Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 43: Selling Fish is Unfavorable

Jiang Chenghai shook his head and continued, "He said he only recognized Anyue. Finally, my father and I talked him into accepting the fish after a long time of persuasion."

An Yue asked again: "Did Shopkeeper Wang say anything else?"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai scratched his head and said in a confused manner, "He said that next time, no matter what, you must go with us to deliver the fish, and then we will accept our live fish."

An Yue thought, given Manager Wang's attitude, could it be that he has found someone else to supply him with live fish?

Everyone was puzzled by this matter.

After my grandmother took the cloth bag, she counted everything.

After counting, her face was still as happy as usual. She held the cloth bag close to An Yue, smiled and whispered, "Another four taels and forty cents."

Although it was not as much as before, at least I earned more than four taels of silver.

At this time, it was almost noon.

Grandmother Zheng took the silver into the house and put it away, then came out to put away her needlework, took off her apron, shook off the sparse rabbit hair on her clothes, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook lunch.

An Yue and An Nian followed one after another and went to the kitchen.

Wei saw her husband coming back and hurried out.

She got a pair of cotton shoes for Jiang Chenghai from the house, walked out and asked, "My husband is back."

Jiang Chenghai just glanced at her, but ignored her and walked straight to the main house.

Seeing how attentive Wei was, my grandfather felt it was inappropriate to just stand by and change his shoes before heading towards the kitchen.

Grandfather went into the kitchen to help pass the firewood and saw An Nian sitting under the stove.

He walked over, put his arms around An Nian and sat him on his lap, and asked An Nian, "Our little Nian Nian is at home today. Is he still having a fever?"

An Nian sat on his grandfather's lap, still playing with the bamboo clips in his hand, and shook his head and said, "Niannian's fever is gone! Tomorrow I can go to the wasteland with my sister to dig wild garlic."

Grandfather said lovingly, "Niannian just had an illness and is not fully recovered yet, so don't go digging wild garlic! You can just help at home with grandma."

An Nian suddenly got down from his grandfather's lap, looked at him like a little adult, and said, "Niannian, don't stay at home. Niannian should go to the wasteland to dig wild garlic and help your sister earn more money."

An Yue, who was washing vegetables, heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Little money-grubber! Health is the most important thing. Only when you are healthy can you earn more money."

An Nian added, "This time Niannian was sick and went to the town to see a doctor. My sister spent a lot of money. Niannian must hurry to earn it back."

Grandmother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, every year the little adults will help to earn money."

"Grandma cooked two eggs for Niannian. I asked my sister to apply a good massage to your skin during your nap. The bruises on your body will heal faster so that Niannian can earn more money."

"Grandma, after the eggs are rolled, can Nian Nian eat them with my sister?"

"Of course, little greedy cat."

As the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted and laughed, lunch was ready before they knew it.

As usual, the family had lunch together and then took a short nap.

After Anyue and Anyan entered the house, Anyue took a hot egg, wrapped it in cloth and gently rolled it around the skin.

After rolling the compress, he took out the ointment prescribed by the old doctor and applied it to An Nian before he fell asleep peacefully.

Half an hour later, the family members started to get up one after another.

An Yue thought that she needed to prepare more fish this time. The amount of fish she sent to the restaurant last time was too little, and would definitely not be enough for two days.

After waking up in the afternoon, An Yue prepared to go fishing with her uncle and grandfather, but An Nian still insisted on following An Yue.

An Yue had no choice but to take An Nian with her, but she couldn't let An Nian play by the pond. It would be troublesome if he fell into the pond.

So, An Yue accompanied An Nian to dig wild garlic in the wasteland, and the fishing was left to her grandfather and uncle.

Wei spent the whole day doing needlework in the house, making small clothes and hats for her unborn child.

My grandmother fed the livestock, washed clothes and cleaned the yard at home.

Suddenly, a group of people from the village walked towards the pond.

After a while, noisy voices were heard near the pond.

An Yue carried the backpack and led An Nian to the pond in a hurry.

I heard a few people chattering in the distance, but it was difficult to make out clearly. When I got closer, I found out that they were from the families next door to my grandfather's house.

I heard a woman's voice: "You can make money by fishing, so take us with you to make money!"

My grandfather and uncle kept hesitating and didn't know how to respond.

Just when the father and son were in trouble, An Yue and An Nian came from behind.

"Yueyue, what should we do?" Uncle Jiang Chenghai frowned and asked An Yue anxiously.

"Dear elders, it is really dangerous for a group of us to gather around this pond."

An Yue said loudly again: "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

A middle-aged man said disdainfully: "Go away... You are just a little girl, what do you know?"

Grandfather stopped what he was doing, stood up, and said seriously: "Zhang Dacai! Speak to me properly! This is my granddaughter. You really have to ask her about these things you are asking."

Several people looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Wuwen's words still carry a certain amount of weight in the village, but he actually listened completely to what a little girl said.

The woman asked, "Little girl, I see your family often catches fish at this pond. I want to know how you sell them?"

The woman said to An Yue, "The New Year is coming soon, and my family still has no money to buy new coats. I wanted to ask you how to make money from this fish."

Another old woman agreed, "Yes, yes. There are many fish in our paddy fields. We have to plow the fields after the Chinese New Year. The big and small fish die in the paddy fields. The children often get their feet pricked by fish bones when they go to the fields to plant rice."

The man who was called Zhang Dacai by my grandfather just now has restrained his disdain and said politely: "Actually, we just want to follow you and make some money to have a good New Year."

"After the New Year, the family will start buying all kinds of farm tools, and money will be needed everywhere."

An Nian looked at a group of people surrounding his sister, talking to each other nonstop.

He picked up the sickle, stood in front of An Yue, and shouted angrily at everyone: "Humph! You are not allowed to bully my sister!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing as they looked at the fierce-looking little kid in front of them, preparing to fight.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Little guy, we are not bullying your sister. We just need a favor from her."
