Amidst laughter and conversation, the small boat quickly reached the shore.
Ye Qingling and Du Guilan were both at the dock, along with a dog.
They asked the same question as Feng Jialing out of curiosity.
Everyone briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon.
Of course, the specific details are omitted; it is only said that they encountered robbers, then successfully fought back and handed the robbers over to the police.
They were terrified and their faces turned pale.
"How could something like this happen? Is everyone alright?"
Ye Qingling asked with concern, her gaze sweeping over Feng Ye.
"Everything is fine, nothing's wrong."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "It's just that the boat collided with something. We'll take it to the shipyard for a check-up tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Ye Qingling patted her chest: "It doesn't matter if the boat is damaged, as long as everyone is safe."
"Alright, let's talk about it when we get home. It's so late, everyone should go home and get some rest."
Xiao Zhaojun and his son greeted the boatmen and then headed into the village to return to their respective homes.
Neither the Dongsheng nor the Fengshou ships brought back much cargo today, so there was no need to move any.
The decision to return was made on short notice, so we didn't keep any of the odds and ends; we threw them all back into the sea.
After everyone else left, Feng Ye and the others also headed towards their home on the beach.
Little Black wagged its tail and followed closely behind.
When they got home, Ye Qingyu had already boiled water. Feng Ye took a bucket of water to take a bath first, leaving Ye Chenliang and his two siblings to talk.
After taking a shower, Ye Qingling asked incredulously, "You caught 150,000 catties of Pike trout in one net? Really? How could there be so many?"
"Of course it's true."
Ye Chenliang said excitedly, "You didn't see it, the scene was so shocking, the net was full of golden light, it was packed with people."
We worked from morning until two or three in the morning to get all the fish onto the boat.
"It was only because the crew of the Harvest came to help later, otherwise we would have been working until dawn."
"It's precisely because we had too much stock and made too much money that we came back early."
Feng Ye added, "Brother, I'm done washing up, you can go wash up now."
"Uh... okay."
Ye Chenliang took the bucket from him and went to the kitchen to fetch hot water.
"150,000 jin? That's way too much! Can a ship really carry that much?"
Ye Qingling still couldn't quite believe it.
Ye Qingyu also said, "Tsk tsk, 150,000 jin, I can't even imagine how much that is."
"There are so many, an incredible number."
Feng Ye said, "There's definitely no way we can fit that many fish in the holds. The fish hold is full, and the deck is piled high with them. In the end, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 jin left that we can't load..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingyu exclaimed, "Oh no, what should we do? We can't just throw it away, can we? That would be such a waste!"
"How could it have been thrown away?"
Feng Ye shook his head. "Isn't the Harvest Ship nearby? We'll load the rest onto the Harvest Ship."
"Is the fish hold on the Harvest empty? Did they not catch any pufferfish?"
Ye Qingling asked.
"They also caught some, but much less than us, only 100,000 jin."
But the Harvest is bigger and has a greater carrying capacity. After loading their own cargo, it could barely fit our remaining 40,000 to 50,000 jin (20,000 to 25,000 kg).
"It's good that everyone has gained something."
"It was precisely because there were too many goods that they attracted attention."
There were people trying to rob it when we were at the dock.
Luckily, I was quick-witted and sent Ah-Can to call everyone over, and he even brought his gun…
Feng Ye patiently recounted his experience after selling the goods in detail once more.
Finally, he said smugly, "Hehe, in the end, we are all safe and sound, while those guys were taken away by the police. I guess at least a few of them will be executed."
"You seem quite pleased with yourself."
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "You were lucky this time. They didn't have any long-range guns. Otherwise, you would have been in danger."
"There is definitely danger, but it's not that easy to get caught in it."
Feng Ye patted his head. "I was stupid at first. I was only focused on running away and didn't realize that we had two boats. Dealing with one boat would be a piece of cake."
Ye Qingling glared at him and said, "It's better to run if you can, don't be reckless."
Ye Qingyu chimed in, "Yes, brother-in-law, safety is the most important thing. In the future, if something like this happens, it's best to run away first."
There are so many people on the ship. What would I do if something happened to them?
"I think you're not worried about your sister, you're worried about your little sweetheart, Ah-Can, aren't you?"
Feng Ye chuckled and joked.
Ye Qingyu blushed instantly and said coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Who's worried about him?"
Feng Ye laughed loudly and continued to tease, "Oh, you still won't admit it? Look how red your face is."
I'm ignoring you.
Ye Qingyu was so embarrassed that she stomped her foot, got up, and ran back to her room.
"Why are you teasing Ayu? Don't you know she's shy?"
Ye Qingling gave Feng Ye a reproachful look, then shook her head helplessly.
"Just kidding."
Feng Ye shrugged. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to our room. I'll show you what we got from this voyage. Don't be too surprised, okay?"
"Tch, 150,000 jin of plum blossoms, I can roughly guess how much that costs."
As Ye Qingling spoke, she first closed the door and bolted it before following Feng Ye into the room.
Despite being mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw that her handbag was full of money.
There were over 150,000 of them, some neatly stacked, others scattered, all radiating an alluring luster.
A physical object can be more impactful than a string of numbers.
"So much money!"
She picked up several stacks of hundred-yuan bills with her left hand and grabbed a handful of scattered banknotes with her right hand. Her eyes widened as she looked at the symbols on the banknotes.
"That's all, a total of over 150,000. This trip has really made us a fortune."
"My goodness, last time you brought back 100,000 yuan, this time even more."
"If my brother and your brother hadn't gone with you, I would have really suspected you weren't going out to sea to fish, but rather to do something illegal."
"What are you talking about? I've always been law-abiding, okay? How could I possibly do anything illegal?"
"You have the nerve to say that? You weren't breaking the law when you were robbing chickens and dogs in the village before?"
"You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics. Isn't that all in the past?"
Feng Ye was both amused and exasperated.
A stain on one's life.
Why was I such a jerk before?
Why!
