Chapter 54: Going to Taobao
Wang Dahu thought for a moment and said, "Gold and silver tableware with unique patterns are very cheap there. Gems, diamonds, and even a kind of wine. The most expensive thing is a box of glass cups."
The corner of Ye Mingzhu's mouth twitched. He remembered that Liuli was glass, and he thought that Liuli cup was a glass cup or something like that. He didn't expect it to be the most valuable.
Ye Mingzhu thought to herself that these things might be expensive, but they were not gold or silver and could not be spent directly. Most of them needed to be converted into cash.
If I salvage these things, where can I sell them for cash? Or should I let my uncle sell them?
Wang Dahu quickly waved his hand: "Mingzhu, that sea area is very dangerous, you can't take the risk."
It turned out that Ye Mingzhu had already muttered aloud just now.
She simply asked, "Uncle, if we fish those things out, will your boss make things difficult for you if he finds out?"
Wang Dahu frowned and shook his head: "Mingzhu, listen to your uncle. We won't go to get those things. No matter how much money we have, we still have to live to spend it."
"Since our boat sank, several groups of people have gone down to salvage it, but not only did they not salvage anything, several people even lost their lives. We waited at sea for four or five days, and only left when we had no other options."
No matter how good or valuable something is, once you lose your life, you lose everything. Your sister is already gone, and Wang Dahu dare not let Ye Mingzhu take the risk.
"Uncle, I just want to ask, if someone fishes those things out, will your master come to take them?" Ye Mingzhu asked persistently without any panic on her face.
Wang Dahu sighed.
"After fishing for so many days, the boss has given up hope. According to the rules, whoever fishes these things out owns them, but the boss has the right of first refusal."
Ye Mingzhu nodded. It seemed that her uncle's boss was quite sensible.
"Uncle, how far is the shipwreck from here?"
Wang Dahu was silent, pursed his lips, and just looked at Ye Mingzhu steadily.
Ye Mingzhu knew that her uncle meant well, but she had a cheat!
"Uncle, I grew up by the sea. Grandpa once said that I have the greatest talent for pearl hunting among all the grandchildren in the Ye family. I can go to the sea to hunt for pearls for longer than even my third uncle, and I've always had good luck. I want to give it a try."
"Now it's just Yun'an and I at home. As the older sister, I must raise him. Hongyu said Yun'an has a talent for martial arts. He'll need money to buy weapons and become a disciple, so I have to prepare it for him in advance."
Ye Yun'an waved her hand: "Sister, I don't want to learn martial arts."
Ye Mingzhu turned around and glared at him: "Yun'an, you don't believe your sister."
Ye Yun'an walked to Ye Mingzhu and said, "I believe in my sister, but I don't want to lose her."
Ye Mingzhu held her breath, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Uncle, why don't we go take a look first? If the weather is bad, or we can't go to the sea, we can come back. We can call Third Uncle with you two. With you two here, I will definitely not act rashly."
Wang Dahu pondered. He didn't want to agree, but Ye Mingzhu was right. He had to prepare money for Yun'an in advance. He couldn't go to sea, so he could only farm or find a job in town.
Now with Jiang Hongyu's guidance, if the family has more money, Ye Yun'an will definitely not have to worry about his future.
But he really didn't want to exchange his niece's life for his nephew's future.
"Uncle, did those people who lost their lives die while checking on the sea?" Ye Mingzhu suddenly asked.
"Of course not." Wang Dahu answered subconsciously: "They didn't come up when they went down to the sea to check."
"That's it," Ye Mingzhu said with a smile, "Let's go there and take a look, and then decide whether to go into the sea or not."
"Besides, it's fine if the place is close. If it's too far away, it will be inconvenient for us to go there."
It is not a good idea to borrow someone else's boat when going treasure hunting. It is best to drive the Ye family's own boat.
"It's not far. Starting from Yuanshan Village, it will take about an hour to get there. It's near Triangle Cliff."
Ye Mingzhu knew that place. The original owner and Uncle Ye had gone there to collect pearls last year.
There is a triangular reef in the sea with fast-flowing water. There are many pearl oysters nearby. Every time we collect pearls from there, there are always a lot of pearls in the oysters.
The original owner went there to collect pearl oysters for the last time and almost didn't get out. The original owner initially refused to go there to collect pearls. Uncle Ye was afraid that something might happen to Ye Mingzhu, and seeing that the pearls collected from other places were not good either, he agreed.
The original owner was afraid because holding his breath was unlucky, but Ye Mingzhu had a cheat, so he was not afraid. Even if he encountered big waves, it didn't matter. At most, he could just store the waves in space.
"Uncle, let's go talk to Third Uncle and divide the things we fish up equally among the three of us." Ye Mingzhu couldn't wait any longer. She had a hunch that there must be good stuff on the bottom of the sea.
Wang Dahu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he could fish it out or not, he started talking about profit sharing. But seeing Mingzhu's smiling face, he didn't want to discourage her anymore, thinking that Uncle Ye could persuade her, at worst she would not go down the Triangle Cliff when she knew the danger.
"Let's go see your mother-in-law first, and then see your third uncle." Wang Dahu stood up. "It's getting late now, so it's better to talk about things as soon as possible."
Ye Yun'an's face was full of worry. Wang Dahu was holding something in his hand. Ye Mingzhu took two steps back and touched his head.
"Yun'an, I'm not doing this just for you. Now that we have money at home, I'm more confident. Besides, when you become capable in the future, you have to support me. If you believe in me, I won't go to sea if there's any danger."
Ye Yun'an pursed his lips, his eyes red, and nodded after a while. He swore in his heart that he must work hard and support his sister in the future.
Wang Dahu went to Jiang's house with something in his hand. Aunt Jiang was drying herbs at that time. When she heard that he was Ye Mingzhu's uncle, she looked a little surprised.
She knew that Jiang Hongyu went out for something else, but Wang Dahu came right after Jiang Hongyu left. It was such a coincidence.
Aunt Jiang was surprised, with regret on her face: "Hongyu just left, and I didn't expect you to come back. Stay at home for a few days this time. You are Mingzhu's uncle, and we are all family."
Wang Dahu smiled, but shook his head: "I'm working in the master's shop now. I can only stay here for one day. I have to leave tomorrow."
Aunt Jiang felt relieved, and her expression became more sincere. "Oh, what a coincidence! You must stay at home tonight. Mingzhu and Yun'an will definitely miss you."
Wang Dahu nodded and said that he would stay with Ye Yun'an tonight to accompany his nephew.
Ye Mingzhu watched the two talking and thought that Aunt Jiang was a wonderful person. She knew that Jiang Hongyu had gone out for other things, but the expression on her face was so genuine.
Aunt Jiang and Wang Dahu talked for a few more words, and then Wang Dahu stood up and said he wanted to go see Uncle Ye. Aunt Jiang told him to come back for dinner.
Ye Yun'an, who was originally going to go with them, stayed behind because he was the only one who knew how to cook among the people left behind!
