Aunt Liu slapped her thigh in anger, "Who says otherwise? We also said that it's not easy to make money abroad when you don't know anyone! You've gone abroad and spent so much money, and you might not even be able to earn it back! There might even be danger!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, he went abroad right after being released from prison. Do you think Liu Fugui and Yang Lianhua would be willing to let him go?"
Aunt Liu replied, "I asked why, and Liu Xiangnan said that since Liu Xiangbei can make a lot of money and become a boss abroad, he can too! As for Liu Fugui and Yang Lianhua, they also confidently believed that if their youngest son could make money abroad, their eldest son could too!"
"It's not that I look down on Liu Xiangnan, but with his arrogant and lazy nature, he can't do well anywhere! Let alone abroad! Compared to Liu Xiangbei, he's far inferior!"
Liu Meilan asked, "Did you borrow it?"
Aunt Liu shook her head. "Originally, your second uncle thought it was perfectly reasonable for Liu Xiangnan to borrow some money to start a small business after he was released from prison! After all, there are a lot of people around the entertainment center now, and even selling balloons every day could make a lot of money! But when he heard Liu Xiangnan say he wanted to go abroad, your second uncle refused on the spot! He said our family has no money! He asked us for money, but we didn't get it. I guess he'll come to you in the future!"
Liu Meilan sneered, "It's not an estimate, it's a certainty! Don't I know him well enough?"
Aunt Liu sighed, "This man's time in jail was wasted; he didn't learn anything! If he works hard after he gets out, finds a job, or does some small business, he can make money. If he can't find a local wife, he can find one from out of town! Getting married and having children will be no problem at all."
"But he just can't see his own worth. He thinks that Liu Xiangbei used to work under him and had to be subservient to him! Now that Liu Xiangbei has gone abroad and made money overseas, he thinks he can do it too, and he's overestimating himself. If he can't borrow money from us, he'll come to you. You should be prepared for that!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "If he comes looking for trouble with me, I'll go and make trouble with Liu Xiangbei! How can he just walk away like that? Those are his biological parents, those are his own brother, why should he ignore them?"
“My identity and Liu Ruoshi’s have been switched, and they have inherited Liu Ruoshi’s estate! Liu Xiangbei’s start-up capital also came from these! He has no choice but to take care of it!”
Aunt Liu laughed, "You're a respectable person, you can't bring yourself to do those things! But Liu Xiangbei is a cunning kid, and he's got a lot of crooked ideas too, maybe his ideas are better than ours!"
"Yes!" Liu Meilan nodded. "He has to handle this!"
When the time came, another net was pulled up, and this net was full of deep-sea ribbonfish, which were quite large and of excellent quality!
After finishing all that, Liu Meilan went back to sleep!
Sister Chen and Aunt Liu had tidied up their place beforehand, making it clean and even spraying it with jasmine fragrance.
Lying on her small bed, Liu Meilan could feel the fishing boat rocking on the sea, just like being in a cradle, and she fell into a deep sleep.
As Liu Meilan slept, her consciousness seemed to detach from her body, rapidly traversing the depths of the ocean. That ethereal feeling made Liu Meilan want to immerse herself in it.
She slept soundly, and when Liu Meilan woke up, the sun was just rising, leaping out of the sea. The golden sunlight shone on her, giving her a golden glow.
The boatmen's chants were rhythmic and loud as Liu Meilan untangled the net.
Blue-spotted mackerel is a type of fish with excellent meat quality and price.
Everyone got back to their busy work, and after cleaning up, they ate breakfast.
Hot, thin noodles topped with fresh shrimp and crab, along with vegetables and scallops—a deluxe seafood noodle dish that leaves everyone feeling both satisfied and happy.
The proud fried dough sticks and side dishes are the best complement, making the whole breakfast luxurious and flavorful.
For a time, Liu Meilan forgot about her home. Except for occasionally thinking about her two children, she spent the rest of her time immersed in the joy of the ocean.
This kind of life lasted for 4 days.
Xu Kaifa spoke to Liu Meilan on the walkie-talkie, "Meilan, we're almost at the place we found before that's suitable for raising pearl oysters! Take a look through your binoculars, you can see those few black dots!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan picked up the binoculars hanging around her neck and looked over excitedly.
However, this was just for show; Liu Meilan's consciousness had already gone there! As expected of experienced boatmen and fishermen, the area here is very large, a huge basin.
The deepest part is no more than 50 meters, and most of it is around 30 meters deep! If it is at low tide, the deepest part is only 30 meters, and most of it is around ten meters deep.
Although there are gaps between the classrooms, the bottom is almost plate-shaped, with abundant aquatic plants, plankton, fish, and shrimp, making it indeed suitable for pearl farming.
"Stop the fishing boats and launch the motorboats. I'll go take a look myself!"
Xu Kaifa had been here before and was familiar with the area. He found a suitable spot to stop, checked the speedboat, and only launched it after confirming it was safe.
Liu Meilan and two boatmen boarded the speedboat and drove to the middle of that large area.
Liu Meilan took off her coat, revealing her diving suit underneath, and, carrying an oxygen tank, jumped in. Another boatman and a bodyguard did the same.
Because someone was following behind, Liu Meilan slowed down. If Liu Meilan were to go full speed, even the two people behind her combined wouldn't be able to catch up with her.
Five minutes later, Liu Meilan boarded the speedboat and asked it to take her to a more distant location. Half an hour later, it was confirmed that this was a suitable place for pearl farming.
After coming up, Sister Chen quickly brought a towel to wrap Liu Meilan's hair, saying, "The hot water is ready, Meilan, go take a shower."
"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded, the clothes were all ready, and she carried them into the bathroom.
There are really good places here. Liu Meilan plans to find several more places to raise pearls in the wild. Even if she can only harvest half of them, it would be excellent.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Liu Meilan searched day and night with her divine sense and found six suitable locations. However, she kept it a secret; the deed was done in secrecy and no one else could know.
Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Meilan really missed home and rushed back; by then, the fishing boat would be almost full.
Unexpectedly, the net they pulled up the night before they arrived home didn't contain many fish, but what they found inside left everyone speechless and terrified.
Upon seeing this, Sister Tang was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, exclaiming, "Oh my god, quickly go and call Meilan!"
Liu Meilan was reading a book in her room.
Sister Chen ran over, "Meilan, you have to go and see, it's terrifying!"
Liu Meilan looked puzzled. "What kind of monster did you catch?"
Sister Chen shook her head, her eyes filled with panic. "I'm not afraid of monsters. But we just pulled out a corpse with stones tied to it, it was terrifying!"
Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Are they from our country?"
"They haven't checked yet! They look like they're Asian, but we don't know if they're from our country," Mrs. Chen replied. "You should go and have them checked."
