Chapter 070 Inviting you to join the Zhao Family Fleet
Zhao Tiezhu did not come empty-handed either.
He was carrying a small piece of pork.
Zhang Ximin and the others followed behind Zhao Tiezhu, each of them not empty-handed, but that was just not empty-handed.
Someone was holding a jar of shrimp sauce, and one person carried two crabs.
Lin Wanxia took a general look at them one by one and understood that this was the real Zhao Family Army.
Either they were surnamed Zhao or they were relatives of the surname Zhao.
Zhang Ximin noticed Lin Wanxia's gaze and put his hands behind his back uncomfortably.
He arrived at Zhao Tiezhu's house late and only grabbed two strings of dried garlic from his own home.
In fact, when they arrived at Zhao's house, they all carried real chicken, duck, fish and other things.
Because they all followed Zhao Tiezhu, and they didn't know where Lin Wanxia's door was, so the Zhao family went to Zhao Tiezhu's house first.
They all knew that Zhao Tiezhu was a narrow-minded person. If they went directly to Lin Wanxia's house without telling him, he would definitely be angry afterwards.
But they really didn't expect Zhao Tiezhu to be so narrow-minded.
He asked everyone to put the chickens, ducks, fish and meat they brought at his house, and then took some things from everyone.
At the beginning, the reason he found was "Lin Wanxia's husband is not at home, what can a woman like her smoke? Leave the cigarettes to me, and take these two apples." Later, he didn't even give a reason, and asked everyone to put down the gifts for him, and picked up some things from the house for everyone to take.
As for Zhao Tiezhu himself, he picked out the smallest piece of meat from all the gifts, the one with the lowest total value and brought it over.
Of course, Lin Wanxia didn't know this, and she wasn't interested in knowing.
She took out the key, unlocked the door, patted Xingxing's head and asked Xingxing to go into the room first, then turned back and asked Zhao Tiezhu, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"
Although Zhao Tiezhu is much older than her, people from the same village can always be related to each other, so they are judged by seniority rather than age.
"I heard that you were in trouble this time at sea. I led the fleet, so I should bring them here to say thank you." Zhao Tiezhu held the meat in front of Lin Wanxia, and didn't even mention going into the house to sit down.
The young girl and her husband were not at home, so any sensible person would not enter the house.
Lin Wanxia did not answer, "We are all from the same village, no need to be so polite. My boat broke down, so I wanted to follow Chen Bin to broaden my horizons on the sea. This is purely an accident."
"It's not an accident! Just like your boat, my boat suddenly leaked on the sea. I asked the boat repairman to come and see it, and the boat repairman told me that it was a spearfish that pierced it. Do you think it's funny?" Zhao Tiezhu laughed exaggeratedly.
The people behind him also laughed awkwardly.
Lin Wanxia curled her lips symbolically, "Who said it wasn't? You said I was just fishing at the doorstep of my house, and I didn't provoke anyone, but someone chased me to the shore and broke my boat. This person is really wicked and smoking. I curse that black smoke will come out of his grave, that he can't make money when he is alive, that his children are unfilial, and that no one will bury him when he dies..."
"Enough!" Zhao Tiezhu interrupted Lin Wanxia angrily, then realized that he had overreacted, and forced a smile, "What I mean is, it's not good for a young girl like you to swear like that. Whoever broke the boat should curse it!"
Anyway, it wasn't his.
"Well... and one more thing. I came here today. First, to thank you. Second, I sincerely want to invite you to join our Zhao family fleet."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
She declined: "But I don't have a boat now!"
"I sincerely invite you to join our Zhao family fleet. We are from the same village. You helped me this time and brought these fishing boats back safely for me. I have to thank you no matter what. Things like this meat are nothing. I will give you another big gift. I will waive your management fee for one year." Zhao Tiezhu raised his fleshy index finger to show his sincerity, "What do you think?"
Doesn't he understand what people are saying? Lin Wanxia complained in her heart and had to emphasize again, "Brother Zhao, how can I go out to sea with the fleet if I don't have a boat? How about you move one to me first?"
Zhao Tiezhu: "..."
He said embarrassedly, "You are teasing me, Brother Zhao. How can I give you the only boat I have?"
Lin Wanxia spread her hands, "Then I will let Brother Zhao down for your kindness."
Zhao Tiezhu was still unwilling to give up and tried to ask, "Don't you plan to buy a boat?"
He also thought about it for a long time before coming up with this idea.
After all, Lin Wanxia didn't ask the fishermen for money, so he had no excuse to deal with her.
Last time, he was able to secretly steal her boat, but this time, he didn't even have a boat and didn't know how to start.
After thinking about it, the only way was to get Lin Wanxia into his own fleet, so that he could deal with her whenever he wanted.
If she was really capable, it would be fine if she caught fish for him every time.
"Even if we buy it, it will be next year. It's going to be the freezing period soon and it's not suitable to go out to sea. Besides, you know my boyfriend is a soldier, and I have to spend the New Year with him at his family compound. I'm afraid if I buy another boat and put it in the port, it will be sunk." Lin Wanxia said sincerely.
If they really wanted to fall out and fight face to face, Lin Wanxia was not afraid. The problem was that Zhao Tiezhu was really a mean person who would stab him in the back.
There are thieves who can do something for a thousand days, but there are no thieves who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Zhao Tiezhu felt a little regretful. If he had known this day would come, he would not have sunk Lin Wanxia's boat.
It was too early.
Seeing that they could not continue the conversation, Zhao Tiezhu exchanged a few more words with Lin Wanxia, put his hands behind his back, and left with his people.
They also took away the gifts they were carrying.
Except for Zhao Tiezhu who put his hands behind his back and walked with his head held high, the rest of the Zhao family members hung their heads, and some even covered their faces with one hand, fearing that passers-by would see their faces.
How damn embarrassing!
You should thank me, but you took away such a small amount? ! Those
who knew would think that he came to thank her, while those who didn’t would think that Zhao Tiezhu brought people to scare the girl.
To Lin Wanxia, Zhao Tiezhu was not threatening, but teasing her. He
probably thought she was young and easy to please, and giving her a carrot would be like asking her to be a donkey pulling a millstone.
It’s a pity that Zhao Tiezhu was too young compared to the capitalist bosses of the new century. He was too petty even when he was drawing big cakes, and he couldn’t satisfy her ambition.
***
Arriving at Zhao Tiezhu's house, Zhang Xilai couldn't help but throw two bunches of garlic on the ground, "Uncle, aren't we going too far?"
Zhao Tiezhu raised his eyebrows, "Too much? How is it too much? I personally went to her house and waived her one year's management fee. Isn't that sincere enough?"
Zhao Gangzhu nodded, "That's right! Whose management fee have you waived over the years?"
Zhang Xilai: "..."
He wanted to say that with Lin Wanxia's ability, there was no need for her to join the Zhao family fleet.
Even if she wanted to join a fleet, she could just join Chen Bin's fleet.
But he knew his uncle's character very well, so he really didn't dare to tell such big truths.
"Brother, you see, all the ships have run this year. While everyone is here, why don't we divide the money so that everyone can have a good new year?" Zhao Gangzhu asked with a grin and rubbing his hands.
Others also looked at Zhao Tiezhu eagerly.
They had also paid management fees, but Zhao Tiezhu said that he would return it to them at the end of the year.
Zhao Tiezhu raised his eyebrows and glared at him, "Money, money, you only know how to ask for money! Have I been lacking you all these years?" He turned around and pointed at everyone with his index finger in the air, "Do you all treat me as a bank?"
