Reborn 1980: The little ancestor who became a rough educated youth

Chapter 28 Collecting Crabs

She straightened her back, like a cat with exploded fur.

"I just stood on the land of my own village and said a few words that were not illegal. Why did you send me to the police station?"

"It's you..."

As she said that, Zhou Yinglan glanced at Xu Qiuqiu and said sarcastically, "If I heard you right, you want to collect overseas goods from everyone."

"With your current conditions..." Zhou Yinglan looked at the small shabby house with air leakage in all directions intentionally or unintentionally, "Are you rich? Can you afford everyone's wages?"

With that said, Zhou Yinglan seemed to have found the confidence and became aggressive as soon as she spoke.

Before Xu Qiuqiu could speak, she snorted coldly, "Besides, regardless of whether you have money or not, your behavior would have been just speculation a few years ago!"

"That's a crime! You really have to go to the Public Security Bureau and go to jail!"

Zhou Yinglan talked a lot.

The whole person was like a victorious rooster, just about to crow.

Not to mention Xu Qiuqiu, even the villagers couldn't stand such arrogance.

Don't worry about whether Xu Qiuqiu's matter is illegal or not.

Everyone knew that she had severed ties with the Xu family.

What does it mean that you, Zhou Yinglan, an aunt who has separated her family, comes to other people's homes and makes weird noises?
This was personally testified by the village party secretary!
Didn't you see Mrs. Xu and didn't come out to cause trouble?
Thinking like this, even if someone speaks directly.

"Zhou Yinglan, what you said is a bit too much. This little girl hasn't done anything yet, why has she committed a crime?"

"That's right. You said it yourself a few years ago. Now the national policy is different. Even if it's speculation, no one will care..."

"Yeah, don't say sour grapes when you can't eat them yourself."

"You're right. If you can't make money yourself, why don't you let others make money? What's wrong with that!"

"You...you!"

Seeing that she just said a few honest words, these people actually pointed their fingers at her one by one.

Zhou Yinglan was furious to death.

After making a sound, she opened her mouth to retort, "You people, now you have come to be good people. Why haven't I seen you take these siblings home before?"

"Now I hear people say that if they make money, they all become the masters of Qingtian. It's so shameless!"

"Don't think about it. Yesterday I just picked up a basket of seafood. How much money can I make? How can I have the money to collect crabs from you?"

"Maybe, she is thinking of ways to send you away!"

"Forty cents a pound, only fools like you believe this!"

Carrying a hoe on her back, Zhou Yinglan's mouth was like a barrage of words.

One sentence after another, it pokes directly into the heart of the heart.

The villagers also understood that when Xu Qiuqiu and his brother had no food or water at Mrs. Xu’s house, none of them came to help.

Now, as soon as they hear that there is money to be made, they can't wait to come to the door to find out the truth, and they feel somewhat guilty.

Zhou Yinglan said it so carelessly, no matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't help it.

"Zhou Yinglan, what you said is too unpleasant. You'd better say it clearly. Who are you calling a fool?"

"That's right, who doesn't know that you and Mrs. Xu came to our house and made a fuss over a fish a few days ago? Who is so shameless?"

"That's right, stop saying sarcastic words. Who doesn't know you? You're the most shameless person! We've already broken off the relationship, and you're still doing nothing in other people's homes!"

The villagers said something to each other, which almost made Zhou Yinglan so angry that she hit them with a hoe.

"What are you talking about? Have the guts to say it again!"

"Just say it..."

Seeing the villagers and Zhou Yinglan quarreling fiercely.

Xu Qiuqiu coughed twice and came out to smooth things over, "Okay, everyone, please stop arguing."

Hearing her voice, the villagers glared at Zhou Yinglan and finally shut up.They didn't help the two siblings when they were suffering.

Talking about this now is indeed suspected of pouring salt on other people's wounds.

"Qiuqiu, um...actually we..."

It's not that I don't want to take care of it, it's just that in this day and age, it's a lot of effort to support several of my children.

Not to mention raising two more from other people's families.

"I understand." Looking at the uneasy villagers, Xu Qiuqiu's face showed no emotion.

After all, no one is a saint.

Previously, no one in the Xu family wanted to take care of them.

Why should outsiders interfere?
Instead of paying too much attention to Zhou Yinglan, Xu Qiuqiu's eyes fell on the villagers.

"Don't worry, everyone. I, Xu Qiuqiu, keep my word. For [-] cents a pound, as long as you catch crabs, you can send them to me."

"As long as the crabs are qualified, I will pay you on the spot and I will never default on your debt!"

Never default!

Xu Qiuqiu said these four words with great eloquence.

It fell into the hearts of the villagers, and it was like a shot in the arm.

The hearts that were still playing drums have stabilized, and everyone no longer worries about whether Xu Qiuqiu has so much money.

Anyway, she just needs to pay if they bring the crabs!
"Okay! Since Xu Qiuqiu has said so, I will believe you for once!"

"I'm going to catch crabs right now. I'm sure they will be fresh and big. I just don't know how many you want?"

"This is..."

Xu Qiuqiu estimated how much crab roe would be needed to make ten cans of crab roe sauce.

"Of course, the more, the better. As long as you can catch them, I want them all!"

At worst, she can make spicy crabs and sell them at a stall.

"laugh!"

Listening to Xu Qiuqiu's bold words, Zhou Yinglan couldn't help laughing.

This damn girl still thinks she is some kind of big boss!
What a big breath!
Just wait, there will be a time when she cries!
Zhou Yinglan looked gloating, but at this moment, no one paid attention to her anymore.

Everyone present gathered around Xu Qiuqiu.

"Qiuqiu, are you serious? How much do you want?"

"Of course." Xu Qiuqiu nodded without hesitation.

Originally, she was worried that no one would be willing to help because of her previous reputation.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yinglan helped her by making such a fuss.

"Qiuqiu, you only want crabs? Are other seafood okay?"

People in the 80s really followed the crowd.

One person spoke, and others followed suit, "That's right, Qiuqiu, we live by the sea, and the most indispensable thing is seafood. If you accept other items, you have to tell us!"

"As long as you can name it, we can get it for you!"

Everyone started talking, and Xu Qiuqiu was not polite, "I'll be honest, in fact, not only crabs, I also sell other seafood very well."

"I only mentioned crabs because I was afraid of causing trouble to everyone. As for other seafood, I asked Tang Yu..."

"Hey, no wonder! Why are the girls from the village party secretary's family still picking up seafood on the beach at this time!"

Before Xu Qiuqiu finished speaking, a villager slapped her thigh, "Qiuqiu, do these other seafood also cost [-] cents a pound?"
