Old Village Chief Fu's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. He had drunk some wine at noon, but not enough to get him drunk.
When Fu Wan asked this question, he thought he was hallucinating because he had drunk too much.
"Let me...let me get on the ship?"
Village Chief Fu pointed to himself, and it was the first time Fu Wan had ever seen him look so insecure.
She feigned sadness and joked, "What's wrong, Village Chief? You don't like my boat?"
"Oh dear, how can you say such a thing!"
Village Chief Fu immediately beamed with joy, "Yes, I'll definitely go! Wait for me to go back and change my clothes."
When boarding a new ship, you have to dress smartly!
Looking at the old village chief's appearance, Boss Fu couldn't help but laugh.
Fu Wan thought for a moment, then turned around and went to her room to get her mermaid clothes. As soon as she took them out, Feng Ji noticed them.
"This is... whale skin?"
Fu Wan shook the clothes in her hand.
"You mean this? This is my family's heirloom sharkskin robe."
Mermaid clothing.
Feng Ji carefully examined the drab-looking clothes. As someone who dealt in antiques, he had some knowledge of rare and precious items on the market.
He had previously read in the book that fishermen used to make clothes from the finest whale skin, which could be used to keep warm and also to wear when going to sea.
However, this thing is extremely complicated to make, and the technique of making clothes from whale skin has long been lost.
Unexpectedly, he actually saw the real thing with Fu Wan.
"The name 'Jiaoyi' is quite clever."
Feng Ji stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh.
Because it was a girl's dress, Feng Ji did not pick it up to look at it, but only told her to keep it safe.
Fu Wan smiled upon hearing this. If she were to ask what her most treasured possessions were, besides the gold bricks buried underground, it would be this mermaid robe.
When Fu Ming finished his work, he saw Fu Wan holding a mermaid outfit and knew she was preparing to go into the water.
"Ah Wan, let me go down into the water and take a look too!"
Although it's already mid-November, the sun has been shining brightly these past two days, and the temperature is still quite nice.
Fu Wan thought about it and, since she had a wetsuit, nodded in agreement.
"Take them all with you. We'll ask Brother Liang later if he wants to come down with us."
Fu Liang, who had just returned with fish bait, overheard this and immediately shouted.
"Yes, I'm going too!"
Oh dear, he finally got the chance to go into the water; heaven knows how long he'd been thinking about it.
Seeing this, Boss Fu could only feel envious; there was no way he would go into the water today. Feng Ji and Jiang Wanghai were about his age, so he had to stay on the boat and take care of them.
We can't very well let Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, two women, explain the situation of the nearby sea area to them.
After preparing the fishing rod and net, Fu Wan carried the things and walked towards the dock.
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui followed closely behind, while Wangcai chased after them for a couple of steps before turning around and going home.
It's strange, but only yesterday when Fu Wan and the others went to the county town did Wangcai insist on going with them. After they came back, Wangcai was like a dream come true, and he stayed in the yard every day and didn't go anywhere.
Fu Wan thought that this might be an animal's instinct for danger.
Before they went to the county town, Wangcai probably sensed danger.
Considering they were robbed and kidnapped in the county town yesterday, they probably didn't understand Wangcai's warning.
"Hey, what is the village chief doing?"
As they got closer to the dock, Fu Ming spotted Old Village Chief Fu waiting there.
However, when Fu Wan looked closely, she realized that the person was actually Fu Lao Er.
"The village chief is getting anxious and upset again."
Judging from the way Fu Lao Er hunched his neck, it was clear that he had been scolded quite severely by the old village chief Fu.
Fu Wan secretly complained that Old Village Chief Fu went home with a smile today. He took out the Zhongshan suit that he only wore during the New Year, greeted his wife Liu San Niang, and then went to the dock to wait for Old Fu and the others to arrive.
Before Fu Lao Da and the others arrived, Fu Lao Er approached him first.
Fu Wan took a few steps forward, and their conversation was carried to her ears by the wind.
"Village chief, I had no choice. At noon, those men searched my house with A-Qiang, and then took A-Qiang away."
You're knowledgeable and know many people, could you please ask around and see if you can rescue A-Qiang?
After saying this, Fu Lao Er knelt down directly before Village Chief Fu.
Old Village Chief Fu rolled his eyes and took several steps back in disgust.
"Fu Lao Er, that's enough. Your family members are all responsible for why Fu Qiang has ended up like this."
Besides, where am I supposed to find someone for you? He broke the law—concealing valuables and treason. Decades ago, he wouldn't even have gotten a peanut!
Old Village Chief Fu knew that people had come to the camp this morning, but at the time most of the villagers were watching Old Fu's boat at the dock.
So Village Chief Fu instructed Fu Jian to quietly go to Fu Lao Er's house with the comrades from the camp.
When he got back, he heard from Fu Jian that Fu Qiang, that little brat, had actually hidden the box Xue Qing had prepared under the bed. Inside, besides a few guns, were some confidential documents that Xue Qing's uncle had previously hidden.
Thankfully, Fu Qiang was too incompetent to know what was inside. Otherwise, those few guns alone would have thrown the village into chaos!
Village Chief Fu had originally thought that the matter was over and wouldn't bother him, but he never expected that Second Brother Fu would have the nerve to come and ask him to plead with the camp leaders.
Fu Lao Er originally thought that Village Chief Fu didn't know what was in Fu Qiang's box, but when he heard Village Chief Fu say that he was a traitor, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper, and he sat down on the ground like a lump of mud.
They all came from those eras; colluding with the enemy and betraying the country meant being a traitor! Such a grave crime, and it was actually committed by their own son.
He knew in his heart that Chief Fu was just a village chief, how could he possibly control such a serious crime?
Seeing Fu Lao Er's pathetic state, Village Chief Fu was also disappointed in him.
"Stop making a fuss. Now you're just hoping he wasn't involved much in what happened. The organization won't wrong an innocent person. If Fu Qiang really wasn't involved much, he can come back later."
If you keep recklessly rushing around trying to rescue people, I'll make sure you get yourself locked up in jail!
Old Village Chief Fu said this out of consideration for the fact that they shared the same surname. Upon hearing this, Fu Lao Er sat there blankly, watching as Fu Lao Da and the others drew closer and closer. Only then did he droop his head and hunch his back as he walked home.
"Village Chief, is that Fu Qiang really...?"
Fu Wan leaned forward and asked in a low voice. Old Village Chief Fu nodded heavily, then sighed.
“I really can’t control what’s going on with him. Our Fu Family Village has really had a lot of bad luck to run into all this trouble.”
Based on what Fu Qiang did, and what the Fu brothers did before, Fu Family Village will definitely not be among the advanced collectives this year!
