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

A cunning glint flashed in Ma Youkao's eyes.

Without realizing it, he lowered his voice.

"You have to go and beg Niu Bayi to release Da Gui."

Ma Chunhua immediately slapped her thigh.

"Hey bro, are you dreaming? If I could ask him for help, would you be the one to do it?"

Niu Dazhuang said with distress, "That's right, Niu Bayi is a stubborn guy, and nothing can change his mind. He's determined to kill Dagui, and it's no use even if we kneel down and beg."

Ma Youkao said meaningfully, "It depends on how you ask and where you ask."

Then, he lowered his voice and said something.

After hearing this, Ma Chunhua and the others' faces lit up.

Chen Meifeng nodded repeatedly.

"I think Uncle's method is good. It's not just about asking Niu Bayi, but also about forcing him. If he doesn't agree, he'll be in a tough spot."

Snapped!

Ma Chunhua clapped her hands.

"Okay, bro, let's try it like you say. Maybe it'll actually make him listen!"

Ma Youkao nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and took a puff.

He said, "Let's try this method first. Anyway, rescuing Chen Dagui depends on yourselves, but dealing with Niu Bayi, that guy who doesn't take me seriously, is my job!"

"I need to let Lord Ma know how many eyes he has."

He slammed the cigarette he had just taken a puff of onto the ground, sending sparks flying.

……

Niu Bayi followed Niu Aiguo back to the fishing village.

Now, the sun is setting in the west.

He went to the He family's house and got a free meal.

Of course, tonight will be another feast of fish and meat.

Let alone 1984, even decades later, it would still be considered a feast.

She's hooked a rich husband! The whole family will definitely treat Niu Bayi to the best food and drink.

After finishing their meal, He Rong and He Laifu were about to go inside to sleep.

We have to get up at two in the morning to go out to sea to fish.

They were incredibly excited about getting the new fishing boat.

Niu Bayi thought for a moment, then silently slipped out, found a bottle, and filled it with seawater from his spatial dimension.

Once inside, he stuffed it into He Laifu's hand.

"Brother-in-law, this is my specially made bait water. When you get to the place where you set the net, pour this bait water into the sea. Maybe it will attract a school of fish and you can catch a lot of fish in one net."

He Laifu was skeptical, but he opened the stopper and smelled it.

"This is just seawater, but it smells like beef bone broth. It's quite pleasant. Let me try it."

He took a small sip, then his eyes lit up.

"Wow, this bait water really tastes like bone broth, it's quite delicious, I'll have a couple more sips."

Then, he gulped down two more big mouthfuls.

Niu Bayi was completely dumbfounded.

With just those two large openings, a third of the seawater inside the bottle was gone.

"Brother-in-law, what are you drinking! This is for attracting fish, not for you to drink. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"

He complained.

He Laifu wiped his mouth and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh dear, I almost drank it all. Okay, once we're out at sea, let's see if your bait water really works."

He carefully placed the bottle of bait water, then went back to his room to sleep.

Zhang Xiuli was also lecturing He Zhenzhen from the side.

"You should go back to your room and get some sleep. Get up early tomorrow and we'll go to the mudflats over at Dongwangjiao!"

"I heard that there are a lot of ark shells there after the tide goes out these days. They're a good thing. If you dig up a lot, bring them back, dry them, and sell them for a good price."

The ark clam is also called the blood clam or the blood snail.

Because the meat contains heme, the juices turn red after cooking.

Therefore, it has this somewhat frightening-sounding name.

However, it has thick flesh and a delicious flavor, and it is especially delicious when fresh, whether used to make soup or stir-fry.

It has a unique flavor when dried, and it can indeed sell for a good price.

According to the principle of "like cures like," I've heard that ark shells are the best for replenishing blood in women.

In fishing villages, men go out to sea to fish, while women usually take their children to the mudflats at low tide to dig up these things to supplement the family income.

He Zhenzhen had a bitter face.

"Mom, Bayi is so good at making money, let's not worry about this little bit of money. Just let me sleep in. I want to go to the beach with Bayi later."

"Sitting together, whispering secrets."

Zhang Xiuli immediately glared at him.

"Can't we make small money? We should make big money, and we should make small money too. Otherwise, what's the point of just wandering around aimlessly every day?"

"Also, although your family has agreed to your marriage to Bayi and accepted the betrothal gifts, don't get too intimate. Otherwise, if others see you, they'll gossip, saying things like, 'Look at that Niu Bayi, and He Zhenzhen!'"

"They're not even married yet, but they're inseparable from morning till night. I have no idea what's going on between them."

"You absolutely mustn't get married while heavily pregnant, or you'll completely disgrace our family!"

Zhang Xiuli is similar to Niu Aiguo; both are rather old-fashioned.

Old tradition.

This long lecture left He Zhenzhen so embarrassed that she almost buried her flushed face in her heart.

She turned her head and muttered to herself.

"Look, my mom keeps scolding me, you...you help me scold her a few times!"

Niu Ba glared at him, clearly unwilling.

"You might as well knock me out with a stick! Making me curse my future mother-in-law is because I don't want her to marry you to me."

Zhang Xiuli nodded, suppressing a laugh.

"That's right, that's right. Bayi is much more sensible than you. You're absolutely right."

He Zhenzhen pouted, feeling wronged, and nuzzled Niu Bayi intermittently with her shoulder.

Anyway, it's just so hard to part ways.

I've heard that people in the throes of new love are all like this.

Niu Bayi suppressed a laugh and said, "Zhenzhen, just listen to your mother and get some rest. Tomorrow morning, when you get up, come and wake me up, and I'll go with you to Dongwangjiao to dig for ark shells!"

"Don't underestimate the value of ark clam digging compared to fishing. If you find a lot of large ark clams, they can be quite valuable and make you a small fortune."

"Didn't you say you wanted to earn a dowry for yourself? This is a good prospect for earning a dowry."

He Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She stretched out her two little hands and started rubbing Niu Bayi's face all over.

"Ba Yi speaks so nicely. The way you said it makes me want to go to sleep right away and sleep until the early morning, then go dig for ark shells with you. Unlike my mom, whatever she asks me to do, I just want to be lazy and not do it."

"Whatever August 1st asks me to do, I'll do it with full enthusiasm!"

Zhang Xiuli snapped, "Oh dear, I've raised you with such care, and you're not even married yet, and all you care about is your future husband, not your old mother."

"To put it another way, you're prioritizing your wife over your mother!"

He Zhenzhen immediately raised her two little hands and covered her ears.

"I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense!"

Enraged, Zhang Xiuli immediately grabbed a broom and chased He Zhenzhen away, causing her to scream and waile.

"What are you, you bastard? What are you, you bastard?!"

When Niu Ba saw his future mother-in-law hitting his future wife, he didn't dare to do anything. He could only suppress his laughter and quickly slip away.

He also took a large bucket from the He family's house, ran to the well, filled the bucket with water, and then carried it back to the new fishing boat.

I took a nice, relaxing shower.

Then, he lay down on the bed, and with a thought, he entered the space of the ocean.

Outside it was pitch black, but inside it was always blue sky and white clouds, plus the azure sea and gently undulating waves, which made people feel comfortable.

However, Niu Bayi found it rather monotonous, as he couldn't find any fish no matter how he looked around.

Suddenly, he remembered the two abalones that he had left there earlier, neither too big nor too small.

With a thought, Niu Bayi was quickly taken aback!
