Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Chapter 34 Secret
Ji Ping looked mysterious, as if Chu Xuan would miss 100 million if he didn't listen to him.

Chu Xuan was wondering, what did Mu Chenze have to say that he couldn't come over and say it himself?
But he didn't ask, "Ji Ping, tell me!"

Ji Ping said in a very low voice, "He asked you to meet at my house at nine o'clock tonight. He has something important to tell you."

"Got it, thank you!"

Instinct told Chu Xuan that he must keep the appointment tonight.

Ji Ping then pointed at the cartfish and said, "Today's five hundred catties are still unloaded in the corner where they were yesterday?"

"Yes. Xiaofeng, bookkeeping, five hundred catties."

As soon as Chu Xuan finished speaking, Chu Feng responded loudly, "Okay!"

After writing down the bill, he went to the kitchen to scoop up a bowl of red bean and barley soup for Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan thanked the younger brother with a smile, but did not answer, and explained, "The Chinese medicine I drink contains medicinal herbs for dispelling dampness, and if I drink this soup, I will overdose."

Pointing in the direction of Ji Ping.

Chu Feng understood.

When Ji Ping finished unloading the fish, a large bowl of red bean and barley soup was handed to him.

This soup has a good effect on dispelling dampness.

Ji Ping thanked Chu Feng, took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, returned the bowl, and left.

At this moment, Mu Chenze was lying on his kang with a helpless expression.

I don't know what's wrong with my mother, my mother will follow him wherever he goes.

He didn't want his mother to know about his cooperation with Chu Xuan, and he didn't want his mother to see him meeting Chu Xuan.

But he has something important to tell Chu Xuan, the less people know about it, the better.

If my mother knew about it, she would definitely tell my father and elder brother and sister-in-law.

Then he asked Ji Ping to send a message to Chu Xuan.

Ji Ping will keep it secret and will not eavesdrop on it.

Qin Mahua was not discouraged when she failed to discover her son's secret, and planned to continue following her in the future.

Little did he know that his son had already seen through it.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, all skinned fish have been processed and cleaned.

Chu Xuan settled wages based on his younger brother's accounting book.

Liu Zhaodi killed five hundred catties of fish for five yuan.

Gao Meijuan and Wang Shasha killed a total of [-] catties of fish for [-] yuan.

Miao Dacui only started killing fish in the afternoon, so the quantity was small, only one hundred catties, one yuan.

Chu Feng killed two hundred catties of fish for two yuan.

Chu Xuan made the settlement that day.

Liu Zhaodi held five yuan in her hand and felt like she was dreaming. She had earned so much in five hours. If she earned this much every day, it would be 150 yuan a month. She could support her two younger brothers in school and buy medicine for her mother. It was nothing. question.

After thanking Chu Xuan and confirming that he can continue to come, he left happily.

Gao Meijuan's family didn't leave in a hurry. Some helped carry water, some helped put fish fillets on the tray, and some helped chop wood to light the fire...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Chu Xuan walked to the door and saw Widow Niu standing outside the door with a embarrassed look on her face, her hands nervously clutching the corners of her clothes.

The Ox Widow is in her thirties, tall and strong as an ox.

Usually, Chu Xuan and Widow Niu had little contact, but when people came to visit, they still needed to be polite.

"Miss Niu, what's the matter?"

The Cow Widow mustered up her courage and stammered, "I... I heard that you opened... a grilled fish fillet workshop. Do you have the strength... to work hard? Can you hire... hire me..."

After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Xuan for fear of being rejected.

Chu Xuan knew about her family situation. There were only her and her 12-year-old son Wang Mingguang in the family.

The cow widow is clumsy, and no one hires her to work for more than a day.

Either she broke the fishing net, or she accidentally broke something, even if she killed a fish, she could cut her hand...

So that no one dared to hire her to work again.

