Chapter 195: Don't Talk Nonsense, When Did My Sister Curse Anyone?
Zhou Bingqiang watched as the Zhou family's large ship headed towards the Pearl Island sea area, and he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
If Jiang Fu is fine and released, although he wrote the anonymous accusation report, there's no evidence to prove it was him, but if they suspect him, will he face retaliation?
Zhou Bingqiang's concern was justified, as Jiang Xia indeed suspected that they wrote the anonymous letter.
Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei, "Take the boat over to Zhou Guohua's side, I'll go and greet them."
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei sailed the boat over.
Zhou Bingqiang saw Jiang Xia's fishing boat approaching, and his heart tightened. Why is Zhou Chenglei coming over? Could he be planning to take advantage of this vast, deserted sea to do something?
People are like this; when they do something wrong, they easily become nervous and guilty.
As the large ship drew closer, Zhou Bingqiang became increasingly tense, and subconsciously looked around to see if there were any other fishing boats passing by.
But there weren't any!
After the boat pulled up, Jiang Xia stood on the large ship, looking down at him. She immediately noticed his tension.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Uncle Qiang, you're starting work so early in this area?"
Zhou Bingqiang glanced at Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan on the boat, feigning calmness and smiling, "Yes! You're here early too?"
Jiang Xia: "We returned to my father's house last night, and we're heading out to sea from the city pier today, so we're early."
Zhou Bingqiang smiled, "Oh, I see!"
Jiang Xia took another look at this area of the sea, "Uncle Qiang, when you rented this sea area, did you give any gifts?"
Zhou Bingqiang looked at Jiang Xia warily, "Of course not!"
Jiang Xia nodded, "That's good! Otherwise, don't get implicated."
Zhou Bingqiang's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean? What do you mean by implicated?"
Is she trying to settle a private grudge?
Jiang Xia said, "Let me tell you quietly, our application for the sea area went too smoothly, and someone got jealous! Fortunately, we followed the regulations, so we're fine. Uncle Qiang, your sea area was approved quickly too, just a few days after ours. If our family is investigated and such a situation arises, the relevant departments will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of all sea area approvals, and they won't let you off either. But as long as you also followed the regulations, didn't give gifts, and didn't violate any rules, then there's nothing to fear! Otherwise, you might implicate those who helped you. I wonder who got jealous and couldn't stand seeing others succeed, and reported them. Isn't that making you the heartless and merciless one?"
Zhou Bingqiang: "..."
"I... I didn't give any gifts!"
"Is that so? As long as you didn't give any, it's fine!"
Jiang Xia enjoyed watching Zhou Bingqiang's face change colors, and after she was done, she said, "Then, Uncle Qiang, you continue with your work! We should get to work too."
After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she called out to Zhou Chenglei, "Alei, I've greeted Uncle Qiang, let's go!"
Zhou Chenglei listened and sailed the boat away.
Jiang Xia finally felt relieved.
It's fine if they follow what her family does, but they even go as far as to use underhanded tactics and implicate those around her. That's unacceptable!
If they want to learn fish farming from her family, then let them learn properly.
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei, "You said you found a fish fry farm, if I call to order fish fry, when can they be delivered?"
This morning during breakfast, Jiang Fu asked Zhou Chenglei what kind of fish he planned to farm in the rented sea area.
Zhou Chenglei replied that he had already found a fish fry farm and ordered specialized fish cages and equipment. They just needed to wait for the equipment to be delivered and installed before they could start farming.
"I'll give them a call and they can deliver it in about three days."
Jiang Xia quickly did the math in her head and made up her mind.
Zhou Chenglei noticed the cunning glint in her eyes and knew she was up to something.
But he didn't ask.
Let her have her way.
Jiang Dong walked over and asked Jiang Xia, "Sis, was that person who just left the one who reported Dad?"
Jiang Xia: "I don't know."
Jiang Dong: "..."
"Didn't you call him heartless and merciless just now?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Don't talk nonsense! When did your sister ever curse at someone? She was clearly greeting him and kindly reminding him."
Jiang Dong: "..."
Both my sister and brother-in-law are right!
He decided to focus on the large ship instead! Zhou Bingqiang watched the departing ship with a hint of regret, as he had indeed sent a gift.
If his report caused trouble for the recipient, who would dare help him in the future?
Zhou Chenglei sailed to the vicinity of Pearl Island and stopped. He then put on his diving gear, preparing to jump into the sea to inspect the fish cages.
Jiang Dong: "Brother-in-law, when you come up, can I borrow your gear and try diving for the first time?"
Zhou Chenglei didn't respond and directly jumped into the water.
Jiang Dong turned to Jiang Xia: "Sis, ask Brother-in-law to lend me the gear. I've never tried diving to the sea bottom before!"
"No way. Don't even think about it, it's too dangerous." This time, Jiang Xia didn't agree.
Jiang Dong's swimming skills were unknown, and with the strong winds and waves today, Jiang Xia didn't feel at ease letting him dive.
Jiang Dong was speechless: "Sis, did you bring us out to sea just to look at the water?"
Jiang Xia: "There's also the blue sky, white clouds, sunrise, seagulls, and fish to see. And aren't I and Sister Fuyan beautiful enough for you to look at?"
Jiang Dong: "..."
Zhang Fuyan couldn't help but chuckle.
Jiang Dong decided to just enjoy the view of the sea!
His sister was becoming more shameless!
Fortunately, Zhou Chenglei resurfaced quickly. He had only gone down to check if the fish cages were secure.
Currently, the two cages combined housed over two hundred fish, all of which were lively and energetic.
In the cave, some abalone had crawled out, but the cave entrance had been sealed with an iron net by Zhou Fu and Zhou Chengxin, preventing anyone from entering to pry out the abalone.
These abalone were reserved for breeding.
After returning to the ship, Zhou Chenglei, considering that he had brought his brother-in-law and Zhang Fuyan out to sea, decided against trawling.
Trawling would be too boring for them.
Instead, Zhou Chenglei sailed to a calm beach near another town.
This beach was very gentle, and with the low tide, it was ideal for beach seining.
Of course, with only four people, they couldn't pull a real large net, but a smaller one would suffice.
After anchoring the ship, Zhou Chenglei jumped into the water first, then reached out to embrace Jiang Xia.
The large ship was anchored a bit deeper than the small boat, and the water was almost up to Zhou Chenglei's chest.
Jiang Xia jumped into Zhou Chenglei's embrace, getting her clothes wet.
Jiang Dong jumped off the boat and saw how his sister disembarked. He looked at Zhang Fuyan, hesitating on how to assist her.
Before he could decide, Zhang Fuyan had already jumped off the boat and swam to the beach, soaking her clothes.
But with the warm weather, it wasn't a problem. She could change on the boat later, as she had brought her luggage.
Zhou Chenglei carried Jiang Xia to the beach and said, "I'll get the fishing net from the boat. Today, let's try beach seining on this beach and experience the fun of traditional net pulling."
Jiang Xia asked curiously, "How do we do it?"
