Fu Wan took the card from Boss Fu's hand. It was a cigarette box, and several names were neatly written on the unfolded side.
"Chen Balang, Fu Dahai?"
Fu Dahai and Fu Wan knew each other; they were both villagers from the same village. Their homes were on the west side of the village, and they were more than ten years older than Fu Ming and Fu Wan, about the same age as Ye Lin.
He could be said to be the poorest family in Fujia Village. Fu Dahai was born during a famine, and his mother died after giving birth to him.
Fu Dahai was raised by his grandmother, who would go to the beach every day to dig for clams and exchange them for rice soup with the villagers. Not long after the famine, Fu Dahai's father remarried and had several younger brothers and sisters.
Although the stepmother didn't treat Fu Dahai very badly, she wasn't his biological son after all. Before Fu Dahai even came of age, he had to move to his grandparents' old house because there were too many people in the family.
He finally got married a few years ago and had a son, but he is weak and sickly.
Fu Dahai didn't own a boat, so he worked as a porter at the dock every morning before dawn and as a laborer at the town's bus station during the day.
His wife is also busy with everything. Besides tending to the small plot of land at home, she spends all day at the beach gathering seafood in this cold weather.
Despite their hard work, the young couple could barely afford to cover their son's medical expenses and household expenses.
This family's misery was so well-known throughout Fu Family Village.
Fu Wan had an impression of Fu Dahai. This older brother was usually very low-key in the village, and would occasionally smile kindly when she saw him on the road.
However, she had never heard of this Chen Balang before.
"Father, who is this Chen Balang?"
"Chen Balang? Oh, it's normal that you don't know him. He's from the next village and is more than ten years younger than me."
Years ago, we worked together on a boat, diving and splashing around. I figured Amin's boat would need an experienced captain.
Fu Wan nodded in deep agreement, "Experienced people are indeed needed. You can contact this person's father."
Boss Fu was a bit conflicted. "Awan, this guy's salary might be higher. He's experienced and calm in the face of problems. The key is that I have to poach him from another company. He's currently working on another ship."
Fu Wan didn't care about this and immediately nodded in agreement, "The manager's salary should definitely be higher. Dad, you decide. It's fine to offer fifty to eighty yuan a month."
In addition, we have year-end bonuses and holiday benefits.
That makes sense.
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she looked at the card again and saw two more names.
Just then, Fu Ming returned from the new house, and Fu Wan immediately conscripted men for labor.
"Brother, come with me for a bit. We need to find these two people."
"Looking for someone? Sure, I'll go get the car keys."
Fu Ming instinctively reached for the motorcycle keys, but was stopped by Boss Fu as soon as he turned around.
“These people are all from the village, why are you riding a motorcycle?”
"I need the motorcycle; I need to go check it out in the next village."
With his father being so domineering, Fu Ming had no choice but to obediently hand over the car keys.
The two had just left their homes and reached the vicinity of Fu Dahai's house when they heard a woman crying coming from his house.
"Come on, come on, if you've got the guts, go ahead and kill me today."
You're a grown man, and you can't earn any money all day, yet you complain about the food at home.
So what if the food is bad? I went out and got all these wild vegetables and sea snails myself.
What have you done, you heartless monster?
A burst of sobbing left Fu Wan and Fu Ming looking at each other in bewilderment. Fu Wan took two steps closer, intending to tiptoe and see what was going on in the yard, when suddenly a loud slap was heard, which made Fu Wan's face darken instantly.
"I'll beat you to death! So what if I'm disgusted? I work myself to death outside all day to earn money, and when I get home you make me eat these wild vegetables."
Tell me, where's all the money in the house? Did you use it all to support other men?
"Look at yourself now, you can't even cook a meal properly, what use are you to me?"
Fu Wan couldn't stand the smell of alcohol in the air and whispered to Fu Ming beside her.
"This is Fu Dahai?"
What kind of garbage is this?
She doesn't want to hire someone like that on her ship!
Fu Ming, who was over 1.8 meters tall, immediately saw the situation in the courtyard.
"What Fu Dahai? The one in the yard is Fu Dazhi."
Fu Dazhi?
Fu Wan took out the card that Boss Fu had given her before, and the last name on it was none other than Fu Dazhi.
"Tsk tsk, I never expected that this usually quiet kid would actually be a wife-beating piece of trash."
Fu Ming muttered to himself that Fu Dazhi's family was slightly better off than Fu Dahai's, but only by a tiny bit.
This man was considered diligent by the villagers; Fu Ming had seen him working at the dock with Fu Shi and the others quite often, moving goods.
I never expected him to hit his own wife.
"Let's not take this person. Let's go check on Fu Dahai's family instead."
Fu Wan despised men who abused their wives the most. The two had only taken two steps when they were greeted by a barking dog.
Fu Dazhi spotted Fu Ming and Fu Wan at a glance and quickly greeted them with a smile.
"Amin and Wan, what brings you here?"
Fu Wan ignored him with a cold face, but Fu Ming chuckled in response.
"Oh, we need to talk to Brother Dahai about something."
Fu Dazhi immediately started thinking about it. Everyone knew that Old Fu from the village had made money at sea and had acquired a large boat.
Those who had been moving the goods before guessed that Boss Fu's family was going to hire people, but they didn't expect that in the end only Fu Dayong was called by Fu Liang.
Are you looking for Fu Dahai now because you're also hiring?
Thinking about this made Fu Dazhi feel uncomfortable. He was a few years younger than Fu Dahai and had been at the dock longer than Fu Dahai. Why did they look for Fu Dahai but not him?
So he immediately grinned and invited Fu Wan and the other woman, "Hey, Dahai is definitely not home at this hour. Why don't you come over to my place for a cup of tea?"
After saying that, he turned and glared at Li Fang in the kitchen next door, "Aren't you going to get the thermos?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming quickly declined, "No need, Brother Dazhi, you guys go about your business, we have things to do too."
After saying that, he chased after Fu Wan without looking back. Fu Dazhi was immediately embarrassed and angry, but dared not question her loudly.
He could only laugh and say, "Okay, if Dahai isn't home, tell me what's going on. I'll tell him when he gets back."
There was no reply from the alley after he finished speaking, so Fu Dazhi could only spit out a mouthful of saliva to the side.
"Damn it, they look down on people just because they have a little money."
He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket; it was crumpled and crumpled, a hand-given cigarette from the previous night while playing cards.
"Cough cough cough cough."
Li Fang couldn't stand the smell of smoke and immediately started coughing violently.
Fu Dazhi glared at her again, then quietly walked to the wall, wanting to hear what was happening at Fu Dahai's house next door.
Fu Wan and her companion stopped at the entrance of Fu Dahai's courtyard. The fence was not high, and Fu Wan could see the general layout of the house at a glance.
Well, the family looks simple, but it's kept very clean and tidy.
"Woof woof woof!"
