Chapter 41: The Clan Wife
Lu Sheige's half bucket of fish was not sold in the end.
The sun is high in the sky, making people feel a little lazy and want to doze off.
Lu Quan was punting the boat, and Lu Xiangge was sitting on the bow using a knife to scale and dissect the fish.
There are all kinds of fish in Hong Lake.
When eaten in the mouth, wild miscellaneous fish has a faint aroma, unlike the artificially cultured fish in the previous life. No matter how well cooked, the fish meat always has an indescribable muddy smell.
There were more than ten or twenty fish in half a bucket. Lu Xiange worked very carefully, removing the scales carefully. She cleaned even the smallest fish.
From Nanyang to Jiangjiaba, it takes about half a day to travel by land. If you travel by water, it only takes an hour if the wind and water are smooth.
For most of the journey, father and son were silent.
One is focused on setting up the boat, and the other is focusing on handling the wild fish in the bucket.
A gust of wind blew across the lake, blowing the waves on the lake, and the waves sparkled in the sunlight.
Lu Xiangge's originally depressed thoughts dispersed.
"Dad, when we get back, let mom make this fish into a small fish pot sticker."
Qiu's fish pot stickers were improved by Lu Sheige. Instead of boiling a pot of plain water fish with salt and water in the past, Qiu's sun-dried soybean paste is used to stir-fry until fragrant, plus spicy onions, ginger and garlic. Now Qiu's
The fish pot stickers made by our family are delicious and fragrant. With the circle of pancakes stuck on the side of the pot and the chewy texture when you take a bite, they have become a favorite of the whole family.
With just these small fish pot stickers, Lu Sheige could eat half a piece of pancake more than usual.
"OK."
Lu Quan glanced at the fishing nets hanging on the side of the boat, "How about we cast a few more nets, maybe we can catch big fish, and ask your mother to make fish head soup for you later."
"No, let's go back early."
Lu Sheige coded the washed fish one by one with salt and placed them in a wooden barrel. He also washed the fish-killing knife and put it in his pocket.
"We've been out for half a day. If we cast the net again, we won't be able to go back in time for lunch. Mom should be worried."
In the early morning, because they were in a hurry to reach Nanyang, Lu Quan and Lu Xiangge set off from Jiangjiaba by boat at dawn.
Calculating the time, one round trip, plus the time spent in Nanyang, I agreed with Qiu to rush back for dinner.
Now the sun has risen high in the sky, and they are still more than half an hour away from Jiangjiaba.
Then we stop the boat in the middle of the lake and cast a net for fishing. It will definitely take an hour until we reach Jiangjiaba. By then, we don’t know how anxious Qiu will be!
Lu Quan glanced at the empty lake with some regret. This place was about the center of Honghu Lake, and it was far away from villages and towns. Fishing boats rarely reached here on weekdays.
When he came today, he discovered that there is a flat beach slightly above the water in the middle of the lake. On weekdays, the water plants are lush and it is a paradise for wild ducks and birds. When the water is deep, the water plants are submerged into the water, and the fish here are also
There are more than other places.
If we can stop the boat and cast the net, we will definitely gain something.
It's a pity that I can only come again next time...
Lu Quan didn't take his eyes back, he just felt something flashing in the water.
He paused, squinted his eyes, and looked carefully at the flat beach with lush aquatic plants not far away. The wind blew across the river, and the snow-white waves made ripples, as if something was rippling along the river mixed with the aquatic plants.
The ground swings open.
"Dad, tell me, what will happen to Mrs. Chen if she finds out that her sister, brother-in-law, entire family, as well as her brother and nephew died because of Chen Shiyu?"
Lu Quan didn't realize for a moment who the Mrs. Chen Lu Sheige was talking about. Only after hearing it did he realize that the Mrs. Chen she was talking about was probably her aunt Shen Qinglian who was just released from prison today.
Lu Quan frowned, how could this child call his aunt like this?
Also, she doesn’t call her uncle or mother by name, so why?
Lu Quan was thinking deeply, but he didn't dare to say anything about this matter. He was a little worried after all. Xiaosi had experienced the disaster of destroying his family, and it was hard to say that he was depressed!
If Lu Xiange knew what Lu Quan was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice.
It's not that she doesn't scream, but she has been living in the Lu family since she arrived. She has become accustomed to the role of the Lu family's mistress. She has no sense of involvement in her original parents, aunts and uncles.
Fortunately, Lu Quan naturally changed the topic: "Your aunt..."
Lu Quan didn't know how to go on. He was not familiar with Chen Shikui. It was just because Lu Yuanshan rescued his family last winter that he had heard some things about Lu Yuanshan, including Lu Yuanshan's brother-in-law Chen Shikui and Lu Yuanshan.
Some things about the father-in-law Shen family.
The Shen family was a large family in Nanyang, with a large family and luxuriant branches. Although Xiang Ge's grandfather's branch was considered a side branch, the family also had some land and property shops, and their lives were much better than those of ordinary families.
In addition, Lu Xiangge's grandfather had a reputation as a scholar. Although he did not get the Jinshi degree, he was quite prestigious in the local area.
Originally, Shen Qinglian would not marry a second-rate man like Chen Shizhen who lived on the street.
The young man Chen Shizhen met Shen Qinglian by chance, and he never forgot about it, vowing to embrace the beauty. However, the Shen family had a clean family background, and Shen's father was famous, so he naturally looked down on a dissolute person like Chen Shizhen. In order to marry a wife, it is said that Chen Shizhen even
Used some tricks.
As for the reason, Lu Quan also knew what was heard and did not know the real story.
After his marriage, Chen Shizhen, with the help of the Shen family, took up the post of director of the local pavilion.
Until Shen Qinglian married into the Chen family and gave birth to two sons, all the young talents in Nanyang County couldn't believe how the flower from the Shen family could be inserted into the cow dung of Chen Shizuo.
"Your aunt's toughness of character is unparalleled."
After thinking for a long time, Lu Quan only said this sentence.
Lu Xiangge tilted his head slightly and stared at the sparkling river.
At that time, when she walked to the bullock cart holding the wooden barrel containing fish, she saw Shen Qinglian sitting upright on the bullock cart, wearing shabby clothes, looking haggard, but with a straight back.
This woman's months in prison have not erased her innate arrogance.
Even though her eyebrows were downcast, Lu Sheige could still see the tenacity and forbearance shining in her slightly raised eyes.
Such a woman has spent a long time in prison, but her eyes are open and cheerful, without any humility, which shows that her character is not inferior to that of ordinary people.
For such a woman to marry that bastard Chen Shikui, it really makes many people feel unwilling to do so!
She was originally supposed to be like her sister, Shili Hongzhuang, marry a young talent like Lu Yuanshan, become the clan mother and daughter-in-law, have children and live a prosperous and leisurely life. But now, because of Chen Shikui, she has no choice but to
Don't go to jail for your husband and endure all kinds of humiliation.
As well as her sister's whole family, her brothers from her mother's side, and her nephews and nephews, all of them were ruined because of Chen Shizuo, and they were also accused of being collaborators with bandits.
Will she hate it?
It’s okay if Chen Shizhen died outside. What if Chen Shizhen came back alive?
