Chapter 265 Sorry, this land is really mine
"Guangyao, this fish was indeed caught by Chen Hui first."

"Yes! I saw it too!"

"Chen Hui lived there, and he let it run away in order to promote art."

Hearing the noise, people around came over to join in the fun.

The three women who were closer to Chen Hui just now spoke first about Chen Guangyao.

The other two villagers didn't know whether they disliked Chen Hui or these three people, and they retorted:
"Since it ran away, it's in the sea. Whoever catches it will own it!"

"He's right. What's in the bucket belongs to you. It's not wrong for Guangyao to catch it and claim it as his!"

One of the three people turned around and looked at the person who was looking for trouble.

He supported Chen Hui again: "Then Chen Hui was also caught this time, and Chen Hui also caught the head!"

The onlookers saw that these five people were about to fight.

They all acted as peacemakers, persuading Chen Hui and Chen Guangyao: "Why not give it half to each of them? We are all from the same village, so don't ruin the harmony!"

"Half is half, just consider it as giving face to the uncles and aunts!"

Chen Guangyao smiled proudly.

He watched the sea eel dragon escape from Chen Hui's hands, so getting half of it was considered a bargain.

"I disagree!"

Chen Hui's words immediately brought the atmosphere to a low point.

The onlookers fell silent and looked at Chen Hui in surprise.

An older man was about to come out to uphold justice and scold Chen Hui.

Then I heard Chen Hui continue:
"This moray dragon is mine, but not just this moray dragon."

"And the five oyster shells, two small conches, and a sea fish you touched just now are all mine."

"Chen Hui, are you sick?" Chen Guangyao was puzzled but shocked.

An Wenjing looked at Chen Hui, the little flame in her body could no longer be suppressed.

Lin Jiao heard the noise and hurried over from a distance.

Chen Hui turned his head and shook gently at An Wenjing, signaling her not to speak.

Looking at Chen Guangyao, he said:

"Chen Guangyao, you are a hundred times more annoying than Chen Guangming!"

"But you were right just now. This piece of land is really mine."

"The land you are standing on originally belonged to Chen Youqing from Team 2. He knocked down my house and gave me this piece of wasteland as compensation."

Chen Guangyao's family is from Team One, and Team One's land is closer to the inside than Team Two's.

This is also considered land? This has points? Chen Guangyao couldn't imagine it at all.

Without thinking, he said, "Who are you kidding? Who wants this reef land?"

"Don't say that, the land is good land! Normally the sea level is low and it doesn't reach this position, but today is the first day of the lunar year."

Chen Hui said with a shrug.

It reveals a kind of arrogance that is both really asking for a beating and yet makes people feel helpless.

"Chen Youqing is over there, I'll go get him over!"

Lin Jiao rushed over and heard this.

He handed the bucket to An Wenjing and trotted back to call Chen Youqing.

Chen Youqing came over and heard about how Chen Hui and Chen Guangyao fought over the conger eel dragon. He strode out a few meters.

Pointing to the ground, he said:

"The land I compensated Chen Hui ends here!"

"Chen Guangyao, if you are so capable, why don't you jump out? If you get out of here, everything you catch in the sea will be yours."

Chen Youqing's words made everyone laugh.

Chen Guangyao's face was gloomy. He let go of the pliers in his hand and was about to leave with a "humph".

Chen Hui took two steps forward, blocked Chen Guangyao's way and said, "Five sea snails, two small sea snails, and a sea fish."

The few people who had helped Chen Guangyao just now were silent now. After all, they had found some things here.

What if Chen Hui wants them to return it?
"Chen Hui, forget it. We are from the same village. We will see each other sooner or later!"

Chen Hui saw that the person who spoke was the aunt who had just taken the lead in supporting him.

Nodding and smiling, he said, "Since Auntie said so! I will give you this face!"

Chen Hui took a step to the side.

Chen Guangyao's eyes quickly swept over the two of them, and he walked away with his head lowered.

Seeing Chen Hui giving her face, the old aunt was very happy.

He came over and patted Chen Hui's arm, then said with a smile: "Chen Hui is so good!"

The crowd that came over also praised:

"Chen Hui has really grown up and learned to forgive others when he can."

"Yes, after Chen Hui married Wen Jing, he became a different person. He is now sensible and enthusiastic!"

"This Chen Guangyao is really something. He is so old but still so ignorant!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, and then went back to fishing.

Chen Hui threw the conger eel into the bucket and closed the lid.

Seeing that this place was already crowded, he said to An Wenjing: "Wife, there are too many people here, let's go over there and have a look."

An Wenjing nodded, then turned back and said something to Lin Jiao.

Holding An Wenjing's hand, he followed Chen Hui and laughed softly, "Is there some land of ours over there?"

"That's not the case, so we have to be low-key when we go there."

"It's Chen Guangyao's bad luck, really. No one wants this kind of reef land. Chen Youqing's is the only one in the village." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Ah?! Why would he agree to that?" An Wenjing asked in surprise.

"I don't know the details, but I heard from my father that it seemed like Liu Fugui gave him some other benefits." Chen Hui said.

"Probably."

An Wenjing nodded in agreement.

This kind of thing is someone else's private matter and there is no need to go into details.

Chen Hui took the two sisters and searched along the beach.

As the tide gradually rose, the buckets in their hands were full.

You can get good stuff by going to the beach during low tide, but it's rare to find someone like Chen Hui who gets two full buckets.

On the way back, I was envied by my fellow villagers.

After returning to Lin Jiao's house, the two found a large basin and poured all the seafood in the bucket into it.

After a simple classification, everything was cleaned up.

Chen Hui killed the conger snake that morning, tied it up with a hemp rope and held it up, saying:
"Sister Juanjuan and the others will come over in the afternoon. I guess we'll have to watch for quite a while."

"I'll go to the village chief's house first. My aunt should have prepared the auspicious paper for burning."

When starting construction on a house, not only does one have to choose an auspicious day, but one also has to write a nice message in red on a large piece of paper, stating the auspicious day and time.

Go to the land temple one day in advance to set off firecrackers, light incense and offer tributes, and burn red words to the god of land.

To pray for smooth house construction and good luck in the new house.

This is not just feudal superstition, but also a sense of ritual for moving into a new home and having more expectations for a new life.

Chen Hui was still very happy to do this.

"It's still time to cook. I'll go too!" said An Wenjing.

The two of them had just walked across the bridge with An Wenyi and had not yet reached Chen Kaiming's house.

Then Chen Xiaoming was seen running towards this side, shouting "Brother Chen Hui! Sister Wen Jing!"

He ran up to the two of them, took a long breath, and then said, "Go back to your open space and take a look. There are so many people here!"
