Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 54 Chen Xueru’s suspicion

"You can sell the fish tails, but they only cost 5 cents per pound. Sister Liu, if you want them, I'll weigh them for you."

The second aunt hesitated when she heard the words, and subconsciously complained: "Isn't that right of you? It only costs [-] cents per catty outside. How come the price has increased here?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "The fish sold outside are all one pound or half a pound, with internal organs and fish heads."

"But the fish tail is different, it's pure meat."

"And this is the tail of a snakehead fish. Not to mention the lack of spines, it's the tail of a big fish."

"Big fish are long-lived fish, so rare to find."

"I'm selling it cheaply. If it were someone else who didn't have [-] cents a pound, I wouldn't sell it to them."

The second aunt was silent for a while but still didn't want it, mainly because there is no public-private partnership yet and Liu Haizhong's salary has not increased.

There are three children in the family, and there is not much extra money to eat for five people. Although there is no meat or fish to be seen.

Affordable, but not necessary.

Cooking fish requires a lot of oil. Wouldn't it be delicious if she added [-] cents to buy pork belly?
"Forget it, my family doesn't like fish very much either."

"Okay, then I should take care of the fish while you are busy."

Li Xiuzhu went home and took a knife, "click-click" to remove the fish scales, and then disembowelled the fish. His smooth movements made people's eyes light up.

No internal organs are left except for the swim bladder. This stuff is processed and dried to become fish maw, which is a great supplement.

The fish Li Xiuzhu caught was not pregnant. It had no roe and nothing else he liked to eat.

But just when Li Xiuzhu was about to go home, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family came out again and stopped Li Xiuzhu with a dollar in her hand.

"Brother Li, cut off two pounds of fish tails for me, and I'll add a dish to my man."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, then nodded and cut a section.

Weighed it, it weighed about two and a half kilograms, and handed it directly to Sun's wife.

After collecting the money, the brothers will settle the accounts clearly. If you don't collect the money in this yard, you will definitely be remembered.

That's not right. It's not just this yard, it's like this in 80.00% of the yards.

It is human nature to be greedy for small gains, and addiction to greed for more is not exclusive to this courtyard house.

The essence of a courtyard house is that the parents are petty and fussy.

The two of them were stunned by Li Xiuzhu's operation, and the second aunt even said with a hint of yin and yang: "Don't you even weigh them? What if you don't weigh them enough?"

I didn’t eat the grapes, they were too sour.

Hearing this, the Sun family's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "There is no need to weigh him. I trust Xiuzhu's hand. There must be only a few more."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "That's inevitable. I've learned cooking before, so I know what I'm doing. I can't let my sister-in-law from the Sun family suffer."

"If you don't believe it, my sister-in-law can take it to weigh me. Otherwise, you can find me."

Sun's wife hurriedly said: "No need to weigh me, I believe you."

With that said, he went back with the fish tail.

Li Xiuzhu also went back to the house. He processed the fish and marinated it first. It took two hours to marinate, so there was no rush to make room for it.

The fish maw was left to dry under the window sill of the guest room. Only this room and the main house had sunlight, so it would definitely not be possible to dry it in my own room.

As for what to do if a cat or mouse takes it away outside.

I haven't worried about anyone since there aren't many people eating fish maws now.

After everything was done, Li Xiuzhu didn't see Tian Zao come back, but he didn't care. He could learn to cook slowly. Tian Zao left late, so it was normal for him to have more work.

I took a piece of pork from the space, cut into two ounces of lean meat, stir-fried shredded pork with pepper, steamed half a box of rice and ate it.

It’s a lot for one person to eat, so two taels are enough for a plate.

He had just finished eating and was about to lie down and take a rest when suddenly a girl knocked on the door and came straight in.

Tian Zao left in a hurry today, and he was also in a hurry. He forgot to give Tian Zao the key.

So I just left the door open, he is at home. "Xiao He, why are you here?"

"Brother Li, my sister asked you to go there."

Li Xiuzhu's face suddenly darkened. He changed his clothes and asked at the same time: "How is Xueru? Did something happen?"

"Ah?!" Xiao He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He looked at the anxious Li Xiuzhu dumbfounded and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I didn't make it clear."

"Today Chen Hu came to buy land, and my sister sold it. Aren't you worried that it would be unsafe to have too much money, so let me ask Brother Li to go there."

It turns out that this is what happened, and the little girl didn’t explain it clearly, which shocked me.

Li Xiuzhu gave the little girl a blank look and said, "If you don't make it clear next time, I will beat you."

"I just scared you, Brother Li, and I'm covered in white hair and sweat."

"Do you think you should make it up to your brother and me?"

Xiao He was startled and asked subconsciously: "Brother Li, how do you want me to compensate you?"

Li Xiuzhu was also startled. This girl asked him.Moreover, the little girl is not bad looking either, so these words made him feel a little itchy.

Fortunately, he held back. It was one thing for Chen Xueru to find her for him, but it was another thing for him to take the initiative to flirt with her.

At this time, the marriage law is about to be promulgated, but Chen Xueru cannot be allowed to think wildly, otherwise what will happen if Chen Xueru gets angry and flies away.

He is a little greedy for the current life and doesn't want to lose it easily.

So you have to stay safe and make good plans for male morality.

Li Xiuzhu composed himself and said with a smile: "Turn around and help me keep an eye on your sister. Just don't let anything happen to your sister. If there is any trouble, just report it to me as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xiao He smiled sweetly.

"Sister Xueru is my sister. If you don't tell me, Brother Li, I won't let anything happen to my sister."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on my sister for you."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"Okay, let's go."

Before going out, he said hello to the Sun family's sister-in-law and asked Tian Zao to go to her first when he came back.

The man from the Sun family was also at the steel rolling mill and didn't go home until 05:30. He couldn't have been there for more than four hours.

He had enough time to go back before Tian Zao and Xiao Sun met, and he was not afraid of people gossiping.

After the two got on the bicycle, Xiaohe carefully held the handlebar but felt it was unstable.

Just when she was thinking about hugging Li Xiuzhu's waist from behind, the bicycle swayed, which scared her and she quickly hugged Li Xiuzhu tightly.

Li Xiuzhu moved for a moment but didn't say anything. This was for driving safety, not taking advantage.

If he was sitting, he would have to hold Xiao He's waist, otherwise what would happen if he fell.

However, Li Xiuzhu could not think too much, but Xiaohe was a little bit too wild. It was the first time in his life that he was riding a bicycle and hugging a man for the first time.

On weekdays, even if there's something really urgent, I just take a rickshaw and don't have to carry anyone.

The two went to the silk store together, and Li Xiuzhu locked the car and got in.

Xiaohe followed behind with a blushing face, acting like a little daughter-in-law, which made the guys in the store look at each other.

what's wrong?

Coming back with the boss's man and still looking rosy?Was this stolen?
I don’t blame them for thinking so, it’s so similar.

Seeing the two of them, even Chen Xueru became suspicious.

"You are this?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Xiao He, and said speechlessly: "Are you still blushing?"

Then he continued to Chen Xueru: "Maybe the little girl has never ridden a bicycle before. She just helped me over by my waist, and then that was it."
