Old Fu called Aqing, and Aqing was so happy to learn that they could go out to sea the next day that she jumped right out of bed.
He drank quite a bit of alcohol at noon and has been sleeping all afternoon.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible headache, but when I heard the good news that we could go out to sea the next day, I felt like I was on steroids. My headache and headache disappeared.
The two agreed to meet at the pier.
Old Fu arrived at the dock and said with a smile, "The wind has subsided a lot; we can definitely go out to sea tomorrow."
"Great!" Aqing excitedly pumped her fist. "Then let's not stand there any longer, let's hurry to the gas station."
If Wu An hadn't already said that he would set sail at six o'clock sharp tomorrow morning, he would have loved to fill up the tank and head out to sea right now.
The two boarded the ship.
We headed straight to the gas station.
Old Fu used to be the one who came here to refuel; he knew the way very well.
It was already past nine o'clock at night, but the gas station was still brightly lit.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a good day, so it's normal for many people to be out at sea and for a lot of people to come to refuel.
Even though gas stations can refuel multiple fishing boats, there are still long queues right now.
"Aqing, what are you doing?"
When Old Fu saw A Qing take out a cigarette, he quickly called out to her.
Aqing chuckled: "Old Fu, what's the rush?"
"I'm not stupid, I know you can't smoke here."
"I just feel bored, so I need to have something in my mouth."
Old Fu shook his head and greeted the gas station attendant, "Ah Liang."
"Hurry up."
"I'm going to fill up 15 tons of heavy fuel oil today."
The busy staff member nodded expressionlessly, then yawned and turned back to continue working.
I was still thinking about crickets in my mind. Damn it, those rich bastards, they fill up so much gas and aren't they afraid of losing money?
For the staff, tonight is destined to be a busy night.
He usually doesn't have much gas, so he can sneak back home at night to get some sleep. But today he's been so busy he hasn't even had dinner yet.
He was cursing in his heart when he heard someone call him "brother." He turned around and saw it was that simpleton, Ah Qing.
"Brother Liang, so you work here." Aqing waved and greeted him.
Luo Liang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I've heard that you're doing quite well with that kid Wu An now."
"This is the boat that Wu Anxin just bought."
"It's actually not bad."
Ah Qing said smugly, "He bought it."
"A 25-meter trawler, this is the first one our village has ever made."
"My brother said he wants to buy an even bigger one in the future."
Luo Liang's eyes darted around, and his smile widened: "Impressive, impressive."
"Aqing, come here, I have something to tell you."
Aqing responded and was about to disembark.
Old Fu grabbed him and asked, "Aqing, what's this?"
Aqing said, "He is my cousin, from my uncle's family."
"There are so many people ahead of us. I'll talk to him and ask if we can cut in line. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Old Fu suddenly realized what was happening and didn't say anything.
Aqing disembarked.
Luo Liang pulled him aside and said, "Aqing, didn't Wu An come with you on this 'Keep it up' project?"
Aqing shook her head.
Luo Liang glanced at Old Fu and lowered his voice: "So, who's in charge of cheering today, the old man or you?"
Aqing held her head high and said, "Of course it's me."
Luo Liang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that makes things easier."
"I'll let you cut in line later and cheer you on first."
“When the time comes, I’ll add 14 tons and give you a bill for 15 tons. Just tell Wu An that I added 15 tons.”
“4,000 per ton, we’ll split it 50/50.”
Upon hearing this, Aqing's eyes widened.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Liang continued, "Don't worry, as long as I don't say anything and you don't say anything, no one will find out about this."
“I could have kept this from you and done it on my own.”
"I'm not trying to get rich with you just because you're my brother."
Ah Qing, panting heavily, said, "Enough, Luo Liang, I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
"We have nothing more to say to each other."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Luo Liang grabbed him and whispered, "Aqing, wait a minute."
"Don't be foolish. As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass."
“Look how much money Wu An has made, while you, following him, are destined to be just a wage earner for the rest of your life.”
"Anyway, it's Wu An's money that's being swindled, so why are you feeling sorry for him?"
"Don't worry, this isn't my first time doing this. I'm very experienced and I guarantee I won't get caught."
Aqing flung his hand away and said through gritted teeth, "He's my brother!"
"Closer than you!"
"Stop babbling. I can't understand a word you're saying."
"..." Luo Liang's face darkened, and he said in a sinister tone, "Luo Qing, don't push your luck!"
"Asleep, I was right, you really are Wu An's dog."
"That's really loyal."
Aqing sneered, "Shut up."
"I paid for the gas today, and you're still trying to talk nonsense with me."
"I'm warning you, don't try anything funny."
"If your boss found out you were doing this kind of thing, would he still let you work here?"
Luo Liang immediately lost his composure and cursed, "Holy shit!"
"You're such an idiot."
"What kind of fuel do you put on Wu An's fishing boat?"
No wonder Ah Qing reacted so strongly to his suggestion; it turns out he'd found the right person.
Aqing snorted and ignored him.
Luo Liang cursed, "That bastard Wu An has a good plan."
"No wonder he can make so much money."
"No way, that scoundrel dared to cheat that guy surnamed Luo. I'll have to have a talk to him later."
Aqing turned around: "Luo Liang, who are you cursing?"
Luo Liang replied instinctively, "Who else could I possibly insult? Of course, it's Wu An..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
He saw a dark figure pounce on him and knock him to the ground. Before he could react, fists rained down on him.
It's Aqing.
As Aqing hit him, she shouted, "I'll teach you to insult my brother!"
"I'll teach you to curse."
"I'll tolerate your insults."
"You can't just scold him!"
At this time.
Another person ran out of the gas station, saw Luo Liang being beaten, kicked A Qing aside, and shouted, "A Liang, what happened? Who is this? Why are they hitting you?"
"Brother, that's A-Qing." Luo Liang covered his bleeding nose and cried out, "Brother, this idiot hit me for Wu An."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Aqing pounced on him again.
Luo You stopped A Qing, and Luo Liang quickly explained what had happened. After listening, Luo You glared at A Qing and shouted, "A Qing, stop making trouble. A Liang is right. We are family."
"Why are you standing up for Wu An?"
"Look how badly you beat Ah Liang. Considering you're his younger brother, we'll just settle this with a compensation of ten or twenty thousand."
Aqing started cursing.
Luo You slapped him across the face: "You've got some nerve. You've forgotten the beatings you got when you were a kid, haven't you?"
"Ah Liang, hold him down."
Everyone says that.
The ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the fearless.
Ah Qing really stayed with you, but he was too small, so the two brothers still pinned him to the ground and beat him.
Seeing that things were not going well, Old Fu quickly ran off the boat and tried to break up the fight, but he couldn't move him at all. Helpless, he could only wait for Luo You to push him, and then he lay down on the ground and shouted that he couldn't take it anymore.
Luo You and Luo Liang pinned A Qing to the ground and beat her mercilessly, not caring if they hurt her badly. But seeing Old Fu lying on the ground groaning in pain, they were quite frightened.
These days, it's common knowledge that old men extort money from people.
Once it gets stuck, there's no way it'll be okay.
The two brothers argued that Aqing had started it. They got up, ran into the gas station, changed their clothes, and then rode their bikes away into the night.
