The payment for the catch was transferred directly to Gao Qiangqi's bank card; he didn't have that much cash on hand.
He called his father and asked Wu Yingwei to take 50,000 yuan from the safe to the dock.
The total amount from the sale of the fish was 26,000 for Aqing, and 1 each for Meiwu and Lao Futou.
Of the 15,000 for ambergris, Wu An took 10,000, and the remaining 5,000 was divided equally among A Qing and the other two.
After settling the accounts.
After everyone confirmed that everything was correct, the fishing boat docked at the village pier not long after.
Wu Yingwei and his elder brother Wu Ping both came.
Wu Yingwei said, "I'm worried about so much money, so I'm asking your brother to come along too."
Wu An nodded without saying anything more.
He took the money and counted it off in stacks.
Looking at it, Wu Ping asked, "Was the harvest this time so good?"
Aqing nodded.
Mei Wu said, "Brother-in-law, we've been at sea for two days now, and sometimes we're so busy that we don't even have time to eat."
"Why don't you come and help on the ship?"
"What's the point of teaching..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu An saw his elder brother's expression change, so he quickly straightened his face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"My elder brother is dedicated to teaching and nurturing students; that is the true calling."
"No matter how much we earn from fishing at sea, we shouldn't let our elder brother give up his career."
"Don't say things like that again."
Mei Wu: "..."
Haha... I went to get a haircut!
You were the one who asked me to find an opportunity to say those words, and now you're playing these tricks on me!
If my brother-in-law hadn't been here, I would have jumped up and kicked you!
Wu Ping waved his hand, still a little embarrassed: "What career or nothing."
"I'm so envious of how much money you guys make."
Wu Yingwei remained silent.
Actually, he didn't really agree with the eldest brother going to sea.
Even if Wu Ping doesn't earn much money from teaching, Wu An will definitely help him when he has money, and the family will live a good life.
These are things you can think about in your heart, but it's not good to say them out loud.
Separate accounts well.
Wu An had 13,000 yuan in cash left. After settling the costs with Old Fu, he didn't have much money left.
Actually, Wu An could settle accounts monthly.
This will give him a lot more liquid funds.
But he felt it was unnecessary.
He prefers that accounts be settled on the same day.
Everyone is clean and straightforward, so if we really part ways one day, there's no need for any fuss.
Finally, he instructed Old Fu to prepare more ice for tomorrow, so that he could feed the orcas.
He didn't know what orcas liked, so he asked Old Fu to prepare as much as possible.
Old Fu agreed, saying he would make a trip there soon to get things settled.
Wu An was too generous; even if he did more work, there was nothing to complain about.
...
Wu An originally planned to go straight back to his old house to rest, but his sister-in-law made soup.
It's still quite a hassle, but it's a very nourishing soup.
Wu Ping also called him back.
Back home.
My sister-in-law quickly brought out the soup bowl and said, "It should be just right to drink."
Wu An took a big gulp.
He frowned.
To be honest, it doesn't taste very good.
My sister-in-law asked, "How is it? Is it good?"
Wu An nodded: "It tastes good."
Upon hearing this, his sister-in-law turned and glared at Wu Ping: "Did you hear that?"
Wu Ping wore a bitter expression.
Wu An knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the situation, and asked, "What's going on?"
Mei Yueqin snorted and said, "A'an, it's so hot. I've been busy in the kitchen for ages, and your brother won't even take a second sip."
"And he keeps saying he's tired."
"You want me to be understanding of him? Shouldn't I be understanding of him?"
Wu Ping said, "But we can't do that every day...!"
"Ah An, you be the judge!"
Wu An was immediately at a loss.
These two in-laws really don't treat him like an outsider; he doesn't want to get involved in this.
He tactically picked up the bowl and took a sip, but felt something was missing.
Looking back.
Okay.
My dad was squatting at the doorway, smoking.
He's still too green. Look how clever his father is.
Seeing that Wu Ping was still complaining, Mei Yueqin said, "A'an, please give your fair opinion."
Wu An put down his bowl, thinking to himself that this trip was really not good. Wu Ping said that there was still a lot of Chinese medicine in it, and said, "Sister-in-law, I think this matter is your fault."
Haste makes waste.
"Now that we've found the cause, let's address it directly and take it slowly. We'll definitely see results."
"You've gone a bit too far."
Mei Yueqin was stunned, then stared wide-eyed and asked, "Me? My mistake? Did I do something wrong?"
Wu An nodded.
He didn't want to drink this soup either, so he had to stand on the same side as his older brother.
Mei Yueqin sighed, "Yes, you're right, I was wrong."
"I've gone too far."
"Why……"
"I was really wrong."
"I shouldn't have married your brother in the first place."
“If I hadn’t married your brother, I wouldn’t have had to take care of a twelve or thirteen-year-old brother-in-law right after I married into the family.”
"I wouldn't have to go to great lengths to make you delicious food and help you grow to your current height of 1.8 meters... I wouldn't have to..."
Wu An slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Wu Ping!"
"Wu Ping, what are you standing there for?"
Do you know how big a mistake you made?
"Apologize to my sister-in-law right now!"
Wu Ping was dumbfounded.
Wu An silently mourned for his elder brother for a second. There was nothing he could do; his sister-in-law's "tightening curse" was too strong.
The Wu family owes her a lot.
My father had the foresight to hide away early on.
at last.
He happily drank two bowls of soup and went back to the old house to rest.
Back at the old house, I quickly washed up and fell asleep soon after. I fell asleep quite quickly.
The next morning...
Wu An quickly washed the clothes. He had to admit, his sister-in-law's soup was quite something.
After a short delay, we hurried to the dock.
Just as I boarded the ship, Ah Jin called to say that everything was ready and they were just waiting for me to be released.
After chatting for a while, Ah Jin said, "The boss told him to take the high-speed train to another city for fun."
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "That's not enough. The key is your cousin's alibi."
"Make it easy to trace, let him go to some attractions that require real-name ticketing and play by swiping his ID card."
"Okay, I understand."
"You over here..."
“I’ll come personally; it’s safer if the other person knows about this.”
After chatting for a while, Wu An put down his phone, and A Qing brought him half a watermelon.
Wu An ate it with a spoon. Man proposes, God disposes; whether or not it will succeed depends on God's arrangement.
Old Fu asked, "Ah An, what's the schedule for today?"
Wu An said, "Let's go to Twin Islands first."
"After we put away the trap and wait for Tiger, let's run south."
There was no particular purpose; I hadn't been to the south before, so I just wanted to take a stroll and run around.
I'll say it again.
With enough luck, you can go anywhere in the ocean; you can't lose money by making a trip.
Old Fu adjusted the direction slightly, and the fishing boat headed straight for Twin Islands.
Good weather is not very common.
The weather forecast said the weather would change again in three days, saying that another typhoon was coming.
People just complained a little, but they got used to it.
Arriving at Twin Islands.
Raise the ground cage.
The results weren't great; like before, the main problem was stone crabs, and the yield of mantis shrimp was at least half of what it was last time.
There's not much potential left on Twin Islands for the time being.
The traps had just been removed, and the catch hadn't even been sorted yet, when the orca pod was already in sight in the distance.
Soon, an orca broke away from the group and came over; it was none other than Tiger.
