Ah-chan said, "I want to save up money to buy a big boat, at least one that can trawle nets."
Feng Ye advised, "Take it slow, don't rush. Use the small boat for now, and upgrade to a bigger boat when you've saved enough."
"Brother Ye, how about the four of us pool our money to buy a trawler? We should have enough money from yesterday, right?"
As soon as Ah Can said this, the others looked at Feng Ye with hopeful expressions.
Feng Ye glanced at his eldest brother before shaking his head and saying, "You three should stick together; I won't get involved."
The boat is too big; their money is simply not enough. If the boat is small, they won't need four people to work on it.
Another reason is that the ordering cycle for new ships is too long. If you place an order now, you can forget about delivery this year, and you don't know when it will be delivered next year.
So he preferred to keep the money and see if he could buy a second-hand boat.
"Brother Ye, if you don't invest, we won't have any confidence!"
"You can think about it yourselves."
"Alright, let's discuss it."
The three of them then huddled together and began to discuss their plan in private.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Feng Ye ignored them and noticed that Feng Xuan had lost her initial excitement.
"Sigh, forget about the boat, I'd rather go work as a laborer at the dock."
Thinking of his wife's tendency to only take and never give, Feng Xuan lost interest.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "Is it because all the money is with your sister-in-law?"
"You know what kind of person he is. If I ask her for money to buy a boat, she'll make a scene with her parents again. She already did yesterday... Sigh, never mind."
Feng Xuan shook his head.
“Boats are hard to buy these days. You should find one first, preferably a second-hand one, which is cheaper. You won’t lose much when you need to change boats. If your sister-in-law really doesn’t want to pay, I can lend it to you first.”
His older brother is a good person; we should help him if we can.
Feng Xuan gritted his teeth, his face hardening: "I don't need you to lend me money. If we really find a boat and your sister-in-law refuses to pay, I'll go to her parents' house and make a scene, so she'll never have the face to come back home again."
My younger brother is willing to help me earn money, so why should I worry about so much? I can't do manual labor for the rest of my life.
