Chapter 299 Feng Shui Treasure Land
"Oh, I'll ask your brother then." Seeing that his boat had already been booked, Agen had to settle for the next best thing and talk to Brother Li and others about buying the boat.

The seafood business is good this year, fish prices are rising, and more and more people are renting tidal flats for aquaculture. Second-hand fishing boats are hard to buy, and boats that are well known and have never had any accidents are even harder to buy.

As soon as the ship owner who knows the details spreads the word, several families will immediately come to inquire about the news.

At this time, Brother Li and Brother Li II also came over carrying plastic buckets. Agen talked to the two brothers for a few words and then walked back together.

The fishing boat of Brother Li and Brother Li II was bought only a month ago. It cost them 580 yuan to buy the boat, and a total of 900 yuan including the modification.

Brother Li took out the list and showed it to Agen. The three of them sat down and talked for a while, then he took Agen to the dock to see the fishing boats.

After Agen left, Chen Yongwei asked Li Changle, "Brother, does Brother Afa want our boat?"

"How do you know?"

"I heard from my grandmother that the two brothers Afa were not happy about their partnership, and Afa's wife and his sister-in-law had a quarrel a few days ago."

"What do you think is a reasonable price to sell our boat for?" Li Changle was glad that An Nan and her two sisters-in-law were broad-minded and not narrow-minded or petty.

"We are all good brothers, just do as you wish."

Li Changle rolled his eyes, "It's useless to ask you."

"Hey!" Chen Yongwei pushed his bicycle, "I'm going to go back and take a nap. I'll meet you guys at the intersection tomorrow morning."

"Let's go back!" Li Changle washed his face and went back to the house. He took out the account book and took a look. The money spent on buying the boat plus repairs and modifications was more than 700 yuan, which was 200 yuan cheaper than his eldest brother's boat.

He thought about the price his second brother had just offered, which was nine hundred, and estimated that the final transaction price would not be lower than eight hundred and sixty. He would talk to Anan later, and he would not make money from Afa and would just sell it to him at the original price.

Li Changle made up his mind to put the account book away and fell asleep. When Zhou Ruonan woke him up, he found that it was already dark.

"It's so late? Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"Mother said you guys have been up all night for a few nights, so my sister-in-law and I shouldn't wake you up, so you can have a good rest."

She came once after get off work. When she pushed the door open, she heard him snoring. She didn't sleep well at night, and no matter how much sleep she did during the day, she couldn't make up for it.

She felt distressed when she thought that they had to go out to sea in the early morning these days.

Li Changle stretched and said, "I have slept for more than three hours. I am full."

"I heard that Uncle Dong is going to be the village party secretary?"

"Yes! Secretary Wang was taken away for questioning and has not returned today."

"It's good for Uncle Adong to be the village party secretary. Our two families are in-laws, and my father has a good relationship with him. It's good for our family if he becomes the village party secretary."

Zhou Ruonan handed him the torn cloth and said, "I have torn the cloth. You can deliver it to them after dinner. You can't let them help you for nothing."

Although the two families are related by marriage, this is the reality of society. Apart from your parents who will help you regardless of gains and losses, no outsider will give you advice or speak for you unless they have some benefits.

Li Changle took the cloth and put it aside. "Oh, my wife knows these things?"

"I'm not a rich girl, I don't even understand the ways of the world." Zhou Ruonan thought of the most difficult time for her family, "You were useless before. If Dad hadn't asked Uncle Dong to help find a job, life would have been even more difficult for our family."

Li Changle awkwardly reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Wife, I was wrong before, but I have changed. Look how hardworking I am now!"

Zhou Ruonan hugged his thin waist and said softly, "I just said that, I'm not bringing up the past."

"My wife is the most reasonable one." Li Changle held her face and leaned forward to kiss her.

"Stop it!" Zhou Ruonan supported his chest and pushed him out, "We are all waiting for us to eat!"

Li Changle held her tightly and said, "Then if you promise to sleep on the floor at night, I won't make a fuss."

Zhou Ruonan's pretty face flushed, and she pinched the soft flesh on his waist, "Nutty guy!"

"Hiss~" Li Changle grabbed her wrist with a grin, "Wife, are you murdering your husband?"

"I won't pay any attention to you if you keep making trouble."

"Okay, I won't make a fuss!" Li Changle let go of her and straightened his shirt. Zhou Ruonan followed him out. "I heard from my sister-in-law that Ah Fa wants our boat?"

Li Changle nodded, "Brother, how much did they sell their boat for?"

"My sister-in-law said it was sold for 888."

It’s pretty much the same as he estimated!

Li Changle turned around and said, "An Nan, our boat has been used for a longer time than Big Brother and his friends, so we will sell it to Ah Fa at the original price. What do you think?"

Zhou Ruonan thought that it would be good as long as she didn't lose money, "The original price is fine, you'd better discuss it with Awei." Li Changle shrugged, "The guy said we are all good brothers, let me decide."

"Then you can do whatever you want!"

During the meal, Li's father told a few people that three or four groups of people came to look at the residential land in the afternoon, and two families even asked whether their family had really bought a big boat.

Someone even asked them if they had approved the land for the scaffolding. He said that the land next to his house was a good place for Feng Shui, and they had earned the money for the boat not long after they approved the land.

"After we come back from testing the boat tomorrow, there will definitely be more people looking at the residential land." Li Changle didn't expect that buying a big boat would make people associate this piece of land with a Feng Shui treasure land.

