Quick Travel: The Happy Life of the Enchanting Banshee

Chapter 208 The heroine’s lost brother when she was young 6

The three people in the main room were very happy when they saw their father coming. When his father came, it meant it was time for dinner. The three of them couldn't wait to drink the chicken soup made by their mother.

The three people were very discerning and quickly scooped up some water in the basin so that they could wash their hands and eat.

When Wang Lihua saw her boss coming, she put all the food on the table and waited for them to wash their hands and start eating.

Only after they had eaten and drank enough did they think about the fishing net.

Wang Lihua said: "Master, today my son and I went to the town to sell hares and fish, and we made a lot of money. Our son was smart enough to buy some threads and weave them into a big fishing net. , I saw that the line was very strong. I thought that you and your son could earn more by netting fish. It just so happened that the work in the fields was almost over, so we fished in the river to exchange some money for our children. Buy some cloth, buy some cotton, so that you can have cotton-padded clothes in winter.”

Wang Lihua did not expect to save money to send her children to school, but the money was not something their family could afford.

You must know that one semester requires two taels of silver. This is only the tuition fee paid to the master, not other fees.

You must know that the pen, ink, inkstone and rice paper are not cheap, and they are not something ordinary families can afford.

The reason why she wanted to save money to buy some cloth and cotton was because the winter here was very cold, and even adults couldn't bear the cold.

In previous years, they really had no hope. The clothes of their three children were all altered from adult clothes.

Either the big one can no longer be worn and the small one can wear it. Anyway, there is no new one, and those clothes are no longer warm.

But there is no way, who makes them not capable enough to bring a better life to their family.

Hearing his wife's words, Li's father was naturally very excited, and he wanted more.

If this is a considerable income, it can bring enough income to the family. Save some money and grit your teeth, if you really can't send your eldest son to school.

If you take a gamble like this, maybe your eldest son will actually achieve something in the future, which will make the family better, and help your younger son and daughter find a better wife and husband.

Father Li said: "Daughter-in-law, what you are saying is that you want to catch more fish, even if you don't sell them to our family for food."

They had just finished eating, so when they said this, they were naturally more eager to try out their son's newly made network to see if it worked.

This time, Li Qingheng did not help his mother clean the house, but followed Li's father non-stop to fish in the river at the head of the village.

Although other friends had already eaten at this time and came to the shallower water on the river to catch small fish.

But when they saw Li Qingheng and Li's father, they were even more excited. The sharp-eyed people clapped their hands and applauded when they saw the fishing net in Li's father's hand.

Now they were getting a lot of big fish, and they thought it would be great if they could get some of the small fish roes they didn't like.

After all, this is what Li Qingheng did last time.

The other children who were catching fish stopped rushing to catch fish and looked directly at Li Qingheng and Father Li.

The father and son naturally cooperated very well. They went to both sides of the river, pulled the fishing nets, and netted fish back and forth. They felt that the time was almost up, and they caught the first net.

We caught a lot of big fish, more than a dozen in total, and some were not able to escape, and there were also many small fish, too many to count. It was a great harvest.

There was also a big tortoise among them, and that tortoise weighed four or five kilograms.

Seeing such a big bastard, Father Li smiled even more.

Father Li knew that the big men in the town wanted to see this rare object, but very few people could catch it.

Those who study for money believe that turtle is a symbol of longevity. Rich people like to use it to make soup. It is said that drinking turtle soup can lead to longevity.

They, the country folk, don’t know whether it’s true or not, but they think that the turtle soup that the rich want to drink must be a good thing, a good thing to replenish the body.

Naturally, Li's father was reluctant to let his family members drink it. After all, no one knew whether the talk about longevity was true or false.

It's better to exchange some money to make your family's living conditions better.

There are also those small fish that cannot be sold at a high price. It is more economical to go home and let your wife cook a pot of small fish soup.

Li Qingheng didn't expect that such a big turtle could be made, which made the father and son cheer up and cast the second net.

One net after another, the sun set soon, and they also caught many big fish.

There were also small fish, and even the large buckets they brought couldn't hold the small ones that couldn't be sold at a high price. They divided some with the children and dispersed.

Father Li asked Li Qingheng to look at the fish. Father Li couldn't carry the buckets back home with a pole.

After first carrying a few barrels home on a load, the last two or two barrels were carried on the shoulders, and then Li Qingheng was asked to follow him back home.

Father Li looked at a bucket containing three or four of those big tortoises. He thought that he would follow his wife to sell them in a big restaurant in the town tomorrow.

Father Li did not think that his daughter-in-law could be sold at a high price, but he was afraid that the people in the restaurant would deceive his daughter-in-law because they saw that his daughter-in-law was a coward.

After all, turtles are a marketable and priceless thing. Naturally, if you can sell them for more money, you can sell them for as much money as possible so that your family can live a prosperous year.

What's more important is that these turtles can probably be sold for one year's tuition of his son, and Li's father is naturally beaming.

And the money from selling those big fish is enough for their family to eat rice for half a year.

It was a terrible day to clean up, and the family was overjoyed.

Especially when Father Li told everyone that these bastards could be sold for several taels of silver, the family members were very happy.

I didn’t expect that this thing, which was not meant to be eaten or drank, and had a shell as hard as a bastard, could be sold for so much money.

Wang Lihua didn't believe it at first, but after hearing what her man said, she realized that this thing was something that rich people like as their masters.

After hearing that it could prolong life, Wang Lihua immediately didn’t want to sell it. She wanted to keep one for her family to replenish themselves?

Li's father said: "As a woman, this thing is not a rare thing in the countryside. When you get to a small one in the future, you can take it home and make soup to make up for it. But these big ones are still sold." , let your family live a good life first, and then talk about it."

After hearing Father Li's explanation, Wang Lihua felt good.

The most important thing is for their family to live a better life, and everything else is illusory.
