Upon hearing this, Old Man Fan raised his chin in a flash: "That's all thanks to me! I dragged you two along with him, and that's how we got what we have now!"
Fan Dali laughed and said, "Dad, alright, alright. Although what we did was not very ethical, I have to admit that you made the right choice."
Old Fan chuckled smugly.
He'd never had any face in front of his son in his entire life, but today he'd actually put on a good show.
Fan Xiaozhu said, "Brother, Dad did something wrong, so you paid for it on his behalf."
When Old Man Fan heard this, he felt a little uneasy, as if his second son had spoken for him but also seemed not to have spoken at all.
You second brother, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Just as he was about to curse, he heard Fan Dali shake his head and say, "Originally, I also felt that we and Wu An were even."
"Seeing such a large catch, we could remind them to get a certificate, but we would never be able to repay such a huge favor."
Old Man Fan got anxious: "If you can't pay this back, what else do you want?"
"Help that kid find the thief who stole the fish trap?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about it. I'm worried about being retaliated against just for being a witness. If you help find that person, you're definitely going to be retaliated against."
Fan Xiaozhu fell silent.
Fan Dali said, "Dad, the traps behind us all yielded similar results. Do you think our daily income can equal what we did in a long time before?"
Old Fan looked at the catch that had been poured out of the fish trap: whelks, mantis shrimps, flower crabs, tiger prawns, and small lobsters.
There wasn't a single small fish.
That's quite normal; when there are plenty of shrimp and crabs, there are usually fewer fish.
It's worth mentioning that none of the fish traps that have been salvaged so far are empty.
It's easy to imagine that the remaining fish traps will also yield a considerable harvest.
He tried to say, "A month?"
The Fan brothers, look over here.
Old Man Fan coughed once: "Three months..."
The Fan brothers stared intently; if they weren't on the ship, they might have believed it.
Old Fan lowered his head: "Alright, alright, that's about half a year's worth of harvest."
Fan Dali said, "It's at least equivalent to half a year's worth of our earnings!"
"From the time the cages were put in until now, it's only been a day at most."
"We've had too much luck, and we owe people a huge favor!"
Old Fan moved his lips, but he was too embarrassed to say anything in rebuttal.
Okay, okay, you're right!
His son has grown up, so he, as the father, has to listen to his son.
Beside him, Fan Xiaozhu nodded vigorously.
Old Fan shook his head and said, "Fine, fine, do whatever you want. I'm too old to control you anymore."
Fan Dali didn't argue with his father and said, "Let's get to work first. There are still so many traps to collect. Let's try to get back before dark."
The father and his two sons worked with increasing enthusiasm.
The fish traps that were retrieved later did not disappoint them; all the systems were activated, which exhausted them.
They hurriedly sorted and packed, and even as darkness fell, they were still not finished.
Keep working with the lights on.
"Brother, I've estimated that our harvest from this trip with the earth dragons is worth at least seventy or eighty thousand."
"Then you might be wrong. I estimate it will be a little over 100,000."
"That's a six-figure sum, a six-figure income in a day? No... that's impossible, isn't it?"
The three of them were responsible for working on the boat, and their annual income was only around 100,000 yuan.
When divided among each person, the annual income would be around 40,000 to 50,000.
After working hard for many years, he had little money left, only a boat.
In fact, they are already much better off than most ordinary workers.
Wu An, with his extraordinary abilities, earns five to six figures, or even seven figures, whenever he goes overseas; he's an exception.
Having gotten a bit of luck, these ordinary people were so surprised they didn't know what to do.
Fan Dali smiled and said, "Impossible. The catch is already on the boat."
"Good heavens, if this is how it is every day, we can easily reach the pinnacle of life and marry a rich and beautiful woman." Fan Xiaozhu, who was usually not talkative, was greatly stimulated and became more talkative.
"Dad, then you don't have to worry anymore." He chuckled and continued, "Now that we're rich, we'll get you another wife."
Old Fan, who was navigating the boat, was overjoyed when he heard this. There were some things he had never dared to think about before, but now he dared to.
Fan Dali turned around and looked at the cliff island that was getting farther and farther away and gradually disappearing into the night.
This is a place with excellent feng shui.
The debt of gratitude he owed was growing larger and larger. While Fan Dali was happy, he couldn't help but worry about how he should repay it.
"Brother, don't you want to leave either? If it weren't for the weather changing tomorrow, I really wouldn't want to leave either. I wish I could stay here." Fan Xiaozhu asked with a smile.
Fan Dali took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress his greed, saying, "We won't come here until we get Wu An's consent."
Fan Xiaozhu: "Huh?"
When Old Man Fan heard this, his hand trembled slightly. If Wu An disagreed, would he just be able to watch helplessly?
Are you crazy?
Fan Dali patted Fan Xiaozhu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, can you listen to your brother?"
Fan Xiaozhu nodded.
"Then you keep an eye on the old man for me."
"good."
"Don't worry, I have a plan. At worst, we brothers will follow Wu An from now on."
"Are they willing to do this?"
"It all depends on human effort."
Once his phone had a signal, Fan Dali immediately contacted Yu Kailang and told him everything he knew.
Yu Kailang was even more frustrated after hearing this, because there were no useful clues.
Back at the dock.
Thanks to their catch, the Fan family father and son made a name for themselves, and Fan Dali inquired around.
Today, apart from the father and son, no one else sold this many mantis shrimps.
Fan Dali was somewhat disappointed; it seemed the person who stole the fish traps was probably selling their catch to a distant place.
Fan Xiaozhu asked, "Brother, how is it?"
Fan Dali shook his head.
Fan Xiaozhu comforted him, "Brother, it's normal that we're not very bright, so we can't find the answer."
Fan Dali rolled his eyes. If you can't speak properly, you don't have to.
He called Wu An, but the latter did not answer.
Fan Dali was afraid of bothering Wu An, so he thought for a moment and edited a text message to send it over. He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to invite Wu An for a drink.
...
On the other side.
Wu An is already drinking at home.
Before I even got back to the dock, and as soon as my phone got a signal, the bank sent me a message saying the money had been deposited into my account.
Wow, you become a millionaire without even realizing it.
He immediately called Mei Wu and invited him to his house for drinks.
Mei Wu readily agreed.
He also knew that drinking was secondary; the main purpose was to split the money.
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with him, since he was just helping out on the ship.
Wu An promised to give him 1,000 yuan a day, plus bonuses depending on the situation.
He knew that Wu An would not treat him unfairly.
He had never been a fisherman before, and he was rather clumsy. In the past two days on the boat, he actually did a lot of physical work.
I can give him ten thousand yuan or so.
Mei Wu couldn't help but cheer with joy just thinking about it, and pedaled his bicycle very fast.
