Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

At the port outside Guojiacun, some of the merchants who had recently disembarked looked worried.

Chang Pingning was greeting customers at the stall and asked them if they had seen any fishing boats on the way over.

However, those merchants came through the river and did not go to the open sea, which delayed them a lot of time in buying and selling goods.

Chang Pingning felt strange and was about to ask more questions when she saw Meng Xia not far away, running towards her in a hurry.

"Ms. Chang, can you come with me?" Meng Xia's tone was urgent.

Chang Pingning didn't understand. She looked at the merchants waiting for oysters in front of the stall and asked Meng Xia what happened.

But Meng Xia did not give a specific answer. He just said that it was a good thing.

However, she also noticed that Chang Pingning was still busy at the moment and offered to help Chang Pingning.At the same time, he told Chang Pingning that the stall at the port was busy with the last few customers and would be closed today.

Chang Pingning didn't understand what was going on, but she thought that Meng Xia's share of the profits from this stall should be very important.Chang Pingning agreed and accelerated the baking speed on his hands.

Not long after, Chang Pingning sat on Meng Xia's carriage and returned to Guojiacun.

The carriage stopped at the door of Liu's house. After Chang Pingning got out of the car with baked oysters, he saw the anxious Butler Liu.

Butler Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Pingning and Meng Xia, but he still said: "Miss Meng, why are you here? Come in quickly." There was a slight complaint in his tone.

Meng Xia sighed helplessly after hearing this, but still hurriedly walked into Liu House.

Chang Pingning lowered his head and followed Meng Xia into Liu's house.

Following Meng Xia, Chang Pingning walked straight into the Liu family's main room.Chang Pingning has never been here before. She came to Liu's house to look for Meng Xia before, either in the kitchen, in a small room in the backyard, or in the yard of the backyard.

This was the first time Chang Pingning came to the Liu family's main room.

The main hall of the Liu family is much larger than that of the Guo family and the Chang family. The chairs placed inside are all high-backed horn chairs, which look much more imposing than other homes in the village.

There were many ladies sitting in the room, and some standing nearby.Chang Pingning knew many of these ladies, and he either took them to catch the sea or processed seafood for them at Guo's house.

Their current respectful attitude was something Chang Pingning had never seen before.

The lady sitting in the middle was a lady Chang Pingning had never seen before. She looked a bit older, but she was well-maintained and she was younger than her mother.

"Is this what you and Miss Meng were talking about, the lady in the village?" The woman sitting in the middle of the hall turned her head and asked Liu Qingwan, looking very curious about Chang Pingning.

"Yes, Mrs. Gu, she is Mrs. Chang." Liu Qingwan spoke in a gentle tone, not as condescending as usual, and then pointed to Meng Xia with her eyes.

Meng Xia took a bowl of oysters wrapped in cloth from Chang Pingning and placed it respectfully on the table between Liu Qingwan and Mrs. Gu.

Liu Qingwan invited Mrs. Gu opposite to taste the charcoal-grilled oysters served by Meng Xia.

Standing Chang Pingning was intimidated by such an atmosphere. He felt that the strange "Mrs. Gu" had a good background. He was afraid of offending a big shot, so he couldn't help lowering his head and staring at the patterns on his cloth shoes.

After Meng Xia handed over the seafood, Chang Pingning felt her return to his side and pull him to the corner.

Before Chang Pingning could speak, Meng Xia leaned against Chang Pingning and whispered that she would trouble Chang Pingning to take them to the sea later.Chang Pingning nodded apprehensively, vaguely feeling that Mrs. Gu was a big shot.

After arriving at the beach, Mrs. Gu and Miss Liu were surrounded by a group of ladies, while Chang Pingning and Meng Xia stood at the edge, waiting for their orders at any time.

As for the other out-of-town seafarers and patrolling villagers, they have all disappeared now, leaving only a few women from Guojia Village in the distance picking up seafood.

Chang Pingning heard Miss Liu and a group of noble ladies introducing Guojiacun to the sea and the wild and interesting farmhouse entertainment in Guojiacun to Mrs. Gu. In their words, they even wanted to invite the ladies to stay in Guojiacun for one night.

However, Chang Pingning noticed that after Mrs. Gu came to the beach, she didn't seem very interested in catching the sea. She just listened politely to everyone's introduction. When she heard that a bonfire would be prepared for the farmhouse in the evening, her face became nervous.

"Are you still lighting bonfires on the beach at night?" Mrs. Gu turned around and asked, "Is there anyone from the nearby villages? Call over, I want to meet you."

"That's Mrs. Chang!"

"Ms. Chang, Mrs. Gu is calling you!"

The ladies around him spontaneously made way for Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning didn't understand and looked at Meng Xia subconsciously.Meng Xia winked at her and told her not to worry.

Chang Pingning walked towards Mrs. Gu. When she came to Mrs. Gu, she couldn't help but become nervous. When she saw Liu Qingwan smiling at her, she felt a little more relaxed.

"Don't be nervous." Mrs. Gu obviously saw the nervousness of the peasant woman in front of her. She smiled and reassured, "Has your village encountered attacks from pirates recently?" When asking this question, she looked very concerned. Chang Pingning's answer seemed to be worried about her own safety.

Chang Pingning shook his head: "No." As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Gu in front of him.

Mrs. Gu nodded, smiled gently at Chang Pingning, and asked her a few more questions about traveling to the sea and living by the sea.

Chang Pingning felt that Mrs. Gu's attitude was very cordial, felt a lot more relaxed, and answered smoothly.

But after Chang Pingning returned home, she always thought of Mrs. Gu's worried look.When Chang Pingning returned to the kitchen to wash rice, he remembered that when he delivered food to Guo Bomo earlier, he had heard the villagers discussing the news about water bandits and pirates.

It's just that at that time, Chang Pingning felt that these things were too far away from him, so he didn't ask the village uncles more.

But why is Mrs. Gu worried about this?

Chang Pingning was curious. During this period, their village would occasionally light bonfires at night, but it had always been peaceful.

Are there really pirates on the sea recently?

Chang Pingning was stunned. The bowl in his hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"What!" At the same time, a cry of surprise appeared in the Guo family's yard.

Chang Pingning walked out of the kitchen and saw her mother-in-law talking to someone at the door, but her tone and voice were deliberately lowered.

Chang Pingning felt strange and was about to walk in to ask, but when she saw her mother-in-law, she reluctantly smiled at her and asked her if dinner was ready.
Chang Pingning could only say that he accidentally broke a bowl just now and came out to get a broom.

Ye Xiuying didn't seem to care much about this. After a few words, she asked Chang Pingning to make dinner, without any intention of letting Chang Pingning participate in their conversation. (End of chapter)
