After leaving the private school, Xu Yiyi took Sanchuan to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone. The private school provided books.

Sanchuan held the things his elder sister bought for him like a baby, following behind like a little follower.

Xu Yiyi went to the government office to inquire about the money required to set up a stall, which was five hundred coins per month.

You can get the paperwork done right away if you pay the money.

Looking at the enthusiastic look of the officer, I thought that the stall could not be rented out.

In fact, this is not the case. Among the dozens of vendors on the pier, most of them sell food.

The remaining two positions are not very good and no one has been interested in them.

Now that Xu Yiyi is here, I naturally don’t want to let her go.

"Are you here to see me?"

Zhong Congyun's voice came, with a tone of surprise.

Ever since the two families broke off the engagement, his attitude has been better than before, and I can "happen" to see him every time I come to the dock.

Xu Yiyi couldn't help but suspect that someone was leaking the information.

"Why would I look for you? We've both called off our engagement. There are differences between men and women. Don't yell at me like that when you see me on the street in the future, or people might think I'm in some way related to you."

Xu Yiyi didn't dislike Zhong Congyun at first, she just felt that he was inappropriate.

Now she is more or less unhappy with his behavior, especially when she knows that he announced to the public that she is his fiancée even though they have broken off the engagement.

I'm already tired of him.

"Don't be upset, my dad just came back from his holiday yesterday. Do you want to have a meal together at my house?"

There was trepidation in Zhong Congyun's tone, and Xu Yiyi thought of that old fox Zhong Xiang.

He was far away in the capital city. When he heard that the two had broken off the engagement, he wrote a letter to her specifically, trying to save the relationship.

There was a flattering tone in his voice.

Xu Yiyi knew exactly what he was after, which was nothing more than Lin Ke's letter of recommendation.

He even wrote a letter asking his family to move up the wedding date.

Unfortunately, sometimes people are just a little bit unlucky, and the letter was delayed.

"There's no relationship between you and me anymore. It's inappropriate for you to invite me to your house for dinner now. I ask you to pretend you don't know me when you see me outside in the future, okay? There's no possibility between you and me anymore."

Xu Yiyi didn't care how sad Zhong Congyun would be when he heard this, after all, he had strong ability to adjust himself.

But if he said something polite to save face for both parties, he would take it seriously.

After saying that, Xu Yiyi took Sanchuan away.

The child kept looking at his elder sister's expression, as if he was worried that she would be sad.

Little did he know that Xu Yiyi was planning to go to the boat market to look at the boats.

Xu Yiyi's family runs a shipyard, but their ships are suitable for sailing on the river. Most of them are sand ships with a flat bottom and shallow draft, which are not safe in the sea.

But I still know a little bit about ships.

She plans to save enough money and then go to a boat market to customize a boat that suits her needs, with two or three floors.

The bottom of the cabin is specially used for storing seafood, and it has a small kitchen. The second floor can be used for living, and food and accommodation are arranged.

From now on, she can go out to sea for as many days as she wants.

When you have free time, you can take a boat out to sea and follow the ocean currents to visit other places.

"Sister, do we still have money? Otherwise, let's return these things!"

I just bought pens, ink, paper and inkstone and spent sixty taels of silver, which is exactly the price of the small boat that Uncle Li mentioned.

Sanchuan looked at everyone walking and watching in the boat market, and felt a little guilty for a moment.

"Why return it? I bought it so you could study. The money for buying a boat and the money for sending you to school are two different things. Just focus on studying hard."

Sanchuan was very sensible. He started to learn at the age of four and showed great talent in reading.

Xu Yinli thought that he should go to school, but studying would cost a lot of money.

Xu Yinli’s salary was not enough, and Zhan Jilan did not want her living standard to decline because of supporting a scholar at home.

So every month after receiving Xu Yinli's salary, he spent it all and never mentioned studying at all.

But when Xu Yinli came back from vacation, she kept crying and complaining that studying cost too much money and asked Xu Yinli to find a solution.

Sanchuan didn't understand why A Niang did this, he just listened to what she said about studying costing a lot of money.

So when I heard that my elder sister wanted to continue sending him to school, I was both happy and worried.

"But I can't buy my eldest sister's boat..."

Sanchuan knew that his eldest sister wanted to buy a boat, otherwise she would not have asked Uncle Li.

"Big sister is rich!"

Xu Yiyi was really fed up with seeing her children at home looking worried.

She originally just wanted to come and see the style of the boat, but now she decided to buy it directly.

It was only slightly cheaper than Li Shunan’s boat, fifty-five taels of silver.

The money was delivered so quickly and efficiently.

Sanchuan could never forget this scene until he grew up.

It's like a dream.

"Sister, we really have our own boat now!"

Sanchuan sat on the boat and touched it carefully.

This boat has no canopy, but the one with a canopy sells for sixty-five taels of silver, which is ten taels more.

So Xu Yiyi simply bought a boat and added it himself.

When the Xu family's boat met Li Shunan's boat at the dock, he was shocked instantly.

"Where did this ship come from?"

The boat was so new that Li Shunan could even smell the paint on it.

"I didn't steal it, nor did I rob it. I bought it myself."

Xu Yiyi's generosity not only shocked Li Shunan, but also shocked the villagers.

After all, it is surprising that a family whose father has died and whose mother has run away can still come up with such a large sum of money to buy a boat.

"How much money do you have left? Can you lend me some? I want to buy a boat, but I'm still short of forty taels."

……

"You bought this boat, aren't you going to go out to sea? You're just a little girl, don't even think about doing something so dangerous. How about you lend it to me and I'll take care of your seafood?"

When these words came out, many people looked at the man with strange eyes.

He is taking advantage of the little girl to deceive people. He rents a boat but doesn't pay the rent. That is a conscienceless act.

"I'm out of money, so I can't lend you any money, uncle. I'm planning to keep this boat for myself, not renting it out, and I can't lend it to anyone..."

My uncle came late and shouted a few words loudly, as if he was angry.

"You are an unfilial daughter. You have spent all your father's pension. How are you going to support the family in the future?"

Everyone sighed when they heard this, it turned out that all the money in the bottom of the box was taken out.

"Let's go fishing. We won't starve to death anyway."

"Why did you borrow money from me yesterday? If I knew you spent all the money in the family to buy a boat, I would beat you to death."

Now, not only has all the money been spent, but we also owe foreign debts.

Everyone thought that the ship was not in such good condition.

Xu Yiyi glanced at her angry uncle. It was indeed eye-catching that she spent so much money at once.

The uncle wanted to create a situation where she was penniless so that she wouldn't be targeted by thieves.
