"Catch it! Such a big fish, it's rare enough, it'll definitely fetch a lot of money."
"Catch it? How? It's so big, you dare to catch it?"
"Aren't there Ah Ye and Ah Can? They're bold, they'll definitely do it."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Feng Ye and A-Can, eagerly awaiting their response.
Feng Ye felt helpless; these people only cared about their own interests.
But that's understandable.
The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of gain.
We are all slaves to money, struggling every day for a few coins.
Furthermore, whale sharks are not currently protected animals, so they can indeed be bought and sold.
But these people don't seem to consider how dangerous it is.
If you provoke a whale shark, the outcome could very well be the destruction of the ship and loss of life.
Moreover, subconsciously, he was unwilling to capture these gentle, large creatures.
After all, it wasn't easy for them to grow up like this, and every one they lose is one less.
Moreover, they had a past relationship as colleagues, although this guy was a bit unethical.
Therefore, he waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare to mess with this big guy. Its tail could smash the boat to pieces. It's too dangerous."
Ah-Can chimed in, "Yeah, don't even think about trying to persuade us. If you want to go, go yourselves. We don't have the guts."
The person who made the suggestion immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.
The others were also somewhat disappointed.
"Ah, even you guys don't dare, so what should we do?"
"It's so big, it's really dangerous. Maybe we should kill it first?"
"What are you going to do? Are you going to take a knife and go kill them?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you know how to use a gun? Aren't there plenty of guns in the village?"
"I doubt it. It's so big, it must be tough. The gun's power is limited, and it might not be able to kill it."
"I think we should just leave it here. When the tide comes in, it might swim away on its own."
"That's what I'm thinking too. If it's still stranded here when the tide comes in, we'll tell the village committee and let them decide what to do."
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.
"Yes, let's just leave it alone. If it can swim away, that's lucky; if it can't, then let the village committee deal with it."
"That's what I think too..."
"So what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Just go about your business. Of course, if you're willing to wait, you can stay here until dawn."
"Forget it, I don't want to be a mosquito magnet here."
"Everyone who needs to go out to sea should go out to sea. We'll know the outcome when we return this evening."
"Yes, we have to go out to sea. We can't let one fish ruin our chance to make money..."
"Who knows, it might still be stranded here when we come back..."
People walked towards their own boats in twos and threes, chatting as they went.
Of course, some people want to see the result and want to stay.
But considering it's only the early hours of the morning and there are still several hours until dawn, there's still a long wait.
We can't just stay at sea, go home for a nap, and then come out to see what's happening, can we?
If we miss a day, won't we lose a lot of money?
After hesitating for a while, reason prevailed.
Despite their reluctance, they boarded the ship and sailed out to sea.
After all, making money is the most important thing, and you have to bow to the pressures of life.
As for the result, there's no rush. We'll find out when we get back this evening.
In just a short while, several fishing boats were gone from the dock.
Several more lights floated on the sea, receding into the distance.
Some people had already left by sea, while others had just arrived at the dock and were unaware of what had happened.
Feng Ye and A-Can stayed for a while, chatted with the people who came later, and then put their arms around each other's shoulders and prepared to go back to sleep.
"Ah Ye, why are you turning back? Aren't you going out to sea?" someone asked in confusion.
"I have to go to my father-in-law's house to deliver the festival gifts after dawn, so I won't go out today. I can take this opportunity to rest."
“That’s right. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and it’s time to go and offer our congratulations. Besides, your father-in-law’s family lives quite far away. Unlike me, I can get there in just a few steps, but I have to find another excuse to rest.”
"If you want to take a break, just take one. Why do you need to find some ridiculous excuse?"
"That won't do! I can't afford to mess with the tigress at home!"
"So he's henpecked. That's a tough condition to cure!"
"What bronchitis? I don't have that disease."
Feng Ye's lips twitched, and he blurted out something again.
But shouldn't this word appear now?
He remembered that it first appeared in Ma Ji's crosstalk performance.
But considering the speed at which information spreads these days, it makes sense.
"It means that he is controlled by his wife and has no status at home."
"Haha, henpecked, that's quite an apt description."
Ah-chan laughed loudly.
The man was immediately embarrassed, glared at them fiercely, and then turned and boarded the boat.
...
When Feng Ye returned home, everyone was already asleep, and there wasn't a single light on.
He didn't have his house key with him, so he went outside and knocked on the window.
Ye Qingling had just fallen asleep and was still not asleep when she heard the sound and immediately realized who was knocking on the window.
But she still asked, "Is it A-Ye?"
"If he's not your husband, then who else could he be your lover?"
Ye Qingling was speechless and decided to keep quiet, deliberately letting him suspense and make him anxious outside.
Feng Ye waited for a while, but there was no movement, so he urged, "Ah Ling, open the door for me quickly, I don't have my key."
Ye Qingling deliberately said, "Why don't you go to someone else's house for the night? Of course, you can also go find your lover. I'm waiting for my lover too."
