Chapter 140: Useless Man!
Chapter 140: Useless Man!
Wen Wan rushed over quickly.
Jiang Xia stepped on the red mark and stuck out her butt, bumping into Wen Wan.
Wen Wan was knocked off her feet and fell hard onto the sand, glaring at Jiang Xia in anger, "Why did you bump into me?"
Jiang Xia looked at her coldly, "You know what you're doing! Get lost, don't even think about taking it! Or I'll twist your hand off!"
"How is this taking it? You said whoever finds it first gets to keep it!" Wen Wan got up and rushed forward, reaching out to push Jiang Xia.
Anyway, she had Zhou Guohua by her side!
Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed, and she immediately grabbed Wen Wan's hand, twisting it out of its socket with a quick motion. Then, she grabbed Wen Wan's hair, "Take it if you want! If you take it now, it's yours!"
Wen Wan's hand was dislocated by Jiang Xia, and her hair was pulled painfully. Instinctively, she clutched her uninjured hand to her scalp, fearing that Jiang Xia would rip her scalp off. She yelled, "Zhou Guohua, are you dead? Come and save me! Ah... It hurts so much!"
"What are you doing? Let go of Wan!" Zhou Guohua had already rushed to Jiang Xia and reached out to grab her hand, trying to separate them.
Jiang Xia yanked Wen Wan's hair and pushed her towards Zhou Guohua, "Get lost! Don't blame me if you try to take it again!"
Zhou Guohua caught Wen Wan and released her, then stood before Jiang Xia with a fierce gaze, "You pushed her and hit her, and you still have the nerve to talk? Don't think I won't hit a woman! I'll give you one chance, apologize to Wan! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Jiang Xia sneered, "Are your eyes playing tricks on you? Didn't you see her rushing over to take what I dug up? If I didn't push her away, should I have welcomed her with open arms? I'm not like you, enjoying her embrace."
"Guohua, my wrist hurts so much! She twisted my hand!" Wen Wan was both embarrassed and angry. Apologize? To that despicable woman?
Zhou Guohua looked over and saw Wen Wan's wrist hanging unnaturally, dislocated. He thought Jiang Xia was truly cruel!
He reached out to grab Jiang Xia, wanting her to experience the pain of a dislocated joint.
Jiang Xia swiftly dodged to the side, and with a swift kick, she struck his knee!
Just then, Tian Caihua also rushed over and collided with him from behind, pushing him hard!
Zhou Guohua knelt down on both knees.
Wen Wan: "..."
Zhou Guohua had no intention of fighting; he only wanted to teach Jiang Xia a lesson. Unprepared, he didn't expect the two women to react so quickly. He was kicked hard and then knocked down by Tian Caihua, forcing him to his knees.
He quickly stood up, "You..."
Tian Caihua, with her hands on her hips and chest out, approached him, "What's wrong with us? You want to fight, huh? Go ahead! My boat just left, and you, a grown man, are bullying two women? Come on! Hit me! Hit me!..."
Tian Caihua stood tall with her chest out, advancing step by step, "Hit me! Hit me! If you dare touch me, I'll report you to the production team for harassment!"
Zhou Guohua was forced to retreat step by step by Tian Caihua. He was a pure-hearted young man in his early twenties, inherently virtuous, and no match for Tian Caihua, a middle-aged woman who had been bold and outspoken in the village for many years.
Seeing her approaching with her 'weapon' on display, he blushed and retreated, afraid of any accidental contact that might lead to misunderstandings.
If it were Jiang Xia, it would be different, but Tian Caihua was like an aunt to him. He couldn't handle it!
"This is absurd! A gentleman doesn't fight with a lady!" He blushed, enduring the pain in his knee, and pulled Wen Wan away.
Wen Wan was still waiting for him to stand up for her, but he just ran off?
Was he even a man?
Wen Wan was furious!
Useless man!
Zhou Guohua pulled Wen Wan back to his boat, "Wan, your hand is injured. Let's go back. Anyway, they already found the red coral."
Wen Wan glared at him, blaming him for letting them get the coral. She felt he was useless compared to Zhou Chenglei.
