Fu Wan could sense Sun Youjin's eagerness even through the phone call.
Just as Fu Wan was about to hang up, Sun Youjin's urgent voice came through again.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, could you give me a sneak peek at what kind of fish we caught this time?"
"Haha, Mr. Sun, I can only say you'll be absolutely satisfied. I was the first to notify you, so hurry up and come over. If you're late, the other bosses should have arrived by now."
These words made Sun Youjin even more anxious. Before he even hung up the phone, Fu Wan heard him shouting for someone to arrange a truck.
After hanging up with Sun Youjin, Fu Wan handed her mobile phone to Fu San and asked him to notify the bosses he dealt with.
She herself went to take a look around the cold storage. Boss Fu was chatting with Old Village Chief Fu, who had come to watch the commotion, when he saw Fu Wan coming over and quickly waved.
"Ah Wan, why don't you go back first and tell your mother not to wait for us to eat?"
Fu Wan nodded. She glanced at the cold storage room, which was already half empty. She estimated it would take another half hour to finish moving everything.
"Okay, Dad, where did you put the sea cucumbers I picked up?"
When these words reached the ears of Village Chief Fu, they meant the ordinary sea cucumbers they usually caught while fishing at the beach.
No matter how hard he tried, he would never have imagined that Fu Wan was talking about the rare white jade ginseng.
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu remained calm and composed. "Oh, I almost forgot. It's right under the warehouse kayak. Remember to take it back."
Fu Wan responded and turned to get the white jade ginseng.
Fu Qing and Fang Min had finished cleaning up the deck. Fang Min wanted to help unload the cargo, but Fu Wan stopped her.
With so many men carrying seafood, there's no need for a woman like her to go up there.
She's not made of iron either; after so many days at sea, her body is already exhausted. She needs to hurry back, have dinner, and get some rest.
Fang Min listened to Fu Wan and immediately went back with Fu Qing. As for Fu Mancang and the others, Fu Wan didn't bother with them.
Anyway, the seafood has already been distributed to them, and when they go back is not something she can decide.
However, judging from the way Fu Mancang was talking animatedly with Fu Xiaochuan and the others while unloading cargo, he probably wouldn't want to go home until he had a good chat at the dock today.
Having not been home for several days, Fu Wan felt a special fondness for the big tree in front of her yard.
Yuanbao was the first to hear the noise and smell his familiar scent. The puppy's wariness instantly relaxed, and his tail wagged like a propeller as he rushed forward.
Ye Xiaocui, Fu Ling, and Qin Mingzhu were busy in the kitchen when villagers came to inform them that the boat had returned.
Ye Xiaocui originally wanted to take the children to the dock, but then she thought that her family would definitely want to take a hot bath when they got back, so she turned around and went into the kitchen to boil water.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were helping Ye Xiaocui pick vegetables. The two children were picking vegetables, but their eyes and minds were on the doorway.
Hearing Yuanbao's commotion, the two children immediately dropped the vegetables they were holding and ran out.
"Mother!"
"Godmother!"
"Why!"
Fu Wan held one in each arm and patted their heads one by one.
After a fragrant moment of maternal love and filial piety, Fu Ling began to chatter on and on, complaining.
"Mom, you're finally back! Are Uncle and Grandpa back too?"
Let me tell you, a thief broke into our house. It's a pity that Grandma didn't take me with her, otherwise my sister Mingzhu and I would have beaten him to a pulp.
Luckily, Wangcai and Xiaohuang were fierce; the thieves were bitten several times. "Mommy, do you know the police officers at the police station? Those two thieves are so wicked! They must be locked up for life!"
Fu Wan frowned immediately upon hearing this. Just then, Ye Xiaocui came out of the kitchen and called Fu Wan to take a bath.
"Mom, a thief broke into the house? Are you alright?"
That's strange. How come I haven't heard my third uncle mention such a big thing?
Little did she know that before their boat docked, Fu San was still thinking about reporting this matter to them.
As soon as the boat docked, there were thousands of kilograms of yellowfin tuna and yellow croakers that hadn't been seen in a long time. Fu San's mind was filled with the money that kept flying into his head, and he didn't remember anything else!
Moreover, the two thieves had already been handed over to the police, so Fu San instinctively felt that the danger was over.
Upon hearing Fu Wan's question, Ye Xiaocui's eyes instantly reddened. Heaven knows how scared she was, an adult at home, when something like this happened.
Now that her daughter, son, and husband have all returned, Ye Xiaocui has instantly found her pillar of support.
"Oh my, you're absolutely right, that night almost scared me to death!"
I felt something was off when you first set sail…
It has to be said that Fu Ling's talkativeness is inherited; Ye Xiaocui speaks exactly like Fu Ling.
But she had been to the scene of the incident and met the two thieves, so when she talked about it, she was even more indignant.
Those damn thieves! How dare they covet her daughter's things! Even if they're in jail now, she'll tell her family and make them go to the police for a severe sentence!
After Ye Xiaocui finished her rapid-fire narration, Fu Wan's brows furrowed into a tight knot.
She saw things more clearly than Ye Xiaocui. Ye Xiaocui thought those two people were after money, but Fu Wan didn't think so.
Fu Wan was even more puzzled when Wang the Cripple mentioned that she had Tian Yuan's things at home.
Tian Yuan—she'd never even heard of that name before!
There are no people with the surname Tian in the fishing villages around here.
Therefore, Fu Wan could not possibly have his things, unless this Tian Yuan is a fake name, or rather, he is an enemy agent!
Having dealt with those islanders several times, Fu Wan treated all those of unknown origin as enemy agents.
Thinking about it this way, their motives become quite clear.
Only enemy agents would inexplicably claim that their belongings are in her house.
If she wasn't mistaken, this thing was most likely referring to the Imperial Seal of the State, which hadn't yet been made public.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Fu Wan's eyes. These enemy agents dared to sneak into her home while she was away. Fortunately, Wangcai and Xiaohuang were reliable, otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
She had to talk to Sun Shao-ping about it later. This time, the enemy agents were stupid and didn't harm Ye Xiao-cui and the others. If they had encountered some ruthless ones, Fu Wan didn't even want to think about the consequences.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan instantly came to her senses. She wondered how Sun Shao Ping and Bai Qian Zhou were doing. It had been almost half a month, and there was still no news from them.
Pulling herself back to reality, Fu Wan's gaze met Fu Ling's questioning eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Wan patted the little girl's head, and Fu Ling tugged at Fu Wan's clothes in confusion, asking, "Mom, when you were thinking about something just now, you had a murderous aura about you!"
Fu Wan burst out laughing upon hearing this, "You even know what murderous intent is?"
Fu Ling nodded seriously, looking like a little adult.
"Of course I know, that's how it usually looks when I see uncles and aunts training."
Our teacher said that this is the killing intent of a warrior. Mom, I have that killing intent too.
If any bad guys ever come to my house again, I'll definitely beat them to a pulp!
