Before we knew it, the day to cross the sea had arrived.
The ship we're traveling on is a medium-sized sailboat, carrying about a hundred people.
After boarding the ship, Yun Zhourong immediately distributed life jackets to everyone in the second household, including the servants.
These life-saving supplies were prepared by Ji Minxiu beforehand, and he had also explained how to use them to Yun Zhourong.
"This is truly a wonderful product!"
"Thank you so much, Miss Yun!"
"With this, even if we accidentally fall into the sea, we'll still have a chance of survival."
"..."
Seeing the life jackets floating on the water tank, everyone was overjoyed and gratefully thanked Yun Zhou.
Qin, however, frowned deeply.
She originally planned to find an opportunity to push Yun Zhourong into the sea, but now it seems she has to take off the little bitch's life jacket first.
This is such a hassle!
"Yun Zhourong, what about ours?"
Seeing that everyone else had life jackets except for their eldest son's family, Yun Mingzhu stepped forward to argue with a look of indignation.
"This life jacket is mine. What does it have to do with you? Why should I give it to you?" Yun Zhourong said coldly.
“We already have constables, why shouldn’t we have them?” Yun Mingzhu said righteously.
Yun Zhourong was so angry at her shamelessness that she laughed. She crossed her arms and said, "I can give my things to whomever I want. I just won't give them to you. What can you do about it?"
"That's right, you can buy Miss Yun's things if you want them!"
Upon hearing this, the other passengers who had bought life jackets from Yun Zhourong immediately chimed in, "We bought them with our own money, how dare you ask us for them for free, and with this attitude!"
“Exactly, if it were me, I wouldn’t even sell it to anyone, let alone give it away for free,” another passenger chimed in.
"Did you hear that? Aren't you all very rich? If you want life jackets, you can buy them with money." Yun Zhourong said, holding out her hand.
"I'm your own sister!" Yun Mingzhu shouted angrily.
“Even close brothers have to keep clear accounts, let alone since we’ve already separated our families. You can’t expect to get something for nothing.”
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the bow of the ship. "It's alright. Anyway, we still have half a day to reach Qiongzhou. You can take your time to consider it. Of course, if anything unexpected happens along the way, I can't guarantee anything."
"Stop right there, we'll buy it!"
Seeing this, Qin gritted her teeth and finally called out to stop them, "One tael of silver per piece, right? We'll buy it!"
It was her first time crossing the sea, and she had heard many rumors about sea voyages that ended in disaster. Looking at the endless, gray sea, she was still afraid.
“No, no, no, one tael of silver was the price just now. Now it’s fifty taels for one piece!” Yun Zhourong said, holding up five fingers.
"Yun Zhourong, you've gone too far!" Upon hearing this, Yun Mingzhu shouted angrily.
"Yeah, so what if I'm bullying you? You don't have to buy it, I won't force you." Yun Zhourong shrugged, looking completely nonchalant.
"you…"
"Alright, Pearl, let's buy it."
Qin stopped Yun Mingzhu, took a breath, and handed over two hundred taels of silver. "Is it okay now?"
Yun Zhourong took the life jacket and handed it over, saying sarcastically, "My aunt is really rich, but she just won't spend money to call a doctor for me. She's really heartless towards her stepdaughter!"
"Hmph, it's no use saying these things now, they won't affect me." Qin took the life jacket and turned to leave.
"Mom, that little bitch is deliberately bullying us, why are you still buying it!"
Inside the cabin, Yun Mingzhu said with a resentful look, "With so many people on this ship, I really don't believe anything will happen."
"This thing is useful even on ordinary days, so it's a worthwhile purchase," Qin Shi comforted Yun Mingzhu, patting her hand.
He secretly thought to himself, "Let that little bitch be arrogant for a while. Once she's dead, the money will naturally go back to her."
And these life jackets definitely need to be bought in advance.
Otherwise, once Yun Zhourong dies, and something unexpected happens after you get your hands on him, there will be no place to regret it.
"Let's set sail!"
Just then, the boatman shouted outside, and Qin felt the ground beneath her feet shake violently.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Well…"
But then she heard a faint yet mind-blowing drumbeat, which made her instinctively reach out and cover her head.
"The boat has set sail, Mother, I'm going to go see!"
However, the other members of the second wife's family all went up to the deck to look at the sea out of curiosity, and no one paid attention to Qin's situation.
After a moment of painful struggle, Qin suddenly raised her head, then stood up with blank eyes and walked towards the lower deck.
If Qin were conscious at this moment, she would have seen the female official who gave her the money standing on the dock, holding a rattle drum in her hand.
No one paid attention to Qin's actions. At this moment, Yun Zhourong and his family were all standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery at sea.
Because they were traveling with the wind, they were going very fast. The sea breeze that rushed towards them was salty and cold, causing Yun Zhourong to involuntarily shrink her neck and wrap her scarf tighter.
Looking down, you can see white waves breaking the surface of the sea as the large ship cuts through them.
"So this is the sea! It's so big!" Yun Mingyuan shouted excitedly, leaning on the railing.
The two little girls, Sun Xiaohua and Wu Dani, watched with wide eyes, their faces filled with wonder. It was the first time they had ever seen the sea in their lives.
"Hmm, what's that?"
As the group was enjoying the sea view, Yun Zhourong, with her sharp eyes, suddenly spotted something floating on the surface of the sea.
"Is it a person? Father, look, is that a person?"
"Yes, it really looks like a person!"
Upon hearing this, all the other members of the second wife's family stared intently at the figure and discovered that it really was a person!
Yun Zhourong quickly ran towards the cockpit, shouting, "Boatman, stop the boat immediately! There's someone in the sea!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the boatman quickly asked his assistant to take the helm, and then ran out to check the situation.
It was quickly confirmed that it was indeed a person.
So they quickly gathered the sailors and launched a small boat to rescue the people.
Before going down, Yun Zhourong put life jackets on each of them and also brought one for the person at sea.
"Oh dear, are they going to rescue someone?"
"How could there be someone at sea? How could they survive being soaked in the sea in this cold weather?"
"Who knows? Who knows how long it's been soaking?"
"Hopefully, he can be saved!"
"..."
Soon, the other passengers also noticed the situation and leaned over the railing to watch the people below being rescued.
Fortunately, the rescue went smoothly, and the person was brought up shortly afterward.
Only then did they realize that he was a young man who looked to be no more than 20 years old. He was dressed in fine clothes, had a handsome appearance, and clearly came from a distinguished family.
I just don't know why things have come to this.
"Hey, it's out of air."
After being rescued, the crew quickly checked his breathing, then shook their heads to confirm that he was not breathing.
"Move aside, let me see!"
