Ah Qing jumped up and down and waved from behind, but there were too many people for him to squeeze through.
Wu An told everyone to go about their business and not to join in the fun, as there was nothing exciting to see. He told everyone to disperse, and then A Qing came over, followed by Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin.
Li Juan also came.
Only after seeing Wu An did the group feel relieved.
Aqing immediately gave Wu An a hug and exclaimed, "Brother, let me tell you, when I found out, I was almost scared to tears."
“I was thinking, if they’re going to arrest someone, they should arrest me too, so we can keep each other company.”
Wu An patted him on the back.
Then push him away.
Mei Yueqin said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
"Let's go, let's go home first."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"I guess he didn't eat it."
"There's food in the pot at home."
"Ah Ping, why don't you run home quickly..."
Wu An quickly interrupted his sister-in-law and stopped Wu Ping from running away, saying, "Sister-in-law, I came out in the middle of the night yesterday. I had a meal and drinks with Brother Qiang and the others last night. I drank quite a lot and slept at Brother Qiang's place."
"I eat until my belly is round when I wake up in the morning."
"Let's take it slow."
"Let the villagers see me, so they won't spread rumors anymore."
Li Juan did not follow.
He had heard that Wu An had been arrested, and he was very worried. So he came with A Qing to check on him. Since Wu An was alright, he was relieved.
After talking with Wu An, she went home first.
This means that she came to the dock simply out of concern, not because Wu An hadn't yet split the profits with A Qing and she specifically came to ask for money.
Although Wu An wouldn't think that way, she still had to avoid suspicion.
He recounted the events of yesterday along the way.
Back home.
Wu Yingwei has also returned.
Wu An was distributing the money. Mai Hangyu had been paid yesterday. He took out the receipt and the money and said, "Aqing, Aunt Juan, take a look at the receipt."
"This is 5300 yuan."
"Take a look."
Aqing shoved the money into her pocket and said she didn't want the bill.
Wu An told him to take it.
After all, Aqing didn't come with us this time. If Li Juan goes back to ask about the order and finds that he didn't give it to Aqing, Li Juan might overthink it.
Wu An felt that perhaps he was overthinking it.
Anyway, it wasn't much trouble. The form was a photocopy, and if Li Juan hadn't mentioned it, Aqing would have just tossed it aside.
"Wait a minute." Mei Yueqin was quite sensitive to money and said in surprise, "Aqing got more than five thousand, so you must have earned forty or fifty thousand on this trip?"
Wu Ping and Wu Yingwei were drinking tea when they both turned to look at Wu An.
Wu An smiled and nodded: "Yes, we're so lucky."
"It was Ah Qing who discovered the abalone on the island. As you know, abalone live in groups, so when we went to the sea, wow, it was full of abalone."
"We arrested a lot of them."
Aqing embellished the story by describing how they pried open the abalone. Upon learning that the two had gone into the sea, Mei Yueqin whispered, "May the Goddess Mazu bless us."
Wu Ping, looking delighted, said, "You guys are truly skilled and daring."
Wu Yingwei also smiled.
Naturally, the father was happy that his son was making so much money.
He felt that money doesn't just fall from the sky, and since he was making so much money, he was willing to take some risks.
Earning so much money is definitely worth it.
Don't say you'd rather die than make money. Who can earn that much money and resist the urge to go into business?
It's no exaggeration to say that...
Let others know that they're fighting tooth and nail for it.
Wu Yingwei said, "Great, we broke even on the first trip, and every subsequent voyage will be profitable."
Wu An nodded with a smile.
He told Aqing to go home and put the money away safely.
Don't rush home. Take a stroll around the village first, and hopefully you'll "bump into" Shen Nan. Then, take a candid photo or a picture with Shen Nan.
As long as you can get the photos, you can do whatever you want.
As for whether Shen Nan will overthink it.
Who cares?
Think what you want.
If Shen Nan and Chen Gui really cause trouble together, then Shen Nan should be worried about whether he will be discovered and whether he will be retaliated against.
The initiative is now in his hands.
Whispering to Aqing, after Aqing left, Wu Ping said, "This matter of being reported..."