"We've only put up the scaffolding for a few days, and someone's already come to see the homestead. Isn't that a waste of our work?"

"Yes, with this piece of land, it's much more convenient for us to dry goods." Zhou Ruonan looked at Li Changle, "Ah Le, ask Uncle Dong later if we can buy it?"

"Sure!" Li Changle swallowed the food in his mouth. "I talked to Uncle Adong, and he said that buying land is different from approving a residential plot. The land next to our house costs five or six hundred yuan to buy."

Father Li was relieved to see that he had already made plans. "No one looked at it before, but now someone has come to see it. If someone specifically wants this piece of land, you, Uncle Dong, can't refuse to give it to them. Go buy it after dinner."

"Eat and go."

Li Changle put down the bowl, went back to the house to get the money, picked up the cloth, cakes and old wine and went to Accountant Chen's house.

The old couple were sitting in the store listening to the radio. When Lin Fuzhen saw him coming in with something, she stood up with a smile on her face and said, "Ah Le is here, come in and sit down."

She was now extremely satisfied with Li Changle, and felt that this brat was a reasonable guy, unlike those honest guys in the village who were reluctant to even buy a pack of better cigarettes when asking someone to do something for them.

Li Changle put down the basket. "Uncle Dong, Auntie, and my mother-in-law bought some cakes and old wine to thank you for helping Anan get a permanent job. Anan bought two pieces of serge in Lucheng to make winter clothes for you and Auntie."

Lin Fuzhen's eyes lit up when she saw the material. She picked up a piece and found it was still a little heavy. "Oh! Old man, feel this material. It's really good. Look how densely it is woven. The color is beautiful too."

What a shallow-skinned old woman!
Accountant Chen gave her a sidelong look. Lin Fuzhen put down the cloth awkwardly and stood aside.

Li Changle smiled and handed a cigarette to Accountant Chen. "Anan bought this at the black market in Lucheng. It's much cheaper than in town or at the department store. I bought one for each of my family members."

Accountant Chen took the cigarette from Li Changle and glared at him in reproach. "No matter how cheap it is, it's still more than ten yuan a meter. Why spend money on this? Your aunt and I have clothes to wear!"

He liked Li Changle's personality: she was smart, knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was willing to listen to others.

"What's yours is yours. What we bought to honor you was bought by us." Li Changle smiled and stuffed the material into his arms. "If you want to feel sorry for me, just give me a lower price for the land."

"You're so stingy! You only got over 900 yuan in compensation, which is more than enough to buy the land." Accountant Chen rolled his eyes at him, handed the materials to his wife who had been itching to try them, waved at her and asked her to bring in the cakes and wine.

Lin Fuzhen said politely: "Ah Le, please sit down. Auntie is coming in."

"Okay, Auntie." Li Changle took a match and lit his cigarette. "Uncle Adong, you don't know that my brothers and I only raised money to buy a boat, and Nanshan Valley became a Feng Shui treasure land..."

Accountant Chen pulled a stool over to him and said, "You've only been working for two months, and you've already bought the first 20-meter-long iron boat in Shatou Village. How can this not arouse envy?"

"Uncle Dong, we know our own business." Li Changle cried out in poverty with a bitter face, "The four of us have emptied our savings to jointly buy a big ship, but we still lack a lot of money.

We had not originally planned to buy it, but my mother-in-law said that small boats were not safe, so she emptied her family savings to lend me a few thousand dollars. Uncle Kun, the manager of the restaurant, also helped us, and only then did we buy the boat.

My brothers and I are in a lot of debt now, so we work day and night to pay off the debt as soon as possible."

Accountant Chen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "People don't care about you that much, they just see that your family is building a new house and replacing a big ship.

Lai Dadu is almost jealous. He came back from the police station today and kept saying that your sea area is full of good stuff and you are making a fortune every day. "

Li Changle understood that he was reminding her that she had been too popular in the past two months and had attracted the jealousy of villains. "That bastard is not a good person! I shouldn't have written a letter of apology to him and let his Lai Bao stay in prison for a few years."

Accountant Chen glanced at him and said, "With Lai Bao's character, it would be good for his family if he was kept in prison for two years."

Li Changle gave him a thumbs up, "Old people are always wise!"

Country people often say that they would rather believe that a widow can stay a widow than believe that a gambler can quit gambling, let alone someone like Lai Bao who has been a gambler since he was a teenager.

"Stop flattering me!" Accountant Chen knocked him on the forehead. "I'm telling you, three groups of people came this afternoon to ask about the Nanshan residential land. If you don't pay the money, I'll approve the land for you."

"I'm really poor. If I hadn't gotten more than 900 today, I wouldn't have had the money to buy the land." Li Changle cried poor while taking out a few bundles of big unity from his bag. "Five hundred dollars, can you count it?"

Accountant Chen took it, counted it, put on his reading glasses, opened the drawer and gave him a receipt. "I'll have someone measure the homestead tomorrow. It's best to get the red book to save trouble later."

"Uncle Dong, I'm going to test the boat tomorrow. Can you please take my dad to get the red book? Can you also remind him of the favors he should give?"

"Don't I know your father?" Accountant Chen said with a smile, "How could your father, who is such an honest man, raise a smooth-talking guy like you?"

"How could that be? I'm as honest as my father!" Li Changle talked to him for a while before saying goodbye and going home.
