He ran out quickly and was surprised to find that it was his wife.

daughter in law!

But no matter how loudly he shouted, the other party couldn't hear him. Instead, he was talking to a man with a sad expression.

He knew the man, it was Yan Yi who had given his wife a ride before.

Just when he wanted to go over to listen to what the two of them were saying, he suddenly saw Yan Yi put his arms around his wife.

Let her go! Pei Yang rushed over like an angry lion, yelling and roaring at Yan Yi, swinging his fists left and right, trying to push Yan Yi away, but to no avail.

He could only watch his wife leaning in the other's arms, sobbing and crying. He heard Yan Yi whispering to comfort his wife: Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will take care of you and your child in the future.

Get out of here! My wife doesn't need you to take care of her!

Pei Yang was so angry that he punched desperately, but every punch he threw went straight through Yan Yi's body and did not cause any harm or threat to Yan Yi.

dad!

Suddenly, he heard his son's voice.

He turned around in surprise and saw his son running towards him with his short legs.

He happily opened his arms and prepared to hug his son.

However, his son went straight through his body, ran to Yan Yi, hugged Yan Yi's legs, tilted his pretty little face and called Yan Yi "Dad".

Pei Yang was so angry that he was stunned.

He was like a headless fly, circling Yan Yi, chattering and cursing, but Yan Yi was not affected at all. He hugged his wife and son on both sides, looked at his portrait, and said with a smile: Thank you for giving me such a good wife and son, I will take good care of them, rest in peace.

I bought a watch last year! Pei Yang was furious and woke up in anger.

The crew members who were guarding him saw him suddenly open his eyes, which were bloodshot and as angry as a wild beast, and they were frightened.

"Captain Pei, you, you had a nightmare?"

Pei Yang stared at the crew for a long time and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, it was just a nightmare, not real.

But the feeling of weakness that made his eyes go dark made him clearly realize that if no rescue came, everything in his dream might become true.

He will die, and his daughter-in-law and son will become other people.

"Have you contacted the rescue team?" he asked hoarsely.

The crew shook their heads in frustration.

Pei Yang closed his eyes, suppressing the dizziness caused by weakness and fever, and asked, "How much food and water are left?"

"Not much left. The deputy captain has reduced everyone's portion to the minimum, and it's barely enough for one more day. Besides..."

The crew looked at him with sadness in their eyes, "The medicine on the ship has run out."

Hearing this, Pei Yang felt that the scene in front of his eyes became even darker.

His life depended on the few emergency medicines on board. Now that he had run out of medicine and could not be rescued, his life was in countdown.

“Ahem!”

Pei Yang, overwhelmed with grief, couldn't help but cough violently.

The crew brought him some water, a fist-sized porcelain cup, with the water just covering the bottom of the cup.

But even a sip of water is extremely precious in the current situation.

Pei Yang tilted his neck back and drank all the water at the bottom of the cup before handing the cup back to the crew member.

After staring at the endless blue sea outside the porthole for an unknown amount of time, Pei Yang licked his cracked lips, turned around, and asked the crew member who was taking care of him to get him paper and pen.

Perhaps sensing what he was going to do, the crew member's eyes suddenly turned red, but the extreme lack of water prevented them from even shedding tears. They could only look for paper and pen in sadness and despair.

Fortunately, he injured his left hand, so it did not affect his writing with his right hand.

Pei Yang thought to himself with self-mockery as he was helped by the crew to sit up from the bed.

He was too weak. His strong body, which usually allowed him to easily carry over 100 kilograms of cargo, now couldn't even hold a thin pen.

He used all his strength, trembling, and wrote on the paper stroke by stroke: Mingzhu, I feel like I am meeting you in person, and I am happy to see your letter. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can meet sooner...

"Ms. Shen, this is the 5,000 yuan cash loan you applied for. Please keep it safe. I have already specified the repayment date and method on the contract. You just need to repay it on time according to the contract. If you need an extension, please contact me one month in advance."

"Thank you so much, Director He!"

Shen Mingzhu put five bundles of brand new banknotes and the loan contract into her bag. After expressing her sincere gratitude to the commissioner, she hesitated and asked the questions in her mind.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Director He, I would like to ask, is your bank's loan policy so lenient for self-employed individuals?"

Director He smiled slightly, "Of course not."

"Then why did you approve the loan directly to me?"

"It's Miss Zhong. Miss Zhong is a Black Gold Card VIP of our bank. With her guarantee, you can borrow not only 5,000 yuan, but also 50,000 or 100,000 yuan."

The confusion that had been lingering in Shen Mingzhu's mind for many days was answered, but other confusions arose.

She and Zhong Qing don’t even know each other, so why would the other party help her?

Even if Zhong Qing had ulterior motives, the other party didn't even tell her, and acted completely nonchalant, as if it was just a casual act and not worth mentioning.

Shen Mingzhu is not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. If she can't figure something out, she will just give up.

Anyway, the money has been received and the contract also states a two-year usage period, so she doesn't need to worry about the other party using the loan to trick her.

With the funds in hand, the next step is to find a venue.

During this period, Shen Mingzhu traveled to many places and looked at several good locations, and she was just about to finalize one.

Two days later, after many inspections and negotiations, Shen Mingzhu rented an abandoned canteen for an annual rent of fifteen hundred yuan.

The total area of ​​the canteen is about 300 square meters. It has a ready-made kitchen, boiler stove, and storage room, which are exactly what her workshop needs. Therefore, even though its rent is 200 to 300 yuan more expensive than other venues, she insisted on choosing this place.

After renting the venue, you still need to clean it and find someone to do the water and electricity renovation, renovate the walls, install waterproofing and fire prevention facilities, etc.

On the third day after renting the venue, Shen Chaobei and his wife moved in with their family.

Shen Mingzhu had rented a one-bedroom apartment for the couple in a tube-shaped building a few hundred meters away from the canteen as a place to stay.

Both of them were diligent and efficient people. They cleaned their new residence in half a day and had a hot pot meal in their new residence that night.

After dinner, Shen Chaobei cleaned up the dishes, Pei Ziheng and Daya read and played respectively, while Shen Mingzhu chatted with Du Juan about the workshop.

As they were chatting, Du Juan stood up and took out a flowered bag from her canvas bag.

When the bag was opened, there were several thick bundles of banknotes inside, including old one-yuan, two-yuan, and five-yuan bills, as well as new ten-yuan bills.

Du Juan put a bag of money in front of Shen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, this is all the savings that Chaobei and I have saved this year, a total of 1,200 yuan, which is Chaobei and I's investment capital."

Shen Mingzhu looked at the money, her face full of surprise.
