The next day, Feng Ye was woken up at dawn.
"Ah Ye, Ah Ye, wake up, it's time to go to the city..."
His father's voice came in from outside the window.
"Okay, I'll get up right away."
Feng Ye responded, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and got out of bed.
At first glance, he saw a thick stack of banknotes neatly arranged on the table.
He smiled, turned around, and leaned down to kiss Ye Qingling.
"He doesn't even brush his teeth, they stink."
Ye Qingling opened her eyes and glared at him with displeasure.
Feng Ye didn't bother arguing about such a pointless topic, and instead asked, "Have you finished counting the money?"
"Yes, I gave you an extra 500 yuan."
"Okay, you can keep sleeping, I'm leaving."
He got dressed, grabbed a bag with money, opened the door, and went out.
While he was washing his face, Du Guilan came over with a wad of cash in her hand.
"Ah Ye, this is your older brother's share, a total of 45,000 yuan. Count it."
As she spoke, she handed over the money.
"Wasn't it 40,000? What do you mean by giving me an extra 5,000?"
Feng Ye stared blankly at the stack of money.
“It was Ah-chan’s idea. He talked to me about it last night and said that we shouldn’t take advantage of you. We’ll each contribute an extra 5,000 yuan, and you’ll still get half of the share. I thought it made sense, so I agreed.”
"There's no need for this..."
"Yes, I'm already very satisfied that you can help your brother earn money. It's only right that I contribute more. If it weren't for you, your brother would still be carrying sacks at the dock."
"Alright then."
Feng Ye no longer declined.
Since they're willing to save him money, why not?
He took the money and pretended to count it: "The amount is correct."
"That's good."
Du Guilan breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid she might have miscounted, which would have been embarrassing.
"It's a pity your brother doesn't know when he'll be back, and he doesn't know that we've gained another ship, and a big one at that."
"Haha, if he knew, he'd jump for joy."
"Um."
Du Guilan imagined Feng Xuan's expression when he found out, and couldn't help but smile.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go now. Father, A-Can, and Uncle Ling should already be waiting for me on the boat."
There was no sound from the workshop; presumably, the goods to be delivered today had already been loaded onto the ship.
"Okay, you guys come back soon. I also want to see what this big ship that cost 160,000 looks like. I guess A-Ling and Mom feel the same way."
"We'll try our best."
...
When we arrived at the city's dock, it was still quite early.
Feng Ye and A-Can went to the Trade Plaza to deliver the goods first.
Although it was early morning, the Trade Square was already bustling with people, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard everywhere.
Feng Ye paid special attention to the money in her bag, afraid that she would lose it.
He not only hung the bag around his neck, but also dared not let it out of his sight for even a moment.
There's 160,000 yuan in there (Ah Chan's share was already given to him on the way here).
These days, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an astronomical figure.
If it were lost, saying I'd jump into the sea would be an exaggeration, but I'd definitely be heartbroken.
As a result, he accidentally bumped into people a few times.
After delivering the goods and walking out of the trade plaza, where there were fewer people, Feng Ye touched the money in his bag to make sure it was all still there before finally breathing a sigh of relief and feeling at ease.
He chuckled and said, "Where there are many people, there are also many thieves. It's always better to be careful."
The other three watched him busily working, their cautious demeanor failing to detect anything amiss.
If money were in any of their hands, they would be even more careful and afraid of it being stolen.
They had already found out the location of the Intermediate People's Court when they delivered the goods.
It's quite a distance from the trade square, so walking wasn't feasible. They took two motorcycle taxis instead.
When they arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, the four of them stood at the main gate, but all of them hesitated.
Although there were no gatekeepers or security personnel stopping them, they were all a little hesitant to go inside.
Nobody goes to court unless there's a reason; 99.9% of people never go to court in their entire lives.
Moreover, this is the Intermediate People's Court.
Finally, Feng Ye mustered up his courage and took the lead in going in.
However, once inside, they didn't know where the enforcement bureau was or where to look for it.
The problem is that I can't find anyone to ask.
From the moment they came in, they didn't see a single staff member, and they had no idea what any of them were doing.
Ah-Can was at a loss and asked, "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do but keep looking?"
They searched the first floor but didn't see any offices with anyone in them, let alone any offices with the Enforcement Bureau sign.
The only option was to go up to the second floor and continue searching.
As soon as they went up to the second floor, they encountered a man wearing a peaked cap and a uniform that looked somewhat like a military uniform walking towards them.
Looking at the four people who approached, a hint of doubt flashed in the man's eyes: "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Hello, hello, comrade."
Feng Jiaqing smiled obsequiously and said, "We were notified to come and set sail."
"Set sail? What are you doing at the Intermediate People's Court? Shouldn't a boat be heading to the dock? What are you doing here?"
Feng Ye stepped forward and quickly explained, "It's like this, my wife received a phone call yesterday, telling us to come to the enforcement bureau today to complete some procedures..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly realized and said, "You should have said you wanted to contact the enforcement bureau. I thought it was some kind of boat, but it turns out it's a seized boat."
The enforcement bureau is on the third floor; it's the first office on the floor. Go up there yourselves.
"Thank you so much..."
