Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

The ship docked at midnight.

The port was deserted.

Everyone was exhausted at this point.

Yang Bai yawned as he disembarked and saw Chen Dahai stretching his muscles.

"Old Chen, you held up for two days last time, I'll take over this time."

When catching the barracuda, Chen Dahai had taken the lead twice, and this time it was his turn.

Zhang Kang had just arrived, and this order was extremely important, involving a 60-ton ship. He didn't want Zhang Kang to be in charge of it.

Chen Dahai shook his head.

"Xiao Yang, I'm so sleepy right now, all I want to do is lie down and sleep. It'll be past 1 a.m. by the time I ride back, aren't you afraid I'll collapse on the way?"

"I'll borrow your boat's bed for a bit. I'll keep watch over things today and ask if anyone wants to stay with me."

"Go back now."

He yawned heavily. It would be easy for Yang Bai to drive his motorcycle back home, but he still had two ex-siblings to worry about.

He would ride his bicycle back empty anyway, so he might as well fall asleep and go to the county to buy things before going back the next day.

"By the way, I shouldn't have to work tomorrow, right?"

Chen Dahai asked.

Yang Bai nodded, "You've all worked so hard today. Take a rest tomorrow, and we'll start fishing again once we have the 60-ton boat in our hands."

They'll be fishing until midnight, and with the weighing and settlement process tomorrow, there won't be much time left for fishing at sea. It's better to let them get some rest.

Chen Dahai nodded, his eyelids opening and closing heavily.

I lit a cigarette to try and cheer myself up.

"Xiao Yang, I'm going to sleep now."

Yang Bai nodded, watched his retreating figure board the boat, and then called over the rest of the people.

The two wooden boats had already gone back, leaving only twenty people on the three steel boats.

"Who among you would like to stay and watch the things?"

Almost everyone in Haiba Village raised their hands, except for Yang Jun.

Like Chen Dahai, they were concerned that it was too late to go back now, as it would be unsafe and take too long.

"Okay, everyone who raised their hand, stay and watch. This time, we'll add ten dollars to your wages."

After the crowd dispersed.

Yang Bai approached Ma Yongkang and said, "Have Wang An come over tomorrow at noon, and let's go fishing at Widow's Sea."

Ma Yongkang perked up a bit upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll let them know. Yang Bai, can I come along?"

Yang Bai thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go together."

Ma Yongkang had received systematic maritime education, and after spending these days together, he was neither a fool nor a stubborn person like Chen Dahai.

Going to Widow's Sea shouldn't lead to anything foolish.

Ma Yongkang was quite excited, "I've always wanted to go to Widow's Sea, and now my dream has come true."

Widow Sea is a mysterious sea area that swirls around the Fuhai area and even the entire province.

He had never set foot there before, largely because of the danger.

Now that Yang Bai is willing to take him fishing in Widow's Sea, this rare opportunity is enough to excite him and fill him with anticipation for this trip.

When Yang Bai returned home, his two daughters and daughter were already asleep.

He opened the dish cover, and inside was a cold seafood risotto. Not wanting to wake them, he didn't go to the stove to reheat it.

After finishing his meal, Yang Bai went into the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed.

Su Wanqiu sensed that Yang Bai had returned, and slowly opened her eyes to look at Yang Bai's face in the moonlight.

"You're back so late, have you finished eating?"

Yang Bai didn't expect Wanqiu to wake up. He put his legs on the bed and lay down flat.

"I'm done eating."

Su Wanqiu turned sideways and hugged Yang Bai's shoulder.

"Then go to sleep."

A wave of languid weakness washed over Yang Bai's arms, and the delicate, comforting jasmine scent emanating from Su Wanqiu filled his nostrils. All the fatigue of the day vanished, his mind settled, and he drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

When Yang Bai woke up, the bed was empty, and he could hear the sound of Su Wanqiu's sewing machine.

He changed into trousers and walked into the living room wearing slippers.

I glanced at the clock and realized it was already nine o'clock.

Su Wanqiu stopped what she was doing and said, "There's breakfast on the table. Would you like me to heat it up?"

Yang Bai shook his head. Wanqiu was still working, and he didn't want to disturb her.

After finishing my meal, I went to wash the dishes. I had only washed half of them when two burly men standing guard at the door made a sound.

"Comrade Chen Dahai, what are you doing here?"

Chen Dahai stared at the two burly men for a moment, then looked up at Yang Bai, who was washing dishes.

"Yang Bai, are you hiring someone to guard your house? That's like a landlord."

Yang Bai took two steps forward, waved his hand, and spoke sincerely.

"You have no airs of a landlord. You saw it with your own eyes the other day when a group of women came to your door to make a scene."

Late Autumn was handling a job assigned by a specialist, and the fabrics were all top-quality.

"It's for receiving foreign guests, so nothing can go wrong, which is why I hired someone to look after it here."

Chen Dahai clicked his tongue, fully aware of the cause and effect, and nodded.

"Xiao Yang is more far-sighted and thoughtful."

Yang Bai, preoccupied with the accounting for the fish catch, casually asked, "Has the cargo been counted?"

Chen Dahai's brows relaxed, and his tone revealed his joy: "The inventory is complete. It just exceeds 100,000 jin. The 60-ton ship deal is now a sure thing."

Yang Bai felt a weight lifted from his heart. His days of busy work at sea had finally paid off. Seeing that Chen Dahai had made a special trip, he knew that the other party had something else to say.

"That's good. All your hard work these past few days has paid off. I'm sure you came here for more than just to deliver this message."

Chen Dahai moved to the side, a hint of interest on his face, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"Yang Bai, I'm stopping by the county supply and marketing cooperative on my way back to do some shopping. Guess who I ran into?"

Seeing that he was deliberately teasing him, Yang Bai had no interest in guessing the riddle and said calmly.

"If you can't guess, just say so."

Chen Dahai snapped his fingers.

"Yang Jun was strolling around with a pretty woman. The way he acted, it was like he hadn't seen a woman in eight hundred years. He was very, very obsequious, like a servant fawning over a landlord. Yes, fawning."

He thought for a moment, then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such an expression on his face, he's such a rough guy. Thinking about it now, it's hilarious."

"But that woman didn't seem to appreciate it. She was very picky about everything when we went out, and made Yang Jun carry everything. If it were me, I would have lost my temper long ago."

"Xiao Yang, do you know who Xiao Jun is with?"

Yang Bai sighed. No wonder he didn't raise his hand yesterday. It turned out he was in a hurry to go back and get some sleep and had gone to the county town with Wang Yao.

He's still licking it like that, there's no hope for him.

"Wang Yao, a former educated youth in the village, is someone anyone with eyes can see. She wants Yang Jun's money, not genuinely wanting to make friends or get married."

"I tried to persuade Yang Jun, but he wouldn't listen to me on this matter. It's good to let him suffer, otherwise he'll think I'm the one who harmed him."

Chen Dahai, thinking of his sweetheart, smiled and said, "Luckily, Cuihua isn't that kind of person. Xiao Yang, are you going fishing at Widow's Sea this afternoon?"

Yang Bai nodded. "Yes, you know."

Chen Dahai lowered his voice, "Of course, if you catch anything good, give it to me. I'll buy it from you. Tonight, I'm inviting Cuihua to my house for dinner."
