People from the county?
Fu Wan's first thought was the Shen family. There were no others. Recently, the only people who had a problem with the Fu family were Fu Lao Er and Shen Dongsheng's family.
Although Fu Lao Er said that his mother and wife were having an affair, he himself was not confused, and he had no connections in the county.
As for the Shen family, she remembered that the third son of the Shen family worked in that unit in the county, otherwise her mother-in-law would not be so arrogant every day.
Oh, it's my ex-mother-in-law.
As Fu Wan was thinking this, she accidentally bumped into a small rock, which fell into the water with a "bang".
What was that sound?
Some people on the boat were talking, but another person, called Laizi, didn't care at all. "What noise could there be at night? At the beach, it's just the sound of the waves."
The man didn't believe it and kept thinking there was someone nearby.
He walked to the side of the boat and looked around. The dark beach was deserted, with only the waves crashing against it.
Never mind, maybe I really did mishear.
"Qiangzi, that's enough, let's go back!"
Fu Wan hid in the seawater and heard the noise on the ship gradually quiet down, so she knew that the people had left.
As soon as she heard the boat ask if anyone was on board, she quietly went out to sea.
Even if she could move freely in the sea, she was still a woman. She wouldn't confront several men head-on.
I still need to go back and think about this carefully myself.
Thinking this, Fu Wan swam towards the shore. But after only a couple of steps, she felt something biting her leg.
What is that?!
Oh my god, could we have really run into a sea snake or a moray eel?
She instinctively kicked the thing away, but instead kicked a hard shell.
shell?
When Fu Wan turned around, she saw a sea turtle staring at her with its small eyes and a face full of resentment.
Take a closer look at the patterns on the back and the newly scabbed wounds on the legs.
Ha, it's an old acquaintance, no, it's my old acquaintance Gui Fugui!
Fugui was also good-tempered. After Fu Wan touched its shell, it shook its head and gestured for Fu Wan to follow it.
Come quick, two-legged creatures! It has found a great spot!
Fu Wan tied the net she had used to catch fish to the edge of the reef, and then followed the sea turtle back into the sea.
Last time, Fugui led them to a school of white pomfret; who knows what surprise awaits them this time.
But since she's empty-handed, she probably won't catch many fish.
However, it's worth going to take a look; consider it an adventure.
After swimming for a while, the man and the turtle arrived at an unfamiliar sea area.
There aren't many corals here, but there's plenty of seaweed. Schools of colorful fish come and go, and quite a few fish deliberately bump into Fu Wan as they pass by.
They're really fearless!
However, this was not the most shocking thing for Fu Wan, because when she parted the thick seaweed, she saw several large covered boxes!
There was also a broken box, with silver light scattered all over the ground.
Over time, a lot of sand has covered it, so it's no longer very noticeable.
Once Fugui arrived at the destination, he refused to swim any further. He stopped on the seaweed beside him, picked up a piece of silver light from the ground, and then eagerly handed it to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan reached out and took the silver coin, examining it carefully.
Yes, it's a silver dollar, commonly known as a "big dollar".
Silver dollars were the currency in circulation during the Republic of China era. I don't know how so many silver dollars ended up here.
Fu Wan stepped forward and opened all the boxes, finding that without exception, they were all filled with silver dollars.
Well, it's a pity there's no gold.
If there were a box or half a box of gold in here, I can't imagine how happy I would be.
However, silver dollars are also valuable.
She couldn't take much with her now. Fu Wan picked up a few and put them in her pocket, then went up and petted Fugui, casually took a harpoon and shot two small fish at it, and then it floated to the surface.
After carefully surveying her surroundings and pinpointing the location of the silver coin box, she swam towards the rock where she had tied the net.
There's plenty of time in the future. She can't take the silver dollar now, but she'll remember the location and come back later.
Anyway, no one could have imagined that there were several boxes of silver dollars at the bottom of the sea.
After picking up the net and observing the area again to make sure no one was nearby, Fu Wan went directly onto the boat and touched the fuel tank.
Sure enough, the lock on the fuel tank had been pried open. Upon opening the cap, the smell of diesel fuel was not strong.
She reached in and touched it; her hand was only slightly black, and the consistency was wrong. It must have been mixed with water and some diesel fuel from the side of the fuel tank.
Since she's already here, she might as well make the best of it. They stole the oil from her today, and in a couple of days she'll make sure they return it to her honestly.
You should know that the diesel engine contains no oil, only water. If Fu Wan and the others hadn't known this and had tried to start it, the consequences would have ranged from the engine not starting at all to the engine exploding.
These days, replacing a diesel engine can cost several hundred yuan, so this guy called Lai Zi Qiangzi is really ruthless.
She carried her things and quickly returned home via a side path, just as Ye Xiaocui heard the sound and got up.
Ever since Boss Fu's accident, she has been unable to sleep due to family members going to sea. Only now, hearing the commotion outside, has she felt at ease.
"Awan, I've boiled some water in the pot. Go and rinse yourself first."
Ye Xiaocui, carrying a kerosene lamp, took the net bag from Fu Wan's hand.
It was fine if I hadn't mentioned it, but it gave her a shock.
Why is it so heavy!
They're heavy! A mackerel weighs over ten pounds, a parrotfish weighs three or four pounds, and most importantly, there's a pig-toothed fish that looks like a piglet.
As for the remaining conch and mantis shrimp, those are small creatures.
Ye Xiaocui couldn't stop smiling; the mackerel in her hand was quite valuable.
"That fish is really fierce, Awan, are you alright?"
Fu Wan took off her jacket and shook her head.
"I happened to see two fish fighting and managed to snag one."
Ye Xiaocui was even happier now, and began to say, "Thank you, Mazu."
It was so late, and Fu Wan didn't want her to worry, so she didn't mention her boat.
After Fu Wan finished showering and dried her hair, Ye Xiaocui also lowered all the fish into the well to keep them fresh.
Rural areas don't have such good conditions; without refrigerators, they can only keep food fresh by watching the temperature at the bottom of the well.
"That mackerel is really nice, and so is that tuskfish. Should I go ask your third uncle if he'll buy them? Maybe we can sell them both?"
Fu Wan refused outright, "Mom, keep it for yourself. We can use the mackerel to make dumplings, and I'll get some pig tooth fish to trade with Aunt Wang for a watermelon later."
The watermelons at Aunt Wang's house are really sweet. Today, not only Fu Wan liked them, but even Fu Ming ate one without saying a word, and Chen Lingling even ate watermelon juice all over her mouth.
Ye Xiaocui knew that her family was not short of money, but she was used to being frugal and felt that eating this was too extravagant.
However, since Fu Wan caught the fish, she stopped insisting after her daughter said so.
Suddenly remembering something, Fu Wan mysteriously pulled something out of her pocket.
"Mother, look what this is!"
