Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Yiwen laughed: "Of course, I am very satisfied! It's just that Director Wang is more eager for quick success and instant benefits. He thinks that real money is the most cost-effective, easy to convert into money, and has a high return on investment!"

"As for those antiques, many of them are Western styles. They will definitely be popular among Westerners and can be sold for a lot of money. Now I am working on repairing the collection and looking for opportunities to sell them to foreigners when the time is right."

Liu Meilan blinked her eyes: "Why sell it? Can't we collect these Western antiques?"

Liu Yiwen replied: "It's not that we can't collect it, but maybe because of our aesthetic and cultural differences, what Westerners think is beautiful may not be beautiful to us."

"It's pointless to keep these things that you don't like! You can sell them or keep them for cultural exchange. Anyway, even if these things are not valuable here, they should be valuable abroad, so it's worth collecting them."

"There are collection halls in the houses I built. I will put all these things in there. I will take them out slowly. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the prices can be higher."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you think this is a good idea, then do it! In fact, you can decide these things by yourself, why did you call me to come over?"

Liu Yiwen took a document and placed it in front of Liu Meilan: "Sign it, and the money can be transferred to your personal account!"

Liu Meilan took the document, looked at it carefully, and signed it only after she found there was no problem.

After all, more money can be made by fishing for treasure. This time, just dividing the gold and silver amounted to more than 2 million, which is indeed a lot less than last time.

However, this amount of money is already an astronomical figure for others.

Liu Meilan hasn’t figured out how to use the money yet, so she’ll just put it aside for now.

After finishing his work, Liu Yiwen asked softly, "Meilan, is there still a possibility between you and Fu Chen?"

"Yes, how is it impossible?" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Fu Chen is now more filial to his grandfather than you, his grandson! He is trying hard, I can't back down!"

"Meilan, don't you feel wronged?" Liu Yiwen felt bad for his sister, but there were some things he could only give suggestions and not interfere too much.

Liu Meilan shook her head: "I can't say I feel wronged, but I definitely feel a little upset. But this is not because of Fu Chen, but because of the Fu family."

"Meilan, have you ever thought about breaking up with Fu Chen? You're such a good girl, there must be someone who likes you." Liu Yiwen thought about it and felt that his sister shouldn't be kept hanging by the Fu family and suffer losses.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Brother, love is about two people being attracted to each other; in marriage, it's more about the two families weighing the pros and cons. So what if it's someone else? For a family like ours, the person we're looking for must be extraordinary. It will be the same for others, and nothing will change in essence."

"This..." Liu Yiwen felt distressed, "You just see things too clearly!"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes, so I am more cautious. Second brother, don't worry, I will not let myself be wronged, nor will I let myself be sad and immersed in self-denial. I am strong inside, like the sea, able to accommodate everything, and of course, I can also abandon those emotions that make me regress."

Liu Yiwen scratched his head and laughed at himself: "I am a mess in my relationship, but I still want to guide you. It seems that I am overestimating my own abilities."

"How could that be?" Liu Meilan smiled sweetly, her eyes bright. "Second brother, you care about me and worry that I will suffer losses and be wronged. I am not a fool, I can feel your good intentions. You are good to me, I know, second brother. If you have anything to say in the future, tell me, I love to hear it."

Liu Yiwen felt a little sour in his nose, this is the god’s biological sister!

When he got into trouble, his sister scolded him a lot, but she also really helped him!

As an older brother, he has no successful emotional experience, but he truly wants his sister to be happy.

"If I make a mistake, you should scold me as hard as you can. Don't save your energy." Liu Yiwen smiled.

Liu Meilan glared at her second brother and said, "Just don't make mistakes, okay? Minor mistakes are fine, but mistakes of principle are not so easy to forgive. Our father has ignored you until now. Isn't that a deep enough lesson?"

"Deeply, very deeply." Liu Yiwen nodded quickly, "Meilan, I won't go back now. I will go back on the weekends. Even if Dad ignores me, I will go back to visit him."

"You're right to think so." Liu Meilan chuckled, "He's our father, he protects us from the wind and rain, and he's under a lot of pressure! He's also our elder, so it's normal for him to discipline us."

