Chapter 5 The Ship Hit the Reef

"Among all your brothers, you were the one who liked to wet the bed the most when you were a child."

"No way, I don't remember it at all."

"Hmph, one time you rode on my head to watch a show and peed all over me."

Chen Huiying saw the father and son chatting with a smile on their faces.

It seemed like she had returned to 22 years ago when Li Duoyu was just born. Although life was hard, the whole family was very happy, unlike now, when every day was a mess.

For Chen Huiying, money is important, but family harmony must be put first.

When she was cleaning up the dishes, there was a sudden commotion in the square, and a neighbor shouted:

"Something happened, something big happened."

"All the boats are back."

After hearing the noise.

Li Duoyu came to the courtyard and saw many villagers rushing towards the pier, with a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Dad, I'll go take a look."

After drinking half a catty of Maotai, Old Li was a little tipsy:

"Go ahead, your wine is too strong, I'm going to lie down for a while."

After arriving at the dock, Li Duoyu found that many villagers had gathered, and all the fishing boats that had gone out to sea to "take goods" had returned.

"Old Chen, what happened?"

Li Duoyu stepped forward and asked: "Didn't they go out to sea to take goods? Why did all the boats come back?"

After tying the rope, the captain Old Chen complained: "It's really bad luck today. I didn't see any big ships, but all of them were anti-smuggling ships shouting with loud speakers."

"Did you see Agui's boat?"

"There were so many ships. After finding the anti-smuggling ship, everyone ran away. How could I know where he went?"

Li Duoyu looked around the dock and didn't find Agui's fishing boat. This made him a little worried. He might run into the anti-smuggling ship and be scared to jump into the sea again.

At this time.

A young woman with short hair and a bitter face looked at Li Duoyu in surprise.

"Duoyu, why are you here? Didn't Agui go out to sea with you?"

After seeing this young woman.

Li Duoyu's emotions instantly came up, and his face fell on the spot. Although these were all things in the previous life, for him, they were all real.

This young woman is Agui's wife, named Zhang Meiying.

In the previous life, because of being slandered and reported by this woman, he was finally used as a model and spent five years in prison.

Faced with this crazy and completely unreasonable woman, Li Duoyu decided to stay away from her and didn't want to have anything to do with her.

"I have something to do today, Agui went with someone else."

"Before, didn't you two go together?"

"I don't ship goods now."

Zhang Meiying was a little surprised. Li Duoyu, who always shouted about shipping goods to make a lot of money, seemed like a different person today.

Li Duoyu waited at the dock for more than two hours.

Almost all the fishing boats that went out of Dandan Island came back, but Agui's small motorboat still didn't come back.

This made him a little uneasy.

When he looked at Zhang Meiying not far away, he happened to find that she was staring at him, her face as cold as ice, as if she was blaming Li Duoyu for not going out to sea with Agui.

Until one o'clock in the morning.

Li Duoyu stopped and heard the "thump thump thump" sound of the diesel engine, and a tilted motor sailboat slowly entered the island's shelter.

After seeing the people on the boat clearly.

The stone hanging in Li Duoyu's heart was finally put down, and Zhang Meiying's icy face finally cleared up a little.

After Agui fixed the fishing boat at the dock.

Seeing that all the fishing boats on the island had returned, he could not help but curse at Xiao Hei who went out to sea with him:

"Damn it, I brought you out to make money, it's really unlucky for eight lifetimes, not only did I not make any money, I also have to go to repair the boat."

"You can't drive a boat, just tell me earlier, why are you pretending to be a big shot, and you broke a hole in my boat."

It turned out that after Li Duoyu rejected Agui, he asked Xiao Hei to go out to sea to transport goods, but Xiao Hei was not familiar with the sea route for the first time, and he ran aground not long after going out to sea.

The boat ran aground directly, and the two waited until high tide before driving the boat back.

After Agui scolded Xiao Hei.

Looking at Li Duoyu on the dock, he continued to complain.

"Brother, if you went out to sea with me tonight, you wouldn't have encountered such bad luck."

And Agui had just finished complaining.

A boat captain happened to pass by and said to Agui:

"Agui, you have to thank Xiao Hei tonight. If he hadn't driven the boat onto the reef, you might have been the first to hit the anti-smuggling boat if you ran so fast."

Agui was stunned.

"No way, there really is an anti-smuggling team today?"

The boat captain snorted coldly: "If there is no anti-smuggling ship, why did we come back so early? We should have unloaded the goods in the town earlier. Today, Boss Lu and Old Zhang were arrested, and the boat was detained. I don't know how long they will be sentenced."

Agui blinked, then put his hands together, and bowed in the direction of the temple on the island: "Thank you for blessing me, thank you for blessing me, thank you Mazu for blessing me."

Then he looked at Li Duoyu with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect your uncle to be so well-informed. It's actually true."

Agui came up with a smile and put his arm around Li Duoyu's shoulder:

"Your uncle should have a good relationship with the anti-smuggling team. When can you introduce him to me? By the way, did your uncle say when the anti-smuggling team will come out next time?"

Li Duoyu pushed Agui's hand away and frowned and said:

"My uncle said that from today on, the anti-smuggling team will take real action and will not stop until no one can take the goods away."

"Brother, you are not kidding me, are you?"

"Do you think I am kidding you?"

Li Duoyu felt that their relationship was almost over. Because of what happened in his previous life, he really didn't want to deal with this family anymore.

Once a person becomes rich.

Many things will begin to change.

The Agui in front of him is no longer the young man who played with him back then.

And there was such a moment just now.

Li Duoyu felt that if Agui really got into trouble, his wife might really blame him for not going out to sea with him, and might even report him again.

For Li Duoyu.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was just making trouble, but she was not a bad person. After all, dogs that bark generally don't bite people.

But Agui's wife is just a cruel word.

However, after the turmoil of this night, the fishermen of Dandan Island did not take the surprise inspection of the anti-smuggling ship tonight seriously.

Still waiting for the new big ship.

When Li Duoyu passed by two boat bosses who got off the boat to smoke, he happened to hear their conversation.

"I heard that you can get more things by exchanging cultural relics, which are much more valuable than Yuan Datou."

"Is it true?"

"Not long ago, I heard that someone exchanged a Buddha head for an imported car."

"It's so valuable. If that's true, I'll also go to the mainland to collect some cultural relics."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh.

In the early 1980s, most people didn't understand the use of cultural relics. Everyone was afraid of poverty and wanted to live a rich life.

For them.

A Buddha head can be exchanged for a car, which is simply a pie in the sky.

But who would have thought that after decades, hundreds of cars might not be able to exchange this Buddha head back.

If I remember correctly, starting from today, the country has sent a special team to combat smuggling to Rongcheng, preparing to fight a protracted war to stop this crooked trend.

And around 1984, the channel of open shipping at sea will be completely suppressed.

By then, the price of Yuan Datou will plummet.

Li Duoyu felt that the right thing to do was to find a time to sell the more than one hundred Yuan Datou coins he had.
