When Fu Chen heard this, Li Anna's appearance flashed through his mind. "I really didn't underestimate her. I knew Li Anna was very willful and capricious before, but who would have thought she could do such a thing! The Chen family and the Dong family were almost ruined by her!"

"Even if she hasn't collapsed yet, she's seriously injured! She still hasn't recovered!" Liu Meilan lamented. "The fact that Yang Wenwen can now go to where my third brother works is enough to prove that she is determined to get him. Such a scheming woman, every sign shows that she is also very paranoid. I'm really worried that she is another Li Anna."

Fu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "How about I call home and ask the Fu family to put pressure on the Yang family?"

Liu Meilan waved her hand, "No need! This is my third brother's personal matter. If he can't even resolve this, how can he be competent for important tasks in the future? A career in politics is actually more dangerous than business. My third brother is so handsome and capable. Yang Wenwen is not the first, nor the last!"

"This is my third brother's first test in his official career. If he can't pass this, then forget about pursuing a career in the government. You're not smart enough and will only bring disaster to the family. It's better for him to come back and do business! Or become a teacher in a school. At least it's stable and won't bring disaster."

Fu Chen smiled. "Seeing you so serious and saying such things reminds me of Grandpa. If you can't even handle relationships between men and women well, can't control your desires, and can't exercise restraint, how can you avoid the pitfalls of your official career?"

This is true in fact. Many men fail not because of their lack of ability, but because of chaotic relationships between men and women.

Once it is discovered that a family member is not restrained in matters concerning men and women, family resources will be taken away.

Therefore, any ambitious man in the Fu family would not fool around outside even if his relationship with his wife had grown distant.

She would provide financial support to her third brother, but she would not do more.

If I solve everything for him, how can he gain experience?

"I think you're doing the right thing. Relationships and corruption are the easiest to investigate!" Liu Meilan said with a smile. "As long as you can control these two, there won't be any major obstacles in your career."

Fu Chen nodded, "Yes. This is the rule at home. If anyone violates it, there will be no resources. This will prevent all the resources from being piled up and then a big pit appears, and all the efforts will be wasted."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's because your father had three brothers. You have so many brothers and cousins, so you can choose those with stronger abilities and cleaner private lives to train."

As he was speaking, Mayor Tang came hurried over.

Liu Meilan was startled. "Uncle Tang, why are you here? It's so windy and rough outside!"

Mayor Tang's face was swollen and he looked a bit down. He asked, "Meilan, there have been storms these past few days, and I'm really worried. Every household on the island is worried that the storm will wash away the pearl oysters."

Liu Meilan consoled him, "There's no point in being anxious. The storm will soon die down, so the damage shouldn't be too great."

"How can I not be anxious? They are all loans." Mayor Tang smiled bitterly. His family was fine. After all, they made money last year. Even if they lost money, it would be a waste of time at most, and they would not be in debt.

But I started farming last year and haven't made any money yet, and I've borrowed so much. If I lose money, I won't be able to get back on my feet.

Liu Meilan used her spiritual sense to sense that there would indeed be losses, but not too much. "Uncle Tang, I know everyone is worried, but there's no point in being anxious! When we started raising the fish, we told everyone about the risks and advised them not to raise so many, but the villagers didn't believe us!"

Mayor Tang sighed, "Alas, last year's harvest showed everyone the benefits, so everyone followed suit. As for the risks, they've long forgotten them."

"Look, the wind and waves outside have died down a bit. They'll stop soon," Liu Meilan advised. "When the time comes, you'll feel at ease. Don't be afraid. As long as you haven't lost everything, you can still get your money back."

The villagers who cultivate pearls on Sifang Island are indeed getting angry, just as Mayor Tang said.

After the storm subsided, he immediately went to check on his own aquaculture area. He breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that the losses were less than one-tenth.

But when they thought about how long it was until October, they started to worry again.

Everyone took better care of the family and went to the Mazu Temple to worship more frequently.

Although Liu Meilan felt sympathy, she also knew that this was the sea: it was generous but also cruel.

After the storm, Liu Meilan discovered something strange: a large number of pearl oysters on the seabed, moving towards her family's free-range pearl farm.

There were so many of them.

Liu Meilan scratched her head. There weren't so many of them before. Could it be that because she often used her spiritual sense to wander around her own breeding area, these pearl oysters that had escaped from the breeding area came here?

But most of these are raised by villagers, and it seems not good for her to accept them with a clear conscience.

Liu Meilan thought about it and decided to lower the price of pearl oyster seedlings next year so as not to take advantage of them for free.

In addition, the breeding density in her breeding area was already very high, and now there are so many more, there is not enough food, and it is easy for the fish to get sick and have problems.

So Liu Meilan scattered these mother-of-pearl oysters all over the seabed and found that it really worked.

Liu Meilan was happy. If she waited until these pearl oysters grew up and caught them, wouldn't they become wild?

Liu Meilan acted immediately and sent these pearl oysters to food-rich areas on the seabed, allowing them to settle down there.

The surrounding islands had all been contracted, so Liu Meilan could only drive them farther away.

Liu Meilan was very tired and slept soundly at night. Suddenly, in her dream, two dolls jumped into her arms. She was so excited that she felt a stomachache.

The pain made Liu Meilan open her eyes quickly, only to feel something wet underneath her. She patted Fu Chen beside her and said, "Fu Chen, I'm giving birth!"

Fu Chen woke up immediately, his eyes alert but his expression nervous, "Meilan, don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Because they were pregnant for a long time, Fu Chen and Liu Meilan lived in the old house.

"Grandpa, Sister Xiufang, Meilan is about to give birth." Fu Chen knocked on Grandpa Liu's door.

Zhang Xiufang had been preoccupied these past few days, so when she heard the noise, she immediately got up and said, "Here they come."

"Meilan, don't be afraid, grandpa is here." Grandpa Liu hurriedly comforted his granddaughter when he saw her.

Fu Chen wrapped Liu Meilan in his coat and carried her to the car at the door. "Xiao Feng, you stay home and take care of grandpa."

The old man is old and his legs are a little weak due to anxiety. He can't stand steadily, so Xiao Feng supports him.

Old Master Liu waved his hand, "No, I'm going to the hospital. Xiufang, you stay with Meilan. Xiaofeng, you stay at home with Chongyang."

Back then, the conditions were not right. When his daughter-in-law gave birth, his son was not there, and neither was he, so someone felt free to swap the children.

He won't allow this to happen again!
