Qian Jiawang suppressed his excitement and clenched his fist slightly.
"Then... I'll sell you the ship for three thousand!"
"What, three thousand?"
Before Fu Wan could speak, Fu San shouted.
He glared angrily at Qian Jiawang and said, "Brother, why don't you just rob us? We clearly agreed on 1,200 before, why have you changed your mind now?"
"If you had told me it was three thousand from the beginning, I wouldn't have brought my niece to see it!"
Qian Jiawang immediately smiled ingratiatingly, but his words carried an air of self-righteousness.
"Brother, you didn't tell me before that your niece was so rich. She drives a four-wheeler, so this little bit of money is nothing to her."
Fu Wan laughed at these words.
"Uncle, I may be rich, but I'm not a sucker."
"Would I be so foolish as to spend three thousand yuan on a dilapidated old ship like yours?"
"Hey, little girl, I don't care, you've all seen this boat, you have to pay!"
Qian Jiawang had initially agreed with Fu San to sell the boat for 1,200 yuan, but after seeing Fu Wan's car, he regretted it.
Why not take advantage of such a rich person? Make more money so he can afford to buy more packs of cigarettes.
When Fu San saw that Qian Jiawang was trying to act shamelessly, he immediately felt embarrassed.
Fu Wan followed him out because she trusted him, but he didn't realize how untrustworthy this person was.
"Ah Wan, let's not buy it, let's go!"
If this ship won't work, there are other ones that will.
As Qian Jiawang saw them about to leave, he was about to stop them when a voice came from not far away.
"Qian Jiawang, don't be so foolish. Those two are from Fujia Village. You've picked the wrong people to scam!"
Fu Wan looked over at the sound and saw that it was Qian Xiaobao who was speaking. He was a little embarrassed when he met Fu Wan's gaze.
Qian Xiaobao was quite well-known in Qianjia Village. He used to be a hoodlum, but after going to Fujia Village, he suddenly turned over a new leaf and started farming to earn money to support his family.
Although he has changed his ways, this man used to be very ruthless, and Qian Jiawang is still somewhat afraid of him.
He originally intended to go to the village and call his brothers over, so that if Fu Wan and her family didn't buy the boat, they would block her car from leaving.
But now that Qian Xiaobao has suddenly appeared, he's a little unsure.
Qian Xiaobao dared to stand up, and he wasn't alone. Before Qian Jiawang could even speak, several more people boarded the dock.
"Jiawang, are you blinded by money? Are you tired of living and want to go squat in the fence?"
The speaker was an old man of about sixty years old, with quite a bit of white hair, but he was full of energy.
The man who arrived was none other than the village chief of Qianjia Village. As soon as Qian Jiawang saw the village chief, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to extort money from him today.
"Comrades, comrades, let's not talk about anything else. Let's just set the price at 1,200 for this boat. You pay the money, and we'll take the boat away!"
Fu San didn't say anything upon hearing this. Instead, he turned to look at Fu Wan. Based on his understanding of Fu Wan, he guessed that she wouldn't want the ship anymore.
Sure enough, Fu Wan sneered, "Uncle, now that you want to sell this ship, I don't want to buy it anymore."
"A ship that cost three thousand is suddenly half gone. What if I sail it out and it's missing parts? Who can I complain to then?"
Qian Jiawang panicked upon hearing this, "No, I was just joking. This boat costs 1,200 yuan. I agreed with that guy beforehand!"
"You just changed your mind, didn't you? If you said you didn't want it, you meant it. I don't believe that your ship is the only one I can buy!"
Fu Wan raised her head, gesturing for Fu San and the others to follow her off the boat.
Qian Jiawang felt like dying right now.
Oh dear, it's all his fault for being greedy and changing the price at the last minute; otherwise, the money would probably be in his pocket.
Fu Wan stepped off the deck. Village Chief Qian looked her over. This girl looked quiet and gentle, but she had actually fought against pirates at sea before.
Village Chief Qian knew about the pirates only because of his good-for-nothing nephew, Qian Xiaobao.
After the last incident at sea, Qian Xiaobao was personally brought back by the police.
Before leaving, the police reminded Village Chief Qian to educate the villagers properly, emphasizing that such behavior of harming others was especially unacceptable.
After the police left, Village Chief Qian gave Qian Xiaobao a severe beating without any mercy. Qian Xiaobao, who had narrowly escaped death, was terrified.
So he recounted everything that happened to him at sea.
The text naturally included descriptions of Fu Wan's heroic deeds and how orcas helped ram the ship at sea.
In the eyes of Village Chief Qian, these things meant that Fu Wan was someone who had connections to the maritime trade.
Their village has relied on the sea for generations, and if you offend someone with a maritime business, the whole village might suffer.
So when Qian Xiaobao said that Fu Wan was looking to buy a boat from Qian Jiawang, Old Village Chief Qian rushed over, fearing that Qian Jiawang would overcharge.
As they say, experience is the best teacher; Old Village Chief Qian had indeed predicted Qian Jiawang's actions.
"Young man, we have a family here who want to sell their boat. Would you like to take a look?"
Since they had already come all this way, it wouldn't be right to let them go back empty-handed. So, Old Village Chief Qian had a change of heart and introduced Fu Wan to other boats.
Old Village Chief Fu had a fairly good impression of this village chief, so she nodded and said, "Which one? Please point it out to me!"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Qian immediately pointed in the direction where there was a boat that was about 70% new, with little rust on its hull and a similar size.
“That boat belongs to one of my cousins. He injured his arm while at sea before and can’t go out to sea now. He plans to sell the boat and rent a hilltop to grow fruit trees.”
Fu San had also looked at this ship before. It was actually a bit better than Qian Jiawang's ship, but Fu San disliked it because it had been in an accident and was afraid that bringing it back would not be auspicious.
"Village chief, I've heard of your boat. Didn't you say it was involved in an accident?"
Fu San bluntly exposed the matter, and Old Village Chief Qian sighed.
"The one that had the accident wasn't actually this boat, it was another one. My brother's hand was injured by the oar while he was rescuing people."
But don't worry, if it really was a ship in trouble, I certainly wouldn't hide it from you. That capsized ship was already towed away by the shipyard for parts."
"What, it's a rescue boat?"
Fu San exclaimed in surprise, then turned angrily to glare at Qian Jiawang. Qian Jiawang lowered his head guiltily. What could he do? If he didn't say that, would he still be interested in his boat?
Fu Wan also witnessed this scene. She felt an instant connection with the ship when she first saw it, and after hearing its story, she liked it even more.
He risked his life to save others; such a person deserves admiration, and his boat is equally admirable.
"Village chief, how much are they asking for this boat?"
"One thousand. If you like it, drive it away!"
The man behind Village Chief Qian suddenly spoke up, and Fu Wan then noticed that the man's right arm was actually empty.
"Who are you……"
"Yes, I am the owner of this boat. Comrades, this boat is not expensive at a thousand yuan. The diesel engine on it was just replaced recently. If you don't believe me, you can go up and check!"
"I believe you, brother!"
Fu San exclaimed that he admired men like this the most.
Fu Wan did the same, but just to be on the safe side, she went up and took a look around.
"This is really good, we'll take this ship!"
