Chapter 38 You Are a Hooligan

Not only An Wenjing, but also Chen Hui and other villagers who came to the sea to catch seafood, all looked at the person who was speaking with almost the same eyes.

Only An Wenyi, who knew nothing, squatted behind Chen Hui excitedly and watched the fish.

"Why are you looking at me? Is what I said wrong?"

"This ocean belongs to everyone, and so do the things in it. If you take away such a big fish, our resources will be reduced."

"Of course we have to divide it up!" Xiang Meijiao said, and pulled Chen Jiamei next to her.

"Ah?! Ah! Yes, yes, yes! That's right!" After saying that, Chen Jiamei looked at the few people who came with her.

Several people exchanged glances quickly.

One of the older women wanted to speak, but was stopped by another person who grabbed her clothes.

"The resources in this sea belong to everyone, so why don't you go into the sea and catch them?"

"In my opinion, you shouldn't have married to Chenjia Village. Wouldn't it be better to marry to Dasha Village? You don't have to go up the mountain or down to the sea. You can just sit at the dock every day and wait for the fishing boats to come back and share your money."

"nerve!"

After An Wenjing finished speaking, she held An Wenyi's hand with one hand, picked up something with the other hand and walked forward.

"You're crazy!" An Wenyi turned his head and cursed, then followed him with a giggle.

Chen Hui put away what he was about to say, glanced up and down at Chen Jiamei, smiled and followed the sisters' pace.

"What are you looking at? You're a hooligan!" Chen Jiamei cursed stutteringly, not daring to raise her voice too loudly.

"I didn't realize that my little wife is quite capable."

Chen Hui ignored Chen Jiamei behind him.

He took two big steps to An Wenjing, tilted his head and said with a smile.

"Don't you see whose daughter I am? If I didn't even have this much talking skills, I would have been swallowed up by these gossipy women long ago!"

"Brother Chen Hui, do you think I'm too fierce and not gentle enough?" An Wenjing asked.

"No, I think you are good no matter what you look like." Chen Hui said.

"Eh! So corny!" An Wenyi looked up and smiled at Chen Hui.

"When you are old enough, I will send you to primary school."

All right.

Now An Wenyi couldn't laugh anymore. She pouted and followed Chen Hui to his house.

After returning home, Chen Hui rinsed his body with cold water, dried himself, and put on his clothes and Liberation shoes.

I found a large basket and secured it to the back seat of the bicycle with ropes.

"Brother Chen Hui, you still haven't told me why you didn't sell this fish to the rich woman. Is it too big?"

An Wenjing came over and asked.

“It’s really too big, and you can’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

"A rich woman is nice but unstable. What if her daughter-in-law is out of confinement or for some other reason, and she doesn't want to take my fish?"

Chen Hui fixed the basket and put the big fish, which was no longer struggling, into it.

Grab the sides of the basket with both hands and shake it vigorously a few times to make sure it won't fall.

"If she doesn't want to buy it, we can just sell it to a purchasing point. They will definitely buy it." An Wenjing said.

"Well, the purchase point is a guarantee, they will definitely buy it but the price is also quite reasonable."

"If we can find a place with a better price, that would be the best."

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back to pick you up and take you to Chengguan later."

Considering that not everyone would buy such a big fish in its entirety, I also packed a chopping board and knife and took them with me.

He waved to An Wenjing and went to the purchasing point in the town first. He weighed the actual weight and asked about the purchase price to get a rough idea in his mind.

"Twenty-three pounds. Normally, one pound of sea bream costs three dollars. Yours is so big, so I'll charge one dollar and fifty cents."

The person at the purchasing point said.

With a smile on his face as if he was about to get an unexpected reward, he opened his waist bag and prepared to count the money for Chen Hui.

"This price is too low. I'll go to the county town and ask again."

Chen Hui put the fish back into the basket and left before the people at the purchasing point could react.

"Hey! Don't go!" "Brother, if you're not satisfied with the price, we can negotiate!"

"The price is the same in the county town, why bother making a trip?"

The people at the purchasing point were shouting at the back.

Chen Hui looked back. If he hadn't been fast enough, the man would have caught up with him and tried to persuade him.

It's so funny, one pound for one dollar and fifty cents, do you really think I'm stupid?
Chen Hui ignored the pleas to stay behind him and sped all the way, arriving at the county vegetable market during the morning peak of vegetable sales.

Outside the vegetable market, a group of people gathered together. I didn’t know what they were looking at, but it looked very lively.

It is easier to do business when there are more people.

Chen Hui locked his bicycle and carried the big fish over.

It turned out that someone caught a big turtle, tied it up with a straw rope and brought it to the vegetable market to sell.

"Brother, your fish is so big."

Some onlookers noticed the fish Chen Hui was carrying and spoke in surprise.

The people who were originally just surrounding the old turtle and admiring it were suddenly attracted by Chen Hui's blue-spotted snapper.

Chen Hui walked in and placed the big fish next to the old turtle.

He sat down next to the middle-aged man who was selling turtles and asked, "Brother, how much do you want for this old turtle?"

"Three hundred, where is your big fish?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Hui's fish.

Silently give a thumbs up.

Judging from Chen Hui’s situation, it was obvious that he was not caught by a fishing boat.

To be able to catch such a big fish by yourself in the sea, you have to have both strength and luck.

"Big brother is this!"

"Since big brother sells it for 300, I'll sell it for 300 too!" Chen Hui also gave a thumbs up and said.

Now, there are even more people gathered around.

Apart from that, turtles and fish of this size are rare.

Everyone was curious about who would be able to sell their goods first, Chen Hui or the middle-aged man selling turtles.

"Brother, I'm Chen Hui from Chenjia Village. What's your name?" Chen Hui felt his pocket and found that he had no cigarettes, so he asked with a smile.

"I don't smoke. I'm from Yuankou Village. You can just call me Brother Jia."

The middle-aged man didn't know that Chen Hui didn't have a cigarette, so he waved his hand politely.

"Hello, Brother Jia, did you catch this big turtle in the river?"

"Yeah, you caught this big fish from the sea?"

"Uh yeah yeah."

Chen Hui found that this person didn't seem to be good at socializing, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

Take the initiative to chat with the people around you.

Everyone wanted to know how Chen Hui caught the fish, and Chen Hui tried his best to make the process interesting, causing laughter from those around him.

A middle-aged man in plain clothes approached Chen Hui in the crowd.

I patted his shoulder and whispered, "Brother, bring your fish and follow me."

Three hundred yuan for a fish was definitely a very high price at that time.

This person either wanted to bargain privately or didn't want to be noticed.

Chen Hui nodded, picked up the fish and walked out of the crowd.

"Hey, you're leaving like this?"

"Is that person going to buy fish? Is there really someone who would spend so much money on fish?"

The onlookers murmured a few words.

Seeing Chen Hui and that person walking away, and then looking at Jia Caihua who only knew how to smile and didn't like to talk much, he suddenly felt that it was boring.

They soon dispersed and went to buy rice and vegetables.
