Chapter 100 The Heartless Stepmother Died
Bai Haijian wasn't pleased at all by Qin Yingxue's words: "But, the money I had to buy fishing nets and boat tickets came from Boss Zhang taking my seafood..."
Qin Yingxue secretly released Zhang San, then smiled and reassured him, "Haijian, Boss Zhang is good at buying seafood, didn't you leave some for him?"
After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she pointed to the several wooden buckets on the ground: "Two buckets of lobsters and sea urchins, what a bumper harvest!"
The other buckets were filled with sea fish of all sizes, but Qin Yingxue, being ignorant, couldn't name them.
Seeing that Bai Haijian was still somewhat sullen, Qin Yingxue asked, "How much did those two bosses pay to acquire your Golden Turtle Bass and Golden Fox?"
The money might be too little, and this kid might be unhappy about it!
"The golden turtle perch sold for two hundred yuan, and the other party offered three hundred yuan for a golden fox perch," Bai Haijian said sullenly.
Qin Yingxue made an exaggerated expression, picked at her ear, and asked excitedly, "How much?"
Zhang San had given her a brief explanation of the Golden Turtle Bass, so she had a general understanding of it, but she never expected that the other party would offer such a high price of two hundred yuan, which was a fortune in the 1980s.
That golden fox was even more expensive than the golden sea bass. It seems that next time I go out to sea, I'll have to choose to catch these rare fish.
Bai Haijian repeated it.
Qin Yingxue secretly took a breath, then grabbed Bai Haijian with exaggerated excitement: "Not bad! You sold it for five hundred yuan in one go! Bai Haijian, I didn't expect you to be so capable! Let me tell you, you made the right decision selling it to those bosses. Boss Zhang couldn't have offered such a high price. You'll see when Boss Zhang comes..."
"Auntie, Mr. Zhang is here," Bai Haijian whispered a reminder.
Qin Yingxue knew Zhang San had arrived, and greeted him with a bright smile, "Mr. Zhang, how much are you offering for this golden turtle perch?"
Qin Yingxue secretly gave Zhang San a wink.
Zhang San is a robot. No matter how intelligent he is, he can't be like a human and know Qin Yingxue's thoughts just by looking at her.
He blinked somewhat slowly, then looked at the golden turtle perch as Qin Yingxue prompted.
Qin Yingxue was somewhat exasperated, and quickly used her mind to input a command into Zhang San: offer 100 yuan as a purchase price for the Golden Turtle Bass.
Upon receiving the order, Zhang San beamed with joy: "Young man, you're in luck! I'll take this golden turtle perch for a hundred dollars."
"Auntie..." Bai Haijian immediately became anxious, as he wanted to give this golden turtle perch to his aunt.
"Auntie knows you are a grateful child, but Auntie really can't eat this kind of fish."
She was worried that eating such expensive fish would cause indigestion.
Before Bai Haijian could say anything, Qin Yingxue interrupted, "Haijian, your aunt hopes you'll have good luck, earn lots of money, and own your own boat soon. Your aunt is a country bumpkin and still likes to eat things like sea cucumbers, lobsters, and lobsters. How about we save the bigger ones for your aunt?"
Bai Haijian knew that Qin Yingxue would not accept the golden turtle perch today, so he could only nod dejectedly.
It was 100 yuan less than the previous owner, but Bai Haijian didn't mind at all and sold it to Zhang San.
Qin Yingxue had been silently observing the expression on his face, and upon seeing this scene, her heart was filled with emotion.
That's true, how could Song Yanchuan be wrong about the person he's set his sights on?
As for Yang Weijun...
Qin Yingxue saw the other person's eyes light up as Zhang San pulled out a large stack of banknotes from his bag.
Aside from the 100 yuan for the golden sea bass, the other abalone, lobster, and yellow croaker sold for 62 yuan each.
After Zhang San left, Qin Yingxue asked, "Everyone knows you caught so many fish. What will you say if they ask who you sold them to?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. There are buyers at the dock every day at dawn and dusk. Besides, what I have here are just ordinary seafood, so no one will notice them," Bai Haijian said confidently.
Qin Yingxue fell silent.
She believed that Bai Haijian wouldn't reveal Zhang San's identity, but that it would definitely arouse suspicion over time.
It seems it's time for Zhang San to expand his business.
"It's alright. Just tell the truth if anyone asks. Boss Zhang plans to buy more seafood, including dried seafood."
On her return journey, she secretly pondered that since she was going to take them in, she had to take care of everything.
In the 1980s, many fishermen had plenty of dried, high-quality fish maw, shark fin, and other valuables.
Some unscrupulous bosses come to buy, offering rock-bottom prices.
Bai Haijian's eyes lit up. He had no doubt as to why Zhang San hadn't told him this when he was there, but instead learned it from Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue touched her nose somewhat awkwardly. Hadn't she thought of that before?
Now that things had come to this point, she had no choice but to say it.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely spread the news." Bai Haijian said excitedly.
If my aunt had come last year, Mr. Zhang would have been able to come to the small fishing village to buy dried goods a year earlier.
Grandma wouldn't...
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yingxue waved goodbye to the Bai brothers with Yang Weijun.
Yang Weijun kept his head down and didn't say a word the whole way.
Qin Yingxue told him everything she needed to say, but there were some things he still had to figure out for himself.
As soon as she finished registering, Qin Yingxue noticed that something was off about the atmosphere.
The soldiers on guard looked at Yang Weijun with pity and sympathy.
Qin Yingxue remained silent and led Yang Weijun toward the military family compound.
It seems the medicine administered to Wu Suhua yesterday worked, but it remains to be seen whether things have unfolded as she hoped.
But if things go even halfway, Yang Weijun will have a home, and he won't have to worry about the future...
"Weijun, you're finally back! Something happened at your house last night, your stepmother died..."
A child about the same age as Yang Weijun ran over as soon as he saw Yang Weijun, his face full of excitement.
died?
Qin Yingxue was stunned. Somewhat disbelieving, she grabbed the child and asked, "Who did you just say died?"
"Wu Suhua! Yang Weijun's heartless stepmother!"
Although the child was a little shy, Qin Yingxue was beautiful and approachable, so she answered honestly.
Qin Yingxue suddenly let go of him, grabbed Yang Weijun who was in a daze and couldn't react, and hurriedly ran towards the Yang family.
My mind is a bit confused: How could he have died?
She only gave her a rabies-like drug that made her irritable and easily angered. She just wanted to use Yang Hongbin to teach Wu Suhua a lesson, but she didn't want to kill her!
Wu Suhua is dead, and she died in the military family compound. Will this implicate Yang Hongbin?
What will happen to Yang Weijun now that Yang Hongbin has been arrested?
When Qin Yingxue arrived at the Yang family's house, panting, she found the house completely dark and empty.
A neighbor saw Yang Weijun returning with a strange woman and kindly reminded him, "Yang Weijun, your father was slashed by Wu Suhua and taken to the town hospital this morning. Your stepmother is dead. The boss told you not to wander around after you get home..."
