After the meal, the family sat under the shade of the pavilion, drinking tea, eating fruit, and chatting for a while.
Wu Ping, the older brother, was grading students' assignments, while his sister-in-law was applying a face mask in front of the mirror, and she also applied one to their father.
Wu An also failed to escape.
He felt that this was probably happiness.
Simple and stable.
After applying the face mask, Wu An noticed it was getting late, so he simply said goodbye and went back to his old house.
The old house area was pitch black.
The sound of waves crashing against the beach came from not far away, and a waning moon hung high in the sky. The scenery was not beautiful; rather, it was rather desolate.
Wu An wasn't that sentimental, but he still felt a bit lonely.
But he didn't want to stay at home either.
On the one hand, he has already moved out, and for some reason, he doesn't really want to go back to live there.
on the other hand.
The old house we live in isn't very soundproof.
It's better to stay in the old house.
Aside from being a little lonely, it's also peaceful and convenient to do whatever you want.
With a creak.
Open the door.
Turn on the light.
The first thing that catches the eye is a plate of cactus on the table. The cactus is not big; it's a piece that Gu Anran cut from her home.
Now it has grown into a very good-looking person.
It looks like several fingers stuck in the soil, and one of the larger ones has even blossomed.
The small flowers adorning the top of the stem are extremely cute.
Wu An looked at it, then suddenly grinned, sat down and looked at the cactus flower, no longer feeling lonely.
After watching the little flower for a while, I took a shower and washed up, then lay down and started planning for tomorrow.
Yesterday I made over 10,000 yuan from pumping water from the pit, and with the money I already had, I had a total of 20,000 yuan. But after eating at Mr. Qin's restaurant, spending money on membership cards, and today's purchases of camera equipment, I don't even have 10,000 yuan left.
There's a 40,000 yuan compensation owed by the Chen family outside; we definitely need to get that money back.
But in the short term, that's probably difficult.
He doesn't have time to argue with the Chen family right now; he needs to set sail and get familiar with the area as soon as possible so he won't be caught off guard once the fishing season opens.
And Lin Hu...
Now that the debt has been transferred to him, he has to figure out how much money he should ask for.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Then we need to know how much money Lin Hu has.
I'm not in a hurry.
In any case, he holds the initiative.
He plans to travel further tomorrow, as far as possible within a day's round trip, mainly to familiarize himself with the sea area.
His understanding of the sea was not entirely ignorant, but it was pitifully little.
Wu An pondered, feeling sleepy.
I quickly set the alarm, rolled over, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Wu An is sleeping soundly.
But some people just can't fall asleep.
That night, Wu An inevitably became the center of attention in the whole village. At such a young age, he had managed to buy a fishing boat on his own, which was truly remarkable.
What's even more remarkable is that Wu An was a despised scoundrel before. They say a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, so how come this prodigal son keeps bringing gold home after turning back?
It's late at night.
A furtive figure approached the dock.
"who?"
A furious shout came from where the fishing boats were moored. Two figures walked into the light and saw that it was Lin Hu. Wu Yingwei and Chen Gui's expressions were completely different.
Wu Yingwei, who had been drinking, had a flushed face and piercing eyes.
Chen Gui, however, wore a playful smile as he squinted at Lin Hu.
Lin Hu quickly explained, "I'm not here to cause trouble."
"I...I just can't sleep."
"Just taking a casual stroll."
Chen Gui scoffed, thinking it would be better not to explain at all.
Wu Yingwei said, "A'an installed cameras on the boat."
Lin Hu chuckled awkwardly: "Uncle Yingwei, what are you talking about? What does it have to do with me whether or not cameras are installed? I already know I was wrong."
Wu Yingwei said bluntly, "You had better know you're wrong, and not just know you're wrong, but also correct it."
Chen Gui suddenly reminded him, "The most important thing is not to forget to lose money."
“Now that A-An has bought the fishing boat, you have to pay A-An compensation.”
"Have you discussed the price?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu could no longer force a smile and quickly slipped away, saying, "Ah An is so busy every day, we haven't even had a chance to chat yet."
As he spoke, he started walking; if he weren't afraid of appearing too guilty, he would have run.
He truly felt wronged this time.
He's not stupid.
Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't just do it like this.
"Wu Yingwei actually came to guard the fishing boat. It's one thing if he does it, but why is that old bastard Chen Gui getting involved?"
After walking a distance, Lin Hu started grumbling and cursing in dissatisfaction.
"hateful."
"Pay back?"
"I'll pay you nothing!"
"I'm not going to lose a single penny."
...
Seeing Lin Hu flee in disarray, Wu Yingwei's face grew even uglier, while Chen Gui couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Lin Hu was still up to something, he felt relieved.
Wu Yingwei glanced at Chen Gui: "Why are you at the dock so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Chen Gui coughed and said, "I'll take over the patrol."
"..." Wu Yingwei didn't speak, but just looked at him with those straight eyes, saying only one thing: "Guess whether I believe you or not."
Chen Gui didn't dwell on the explanation. Believe it or not, he asked, "Why did you come to the dock? Are you worried that your son's fishing boat will be damaged, so you came to keep watch?"
Wu Yingwei said, "I just came to take a look."
He had drunk some wine, but wasn't drunk yet. He felt a burning sensation in his heart, so he decided to go for a walk. As he walked, he arrived at the dock and realized that he hadn't seen Wu An's fishing boat yet.
When they came over, they saw Chen Gui.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hu was seen.
It was quite a lively night.
Wu Yingwei was a little annoyed. He didn't understand why everyone was focusing on his second son, when A'an had already been keeping a low profile.
In terms of interpersonal skills, he is also much better than before.
To be fair, he felt that Wu An did a better job than him.
If people looked down on Wu An in the past, it was because Wu An was wrong. As his father, he had nothing to say and even had to bear the responsibility of "the father is to blame for not teaching his son well".
But now...
What do you all mean?
Are you bullying the good guys?
Wu Yingwei grew angrier the more he thought about it. Did they really treat him like a decoration?
He refused the cigarette Chen Gui offered and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
Chen Gui reluctantly put away his cigarette: "Let's go, let's go, we're leaving now, aren't you coming?"
Wu Yingwei said coldly, "I'm not at ease."
"You've given me a heads-up."
"I plan to stay here for a while."
Chen Gui was speechless after being rebuked. He thought to himself, "You might as well just say you're guarding against me," shook his head, and turned to leave.
Back home.
He closed the door.
Lock the windows.
He took out his phone and made the call.
"I'm going to the dock."
"Wu Yingwei discovered us before we even boarded the ship."
"Although I didn't get on the boat, I saw something covered by a plastic sheet next to the boat awning."
"It's hidden so well, it must be something you're hiding from someone."
"I guess it's the kind of fish trap or longline fishing you're talking about. Since you heard the boss say that Wu Anding is involved, then it's definitely him."
"Okay, okay, I know what to do."
"..."
Put down your phone.
Chen Gui sighed. Wu Yingwei was right to be wary of him.
