Chapter 140 Went to Hainan

Second Sister Gu was furious when she saw Aunt Lin, who used to be so insignificant in her presence, actually dared to confront her face. Her stubborn sense of superiority immediately took over, and she retorted, "Oh, that old saying is so true. There are no wrong parents in the world. Even if parents do something wrong, they are not parents anymore? Don't care about parents? We don't know what's going on in our own village. I think there were reasons for what happened back then, and we can't blame it all on Boss Luo and his wife."

"Oh, you need help setting the table, right? Come on, let's go help!"

"I just saw that the tea seems to be insufficient. Should I boil some more?"

"I'm going to check on my naughty monkey. I hope he doesn't get into trouble."

"Come on, come on, we can't just sit and talk all the time, go help."

Without waiting for Gu Ersao to finish her words, everyone exchanged glances and ran away.

I care about you.

Mrs. Gu was so angry: "."

Really, really——

Unexpectedly, Zhao Liya grabbed her and said in a low voice, "Get lost."

"What?"

"I told you to get out, don't you understand?"

"you--"

"What do you mean by 'you'? You're happy to be causing trouble for others, right? If you didn't bring a gift, that's perfect. Just leave now. You're not welcome at this wedding. If you did bring a gift, I'll return it to you right away!"

Mrs. Gu was furious: "This is not your family's business, why are you chasing people away?"

Zhao Liya sneered, "Kick people away? If Brother Lin knew what you said, he would probably beat you up! I'm giving you face on this happy occasion. Hey, think about it carefully. It's best to leave quietly and this matter will be over. You dare to shout loudly? Think about whether you can get away with it first, okay?"

Mrs. Gu was furious and glared at Zhao Liya hatefully, but she didn't dare to confront her head-on, so she had to leave angrily.

Apart from this little incident, everyone was happy!

The villagers had never eaten such a sumptuous wedding banquet. They all praised Lin Mo's generosity and were even more envious of Shu Yan's good fortune.

This is what it means to have sweetness after bitterness!

The wedding banquet started around one or two in the afternoon and ended around four. The guests had dispersed, and the hired restaurant staff had packed up and taken away, leaving only a few close friends to gather again in the evening.

Only when night fell did they disperse.

Lin Mo originally lived in the east wing until the day of his wedding, when he returned to the main house.

That night, the two lovers finally got married. They loved each other and were like fish in water. It was an indescribable feeling.

Shu Yan was really diligent. The next morning, she got up to make breakfast. Lin Mo got up with her, and she asked him to tell the Zhao family that they didn't need to make breakfast, and she would do it herself.

Mrs. Deng and Widow Qu were both moved and at a loss for words. "This child is so hardworking! Why doesn't he take more rest?" "That's right! He's so sensible and hardworking that it makes me feel distressed!"

Shu Yan didn't care about these things. The Zhao family treated her well, so all her returns were justified. The two families lived next to each other, so there was no need to distinguish between them.

Three days later, the family had a lively meal to celebrate Shu Yan's return.

After that, the two families still ate together and cooked in the Zhao family's kitchen. Except for returning to her own yard to rest at night, Shu Yan basically stayed at the Zhao family during the day. The two families were still the same as before.

The matter of building a school was officially put on the agenda, and Zhao Xiang personally presided over it. The three villages worked together and planned to start construction when a date was chosen.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Liya, Yu Xiaofang, Zhou Hansheng and others left Yan Village under the pretext of going into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs, and headed straight for a hidden port on the coast of Guangzhan, where they met up with Zhong Jing and his party and boarded a large ship to Hainan Island.

Zhao Liya and Yu Xiaofang were in disguise, and riding horses was too conspicuous, so in order to keep a low profile, the whole group took a carriage.

After two days of rushing, the group finally arrived in Guangzhan. Zhong Jing sent someone to wait for them and led them directly to a hidden port outside the city.

Zhong Jing brought fifty people with him this time, plus Zhou Hansheng's group of thirteen masters and servants, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Yu Xiaofang, a total of nearly seventy people.

There were eight other people on board, including boatmen and odd jobs.

This boat was captured from pirates before. It can carry about 300 people, which is more than enough for them.

Zhong Jing now owns three similar boats, as well as three smaller boats that can carry about a hundred people.

Zhao Liya was envious after hearing this.

Zhong Jing had already ordered people to replenish various supplies and fresh water. It was noon when Zhao Liya and the others arrived. After a simple lunch, everyone got on board.

Zhong Jing: "The weather has been good these past two days. Let's set sail now. If we leave now, we should arrive by noon tomorrow, which is just in time."

No one objected.

Zhou Hansheng glanced at Zhong Jing and said, "Now that we're here, you're in charge."

It was also his first time to sail so far out to sea, and he didn't know the situation well.

Zhong Jing agreed with a smile.

At the captain's command, the boatmen and the soldiers brought by Zhong Jing all got busy. The two-story ship slowly left the port and headed towards the vast ocean.

Unlike the seaports Zhao Liya had seen in modern times, this port was not bustling at all. Their ship was the only one leaving the port alone in the vast ocean, which made people more nervous and excited for no reason.

There were several small rooms for rest on the upper level of the ship. Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng, and Zhong Jing were all assigned one, while the others just shared one and took turns to rest.

The conditions on the ship were limited, so no one cared about it.

As a doctor who came here to collect herbs, Yu Xiaofang naturally wanted a separate room, but knowing the conditions on the ship, he did not specifically ask for special treatment. He just discussed with Zhao Liya: Could he borrow Zhao Liya's room to store his herbs later?

Zhao Liya agreed readily.

Zhou Hansheng heard it from the side and said casually: "It's better to keep it with me. It will be more convenient to keep it with me."

Are you kidding? How could he let Yu Xiaofang's things be stored in Aya's room?

Yu Xiaofang's first thought from this was "the distinction between men and women," and he immediately felt a little embarrassed, thinking he had gone a little too far. He nodded quickly, "Okay, okay. I'll trouble you, Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Hansheng: "You're welcome."

Zhao Liya smiled. Of course, there was nothing to fight over for such things. Otherwise, it would seem so weird.

The boat was traveling at a fairly fast speed and soon it left the harbor far away. When I turned around and looked back, even the outline of the land became vague.

There is a vast sky and land before my eyes.

Zhao Liya stood on the second deck, feeling the sea breeze blowing in her face, the sun shining brightly, the sea and the sky merging into one, and her mood brightened.
