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

He Zhenzhen became even angrier.

"You're still not satisfied with 70% or 30%? You don't mean to think about our 8th or 8th 1st 2nd comrades, do you? I absolutely disagree. 8th 1st comrades worked hard at sea to earn money, even though he borrowed our ship, he risked his life for it, why should he get any credit?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Bayi was somewhat moved.

He gently patted He Zhenzhen's hand under the table, signaling her not to get so agitated and to talk things out.

He Rong smiled.

"Silly girl, this morning Bayi earned 3070 yuan, and he gave us 3000 yuan. That's almost half a boatload of money!"

"Although it includes your dowry, it's still a lot, enough!"

"We're not the kind of people who are unreasonable and only care about money."

As he spoke, he looked at Niu Bayi.

"Bayi, Uncle He didn't want my daughter to associate with you before because you were in poor health and were so sick, and your family didn't like you."

"Now that you've stood tall and become a real man who can earn money, and even been adopted as a godson by the Dragon King, I naturally have to support you. You can borrow our fishing boat to go out to sea and fish."

"Of the fish we caught, you take 90%, and we'll take 10%."

"You need to save up some money to buy a bigger fishing boat, build a house, and marry my daughter as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Niu Bayi couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed.

It seems I was being a bit petty and judging others by my own standards.

He Zhenzhen suddenly jumped up, grabbed He Rong's arm, and shook it hard, making her father sway back and forth.

"Dad! You're so great, I thank you. I thought you wanted 8, 812, but I never expected you wanted 1, 819. You're such a good dad."

He Rong burst into laughter.

"Alright, stop shaking!"

"Come on, Bayi, let me toast you. May you rise to prominence and return safely from every fishing trip with big catches, so that you can buy your own big boat and build your own house soon."

"Let my daughter be with you, so the young couple can live a wonderful and fulfilling life."

He stood up and picked up a full glass of wine.

Niu Bayi immediately stood up, holding the wine in both hands.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Beside him, He Laifu winked and made faces.

"Still calling me 'Uncle'? I think you can start by calling me 'Dad'."

Although Niu Bayi was a little embarrassed, he still called out.

"dad!"

Zhang Xiuli asked from the side, "What about me?"

Niu Bayi shouted at her.

"mom!"

He Laifu raised a thumb and pointed it at his heart.

"Call me, call me."

Niu Bayi chuckled and called out.

"Brother-in-law!"

Then, he looked at He Zhenzhen and called out sweetly.

"Wife!"

Although He Zhenzhen has a forthright personality, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when Niu Bayi called her "wife" so blatantly.

She raised her two little hands and covered her face.

"Oh my god, this is so embarrassing."

He Laifu even encouraged her.

"Hey, Bayi's already calling you 'wife,' you should hurry up and call him 'husband.'"

"I...I can't say it, I'm sorry."

He Zhenzhen stomped her foot, quickly turned around, and ran back into the house, making the whole family burst into laughter.

Then He Rong said, "Bayi, you need to borrow the boat again tonight, right? You can take it. I'll give you the key later, but can you manage by yourself? Do you need me and Laifu to help you?"

Niu Bayi thought for a moment and decided that it was best not to let anyone know his secret for the time being.

He shook his head and didn't say anything.

He Rong understood immediately and laughed heartily.

"Okay, be careful. Go out to sea to fish by yourself tonight. Your brother-in-law and I are tired too, so we can rest and do some chores around the house."

Yes, we don't need to go fishing tonight. After dinner, we can rest for a while and then go straight to sleep.

I can get up early tomorrow and do some chores at home during the day.

If you go out to sea to fish, you'll be exhausted when you come back. If you sleep, you might sleep until evening, and you won't have the energy to do any housework.

The meal lasted until after nine o'clock. Niu Bayi was half drunk, burping as he went back to the broken boat to sleep.

Although the He family wanted him to stay in the house, since there were empty rooms available, Niu Bayi refused.

When I don't want to go out, I bother them to rest.

Besides, it's quite hot, and it's stuffy to sleep indoors.

Sleeping in a wrecked boat by the sea has its advantages: it's well-ventilated and cool.

The He family did not force them.

He Zhenzhen wanted to go with them, after all, she had gone to the broken boat at noon, squeezed next to Niu Bayi, and slept with him, which felt quite comfortable.

However, with her family watching, she felt embarrassed.

Well, we still need to know how to be subtle.

What if I end up sleeping with Niu Bayi and he sleeps with me instead?

He can only sleep with you after you're married.

Niu Bayi returned to the wrecked boat and had a comfortable sleep.

In a daze, I heard a commotion coming from afar.

He opened his eyes and straightened up to look outside.

The dock was filled with figures; it was one or two in the morning, the time when fishermen set sail.

One reason for going out to sea to fish is to follow the tides.

On the other hand, it's also about seizing the early market opportunity to sell at a good price.

Another important reason for going out to sea in the South China Sea is that the weather is cool in the early morning.

If you go out fishing in broad daylight, and the sun is high in the sky, you won't catch any fish, but you'll get sunburned.

Niu Bayi quickly tidied up, grabbed He Rong's keys, and ran to the embankment.

The fishermen started teasing him as soon as they saw him.

"Bayi, you're borrowing your father-in-law's fishing boat again to go fishing at sea? Did your father-in-law agree this time?"

"Bayi is truly remarkable! He caught so many abalone on his first trip out to sea. I still feel quite envious when I think about it now. No wonder your father-in-law is so reassured about you now!"

"Hey, are you going to catch a huge abalone catch this time? Can you give me some inside information on where you're fishing? I want to make some money with you, you get the meat, and I'll just have the soup!"

……

That's what they say, but neither the listener nor the speaker takes it to heart.

After all, knowing where to catch the best fish at sea is a secret among fishermen.

How could I possibly tell outsiders?

If I tell you, I'll gain less, which is equivalent to a loss.

So, although we all go out to sea to fish together now, once we get to the deep sea, we all go our own way.

Fishing boats cannot engage in combat unless they have agreed to do so together.

Otherwise, it's common for them to be separated by ten or twenty kilometers, or even more.

So, Niu Bayi didn't say anything, just smiled, untied the iron chain binding him to the iron horse, and jumped onto the boat.

At this moment, another strange, eerie voice came from the long embankment.

"What skills does this kid have to catch such a big fish again?"

"He was just lucky yesterday. He encountered a low tide, and a rocky island might have emerged from the sea, covered with abalone. He jumped on it and got a bargain."

"But now the tide isn't receding anymore, so his luck can't last forever. If he manages to catch a few small fish and shrimp, he's lucky."

The person who said this was Chen Dagui.

He arrived as well, filled with jealousy and mockery, glaring at Niu Bayi through gritted teeth.

I wish I could rush over and have a big fight with him!
