Chapter 210: Your stories have spread all over the village
"Catch five or ten big lobsters, eh? Last time, how much did you tell Sister Juanjuan to pay for each one?"

An Wenjing didn't remember it for a moment.

I felt like the answer was at the tip of my throat, but I couldn't say it.

"A two-pound lobster, and you want five or ten at a time?"

Chen Hui smiled and added in his mind: "Then we can only rely on breeding technology."

"If you want to daydream, of course you have to go somewhere big." An Wenjing said with a smile.

The first and fifteenth day of every month are good days for fishing.

On this day, the villagers would put their work in the mountains aside and go to the beach to pan for gold first.

When Chen Hui and An Wenjing arrived, there were already quite a few people on the reef.

Each of them lowered their heads and turned over the small rocks on the shore, or used long iron pliers to poke under the piles of rocks that could not be turned over.

Chen Hui calmed down and felt it carefully.

I couldn't help but let out a long "Wow"

"What's wrong?" An Wenjing asked, tilting her head.

"so many people!"

"Hey, isn't that our mom and Wen Yi?" Chen Hui pointed at a mother and daughter in the crowd.

An Wenjing stretched her neck to look, then waved and shouted, "Mom! Wen Yi!"

"Ah?! Sister!"

An Wenyi looked up and saw people, and excitedly jumped up among the rocks.

A wave swept up and almost knocked her down.

"Be careful, go slower!" Lin Jiao shouted as she followed over worriedly.

The sisters' calls to each other immediately attracted the attention of their fellow villagers who were going to the sea.

"Chen Hui, you're here to catch fish too!?"

"Hey, Chen Hui is so capable now, why is he still here to catch fish?"

"Chen Hui, go to your aunt's house and get some pickles when you get back. They were pickled two months ago and are now ready to eat."

"Wen Jing is so lucky. After getting married, every time I see her, she is wearing new clothes!"

Chen Hui was a little confused by the enthusiasm of his fellow villagers.

Although my reputation has gradually improved after I got married.

When meeting people in the village, everyone dares to nod and say hello to each other, unlike before when people didn't dare to look me in the eye, for fear that they would be asked to eat for free if they made eye contact.

But, it's not necessary to be so enthusiastic.

"Oh! Sister!" An Wenyi stumbled over, hugged An Wenjing and rubbed her belly.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"What happened at the beach today? Why are they so enthusiastic?" Chen Hui asked puzzled.

An Wenjing's home is very close to the Bagua Central Bridge in the village.

Even if you don't specifically ask, you will hear some rumors.

"I still want to ask you."

"What's going on? People on the bridge were talking about you yesterday. They said that a guest who looked very wealthy came to your house."

"He also said that he heard you guys chatting and that you made 500 yuan in one day!"

"After dinner yesterday, several people came to me to ask about this matter. I was completely confused."

After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Is what they said true?"

Before Chen Hui could answer, the wives of Chen Da and Chen San came over.

Chen's eldest daughter-in-law looked at Chen Hui and asked with a smile: "Chen Hui, how did you make that 500 yuan?"

Chen San's wife cooperated at the right time and launched a wave of moral kidnapping:
"We are all from the same village. Our Ah San is always very caring towards you. You can't hide the way to make money."

"Where did I take care of you?" An Wenjing muttered softly. Lin Jiao pulled her and shook her head.

"Mrs. Chen, what are you talking about? What five hundred yuan?" Chen Hui pretended to be stupid.

"Hey? I heard it with my own ears. When you sent those people away yesterday, they said you made 500 yuan from them!"

After saying this, Mrs. Chen nudged Mrs. Chen San with her elbow and asked, "Really?!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we both heard it!" Chen San's wife nodded in agreement.

Chen Hui remembered.

Yesterday, when An Wenjing and I saw Huang Xiulian and the others off, we did pass by the Chen family's sisters-in-law while chatting and laughing on the way.

"Hey, so that's it."

"Mrs. Chen, how come your ears don't work well at such a young age? What five hundred yuan? That's five yuan!"

Chen Hui smiled and spoke with great confidence.

Seeing the two people's suspicious faces, he grabbed the more innocent Chen San's wife and asked, "Third sister-in-law, you and the three of you run around the mountains and the sea every day. Can you earn 500 yuan a year?"

When the fellow villagers who were going to the beach saw that the Chen family's daughter-in-law was coming to find Chen Hui, they also came to join in the fun.

There are already seven or eight people standing nearby.

Chen San's wife looked around, waved her hand awkwardly and said, "I don't even dare to think about making 500. It's good enough if I can make 50."

"Well, that's it!"

"What can I sell to others that can earn you and your wife ten years' worth of money in one go? Selling my body wouldn't even be enough!"

Chen Hui followed what Chen San's wife said.

The people watching looked at each other, then at Chen Hui.

That makes sense!
The group of people suddenly lost their enthusiasm to get close to each other. They joked with Chen Da's wife and Chen San's wife, talked and laughed, and then went to play with the sea on their own.

Chen San's wife smiled awkwardly and turned away.

Chen's eldest daughter-in-law followed him for a few steps, then turned back to Chen Hui and whispered, "Chen Hui, you can fool her but you can't fool me. I heard it clearly yesterday, it was five hundred yuan!"

After saying this, he didn't give Chen Hui a chance to argue, and turned around and trotted away.

"What's going on? Tell me the truth."

Lin Jiao listened to gossip all night yesterday, and now she heard some more. She couldn't contain her curiosity.

"Mom, it's really five dollars! Who can I ask for five hundred?"

"Let's go and look for snails and see if five hundred dollars can float out of the sea!"

An Wenjing said this and pulled Lin Jiao away.

The tide was receding further and further, and more and more villagers came to the beach to catch fish, and the rocky beach was full of people.

It's not suitable to go to sea at this time.

Chen Hui carried a bucket and strolled among the rocks, collecting snails with An Wenjing.

"Look! There's a nest of blue crabs here!"

"I caught three blue crabs! Hahahaha!"

Chen Guangming stood on a medium-sized reef, holding a bucket in one hand and a blue crab in the other. His happy shouting attracted everyone's attention.

Blue crabs are good stuff.

The people around him couldn't help but gather around to join in the fun, and then started searching among the rocks at Chen Guangming's feet.

Chen Guangming didn't care and jumped over the rocks to Chen Hui and An Wenjing.

"Chen Hui, look! I caught three blue crabs this big!" Chen Guangming stretched the bucket in his hand in front of Chen Hui and emphasized it again.

"Awesome!" Chen Hui took a look and gave a thumbs up.

"Humph!"

"Is it difficult to earn five dollars a day? It's not that difficult! Hahaha!"
