuang, Ma Chunhua, Chen Dagui, and Chen Meifeng.

It seems like this triple-layered unity belongs to them.

Old Wu then counted out seven more ten-yuan bills and handed them over.

He said cheerfully, "3070 yuan, buddy, keep it. If you need abalone or other big orders in the future, remember to look me up. I have a big appetite, I can swallow any size of goods."

Niu Bayi agreed first.

"OK!"

But he knew that this was Old Wu coming to the fishing village dock to collect goods, and that was the price.

If he were to sell his goods in the town or county himself, he would earn far more.

The surrounding fishermen stared intently at Niu Bayi, as if they were getting to know a completely new person.

"Bayi, weren't you sick to the bone? How did you suddenly become so healthy? Not only are you completely cured, but you can even go out to sea to fish!"

"Going out to sea to fish is one thing, but this trip is worth more than all of us combined, and you caught so many abalone! I'm not very cultured, so all I can say is, you're really awesome!"

"Just now, everyone looked down on Bayi, thinking that he was a sickly guy who was destined to die fishing at sea. But not only did he come back, he also brought back so many abalone. From now on, I admire no one but Bayi!"

……

These words made He Zhenzhen beam with joy, and she couldn't help but shout.

"I stole my family's boat to fish with Bayi. I knew he was trustworthy and would definitely bring back a lot of fish! And make a lot of money! You all need to praise me, praise me for having good judgment!"

The group of fishermen immediately began praising He Zhenzhen.

Many even praised her for her discerning eye in choosing such an amazing person as her partner.

Nobody thought she and Niu Bayi would be a good match before.

But now it has been proven that she was farsighted.

He Zhenzhen was so flattered that she was practically floating on air.

He turned his head and looked at her family with an arrogant air.

"Dad! Mom! Brother!"

"See? Bayi is amazing. He earned over three thousand yuan on just one trip out to sea. I remember the most you guys ever earned on a trip was only five hundred yuan, right?"

"But that was several years ago."

"Dad, are you going to hit me again?"

He Rong quickly shook his head.

"I'm not hitting her anymore. I love my daughter so much, I can't even bear to look after her."

He Zhenzhen asked, "Mom, are you going to scold me again?"

Zhang Xiuli also hurriedly shook her head.

"Silly child, why would your mother scold you? You made a lot of money for the family in just one night. It was a great opportunity to borrow this boat."

He Zhenzhen then asked, "Brother, what about you?"

He Laifu said seriously, "Sis, you've borrowed this boat perfectly. I think you and Bayi are a perfect match. If Mom and Dad don't let you be with Bayi, they'll force you to marry so-and-so—"

"I'll be the first to disagree!"

He Zhenzhen laughed triumphantly.

The laughter was so beautiful, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Niu Bayi suddenly frowned and quickly dodged.

What are you doing?

Suddenly, Ma Chunhua darted forward with lightning speed, trying to grab the wad of money from his hand!
