The next morning, Fu Wan went to the dock with Ye Xiaocui to buy some vegetables.
Sure enough, a brand-new, large ship appeared at the dock, making the villagers' boats look dilapidated and old in comparison.
Many villagers gathered around the boat, pointing and whispering. Fu Qiang and Wang Zhaodi stood proudly by the boat, heads held high.
With that air of arrogance, anyone who didn't know better would think it was his own boat.
It seems that Xue Qing truly trusts Fu Qiang, this lackey who surrendered by leading the way, and even entrusts him with tasks such as watching over the boat.
Wang Zhaodi, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ye Xiaocui and her daughter picking fish not far away.
She laughed exaggeratedly in a high-pitched, thin voice, "My Fu Qiang is a promising man. He was just wronged before. The big boss valued my Fu Qiang's intelligence and competence. Otherwise, why would he entrust such a large ship to his care?"
It just so happened that Fu Liang's mother, Aunt Jiang, and Fu Qingniang, Wang Xiuer, were both buying groceries at the dock. After exchanging a glance, they couldn't help but...
Wang Xiuer mocked, "You think you're superior just because you're in charge of a boat? Uncle Fu is in charge of so many boats in the village, why don't you see him being proud of himself?"
The second brother, who had been squatting hunched over smoking his pipe, straightened up when he heard Wang Chunlan's words.
He was already unhappy that the big ship wasn't under his supervision, and Fu Qiang and his mother were making a scene, which basically meant they didn't respect him as the ship's watchman.
When Wang Zhaodi heard Wang Xiuer say that, she immediately became agitated.
"So what if there are so many ships? All those ships combined aren't worth as much as my Fu Qiang's ship!"
Good heavens, all of this has become Fu Qiang's?
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Wang Zhaodi said with a hint of pride, "I only have one such successful son. He's going to enjoy a life of luxury from now on!"
Fu Wan couldn't stand Wang Zhaodi's smugness, especially since Fu Shi was helping Fu San move the fish right next to them.
"Aunt Wang, you only have one son, so isn't that talisman your son too?"
Aunt Jiang, Fu Liangniang's mother, despised such biased parents the most. In her opinion, Fu Shi was much more conscientious than Fu Qiang.
Last time, Fu Shi had nowhere to go, so Fu Liang took him in for two days. After he recovered, he went out to carry heavy bags and earned money, so he bought her two pounds of meat and brought it to her.
She's not someone who's never eaten meat before, so how could she accept Fu Shi's offer? After much back and forth, Fu Liang simply let Fu Shi stay at his house for a meal and cooked most of the meat he brought.
They were all children the same age as her own son, and Aunt Jiang felt sorry for them. So when she heard Wang Zhaodi say that, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
Wang Zhaodi froze for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a hint of self-righteousness, "My other son is heartless and ungrateful. I don't need him to support me in my old age, so I've long since treated him as if he doesn't exist!"
Fu Shi wasn't deaf; he heard these words clearly.
Although he had known for a long time that his parents didn't like him, he still felt a little sad when he heard this.
Seeing his reddened eyes, Fu San put down the fish basket in his hand and comforted him, saying, "Make money well, and when you're successful, they'll regret it!"
Fu Qiang nodded emphatically, lifted his shirt to wipe his face, and then continued moving the fish as if nothing had happened.
The surrounding villagers, however, were not so easy to talk to; many of them were indignant on behalf of Fu Shi.
"Wang Zhaodi, now that you're rich, you don't even recognize your own son anymore!"
"Wang Zhaodi, that's not fair of you! You treat one son like a treasure and the other like trash!"
Wang Zhaodi was so ridiculed by these people that she became incoherent, and finally blurted out,
"You're talking nonsense! Mind your own business!"
Fu Qiang's head was spinning from his mother's scolding, so he shoved Wang Zhaodi.
"Mother, please go back quickly, don't disturb me while I'm doing my work!"
He's more trouble than he's worth. He hadn't even established his authority before his mother's words completely swayed him!
Is the runestone the main point? The main point is the ship behind him!
Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui bought two fish and some meat and headed back. As they walked, Ye Xiaocui kept whispering to Fu Wan.
"This talisman is truly pitiful; Wang Zhaodi is really outrageous!"
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, then suddenly remembered something.
"Mom, is the village primary school about to start?"
September is almost here, and she's almost forgotten that she's supposed to send Shen Lingling to school.
Ye Xiaocui had obviously thought of this as well, and quickly pulled Fu Wan towards home.
"Hurry up, after you finish eating, go ask the village chief to write a letter of introduction to the village primary school!"
"By the way, haven't you and Lingling's household registrations been transferred back yet?"
Damn it, I completely forgot about this important thing!
Fu Wan was extremely annoyed. She had rushed back after getting the divorce certificate from the village, and more than a month had passed. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
I forgot to transfer my household registration!
She didn't even have time for breakfast. Fu Wan grabbed a pancake, packed some things, and was about to leave when Shen Lingling chased after her.
"Mom, where are you going! I want to go too!"
Fu Ming couldn't stop him. As soon as Fu Da heard that he was going to transfer his household registration, he ran to the village to find Old Li, who drives a tractor. He happened to be parked at the village entrance at that moment.
"Fine, let's go together!"
With a wave of his hand, Old Fu lifted Chen Lingling onto the tractor, and Fu Ming, who was behind, also pushed himself up onto the vehicle.
"Dad, are you going too?"
Seeing that Boss Fu was also sitting upright on the tractor, Fu Wan was a little curious.
"The Shen family bullied you like this before, do they really think I'm dead?"
He's going to settle accounts from both his past and present lives this time!
Fu Ming nodded in agreement. Now that his injury was completely healed, if Shen Dongsheng hadn't been at the fence, he would have called a few of his brothers to put sacks on the ground!
Fu Wan brought a can of unopened malted milk powder and several bags of fruit candies, which she had bought last time but hadn't eaten yet.
Time was short, so she could only take some things from home to Shenjia Village. The village chief and her neighbors had helped her a lot last time, so it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed this time.
Meanwhile, at the dock, Xue Qing was having a headache because he had been drinking with Jiu Jing until midnight the night before.
I was dragged to the dock by this Japanese man early in the morning, and I had nowhere to vent my anger.
"Sang Xue, how about we make our fishing competition this time a contest to see who can catch the rarest shellfish?"
Xue Qing initially thought this Japanese soldier wanted to catch fish to sell for money, or perhaps search for some treasure in the sea. He never expected that he actually wanted to collect some seashells!
"Mr. Kujii, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Jiujing smiled knowingly and said in a low voice, "Xue Sang is a smart man. I want giant clams from the seabed or precious corals. These are my targets."
Xue Qing wasn't too familiar with coral, but he did know about giant clam shells.
The Japanese man immediately set his sights on the giant clams on the seabed, which scared him so much that he lost all his sleepiness.
As early as 1983, giant clams were listed as rare protected marine flora and fauna.
This little devil wants giant clam shells, and even coral?
Why doesn't he just fly to the moon? He was so drunk last night that he's still dreaming in broad daylight!
