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

"Hey, I'm here! Uncle, why are you here?"

"The door is not locked, just push it open and come in."

The person who came was the village chief Fu who had not appeared for several days.

When Village Chief Fu heard what Boss Fu said, his men pushed hard and the gate opened.

"Hey, are you cleaning up the fish and shrimp?"

"Yes, uncle, what brings you here?"

Boss Fu washed his hands in the cleaner water nearby and moved the bamboo chair over.

You know, Village Chief Fu is usually very busy. I haven’t seen him fishing recently.

Village Chief Fu looked at him for a long time without saying anything. His serious expression made Boss Fu a little confused.

"Uncle, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Just tell me if you have any difficulties. If I, Boss Fu, can help you, I will definitely help you!"

When Village Chief Fu heard what Boss Fu said, he thought to himself that he had not misjudged the person, but he was just not good enough to treat the child.

He sighed deeply. "Oh, I don't know how to tell you this. Yesterday, your aunt and Ajian went to my parents' house to give them holiday gifts. My brother-in-law somehow found out that my boat was empty and had been rented out, so he insisted on letting me use it..."

Having said that, if Boss Fu didn't understand, he would be a fool, and his face looked unhappy at the time.

Fu Wan, who was in the room, just came out and heard the noise. She put on her clothes and got up with her two children.

"Village Chief, why are you coming to my house so early?"

Fu Wan was tying the hair of the two little girls while smiling, breaking the somewhat awkward situation.

When Village Chief Fu saw that Boss Fu was frowning and silent, he looked very embarrassed, and even his smile to Fu Wan sounded like crying.

Boss Fu looked at Village Chief Fu's head full of white hair and sighed in his heart.

It’s not that he was unwilling to return the boat, but it just happened to be at this juncture when his own boat also had problems.

"Dad, the village chief has no choice. We just need to rest for a few days, so let's forget about the previous lease!"

She was so generous because after she was reborn, Village Chief Fu helped her a lot.

She was able to register her household in Fujia Village again and was even granted another piece of residential land, all because Village Chief Fu did not block her. If Village Chief Fu had not persuaded the villagers, the Fu family would have built two buildings at once, and the villagers would have been in an uproar.

When Boss Fu heard his daughter say this, he immediately thought of the building that was already half built.

He walked into the house and took out the key to the boat. The cabin and diesel engine were locked.

"Uncle, here are the keys. I just happened to bring back all the fishing nets from the boat last night. The boat is pretty clean, so go back and take a look."

Village Chief Fu took the key and nodded repeatedly, then remembered something and took out the plastic bag that he used to wrap his tobacco from his inner pocket.

There is another bag under the plastic bag, and it looks like the bag I used to use to store sugar at home.

He counted out fifteen and gave it to Boss Fu, "Gou Wa, I'll return the rent to you. This was dishonest of me, and I don't have the face to accept this money."

Boss Fu refused to take it and quickly pushed it back.

"Uncle, forget about the money. I've known you for so many years. Wouldn't giving me money mean you look down on me?"

Fu Lao Da insisted not to do so, so Fu Wan tied up the two children's hair and urged them to brush their teeth.

Fu Ling's eyes rolled around mischievously, not quite understanding why the adults were pushing the money around.

"Village Chief, you should take back the money. After all, we have been using the boat for a while."

Recently, they added an extra boat. After deducting the cost of the diesel engine, the boat care, and the tax, Fu Wan estimated that she should have made at least one or two thousand yuan.

Compared with this profit, she didn't feel comfortable accepting the ten yuan rent returned by the village chief.

Seeing that they refused to accept the money, Village Chief Fu had no choice but to take it back.

"Okay, okay, I, an old man, will remember your kindness."

Fu Wan smiled and said, "Don't take it to heart, Village Chief."

"Thanks to you for taking care of our house construction."

A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. This is absolutely true. Village Chief Fu nodded and was about to go back, but he didn't expect to see the mole cricket shrimp that Boss Fu had mentioned to clean up before.

"Oh, these shrimps are really good, and you can tell they're fat and meaty! Gou Wa, you can't finish all of these, so sell some to me!"

He liked this thing very much, but his wife searched the beach but couldn't find it.

I don’t know where Boss Fu got the ability to get such a big basket.

Without even considering whether to buy it or not, Fu Wan went to the kitchen to get a bowl. After thinking for a moment, she changed it to the plastic bag that Ye Xiaocui had previously used to hold the biscuits.

She grabbed several handfuls of mole shrimps and put them into the bag, then went to the side and got a few fairy clams, and grabbed two more handfuls of mantis shrimps. Now the bag was full.

"Village Chief, take these back and eat them!"

"Oh, why did you pack such a big bag for me?"

When Village Chief Fu saw so many things, he felt embarrassed, but he was reluctant to leave any of them behind, so he simply put down two dollars without saying anything and ran away with the things.

"Awan, keep those two dollars!"

Fu Wan picked up the two dollars and said, "I'll leave it with Mom so she can buy groceries."

"Well, you're thoughtful."

Boss Fu had just finished sighing when Fu Ming came out rubbing his eyes.

"Why are you all up so early? Isn't today a holiday?"

Boss Fu was already in a bad mood, and he became even angrier when he saw Fu Ming's confused look.

"The sun is already blazing down on your head, why don't you brush your teeth and get to work!"

"Didn't you brag last night that you were going to make your signature dish today?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"

Fu Ming was not annoyed by his father's scolding. He whistled happily, scooped a bucket of water and squatted under the eaves to brush his teeth.

"Awan, the village chief doesn't want to rent that boat anymore. What do you think?"

Seeing that Fu Wan agreed so readily, Boss Fu guessed that his daughter had other ideas.

"Dad, why don't we buy a new boat!"

"Renting a boat isn't a long-term solution. We rented a boat before because we didn't have much money. If we buy a boat, not only will we have to save money, we might even have to borrow money."

"But it's different now. We can afford a ship."

Yes, Boss Fu started to calculate in his mind. Not to mention how much money Fu Wan had made from selling ambergris in the capital before, he himself had some money from building the house and selling fish recently.

"Okay, then let's go to the shipyard tomorrow."

"But it takes time to buy a ship from a shipyard. If I buy now, I don't know if I can get it after the Chinese New Year."

Boats these days are all custom-made; you can't buy one today and have it arrive tomorrow. Fu Wan wasn't in a hurry, and instead tried to persuade Boss Fu.

"Dad, let's make two preparations. First, find someone to repair our iron boat.

We'll use it in the second half of this year, and then we'll order a larger ship from the shipyard. Then we'll let Ye Lin and his team drive the small iron boat or rent it out, and we'll use the larger ship. I estimate we'll be able to pay for ourselves in a year at most."

Boss Fu pondered for a moment and said, "This is the only way."

Although he bought his boat second-hand, it was his first boat after all, so he still had feelings for it.

Fu Ming was confused as he listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

He didn't even care about the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and he just started yelling with the foam flying everywhere.

"What, our family is buying a boat?!"
