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

Chapter 4 The wedding bed is broken
The sky was getting brighter and the rooster's crow sounded outside the window.

Chang Pingning turned over impatiently, feeling that the bed he slept on felt unfamiliar and woke up.She looked at the unfamiliar environment around her and Guo Bomo, who was snoring softly beside her, and her mind gradually realized that she got married yesterday.

Ever since Chang's mother brought her and her sister-in-law back from the Guo family, Chang's father and Chang's mother had visited Guojia Village several times. They wanted to see if there were any ferocious men among the exiled people. Some women and children, and a few elderly people.

I asked the village chief of Guojia Village and found out that the family was originally a high-ranking official in the capital. They were sent to this place because they offended the emperor.People in Guojiacun just need to keep a distance from this group of people and don't get too close to avoid being implicated.

After Chang's father and Chang's mother heard the news, they felt that Guojiacun was not as dangerous as they thought, and they quickly finalized the marriage of Guo Bomo and Chang Pingning with the Guo family.

What Chang Pingning didn't expect was that on the night of their wedding, when Guo Bomo pressed on him, the bed collapsed.The two made do with bunking on the floor for the night.

Chang Pingning looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and thought about how to make money.The snoring on the side stopped at some point. Chang Pingning turned his head in confusion and saw that Guo Bomo had opened his eyes next to him.

"Sorry." Chang Pingning heard Guo Bomo's apology and quickly reacted, jumped up, got dressed and left the house.

Chang Pingning saw Guo's mother Ye Xiuying busy in the kitchen, walked into the kitchen and asked to make breakfast for the family together.

Ye Xiuying didn't expect her new daughter-in-law to wake up so early, and was a little stunned. She asked Chang Pingning to watch the fire in front of the stove, planning to ask her eldest son what happened the night before.

Unexpectedly, there was a sound coming from outside the kitchen.

"Sister Guo, I want to change the taste of that restaurant. I'm going to the beach. Let me tell you."

Chang Pingning saw that her mother-in-law agreed readily after hearing this, and took Chang Pingning to the yard to get two wooden barrels and iron tongs.

At the same time, he told Guo Bomo, who was chopping firewood in the yard, that she took Ning Ning to catch the sea. After a while, he went to wake up his four younger brothers and sisters, and took the middle child to catch the sea.The third child stayed at home with the two younger children to make breakfast.

Guo Bomo nodded and answered the call to tell their father about his journey to the sea.

Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law nodding with satisfaction, pulling herself out of the yard and walking to the beach.

Along the way, Chang Pingning saw that the land in the village showed no signs of being planted, the houses were relatively dilapidated, and more people were even walking out of fishing boats on the shore.Chang Pingning was very confused and didn't know what the Guo family did for a living.

Although I rented an oxcart and paid a bride price before, it seemed that my hands were a little looser and faster, but it didn't even break the wedding bed, right?
Chang Pingning didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Ye Xiuying told her the things she should pay attention to when rushing to sea, especially to be obedient and not to miss the fish and shrimps on the beach.

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Chang Pingning just felt that there was seafood on the beach waiting for him to pick up.But I don’t understand why my mother-in-law has to repeatedly emphasize not to linger and to leave in time.

Soon the two came to the beach.

Chang Pingning saw seafood on the shore, large conches, clams scattered nearby, and a few crawling crabs.

Chang Pingning looked at her mother-in-law next to her in surprise. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuying was also surprised.

"The bride is so happy. She met crabs on her first trip to the sea." As she spoke, Ye Xiuying stretched out the iron pincers on her hand towards the crabs, grabbed one and threw it into the bucket. "Crabs are relatively rare, so The most expensive ones cost almost ten cents each."

Chang Pingning tried to catch the crab, but he was not strong enough and the crab quickly broke free and ran away.Ye Xiuying comforted her with a few words, and then caught a few conchs and clams for Chang Pingning, saying that these were easier to catch.

Sure enough, Chang Pingning always caught the rest accurately.Seeing this, Ye Xiuying reminded Chang Pingning to pick up the big conch and go to the other side to pick it up.Chang Pingning nodded, carrying the barrel and iron pliers and preparing to go offshore, when she heard her mother-in-law remind her again.

"Ningning, I will call you before the tide comes in. When I call you, you must come over. Otherwise, you will be swept away by the water and you will not be able to come back." Ye Xiuying looked serious.

When Chang Pingning heard "I can't come back," she felt the danger, nodded vigorously, and assured Mother Guo.

Except for the crabs at the beginning, Chang Pingning didn't see any other crabs. Fortunately, there were more conches and clams.Chang Pingning picked up half the bucket.

As the sea water lapped at the sand, Chang Pingning felt a hint of danger and took a few steps closer to the shore.Along the way, I saw a few more conchs and a mass of black thorn-like things.

Chang Pingning didn't know what it was and planned to pick it up and ask her mother-in-law.Unexpectedly, I heard my mother-in-law’s call soon.

"Is the tide going to rise?" Chang Pingning returned to her mother-in-law and saw that Guo Bomo had also brought his second brother Guo Zhongzhou to the beach at some point.Chang Pingning looked at Guo Bomo and looked away with embarrassment.

"Come on, let's go." Ye Xiuying looked at somewhere on the shore with a serious expression, turned around and was about to leave, when she saw the barrels of three children beside her, "Ning Ning, why did you pick up the sea urchin?"

Chang Pingning's eyes were still on the sea, and she noticed that other people rushing to the sea gradually showed signs of walking towards the shore.Hearing what my mother-in-law said, I didn't react for a moment and was stunned: "Is this a sea urchin?"

Chang Pingning's tone was full of surprise.

In the last life, for some reason, the way to eat sea urchin fried rice suddenly became popular. Dong Xiuyuan, who became the county magistrate, also liked this kind of food. In order to please Dong Xiuyuan, Chang Pingning learned how to make it.But the sea urchin she saw was a big yellow ball.

"Yes, although it looks big, sea urchin is not valuable. Sister-in-law." The second brother Guo Zhongzhou explained.

Chang Pingning looked at her mother-in-law and Guo Bomo next to her. They both nodded and did not refute Guo Zhongzhou's words.Chang Pingning didn't know whether to tell them about the sea urchin fried rice.

But soon, Chang Pingning heard her mother-in-law remind them to walk faster and go to "that house" to deliver seafood. If they go late, they won't be able to sell it at a high price.Chang Pingning quickened his pace, but the barrel in his hand was heavy and it was difficult to walk.

Chang Pingning noticed Guo Bomo's big hand reaching over to help him carry the bucket away, and at the same time handed him the iron pliers.

"Brother -" Guo Zhongzhou noticed his actions and wanted to reduce the weight of his bucket, but was hit on the head by his mother, "Mom, why did you hit me on the head?"

"Stop talking, we'll be there in a minute." Ye Xiuying glared at her second son.

Chang Pingning lowered his head shyly.

Not long after walking, Chang Pingning heard the sound of huge waves behind him.She turned around in surprise and found that the place where she was standing had been flooded with the sound of waves.

"So Mom said don't miss picking up seafood and leave in time." Ye Xiuying saw Chang Pingning's horrified expression and urged everyone to walk faster.

Chang Pingning was not only frightened by the rising tide, she also thought of the "flood" that had occurred in her previous life.At that time, she had already moved into the city with Dong Xiuyuan, but she heard that the Chang family was severely affected by the disaster.

What about Guojia Village by the sea?
