Chapter 1149 Return
Chu Xue imitated the locals' tone and said, "It's all thanks to Mazu's blessing."
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. After all, now, although everyone thought that, no one dared to say it out loud.
Thinking of the little girl who fell into the water today, and then thinking of Qi Shufang, Chu Xue asked casually, "Master Afu, what happened to the little girl who fell into the water today?"
Before Grandpa Fu could say anything, his grandson, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, spoke up: "Xiang Bao'er is Aunt Shuying's daughter, and that evil woman is her stepmother."
Grandpa Afu glared at his grandson but did not refute: "Xiang Baoer is the granddaughter of Grandma Qi of the village. Her mother is the daughter of Grandma Qi, who was born when she was pregnant with a pearl. She has four older brothers. She was raised by her family since she was a child and later married to a man in town. However, Shuying was unlucky. She had an accident when she went to the city on business last winter.
At the beginning of spring, the son-in-law of Seventh Grandma came over and said he needed someone to take care of Xiang Baoer. Someone introduced him to a girl. Alas, you must have seen that girl today. You can tell from her features that she doesn’t look honest.
At this time, Ah Fu's grandson interrupted and said, "Xiang Bao'er fell into the sea today. It was that woman's plan. Ali and the others saw it clearly. That woman threw Xiang Bao'er's most precious glass beads onto the beach where the waves had just receded, and told Xiang Bao'er to pick them up herself. That's how Xiang Bao'er was swept into the water."
As they were talking, the boat had already docked. After what happened this morning, Chuxue didn't dare to delay their return journey, for fear that the sea would become cloudy again.
Grandpa Afu asked his grandson to help Chuxue move the things to the corner of the building in front of the pier. Chuxue's reason was not to get in the way of others, as someone would come to pick her up soon.
After watching Ah Fu and his grandson's boat leave the shore, he threw a paper bag filled with two taels of White Rabbit candy onto the boat. There were only about twenty of them. "Thank you for your hard work in bringing me here. This candy will sweeten your mouth on the way."
Ah Fu saw his grandson's eyes light up when he heard it was candy, so he couldn't say no or return it. "Young lady, come back next time you have the chance, and I'll have the women at home make you something delicious."
Chu Xue smiled and waved at them: "Okay."
Watching the boat go away, she hurried back to where she had stored her things. Although she had been paying attention to the place where she had stored her things and no one had appeared, people not far away had been looking over here. It was better to be cautious these days.
She avoided the staff in the distance and walked quickly to the corner where things were piled up. After confirming that it was safe, she put everything into the space except the woven bag of dried seafood and a small basket of fresh seafood that she had prepared in advance.
While the staff over there walked away, she quickly picked up her things and left, for fear that those people would come over out of curiosity to check and cause trouble for her again.
The pier is not far from the bus station. She had already asked for it when she came. There is another bus at 3:15, so if she rushes there now, she will be able to catch it.
She was very strong and carried the things to the destination in one breath. When she arrived, there were already many people in the car. The driver was tying the luggage on the roof. Seeing her trying to get in with the things, he stopped her and said, "Hand your luggage up. It takes up too much space in the car."
She naturally had no objection, but still reminded him, "Master, the basket is filled with fresh seafood. Please arrange it in a suitable position."
The driver must have been used to it: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."
