Wan Suizhou was extremely anxious, but Zhang Xiu and the others had not yet returned, so he could only try his best to delay them.
"Please wait a little longer, everyone. Once my daughter-in-law returns, she should be able to deliver the fish you requested."
The two men grew impatient and their earlier good temper faded: "Do you really think we don't know anything? It's all over the place that people are saying you can't complete the orders at all!"
Another person added, "That's right, today is the final deadline anyway. If you can't pay, you'd better prepare the penalty fee!"
Wan Suizhou wiped the sweat from his brow, his heart filled with unspeakable bitterness, so he could only force a smile and say, "I know, I know, everyone please wait a little longer..."
"Wait, wait! How long are we supposed to wait?!"
The two men had clearly lost their patience and got up to go back and report.
"I don't think you're going to finish the order! We should hurry back and not waste our time here!"
After they finished speaking, they all got up and headed out before Wan Suizhou could say anything more.
"Everyone...everyone, please wait..."
Wan Suizhou tried to stop them helplessly, but the two of them showed him no respect whatsoever.
"Wait a moment!"
Just then, a childish voice came from behind them.
The two men turned around and saw a group of children of similar age running towards them, panting.
They had their trousers rolled up, and their clothes were a little wet. Each of them carried a huge grouper on their shoulder.
Upon witnessing this scene, Wan Suizhou was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
"All the fish you wanted are here. Count them!"
Baili Wanwan directed her underlings to put the fish down and then addressed the two waiters.
The two men stopped when they heard the noise and began to examine the fish that Baili Wanwan and the others had caught.
Zhang Xiu had just returned from the sea at this time.
She had been busy all day but only caught two fish, and she thought she would have to pay a lot of compensation.
When I got home, I found that Wanwan had already gathered all the fish.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but was also deeply moved. However, she also felt sorry for Wanwan.
A child, trying to help her, had to worry about making a living, which made her feel even more guilty.
"Oh, great! Hahaha..."
Just as the group fell silent, one of the men suddenly burst into excited laughter.
The attention of everyone in the Wan family was drawn to it, as if they were asking what had happened.
After laughing, the shopkeeper turned to Zhang Xiu and the others and said, "I've been helping my boss buy ingredients for years, and I've never seen such plump and fresh grouper..."
A waiter from another restaurant chimed in, "That's right! If we take this back, the manager will like it, and the customers will definitely rave about it!"
The two men loaded their fish onto the carriage and then came to pay.
While paying, the two discussed the matter. Zhang Xiu said, "Your fish this time were very good. If you can guarantee this quality every time, let's sign a long-term contract. That way, both of us will have our own guarantees..."
If this were someone else, they would be overjoyed and decide on the spot, but when it came to Zhang Xiu, she hesitated.
"this……"
"What? What's there to hesitate about?" The waiter was a little confused.
"If you consistently supply goods of this quality, the price is negotiable."
Zhang Xiu gave a wry smile, then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I don't have that much power..."
Baili Wanwan overheard their conversation.
She often couldn't understand parts of what the adults were saying, which were often roundabout.
So he looked up and asked Wan Suizhou, "Why doesn't Auntie agree?"
Wan Suizhou patted her head and pointed out Zhang Xiu's concerns incisively.
"Although long-term supply can earn more money, it also comes with a lot of pressure. For example, if we fail to complete the order this time, we will have to compensate for all the losses."
"What's there to be afraid of? There's still Wanwan..." Baili Wanwan said innocently.
But Wan Suizhou didn't say anything, he just smiled at her.
Wan Suizhou took her words as a child's joke, but Baili Wanwan took them seriously.
She ran up to Zhang Xiu, hugged Zhang Xiu's leg and said, "Auntie, please agree. Wanwan will help you catch lots of fish."
Zhang Xiu was initially hesitant, but she was easily swayed and couldn't resist Baili Wanwan's soft, sweet voice as she coaxed and pleaded with her.
So, on a whim, she agreed.
It was three days later that Zhao Damei learned that Zhang Xiu's order had been completed.
Three days ago, Wan Qiusui was almost swept away by the waves. After Zhao Damei rescued her, she also had a high fever and stayed at home for three days.
Once Wan Qiu Sui was back to her energetic self, all the obstacles in the Wan family were cleared away.
"To be honest, Zhang Xiu is really lucky. This is clearly a very difficult task to complete, so how did she manage to finish it by sheer luck?"
That day, Zhao Damei and several women from the same village were chatting and gossiping, having nothing better to do.
Another old woman spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells and said, "What else could it be? It must be because we found a treasure!"
Once the topic was brought up, everyone started talking non-stop, and several people gathered together.
"It's really strange, ever since the Wan family picked up that little girl, it's been like they've been blessed by the gods, and their lives have become smoother and smoother!"
"Exactly! If there really is a child who can bring good fortune to the family, let's go and pick one up, and feed it the best food and drink every day!"
The crowd burst into laughter, then someone said, "Whose child do you think this is? The Wan family has raised him for so long, why haven't they returned him to his family?"
Someone immediately said, "This child doesn't know anything, where can we send him?"
Zhao Damei listened intently from the side without interrupting.
He lost his memory when he heard from others that Baili Wanwan had appeared in Lanhai Village. He had no idea who his family was or where they lived.
A flicker of something else flashed in her eyes, and suddenly a different thought took hold...
A few more days passed, and suddenly some rumors started circulating in Blue Ocean Village.
The story goes that a man lost his daughter and has now found his way to Blue Ocean Village, asking around about her whereabouts.
Because the woman described by the man was exactly the same as the little girl the Wan family had found, both in appearance and age, a kind person gave him directions to go to the Wan family and ask.
When the man arrived at the Wan family's house, who had been acting suspiciously, only Baili Wanwan was home.
Remembering what Zhao Damei had told him when she hired him, the man thought to himself, "It's just as good that no adults are home. These kids are even easier to fool than adults."
So he confidently walked in.
Hearing a noise at the door, Baili Wanwan looked up. The unfamiliar man standing there made her feel vaguely uneasy, so she frowned slightly.
