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

Chapter 32
Because Chang Pingning, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly sold out the seafood they brought today, when they returned home, there were no carriages or donkey carts in the town to take people directly back to Guojiacun.

So, the two walked back to Guojiacun.

Chang Pingning looked at the sun above his head and once again mentioned to Ye Xiuying the matter of "buying a donkey cart or an ox cart for the family."

Unexpectedly, after listening to her words, her mother-in-law glanced at Chang Pingning with a faint expression: "When I go back to discuss it with your father, it is a big item after all."

From her mother-in-law's cold attitude, Chang Pingning sensed her mother-in-law's lack of willingness to buy a car, and nodded quickly: "Mom is right, I took it for granted." As he said that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The two of them walked quietly for a while.

After a while, when Chang Pingning wiped her sweat again, Ye Xiuying said: "Girl Ning, didn't my mother say you -"

It’s over.

This was the first thought in Chang Pingning's mind. When Mother Dong said this in her previous life, she knew that the next words would definitely criticize her.

"Mom, I think you've just walked a short distance, and you feel tired. Are you feeling a little overwhelmed?" Ye Xiuying looked at Chang Pingning, "How about you stay at home from now on, and I'll come to town to deliver seafood?"

Although the tone was inquiring, Chang Pingning vaguely felt her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction.

Maybe the sea urchins were robbed?Four people went out to catch sea urchins at night and could only just fill a bucket.

Maybe sea urchin prices are down?Mother-in-law has no money left to share with her and Guo Bomo's small family?Indeed, when they were catching sea urchins last night, neither she nor Guo Bomo deliberately counted how many sea urchins they caught.

Thinking that her mother-in-law might be dissatisfied because of the money, Chang Pingning quickly said, "Mom, don't be angry. It was because I was exposed to the sun that my brain became a mess.

"But I think I will still come to town with my mother in the future. Selling seafood is a trivial matter. My mother is alone outside, and there must always be someone around her who can help." Chang Pingning thought for a while and added, "If my mother gives it to someone else, When weighing seafood and taking money, someone should look at the wooden barrel containing the seafood.”

Chang Pingning spoke sincerely.

Ye Xiuying stared at Chang Pingning for a while, feeling that she was telling the truth. After thinking about it, she softened her tone and said, "That's it. What you said makes sense. If we come to town in the future, let's come together. We have a carriage and a horse." It will be more convenient for everyone.”

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Chang Pingning nodded desperately.

But what Chang Pingning didn't know was that the reason why Ye Xiuying didn't want her to come to the town was because Guo Bomo had mentioned to her in the past few days that Chang Pingning wanted to move to the town and wanted them all to move to the town. , but was stopped by himself.

Guo Bomo said it unintentionally, even with a hint of flattery - the first thing his son and daughter-in-law thought of when they made money was to take their parents to live in the town.

But the words changed in Ye Xiuying's ears.She wondered if Chang Pingning had been squinted by the prosperity of the town after coming to the town with her, and all the money of her boss's family was in Chang Pingning's hands.

Therefore, he wanted to keep her in Guojiacun, at least until she gave birth to a child.

However, when Ye Xiuying saw Chang Pingning's reaction and what she said, she felt that she really needed a helper when she came to town - at least someone who could help her see things when she was busy.

Even though this topic was over, it still left a slight thorn in the hearts of both of them.

At noon that day, after Chang Pingning had prepared lunch, he heard his mother-in-law calling his third and fourth brothers to deliver meals to three people at the port.While waiting for the third and fourth brothers to come back, the two people in the Guo family's yard heard the noise coming from outside the house.The two looked at each other, neither knowing what happened.

Seeing this, Chang Pingning took the initiative to go out to inquire, and when he opened the door, he met Ruilan who was in high spirits.

"Sister-in-law Ning." Ruilan called her and happily shared with her, "My mother and I went to town to sell sea urchins today and made a lot of money. Taking advantage of the low tide at noon, we decided to go to the beach to pick them up again. , you come too."

As soon as Ruilan finished speaking, the village chief's wife appeared beside her and tugged on Ruilan's clothes, then smiled flatteringly at Chang Pingning.

"Bomer's family and your mother-in-law have made a lot of money from sea urchins these days, right? It's better to leave these rich days to us soup drinkers." Aunt Shuzhen said, her expression gradually became fierce, "Otherwise, you will Dayong’s family, we’re still talking about whether we can go to the beach next to the village.”

Chang Pingning listened to the wishes of the village chief's wife, and it seemed that she did not intend to let her and her mother-in-law continue to get involved in the sea urchin business.

"I understand what Auntie means." Chang Pingning said, "But I still want to ask, at what price are the sea urchins sold in the town now? The price of sea urchins has changed a lot today, Auntie, please don't lose money."

Aunt Shuzhen originally didn't want to tell Chang Pingning about money-related matters, but hearing her say "may lose money" was even more uncomfortable than asking her to make money.She quickly asked: "Is three pennies a piece considered a loss?"

Chang Pingning was surprised when she heard the answer. She didn't expect that in just half a day, the price of sea urchins had dropped from six cents to three cents.

"It's not a loss." Chang Pingning kept his face calm, "At least I won't come to you for a refund just because someone bought it too expensive. When I was having tea this morning, I heard that someone bought one for six cents each. Sea urchin, and I plan to ask the vendor who sells it for four pennies to refund my money."

Aunt Shuzhen was stunned when she heard this, but she still said stubbornly: "Then how can you get a refund if you buy it voluntarily? Okay, it's noon, you go home and have dinner."

After Aunt Shuzhen finished speaking, she waved her hand at Chang Pingning, not wanting Chang Pingning to continue to follow them.

Chang Pingning returned to Guo's house and told her mother-in-law the contents of the conversation with the village chief's wife.

After hearing this, Ye Xiuying was also shocked by the latest price of sea urchins.

Neither of them knew how much the price of sea urchins would be driven down as a large number of villagers in Guojia Village started selling sea urchins.

But this is not what the two of them should think about. When they went to Cyclamen in the morning, Chef Wang had already told them that what they needed now were scallops.

Therefore, in the evening, Chang Pingning went to the beach with her mother-in-law as usual.

But everyone in the village watched them warily, and everyone tacitly agreed to exclude them from their own circle and not let them have the chance to catch any sea urchins.

Chang Pingning was helpless. She thought it was too much for some villagers to follow them yesterday, but she didn't expect that they were not allowed to "see" the sea urchin today.Chang Pingning could only be thankful that cyclamen no longer needed sea urchins.

Although there are few scallops, for Chang Pingning, it is always better than "no sea urchins".Therefore, Chang Pingning worked hard to find traces of scallops on the edge of the sea and at the boundary between the beach and the sea.

Among other people in Guojiacun, some people originally wanted to step forward to see what Chang Pingning and the two were picking up, but they soon heard Ye Xiuying's voice.

"Girl Ning, run!"
