Upon hearing her words, Chen Shanzhang exclaimed in surprise, "How far away is it? How can they possibly have such a variety of seafood here?"
"If we're talking about taste, don't all fresh seafood taste the same? Fresh..."
Both Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu laughed.
Lin Chang'er felt a little uncomfortable listening to this; she had a feeling that Headmaster Chen was targeting her.
Chen Shanzhang, in fact, still possesses a certain aloofness characteristic of an old scholar.
But ever since he started lecturing at the elementary school, he's been like a different person. He's always kind and gentle to her, and he's always very friendly when he talks to her.
But today, why did she detect a hint of disdain in his voice?
Lin Chang'er tugged at Wu Qingfeng's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Don't you think that Headmaster Chen seems to have swallowed some kind of explosive?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled lightly, "What do you mean?"
Lin Chang'er glanced furtively at Headmaster Chen and continued, "I feel like he has a problem with me? Is it because of me letting Chen Zhao accompany Yan Qing to the capital?"
Upon hearing her words, Wu Qingfeng unconsciously looked at Headmaster Chen.
Unfortunately, his gaze met that of Headmaster Chen.
Headmaster Chen immediately glared at the two men, his beard bristling. "What are you looking at? Do you think I can't see through you two crickets right in front of me?"
Wu Qingfeng felt wronged, "What the headmaster said is not kind. Chang'er was just worried about your health."
Headmaster Chen frowned. "To worry about my health, you want to cricket at me in front of me, and not let me hear it? I've truly never heard of such a thing..."
Lin Chang'er: "..." What's wrong with this old man? Why is he getting into a fight with crickets?
Wu Qingfeng was also puzzled, but he still explained, "Chang'er thought that you had encountered something unpleasant, so you were a little upset early in the morning."
Lin Chang'er nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, if you really have something bothering you, feel free to tell us so we can all have a good laugh together..."
He quickly changed his tune, "No, what I meant was, you should tell us so that everyone can help you analyze and relieve your stress. Otherwise, if the stress accumulates in your heart, liver, and internal organs, it will affect your health."
Headmaster Chen's eyes widened as he pointed at Lin Chang'er, "I see now, you brat, you just want to see me make a fool of myself!"
After saying that, he separated the two people who were standing side by side, saying, "It is indecent to be so affectionate in public."
Lin Chang'er: "..." No, are you going through menopause? You can't stand anything anymore.
Wu Qingfeng also felt completely innocent. The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. They were just whispering to each other. How could that be considered immoral?
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu also noticed something was wrong; it seemed that Headmaster Chen was throwing a tantrum.
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu exchanged a glance. Sister-in-law Gu handed Yudian to Wu Qingfeng, and the two sisters-in-law each took one of Lin Chang'er's arms.
"Now, Headmaster, are you relieved?" Sister-in-law Gu asked Headmaster Chen.
Headmaster Chen looked at Wu Qingfeng, who was holding the baby, and then at Lin Chang'er, who was being supported by her two sisters-in-law, and nodded.
Lin Chang'er whispered to Sister-in-law Gu, "Sister-in-law, did you notice anything?"
Sister-in-law Gu shook her head. "Perhaps she's worried about Chen Zhao?"
At this moment, Headmaster Chen suddenly looked at them again, "What are you cricketing about now?"
Lin Chang'er pouted. Was she being forced to remain silent?
Lin Chang'er cooperated by making a sealing motion on her lips.
Chen Shanzhang then snorted, put his hands behind his back, and walked between Lin Chang'er, Gu's sisters-in-law, and Wu Qingfeng and Yudian'er.
That aura was exactly like the Milky Way drawn by the Queen Mother of the West with her hairpin, determined to separate her from Wu Qingfeng.
Lin Chang'er scratched her head, unable to understand what was going on. Suddenly, Gu Ersao tugged at Lin Chang'er's sleeve and gestured, saying, "There's something I don't know if it's related to."
Lin Chang'er winked at her, signaling her to speak quickly.
Gu Ersao continued gesturing, "[This morning when I got up to help Yudian pee, I heard Uncle Lin, Aunt Bai, and Headmaster Chen talking in the yard.]"
Lin Chang'er: [What did you say?]
Second Sister-in-law Gu said, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Bai, and Headmaster Chen inquired about our mother's situation, and it seems they wanted Headmaster Chen to act as an intermediary and become your godparents."
Lin Chang'er tilted her head: ?
She could understand her parents' thoughts. Pretending in front of others and behind their backs like this wasn't a long-term solution. What if they weren't careful one day and their secret was exposed, and they would have to go through the trouble of explaining themselves?
Why not adopt a godparent relationship? After all, Lin Chang'er paid 20,000 taels to help the couple balance their accounts, so it makes sense.
But is a middleman needed to recognize godparents?
As Lin Chang'er was pondering, Chen Shanzhang's sharp gaze swept over her again. It felt like being caught red-handed by the headmaster while secretly reading embarrassing novels under the desk in school...
Lin Chang'er: "Okay, okay, I really didn't cricket you!"
This is simply out of concern for his physical and mental health!
Chen Shanzhang snorted coldly, and Lin Chang'er couldn't understand what was so angry about him.
However, there's nothing that a good meal can't solve; if one meal isn't enough, have two.
Before long, the group arrived at the dock market.
Chen Shanzhang, Wu Qingfeng, and several other men, including Yudian, were always uninterested in shopping.
Lin Chang'er and the others are different.
Especially for Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu, it was their first time traveling far from home and their first time seeing a bustling dock.
Gu Ersao excitedly pointed to the large ship moored at the dock.
Lin Chang'er smiled softly at her, "Second sister-in-law, don't get excited. In the future, our Linshui Village will also have its own dock."
Gu Ersao's eyes widened. Really? Could their Linshui Village really have such a scene?
In the past, she would never have dared to even think about it.
But her third sister-in-law showed her that many impossibilities had become possible, and she nodded excitedly. "Then our snacks, brown sugar, and embroidery can be sold to faraway places!"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Of course." The docks are practically at our doorstep; if we don't make good use of them, we deserve to starve.
Gu Ersao's eyes sparkled. The small market at the village entrance was just a place for villagers from nearby villages to exchange goods and make a living. They could earn quite a bit of income over the course of a month. If it were such a large market, Gu Ersao couldn't help but look forward to the future even more.
Sister-in-law Gu was also excited, as they had never known the benefits of being near the dock before.
But having followed his younger brother and sister-in-law in business for so long, and still not knowing anything, he deserves to be poor for the rest of his life.
Of course, Lin Chang'er's focus was clearly different from theirs.
For example, right now, she opened her mouth wide at a fish that was a meter long, "Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen such a big edible fish."
He waved to Wu Qingfeng, "Wu Qingfeng, Wu Qingfeng, let's buy this fish!"
Wu Qingfeng nodded indulgently. At this moment, Headmaster Chen spoke up again: "This is grass carp. The ones that weigh 4-5 catties are the best. This fish looks big, but the innards and swim bladders will also weigh a lot..."
Then he looked at Lin Chang'er with an expression that said, "Whoever buys this is a sucker..."
