"Yellow bone fish weighs 13.6 jin, 1.5 yuan per jin, a total of 20.4 yuan."

Yellow bone fish, also called long-spined fish in some places, is delicious

"Fresh river crabs weigh 11.3 jin, and cost 1.2 yuan per jin, which is 13.5 yuan in total."

"Yellow eel weighs 5.8 jin, and costs 3.5 yuan per jin, which is 20.3 yuan in total."

"And these loaches, crucian carp and small river shrimps, manager, I estimate that I can make two dishes. Can I charge them five dollars?"

In just one night, the Chen Conghui sister earned 59.20 yuan!

The other boys were better at catching crabs than the two girls and earned sixty or seventy dollars in one night!

As the saying goes, "Money is the greatest motivation for struggle." After selling the crabs, someone said that he knew of a river beach that was larger than the one they were going to tonight, and they would probably be able to catch more. So a group of people immediately decided to go there to catch crabs tomorrow night.

After only four hours of sleep at home, Chen Conghui and her sister got up again and went to collect the eel fishing hooks and shrimp cages they had set up when they returned.

After one night, the shrimp cages were filled with a rich harvest, but not many river shrimps. Instead, there were half a bucket of crayfish, plus more than twenty eels, some loaches, small crabs and so on.

"Oh no! Look at my brain, I almost forgot that in summer there are crabs not only on the riverbank, but also in the rice fields!" Chen Lingli patted his head.

However, if you secretly put a shrimp cage in someone else's rice field, it's okay, but if you want to go down and catch the shrimps directly, the owner of the rice field will scold you if you see it.

The two sisters could only secretly tell their classmates and ask them to put down a few shrimp cages in the rice fields near their home so that they could catch some.

Just like that, after a summer vacation, the boys and girls in Class 1, Grade 2, all became tanned and lost a lot of weight.

But the rewards are also amazing.

Although no one said how much they actually earned, after school started, everyone in the class bought new pencil cases and various stationery. The more extravagant ones even bought themselves bicycles.

Sister Chen Conghui also bought a bicycle.

Their family originally had a men's bicycle, which was left by Chen Qiang before his death. Now they have bought another one, so the two sisters can ride bicycles to school in the future.

In the third year of junior high school, Chen Lingli decided to move back to her own home. The lights in the dormitory were turned off at 10:30 every night, and reading was not allowed after the lights were turned off. Moving back to her own home allowed her to study for two more hours at night.

Chen Conghui got what she wanted and went to the Medical College with the tuition fees earned by the two sisters.

Everyone in the Medical College had to live on campus. Although she could no longer go fishing with her sister to earn money, with Hu Qiongfang's financial support, plus the money the sisters earned from working part-time during the winter and summer vacations, at least she didn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses.

When it was time to report to school, He Sanhua and her father set out from home before dawn. Before Jiang Tian went to report to school, they carried two chickens, two fat ducks, and more than a hundred salted duck eggs and delivered them to Jiang Tian's home.

"Sanhua, what are you doing?"

He Sanhua said cheerfully:

"Tiantian! My eldest sister has found a good in-law!"

"My future eldest sister's wife is very nice. She once saved my father at the construction site. Her family is also very nice. My parents both said that they were lucky that they listened to you and Aunt Hu and didn't just listen to the matchmaker's nonsense."

"These chickens and ducks were given by relatives when my eldest sister got engaged. My mother said she must send some to you and Aunt Hu to try."

"Oh, and here are these salted duck eggs. They're all from the ducks we raise at home. They're better than the white duck eggs you buy in town. My mom salted them herself. I'll give you some to try, too."

"What? Your elder sister has already decided on her in-laws? When did it happen?" Jiang Tian asked in surprise.

He Sanhua chuckled, "It was my dad who picked out my eldest brother-in-law first, but my parents listened to Aunt Hu and felt that they couldn't just listen to the matchmaker's nonsense. Seeing that my eldest brother-in-law was a good person, they secretly went to his family to inquire about him. After learning that my eldest brother-in-law's family were honest and hardworking people, they agreed to let their family propose marriage."

He Dahua is so lucky!

She is already 19 years old this year. Logically speaking, it is late for a girl of her age to get married in the countryside. Many parents would just find someone who is not so good if their daughter is still not settled at the age of 19.

Fortunately, when Mr. and Mrs. He came to deliver vegetables last year, they listened to Hu Qiongfang's words and felt that they really couldn't just pick a son-in-law. What if they picked the wrong person and their daughter didn't have a good life in her husband's family? Could they, her family, just watch their daughter suffer?

By then, the two families will have a quarrel, and my daughter will get divorced. If unfortunately she gets to take the child with her, won’t the rest of her life be ruined?

Unexpectedly, this hesitation helped He Dahua avoid a big fire pit——

The matchmaker had previously introduced He Dahua to a young man who was praised to the skies, saying that the young man was capable and had a wealthy family. The key point was that his elder sister had married the village chief, and his family was very well-known in the village.

At first glance, it seems like a good marriage that is hard to find even with a lantern. If it were an ordinary family, they would have agreed to it eagerly.

Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. He still remembered Hu Qiongfang's words and secretly went to the village over there to inquire.

Only then did I know that the young man's brother-in-law was not only the village chief, but also a village bully. He did all kinds of evil in the village, bullying men and women. Many young girls and wives in the village were harmed by them.

This brother-in-law actually brought his brother-in-law to bully men and women. I heard that this guy had a girlfriend before, and he got her pregnant, and then he found out that the girl herself was not sure whether the baby in her belly was from his brother-in-law or his brother-in-law...

If he hadn't had a bad reputation in the village, how could he have run dozens of miles away to find a wife?

Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. He made some inquiries and later used the excuse that their zodiac signs were in conflict and did not agree to the marriage.

As a result, just half a month ago, I heard that the boy and his brother-in-law actually harmed the sister of a soldier who was serving in the army...

This was a big disaster. I heard that people from the county public security bureau came and arrested all the adults involved in the case from the two families.

Upon hearing the news, Mr. He and his wife broke out in cold sweats.

That was a close call!

If they had not listened to Hu Qiongfang's words at the time and took a car to the man's village to inquire, they would have almost pushed their own daughter into the fire pit.

It was also because of this shock that Boss He lost his concentration while working on the construction site. If a young man next to him hadn't pushed him, Hu Qiongfang's family would probably have to go to the He family for a feast...

A good son-in-law fell from the sky. Mr. and Mrs. He were so happy that they were extremely grateful to Hu Qiongfang and her daughter.

When they were engaged, the couple had discussed whether to invite President Hu to dinner. However, they were afraid that Hu Qiongfang would spend too much money, so they had to wait until the two families were engaged before they went to visit with gifts to express their gratitude.
