At Fu Lao's house, Ye Xiaocui put the things that Fu Dalaizi had messed up back into their places while cursing.

Fu Ling took Fu Honghong to see her collection of various shells, while Fu Wan ran to the small shop to buy some new locks.

A big lock costs twenty cents, and the kind on Fu Ling’s small box is only five cents.

As a result, on the way back with the lock, she saw Xue Qing, who was so angry that his hair was standing up.

It was rare to see Xue Qing so angry. Fu Wan followed behind and hid in the crowd to watch the fun.

"How did you guard the boat? My boat is new! Brand new! Now there's a big hole in it, how are you going to let me go out to sea?"

Fu Qiang was scolded so badly that he didn't even dare to raise his head. The villagers around him were pointing and talking at them.

"Hey, what happened to that big boss's boat? There's such a big hole in it!"

Someone who knew the truth whispered, "It was bitten by a great white shark. Look at it, it proves that our ancestors were right. That thing can't be eaten!"

Xue Qing was so annoyed. He was going to go to the sea to organize the competition for Jiu Jingxiong tomorrow, and now this happened suddenly.

God knows how shocked he was when he received the news early in the morning.

His ship, such a big ship, got such a big hole in it after just one trip out to sea!

"Comrade Xue, this boat was damaged by a shark. It's useless even if you call us in!"

Village Chief Fu really felt that he should just step down. He had been the village chief for most of his life, and this was the first time he felt so overwhelmed.

He had just resolved the matter of Fu Dalaizi, and before he could even catch his breath, he was dragged away to deal with the compensation issue that Xue Qing wanted.

Xue Qing didn't care about this matter. His boat was docked at the dock of Fujia Village, so Fujia Village had to pay compensation.

"This boat was docked at your village pier and something happened. If it's not you who's going to pay for it, then who am I going to pay for it?"

Village chief Fu was helpless after hearing these words. His son Fu Jian, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand this man bullying his father.

"We didn't ask you to dock your boat here. If you have the ability, drive it back home!"

Drive the boat back home, otherwise Fu Jian would be considered a talent.

The villagers watching nearby all burst into laughter. "Ajian, you are such a mean boy!"

Fu Jian proudly raised his eyebrows at his brothers in the crowd, then stood next to the village chief with confidence.

Xue Qing became even angrier now, staring at Fu Jian with a gloomy face. Village Chief Fu did not miss the murderous intent in his eyes.

Thinking back to what had happened to Bai Qianzhou and the others before, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

I almost forgot that this is a character who is not only petty but also cruel and ruthless.

Village Chief Fu stood silently in front of his son and deliberately agreed with Xue Qing, saying, "Comrade Xue, we know you are worried about the problem with the ship, but there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, it was a shark in the sea that bit the boat. No one is as brave as you and dares to go down and catch the shark, right? "

These words made Xue Qing's expression look much better. Fu Jian didn't expect his father to be so cowardly and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Village Chief Fu turned around and glared at him fiercely.

"shut up!"

I don’t want to send off the young when I’m old!

Is this Xue Qing someone you can mess with?!

After all, he is my own father. He will really beat me when he gets anxious.

Fu Jian admitted his mistake and shut up.

Xue Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. The village will compensate me 100 yuan and we'll let it go."

He actually didn't need the hundred dollars, but this incident brought him bad luck, and he wanted to make others suffer the same bad luck as him.

"Who's guarding the boat today? Let him pay!"

Hearing what Xue Qing said, Old Li, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"I... I don't have a hundred dollars to compensate you!"

When the villagers first asked people to go to the dock to watch the boats, many people were actually interested.

Sitting at the dock every day and watching the row of boats, I earn a few dollars a month from fishing in the sea and making a living in the land. Who wouldn't want these few dollars to supplement their family income?

But later, Village Chief Fu asked Old Li to go and watch the boat, and no one in the village went to make a fuss.

Why? Because everyone saw how hard Old Li was working.

It was really hard! When I was little, I fled famine with my parents to Fujia Village. But within half a year, my parents both fell seriously ill and died.

Later, he picked up clams on the dock, learning from others to make money by fishing.

After finally growing up and getting married, he had a difficult labor and ended up with two deaths.

Some people in the village said that he had bad luck, so he never thought about getting married again and just lived alone.

In fact, Old Li and Boss Fu are about the same age, but compared now, no one would object to Old Li saying that he is the same age as Village Chief Fu.

Seeing Old Li slumped on the ground, the villagers had no choice but to feel sympathy.

After all, it’s a hundred dollars!

Fu Wan felt a little reluctant standing in the crowd. She had a hundred yuan, but she had no relationship with Old Li, and giving him money would only make people think of her.

However, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

"Uncle Li, you are here. We haven't paid the fee for watching the boat this month. How much is it? I will send it to you later!"

This village charges a fee for keeping boats at the dock.

One dollar a month for a boat.

Old Li was originally grieving over his bad luck, but when he heard Fu Wan's words, he was a little confused.

Could it be that Miss Wan remembered it wrongly? Her brother A Ming came to give her this month's money a few days ago!

The village chief immediately understood Fu Wan's meaning. He helped Old Li up and said to Xue Qing, "Comrade Xue, I wonder if you've paid the fee for looking after your boat after it docked at the pier?"

How could Xue Qing know this? "No!"

Village Chief Fu then smiled for the first time since he arrived here.

Then he immediately made a regretful expression.

"That's such a shame. You haven't even paid the fee, so Old Li has no responsibility to look after it!"

The villagers all chimed in, "That's right! How can we blame Old Li for not even confiscating the money?"

Xue Qing's face looked unhappy again, and he turned to ask Fu Qiang.

"Have you paid the money?"

Fu Qiang's hair stood on end and he answered with gritted teeth.

"no!"

"Useless things!"

Xue Qing was so angry that he kicked Fu Qiang to the ground, then turned around and walked away angrily.

He was also educated and knew that he couldn't be blamed for Old Li not charging any fees.

When everyone saw Xue Qing leave and the excitement died down, they all dispersed and went home.

Village chief Fu asked Fu Jian to send Old Li back home. The old man was so scared that his legs were weak.

Fu Qiang got up from the ground and rushed to Fu Wan, his face full of hatred.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"You cold-hearted woman!"

Since Old Li was the one taking the blame, Xue Qing would never take it out on him for failing to take good care of the place.

Fu Wan felt that something was wrong with this and snorted coldly, "Why should I be satisfied? Fu Qiang, if you're trying to get the skin of a tiger, you should be prepared for this tiger to bite you to death at any time."
