He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

He Zhenzhen said disdainfully, "Brother, how can you say that? You're half a head taller and stronger than Bayi. You should be the one standing up for Bayi when someone bullies him!"

He Laifu let out a strange cry.

"Sister, you're not even officially married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders. Oh dear, I'm so heartbroken as your brother."

He slapped his thigh and beat his chest in frustration.

He Rong, however, appeared worried.

"Ba Yi, what you've done is commendable, but you need to be wary of retaliation. I don't think this is over yet!"

"Your eldest and second uncles each have two sons, and they will definitely not let this go, especially Cao Hongshan's eldest son, Cao Rong! I heard that he has close ties with people in the county and in society."

"He's a ruthless character; he might retaliate."

Niu Bayi said, "Retaliation is certain. I'm on guard. If they come directly to me, I'll take care of them all. If they dare to do anything to my grandmother, I've also persuaded a lot of spies in Xiaozhai Village to keep an eye on them for me."

"Tell me immediately if there's even the slightest sign of trouble!"

"I'll rush over there right now. Anyone who dares to bully my grandma again, I'll beat them to death."

"It's no use being close to people in society; when I'm ruthless, I'll even beat up a gangster!"

His face also revealed a ruthless murderous aura, which made He Rong a little scared.

Bayi is indeed not to be underestimated.

He Rong nodded and said, "Okay, it's good that you know what's going on. Are you going out to fish again tomorrow morning?"

Before Niu Bayi could respond, He Zhenzhen spoke for him, jumping up and down.

"Of course we're going out to sea to fish, but it's not really about fishing. We found a small island, and there are not only a lot of sandworms around the island, but also big prawns, I think they're called tiger prawns."

"We set out two traps that lasted longer than life itself, so we had to go out to sea to catch them and see how many tiger prawns we could get."

Upon hearing this, the He family's eyes lit up.

He Rong nodded repeatedly.

"Tiger prawns are great! They're the best variety of prawns, and they fetch a good price. Let's hurry back to the boat and get some rest so we can be out at sea again around 2 or 3 in the morning."

Niu Bayi nodded, made an appointment with He Zhenzhen, and went back to the fishing boat to sleep.

He Zhenzhen watched his retreating figure, still reluctant to part.

Zhang Xiuli glared at her irritably.

"Zhenzhen, really, you're not even married yet, and your heart is always on your man. Let me tell you, you can't do anything so improper before you're married."

"Even if Bayi doesn't build a house properly after you get married and you can only live on a fishing boat, you can still go and keep him company."

"It's not allowed before marriage, understand?"

He Zhenzhen pouted and said, "I understand. I'm not a shameless girl. I can't do something like that. There are some things that can only be done after marrying Bayi. I understand, I understand."

She nodded repeatedly as she spoke.

Her earnest expression made her family burst into laughter again.

Then, he went back to his room to rest.

Fishermen go to bed early, unless they go out to sea before dawn.

Niu Bayi went back to the fishing boat to sleep. Just as he jumped onto the deck, a gust of wind with a wild feel blew over.

The wind made his hair bounce wildly, and the surrounding fishing boats rocked.

Niu Bayi looked out to sea and saw only a gloomy darkness on the horizon.

This isn't normal black; it carries a ruthless edge!

The sky was dark and gloomy, with rolling dark clouds and occasional flashes of lightning.

The most terrifying thing is that it seems as if thousands of soldiers are trampling in the distance, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Although this area wasn't affected much, the waves were noticeably more turbulent than usual.

Niu Bayi immediately recognized it as a squall line.

It is a group of thunderstorms arranged in a line.

Wherever it goes, it can stir up towering waves and even cause hail to fall at sea, which is quite astonishing.

Fortunately, squall lines come and go quickly.

Moreover, judging from its appearance, it won't affect this place.

So Niu Bayi watched for a while, then went back to his cabin to sleep.

The squall line caused the ship to rock rhythmically, like a cradle.

As he was rocked, Niu Bayi quickly fell asleep.

He was half asleep when he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.

It felt like something was pinching his nose!

Niu Bayi opened his mouth, exhaled, and then opened his eyes, only to see He Zhenzhen lying to one side.

His right thumb and forefinger were pinching his nose and dangling back and forth.

Seeing that he had opened his eyes, He Zhenzhen said with a grin, "Bayi, you're such a pig! From now on, we can't call you 'Cow Bayi,' we have to call you 'Pig Bayi'!"

"When I came in, your snoring was like thunder."

Niu Bayi straightened up and, without saying a word, kissed her cherry-like lips.

Then, he asked with a grin, "So what do we do? After you marry me, you'll have to sleep with me every night. What if you can't stand my snoring?"

He Zhenzhen is very easygoing.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it as you sleep. Maybe I can't fall asleep without your snoring. My mom told me that when she and my dad first got married, his snoring was so loud that it bothered her a lot."

"But only six months have passed, and I'm still not used to not hearing his snoring when I sleep. I need to hear it to fall asleep."

These simple words made Niu Bayi feel really comfortable.

He suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged He Zhenzhen's slender waist.

"How about we practice first, so you can hear my snoring, and hopefully get used to it before we get married?"

"screw you!"

He Zhenzhen quickly pushed him in the chest and jumped away.

She said coquettishly, "Get up quickly! Are you still going out to sea to fish? Listen, everyone outside is going out to sea."

Sure enough, a lot of noise came from outside.

Hurried footsteps, rough conversation, and the sputtering of the engine starting up...

These sounds created the bustling scene of people setting sail from the fishing village wharf.

Niu Bayi did a somersault and jumped directly from the bed to the floor.

That's some amazing waist strength!

When He Zhenzhen saw this, her face immediately turned red.

I don't know what I was thinking about, but I got a little lost in thought.

Niu Bayi waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Hey! Are you sleepwalking? Let's go."

He Zhenzhen then came to her senses, exclaimed "Ah!" and immediately grabbed Niu Bayi's wrist, saying excitedly, "Let's go, let's go out and set sail, let's see what those two long, big fish traps can bring us."

"Maybe I'll get several hundred pounds of prawns, hehehe, I'll be rich."

The soon-to-be young couple rushed out of the fishing boat and immediately got to work.

Niu Bayi untied the rope, ran to the back, and started the motor.

He Zhenzhen then climbed into the cockpit.

The surrounding fishermen were stunned when they saw this.

Someone started shouting.

"Hey, Niu Bayi, why did you let your little wife come with you on this boat? Don't you know that women who go to sea are destined to work for nothing?"

Immediately, the group of fishermen started to jeer and tried to persuade Niu Bayi.

Never let a woman go out to sea with you, or you'll really be in trouble.

At best, you'll gain nothing; at worst, you might not be able to come back.

Niu Bayi immediately raised his voice and said, "I don't know if other women go to sea for nothing, but when my women go to sea, it's a real voyage, and they'll make a fortune!"

"She can bring me mountains of gold and silver; don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
