Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 41
Lu Xingge's half bucket of fish was still not sold in the end.

The sun hangs high in the sky, making people feel lazy and want to doze off.

Lu Quan punted the boat, and Lu Yange sat on the bow of the boat and used a knife to scale and dissect the fish.

There are all kinds of fish in Honghu Lake.

Wild miscellaneous fish has a faint aroma when eaten in the mouth, unlike the artificially raised fish in the previous life, no matter how well cooked, the fish always has an indescribable smell of mud.

There are more than ten or twenty fish in half a bucket. Lu Yange is very careful, removing the scales carefully, and she cleans up even the smallest fish.

From Nanyang to Jiangjiaba, it takes about half a day to travel by land, and an hour is enough to travel by water if the wind is smooth.

For most of the journey, both father and son were silent.

One concentrates on building the boat, and the other concentrates on handling the wild fish in the bucket.

A gust of wind blows across the lake, blowing the waves of the lake, and the waves of water are shining brightly under the sunshine.

Lu Yange's originally depressed thoughts scattered in all directions.

"Father, when we get back, let mother make small fish pot stickers for this fish."

The small fish pot stickers made by Qiu's family were improved by Lu Yange, and they are no longer the old ones that boiled a pot of white water fish with water and salt.Instead, it uses Qiu's sun-dried soybean paste to sauté until fragrant, and then adds chili peppers, shallots, ginger, and garlic.Now the small fish pot stickers made by Qiu's family are delicious, coupled with a circle of pancakes pasted on the side of the pot, it has a soft and chewy bite, and it seems to have become the favorite of the whole family.

With such small fish pot stickers, Lu Yange can eat half more pancakes than usual.

"Row."

Lu Quan glanced at the fishing net hanging on the side of the boat, "Why don't we cast a few more nets, maybe we can catch a big fish, and let your mother make fish head soup for you later."

"No, let's go back earlier."

Lu Yange packed the washed fish one by one with salt and put them in the wooden barrel, and washed the fish-killing knife and put it in his pocket.

"We've been out for half a day, and we won't be able to go back for lunch in time if we cast the net again. Mother should be in a hurry."

In the early morning, because they were in a hurry to get to Nanyang, Lu Quan and Lu Yange set off from Jiangjiaba by boat at dawn.

Calculating the time, one round trip, plus the time wasted in Nanyang, it was agreed with Qiu Shi to go back for dinner.

Now the sun has risen to the sky, and they are still more than half an hour away from Jiangjiaba.

Then stop the boat in the middle of the lake and cast a net to catch fish. It must be an hour later when we reach Jiangjiaba. At that time, we don't know how anxious the Qiu family will be!

Lu Quan glanced at the empty lake with a little regret. This place is about the center of Honghu Lake, and it is far away from villages and towns. Fishing boats rarely reach here on weekdays.

When he came here today, he discovered that there is a flat beach slightly higher than the water surface in the center of the lake. The water and grass are lush on weekdays, and it is a paradise for wild ducks and birds.When the water is deep, the aquatic plants are submerged into the water, and there are more fish in this place than in other places.

If you can stop the boat and cast the net, there must be something to gain.

It's a pity that I can only come again next time...

Lu Quan didn't look back, he just felt something flashing in the water.

He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the flat beach with lush water plants not far away.There was a wind blowing across the river, and the snow-white waves rolled up ripples, as if something was rippling along the river water mixed with aquatic plants.

"Father, tell me, Mrs. Chen knows that her sister, brother-in-law, family, and her brother and nephew all died because of Chen Shidun. What will happen to her?"

Lu Quan didn't realize for a while, who was Mrs. Chen that Lu Yange was talking about.It was only after hearing this that she realized that the Mrs. Chen she was talking about was probably her aunt Shen Qinglian who had just been released from prison today.

Lu Quan frowned. How could this child call his aunt like that?

And her uncle, father and mother don't call her by name, so why?
Lu Quan's mind was deep, but he didn't dare to say much about this matter. After all, he was a little worried. It's hard to say that Xiaosi had experienced the disaster of destroying his family, and he was depressed!
If Lu Xingge knew what Lu Quan was thinking, he would definitely cry out for his injustice.

It's not that she doesn't bark, but she's lived in the Lu family since she came here, she's already used to being the fourth child of the Lu family, and she doesn't have any sense of participation in her original parents, aunt, and uncle.

Fortunately, Lu Quan changed the subject naturally: "Your aunt..."

Lu Quan didn't know how to proceed, he was not familiar with Chen Shidun.Just because Lu Yuanshan rescued his family last winter, he still inquired about some things about Lu Yuanshan, including some things about Lu Yuanshan's brother-in-law Chen Shidun and Lu Yuanshan's father-in-law Shen's family.

The Shen family is a big family in Nanyang, with a huge family and flourishing branches.Although the branch of Yan Ge's grandfather is considered a side branch, there are some farm shops in the family, and life is much better than ordinary families.

In addition, Lu Yange's grandfather had a reputation as a scholar, although he did not have a Jinshi degree, he was quite prestigious in the local area.

Originally, Shen Qinglian would not marry a bum like Chen Shidun.

The young Chen Shidun met Shen Qinglian by chance, and he never forgot it, and vowed to hug the beauty back.However, Shen's family has a clean family background, and Shen's father has a reputation, so naturally he looks down on Chen Shidun, a prodigal person like Chen Shidun.In order to marry a wife, it is said that Chen Shidun even resorted to some tricks.

As for the reason behind it, Lu Quan also knew it from hearsay, but did not know the real inside story.

After marriage, with the help of Shen's family, Chen Shidun became the head of the pavilion in the local area.

Until Shen Qinglian married into the Chen family and gave birth to two sons, all the young talents in Nanyang County couldn't believe how this flower from the Shen family could be stuck on Chen Shidun's piece of cow dung.

"Your aunt's toughness is unmatched."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Quan only said this sentence.

Lu Yange tilted his head slightly, staring at the sparkling river.

At that time, when she walked to the side of the ox cart with the wooden bucket containing the fish, she saw Shen Qinglian sitting on the ox cart, wearing shabby clothes, with a haggard look, but a straight waist.

This woman, the months of imprisonment did not erase the inherent arrogance in her body.

Even though her brows were downcast, Lu Yange could still see the tenacity and forbearance shining in her slightly upturned Danfeng eyes.

Such a woman has spent a long time in prison, but she can be open-minded without any humility, which shows that her heart is not inferior to ordinary people.

Such a woman married to that bastard Chen Shidun, it really made many people feel unwilling!
She was supposed to be like her younger sister, marrying a talented young man like Lu Yuanshan with ten miles of red makeup, become the mother of the clan, have children and live a prosperous and leisurely life.But now, because of Chen Shidun, she had to go to jail for her husband and endure all kinds of humiliation.

And her sister's whole family, natal brothers, nephews and nephews were all ruined because of Chen Shidun, and they were also accused of being a bandit.

Will she hate it?

It's fine for Chen Shidun to die outside, but what if Chen Shidun comes back alive?

Will she target the former pillow, or will she swallow all this silently and continue to be her good wife and mother?