"Yes!" Liu Yiwen nodded, "I know, let's have lunch together?"

"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded. "Don't bother. Let's eat in the cafeteria. I'm too sleepy. I need to go back and rest. By the way, when can you sell your house?"

"Yuan Dan, what? Do you want to buy a house?" Liu Yiwen asked.

Liu Meilan shook her head: "I don't buy a house, but people in our company want to buy one. They have a stable income and can get a loan. The sooner you buy, the sooner you can earn."

Liu Yiwen chuckled: "That's right! Okay, if you want to buy a house, sign up in advance, pay first, and choose a house. Of course, the price is affordable, not more expensive than selling it to outsiders."

"Thank you, second brother!" Liu Meilan thanked. She hoped that all the employees below could be prosperous and safe. If they worked with her when they were young, they could not only make money, but also accumulate considerable wealth.

When they are old, this wealth can enable them to have a quality retirement life.

Liu Meilan went straight back to the staff quarters. She was so sleepy that after washing up, she hid in her room to sleep.

Professor Xie and Linghua were just preparing to eat when Liu Meilan woke up from bed.

"What?" Professor Xie was startled and looked at his daughter, whose hair was a little messy and eyes were sleepy. "Meilan, you're here? Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

Liu Meilan waved her hand: "Mom, you guys eat first, I'm not hungry now."

After combing her hair again, Liu Meilan waited until her mother finished her meal and said to her cousin, "Linghua, wash the dishes. I have something to tell my mother."

"Okay!" Linghua worked quickly and didn't feel wronged at all. She felt that her cousin treated her as her own and that was why she was so rude in ordering her around.

Besides, she has the most free time in the family.

Her mother called her and told her that her second aunt was busy with work and she should do some housework within her ability.

Linghua saw how busy Professor Xie was and felt very sorry for her. She put herself in the shoes of her aunt and mother and often helped with cleaning.

Liu Meilan made tea for Professor Xie: "Mom, have some tea."

Seeing his daughter so serious, Professor Xie felt uneasy: "Meilan, what happened? A big deal? A bad thing?"

"It's not ours." Liu Meilan replied, "The thing is, my employee Wu Yong, his wife Xiaofang... her behavior of not being able to distinguish right from wrong, is it considered a mental illness?"

Professor Xie looked serious. "Well, since Wu Yong doesn't know how to solve the problem, bring her to the hospital. I'll introduce a better psychologist, one with real skills. Through some psychological counseling or psychological suggestion, Xiaofang's condition can be alleviated."

"Will this have any negative impact on Xiaofang?" Liu Meilan asked. After all, it costs money, and it seems that psychologists are very expensive, so she has to ask clearly.

Professor Xie replied: "It won't get any worse than it is now. First of all, there is something wrong with her cognition. We must change her cognition from the most fundamental point. She grew up in an atmosphere that favors boys over girls, and she has forgotten herself."

"Especially when the parents want their daughter to fill the gap for their son, they will use all kinds of words to control her and make her do things that go against common sense. Many things we find incredible, but in her opinion, that's how it should be done."

"Whether it works or not, bring it here to see first! Wu Yong's income should be enough! If it doesn't work, you can advance your salary. If it can improve the situation, it will mean a lifetime of family harmony."

Although Liu Meilan does not want to interfere too much in the personal lives of her employees, Wu Yong has now become an indispensable person on the ship.

Now that I have a child, if I cannot handle the affairs at home, I will have to go out to sea for two or three days each time, or even longer. The unrest at home will definitely affect my work.

After getting the psychologist's information from Professor Xie, Liu Meilan returned to the island the next day.

When Liu Meilan decided to go find Wu Yong in person, she was stopped by Old Man Liu.

"Meilan, Wu Yong is your employee. It's normal for you to care about him. But there are some things that employees don't want their boss to get involved too much. This will cause them a great psychological burden."

Liu Meilan was stunned: "Is that so?"

Fu Chen nodded and agreed: "Yes! Just like my soldiers, when they encounter difficulties, they rarely ask me for help. I will ask the deputy company commander or political commissar to help them."

"You are not the only one in your company. If Xiao Yu is very busy, you can find someone who is also a boatman. Sister Chen is warm, generous and cheerful, and she is very insightful. I think you can ask her to go and talk to Wu Yong."

