At the police station, Mingjing ate and drank well, then lay down on the sofa in the conference room and fell asleep.
"Master, this girl is a real tough nut to crack. She must have accomplices. Otherwise, how could she have been so lucky as to make so much money in one night?"
“Wang Yong! You’re a policeman, and you’re making judgments based on guesswork? Do you have any evidence? She’s just a young girl, are you going to ruin her life? If you’re just jealous of how much money she makes, why don’t you just take off your uniform and go fishing with her?”
Wang Liang's face turned red from the scolding, and he lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
"I know I was wrong, Master, please don't be angry."
The older policeman patted Wang Liang on the shoulder, "Young man, you're still young, don't be impulsive. How about we go to the village to investigate today?"
“There are indeed blue shrimp burrows, quite a few. I had an expert from the city look at them, and they are an improved aquaculture variety. There are no aquaculture farmers nearby, so I guess tourists brought them in to set up burrows.”
"Moreover, the villagers all say that Mingjing always manages to catch big fish, but they don't know how she catches them, which is why I said this girl is not simple."
The old policeman nodded, looked around the room, and said, "Perhaps she really is capable. I don't think this matter has anything to do with her. You're the one who caused this trouble, so you should deal with it yourself."
"But, Master..."
Wang Liang wanted to argue a few more points, but then the roar of a helicopter sounded overhead.
A moment later, the helicopter landed on the grass not far from the police station, and a group of men in suits got off.
"I can testify that this is a misunderstanding."
...
"Fatty, what brings you here?" Mingjing, having heard that he had been cleared of suspicion, came out and was stunned to see Ah Liang.
"Mingjing, why are you calling me that?" A Liang pouted, somewhat displeased.
"Mr. Bai said you're in trouble and asked me to come over. It's complicated for him to come from Hong Kong, but I happen to be in Jian'an Province, so I can get here quickly."
Ah Liang grinned.
"Thanks to my godfather for his help, otherwise I might be going to jail."
"It's alright. President Bai said that you are the eldest daughter of Hanyuan Group and cannot be wronged. Now that the matter is resolved, I'll head back first."
Ah Liang turned around, boarded the helicopter, and left.
Seeing the scene at the door, Wang Liang became even more convinced that Mingjing was no pushover.
The chairman of Xiangjiang Group personally sent people over; this is the kind of scene a fisherwoman should have.
After seeing Ah Liang off, Mingjing felt completely relieved. She turned her head and glanced at the two men standing at the door, who were utterly astonished, and suppressed her anger.
The collusion between government and business caused the officials to lose face, and Mingjing knew that life would be difficult, so he could only endure it.
A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast sky; who can argue with someone's thick skin?
"Officer, I was starving because I didn't eat, so please don't be angry with me."
"It's alright, it's getting late, you should go back now," the old policeman waved his hand.
Wang Liang scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm new here, I misunderstood you, I'm just glad you're not angry, young lady."
"A clear mirror!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Dahai and Sun Yunmei rushed in from the police station entrance.
"Mom and Dad, what brings you here? I'm fine now," Mingjing said, glaring at Mingyue with a reproachful look.
Hearing that everything was alright, Ming Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, but his old face remained furrowed as he asked, "What exactly happened?"
"I'll tell you on the way," Mingjing said, pulling Mingdahai back.
On the way, Mingjing and Mingdahai talked about what happened that afternoon.
Sun Yunmei frowned and guessed, "Could it be your second uncle? He's always been envious of us. Last time he didn't find anything, it must have been him!"
Mingjing pursed her lips and didn't reply.
Actually, she also thought it was Ming Dashan. Besides him scheming against Ming Dahai all day long, who else would be so bored?
"I'm going to find him!" Ming Dahai couldn't help but want to confront Ming Dashan.
Mingjing pulled him back, "Dad, there's no evidence yet. Let's wait until I find some."
Given Ming Dashan's stubborn nature, she definitely won't talk without evidence, and then we'll have to label her a criminal suspect.
