Sun Yunmei doubted that she had misheard and asked again, not believing it.
“.”
"We didn't spend any money on the boat, and the innards are negligible. It's just the hooks and fishing nets that cost a few hundred yuan, so this money is pure profit."
Sun Yunmei was stunned for a long time, her body became weaker and weaker, and she almost fell over.
"One million..."
"Mom and Dad, don't get excited. We haven't received the money yet; it's a check. We need to go to the bank to collect it. I think we can buy the building materials and start building the house as soon as possible."
"Oh, right, we still need to pay back the money for the house in Hong Kong that Brother Bai gave us, as well as the money for that boat. We can't take advantage of them."
Mingjing went inside, took out a small notebook, and did some calculations. "Mom and Dad, let's pay back 100,000 this time. After all, we still need money to build the house. We'll pay back the rest once we make a profit."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it back!" Ming Dahai gasped for breath, his face flushed and his neck thick with excitement.
"Tomorrow I'll have your dad go to town to buy the best building materials and build a house!" Sun Yunmei was overjoyed.
Ming Dahai waved his hand, "No, I have to go collect the traps tomorrow. There's definitely a big catch. You have no idea how lucky Mingjing is."
He vividly described to the group how he caught fish at sea, and then he talked about mermaids. Sun Yunmei was terrified and kept muttering, "May the Sea Goddess protect me."
“Why did you bring this spotted parrot back? You should have sold it. We can do whatever we want with it,” Sun Yunmei said, feeling sorry for it.
"Mom, it's okay for us to try it. We've made so much money, what's wrong with eating one?"
After Mingjing said that, Sun Yunmei didn't say anything and took the fish to the kitchen.
After busying herself in the kitchen for a long time, Sun Yunmei suddenly remembered something and said, "Mingjing, several people came to my house today and asked me if I had gotten two boats."
"Then what?"
"I can assure you that there aren't any; they're all rented from the town."
Mingjing nodded. "Yes, Mom. From now on, we'll just say it's rented, and let them say whatever they want."
"Sister, but Fan Yuliang is such a blabbermouth, he keeps telling people that your boat was bought, and that it's Song Yugui's boat."
Mingyue was doing her homework in the courtyard when she looked up and interrupted.
“No matter what they say, it was rented, and I rented it for a hundred yuan,” Mingjing insisted.
But then she thought again, that didn't make sense. If she just said it was rented, the villagers definitely wouldn't believe her. If things got out of hand and Song Yugui and Ming Xingwang turned against her, that would be a real problem.
"Mingyue, how do you know it was Fan Yuliang who spread false information?"
“His neighbor Gao Shi’s son is my classmate, Gao Chao. How could he be lying? He also said that Fan Yuliang is most afraid of you now, saying that we earn more money and make money faster than him. He has been unhappy about it for a long time.”
Mingjing knew that Fan Yuliang was trying to cause trouble to suppress her, and since she had made a move, she naturally wouldn't hold back either.
"You do your homework, I'm going out for a bit."
Mingjing dusted himself off and walked out the door. As he passed Old Wang's convenience store, Old Wang called out to him, "Mingjing, what's the deal with your boat? Is it really Song Yugui's?"
"Uncle Wang, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Why would I want Song Yugui's boat? I rented it."
Mingjing was a little annoyed and turned to ask, "Uncle Wang, don't you have any negative news about Fan Yuliang?"
"Negative news?" Old Wang nodded and said, "There really is one. Fan Yuliang's mistress in town has had another son. How about this?"
"Does Fatty know?"
"I know, I was even planning to bring her back to raise. You know Fatty can't have children. I heard Fatty even gave that woman over 100,000 yuan to get rid of her."
Mingjing glanced at Lao Wang sideways, "Fatty knows that, so what kind of secret is that?"
"Isn't this something you don't know? By the way, are you planning to deal with Fan Yuliang?" Old Wang asked with a smile.
"I didn't, Uncle Wang, don't wrong an innocent person."
Mingjing, as if her thoughts had been exposed, turned and left.
She had intended to go to Old Zhao to ask about the harvest, but seeing that Old Zhao's house was closed today and there was a sign hanging on the door saying he was going on a long trip, she turned back.
Back home, after dinner, Mingjing lay on the bed browsing fishing tackle shops.
The farm's progress bar is still at 99.9, and I have no idea when it will end. My luck value has dropped to 70.
As she was reading, her eyelids closed heavily, and a sudden, urgent phone ring woke her up.
It was Xie Jun'an calling. He said the weather would be nice in a couple of days, and he could take her out sea fishing. The banquet needed a few big fish, and he wanted to get them himself.
Mingjing mumbled a reply while still half asleep, then removed the hang-up button and turned over to go back to sleep.
Mingjing had just fallen asleep when his cell phone rang inexplicably. Still half asleep, he fumbled for the phone and answered it.
There was no response from the other side, so Mingjing turned over and went to sleep.
Less than two minutes later, the phone rang again. Mingjing thought it was Xie Junan and answered it, cursing. After a long silence, she looked down at the phone.
It's down again.
The third time, Mingjing couldn't sleep and kept an eye on her phone. The call was from Wang Yong, and just as she was about to answer, he hung up again.
Damn it, are you playing around?
She angrily dialed back, but the other party rang for a long time without answering.
After waiting a while longer to make sure she wasn't going to hit him anymore, she turned over and went to sleep.
Mingjing got up early to collect her fishing traps. Before dawn, she opened the fishing tackle shop and found her luck stat was 80, which was pretty good.
Mingyue and Minglei are going to school, and Mingliang is going to town to get building materials. Today, only Mingdahai and Mingjing are going out to sea together.
"I'll go instead," Ming Dahai said, worried that Mingliang might be deceived.
"Dad, I'll go. I'll give you a quote when I get back. I still need to study when I get back, so I won't go beachcombing today."
Mingliang drove his tricycle to town.
The two went to town, got bait from Xie Jun'an, and when they heard that they were short of people, Xie Jun'an volunteered to go out to sea with them.
If labor is offered to us, we shouldn't refuse it.
Fearing overloading, Mingjing chose to go out to sea on a yacht today. Moreover, she noticed a tail following her when she left the house. What would happen if they found out?
"Dad, shall we go a little further away to set our hooks today?"
Today, in addition to collecting the ground traps, she also needs to go to the deep sea to set up a multi-hook rig. There should be plenty of stuff there, and she's also worried that her tail might discover their treasure island.
After thinking it over, the three decided to take a trip to the deep sea.
"That puddle could actually be cleaned up now," Ming Dahai thought, his heart itching with anticipation.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Mingjing stood on the deck and could see a large ship with its high beams flashing behind them from a distance. It was still dark when they set off, so the light made it exceptionally clear.
"Why is that ship following us?" Ming Dahai also noticed something amiss.
"It's probably Fan Yuliang's boat. They see us making money and want to get a share of the profits," Mingjing said coldly.
In fact, Fan Yuliang is nothing to fear. At most, she is just jealous of their money and wants a share of the pie. She is afraid that she will threaten their position, which is understandable.
But if Fatty's family business were to be targeted first, it would be a piece of cake. And if Zhang Ping and Ming Dashan got involved, those old geezers would be a tough nut to crack.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend; she could think of that, and so could Fatty's family.
For a moment she really didn't dare to deal with Fan Yuliang, but she couldn't swallow this insult either, so she followed him everywhere, knowing that something bad would happen sooner or later.
