Xu Jiafu had a great experience going out to sea on a boat last time, and he went to find Dong Haiyang as soon as he got back.

First, he used the largest ship in the city to attract his attention, and then accidentally revealed that the ship was still missing a helmsman.

When Dong Haiyang heard this, he immediately pulled him over and asked for an introduction.

When Fu Wan met Dong Haiyang for the first time, the love for the Riding the Wind and Waves on his face was really not fake.

Fu Wan asked a few questions about Dong Haiyang's previous experience at sea, and seeing that there was no problem, she agreed to let him steer the boat. His salary was a little higher than that of the boatmen, 80 yuan a month.

Of course, dividends are calculated separately.

Dong Haiyang was very satisfied with this income. He worked at the shipyard, and although food and accommodation were provided, it was only 40 yuan a month.

Including the seniority allowance, it is already a great achievement to earn fifty yuan a month.

Although Dong Haiyang's salary is higher, no one else has any objection.

In their eyes, Dong Haiyang was an expert recruited by Boss Fu from the municipal shipyard, so it was understandable that his salary was higher.

Besides, their salaries including dividends are not small and they are already quite satisfied.

As the long horn sounded, four boats left the dock one after another. Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan took their children to watch Fu Wan and her boat leave. They turned back only when the boats could no longer be seen on the sea.

"Xiao Cui, Chun Lan, your family will surely have another great harvest this time out at sea!"

Liu Sanniang and others were also watching the fun at the dock, and they made jokes when they saw this.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan grinned as they listened.

"Haha, you'll know right after we've just put out to sea. If we really catch something when we get back, I'll definitely give you a fish to eat!"

"Well, I won't be polite then. I want grouper and nothing else!"

Liu Sanniang looked very proud and arrogant, and several familiar ladies nearby shook their heads when they heard what she said.

"Listen, listen, what a wonderful thought! You even want to eat grouper. Sanniang, has the old village chief gone fishing again? Did he catch seven or eight groupers for you?"

"Bah, what grouper? The old man only catches small fish that he can't eat. Even a sea bass is a big deal!"

The women in the village talked endlessly, and Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan also joined in the conversation, but for some reason, Ye Xiaocui always felt that someone was staring at them.

"Chunlan, it's almost time. Let's go back quickly. It's getting dark and we won't be able to see the road."

Jiang Chunlan nodded in agreement and turned around to see Ye Xiaocui rubbing her arms.

"Xiao Cui, what's wrong with you? Are you cold in the wind?"

"No, I always feel like someone is watching us."

Ye Xiaocui looked around in confusion. There were familiar faces everywhere. Some were going to the beach, some were chatting, and no one was looking at them at all.

Even if their eyes met occasionally, they would politely nod and smile and greet each other, without any uncomfortable feeling.

"Never mind, let's go back first."

Ye Xiaocui spoke directly. She called out loudly to Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu who were running away, and then pulled them and walked quickly towards home.

It was not until she entered the house that Ye Xiaocui felt her heart settle down.

Jiang Chunlan looked at her old sister's nervous expression and guessed that she felt insecure because Fu Wan and the others went out to sea.

"Come on, seeing you like this, it must be because Awan and the others just left, and you are a little uncomfortable.

How about this, I'll stay with you tonight. Huiping hasn't come back from her parents' home yet, and I'll be bored at home alone."

Upon hearing what Jiang Chunlan said, Ye Xiaocui smiled and nodded.

"Okay, that's perfect."

The courtyard gate was closed, and Yuanbao noticed something was wrong and kept pacing around the door.

In an alley not far away, two men were hiding in the shadows. The thin and short man was chewing a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, his eyes full of greed.

This person was none other than Wang Quezi, who had previously collected fish with Wang Jianshe.

Last year, Wang Jianshe was responsible for collecting goods from Fujia Village and Wangjia Village, while Wang Quezi was responsible for collecting seafood near Shenjia Village.

After Wang Jianshe ran away with the money, Wang Quezi was hated by everyone in the village, but he could not run away because he was a lame man because his leg was broken by a buffalo when he was a child.

In addition, Wang Quezi had saved some money before, and after the village chief asked him to return the money for the fish near Shenjia Village, the fishermen stopped bothering him.

But Wang Quezi's family was empty-handed and he had no income, so he could only beg for food everywhere.

After begging in all the surrounding villages, he ran to the county town to beg for food.

There are quite a few beggars in the county town, and you can occasionally meet many kind-hearted people.

Just two days ago, Wang Quezi actually met a kind-hearted rich man.

This rich man often bought him big meat buns from the state-owned restaurant. You know, meat buns are not cheap, they cost 20 cents each.

After eating the meat buns a few times, the man became familiar with Wang Quezi and started asking Wang Quzi about someone.

That is Fu Wan from Fujia Village.

Wang Quezi didn’t know the others, but he had heard Wang Jianshe talk about these people from Fu Wan’s family more than once or twice.

Not only did he know that Fu Wan's family had a lot of fish and was the richest in the nearby village, he also knew that Fu Wan would lead a team out to sea from time to time.

Because Wang Jianshe ran away, Wang Quezi not only hated Wang Jianshe, but also hated Fu Wan.

He felt that if Fu Wan had not stopped the people of Fujia Village from selling fish to them and not keeping the money with them, Wang Jianshe would not have run away with the money so quickly.

So, when this rich man said that he wanted to go to Fu Wan's house to find something, Wang Quezi immediately patted his chest and agreed to lead the way.

But what he didn't know was that the rich man he brought with him was actually the enemy spy Tian Yuan who had some connection with the Jiujing family.

At this time, the islanders did not know that the imperial seal had been secretly sent to the capital. The disappearance of Jiu Jingxiong and Jiu Jinghongyi all pointed to the waters of Fujia Village.

Combined with the news sent back by Kujiro Hirokazu, Kujiro's family had to guess that Fu Wan must know something.

From the information they received, Fu Wan was just a fisherman with some assets, but the failure of the Jiu Jingxiong brothers forced Tian Yuan, who had come all the way here, to act with caution.

He inquired about the news in the county town for several days, and finally decided to disguise himself as a thief and find a beggar to take him to Fu Wan's house to find out what was going on.

Even if you are caught, you can use stealing to cover up your true intentions.

Wang Quezi leaned against the wall, listening to Yuanbao's occasional barking.

He turned and looked at Tian Yuan, "Brother Tian, ​​are we going to Fu Wan's new house, or are we going to steal her old house?"

"She still has her own house?"

Tian Yuan was a little surprised, and Wang Quezi nodded angrily.

"Yes, it's said to be the most beautiful villa in this area. Damn it, God is blind, how can they be so lucky when they go out to sea!"

When Tian Yuan heard this, it took on a different meaning.

As far as he knew, there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry along with the jade seal. Ordinary fishermen didn't have the money to build a small Western-style house. Fu Wan had the money to build a house, so it was most likely that she had fished out some good stuff from the sea.
