Chapter 99: I’m Yun Jiao
Yun Jiao looked up at the boat and met the eyes of several soldiers wearing navy uniforms. She gave a pure and harmless smile.
Like the gentlest little white rabbit.
She had the orca hand the two children over to two soldiers.
“Take them back, I need to go back too.”
It was then that the soldiers came to their senses: “Who are you?”
“I’m Yun Jiao.”
Yun Jiao waved goodbye to them, leading a group of orcas and leaving majestically.
“Oh my goodness, did I just see a deity from the sea?”
“You can’t just say things like that.”
Although no one would care now, it hasn’t been that long, so you can’t just say things like that.
“Hurry and bring the children up, where is the military doctor? Come and check on these two children quickly.”
Fu Mingyu was groggy, and only after the figure in the sea disappeared and could no longer be seen did he pass out.
And at this time, Yun Jiao and the orcas, after searching for a period of time, finally swam to the sea area where their boat was located.
“Dad, Uncle, I’m back~”
She happily greeted the people on the boat.
“Look, I’ve brought back so many good things.”
The net bag was held by an orca. The two adults struggled to get the net bag onto the boat, and were astonished when they saw the harvest inside.
“Jiaojiao, you’re too capable. This makes your dad and me, your uncle, look very useless.”
The things Yun Jiao found alone in the sea were worth much more than everything they had caught all day.
In terms of quantity, Yun Jiao’s items couldn’t compare to the fish they had caught in nets, but in terms of quality, they couldn’t compare to Yun Jiao’s either.
Yun Jiao was pulled onto the boat and, upon hearing this, proudly lifted her chin.
“Can I support the family by myself?”
“Absolutely.”
The two adults graciously agreed.
However, they felt that Yun Jiao was at too much of a disadvantage.
“When we divide the family property, you can keep the money you earn from going to sea yourself. We are all young and strong, so why would we need you to support us? When we get old, Jiaojiao can support us then.”
Yun Jiao mimicked an adult’s tone: “We are family, so there’s no need for separate talk.”
“Hahaha… even as family, we have to separate things. In the future, your older brothers will keep the money they earn, and so will you.”
“Are we going to Grandma’s house tomorrow?”
Yun Linhai wiped her damp hair with a towel and held his daughter in his arms, speaking to her seriously: “Yes, tomorrow we’re going to your Grandma’s house to help with the corn harvesting. We’ll have to go again when it’s time to harvest the rice…”
Throughout the year, it was only during the farming season that the two families interacted frequently.
But usually, they went to the Shen Family Village because the Shen family didn’t live by the sea and had more land. During the busy farming season, the more people the better, so they could harvest the grain and bring it home with peace of mind.
Yun Jiao was too young before, so the Shen family didn’t bring her along during their busy farming seasons.
Now she is three years old, not very old, but she wants to go.
Yun Jiao put a towel on her head and began to sort out the things she had caught from the seabed.
“Take this to Grandma’s house, and this to Aunt’s house for Uncle and Aunt.”
She pulled out two lobsters.
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe’s teeth ached at the sight.
These two lobsters looked like they weighed two or three catties each and would sell for a lot of money.
“Jiaojiao…”
Yun Jiao covered her ears: “I won’t listen, I won’t listen…”
She wanted to be willful. The little one pouted her pink lips, crossed her arms, and frowned, looking very unhappy.
“I caught them, so I get to decide.”
The two adults: …
She also took out a large one: “We’ll eat this ourselves.”
If she could catch them, why couldn’t she eat well herself.
As for making money, she could catch more next time.
The little merman didn’t want to be wronged in her mouth.
Besides the spiny lobster, she also brought out many delicious shellfish, and insisted they were for their own consumption.
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe had no choice but to put these into a separate bucket.
As soon as their boat reached the dock, Awang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over.
“Brother Linhai, Brother Linhe, what good things have you brought this time?”
Yun Linhe directly showed him the items Yun Jiao had caught from the deep sea: “Give me a fair price, you decide.”
Awang’s eyes widened in surprise.
They hadn’t caught anything particularly large this time, but they had a lot of good goods.
“This… this is a spotted grouper, two large spotted groupers, and a red grouper, this is a green wrasse, hiss… so many big lobsters again…”
He was so envious just looking at it. These alone could earn a lot.
“Brother, I’ll buy your goods. I’ll definitely give you a fair price…”
Suddenly, a voice interjected from the side.
They looked over and saw another fishmonger, competing with Awang for business.
Awang’s expression immediately turned sour.
“Are you going to play by the rules or not? Why are you coming to snatch our business?”
“What rules? Aren’t all things from the sea first come, first served based on price?”
Yun Linhe smiled: “I’m sorry, brother, these are our own people. We sell all our goods to him.”
Awang immediately looked at Yun Linhe gratefully.
The fishmonger was unwilling: “Brothers count their own accounts, have you truly considered the higher price I’m offering?”
Awang’s face darkened: “Who said the price was low? Aren’t you disrupting the market like this?”
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe had no intention of changing sellers. Awang was honest, and he always gave them fair prices for the fish they sold. They didn’t need to jeopardize their relationship and offend someone for a small immediate profit.
Seeing that they were indeed not selling, the fishmonger had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
Awang’s mood wasn’t as good as before. He gritted his teeth and wanted to raise the price of their goods a bit.
After all, Yun Linhai and his family’s sea transport was truly excellent, always bringing back high-end seafood. Awang didn’t want to lose their business.
Yun Linhe patted his shoulder: “Just give us the usual price. As long as you don’t cheat us, we’ll sell all our goods to you. After all, we are like family, and we trust your character.”
Awang was immediately touched.
“Okay, brothers, don’t worry. I absolutely won’t cheat you.”
The goods sold this time brought in over four hundred, with over three hundred coming from the goods Yun Jiao caught in the deep sea.
Yun Jiao kept some for herself.
After returning home, when the other family members heard that Yun Jiao wanted to keep these items for herself and also bring some back to their maternal homes for the two women, they were moved but also felt it was wasteful. This was food, and eating it felt like a real heartache.
Yun Jiao was young, but very assertive: “I’ll catch more next time.”
“Money can always be earned, but don’t neglect your appetite.”
Everyone was amused by her. How could such a little one say such nonsensical things?
The Yun family was harmonious and joyful. On a secluded island not far away was the naval base of H City.
Because the human traffickers had fled to sea by boat, the local police station had to contact the local navy for help in apprehending them.
At this moment, Deputy Commander Zhao was reporting the mission summary to his superior.
Yun Jiao was mentioned during the report.
“What? You’re saying that little girl not only rode an orca in the sea but also commanded the orca to ram the traffickers’ boat?”
I took a day off yesterday because my period pain was too severe. I will continue updating today~
