Wu An finished eating several large steamed buns.
He let out a burp.
That feels good.
High-level game, huh?
If you're going to play, you have to play this kind of game.
At worst, he'll remember it too, and then show it off to Gu Anran, which will improve their relationship and unlock more "privileges".
After finishing the steamed buns, Wu An drank a large bowl of freshly squeezed soy milk and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bring them here anymore."
"If I'm going home for breakfast, I'll let you know in advance."
"If the villagers saw this, they would say I'm being unreasonable."
He originally planned to just grab something quick for breakfast or go to town for breakfast.
There was some commotion today too.
The most important thing is to transfer ownership of the fishing boat first.
If it hadn't been so late yesterday, he would have gone yesterday, lest things get complicated.
After we've taken care of this, we'll check the time and then decide whether or not to go to sea.
While washing up, he checked his luck score, which was 35 points.
Not too much, not too little.
With a little effort and some work, you can basically consume most of it without even going to sea.
The main problem is that the fishing season hasn't opened yet.
The time to truly shine will come when the sea opens; by then, just setting up fish traps will likely consume a significant amount of his luck.
With a luck value of around 30, you'll probably be struggling.
Not to mention that once he makes money in the future, he'll upgrade from a slingshot to a cannon, and with the added luck of a trawler, his fortune will definitely be astronomical.
Just thinking about it makes him inexplicably excited.
Mei Yueqin nodded to indicate that she understood. The reason she came to deliver breakfast was actually to see if Wu An had done anything out of line yesterday.
If she does it, she'll have to find a way to make amends.
Mei Yueqin tidied up the food box and asked, "Besides eating and drinking yesterday, did you make any progress with that girl?"
"I think that girl is really interested in you. What are you really thinking?"
"Let me tell you, you can't keep your options open while looking for something better."
"Not only will you harm other girls, but you might also ruin your reputation."
After thinking for a moment, Wu An realized there was nothing to hide and said, "An Ran and I are now in a relationship."
Mei Yueqin's face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, "I knew it, there must be something going on when you two are having dinner together."
“Miss Anran, she is a wonderful person. Now that you two have confirmed your relationship, your sister-in-law will have someone inquire about her family situation another day.”
"If there are no problems, let Dad find a matchmaker to talk to them."
That's how it is in rural areas.
It's not enough for two people to just like each other. Many good marriages are ruined by a lot of inquiries and gossip. If someone deliberately tries to sabotage things or spreads rumors, it's hard for a good thing not to fall through.
Regardless of what others think, Wu An was quite disgusted, but since his sister-in-law was saying this for his own good, he couldn't say anything harsh. He said, "Sister-in-law, Anran and I have only just started dating. We haven't even started a serious relationship yet. Marriage is still a long way off."
"And I'm not even twenty-two yet, while Anran isn't even twenty yet."
"Even if you asked us to get married right now, we couldn't; the law doesn't allow it."
Mei Yueqin nodded: "That's true."
"This is something that can't be rushed."
Seeing that his sister-in-law was persuaded, Wu An pressed on, saying, "Don't ask around. I'll find out slowly."
"Once you have a good understanding of the situation, everything will fall into place naturally."
In fact.
He knew Gu Anran's situation all too well.
He said this mainly to dispel his sister-in-law's idea, as he always felt that inquiring about other people's families was a form of invading their privacy.
Even though it's the custom in the village, he still felt it was inappropriate.
Seeing his sister-in-law nod, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief.
My sister-in-law is a very honest person. Since she promised not to ask around, she definitely won't go back on her word.
After seeing his sister-in-law off, Aqing arrived shortly after: "Brother, take me to the county with you today."
Wu An asked, "What's the matter?"
Aqing scratched his head: "I want to buy some clothes for my mom. I think she hasn't bought any new clothes in years."
Wu An was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Alright, you've reminded me."
"Let's finish our business and then go shopping together."
Aqing grinned.
The two rode their motorcycle tricycle straight to the town, abandoned the vehicle there, and didn't dare drive into the county.
When they reached the intersection, Guang Liangjun was already there.
They didn't even give me a heads-up.
The bus arrived shortly after.
They went straight to the fisheries administration department.
The procedures were not complicated, and the transfer of ownership was completed quickly.
After receiving the permits, Wu An breathed a sigh of relief. After several twists and turns, he finally got his hands on the fishing boat.
This isn't over yet.
He bought the fishing boat and also inherited the compensation money for its destruction.
in other words.
The compensation money from Lin Hu is to be given to him.
Guang Liangjun and Lin Hu agreed to compensate each other based on the cost of repairing or replacing the engine.
Because the incident happened suddenly, and they were all detained in the police station, it was impossible to determine the specific value of repairing or replacing the engine, so the money was not paid on the spot.
Besides, it wouldn't be of any use; at most, it would only amount to a few thousand yuan in compensation, which wouldn't even be enough to pay off Lao Tan's debts.
He was truly desperate and had no choice but to quickly sell the fishing boat to Wu An so that Wu An could seek compensation from Lin Hu.
In Guang Liangjun's opinion, Lin Hu would at most pay a compensation of ten thousand yuan, and it was uncertain when he would receive the money.
He didn't say much.
This was like secretly planting a time bomb for Wu An, and they were even hoping that Lin Hu would renege on his debt and not pay.
Little did he know that Wu An had already dug a huge pit for Lin Hu.
After completing the formalities, the three of them went straight to the bank.
Wu An withdrew all his money and gave Guang Liangjun 36,000 yuan. Wu An had less than 10,000 yuan left in his hand.
We don't have much money left.
It doesn't matter.
He currently holds a significant amount of external debt, including Chen Long's and Lin Hu's, which could allow him to recover a substantial amount of losses.
Wu An led A Qing straight to the largest shopping mall in the county. The mall is now basically the same as it will be in the future.
With a wide variety of brands on display, the two first went to the men's wardrobe, Heilan Home.
After leaving Heilan Home, we went up another floor, which was entirely dedicated to selling women's clothing.
After having lunch at the mall, the two of them were carrying so many bags that they could barely keep up with them.
Spending money is great, and spending money all the time is even better.
Spending money on family members, in particular, doubles the happiness.
After boarding the bus back to town, it was midday and there weren't many people on the bus. Wu An found a seat towards the back, took out the money from his pocket, and carefully counted it. He had twenty-four yuan and eighty cents left.
It's like going back to square one.
Compared to himself a month ago, aside from small things like repairing the old house and buying home appliances, he now owns three properties in the town's central village and a fishing boat.
Most importantly, he changed the trajectory of his life. He was no longer a burden to his family, but instead was able to help his family and his brother and sister-in-law, and even improved his previously terrible father-son relationship.
The harvest was considerable.
And this is just the beginning.
Seeing Wu An lost in thought while holding some loose change, Aqing asked, "Brother, what's so special about this little bit of change?"
"You...you're not out of money, are you?"
Wu An nodded: "My expenses have been a bit high lately."
"When we get back to town, we'll find a place to pump out some water to replenish our health."
"Oh, by the way, if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Long's compensation should arrive in my account today."
As expected, an unexpected event still occurred.
