The father and his two sons arrived at Liu's house, where Liu greeted them with a smile.
He had hinted at it before, but he didn't expect the Su family father and son to make a decision so quickly.
"Please come inside and sit down."
Liu, the fishmonger, invited the Su family father and son into the house to sit down. His wife, Li Meiyun, immediately poured tea, and after making the tea, she went out to visit other people's homes.
"Da Liu, we've come here today because we'd like to ask you for help in finding out something."
Su Dahai looked at Liu, who was collecting fish, and spoke.
Liu, the fishmonger, nodded happily: "What is it? Just tell me. I'll definitely help if I can."
"It's about buying a boat. You said last time that you knew someone who sells large boats. Our family wants to get a bigger boat, and we also plan to sell our current boat. Do you know anything about this?"
Su Dahai didn't beat around the bush and just said it directly.
Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong sat quietly to one side, without interrupting.
Fish Collector Liu looked at Su Dahai and nodded with a smile: "There is an 800-horsepower, three-story steel fishing boat, 32 meters long and 5.5 meters wide, equipped with an excellent navigation system and a good engine. It is almost brand new and priced at 100,000. This boat has not actually been out to sea many times, but strange things have happened on it."
"What strange thing is going on?"
Su Chengguo couldn't help but press for more information.
A large ship that has only been to sea a few times, a new ship would cost at least 150,000, but it was resold because of some strange event, which must be something extraordinary.
"No one has died, but every voyage is unsuccessful. Everyone is vomiting and having diarrhea. No matter how much we check and disinfect, it's no use. Every voyage results in a loss. After a voyage, everyone has to lie in bed for half a month. So, the owner had to resell it after less than half a year. Because of the rumors surrounding this, the price has been pushed down again and again. If you want it, we can lower the price by another three or four thousand."
Liu, the fishmonger, glanced at the three members of the Su family. This strange matter was neither a big deal nor a small one.
"Will people experience vomiting and diarrhea if someone else goes out to sea?"
Su Dahai asked with doubt, he was certainly tempted by such a large ship, but he also had to be cautious about this matter.
Fish Collector Liu nodded: "That's the weird part. If it were just one person, it would be fine, but the problem is that several groups of experienced boatmen have been changed. After three hours at sea, the whole crew is bound to capsize. Some even exaggerate, saying that they couldn't even pull themselves out and had to stand on the boat for a few hours before they immediately succumbed to a torrent of water..."
Liu, the fishmonger, pouted at the end, indicating that this was too fake.
If it's really that strange, then they might as well stop going to sea and just focus on treating people who can't defecate.
“If you’re interested, I can arrange a time to take you to see the ship. Everyone’s energy is different, so maybe you can go up and feel it before making a decision? Anyway, I felt quite uncomfortable standing on it, but I think you are very fortunate and can handle it.”
Seeing that the Su family father and son were silent, Liu, the fishmonger, raised an eyebrow and spoke again.
Su Dahai and his two sons looked at each other.
Su Chengguo said, "Dad, we can't get anything done by being bothered by those bastards anyway, so let's just go and take a look."
Su Dahai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Around 100,000 yuan is enough, which is almost all the savings the family has.
Those scoundrels from the Wang family are already harassing them, so rather than being bothered by them, it's better to shake them off completely.
"Then it's settled. I'll ask about the time tomorrow when I have some free time. It should only take three or four days."
Liu, the fishmonger, gave a definite answer.
“You’re bound to get harassed these next few days at sea. You won’t make much money anyway, so just have some fun with those bastards. Be careful at sea, and if they dare to make a move when we get ashore, we’re not pushovers.”
Liu, the fishmonger, looked at Su Dahai and said, "Those families are just jealous of the Su family's good luck, but they're not so desperate as to risk their lives. They just want to take advantage of the Su family."
At sea, everyone's boats were moving at roughly the same speed, and Su Dahai was an experienced sailor, so they couldn't catch up with him anyway.
Thank you.
Su Dahai nodded thoughtfully.
Liu, the fishmonger, smiled and waved his hand, saying that favors are reciprocal and there was no need for thanks.
The matter was settled, and Su Dahai and his two sons went home. Liu Shouyu saw them off.
Back home, Su Dahai took the opportunity to tell his family everything.
"Is there really such a strange thing?"
Zhou Chunmei was surprised to hear this, as she seemed to have never encountered anything strange in her life, except perhaps having nightmares.
She still vividly remembers that nightmare. She dreamt that Su Chengguo and his two sons died in a shipwreck and their bodies were never found. Her family was going through a terrible time. Every time she thinks about it, she feels heartbroken. But when she sees her husband alive and well, she is relieved that it was just a nightmare.
"It's hard to say. Maybe we'll get lucky and be able to suppress it."
Su Chengguo laughed heartily. He thought what Liu Shouyu said made a lot of sense. Everyone's fortune is different. Some evil things that others can suppress, you may not be able to suppress. At this time, whoever has good fortune will win.
"Ah~"
Take me there, take me there, I can handle anything.
Su Tiantian used her babyish voice to attract the whole family's attention. What's so strange about it? Everyone has to bow down in front of the dragon. She has a divine status.
Su Luo was also thinking about the strange things about the big ship, but when she heard her daughter's voice, she looked down and saw Su Tiantian smiling brightly, her mouth opening and closing as if she was expressing something.
"Sweetie, what is it?"
Su Chengguo leaned closer, looking at Su Tiantian's bright smile, and said with a smile, "Tiantian, you don't want to come on that big ship with us, do you?"
"Ah~"
That's right, that's right, my second uncle is really smart.
Su Tiantian was pleasantly surprised that her thoughts had been guessed.
Her reaction made the whole family fall into deep thought.
"This child seems to understand us perfectly. She's always showing curiosity about the outside world, but if there's anything wrong with her, we can't take her out. Children are weak, and if she gets frightened, she'll feel unwell."
Liu Xiaohua said earnestly.
They can't understand anything about this child, so we can't just take the child there based on our own guesses.
"Mom is right. We won't take Tiantian there casually. We'll talk about it after we go out to sea tomorrow."
Su Chengguo gave a mysterious smile. If they didn't know what to do, they could ask the Sea God.
Both Su Chenggong and Su Dahai thought of this and believed it was feasible.
"It's getting late, go and tell the children to go home, wash up, and go to bed."
Su Dahai has spoken, said what he needed to say, and now it's time for him to rest.
Everyone got up and went back to their rooms, while Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue went out together to call the children.
Su Luo carried Su Tiantian back to the house, and Liu Xiaohua brought hot water to help Su Tiantian wash her face and hands.
After everything was done, Liu Xiaohua returned to the main house.
Su Luo gently lay down, and seeing that Su Tiantian was still awake, she whispered, "Little darling, can you understand what we're saying?"
"Ah~"
Yes, Mom finally found out.
Su Tiantian's response stunned Su Luo. She didn't know if it was a response or if she was overthinking it, so she tentatively asked, "Tiantian, if you can understand, can you say 'ah' again?"
