Ma Hou sneered, "Crossing the river and then burning the bridge, what a good family member!"

Liu Caixia, who had fainted on the bed, felt utterly hopeless upon hearing Liu Dapeng's words of severing ties.

If only I hadn't been greedy for those big yellow croakers, the money we had left would have been enough for my son to live on for the rest of his life.

Now, if they have to spend all their money, they might not have a place in the village anymore.

Everything is over, it's all over!

Liu Caixia shed tears on the bed.

Ma Hou took out several IOUs and said.

"Liu Dapeng, these are all IOUs for the boats you lent out. I was only at the government office for a day, and you lent them all out without my knowledge!"

He threw all the IOUs in Liu Dapeng's face.

"You're saying this has nothing to do with you?"

Liu Dapeng knelt on the ground and desperately flipped through the IOU. He had clearly hidden it well when it happened, how could this be!

"No, Secretary, please listen to me."

"Get out of here! You'd better figure out a way to pay back the money to the family right now."

Ma Hou frowned, having long since lost patience with him.

Liu Dapeng's face was deathly pale. Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Liu Caixia on the bed.

Even if they are relatives, they must hate each other to the core by now.

Liu Caixia closed her eyes on the bed, feeling utterly lost, with even her last support gone.

Yang Bai, it's all your fault!

She hated Yang Bai to the core; it was he who caused the Zhang family to be destroyed.

"Yang Bai!"

"Liu Caixia, what do you want?"

Hearing her gritted teeth, Yang Bai asked.

Despite the excruciating pain, Liu Caixia raised her hand and pointed at him.

"I will definitely, absolutely make you regret this!"

Yang Bai frowned. Now that he's lost his home, he still has the nerve to threaten him.

He pressed down on Liu Caixia's arm and said.

"You brought this on yourself. You've broken bones all over your body, so don't move around."

Yang Bai didn't know what was wrong with Liu Caixia's brain; it was all because of her insatiable greed, and he even started to hate her.

"Comrade Special Envoy, you can draw your conclusion now, right?"

Yang Bai asked.

The slick-haired special envoy nodded. "Yes, this maritime disaster is indeed unrelated to Yang Bai. Thank you for your cooperation."

The two shook hands.

The slick-haired special envoy had just heard Liu Caixia's threatening words, so he picked up a pen, wrote down the contact information in his notebook, tore it off, and handed it to Yang Bai.

"My name is Zhang Dezhu. This contains my home address and contact information for the police. Please notify me if you encounter any danger."

"Secretary Ma, he's a good comrade; you must ensure his personal safety!"

Ma Hou said in a deep voice, "That's natural."

After all, this maritime disaster involved too many people, and Liu Caixia was a particularly unreasonable person.

It's always good to be on guard.

"Thank you, Special Envoy."

Yang Bai carefully accepted the contact information and saw Zhang Dezhu off.

Ma Hou sighed deeply.

"Yang Bai, we lost a lot of wooden boats in this shipwreck."

I'm not asking you to pay me back, but I'm wondering if you have any connections to get a few wooden boats. We can't let the villagers go hungry.

Although wooden boats cannot enter Widow's Sea, fishing in the shallow waters has become one of the village's economic pillars.

This time, half of them were lost, and many people will go hungry.

These are the mistakes Liu Dapeng made, and as the brigade secretary, he has a responsibility to clean up the mess.

The application process takes a long time to get approval, so for now we have to just get a few to use temporarily.

Yang Bai directly pushed Hou Sanli.

"Secretary Ma, this is Manager Hou from the aquatic product supply and marketing company. He might be able to solve this problem."

Ma Hou's gaze shifted to Hou Sanli.

He nodded. "I do know some leaders at the Fisheries Bureau who can help expedite the approval process. We'll rent our company's boat for the next few days."

"Okay, thank you." Ma Hou smiled and thanked him, then pointed to the door and asked, "Now?"

Hou Sanli gestured for him to proceed. "Now, Lao Yang, I'm going with Secretary Ma to sign the contract."

Ma Hou patted Ma Qing's head and said, "Son, let's go."

After the three left.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Bai thought he might as well go to the county to buy some things.

He walked to the door, looked at the family members blocking the way outside, and said.

"Now you can figure out who is good and who is bad. Now, those who have a grudge, settle your scores."

The family members looked at each other, then looked at Liu Caixia in the ward again, their eyes filled with endless anger.

Not only did they frame Yang Bai, they also claimed that she was innocent.

I almost wronged an innocent person.

They all wanted to skin Liu Caixia alive!

"Liu Caixia, you'll die a horrible death!"

"You're the one who killed my son!"

"I'm going to tear you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

"Don't think you're safe just because you're in bed. The first thing I'll do when I get back to the village is beat up your stupid son!"

......

The two soldiers and civilians guarding the door immediately stopped them when they saw them trying to rush into the ward.

They kept cursing outside, and no amount of persuasion from the nurse envoy could change their minds.

Yang Bai bought a lot of things at the county supply and marketing cooperative and rode his tricycle back home just as it was getting dark.

He shouted into the room, "Wanqiu, Ningning, daughter, I'm home!"

The mother and her two children came out of the room almost at the same time.

Seeing the large and small bags in Yang Bai's hands, they felt relieved.

The two women stepped forward and each picked up a bag.

Only the black bag remained in Yang Bai's hand, and Yang Qiaoqiao offered to share the load.

"Dad, you must be tired today. Let me carry the black bag."

Yang Bai's expression changed instantly, and he quickly covered the black bag tightly.

"Qiaoqiao, you don't need to carry this, Daddy will take it."

Yang Qiaoqiao kept whining and coaxing.

"No, Dad, I want to take it."

Yang Bai shook his head vigorously.

The two women frowned.

"What is there that Qiaoqiao can't take? She's old enough to understand things; let her do her part to show filial piety."

Zhang Ning advised, "We can't just spoil our perfectly good daughter."

Yang Bai shook his head again, speaking bitterly.

"But, we really can't take this."

"Yang Bai, give it to me."

Su Wanqiu said in a cold tone.

Yang Bai has improved, but sometimes she spoils her child too much.

It is often said that doting mothers spoil their sons, but in Yang Bai's case, it is the doting fathers who spoil their sons.

Yang Bai would rather die than submit; letting his daughter see the contents of that black bag would only corrupt her!

"Late Autumn, listen to me, this thing is light, I can carry it."

Su Wanqiu became increasingly suspicious that he was holding something else that she shouldn't look at.

Could it be alcohol or dice? He hasn't gambled in a long time; could it be that his gambling addiction has returned?

"Yang Bai, show me!"

Her tone was almost icy; if it really were those things, she would have thrown them away immediately.

Yang Bai coughed softly, but ultimately succumbed to Wan Qiu's icy gaze.

He handed her the black bag. Su Wanqiu untied the bag, looked at what was inside, and her face instantly turned red.

She hurriedly tied the black bag back on, stuffed it into Yang Bai's arms, and took her daughter's hand.

"Fine, don't take it then. Come on, let's go inside."

Zhang Ning was stunned and followed Yang Bai, asking the question.

"What's going on? What's inside that black bag?"

Yang Bai laughed and said, "This is not something a little girl like you should be worrying about."
