Just then, Boss Fu returned. Seeing Fu Wan and Fu Ming huddled together, seemingly discussing something, he assumed it was something important.
What are you two talking about?
"Oh, nothing, Dad. The village chief and the others just came over and asked if we wanted to buy that boat."
After hearing Fu Wan's words, Boss Fu shook his head and sighed while washing his hands.
"It's a real shame that the ship is in this state now."
"What, Ah Wan, you want to buy it?"
Fu Wan shook her head. "No, with the new boat, our family will have two boats now."
Fu Laoda finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was already busy with the new house and the cannery, and if the ship was bought, he would have to keep an eye on its maintenance.
He's almost fifty years old, and his abilities are still limited.
“Our family won’t buy it, but Brother Liang can!”
Fu Ming interjected, and Boss Fu pondered for a moment, "You two were just discussing this?"
Fu Wan nodded, "Yes, Dad, it's a real pity to dismantle that ship. If Brother Liang buys it, he can go to sea with us and increase his income."
Although Fu Liang's current income is quite considerable, having his own boat is definitely a different story.
Fu Liang's father was Fu Laoda's cousin, and he treated him quite well.
So ever since Fu Liang's father passed away, he has been doing his best to help him.
But children eventually grow up. Fu Liang is older than Fu Ming. If he has his own boat, it will be good for him to get married in the future.
"Okay, A-Ming, go and call A-Liang over, let's discuss it together."
Fu Ming accepted the order and ran off to find Fu Liang. Fu Wan glanced at the time, went inside to change her clothes, and prepared to go to the camp to pick up the people later.
"Uncle, Wan, you were looking for me?"
As soon as Fu Liang entered, he asked, since Fu Ming had been acting mysteriously the whole way and hadn't told him what it was about.
Since there was still some time, Fu Wan patiently told Fu Liang about the old village chief Fu selling his boat.
"Here's the thing, Brother Liang, this boat is worth buying. Aside from the few hundred dollars for the boat itself, you can fix up the hull for two hundred dollars and make it look nice... Wait, what are you doing?"
Fu Wan was completely shocked. Before she could finish speaking, Fu Liang's eyes reddened.
"Ah Wan, do you dislike me and don't want to take me out to sea anymore?"
"If it really doesn't work out, I can ask for less pay, as long as I can stay with you guys."
What nonsense is this? Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated, while Boss Fu scratched his head and looked up at the sky speechlessly. Only Fu Ming laughed hysterically without any restraint.
"Are you sure you can handle this, Brother Liang? We're letting you buy a boat and go out to sea with us, not stopping you from going out to sea."
Why don't you buy your own boat, and keep all the profits from it?
Fu Liang shook his head with a dark face, "It's not good. With my luck, I might not even have any success at sea."
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You can't work for us for the rest of your life!"
"Why not? It's possible now, and it's possible in the future."
Fu Wan waved her hand and said seriously, "Brother Liang, you're about to get married. If you have children in the future, their schooling and food will be a problem."
If you seize the opportunity, buy a boat, and start your own business, you'll definitely reap greater rewards later.
After saying that, she added, "We're not asking you to go completely solo. We'll still go out to sea together, just like before, with both boats going out together. It's just that the income from this boat will be counted as yours."
Fu Liang understood after hearing that.
"Then wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?"
Fu Wan sighed helplessly and waved for Fu Ming to go up. Fu Ming understood immediately and went up to embrace Fu Liang.
"I'm just asking you, aren't we family?"
Fu Liang nodded, and Fu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "That's it then, why should we argue so much as family?"
Fu Liang agreed with this, but one thing at a time, he thought for a moment and then shook his head, "No, even if I buy this ship, I will still share some of the profits with you."
Fu Wan didn't refuse this time, after all, it was already not easy for everyone to persuade him to buy the boat.
"That's for later. Go back and discuss it with your aunt first. If you really intend to buy it, prepare the money and go find the village chief later."
After saying that, she added, "We have to hurry, otherwise it will be troublesome to disassemble and reassemble it later."
"Okay, I'll go talk to my mother right away."
After Fu Liang finished speaking, he turned around and ran home to discuss it with Jiang Chunlan.
"Hey, I didn't realize Brother Liang was such a stubborn person."
Fu Wan sighed, while Fu Ming curled his lip and said, "What stubbornness? To put it bluntly, it's just stupidity."
If she weren't foolish, she wouldn't have insisted on carrying him home when he was injured, nor would she have given Ye Xiaocui the only money she had at that time.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head to the camp."
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she looked for the motorcycle keys on the altar in the main house.
The tricycle was too conspicuous, and she was reluctant to drive it.
"Strange, where did the motorcycle keys go?"
Hearing Fu Wan's mutterings, Fu Ming finally remembered.
"Motorcycle? Ye Lin took the motorcycle back. You were still sleeping this morning, so I forgot to tell you."
So that's how it is. Fu Wan didn't mind at all; it's just a motorcycle, she could lend it to her.
However, she was also a little curious, "When did Brother Ye Lin learn to ride a motorcycle?"
Fu Ming said proudly, "Just before, I taught him to ride it after only two laps and he got it."
Fu Wan couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. No wonder Ye Lin was so daring; he had only just learned to ride and already dared to go to Qingshan Village.
Since the motorcycle wasn't available, she had no choice but to ride a tricycle.
Fu Wan's bicycle is now being used by the two children. If Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu weren't still so young, they could ride it around by themselves.
...
Fu Wan arrived at the camp at exactly five o'clock. The sentry at the gate saw the unfamiliar tricycle and was about to go up to question it when he saw Fu Wan jump off the vehicle.
"Comrade Xiao Fu?"
Fu Wan was surprised that he actually knew her, so she immediately smiled politely.
"Comrade, I'm here to pick up my child from school. Do I need to register?"
The sentry nodded. Although Fu Wan was special and could enter and leave the camp, she still needed to register.
As Fu Wan was about to hand the registration book back to the sentry after writing down her name and the time she entered, she heard another series of orderly footsteps beside her.
"Where did this car come from? It's blocking the road!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan assumed that her car was blocking the road.
She hurried over, "Excuse me..."
Before she could finish speaking, she spotted Xu Zhiqiang standing next to the group.
Xu Zhiqiang was not surprised to see Fu Wan. He only asked her because he saw her registering.
After all, Fu Wan's car was parked on the side of the road, so it didn't actually block their way.
Upon seeing Xu Zhiqiang, Fu Wan understood everything.
"Comrade Xu, my car is parked on the side of the road, how is it blocking your way?"