Go catch the sea, others can more or less pick up good goods, but she can pick up at most things like clams, snails, and rainbows. She has no wealth and no brains. As time goes by, she becomes poorer and poorer.

The cow widow is honest and honest.

Chu Xuan was thinking of hiring someone to carry water and chop firewood, but he didn't know if the cow widow was qualified for the job.

Chu Xuan was a little worried that she accidentally cut her hand while chopping firewood.

In the end, I wanted to help her.

"Okay. I'll hire you to carry water and chop firewood. There must be water in the water tank every day, and you have to chop at least two loads of firewood. The salary is one yuan per day. If you are willing, you can come at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and the wages will be settled on the same day."

Widow Niu had a look of surprise on her face. She just wanted to give it a try. She didn't expect that Chu Xuan could really hire her. She kept saying, "I am willing! I am willing...thank you...thank you..."

Seeing her like this, Chu Xuan felt inexplicably distressed.

"Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow will be full of strenuous work."

Widow Wang grinned, "Okay! I'll be here early tomorrow morning!"

He waved his hand and left happily.

Chu Feng had marinated the sweet and salty fish fillets in advance. Chu Xuan took a look at them and started grilling them.

There was no hiding or tucking, teaching Gao Meijuan how to control the heat.

I don’t mind if Chu Feng, Miao Dacui and Wang Shasha follow suit.

From now on, Chu Xuan needs to go out to sell fish every day, so she plans to invite Gao Meijuan and the others to grill fish at home, and she will be paid separately.

In fact, Chu Xuan had another idea, but she had to look at the sales volume and wait until the sales volume increased before mentioning it to Wang Depin.

After learning two ovens of grilled fish fillets, Gao Meijuan has basically mastered the heat.

At around 50:[-] in the evening, Chu Xuan found a reason to go out to eat after eating too much.

Picking a path that no one took, he came to Ji Ping's house and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opens.

The person who opened the door was Mu Chenze, who came out of the window secretly.

His mother thought he had already gone to bed.

Ji Ping walked out of the kitchen, holding the steamed bun in his hand, and took a bite. "You two go to the main room to chat, and I will go back to the kitchen to eat."

Leave room for them to talk.

Mu Chenze nodded towards Chu Xuan, and made a gesture of invitation.

Chu Xuan walked into the main room.

Mu Chenze then also stepped into the main room and closed the door.

Lean your back against the door.

Chu Xuan swallowed, what does this guy want to do?I don't want to be the overlord...

"Mu Chenze, why are you closing the door?"

Mu Chenze made a silence gesture, "Keep your voice down! Next, I'm going to tell you something very important! You have to make sure to stay calm after listening and not yell out of anger. "

Only then did Chu Xuan realize that he had thought wrongly.

"Okay! I promise! Just tell me quickly! There are hundreds of kilograms of fish fillets at home waiting for me to bake."

"Then I'll make a long story short." Mu Chenze deliberately lowered his voice and continued, "I didn't receive the deep-sea fishing goods early this morning, so I didn't go to the city. Instead, I went to sea with my family's boat. But you don't have to worry, I can get it from you. I have sold those sea cucumbers, abalones and the like that I bought there. When my family was fishing on the boat, I happened to meet Chu Zhi, who bought a second-hand boat. Instead of fishing well, he drank and fished on the boat, and ended up drunk. , plunged into the sea. I saw it."

Chu Xuan looked helpless, "Did you save him?"

"Yes."

"A person like Chu Zhi deserves to die! Why did you save him?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but think of how helpless she felt after being pushed into the sea by Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua in her previous life. In this life, she wished Chu Zhi could also experience the feeling of suffocating and dying in the sea.

Mu Chenze said good-naturedly, "Thanks to me for saving him, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the secret!"

Chu Xuan became interested, "What secret?"

"When I rescued him on the boat, he was still drunk and muttering, "We have money! My family has a lot of money! Buying a boat to go to sea is not to make money, but to show off that the old Chu family also has money to buy a boat!"
