Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Not Short of that Bit of Money
“Oh, this is just fantastic, Changhai, you truly are Stone Bridge Village’s pride, always thinking of us for any good opportunity. Fishing and shrimping is what we do best. Just you wait, bright and early tomorrow morning I’ll head to the river to catch so.”
“Exactly, and there hasn’t been much to do in the village these past few days, we’ve all been idle. Now we have the chance to make so money, that’s just great.”
“Changhai, leave this matter to us, you just sit back and relax. We guarantee to catch the biggest, fattest fish and shrimp for you. Given our relationship, we absolutely won’t let you down.”
Once Jiang Changhai had spoken these words, the villagers couldn’t care less about being envious of the radio anymore, nor were they jealous of the Jiang Family any longer. They all excitedly pounded their chests, promising fervently.
Even Jiang Changhe and Jiang Changtao, seeing there was money to be made, were tempted.
“Big Brother, I’m going to catch fish too tomorrow,” said Jiang Changhe, in his simple way.
He had contributed ten yuan for his dad’s birthday and didn’t have much money left. His child was about to be born, and he was eager to seize every opportunity to earn money, to make plans for his son.
“Alright, it’s all the sa to who catches them, I’ll pay everyone,” Jiang Changhai made his stance clear.
He couldn’t let Jiang Changhe work for free just because he was his brother; after all, he wasn’t short of that little bit of money.
The village chief looked at Jiang Changhai with satisfaction. Although the young man had caused him quite a bit of worry in the past, he was soone with affection and loyalty.
Now that he had made sothing of himself, he hadn’t forgotten to help the villagers.
If only there could be a few more children in the village like Changhai who rembered their roots and made good, the chief would be even happier.
As Jiang Changhai was being praised and surrounded by the villagers, Yu Cheng was no exception. Many of the village boys circled around Yu Cheng, bombarding him excitedly with questions.
Even if, most of the ti, Yu Cheng might only respond to one or two out of ten questions, the kids still liked him just the sa.
Although Yu Cheng was sowhat aloof and not much of a talker, he was good at whatever he did, and being soone from the Capital City, the village kids all liked and admired him.
Only Zhaodi, unlike before, didn’t crowd around Yu Cheng. She stood silently at a distance, watching Yu Cheng, surrounded by people, with a heart full of suffering.
She wanted to ingratiate herself with Yu Cheng more than anyone else present!
But ever since she learnt that Jiang Mianmian had been reborn, she knew she would never be able to snatch away Yu Cheng, her great pillar of support.
She also understood why Yu Cheng had never liked her; it must be because San Ya had badmouthed her in front of him all this ti.
Da Ya still rembered how Zhaodi used to be so fond of Yu Cheng. Seeing her sister acting out of character by not approaching Yu Cheng, she asked in confusion, “Zhaodi, didn’t you really like Big Brother Yu? Now that he’s here, why don’t you go and talk to him?”
Er Ya was also puzzled, “Yeah, Zhaodi, didn’t you and San Ya go to town to call him before? Why aren’t you going over to see him now that he’s here?”
“Big Sister, Second Sister, I’m a grown girl now, it doesn’t look good to always hang around with the boys and play,” Zhaodi said, although inwardly she felt frustrated and depressed.
Seeing her pillar of support yet unable to get close to him was such an unbearable feeling.
The only thing that consoled Zhaodi during this ti was that her mother was very healthy.
What’s more, because this life had brought better food to the family table, her mother had eaten well and grown plumper by two sizes, a complete contrast to her previous life when she would only grow a belly but not put on weight.
