Lee Fei scratched his head awkwardly. Xiuqin was right, he needed a lot of money to fix the road, it was not a small amount.

”Alright Fei, stop thinking so much, big sis believes that you will be able to earn a lot of money in the future. When the time comes, we will fix the road and benefit our Green Mountain Village's fellow villagers.”

Although Xiuqin hated Wang Daya and the others, the rest of the villagers were all simple farmers who treated Xiuqin very well. Even if Xiuqin had been married into their family, they still had deep feelings for each other.

If not for the help of her fellow villagers, Xiuqin would not have endured until today, and would have been plagued by Wang Daya and the Kong Ergou long ago.

”Don't worry Elder Sister Xiuqin, once I am rich, I, Lee Fei, will definitely not forget our fellow villagers here. I will even lead everyone to become rich.”

Xiuqin nodded, she believed in what Lee Fei said.

”Let's go into the sea to catch scallops. You still have to get up early to deliver the goods tomorrow.”

Xiuqin stood up, her slim figure walked past Lee Fei, and Lee Fei quickly followed.

Catching a scallop is a physical activity. You have to bend over to grab at the bottom of the water. After a while, your back will ache.

But Lee Fei's health was good, so he was not afraid of being tired at all. He followed Xiuqin and each of them took a bucket, quickly grabbing it.

There were too many scallops at the bottom of the sea. Lee Fei and Xiuqin immediately grabbed one of them, and after a while, they filled up half a bucket.

Tonight, Lee Fei had to grab at least two hundred kilograms of scallops in order to temporarily satisfy Lin Ya's seafood shop's needs. In the future, his demand would be even more, so he didn't dare to slack off.

The moon was almost up, and the five buckets of scallops weighed about two hundred pounds.

Although there were many scallops, they were light in weight, so there were no less than a thousand scallops worth two hundred kilograms. It was also quite time-consuming.

”Elder Sister Xiuqin, let's call it a day.”

Lee Fei stood up and looked at Xiuqin, who was still holding onto the scallop.

”Have you caught enough?”

”Enough, today is enough.”

Xiuqin heaved a sigh of relief, she was not as strong as Lee Fei. When she stood up, she felt pain in her waist and back, if she continued to grab onto things like this, she would not be able to hold on.

The two of them carried the scallops back. It was too hot for them to sleep, so they sat on the stone steps in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

”Fei, what do you think of living in such a hot place like the Heavenly city folk? Their place is not as cool as our countryside.”

”Elder Sister Xiuqin you don't know, city folk has air conditioning, that guy can breathe cold air, it feels good.”

”There's such a thing?”

Xiuqin obviously did not know about air-conditioning. Although she had married from outside, her hometown was also poor, otherwise, such a beautiful Xiuqin would not have married into Green Mountain Village.

”Of course there is. Turn on the air conditioner and go to bed. It would be a great day.”

Lee Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead, even feeling a bit envious in his heart. The night of the third day was the worst. He woke up several times in the middle of the night and his body was covered in sweat the next morning.

”That thing must be expensive, right?”

”Three thousand, right? Five or six thousand for the larger ones, and there are even more expensive ones.”

”It's so expensive. It's even more expensive than our annual income.”

”If it was in the past, it would indeed be expensive, but now it is different. Elder Sister Xiuqin, you have forgotten my ownership and scallops.

”Fei, you better not spend this money carelessly. Save it for your future wife.”

Xiuqin reminded Lee Fei, afraid that he would run out of money.

”It's still too early to get a wife. The wives outside aren't as beautiful as you, Elder Sister Xiuqin. I just like staying with you.”

Xiuqin rolled her eyes at Lee Fei.

”What nonsense are you talking about? Big sister is already married! How can you stay together with me? You're heartless!”

”But now, you're the only one left. Why can't you stay together?”

Lee Fei's eyes were burning hot. He had indeed been deeply moved by Xiuqin's beauty and kindness.
