Chapter 196:
Fish… fish affinity?
Sun Yaotong’s mouth twitched upon hearing Yun Linhai’s words.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed to make perfect sense.
He cleared his throat: “I don’t think that dolphin carrying the bracelet came from very far away. It’s highly likely it’s from the nearby sea area, so I want to cooperate with you. I’ll be responsible for the boat and equipment, and you’ll be responsible for finding the sunken ship and salvaging it. Diving should be okay, right?”
Yun Linhai replied, “My brother and I can hold our breath for six to seven minutes in the sea, but the water pressure down there is too great, so we can’t go too deep.”
Sun Yaotong said, “How about this, I’ll get you wetsuits and oxygen tanks to try out. The fewer people who know about this, the better, otherwise, trouble can easily arise.”
Greed can stir people’s hearts, and I fear that if word gets out, someone might risk diving to the seabed to search without diving equipment, which could lead to death.
I’m even more afraid that someone might play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, only for the oriole to come from behind and rob them after they salvage the contents of the sunken ship; that would also be dangerous.
“As for whether to cooperate, that depends on you.”
Sun Yaotong leaned towards cooperating with the Yun family.
To be honest, faced with such potential wealth, Yun Linhai and his brothers were also incredibly tempted.
Yun Linhe, who was a bit bolder, slammed the table.
“Deal, we’ll cooperate, but this season isn’t suitable for going out to sea. We’ll have to wait until spring when the weather is better.”
Sun Yaotong nodded: “That’s no problem. I can use this time to prepare the boat and equipment, and you can also practice your diving skills wearing the wetsuits and oxygen tanks.”
The matter was thus settled, and afterwards, Sun Yaotong and Wang Jianlin prepared to leave.
Sun Yaoqin was extremely reluctant, holding Yun Jiao and looking pitiful.
“Sister, can you really not come home with me? I don’t want to be separated from you.”
Yun Xiaowu and his older brothers: …………
They pulled Yun Jiao back.
“Jiaojiao is our sister, she’s not going home with you.”
“Hurry up and go.”
Yun Jiao was pulled back and forth between them.

“Sister Qin, you go back first. I’ll come to see you in the future.”
Yun Jiao naturally wanted to stay with her own family.
Finally, Sun Yaoqin left with reluctance.
Back inside, everyone was still looking at the large gold bracelet.
The allure of the large gold bracelet was too captivating.
“Mom, why don’t you try on Jiaojiao’s bracelet?”
Granny Yun chuckled: “I’ve tried it on, I’ve tried it on, it looks beautiful.”
“It’s a shame it’s too flashy to wear out now, otherwise, if you wore this and stood among that group of old women, you’d be the most stunning.”
Yun Jiao agreed with a nod.
Granny Yun said, “I’m so old, why would I wear this? I’ll keep it for Jiaojiao, and when she grows up, she can wear it.”
Yun Jiao blinked, so it was being kept for her.
She looked at her mother and aunt.
“When Jiaojiao finds the sunken ship, I’ll get pretty gold bracelets for Mom and Aunt too.”
Her words made the two women in the family grin from ear to ear.
Yun Linhe feigned sadness: “Jiaojiao only thinks of your mother and aunt, not your father or your Uncle and me.”
Yun Jiao waved her little hand: “Here, for Dad, Uncle, Grandpa, and all the older brothers, big gold chains.”
“Pfft…”
Imagining the scene of them wearing big gold chains around their necks was quite amusing.
“Hahaha… then we thank Jiaojiao.”
Of course, everyone now only treated this conversation as a way to amuse a three-year-old child like Yun Jiao, and after that night, they completely forgot about it.
Although the Wang family had left, they had also left behind some small troubles.
Cai Jinhua’s family and the Zhou family, having heard that Wang Jianlin had some relationship with them, came to beg for their help, seeing their family members arrested.
Yun Daneng’s parents, the two elders, brought their grandson and granddaughter, along with the people from the Zhou family who hadn’t been arrested, also bringing their entire families, blocked their doorway early in the morning.
Their originally good mood was instantly replaced by a feeling that the air was tainted with the smell of feces.
“Yun Mu, we have so many children in our family, what will we do without parents? You have a good relationship with that leader, please go and speak to the leader to release my Da Neng and Jinhua.”
“Comrade Yun, our family has old people and young children, and we rely on those young and strong to work to support so many people. Please, have mercy and speak to that leader to release them.”
At this moment, the entire Yun Linhai family felt the same sense of frustration that the Yun Dafu family had experienced when they were subjected to moral kidnapping.
Wang Mei was more spirited, holding a broom and standing at the doorway: “What relationship do we have with that leader? Even if we did, you committed a crime yourselves and still want us to help get people out; what a joke.
I’ve truly opened my eyes today. You are all shamelessly asking for help, I’m telling you not to bother asking that leader, don’t even think about your matters, absolutely not!”
Yun Daneng’s parents put on a pitiful act: “We can’t go on living. Without our son and daughter-in-law, how can we two old people raise so many children? It would be better if we two old ones took the children and died.”
“It’s a shame we’re all from the same village, it’s just a matter of asking someone to speak. How can you be so heartless!”
The Zhou family also started shouting: “Heavens, we can’t live on…”
Granny Yun looked disgusted: “If you want to die, go die outside. Such bad luck.”
“Xiaowu, quickly go call the village chief.”
Old Master Yun’s face was stern; he had no intention of showing any respect to Yun Daneng’s family now.
What kind of immoral deeds had they committed?
“Communicating with the leader to let them go is impossible. They broke the law and must bear the consequences. If you continue to make such a scene, we will directly report you to the police station.”
These people had gone all out; they were already shameless and were using all sorts of tactics like throwing tantrums, moral kidnapping, and playing the victim.
Even though it had nothing to do with Yun Jiao’s family, they insisted that they should manage it.
Yun Jiao hugged Da Hei, her small eyes looking cold.
Should she let Da Hei bite someone?
They were just too annoying.
Just then, Granny Yuan, who was always meddling, arrived.
“We are all neighbors. Their families are so pitiful, if you can lend a hand, please help them. Bodhisattvas will remember your kindness, and you’ll be reborn into a good family in your next life.”
Granny Yun was disgusted by her demeanor.
“If you feel they are so pitiful, why don’t you go and be their beast of burden? What good is just talking? Although you’re a bit old, a bit lacking in discernment, a bit ungrateful, and a bit cheap, you’re so full of love, why don’t you go help them take care of the elders and children? It would even be fine to help those who broke the law and are in jail. As for Bodhisattvas, even Bodhisattvas wouldn’t bother with you; if you’re so capable, do you want to ascend to heaven?!”
Wang Mei and Shen Yunlian widened their eyes and all gave their mother-in-law a thumbs-up.
Mother-in-law, please say more if you’re willing!
Granny Yun, who usually didn’t show off, was once a young lady from a wealthy family who managed to survive the famine; she certainly had her own temper and sharp wit.