She shook off his hand and said irritably, "Let's go!"
Her right hand hurt with every move; she needed to find someone to fix it.
Damn, is Jiang Xia an orthopedic doctor? How can she be so skilled at dislocating someone's hand?
Tian Caihua was also amazed by Jiang Xia's prowess. After the two of them left on their boat, she couldn't help but exclaim, "That move you just did, sticking out your butt and twisting your hand—did you practice it? You're so skilled!"
Jiang Xia replied, "You could say that."
When Jiang Xia stuck out her butt earlier, it was just an instinctive reaction.
In her past life, she had followed her grandmother to sell vegetables since she was three years old. Without money to rent a stall, they relied on going early to occupy roadside stalls.
Roadside stalls were more convenient and sold better than those inside the market.
However, they often encountered situations where others would try to take over their stall.
After being taken over many times, she also learned how to fight for it.
The method was to stick out her butt and rush forward, bumping the person away, then spreading out the tarp bag on the ground to claim the spot!
When Wen Wan rushed over just now, Jiang Xia instinctively stuck out her butt to bump her away.
Jiang Xia saw their boat returning and guessed that they had seen the argument and were worried.
She moved her foot and said, "Elder Sister-in-Law, I found more coral. Let's dig it up quickly!"
Tian Caihua: "..."
More red coral?
How lucky was Jiang Xia?
The two of them squatted down to start digging.
However, this coral was broken into several pieces.
Jiang Xia dug out two pieces, and Tian Caihua dug out three, but Jiang Xia's pieces were longer and larger.
Tian Caihua said with concern, "Now that it's broken, won't it be worthless?"
Jiang Xia: "You can sell it to a jewelry store to be polished into beads, but I don't know how much it's worth. If you want to sell it, I can help you when I sell mine."
Tian Caihua's eyes lit up with joy at the mention of selling it, "Are you giving me this coral?"
Jiang Xia: "What you dig out is yours."
If Tian Caihua hadn't rushed over earlier, Jiang Xia wouldn't have shared the coral with her.
Now, it was shared, and at least she had rushed to help without hesitation.
Tian Caihua was instantly satisfied, "If we make it into beads, a small break won't affect its value, right? It should still be worth something?"
"I don't know."
"It must be valuable."
At this moment, Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin's boat docked, and they jumped off even before the boat came to a complete stop.
Zhou Chenglei ran to Jiang Xia and examined her up and down, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it was just a minor disagreement."
Zhou Chengxin followed a step behind and also caught up, glancing at the smiling Tian Caihua, "What happened just now?"
Tian Caihua started talking like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "That shameless Wen Wan wanted to snatch the red coral Xia Xia found, but Xia Xia pushed her away..."
Zhou Chenglei's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard that Zhou Guohua had laid hands on Jiang Xia. He held Jiang Xia tightly.
Zhou Chengxin was also speechless after hearing the story, "Does that Zhou Guohua kid need a beating? I'll teach him a lesson when we get back. You two go back to the boat! Don't stay here."
"Okay," Jiang Xia agreed. Today was Zhou Chengxin's turn to go out to sea, and she didn't want to waste their time by having them make a round trip to pick her up.
When they returned to the boat, Zhou Fu and Zhou Chengsen also asked with concern about what had happened. Tian Caihua repeated the story once more.
Zhou Fu was furious, "I'll ask Zhou Bingqiang how he's raising his son when we get back!"
Then, the family went to the same spot as last time, and the men put on their diving gear to harvest abalone.
This time, the three brothers and Zhou Fu took turns entering the cavern. Most of the larger abalone in the cavern had been collected, and the remaining ones were too deep and dark for Zhou Chengxin, Zhou Chengsen, and Zhou Fu to dare to venture in, so they gave up.
Anyway, the abalone inside would eventually crawl out on their own.
After finishing the abalone collection, it was only 3:30 pm, so they decided to trawl one more net before heading home.
After they left, Guo Boss's boat arrived and stopped at the same spot they had just vacated. Then, one of the crew members jumped into the water.