Wu An interrupted him, saying, "Brother, it's very difficult to find out who reported this."
“I asked the law enforcement officers, and they said there are regulations to protect whistleblowers, even if it’s a misunderstanding.”
Wu Ping asked, "So, we'll just leave it at that?"
Wu An shrugged: "I don't want to just let it go like this either."
"But there's nothing we can do about it."
"There are no barriers to reporting this. You can just call the fishery administration to report it. Anyone can do it, so there's no way to investigate it."
Wu Ping said indignantly, "It's too frustrating to just let it go like this!"
Mei Yueqin chimed in, "Yes, that's utterly despicable."
"Don't let us know. If we do, I'll block the door and yell at him for ten days or half a month!"
Wu Yingwei remained silent.
He was looking down, smoking, his eyes narrowed, seemingly deep in thought.
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin were still talking about this matter when they got to Chen Gui. Not only did Wu An remember it, but the two of them also remembered it.
It's said that Chen Gui had been leading debt collectors and gossiping about things several times before. This time was also quite unusual; he kept going to the dock. Maybe it was him who reported him.
Wu An nodded in agreement, saying that their analysis made sense.
Wu Yingwei suddenly said, "I think your suspicions are very valid."
"Chen Gui is highly suspicious."
"Ah An, what are you planning to do?"
Wu An shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, and we don't have any evidence. Even if we go to his door to argue, Chen Gui definitely won't admit it."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingwei and the other two were also in a dilemma.
To put it bluntly, the combined cunning of these three people probably doesn't even match that of Wu An alone.
and.
These three people... are all good people.
As they chatted, it was almost time for dinner. Mei Yueqin went to the kitchen to cook. Since they had run out of drinks, Wu An suggested they go to the convenience store to buy some.
Wu Ping was eager to buy it.
Wu An refused, saying that he needed to show his face in the village more often now.
Go out.
He happened to run into Old Meng, and greeted him as Uncle Meng. Old Meng asked, "Are you alright?"
Wu An nodded.
Old Meng said, "It's probably related to that guy Chen Gui."
"People in the village are already talking about it."
Wu An nodded again.
Seeing that everyone thought the same way, he felt relieved.
People in the village can gossip about him, so they can certainly gossip about Chen Gui. Chen Gui doesn't have a very good reputation in the village, so there are bound to be many people who would like to embellish what they say.
He said, "Uncle, you're not an outsider, can you do me a favor?"
Old Meng looked around: "What kind of help?"
"Help me spread the word about Chen Gui reporting me for this."
“Okay, that’s simple.” Old Meng thought for a moment and said, “Your move is good, but Chen Gui is no ordinary person. This move may not work on him.”
Wu An smiled.
Whether it's useful or not, let's use it first.
When he arrived at the shop, he greeted the villagers along the way. Now everyone knows that he was arrested as a result of being maliciously reported and suffered a great injustice.
Everyone was asking him who did it.
Wu An said he didn't know anything about it.
Some people offered their analysis, saying it was Chen Gui who did it, and others saying it was Lin Hu.
Some people said that those who didn't get along with him were making accusations without any evidence. Wu An said that it's not good to make baseless accusations without evidence.
The whole scene had a sense of the emperor being more anxious than the eunuch.
Wu An, the person involved, said, "I want to take revenge, but I don't know who it is. Others are very anxious. Let me analyze it for you. I think it's him. You should take revenge on him."
Wu An even spoke up for him, saying it probably wasn't him, and it's hard to investigate without evidence.
They all seemed to be chatting idly, not doing any work, but the fact that he, the victim, didn't know who the murderer was had already deeply resonated with people.
If anything happens to Chen Gui later, it won't be his responsibility.
You're saying it was my revenge?
In all honesty, someone falsely accused you of being the one who reported me, and I even spoke up for you. How can you say that I'm retaliating against you?
At that time, he can argue his case based on reason!
We walked and stopped frequently, and it took us more than twenty minutes to reach the convenience store.
Wu An was about to leave with a case of beer when Lao Jiang stopped him and whispered mysteriously that he had something to say.
It's said to be about Chen Gui.
