Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 443: All businessmen are dishonest

Two days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the afternoon before we were about to go out to sea.

Because the vacation was over, although Qin An Ning also wanted to go out to sea with Fu Wan and the others, he had to say goodbye to everyone and go back to the camp to work.

But this time she didn't go back alone. Qin Mingzhu and Fu Ling also went to the camp with her.

Just yesterday, Qin Anning completed Qin Mingzhu's enrollment as quickly as possible. The two children carried the military green schoolbags that Ye Xiaocui had made in advance and happily became first-grade students.

There was no concept of preschool at that time. After spending an afternoon in school, Fu Ling fell in love with the environment of the camp.

Although Qin Mingzhu is not talkative, she has good adaptability. Fu Wan secretly watched from outside the classroom and saw that both children were very attentive during the class.

Because Fu Wan and her friends were going out to sea this afternoon, she discussed with the two children when she sent them to school early in the morning and asked them to stay at Qin An Ning's place tonight, and Fu Wan would pick them up tomorrow afternoon.

Qin Mingzhu naturally had no objection. Fu Ling hesitated for two seconds and agreed. She also liked Qin Anning, her sweet aunt.

So after sending the two children and Qin An Ning to camp that morning, Fu Wan immediately went to buy bait for the sea trip. It had been a while since they had been out at sea, and Fu Wan and the others were even a little excited.

"Awan, should we bring crab cages and bamboo tubes with us this time?"

Ye Lin picked up a few prepared hand-cast nets and turned to ask Fu Wan.

"Bring them along. It's the end of October now, and there are plenty of fat crabs with shells on!"

Fu Wan was busy cutting the sardines into pieces. There were baits to deal with on both sides, so now that she could cut them and get back on the boat without any effort.

The men were moving the fishing nets and other things onto the boat. Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui were not idle either. One went to the vegetable garden to pick a basket of vegetables and washed them, while the other cooked a large pot of rice in the rice cooker.

Going out to sea this afternoon meant they wouldn't be back at the dock until tomorrow morning, so unless anything unexpected happened, they would have to have dinner on the boat.

Before, when going out to sea, they always ate noodles, but they got tired of it. It was also tiring to pull the handles and cast the net, so Ye Xiaocui thought of preparing some rice so that those who wanted to eat rice could eat, and those who wanted to eat noodles could cook noodles.

The weather is cold, and it’s best to eat something hot on the boat.

Soon, all the preparations before going out to sea were completed. Just as everyone was carrying the last basket of fish out, they unexpectedly saw Village Chief Fu.

"Hey, are you going out to sea?"

Village chief Fu had a delicious roast duck meal at home last night. Liu Sanniang was also happy and let him drink some wine, so when he came over now, his smile never stopped.

"Yes, Village Chief, what's the matter?"

Fu Wan put down the bucket of bait in her hand, stopped and asked the old village chief Fu.

"It's okay, I just want to tell you that the day before yesterday your father told me about the sea area contract, maybe it will work out.

If you really want to take on the contract, be prepared. I've also inquired about it, and the initial contracting fee shouldn't be much, but there's a condition: no damage to the marine environment."

Fu Wan nodded, "Of course. Village Chief, don't worry, our family is always ready."

Knowing that they would not let him down, Village Chief Fu smiled and said, "That's good. It's getting late, you should hurry out to sea!

Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the pier to see what's going on."

Fu Wan was helpless. Why did everyone like to stand at the dock and watch other people's harvest? Wasn't it uncomfortable to be so jealous?

Little did she know that her fellow villagers wanted to enjoy the sight of the fish even though they couldn't catch them themselves.

Although there were many envious people, everyone was also convinced, especially those who followed Fu Wan to catch a lot of octopuses using bamboo tube traps, and they praised Fu Wan even more.

As the chains were untied and thick smoke from the diesel engine rose, Fu Wan and her family successfully left the dock.

It’s no wonder that after looking at the alleys and courtyards of the capital for several days, Fu Wan still missed the endless blue sea.

Fu Ming is also the one driving the boat now. Originally, Boss Fu was at the helm, but Fu Ming hadn't touched the rudder for several days and just stood there refusing to leave.

Boss Fu had no choice but to let him drive, while he followed Fu Liang, Ye Lin and the other two to organize the trawl net.

There are few creatures on the seabed in the waters near the pier because ships pass by every day.

So this place is not suitable for trawling. Boss Fu stood on the deck, and the boat was heading towards Swallow's Nest Island.

Because it was still early and there were still two or three hours before dark.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan wanted to go to the island to take a look. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and it had been windy and rainy for two days. Maybe there would be some different surprises on the island.

As for fishing with casting nets, the nights are long and night is when sea fish like to appear the most.

"Awan, I haven't asked you yet, how much did you sell that piece of red coral for last time?"

Looking at the vast ocean, Boss Fu recalled the last time his family went out to sea, and then he remembered the red coral that the Yangtze River Porpoise gave to Fu Wan.

He was so busy these past two days that he forgot to ask Fu Wan about this.

Fu Wan did not hide anything about her father.

"It was sold for over three million."

"Take the young master?!"

Boss Fu could hardly believe his ears. Seeing that his daughter didn't seem to be lying to him, he pinched his thigh hard, unable to believe it.

"Hey, I told you, that thing is definitely expensive!

By the way, is that coral?"

Fu Wan nodded and gave him a thumbs up to praise him.

"Dad has a sharp eye. This thing is really red coral. Uncle Jin said it's top-grade oxblood red coral."

Boss Fu was so excited. Three million, he had never seen so much money even when he was a ghost in his previous life.

But Fu Wan was also puzzled. How could her father recognize that the thing was made of red coral?

Boss Fu cleared up her doubts, "When I was young, I worked as a handyman on a ship, and a diver picked up this thing.

It’s not as big as yours, but the color is similar.”

However, the red coral was eventually taken away by their employer, who was only given a bonus of ten dollars.

Even so, ten oceans made fellow divers extremely envious.

So Boss Fu engraved the appearance of this thing into his bones, and when Fu Wan held the stone in her hand, he blurted it out.

However, he was not sure at that time, so he asked Fu Wan to take it to the capital to show others.

Now knowing that this thing was exchanged for more than three million, Boss Fu was not only happy, but also a little sad.

Back then, they thought ten taels of silver was already a lot of money, but now it seems that the employer might have embezzled a lot of money.

After listening to Boss Fu's story, Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that all businessmen are dishonest.

At this moment, Ye Lin and Fu Liang's shouts were heard.

"We've arrived at Bird's Nest Island, we're getting ready to disembark!"