"As long as they are not directly connected to you, there is still room for employees to maneuver and they don't have so much psychological burden."

Liu Meilan thought about this for a moment and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. OK, I'll go find Sister Chen!"

Mrs. Chen was making fish balls. When she saw Liu Meilan coming over, she was quite surprised: "Meilan, aren't you tired after going out to sea?"

Liu Meilan took out a business card from her pocket and said, "I found out about this from my mom. He's a very good psychologist. Although he's a bit expensive, he's very capable."

"Besides Xiaoyu, I am most familiar with you, Sister Chen, and we have the best relationship. I would like to ask you to give this business card to Wu Yong when you are free this afternoon. I hope he can take Xiaofang to have a look."

Mrs. Chen washed her hands, took the business card and looked at it. "We discussed this issue last time on the boat. OK! Make the fish balls here and I'll send some over to them."

"Don't worry, I will definitely persuade Xiaofang to go to the hospital with Wu Yong. Shuyuan is in school, and I'm free at home, so I can help Wu Yong take care of the child."

Liu Meilan nodded: "Sister Chen, thank you! Originally I should have gone, but my grandfather said it's not appropriate for me to go, and it will put psychological pressure on Wu Yong."

"This matter is indeed inconvenient for you." Sister Chen shook her head, "Leave it to me. Besides, I usually interact with Wu Yong and Xiao Fang quite often, so I can still talk to them."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan was relieved, and when she left, Mrs. Chen insisted on giving her some fish balls.

After lunch, Chen Shuyuan went to school.

Mrs. Chen packed a bag of fish balls and bought two bags of pineapple beans for the children.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Wu Yong's house, I heard quarreling, smashing sounds, and a child crying in fear.

Mrs. Chen knocked on the door hard: "Wu Yong, Xiao Fang! Open the door quickly, the child is scared! If you don't open the door, I will call the police!"

Wu Yong's angry face became like a deflated ball after hearing what Mrs. Chen said, all his energy and spirit gone.

"Yang Xiaofang, we loved each other very much before. I dreamed of you in the army, and you were very happy when I returned. I finally saved enough money for the betrothal gift and took you home. You were so happy that you wiped your tears and said you could finally leave that home!

"After we got married, we moved to the south, where life was better. We also had a son, so you won't be stressed whether the second child is a boy or a girl. I would rather you buy food and daily necessities for yourself or the child, and I won't complain."

"But what about now? What did you do? You gave all the money to your brother to pay off his gambling debts. That's the money we used to buy a house. The house prices are rising so fast now. Buying now will ensure that we can make money in the future. Even if I have an accident while at sea in the future, with a house, our son can live well."

"But you clearly promised me that you would not pay off your brother's gambling debts. I gave you living expenses. Why did you go to the company and make a scene to demand my salary? Do you know that I work hard outside? How can I have a good impression in front of my boss?"

When Yang Xiaofang heard Wu Yong's accusation, she was nervous because she had never seen despair in Wu Yong's eyes, but she thought of her parents calling her and threatening to kill themselves.

Although she knew that she had to jump out of the fire pit at home and escape from that home, her parents' pleading made it impossible for her to remain indifferent.

"But that's my brother, born with so much hardship by my parents. I can't watch my brother die, nor can I watch my parents die. Wu Yong, just give me another 20,000 yuan. Next time, I won't give you anything."

"Calm down, you've scared the child." Mrs. Chen went over, picked up the crying child, and coaxed him gently.

Wu Yong wanted to say more, but when he saw the child’s face turned red from crying, he felt so distressed that he stopped talking.

"Sister Chen, please help me persuade Wu Yong to help my brother and my parents again." Yang Xiaofang saw Sister Chen coming and thought that Sister Chen would speak for her.

"Xiaofang, you're disturbing the child." Mrs. Chen felt the child in her arms trembling with fear. "Calm down now and don't say anything. Wait until I coax the child back to health, and then we can talk properly."

Yang Xiaofang wanted to say more, but when she saw Wu Yong's cold eyes, she shrank her head.

It hasn't been long since she and Wu Yong have reached this point.

But she couldn't just watch her family die and do nothing.
