The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! - Chapter 50
50 Preparing to Go Out to Sea to Fish
“If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened to my entire family.” Zhou Yu smiled bitterly.
He remembered clearly how cruel and heartless the Zhou family was to their family. The fact that they had chosen to sever all ties with them had completely disappointed him.
If not for Zhou Xiaoli’s arrival, their family’s fate would have been extremely difficult.
It was also unknown if he could ever wake up.
!!
“Therefore, I don’t care who you are. From tonight onwards, you are my daughter, my biological daughter!”
—
Zhou Yu did not tell this secret to Zhang Lan and the others, but he did as he said. He treated Zhou Xiaoli as his own daughter.
This completely dispelled Zhou Xiaoli’s worries.
After Zhou Yu suspected her, she had made plans to leave the Zhou family.
In her previous life, she was a koi and had no concept of home. However, after coming here, she experienced the true warmth of home for the first time.
She liked this family from the bottom of her heart. She liked her kind and honest parents and cute younger siblings.
“Sis, Sis, look at the new moves we learned from Brother Wei. They’re amazing.”
Zhou Xiaoyu pulled Zhou Junjun along and ran to Zhou Xiaoli. She waved her small fists and began to gesture with her feet as well.
Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but laugh at her tiny moves.
“Did your Brother Wei teach you this?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Wei Chiyu, who was building the livestock shed with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. Sis, you should learn from Brother Wei too.”
At this moment, Zhang Lan stuck her head out of the kitchen and shouted, “Third Sister, Brother Jun, don’t disturb your brother and sister. They’re doing something. Come to the kitchen and help Mother pick vegetables. We’ll eat vegetable rolls tonight.”
The two little guys cheered when they heard that they were having vegetable rolls for dinner. They responded and jogged into the kitchen.
Zhou Xiaoli smiled and lowered her head to continue working on the compass in her hand.
Ever since Zhou Xiaoli had the alternate space, she did not hide from them her talents any more. She no longer needed to explain to Zhou Yu why she knew things. For Zhang Lan, she simply told her that she had learnt it after she had the alternate space.
With the appearance of the alternate space, Zhang Lan could accept any magical things that happened thereafter.
With the spiritual spring water, Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu’s bodies became better and better.
In a month, Zhou Yu’s leg completely recovered. Now, he could work in the fields.
As for their house, it was time to put it on the agenda.
The bricks and tiles had been pulled out of the brick kiln. They were just waiting for the crops on the homestead to be harvested so they could begin building.
The ground on which Zhou Xiaoli’s family wanted to build their house on, had belonged to the Lu family. They used the land to plant beetroots and it was the right season then for the beetroot to be harvested.
The village chief had already informed them to harvest as soon as possible, so it was not a big problem.
After Zhou Yu recovered, he started to work hard to earn money.
Autumn had just passed, and it was the time when there was a shortage of food. Many families in the village had started to fish in the river and sea to supplement their families’ expenses.
Zhou Yu also wanted to go, but their family did not have any fishing boat, only fishing nets.
Coincidentally, Liu Liangcai, who lived next door, went out to the sea to fish every day recently.
After Zhou Yu recovered, Liu Liangcai was especially happy for his good brother.
After hearing his thoughts, he immediately said, “That’s good, I’m always going out to sea to catch fish alone. I’m afraid that things may go wrong. Why don’t you come with me? We’ll be at sea together.”
Zhou Yu: “Thank you so much. How about this? Since I’ll be taking your boat, I’ll bring the dry rations!”
The two of them hit it off immediately and decided that from tomorrow onwards, they would go out to sea to fish together.
“Father, are you going out to sea with Uncle Liu tomorrow?” Hearing this news, Zhou Xiaoli was a little excited. “Bring me along.”
She had long wanted to go to the sea to take a look.
Moreover, since she was a koi fish in her previous life, she still had the scent of a fish on her. With her on the ship, they would definitely return with a full load.
It would also allow them to have more money to spend.
That would be killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Yu rejected Zhou Xiaoli’s suggestion at first. “What are you going to do at sea? The sun on the sea is too glaring and you would be tanned.”
Zhou Xiaoli insisted, “It’s fine, I can wear a hat.”
As she spoke, she took out a straw hat. “Mother made it for me. The hat has a wide brim so I won’t be tanned.”
“Besides, Father, you’ve just recovered. Mother and I are worried if you go alone. If I go with you, Mother will feel at ease while she’s at home too.”
In the end, Zhou Yu could not persuade Zhou Xiaoli. He shook his head helplessly and finally agreed that she could go.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was able to go, Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun were tempted and clamored to follow their sister.
No matter what Zhang Lan said, the two little fellows did not buy it.
Even the youngest Zhou Xiaoyu learned to lie on the ground and make a scene. “No, no, no, I want to go too. I want to go too. I won’t get up if you don’t give it to me.”
Zhang Lan was so angry that she wanted to teach him a lesson.
Zhou Xiaoli hurriedly pulled Zhang Lan back. “Mother, let me do it. Go and prepare the dry rations for Father tomorrow.”
Knowing that the two little fellows would listen to Zhou Xiaoli, Zhang Lan nodded and threw away the broom in her hand. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you. If he’s still disobedient, call me. I’ll deal with them.”
With that, she put on her apron and went to the kitchen.
After Zhang Lan left, Zhou Xiaoli walked over and squatted down. She looked at Zhou Xiaoyu who was lying on the ground and asked, “Who did you learn this move from?”
Zhou Xiaoyu, who had been howling without tears while covering her face, saw Zhou Xiaoli’s enlarged face through the gaps between her fingers and smiled in embarrassment.
“Sis, she learned it from Liu Fengfeng. Liu Fengfeng rolled on the ground asking for candy yesterday and his mother bought it.” Zhou Junjun complained in a low voice.
Zhou Xiaoli held her hand to her forehead.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiujuan fell for it, but their family would not.
Zhou Xiaoli immediately put on a stern face and said to Zhou Xiaoyu who was on the ground, “Then you’ll be disappointed. In our family, you can’t get what you want by crying. Do you want to know how you can get it?”
The two little fellows listened to Zhou Xiaoli the most. Hearing this, their interest was instantly piqued.
Zhou Xiaoli also forgot about her intention to make a scene and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes.”
Zhou Xiaoli clapped her hands and stood up. “Alright, then get up first. Sit properly and I’ll tell you.”
As soon as her words left her lips, Zhou Xiaoyu got up from the ground with a grunt. She patted the dirt off her body and ran to the door. She carried a small stool back and sat in front of Zhou Xiaoli with Zhou Junjun.
Only then did Zhou Xiaoli say, “Today, I’ll tell you a principle. Whether it’s in our family or when you are outside in the future, it doesn’t mean that others should give in to you just because you cried and made a scene.”
“If you want to get what you want, you have to work hard for it. Not only will you get nothing from crying and making a scene, you might even be beaten for it.”
As she spoke, she pointed at the broom that Zhang Lan threw aside.
The two of them immediately rubbed their butts and blinked. “Sis, what is hard work?”
Zhou Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, “Look, I am making a compass now. If I don’t work hard to make it and just sit here in tears, would the compass be done all by itself?”
The two little fellows shook their heads. “No.”
Zhou Xiaoli continued, “If the farmers in the field did not work hard to sow seeds or remove the weeds, would the crops grow on their own if the farmers simply sat on the ground and cried?”
