At first, everyone just praised Wu An, and Mei Yueqin listened with great pleasure, feeling extremely happy.
Something's not right now.
There are all sorts of opinions.
"Wu An is something else, he must be full of cunning."
"Terrible, terrifying."
"They've definitely gone to university; they're just different."
"It's not that I'm afraid of good people turning bad, it's that I'm afraid of bad people turning good. When a person turns good, their methods become even dirtier."
"If it was Wu An who plotted this, how could the Shen and Mao families possibly succeed?"
"So what if it's not over? Would they dare to cause trouble for Wu An?"
"Too."
Everyone shrank back in unison. They felt a chill run down their spines after saying just a few bad things and dared not say another word.
What if Wu An holds a grudge against them?
"Sister Yueqin, would you like something to drink? How about Beibingyang?"
"I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty. Hey, what are you doing? You only need to buy one bottle, why did you bring out a whole case?"
"Yes... I scolded Wu An when he was being naughty and even threw a brick at him. He can't hold a grudge against me, can he?"
"This...it shouldn't be."
"When he comes back from sea, you can put in a good word for me. Or how about this, when he comes back, I'll apologize to him."
"No need. Back then, when he was going astray, not to mention you, I scolded him countless times and even beat him up."
"Sister-in-law, please put in a good word for me."
"..."
Mei Yueqin really dared not stay any longer. This person bought drinks, that person bought food and drinks, and even if she rode her tricycle home, she might not be able to carry them all.
Moreover, she didn't dare to accept it.
There are quite a few people who are afraid of Wu An holding a grudge.
That's normal.
Previously, Wu An was a petty thief in the village, bullying anyone who was honest. He offended many people, and now everyone is afraid of his retaliation.
After Lao Jiang's promotion, coupled with the personal testimonies of Shen Fang, Mao Wang, and Chen Long, Wu An could now act with impunity in the village.
...
"Achoo, achoo..."
Wu An stood at the bow of the boat, but his act lasted no more than three seconds. Because of the bad weather and the cold sea breeze, he ducked back into the cabin.
Aqing asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
Wu An shook his head. It was definitely impossible for him to catch a cold. After more than a month of hard work, his body was strong enough to plow the fields all night.
He rubbed his neck, guessing that someone had been chirping at him.
Judging by the time, by the time Mao Wang returned to the village, things must have already gone wild.
Shen Fang didn't listen to him completely. She returned to the village and said nothing. The matter escalated because of word of mouth among the villagers, so he simply added fuel to the fire and burned himself.
They're just using someone else's name to intimidate others and make grand pronouncements.
I reckon the whole village probably knows by now that he orchestrated all of this.
He asked Lao Jiang to handle this matter, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Jiang Zemin is usually a reliable person when it comes to getting things done.
This was all thanks to Chen Long, whose words opened up new avenues of thought for him.
yes.
Anyway, there will always be people who suspect that he is behind all of this. Rather than being wronged and having to go through the trouble of explaining and proving his innocence, he might as well just admit it. If you say that I schemed against him, then so be it. What can you do about it? What do you dare to do?
Although it's a bad reputation, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Putting aside other things.
From now on, who in the village would dare to mess with him?
Before you cause him trouble, consider whether you're even a match for him.
If someone is bad enough, and claims to be a good person, who would dare say no?
"If Lao Jiang helps him become famous, not to mention others, Lin Hu will probably be scared half to death, hehehe." Wu An thought to himself and couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.
Chen Long refused to pay compensation; now you see what the consequences will be.
If you, Lin Hu, don't offer any compensation, then I ask you, aren't you panicking? Will you be able to sleep peacefully tonight?
Wu An crossed his hands behind his head, rested his head on them, leaned back, crossed his legs, and pondered these trivial matters in his mind when he heard A Qing call out, "Brother, we've arrived at the place where the cages are set up."
Wu An quickly got up.
While fish traps are good, they can also get snagged and stolen.
Longline fishing also has this problem, but fortunately it doesn't require overnight fishing, so the risk factor is relatively low.
Unlike fish traps, which are thrown into the sea and left unattended for a day and a night, if someone happens to pass by and steals them with malicious intent, that's fine.
There's no way to find out who stole it.
After all, seafood isn't marked, and as for fish traps, people just steal them and throw them into the sea, so there's no clue or evidence to be found.
Wu An and A Qing examined it carefully, muttering as they counted.
No problems were found.
After the fishing season opened, fishing boats generally don't approach these islands, and I haven't seen any other fishing boats coming to the islands to harvest seafood during this period.
He was worrying too much.
Old Mai saw that Wu An had set up the trap here and clicked his tongue in amazement: "I didn't expect this place to have such good resources."
"Do you also fish here with longlines?"
Wu An braced himself against the side of the boat and, noticing that the luck bonus on the fishing boat was still there, said, "Let's keep going."
Old Mai nodded and continued driving forward.
The weather was bad, and the waves were a bit rough, causing the fishing boats to rock violently.
The sea is dotted with islands.
Once you sail here, you'll see that most of the islands are uninhabited, and most of them are clearly very barren.
The islands vary in size, with jagged rocks and some vegetation, though not abundant.
"Brother, this island isn't small, but it's hard to get on. It's all big reefs, like cliffs," Aqing shouted, pointing to the large island not far away.
Wu An nodded: "Such a big island, with mountains and water, it would be nice to go up there and camp."
Aqing pouted: "Camping? That's just sleeping in the middle of nowhere. What's so great about that? It's not as comfortable as sleeping in your own bed."
Mai Hangyu shook his head and said, "Aqing, you're wrong about that. Camping is very comfortable."
Aqing still didn't believe it: "I think it's just asking for trouble."
Wu An laughed heartily.
Ah Qing is right.
Camping is all about enduring hardship. It's supposed to be about escaping the concrete jungle and enjoying nature, but when it comes to serious camping, most people are completely lost, getting themselves into a mess, not eating or sleeping well. The point is simply to have fun.
Old Mike asked, "Do you want to take a detour and find a place to get off at the island?"
Wu An shook his head: "No."
"I think this place is good, let's use it for longline fishing."
"After we finish longline fishing, let's find another place to fish."
They naturally didn't have the time for that. With a shout, they started fishing with the longline, and the three of them got busy. With the experience from last time, and with Wu An's help this time, the three of them set the longline in an orderly manner.
After setting up the longline, Wu An added 1 point of luck to the fishing boat. A little further away from the longline, he noticed that the boat's luck points were instantly depleted, so he told Lao Mai to stop the boat and fish.
When it was time to go fishing, Old Mai was surprisingly quick and agile, not like an old man at all. He was the first to pack up his fishing gear and cast his line.
