Chapter 155

"The fish in the underground river is so fat!"

Many people were surprised and envious when they saw the big fish in the bucket.

The man who accidentally hit the fish was holding the bucket and was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. He didn't mind people running around to watch. Anyway, he hit the fish and no one could take it away!

After hearing what Li Jinmei said, Xu Qing also ran to have a look curiously.

What a big fish! At least two and a half catties. It looks like grass carp.

Generally speaking, the underground river does not produce fish. After all, it lacks light, oxygen and food. There are not necessarily small fish, let alone a big grass carp.

Therefore, it is only possible that it comes from the external water body. This underground river may connect with a big river and lake. When the climate changes, the fish from outside do not know how to come here.

Just like the stream in the back mountain of Xu Qing's family, there were many fish, but after the drought, they didn't know where to swim.

If so, there must be more than one fish under the river.

Everyone has thought of it, but no one dares to act rashly. Now we are very organized and disciplined. We always ask the patriarch for advice before doing anything. After all, it depends on the patriarch's arrangement when there are more monks and less flesh.

We haven't spoken yet, but someone can't wait.

"I'll take the fish. Make a price." The woman with the gold hairpin on her head walked up to the man holding the bucket, staring at the fish in the bucket, with a haughty attitude.

The man looked at her: "not for sale."

"Is five Liang silver enough?" The woman took out her purse and a silver spindle, with a strong voice, "here you are."

"Said not to sell, you are not sick ah!" The man was angry, too.

"What are you talking about?" The woman angrily pointed to the man, "five Liang silver to buy you a fish, you are not willing to, also said that I am sick, you are sick! You don't know how to make money when you have money! "

The man rolled his eyes and didn't care about her. Five Liang silver is a huge sum of money for a farmer, but now five Liang silver is not as valuable as five Liang rice. He's a big fish with more than two Jin. He's not willing to sell even fifty Liang!

The woman angrily left. Before she left, she glared at the man with a look of "you wait and see", not to mention how arrogant.

"Who is she?" Asked Xu Qing.

"Your brother and daughter-in-law, what's your name? Oh, Cheng Yingying!" A woman next to her said, "look at her dress. It's like she's afraid that other people don't know her family has money. It's not too heavy to wear so many jewelry!"

Among a group of plain dressed women, a woman with a gold hairpin and a pink and green dress suddenly appeared. It was like a Peacock flying from a group of sparrows, scratching its head and making a pose everywhere. The peacock thought it was superior. Although the sparrows were silent, they didn't know how much to despise.

"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Qing calm face, "I do not have a brother, where the brother-in-law."

The aunt came back to herself and said with a quick smile, "Oh, I'm wrong. Don't take it to heart."

We all know that Xu Jie got married, but Xu Qing didn't go. Although he didn't say it on the surface, we can see that Xu Qing doesn't recognize Xu's family at all, and it's natural that she would hate to be involved with Xu's family.

"I heard that Xu Jie's father-in-law is rich. They carry two big bags of gifts. Apart from one bag of clothes, the other bag is full of gold, silver and jewelry!"

"Well, how do you know?"

"Old lady Xu is showing off in front of me. She says that her son is dragon and Phoenix, so she can marry a lady from a rich family. Even her dowry is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Tut tut!"

Someone disdained to cut a: "gold and silver jewelry what use, can eat?"? I'm still hungry without food. "

"What a rich family, just to escape! We took them in with kindness. They didn't look at people with a straight eye. They thought they were big girls. They didn't even know how to burn the bath water. They also gave us orders. If it wasn't for her father's sake, my mother would have slapped her in the face and taught her how to behave! "

Then, not far away came a thin middle-aged man, dressed in silk and a heavy jade pendant around his waist. It was Cheng Yingying's father, but instead of putting on Cheng Yingying's domineering posture, he was amiable and smiling.

"Everyone is here. I'm sorry Yingying didn't know how to make you angry just now. I'm here to compensate you." With that, Cheng Dafang sincerely bowed to everyone and said with a smile, "please don't give her the same opinion as a little girl. That child is spoiled by me. He always talks and does nothing but think. I will discipline her well!"

People's attitude of being a father is so low that a group of their elders are not good. They really haggle with a 16-year-old girl.

Everyone was upset, but said nothing more.

Xu Qing stares at Cheng Dafang for a while. This man is smiling and humble, but his eyes inadvertently show some shrewd calculation. Obviously, he is not a simple person.

At this time, the patriarch came, and everyone turned to the patriarch and asked if they could fish.Looking at the big fish in the bucket, the patriarch said with a smile, "I didn't expect that there were such big fish in the river. What a surprise! Well, it's a pity that such a big fish won't be eaten. Don't worry. Listen to me

All of a sudden, everyone was looking forward to the patriarch.

"I don't know if there are many fish below. If there are few fish, it won't be enough for each family to share. But for such a good thing, I think it's better for everyone to have a bite of fish."

The patriarch's words were approved by most people, and those who wanted to eat alone were embarrassed.

"Patriarch, does everyone have this fish? But recently, a lot of outsiders have come to our village. This is... " As soon as someone mentioned it, it immediately attracted many people's support.

It's justifiable for everyone to be xenophobic. After all, there are more monks and less flesh. They can't divide themselves. Why can those who come from behind and do nothing enjoy the same rights as them.

Hearing this, Xu Qing said in a voice: "I think what you say is reasonable. I can make the decision. Duanmu Xiang and Hao Wei don't participate in the division of fish."

Xu Qing's words immediately won everyone's favor.

Xu Niang and Xu Jie come to listen to a tail. Although Xu Qing's words make Xu Niang unhappy, after all, Cheng Dafang's family is her in laws. Xu Niang has been divided into her own people for a long time. However, seeing that so many people are not willing to share the fish with outsiders, Xu Niang knows the current affairs very well and doesn't say anything.

The patriarch stretched out his hand and asked everyone to be quiet: "well, no matter how many fish there are, in order to let everyone have a mouthful of fish, all the fish we fished up are cooked in a big pot, and we 160 people share them, and outsiders don't participate in it!"
