Chapter 163 Zhang 3 got beaten up

Ahead lay a small fishing village. Qin Yingxue and Qin Dahe exchanged a glance, fearing that the Bai brothers would be bullied by the villagers, and quickly ran forward.

As expected, Bai Haijian was surrounded by a group of people, with Xiao Haifeng protected behind him.

"What happened? What do you want?" Qin Dahe pushed through the crowd and stood next to Bai Haijian, staring at the others.

Qin Yingxue followed closely behind, looked the Bai brothers up and down, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were alright.

"We just want to check on Haijian." One of the fishermen said with a fawning smile to Qin Yingxue and Qin Dahe, "Haijian's fishing boat is gone, isn't it? We'd like to invite him to go out to sea with us."

"Yes, we really just meant well, we didn't mean anything by it."

“We’re all from the same small fishing village after all. Haijian lost his fishing boat because he was looking for people, and we feel bad about it…”

Everyone chimed in, one after another, making a racket that made my ears ring.

"Is that really true?" After his initial surprise, Qin Dahe looked at Bai Haijian and asked.

Bai Haijian's expression wasn't very good, but he still nodded to Qin Dahe.

Qin Yingxue felt the problem wasn't so simple. After searching for a while and not finding the village chief, she asked, "Does the village chief know what you're doing?"

Qin Yingxue's words seemed to have choked everyone, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions varied.

Qin Yingxue immediately understood and a cold smile appeared on her face.

But remembering Song Yanchuan's instructions last night, he could only suppress his anger and said with a forced smile, "Thank you all for your kind intentions, but I have something to discuss with Haijian, so please excuse me."

After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she pulled the Bai brothers toward the small fishing village.

Qin Dahe quickly followed.

Halfway there, Qin Yingxue slowed down. Seeing Bai Haijian with his lips tightly pursed and looking somewhat dejected, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? How did you get surrounded by them? Where's Yang Weijun?"

Before Bai Haijian could answer, Xiao Haifeng blurted out, "Brother Yang went to the dock to sell seafood. My brother and I went to find him, but we were stopped by the uncles and elders in the village on the way."

Qin Yingxue reacted instantly.

Because Bai Haijian's fishing boat was gone, and because she had been busy these past two days, she didn't let Zhang San come out.

Yang Weijun only picked up small fish and shrimp from the beach; for the smaller pieces, he had to go to the pier to find individual tourists.

It seems that buying a fishing boat needs to be put on the agenda.

Back at the Bai family home, I saw a simple meal of two dishes and a soup on the table, with multigrain steamed buns as the staple food.

There was no meat on the table, just a stir-fried cucumber, a stir-fried water spinach, and a tomato and egg soup.

Qin Yingxue felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

She knew that Bai Haijian had come from a poor background, and now that he had lost his fishing boat, he was extremely frugal, trying to save every penny.

"Brother Bai, I heard that you were surrounded by the fishermen in the small fishing village. Did they make things difficult for you?" Yang Weijun ran back from outside, not even catching his breath, and asked anxiously.

Upon running into the house and seeing Qin Yingxue and Qin Dahe, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight, "Auntie, Uncle Qin..."

Qin Dahe nodded to Yang Weijun.

Qin Yingxue felt a mix of emotions when she saw that the fish and shrimp in Yang Weijun's wooden bucket were still there.

It seems that after a year of getting to know each other, Yang Weijun has come to regard the Bai brothers as his own family.

"I'm fine. You're back just in time. I've finished cooking. Wash your hands and eat." Bai Haijian said to Yang Weijun with a gentle expression.

"Okay." Yang Weijun nodded obediently and went to wash his hands.

"Auntie, Uncle Qin, would you like to eat something with me?" Bai Haijian looked at the meager food on the table and felt a little embarrassed.

"We've already eaten, so you guys eat. I have something to discuss with you after we're done," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Bai Haijian asked quickly when he heard that Qin Yingxue wanted to see him.

"You guys eat first, there's no rush," Qin Yingxue explained after thinking for a moment. "It's a good thing."

Upon hearing Qin Yingxue's words, not only Bai Haijian but even Qin Dahe became curious: "Little sister, what good news is it?"

Seeing Qin Dahe causing trouble, and then glancing at the Bai brothers who were looking at her expectantly, and Yang Weijun who had just returned after washing his hands, Qin Yingxue smiled before asking, "Your Uncle Song told me last night to come and ask you about the fishing boat. Are you planning to buy one? Or rent one first...?"

“Bai Haijian and I have already discussed this matter. Since my second brother and I are going to stay here and we’ll need to buy a fishing boat sooner or later, why don’t we go and buy another old fishing boat from Boss Zhang?”

Qin Dahe chimed in from the side.

"You've already discussed it?" Qin Yingxue asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, we were chatting about this while we were on the deserted island with nothing to do,” Bai Haijian said somewhat embarrassedly. “But in the end, we still have to trouble Boss Zhang.”

Qin Yingxue smiled: "Boss Zhang is also making money, so he's naturally happy to have you patronize his business. What's your budget?"

“Last time, when I went out to sea with my second brother and Bai Haijian, we earned a thousand yuan. Plus, I had two hundred yuan with me, so we had a total of twelve hundred yuan.” Qin Dahe said, looking at Bai Haijian.

“I can take out two thousand yuan,” Bai Haijian said without hesitation.

Qin Yingxue was somewhat surprised, and Qin Dahe looked at Bai Haijian in utter shock: "You only went out to sea to fish for a year, and not only did you build a new house and buy a fishing boat, you even have two thousand yuan..."

But when I thought about how I and my second brother earned a thousand yuan on one trip to sea, I didn't find it surprising that I had two thousand yuan in savings.

Qin Dahe was filled with passion. Once he bought the fishing boat, he would work hard to fish and earn lots of money.

The total is three thousand two hundred dollars, which is one thousand two hundred dollars more than the two thousand dollars I spent on the fishing boat last time.

The subsidy should still be provided; we should think about it carefully when we get back.

"Does Boss Zhang know that I've lost my fishing boats? He hasn't come over for the past two days." Bai Haijian suddenly asked.

"Could something else have delayed you..." Qin Yingxue's face stiffened, and she quickly tried to cover it up.

"He won't stop coming, will he?" Qin Dahe suddenly became anxious.

Qin Yingxue looked at Qin Dahe speechlessly.

Her third brother is always causing her trouble.

Qin Yingxue released Zhang San without making a sound.

If he doesn't come out soon, my impatient third brother will say anything.

But after waiting for half an hour, Zhang San still hadn't appeared.

Qin Yingxue was puzzled; this shouldn't be the case!

Logically speaking, five minutes should be enough for the Bai family to appear.

Could it be that Zhang San got lost?

"Brother Bai, Mr. Zhang, who buys your seafood, was beaten up on the beach..."

Just as Qin Yingxue was about to use her mind to see, she suddenly heard a child's voice coming from outside.
