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

Yang Jun found the other person's sarcastic remarks particularly grating, gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and clenched his fists tightly together.

Liu Dade quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Don't act impulsively. It's not too late to discuss this when Xiao Yang comes back. If you strike first, you'll give others a pretext to use against you."

"I've also felt that this person is acting strangely these past few days; it's obvious that he's deliberately picking a fight."

Even if he deliberately avoided the fishing area designated by Yang Bai these past two days, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the catch of the other three fishing boats.

On a single day, a steel boat could rake in three thousand yuan, while a wooden boat could earn over nine hundred to a thousand yuan. Anyone else would have rushed over there to try their luck long ago.

Besides, according to the rules, the more you embezzle, the more you earn. I really can't understand why he's always going against the grain. What is he trying to achieve?

"This is infuriating! I really want to tie him up and give him a good beating!"

Yang Jun was filled with rage. If Liu Dade hadn't held him back at sea, he would have pushed the other man into the water long ago.

Zhang Sheng slowly stood up, strolled over to Yang Jun, and deliberately provoked him:

"What? You wanted to hang me up and beat me? Go ahead and do it if you dare!"

Seeing his smirking expression, Yang Jun was completely enraged, his face turning bright red. Liu Dade quickly grabbed him around the waist and pulled him close.

"Yang Jun, calm down!"

Yang Jun, tall and strong, struggled desperately, cursing loudly, "You bastard! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll take my surname, Zhang!"

He had lived most of his life and had seen people act arrogantly, but he had never seen anyone so annoying.

He couldn't swallow this insult; he was determined to beat the other party into submission before he was satisfied!

Just as this commotion was about to escalate, the sound of a motorcycle rang out.

The sound of the car could only be heard from Yang Bai.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yang Bai driving his motorcycle at full speed.

Yang Jun's lips curled up in a smile, and he was extremely pleased.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang is finally here! You little punk, just wait and see how Brother Yang deals with you!"

The motorcycle pulled up in front of Yang Jun, and Yang Bai got off the motorcycle, looking at the fishermen around him and asking questions.

Who is Zhang Sheng?

Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Bai with disdain.

"So you're Yang Bai. Your men are so disobedient. I've been captain for three days, and they still won't listen to me. You're not very good at managing people, are you?"

This blatant sarcasm ignited anger in the hearts of the fishermen from Haiba Village present.

Yang Bai walked straight up to Zhang Sheng, rubbed his fist, and threw a straight punch at his face.

"I'm going."

He had just run into Secretary Ma when he was passing by the brigade compound on his way back to the village with Zhang Ning, and he told him the whole story.

Yang Bai immediately sensed something was wrong, so he went to the seafood company and had someone investigate his background.

"Damn it, still pretending, huh? Wu Anshun's dog."

Judging by the time it takes, Wu Anshun should be released from prison by now.

He disguised himself very well; he was neither from Linghai County nor an employee of Linghai Aquatic Products Company.

But his wife was surnamed Wu, which is very rare in the Fuhai area.

It's obvious that it came from an illegitimate source.

"Wu Anshun".

Upon hearing the name, Yang Jun's eyes widened in shock. No wonder the other party had deliberately steered their boat into fishless waters for the past three days and repeatedly provoked him; they were intentionally trying to anger him and force him into taking legal action!

With a quick thought, and having pieced together the whole story, Yang Jun suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "You people are all so vicious!"

Zhang Sheng sneered: "I may not be considered one of Wu Anshun's men, but if you lay a hand on him, you'll be the one in jail—and Yang Bai, you won't escape either."

There was still blood at the corner of his mouth, and his smile looked even more sinister.

Yang Bai glanced around at everyone present and shrugged slightly: "Everyone saw it. Who saw me make a move? The injury on his face was clearly from a fall, wasn't it?"

Those around shook their heads. Those present were either members of Yang Bai's fleet or workers on the ship; no one wanted to meddle, much less dare to offend Yang Bai.

Zhang Sheng was stunned. His eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Yang Bai, wishing he could devour him alive.

"Yang Bai, this is your territory. You're quite something, but don't get too cocky!"

Yang Bai raised his hand and lightly patted his cheek, his tone tinged with mockery: "I'm just smug, so what? The losses you've caused these past few days, I can easily make up for them."

"I know exactly what you're up to. Are you trying to provoke us and make things worse? Our fleet isn't that stupid."

"Go back and tell Wu Anshun, if he has the guts, he should stand up and speak to me face to face. Stop playing dirty tricks behind my back. Make him come out and see me!"

Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Yang Bai: "You just wait!"

Having said that, he didn't dare linger and turned away in a hurry.

Yang Jun scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Brother Yang, are we just going to let him go like that? Judging from his tone, he's clearly connected to Wu Anshun."

Yang Bai shook his head: "Right now, we don't have any solid evidence. Even if we can prove that he is working for the other side, we have no reason to arrest him."

"These past few days, at most he's just disrupted the fishing catch and caused the fleet to lose some money." He changed the subject, looking at the two people beside him, "Today's incident should serve as a wake-up call for you two. From now on, which of you is willing to learn to operate a steel boat?"

The helmsman's position must be held by one of our own to avoid suffering further losses. If I were to leave in the future, I might encounter the same trouble again.

Liu Dade smiled wryly and pointed at Yang Jun: "I'm already over forty, and I only had a son late in life. With my age, I don't have the energy to learn new skills. If anyone should learn, let Yang Jun do it."

Yang Jun shook his head vigorously: "I have a lot of brute strength, but I can't read many words, and I have a fiery temper. Asking me to learn how to drive a boat would take forever."

"You seem to understand it quite well," Yang Bai joked, but inwardly he sighed.

Both of them were telling the truth. Liu Dade was getting on in years, and even if he learned the skills, he wouldn't be able to sail for more than a few years. In his previous life, he hadn't been able to master the steel boat either. Yang Jun was impatient and easily angered. If no one kept him in check, he was likely to cause trouble if he became a captain. Moreover, his illiteracy was a significant weakness.

"Xiaojun, if you want to make money with everyone in the future, you must learn to read. You've saved up some money now, so hire a tutor when you have time and study at home to learn to read. Don't idle around all day and always have your mind on other trivial matters."

The world is changing every day, and knowledge will only become more and more important. If you remain illiterate, you will fall behind sooner or later, and you won't be able to help others then.

Yang Jun straightened his expression and nodded emphatically: "Brother Yang, I know I was wrong. I will definitely study hard and learn to read properly when I get back!"

Yang Bai patted him on the shoulder, then addressed the entire team of fishermen and asked loudly, "Anyone else willing to learn how to operate a steel boat, or who wants to learn another skill, please raise your hand."

Although the fishermen were eager to improve their lives, even Yang Jun and Liu Dade were at a loss. Others had only known how to fish at sea for many years, and their literacy might not be as good as Yang Jun's. For a moment, no one responded.

Yang Bai smiled helplessly; it seemed he would have to find someone else.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Brother Yang, I want to learn!"

Yang Bai looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the person. After a moment's thought, he remembered. Wasn't this Qian Tianyao, who had come to deliver the message earlier and was eager to learn the skills?
