"Really? Grandma Yu, you won't lie to us, right?"

"I'm not the picky kind of person, and I never lie to children."

"That's right! Grandma Yu is much more generous than other people in the village. In the past, when Grandma Yu asked us for help, our work would never be in vain."

Oh?

It seems that the original owner often looked for them in the past?

What Yu Mei doesn't know is that the adults in the village may have strong opinions on her, but she is still quite popular among the children in the village because she has always been generous. Whenever she asks these children for help, she either gives them candy or other things. Food, so all the honest and well-behaved children in the village as well as the naughty ones are quite willing to be found by her.

But because after Yu Mei came, she had no original memories, so she naturally stopped looking for these naughty children for a long time.

"Grandma Yu, do you only want small fish cubs? We can catch big ones!"

"I want fish cubs. Of course, if you can catch river crabs, it will be one copper per pound, but I won't force you. After all, river crabs are difficult to catch."

"Don't worry, Grandma Yu, we have experience in catching this."

Although these naughty kids don’t know what Yu Mei wants to do with this river crab, they only know that catching river crabs is definitely more profitable than catching fish cubs. After all, a river crab is so big, and only a few of them weigh one kilogram. You have to catch a lot of fish cubs to get one. Jin, some children here go out to catch river crabs.

Of course, it is true that river crabs are difficult to catch, and not all children have the courage to catch river crabs. After all, it will be painful if they are pinched by the crab's pliers.

After talking to them, Yu Mei, like a doll king, led a group of children to the shallow water. She held the children and stood on the shore to watch, and the children kept busy in the water.

When other people passing by saw this scene at first, they were all curious, what was this doing?

But as soon as I saw the naughty children in the village playing in the water, I saw them all outside the river bank. When other people in the village passed by, they told them to pay attention to their safety and went about their own business.

This group of children couldn't be happier this afternoon, especially when they saw more and more fish cubs and river crabs in their basins, they laughed even more happily.

"Okay, let's get here today. It's getting late. Your parents will come and ask you to go back for dinner later. Bring your things to my house and I'll settle your wages."

"Oye! Don't worry, Grandma Yu, we will definitely deliver it to your home."

Yu Mei saw how fast they were running and looked at their backs, and she couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, a child's happiness is so pure.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

When Lin Sheng came back from town, he saw his mother leading the children from the village to her home. Each of these children held a basin and stood in a row waiting obediently.

"I'm asking them to work. Don't be stunned. Hurry up and find a scale to weigh them. See how many fish larvae and crabs each of them has in their hands. Pay them the bill quickly. Don't delay their return home for dinner. ."

As soon as he heard Yu Mei's words, a pair of bright eyes looked at Lin Sheng, and Lin Sheng couldn't help but smile.

Since his mother had said so, he naturally hurriedly came to weigh the fish cubs and river crabs in their hands.

"Mom, how do you calculate this half a catty?"

It was quite easy to calculate at the beginning. Two kilograms was a little more, three kilograms was a little less. Yu Meijian didn’t owe much, and she didn’t owe much. She calculated them according to round numbers. These children were not interested. After all, as long as they could get Money makes them very happy.

More or less, Lin Sheng doesn't care so much for the sake of the child, but there is an extra half a catty, so there is no way to wipe it off. After all, this half a catty is not easy to grasp.

What's more, this copper plate cannot be broken in half. "It's really not easy to divide. Otherwise, let them take the extra half a catty back and eat it."

"Anai Yu, I'll just give you this half a pound. My family won't eat this anyway."

When those children who had half a catty more heard that they couldn't get paid for the half catty, they simply chose not to give it up. They wouldn't eat it anyway, whether it was fish larvae or river crabs.

"What about you? What do you think?"

"If you have more, I'll give it to you, Grandma Yu. If you need anything in the future, just come to us."

Children don't care so much.

"I see there are four or five half a catty. How can we, adults, take advantage of you children? Let's do this. Lin Sheng goes and finds me a pen and paper. Whoever has the extra half a catty today can Write it down and mark the time. Next time if you have an extra half a catty, you can round up the money and send it to them. If you are one, two, three or four, tell your uncle Lin Sheng if you have an extra half a catty. Name, next time I collect a pound, I’ll give you the money.”

"it is good!"

No, after Lin Sheng memorized the names of the children, Yu Mei also converted them into money according to the number of pounds they caught.

"Grandma Yu, do you want more tomorrow?"

Before leaving, these children couldn't help but ask, after all, they just dig out bird eggs and look for ant nests every day, so they might as well do something that can make money.

"Yes, but I don't want the river crabs for the time being. If necessary, I will let you catch them. You will catch the fish cubs first. You have to catch them alive for me, don't kill them to make up for the numbers. If I find out that you are cheating to make up for the numbers, then I will No more."

"Don't worry, Grandma Yu, we will definitely not use the dead to fool you."

After getting Yu Mei's words, they all jumped up and left.

Seeing them jumping away after taking one, two, two or three cents, it was obvious that they were really happy.

"Xiaoyin, I have to work hard for you today. Fry these fish cubs quickly so that they can be dried in the sun tomorrow. After all, when the fish dies, it will affect the taste. There are also some river crabs to fry and eat. , Lin Sheng, you kid, don’t use it to feed rhubarb. If you use it to feed rhubarb, you and rhubarb will lay on the floor tonight!"

"Don't worry, mother!"

Lin Sheng laughed when he saw his mother repeatedly stressing this point, thinking how afraid his mother was that he would not let her eat river crabs.

"This is best. By the way, you should go see your dad and see if he needs to go to the toilet or something. Don't let your dad hold it in."

As Yu Mei was talking, he suddenly thought that Lin Jue had already woken up. He hadn't drank water this day, and he didn't know if he was thirsty or not.

Thinking of this, Yu Mei still felt a little guilty, thinking that Lin Jue shouldn't be a gossip and wouldn't tell Lin Sheng that she didn't give him water during the day, right?

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried. She walked to the door and listened carefully. If Lin Jue really wanted to sue her, Lin Sheng would definitely be furious.

"Dad, mom didn't torment you today, did she?"

When Lin Sheng saw his mother standing at the door sneaking around, he couldn't help but wonder if his mother had done anything excessive to his father while he was away.

It’s not that he wants to think too much, it’s just his mother’s move that makes this place worth three hundred taels of silver!
