【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 144 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 24

Afterwards, the two of them strolled around the island and found a lot of fresh seafood, which they all put in their pockets.

At this time, the treasure-hunting mouse sent a signal to find her.

"Dad, please prepare some more seafood stew for the day. I'll go look somewhere else." Yun Xi was curious and moved closer with a flashlight.

Yun Xi saw Erbao standing on a cliff by the sea, sniffing with his little nose, confused and hesitant.

How come the smell disappears here?

"What's here?"

Yun Xi held up a flashlight and looked towards the sea and the cliff. There was a strange cave on the cliff that was deep and bottomless, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

"Squeak~"

Erbao scratched his head and cried out in grievance.

"Don't worry, I'll go down and take a look."

After shining the flashlight around and confirming that the cliff was not too steep and there was no danger, Yun Xi went down carefully. Erbao jumped onto her shoulders with quick eyes and hands. The man and the rat searched for a long time but found nothing.

Just when the two were about to give up, Yun Xi felt something move under her feet.

"Fish? Or crab?"

Yun Xi shone the flashlight and finally saw clearly that it was a big sea turtle, as big as a washbasin, swimming slowly out of a hole.

"Squeak!"

The treasure-hunting mouse shouted loudly and twitched its nose as it probed into the hole.

Yun Xi understood that the treasure should be inside. She bought some food that the turtle liked from the space and lured the turtle to swim away. Then she reached in and found a big stone at the deepest part. After throwing the stone away, she found another box.

But this is a stainless steel box.

"What could be inside? This iron gate looks difficult to open."

System 250: "There is a master key in the mall."

"Master key? Is it expensive?"

"Not bad, I want ten taels of gold."

Yun Xi said with great wealth and generosity: "Come one!"

With the master key, the box was quickly opened. Yun Xi looked at the photo on it with a solemn expression.

"It's a photo of two groups of people fighting."

System 250: "Yes, two groups of pirates are fighting fiercely."

"Wow, these photos are very clear. System, do you think these people have been whitewashed?"

“Some of it has been whitewashed.”

"Good boy, I'm going to report them."

Yun Xi put the photo away and looked down. "It's gold. It weighs about 20 kilograms. I'm rich."

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Yun Xi looked up and said, "I found something. Wait for me to go up."

A few minutes later, Zhou Fu looked at the people in the photo and gritted his teeth, saying, "That's right, it's them. The fight was brutal, blood was shed. My eldest son and I fled in panic, and then we encountered a typhoon, which blew our boat away. We drifted on the sea for several days, but luckily we survived."

"So that's how it is. No wonder. Hide this evidence and don't tell anyone. Hand it over to the county public security bureau tonight."

Yun Xi handed the photo to him and hid the gold herself. No wonder the treasure on it was only some broken diamonds. It turned out that it was just a cover-up. The real big head was placed here.

On the way back, the two of them put the traps back. It was just dawn when they arrived at the dock. The fish in the traps were sold for four hundred yuan. At this time, Lin Xiaobei and his four companions also arrived. They asked Da Gouzi to drive the boat and find a place to put the traps. Yun Xi and Zhou Fu went to the second-floor cabin and slept until noon.

"Big Dog, did you catch any fish?"

Big Dog greeted Zhou Fu and said, "Uncle, there's nothing good here. We only have some octopus and whitebait."

Zhou Fu nodded casually, "It's okay, this kind of thing depends on luck."

Yun Xi woke up, washed her face, and drank a lot of warm water, and her thirst felt better.

This body is old and it is getting better after using the physical strengthening fluid.

"How about seafood stew and rice for lunch?"

"Auntie, I want to eat the noodles you made." Big Dog said with a smile: "No matter how much rice I eat, I always feel full."

"Okay, then I'll make seafood noodles."

Making noodles was not complicated. Yun Xi mixed two bowls of noodles and let them sit. She cleaned the seafood that Zhou Fu had prepared in the evening and put them into the pan to stir-fry. When they were half cooked, she added cold water and continued to cook. Then she began to roll out the noodles.

She prepared seven or eight kilograms of noodles for six people to eat, and she was sweating all over.

When the water in the pot boils, add one third of the noodles, wash a handful of vegetables and put them in, and wait until the noodles are cooked.

The noodles were chewy and were eaten up completely. Yun Xi even ate more than two bowls herself.

There was a small island nearby with shade from trees, so everyone went down there to rest. Lin Xiaobei silently took a basket and a sack and went to the beach to catch seafood.

Yun Xi noticed it but didn't say anything. The Lin family was not well off, especially with the eighth child being expected. The pressure was enormous.

Yun Xi slept for six or seven hours in the morning, and at noon, she slept for more than an hour. It must be said that she slept very comfortably with the sea breeze blowing, and the sound of the waves was hypnotic.

There was not much harvest in the afternoon, but Zhou Fu was not in a hurry. It was impossible for him to harvest so much every day, and the sea was not his home. Therefore, he returned to the dock at around four o'clock.

After parking the boat, Zhou Fu handed the fish selling matter to Yun Xi, and went to Lin Shu to collect the payment for the goods plus the money from his family, which amounted to more than 60,000 yuan. After depositing it in the bank at the township credit union, he walked directly to the county. The evidence in his arms was very hot. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Fu did not show up. He stuffed the things into the crack of the door of the police station, left quietly, found a guesthouse to sleep in for one night, and took the first bus back to the township the next day.

When Zhou Tingyu saw his father, he pulled him aside to talk in private.

"Dad, the big guy has been caught."

"Really caught?"

Zhou Fu let out a long sigh, feeling relieved. "What's the charge?"

Zhou Tingyu whispered, "Smuggling, human trafficking, my second brother might have to identify them later."

Zhou Fu nodded, "Okay, do you know how long the sentence will be?"

"Don't worry, Dad. He won't be back for more than ten years." Zhou Tingyu said bitterly, "He might even be sentenced to death. Several of those who were tricked into going to Southeast Asia died, and some haven't even escaped yet."

"Death penalty is good, this guy is very bad."

Zhou Fu patted his son's shoulder and said, "Work hard. Your mother said we should go to the capital to play in the winter."

Zhou Tingyu heard a little bit and said, "Okay."

In the afternoon, when Zhou Fu returned home, Yun Xi had already returned from going out to sea with the big dogs. They had only sold more than a thousand pieces of seafood yesterday and today. Apart from the cost of fuel and labor, they didn't make much profit.

"Old man, how's it going? Is it done?"

Zhou Fu: "I deposited the money in the bank. The evidence was submitted anonymously. I thought about it and was afraid of retaliation."

"well done."

For the next few days, the income from going out to sea was not much. Yun Xi would give some instructions every one or two days and help them catch some valuable seafood, earning tens of thousands of yuan every month.

In September, school started, and Zhou Lingling had already taken her salary and set off to return to school.

"Study hard after school starts, listen to your teacher and try your best to get into the county middle school. If you can get into the county experimental middle school, then you can fulfill Niuniu's three reasonable wishes."
