Liu Liangcai and Zhou Yu chatted as they cast their net into the sea. The atmosphere was relaxed.

“That’s right. The weather is so good, and the sky is so blue.” Zhou Xiaoli was sitting at the stern of the boat. She had taken off her shoes and socks and was soaking her feet in the sea. She looked up at the sky.

Zhou Yu could not help but worry. “Xiaoli, sit inside of the boat. Don’t sit too far out at the edge.”

“Don’t worry, Father. It’ll be fine.”

The icy cold seawater brushed past her feet. Zhou Xiaoli’s brows relaxed and she had a comfortable expression on her face.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was having fun, Zhou Yu could not bear to call her in again. He kept an eye on her while working.

After setting up the net, they usually needed to wait for two to four hours before they could reel in the net.

While waiting, the three of them sat on the boat and chatted.

Zhou Xiaoli simply lay down and covered her face with a straw hat. As the boat swayed slightly, she fell asleep unknowingly.

She fell into a deep sleep. In the end, she was woken up by the sounds of exclamation beside her.

“Father, Uncle Liu, what’s wrong? Why are you so happy?”

Zhou Xiaoli sat up with sleepy eyes and saw the two of them reeling in the net. Their hearty laughter could be heard from afar.

Liu Liangcai: “Hahaha, Little Li is awake. I told you that Little Li is a lucky star. Look, we caught a big fish this time!”

Liu Liangcai was very excited. “This is a small shark. I asked the fishmonger and he said that sharks of this breed are extremely expensive. The nobles in the county city love this.”

Zhou Yu was also extremely excited. “This weighs at least five to 10 kilograms!”

Zhou Xiaoli also hurried over to take a look. “Is this a shark? It’s so small. Aren’t sharks usually bigger?”

“This is a patterned bamboo shark. It’s a small shark. It can’t grow to a big size.”

Liu Liangcai explained.

The two of them were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths. They didn’t care about eating anything to fill their stomachs. Taking advantage of the momentum, the two of them went on to find another spot to set the second net.

They set a total of two nets today at sea. Both nets were full, and they had a good harvest.

As the afternoon approached, their boat slowly approached the coast.

The sun was setting in the west. People were coming and going on the coast. There were many merchants who came to buy fish.

After the fishermen docked, they would directly sell the fish to the fish merchants who came to buy it. Although the price would be cheaper in comparison to selling it in the county, they would save a lot of trouble transporting the fishes themselves.

Moreover, the fish would not be fresh after being left for too long.

“Brother Liu, are you selling fish today?”

As soon as they reached the shore, many familiar faces greeted them.

“Yeah, how was your harvest today?”

“Sigh, don’t mention it. I casted two nets and caught only a few small fishes and prawns! Aiyo, good lord, you guys had a good harvest this time. There are sharks too!”

“Hey, I’m a little lucky today.”

After greeting them, Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai carried two large buckets of fish down from the boat.

Because Liu Liangcai fished often, he was very familiar with the other buyers and fishermen. After getting off the boat, the two of them went straight to a middle-aged businessman.

After weighing and calculating the money, the two buckets of fish were sold for 1,800 copper coins.

This was something Liu Liangcai had never expected.

When he heard the number, he was in a daze.

At this moment, many fishermen had already returned one after another. When they saw that they had received such a good price for their catch, they were envious.

They did not stay at the coast for long after receiving the money. They packed their things and hurriedly left.

When they arrived at the village, Liu Liangcai gave half of the money earned to Zhou Yu. So the two of them each received 900 copper coins.

Zhou Yu waved his hand. “That would not do, I’m using your boat after all. How can we split it equally?”

Liu Liangcai forcefully stuffed the money into Zhou Yu’s hands and said seriously, “Take it quickly. Let me tell you, it’s all thanks to your Little Li that we were able to catch so many fish this time!”

“I’ve already said that this girl is blessed. You don’t know this but when I fished alone and even on the best day, my catch would sell for only 100 copper coins.”

