Everyone on the ship changed into clean clothes to prepare for this important holiday.

Even Xixi was taken to the room by her mother, where she took a comfortable hot bath and changed into a thin monk's robe.

She happily nibbled on her little toes in bed, her eyes darting around as she followed her mother's busy figure.

Just as Liu was changing Xixi's clothes, there was a knock on the door.

She hurried to the door and looked curiously outside.

Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang were standing outside the room, with a simple wooden cart beside them. The cart was small and exquisite.

The exterior still bore the marks of the recent cutting. Looking at the exquisitely crafted cart in front of her, Liu asked with delight.

"Manager Wang, Lord Chen, what is this cart for?"

"This is our Mid-Autumn Festival gift for Xixi. We hope you won't mind the limited tools on board."

Wang Haocheng scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, pulled the cart in front of Liu, and explained with a smile.

"My brother Wang and I were worried that Xixi would be uncomfortable being held in our arms for a long time, so we decided to make her a stroller that would allow her to move around freely."

Chen Xiang turned to look at Xi Xi, who was lying on the bed and grinning at them, with a doting smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Liu's face showed a touched expression. She happily turned around, went back to her room, and carried Xixi out, placing her in the stroller.

To prevent her daughter from getting caught on the barbs, she also brought a small blanket and quilt, which, with the help of Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang, were laid out on the stroller.

Then, I carefully placed Xixi in the stroller and waited with great anticipation for her reaction.

He looked around curiously at his unique gift, feeling excited and happy, and excitedly waved his hands and feet.

"It seems that Xixi really likes the stroller that the uncles gave her."

Looking at her daughter's adorable little face, Liu's heart almost melted, and she covered her mouth and laughed excitedly.

Just then, the sound of Old Lady Zhu shouting came from outside the door.

"Dinner's ready, Manager Wang, Lord Chen, Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly take Xixi to the deck for dinner."

Upon hearing this, the three of them quickly pushed Xixi's stroller and hurried towards the deck.

All the long tables on the deck were gathered together, with a whole roasted lamb on a rack in the middle, and a simple stove made of bricks under the rack.

The table was covered with all sorts of food, including roast chicken, duck, seafood, and some out-of-season fruit.

Liu stared in astonishment at everything before her, remaining in a daze for a long time, unable to believe that she could taste the long-lost delicacies again.

She covered her face with gratitude, letting out a soft sob, "Mother, how long has it been since we've had such a sumptuous dinner?"

Grandma Zhu was covering Xixi with a blanket when she noticed her daughter-in-law's shocked expression and sighed with a smile.

"Yes, I can't remember how long it's been. It feels like these past few months have been an eternity."

"Alright, let's all take our seats quickly! Don't keep everyone waiting."

Upon hearing this, Liu quickly wiped away her tears and followed Old Lady Zhu to sit down behind the long table.

Xi Xi happily rolled over and lay on her stomach in the stroller, gazing contentedly at her family's happy faces.

As she looked around curiously, she unexpectedly spotted two strangers in a corner of the cargo ship.

These two men appeared to be pirates who had come down from the pirate ship to check on the situation; they had somehow managed to climb aboard the ship without anyone noticing.

[Oh no! If these people see the food on the ship, my family will be in danger.]

They must be arrested and locked in the ship's cabin.

Once the people are captured, the pirate leader will kick Zhu Yanyan off the pirate ship before the two return.

Without the pirates' help, Zhu Yanyan was no longer a threat to her family.

However, she wasn't sleepy at all, and her mother was happily eating dinner.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Old Mrs. Zhu suddenly took out a bag, placed it on the table, and stood up to look at everyone.

"Everyone, this bag contains pearls given to us by the dragon fish. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have taken the liberty of distributing these pearls to you."

After she finished speaking, she handed the bag to Zhu Chenfeng, who then distributed it equally among the people present.

Everyone had given up hope on the pearls, but when they saw Grandma Zhu offer to divide them equally, they were all surprised.

The crowd gasped in surprise and excitedly accepted the pearls assigned by Zhu Chenfeng.

This scene was witnessed by the pirates hiding behind the wooden crates. After confirming the value of the cargo ship, the two prepared to turn around and leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, a sharp arrow suddenly shot through the sky and landed at their feet.

"Brother Wang, Brother Chen, Brother Zhu, there are pirates."

Pei Sining stood in front of the two men, holding a crossbow, and hurriedly shouted to the crowd behind her.

The group, who were happily eating just a moment ago, jumped up from their seats and ran towards Pei Sining after hearing that there were pirates.

The pirates, not expecting to be discovered by a mere child, gripped their broadswords with grimace and swung them at Pei Sining with a shout.

Just as the broadsword was about to fall on Pei Sining's face, Wang Haocheng stepped forward in time to block the pirate's broadsword and easily lifted him up and threw him behind him.

Pei Sining landed easily under Wang Haocheng's guidance and stood behind him, giving him a low reminder.

"These two must be here to check the value of the cargo on the ship. We can't let them leave."

"clear!"

Wang Haocheng was still wondering why, when pirates hijacked a ship, there were a whole group of them, but only two people boarded the ship.

Only after Pei Sining reminded him did he realize that the two people had come to gather information.

After figuring out the two men's purpose, he quickly alerted the people behind him.

"Everyone, attack together! Don't let these two escape, or we'll be in trouble."

At his shout, everyone charged at the pirates, weapons in hand, filled with rage.

Seeing this, Pei Sining quickly turned around and ran to Xixi's side, pushing her stroller to remind Grandma Zhu.

"Grandma Zhu, run!"

Reminded by Pei Sining, Old Lady Zhu and the women realized what was happening and, supporting each other, ran towards the cabin.

Xixi lay anxiously on the stroller, looking at the situation on the deck with a worried expression.

Fortunately, the two pirates weren't very skilled, and they were quickly subdued by Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang.

As the pirates fell, one of them pulled a signal flare from his pocket and fired it into the sky.

The sound of the signal flare made Pei Sining stop in his tracks. When he looked back, the signal flare had already flown into the sky and dispersed.

"Brother Wang, this is bad! This pirate is sending signal flares to the others."

The signal flare in mid-air was seen by Fang Guorong, who was waiting for news on the other side of the sea. He laughed excitedly and beckoned to his men.

"Go, bring the men here. The rest of you, prepare to attack the cargo ship."

Upon hearing this, his men quickly went into the cabin, brought out Zhu Xixi and Granny Wang, and led them to Fang Guorong.

Fang Guorong changed his previous indifferent attitude and happily invited the two of them to sit down.

"Miss Yan, thank you for the clue. The cargo ship does indeed have what we need."

Zhu Yanyan discovered that the two people she had sent out had not returned, and she felt uneasy. With a serious expression, she reminded them.

"Captain Fang, why haven't your men returned? Why was there only a signal flare? Could it be that the other side has discovered them?"

Fang Guorong dismissed Zhu Yanyan's question with a smile and waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright. So what if they find out? We have nearly a hundred people. No matter how powerful they are, they can't deal with my men."

Zhu Yanyan was initially worried that Fang Guorong wouldn't be able to deal with the Zhu family, but after learning how many people he had, she felt much more at ease and excitedly stepped forward to ask.

"When shall we set off to attack the cargo ship?"