Mingjing's mind was in turmoil, and she just wanted to be alone. After returning home, she lay on her bed, trying to figure out who had reported her.
After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, I simply got up and went to the yard to pick up oysters.
The group gathered around and picked out the larger ones, leaving the smaller ones behind, while Sun Yunmei continued talking about the whistleblower.
“The villagers are usually very friendly, but when something happens to us, they run away faster than rabbits. Look at the faces of those people just now.”
Sun Yunmei sighed as she spoke.
"I should have known better than to send those things; they wouldn't have gotten anything done anyway," Sun Yunmei said, feeling a pang of regret as she thought about the gifts she had given away.
Ming Dahai, with a pipe dangling from his mouth, muttered, "Alright, it's good that Mingjing is alright. It's late today, we'll take these oysters out to sell tomorrow."
Mingjing finished cleaning the oysters and got up. Then Sun Yunmei remembered something else.
"Mingjing, how was your trip to your uncle's house today? There was no fighting, was there?"
"No, my uncle didn't let me in. I put my things down and came back," Mingjing sighed as she walked into the house.
Sun Yunmei wasn't too surprised; it was something she had expected.
"Huh?"
Mingjing walked to the door and suddenly saw the oysters in the basin. Among the pile of oysters, there was a huge one.
"Mom and Dad, this oyster is so big? It doesn't look like a pearl oyster."
“No, this is the only one this big,” Ming Dahai said with a smile. “I estimate it weighs about half a pound.”
Ming Dahai said with a smile.
The oysters in the nearby sea usually only weigh four or five ounces, and they are all small. This is the first time he has seen such big ones.
"So heavy? We'll make a profit on this one."
"Who says otherwise? But these used to be small. The seafood we caught when we went beachcombing was huge, and one of them could sell for several dollars. Now there are fewer and fewer of them."
Ming Dahai recalled that when he was sent to the countryside, he relied on picking seafood to survive. Sometimes he could find abalone the size of his palm and large fish the length of his arm.
A single piece of seafood the size of a palm can earn you a day's worth of work points.
Looking at the oyster, Mingjing picked it up and weighed it in her hand; it was indeed quite heavy.
"Mom and Dad, this oyster is quite big. Let's get a few and make steamed oysters together."
"That won't do. Each one costs a lot of money. It would be too wasteful for us to eat them ourselves."
"Mom and Dad, it doesn't matter if there are a few less oysters, they're not worth much anyway, I'm already craving them."
After saying that, Mingjing took the large oyster and picked up a few smaller ones and went to the kitchen together.
"You just ate it without warning?"
Sun Yunmei felt a pang of regret seeing the giant oysters under Mingjing's command become innocent victims.
"Of course, Mom and Dad. These oysters are meant for us to eat, but the best ones are meant for us to try."
With a swift motion, Mingjing sliced the oyster shell open.
Inside, there's a ring of tender white meat. After removing the internal organs, I'm washing the oyster meat.
A bulge caught her attention.
"A stone?" Mingjing asked suspiciously, squeezing out the bulge with her hand. Suddenly, a white, round bead appeared.
The beads are perfectly round and translucent white.
Mingjing laughed out loud, "Oyster pearls?"
Hearing the sound, Ming Dahai came over to look. "What are you grinning about?"
"Dad, there really are pearls!"
Mingjing showed the pearl to Mingdahai.
"Oh my goodness, I only knew that abalone had pearls, I didn't know that oysters had them too!" Ming Dahai excitedly took the pearl and looked at it.
Hearing that there were pearls, Mingyue and Sun Yunmei also came over.
"Which is more valuable, this or abalone?"
Sun Yunmei was overjoyed. She knew this when Minghai touched the abalone pearl before, but abalone pearls were rare, only one in tens of thousands of abalone.
One pearl costs several thousand yuan. This is the first time she has ever heard of pearls growing in oysters. Could they be more profitable than abalone pearls?
