For the villagers of Fengjia Village, the joy of the completion of the clinic was no less than receiving money at night.
After hearing Xiao Kai's explanation that Ruan Meng would be going out to sea early in the morning, the village chief inquired about the situation and repeatedly reminded Xiao Kai to ensure Ruan Meng's safety before letting the villagers disperse to give Ruan Meng and the others time to rest.
The Song and Fan families had volunteered to help with oyster digging in the early stages, so they were not included in Sister-in-law Feng's registration list.
The villagers all left, but two families stayed to help...
Just then, Ruan Meng gave the remaining money to her elder brother, who would then make arrangements for it.
Ruan Qian looked at the remaining thirty taels of silver and divided ten taels among his family.
Song Shiwen and Fan Zizhong naturally refused to accept it, but Ruan Qian said, "Everyone has been working hard from dawn till dusk for half a month, with the whole family involved. It's unreasonable that the villagers have all benefited, yet we treat our own people so poorly!"
"Hurry up and accept it! We've built a new house, and there's still a lot of stuff we need to buy. The day we have to pay the mine is fast approaching. Let's get through this difficult time together!"
The Song and Fan families naturally refused to accept it, saying:
"Brother Ruan, you're too kind! If it weren't for you, when would we ever be able to live in such a big house?"
"That's right! Just for this house, we couldn't get it back even if we worked for you for years!"
"Leaving aside the house, just considering our relationship, you've already helped us enough. We're only helping out in the way we can, why would we need money?"
......
Ruan Meng stepped forward and said readily:
"Brothers and sisters-in-law, please accept this!"
"As you've all heard, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go out to sea, so let's not stand on ceremony!"
"Keep this for now. When I get back, we'll start working on the things we discussed earlier!"
"Purchasing tools and other equipment will incur additional expenses. Even if it's for future production, you should keep them for now."
After thinking for a moment, Song Shiwen was the first to speak up, "Okay! We'll listen to our little sister. We're all eager to do her a favor!"
When Ruan Qian was dividing the money between the two families, Xiao Kai had already wisely left.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Fan Zizhong said, "Little sister, my second brother is a good swimmer. You're going on a boat trip tomorrow, so let my second brother accompany you!"
"More people means more security!"
The last time they fell into the water, it was also the Fan family members, along with the second and third sons, who went into the water together.
The second and third brothers stepped forward at the same time, "Big brother, if our sister is going out to sea tomorrow, we'll go too!"
Ruan Qian had already explained their identities in advance, and the Sun family had made arrangements in advance for the ship not to dock.
Now, their only concern is Ruan Meng's safety.
As for why Ruan Meng took such a big risk to see a doctor...
There were no fools there.
It's hard to say that Ruan Meng took the risks just for her own family.
Since the three families are one, they should naturally know right from wrong.
Ruan Meng thanked both families and discussed the matter:
"I understand that my brothers mean well. But given our current status, even though the Sun family has connections and can intervene..."
"But I think it's best to avoid creating unnecessary complications for now. In case of unforeseen circumstances, the fewer people affected, the better."
Whether it was due to Ruan Meng's caution or not, although she had no doubt about the Sun family's strength, she had a vague feeling that things wouldn't go so smoothly.
Judging from Ruan Meng's words, she wasn't even bringing her second and third brothers, which immediately made the second and third brothers anxious.
Ruan Meng reassured them, "Second brother, third brother, there are many medical supplies at home, which are quite expensive, as well as medicinal herbs. We need someone to keep an eye on them."
"I'm worried about leaving only my elder brother and sister-in-law at home. Since the Sun family has arranged for people, it means I don't need to worry about my bodyguards."
"As the only exiled criminal, even if I don't come ashore, I'm practically considered an outlying island. If anything happens, Young Master Sun will do his best to protect me for his sister's life, so everyone can rest assured!"
"If too many people go, it will only distract us. What do you think, brother?"
Ruan Qian pondered. He admitted that his younger sister's analysis made sense, but as the older brother, he couldn't only consider the issue from that perspective.
