Chapter 22 Haiping Town

"Just what?"

Su Qian waited for him to continue.

"But, should we say something to the old patriarch?"

The second uncle of the Su family was hesitant, "We can't keep it a secret that we went to Haiping Town alone. But we can tell the old patriarch. If they can get some money, we can buy some things from Haiping Town."

"Ah Qian, what your second uncle said makes sense! There are still eight days before we are officially scheduled to go to Haiping Town. During these eight days, everyone has been living a naked life, no different from that savage. If the old patriarch knew that we secretly went to Haiping Town without telling him, there would definitely be resentment!"

The second aunt of the Su family also nodded gently and said, "We will all live on the same deserted island in the future! We will see each other every day, so it's better to tell each other, what do you think?"

She spoke to Su Qian in a negotiating tone.

Su Qian thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, "Mom, Second Uncle, you guys decide! If they can scrape together some money, then take them along!"

She glanced at her second uncle and second aunt of the Su family and had some plans in mind.

She sighed in her heart. People in ancient times took pride in their family and always put their family first in their hearts.

However, since coming here from the end of the world, I have experienced too many cases of brothers turning against each other and husbands and wives becoming enemies.

I have too many secrets, so I still need to take precautions.

Although my second uncle's family is kindhearted, it is better not to let them know some things! You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!

At this moment, Su's second uncle and second aunt didn't know what Su Qian was thinking.

The second uncle of the Su family got up and went out to look for the old patriarch!

The second aunt of the Su family took Su Xi back to her stone house, "Sister-in-law, Ah Qian, you two should take a rest!"

After they left, Gu Luyun took Su Qian's hand and said, "What's wrong, Ah Qian? Are you worried about something?"

Su Qian shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine! I plan to buy an extra iron pot tomorrow, and then I'll have dinner separately from my second uncle and the others!"

"What happened?"

Gu Luyun asked softly.

"It's okay. I just feel that no matter how close we are, we still have to keep some distance! You also know that my jade pendant has a secret, so you'd better not let Second Uncle and the others know!"

Su Qian said softly.

From the last time we divided the pork to this trip to Haiping Town, it was my second uncle’s family who suggested talking to the old patriarch!

If they knew in the future that their space jade pendant could be used to store things, or that they could move freely under the sea.

Then will you also say something to the old patriarch?

"Okay, I'll let Mom take care of this later, and you just need to buy the things back!"

Gu Luyun nodded gently and looked at her solemnly, "Ah Qian, although I didn't give birth to you, you are more important than anything else in my heart! Remember to tell me what's in your heart, okay?"

"Yeah, I know!"

Su Qian nodded gently. It seemed that Gu Luyun also noticed his thoughts and was worried that he and her were becoming estranged.

In fact, Gu Luyun was worrying too much. If she had bad intentions, she would have just killed the original body and taken away her baby.

Nor will the original body be raised as a treasure!

The afternoon was long, so Su Qian continued to practice his mental skills in the stone house.

Gu Luyun was taking the dragon-phoenix fetus to learn Chinese characters on the sand outside the stone house.

When Su Qian came out of the stone house, he learned that the old patriarch had already discussed with everyone and collected a lot of money, and asked his son Su Boquan to go with him.

Su Qian did not comment.

Nowadays, everyone's house is bare, and if her own house had everything, it would be too conspicuous.

Since they can scrape together enough money to buy supplies, my family won't have to be the conspicuous one anymore.

That night's dinner was still prepared by the Su family members in turn. Su Qian followed Gu Luyun and took the bowls and chopsticks to bring the food back.

This time we had bowls, chopsticks and plates, so the food was richer.

Perhaps they borrowed some seasonings from the groom's family, as they made some sea bass soup that tasted extremely delicious.

After dinner, it was time to boil water for cooling off. Su Qian took Su He to the well behind and fetched several buckets of clear well water.

After packing up everything, the Su clan members, who had no entertainment activities, returned to their houses early to rest.

After Su Qian washed and hung up his clothes, he continued to meditate and practice.

Nothing happened overnight.

At the beginning of the morning hour, Su Qian was awakened by Gu Luyun, "Qian, it's time! Your second uncle is waiting for you outside!"

"Yeah, I got it!"

Su Qian nodded slightly, stood up and tidied her clothes and hair.

When Second Uncle Su arrived at the beach, the old patriarch's son, Su Boquan, was already there.

There was also a small fishing boat parked on the beach, about three or four meters long, with an awning on the hull.

"You are the ones that the Du family kid was talking about, right? Let me make it clear first, my fishing boat will charge you for coming here to pick you up!"

The man who was pushing the boat was an old man wearing a straw hat. He spoke in a low voice.

"Then may I ask how the old man charges?"

Su Qian asked softly and jumped onto the fishing boat casually.

Seeing this, Su's second uncle and Su Boquan also jumped up.

"Ten cents per person. If you have any goods when you return, you will need to pay extra."

The old man pushed the pole in his hand against the reef, and the fishing boat moved backwards and sailed into the sea.

"Well, it's not expensive, but I have to wait until we get to Haiping Town to exchange it for silver before I can give it to the old man, okay?"

Su Qian would not be so foolish as to give a pearl directly to the old man who was rowing the boat. She planned to go to a pawnshop or money house in Haiping Town to exchange the pearl for silver before paying him.

"Can!"

The old man responded, put down the pole, and rowed the double oars at the stern towards the calm sea.

"Old man, are there any fishing boats for sale in Haiping Town?"

Watching him rowing the oars skillfully, Su Qian walked through the awning, sat down in front of him and asked.

"Little girl, are you planning to buy a boat to freely travel to the island and Haiping Town?"

The old man laughed and said, "This fishing boat costs a lot of money. Do you have any money, little girl?"

Su Qian didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.

"Haha, the little girl is quite defensive. Okay! I won't ask about your family background! There is a fishing shop in Haiping Town. You can go and have a look."

The old man smiled and said to her, "All matters concerning the sea in Haiping Town are handled by this fishing company! For example, buying and selling fishing boats and large cargoes at sea."

"Oh? So this fishing business is run by the government?"

Su Qian raised her eyebrows.

"Not really! I heard that he has a background in the capital of Dongli Kingdom. Anyway, the price is fair, and he is not a shady person."

The old man said cheerfully, "But little girl, you haven't registered your household registration yet, so you probably can't buy it!"
