Chapter 61 The pie is big and delicious
Their county town has a direct link to the nearest station to Xinda, which takes more than eight hours. If you buy a morning ticket and arrive in the evening, you can only find a place to rest, which will delay you for a day. So you can only buy a night ticket and arrive early the next morning. In this way, you can take a taxi directly to the wholesale market without any delay.

The green trains of that era also ran at night, so Hua Xiali bought a ticket for the next day at around nine o'clock in the evening, so that he could arrive at around five or six o'clock the next morning. After getting off the train and leaving the train station, he could find a place to have some breakfast and then go straight to the wholesale market. The time arrangement was very reasonable.

After buying the ticket, Hua Xiali went straight back. Nowadays, most people travel by bicycles, minibuses, and three-wheeled vehicles. When there are no minibuses, everyone rides a three-wheeled vehicle, otherwise they have to walk back by themselves. Moreover, there are many three-wheeled vehicles outside the train station waiting for passengers. It is impossible for them to leave just by yourself, unless you charter a car.

So when Hua Xiali got on the three-wheeled motorcycle, there were already several people on it, and they were all going in the same direction as her.

On the way back, Hua Xiali vaguely heard two people on the opposite side talking about Wang Liang, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

I didn't expect that Wang Liang and Tao Liyang are already married. How long has it been? It seems like less than two months, and Wang Liang and Tao Liyang are actually married.

But it is understandable. After all, she is older. Although Wang Liang is a classmate of her older sister, he failed a grade when he was young, so he is two years older than her older sister. This year he is either twenty-four or twenty-five, so he is naturally anxious to get married.

Moreover, because he came to cause trouble twice and went to the police station for tea twice, everyone knew his despicable character. He had a girlfriend outside, but he came back to pursue someone else. If he didn't marry Tao Liyang, he would never find a girlfriend in his hometown. After all, no family would want a son-in-law with such a bad character. Such a person cannot be relied on at all, let alone expect him to contribute money and effort when his parents-in-law are sick.

In her previous life, Hua Xiali was going to marry him at the end of this year. Her father was not dead and her mother was fine, but didn’t Wang Liang ever visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law once?
He was outside every day playing with cats and dogs, strolling around, fishing, and looking for people to play with, but he never came to see me once.

As for Tao Liyang, she married Wang Liang even though she knew that Wang Liang wanted to find someone else to marry in the countryside. It was probably because the pie Wang Liang painted was big and delicious. After all, people who can be a mistress for so many years are all very rational people. They only care about benefits and will not give up until they see the rabbit. She must get something from being with Wang Liang, otherwise how could she be willing to marry him?

Didn't she spend ten years outside with Wang Liang in her previous life, be supported by Wang Liang for ten years, spend ten years of Wang Liang's salary, and then when she got old and reached the age where she had to get married, she came back with Wang Liang?
When Wang Liang got cancer and could no longer give her money, and asked her to pay for his treatment, she kicked Wang Liang away. How could she possibly shake her own interests?

But it’s good that these two people got married, so that no innocent people would be dragged into it. In their previous life, Hua Xiali and their two sons stood in the way, and they lived together for decades. In this life, the two of them are married openly and legally, so they should be able to live together longer, right?

But it's hard to say, because some people like to pursue excitement, and a normal and ordinary relationship between husband and wife cannot arouse their interest.

No matter what, since neither of them is a good person, let them love and hate each other!
Thinking of this, Hua Xiali couldn't help but laugh secretly. Anyway, all this had nothing to do with her, and she didn't need to worry about their affairs. In this life, as long as her parents and family were healthy, she would live a good life.

After resting for a while at home, Hua Xiali set out wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket. The water downstream was getting less and less, so she had to go and check it out quickly. She couldn't let the fish die in the sun. That would be such a waste of resources.

Hua Xiali came to the place where everyone was washing clothes, went straight into the river and walked downstream. The water here was so shallow that even her shoes could not be submerged, and the stones exposed above the water had been bleached by the sun.

The villagers didn’t come to catch fish, probably because they found the water was too shallow to wash clothes, so they stopped coming. So they didn’t notice that the river had dried up and the fish had come out!

Hua Xiali found a trickle of water flowing down the slope of the shore beside the water plants. Fish like to swim upstream, so she followed the stream upstream and saw a dense crowd of black-backed crucian carp crowded together. The water was too shallow and the crucian carp were lying there. If she hadn't found them today, they would probably have been sunburned to death tomorrow.

With excitement, Hua Xiali collected all the big crucian carps into the Lingquan space, and then went up all the way. There was a hole on the top, and water flowed out of the hole. Seeing that there were still many fish in the hole, Hua Xiali collected all the fish. It would be a waste if they died, so it would be better to eat them himself!

After that, Hua Xiali kept walking downstream. When she saw the village not far away, she realized that she had run too far. She hurried back. She could only do so much by herself. It was impossible to "rescue" all the fish that were about to die from lack of water. So she just did what she could and there was no need to force it.

Hua Xiali walked to the door of her house and saw that no one noticed her, so she moved a large fish weighing dozens of kilograms into the basket. It was as heavy as a child. She put the basket at the door of the yard and went to the backyard to call Zhang Yongfeng, "Brother-in-law, please help me carry this fish to the backyard and help me take care of it."

When Zhang Yongfeng saw the big fish in the basket, his eyes widened in surprise. He subconsciously turned his head to look around, and then took it to his third uncle's house next door like a thief, because no one was at his third uncle's house at the moment, and there were many people processing pig offal in their backyard, so some things were better not to be known to too many people.

Zhang Yongfeng first scraped off the scales of the fish, then gutted the fish, cleaned it, chopped off the fish head, and then, according to Hua Xiali's instructions, sliced ​​the meaty parts into slices and cut the parts with more bones into pieces. Even the fish's internal organs and the edible parts were cleaned up.

Afterwards, Hua Xiali sent Zhang Yongfeng back home to take care of the braised food, while she processed the fish directly in her uncle's kitchen. After all, her own kitchen needed to make braised food, and there were many people in the yard, and she didn't want others to know that she had caught such a big fish.