Under his insistence, Zhou Yu could not refuse anymore.

—

“What, 900 copper coins!”

In the Liu family, Lin Xiujuan was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her seat.

Liu Liangcai hurriedly patted her. “Aiya, lower your voice!”

“We’re in our own house. What’s there to be afraid of?” Lin Xiujuan was extremely excited. She wiped her hands on her body. “Come, let me see.”

Liu Liangcai handed her the heavy money bag.

After taking the money, Lin Xiujuan couldn’t stop smiling. She hurriedly poured the money onto the table and started counting.

After a while, she thought of something and asked, “Oh yes, hubby, would the Zhou family go to fish tomorrow?”

Liu Liangcai was washing his feet. When he heard this, he raised his head and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re unwilling to let Big Brother Zhou go with me again?”

“Let me tell you, when I’m catching fish alone, we can’t even get 100 copper coins from the small catch!”

His wife was good at everything except that she was money-minded.

When he returned, he was worried that Lin Xiujuan would lose her temper when she heard that the money was split equally between the two families.

...

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiujuan glared at him. “Look at you. Do I look like an unreasonable person?”

“What I mean is, since the Zhou family doesn’t have a boat either, let him know that he does not have to be courteous with us. We’re all neighbors. It’s only right for us to help each other.”

Liu Liangcai raised his eyebrows. “Look at that, the sun has risen from the west.”

Lin Xiujuan said angrily, “Look at what you’re saying. You make me sound like a bad person. I’m not an unreasonable person.”

Liu Liangcai chuckled. His sarcasm was evident.

Seeing her man’s expression, Lin Xiujuan sighed. “Alright, I’m a little greedy for money, but didn’t I do it all for our family?”

“Let me tell you, during this period of time, I pondered about it carefully and I realized something.”

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered, “This eldest daughter of the Zhou family must have been unlucky for 10 years. She started to prosper after leaving the Zhou family!”

Seeing that Liu Liangcai had a frown on his face while looking at her, Lin Xiujuan thought that he didn’t believe her. “It’s true. Don’t doubt me. When I was young, I heard from the older generation that a person with such good luck was most likely protected by immortals.”

“Think about it. She went to the river to set up a fishing basket and so did we. Why is she the only one who was able to catch big fish?”

“Also, when she went up the mountain, she picked up two wild boars. Look just how many people in the village went up the mountain to try their luck as well. Not a single person managed to pick up the fur from a wild boar, not to mention seeing a wild boar itself.”

...

“Therefore, after thinking about it, I feel that I should treat her better in the future. I’ll definitely be able to benefit from it.”

With that, she nodded affirmatively.

She felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.

She looked down at the money in her hand and the corners of her mouth tilted upwards that they were about to split behind her ears.

If it wasn’t for Zhou Xiaoli, her man would have never caught this many fish.

If it was said that it was a wild guess.

Lin Xiujuan’s guess was confirmed with the harvest they got from the next two days of fishing.

“Little Li, you must be tired from fishing. Look, you’ve lost weight. I cooked two eggs for you.”

“Ah, no need for it, no need for it. Let Yuanyuan and Fengfeng have it.”

Zhou Xiaoli was overwhelmed by Lin Xiujuan’s enthusiasm.

Ever since the two families started to fish together, Lin Xiujuan’s attitude towards her slowly changed.

Although the change was not a complete 180 degrees, it could be considered to be 100 degrees.

However, she could guess the reason for it.

Lin Xiujuan didn’t have any other problems other than that she loved money. The only thing that could move her was money.

Her family had earned a lot of money from the past three days of fishing and of course, she was all smiles whenever she met her.

Lin Xiujuan said, “Yuanyuan and Brother Feng have it. I specially made this for you. Hurry up and eat.”

Liu Liangcai shook his head and said, “Little Li, take it. It’s rare for your aunt to be so generous.”

Zhou Xiaoli had no choice but to accept the bowl of eggs.

At this moment, the scene in front of her suddenly flickered, and an illusion appeared again.
