Chapter 21: Second meeting with a rich woman, an enviable mansion
"Ok?"

"Oh, yes. Didn't I tell you not to go into the sea?"

After hearing what Chen Huihong said, Wu Shuisheng finally reacted.

"Aunt, if I tell you that this fish was also caught near the reef, you will probably believe it, right?" Chen Hui smiled and said carefully.

"What do you mean?"

"It's true! The sea level rose in the afternoon, and when it receded, I saw it was surrounded by two reefs, so I quickly went down to catch it."

"."

"Look, Brother Dian Hai can catch salted fish on the beach, so it's not too much for me to catch a live fish, right?"

Chen Huihong’s eldest son, Wu Dianhai, stole a salted fish from someone else’s home when he was a child.

When he got home, he confidently told his parents that he had caught it at the beach.

When he was beaten, his young face was full of confusion, and this incident has been a joke for him since he was a child.

Chen Hui originally wanted to use Chen Huihong to just laugh it off and let the matter slip.

Unexpectedly, Chen Huihong thought about it and came to an important conclusion:
"Do you mean to admit that you have gone into the sea?"

She rolled up her sleeves, stood up and looked around the room.

Finally found the magic weapon for disciplining children from the firewood pile behind the stove - oil-free vermicelli!
It is just four or five dried thin bamboo branches, tied together with bright red wool.

It hurts so much to hit someone. It can leave several red marks on the legs, which looks terrible.

This thing only hurts the skin and flesh, not the bones.

It is a must-have parenting tool for every household.

"Aunt, I dare not show this to you. If my nephews and nieces see it, I will no longer have any prestige in front of them."

"Don't worry, they are all asleep!"

"Aunt, if you do that, I'll ride away at night! It's so dark outside, what if I break my leg?!"

"You still dare to leave?!"

Chen Huihong was so angry that she pumped the air several times, making a rustling sound.

"If you break your leg, let your aunt raise you. She's basically the one raising you anyway."

Wu Shuisheng served himself a bowl of noodles and started eating.

He also likes to watch the fun and adds fuel to the fire.

"Uncle, don't be like this!"

"I performed well this time, didn't I?" Chen Hui begged for mercy.

"Oh, that's right!"

"He was quite polite this time. He even did some work on land for the first time. Wu Guang, Wu Shun and Lao Wei all had a good impression of him."

It was also because of this that Wu Shuisheng was willing to sit down and chat with the aunt and nephew.

Even joined in the fun.

If it were in the past, he would have finished his meal in a few seconds and returned to his room, and would not have said anything more to Chen Hui.

"Really? That's more like it."

"You are all going to get married, so you should be more stable."

Even Wu Shuisheng said so, which shows that Chen Hui is really changing.

The child just wants to get better, so you can't discourage his enthusiasm.

Chen Huihong changed the direction of education from strict crackdown to gentleness.

He filled a bowl of noodles and handed it to Chen Hui.

While Chen Hui was eating noodles, she sat beside him and gave him advice earnestly.

All her brothers and sisters-in-law died in the sea, leaving her as the only child. She said she had to take care of him no matter what.

"I think you should not go out to sea next time."

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

"Is that true? Are you so obedient?"

"Aunt is the best to me. I will listen to whatever you say."

After all, it wasn't her who sailed out to sea.

As long as we can manage the relationship with Wu Shuisheng and the others, we can use them to get to know a few more fishing boat owners in Dasha Village.

After a while, I got to know them better. I could give them some gas money and let them go out to sea and take me with them. Chen Hui had a very good attitude and agreed with everything Chen Huihong said.

"Don't be so nice, just listen to me, and then keep some bad thoughts in your mind."

"If I find out, I'll give you a bowl of oil-free vermicelli."

Chen Huihong was a little uncomfortable with Chen Hui's obedience and felt uneasy.

"I used to disagree with you, and you wanted to criticize me."

"I have changed my ways and become a good person now, and you are accusing me of harboring evil intentions."

"Then I'd rather not change it."

Chen Hui put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

If you can’t do it well, just give up!
aba aba
Chen Huihong didn't know how to respond for a moment, and was afraid that she had really made Chen Hui rebellious.

He smiled and patted Chen Hui several times, "Alright, alright, I can't say anything more to you. Finish eating and go to bed."

After having supper, Chen Hui petted his dog in the yard to help digest the food, rinsed himself with cold water, and went upstairs to sleep.

Chen Huihong found a large water tank, poured all the clams and snails that Chen Hui brought back into it, and scooped some sea water into it to keep them.

Cover the frame with a bamboo dustpan to prevent the snails from crawling out.

"This child has really grown up. He even knows to touch snails when he goes to the beach."

After Chen Huihong finished packing the things, she patted the dustpan with deep emotion.

"That's not certain. It might only last for a few days." Wu Shuisheng took a shower in the yard, used an old T-shirt as a towel, and went into the house while wiping his hair.

"Hey! That's a scare."

"Hurry up and dry your hair and go to bed. You are the only one who talks too much."

Chen Huihong said this and found another old piece of clothing and threw it to him.

Men's hair is short, so it will be basically dry after wiping it twice.

After breakfast the next day, Chen Hui did not waste any time. He went to Wu Shun’s house to get the fish and rode his bike to the county town.

Chen Hui only looked at the address written by the rich woman.

When he was young, he had a good memory, and Chen Hui found the approximate location based on his memory.

I asked a few people who lived nearby.

Soon they found the home of a wealthy woman whose daughter-in-law had just given birth to a grandson weighing eight kilograms.

"Rich women's homes are just different."

A poor county in the 1980s.

The rich woman's house is a five-story villa with a small balcony on each floor, a yard, and two doors inside and outside.

Chen Hui walked up and knocked on the metal gate outside, and immediately the sound of dogs barking was heard from the house in the yard.

The barking was loud and fierce, but a petite Chihuahua came out from the dog hole beside the door.

"Oh, my dear dog ancestor, please stop barking."

The door inside was opened, and a middle-aged woman in simple clothes came out.

He looked at Chen Hui twice with curiosity and caution, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Ms. Huang Xiulian, do you live here?"

"Do you have anything to do with her?"

"I'm from Chenjia Village down below, and I'm bringing her some fish."

The person who opened the door thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a moment."

Then he went into the house and closed the door.

After waiting for a few minutes, the gate of the courtyard was opened again.

Huang Xiulian took out a brand new wallet and smiled happily when she saw that it was Chen Hui: "It's you, young man."

He walked over and opened the small door under the big iron gate for daily entry and exit, and asked with a smile: "What fish did you bring today?"

"Sea red spot, still alive."

Chen Hui said this while holding up the fish for the rich woman to see.

When I heard the word "still alive", the fish in my hand even swung its tail a few times in cooperation.
