Chapter 286 Something's Wrong with Your Grandpa
Zhou Yue'e sneered: "You can still shamelessly say that she is a weak woman."
Seeing that they were not getting any benefit, but unwilling to go back like this.
Meanwhile, the bluish-gray night sky still hung over the sea, and dozens of fishing boats slowly returned, enveloped in a salty mist.
The rough hemp sails, soaked by the sea breeze, were half-rolled up, and the tung oil-coated wooden hull was somewhat mottled from being worn down by the waves. Fishing nets, dripping with water, still hung from the gunwales.
It was obvious that they had only recently stopped working.
The lead fishing boat sounded its conch shell horn, followed by a series of horn calls, the low, mournful sounds suddenly piercing the silence before dawn.
The sound of conch shells skimmed across the sea, startling a large flock of dozing seabirds.
"It's a bugle call!"
Xu Anyang listened attentively.
“My father must be back.”
Xu Pinghai's conch shell blasts a rhythmic sound every time he returns to Hong Kong, a sound that probably only he and his son can understand.
Xu Anyang suddenly remembered something and said confidently, "My father has returned, so my uncle and the others will definitely return as well."
Ships from within the tribe typically set sail and returned to port in batches.
That's why Xu Anyang said it with such certainty.
"Why don't you two run? If we wait for our sister Yi's grandfather to come back, it won't be as simple as just giving you a few slaps." Xu Anyang said gloatingly.
After all, Grandpa Xu was known for his bad temper on the island.
Apart from a few elders who are still alive, anyone who angers him will get a beating.
Grandma Xu probably understands this all too well.
Uncle said nonchalantly, "Before the fishing boats dock, arrange a boat to take them off the island."
Zhou Yue'e was very unhappy.
She hasn't even seen the money yet, so hasn't she made a wasted trip?
After a while.
"If you don't want to leave, that's fine too. I'll keep arguing with you."
Xu Yiyi had already taken Wu Yuan into her arms.
The little guy probably sensed the malice emanating from Zhou Yue'e and Xu Yaozu, and nestled in her arms, making faces at her.
Her rosy cheeks tightened, and her cheeks became round and bulging as if she were holding two balls of air in her mouth.
His lychee-shaped eyes were wide and round, with the corners slightly upturned, giving him a "little adult" intimidating aura.
His face was all scrunched up like a little bun.
It was incredibly funny.
Xu Mingde couldn't help but remind him, "You haven't spent time with Uncle Yong, so you probably don't know, but he really doesn't have a good temper."
Zhou Yue'e naturally knew that Xu Guining had spoken ill of many people to him.
The person he talked about most was his father, who had driven him off the island more than ten years ago.
Just as he was hesitating, Ah Da burst out laughing.
"I think it's too late, people are starting to get off the fishing boats..."
The fishing boats from the village return to the island first, and then go to the dock to process their catch.
"Mother, let's go."
Xu Yaozu admitted defeat and has been acting like a tyrant in the Xu family these past few days.
But he had heard his second uncle's son, Xu Yizhi, say that when his grandfather came back, he would tell his grandfather to beat them to death.
I didn't think much of it at first.
But now that everyone's talking so exaggeratedly, how can he not be afraid?
Er'er said gloatingly, "It's really too late."
Because Xu Anyang had already left the crowd and happily went to find the person.
Grandpa Xu's face, tanned dark by the sun, was deeply lined with wrinkles, and his gray eyebrows, like two inverted knives, added to his fierce appearance.
As soon as everyone saw him, they consciously made way for him in the middle of the road.
Xu Zhengci and Xu Mingzai's two wives immediately retreated to the back, afraid of being implicated.
Although they themselves were not beaten, they had witnessed their husbands and mothers-in-law being beaten.
“Ah Yong…”
Grandma Xu had a fawning smile on her face. She was about to tell him not to beat the man too badly, otherwise there would be no one to take care of her fourth son later.
Before I could even speak.
Zhou Yue'e was kicked and fell to the ground, while Xu Yaozu was slapped across the face.
The movements were clean, swift, and ruthless.
Sihai and Sanchuan lived close by and witnessed Xu Yaozu being beaten.
The moment the slap landed, he arched his back like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Her face, already flushed, suddenly turned a deep purple, and she let out a sharp scream.
"pain--"
Xu Yiyi saw Grandpa Xu and immediately carried Wu Yuan into the house.
The child was startled by the noise and instinctively snuggled closer to his older sister.
"Oh! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your big sister is here. Let me pat your fur, you're not scared..."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, she stroked the child's round head.
It took a while to calm him down.
"Want to die? I'll grant your wish."
Xu Yong stared intently into Zhou Yue'e's eyes with a sinister gaze.
Xu Yiyi saw this moment as soon as she came out.
Grandpa Xu's eyes seemed even more fierce after this trip at sea.
She instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"No, no, no... I don't want to."
Zhou Yue'e pulled her son back, clearly terrified.
Having been hit, neither of them dared to stay any longer.
They packed their things and left the island without stopping.
"Didn't I look fierce enough? Why weren't they scared by me?"
As soon as Grandpa Xu arrived, he kicked him and slapped him across the face.
It scared people away.
Xu Yiyi pointed to her face, her tone tinged with confusion.
"Something's not right with your grandpa."
A-Yue sat under the stove, tending the fire for Xu Yi-Yi. She didn't feel anything when her mind wasn't clear.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Grandpa Xu was no ordinary fisherman.
A-Yue paused for a moment and continued, "You two are different. You just look fierce, but your grandfather is really ruthless. I always feel that he... has killed people."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiyi raised an eyebrow.
"You feel that way too?"
Xu Yiyi had long suspected that her adoptive grandfather was a pirate in the past.
He's neither a pirate nor a good person.
Otherwise, he could have earned enough to buy a big ship in just a few years.
No matter how I look at it or think about it, something just doesn't seem right.
"I can't be wrong."
Ah Yue spoke calmly.
Xu Yiyi was about to say something when Xu Anyang's voice came in from outside.
"Sister Yi, Grandpa said that the tribe will supply fish during this period, so you can't go to sea anymore."
"what?"
Xu Yiyi walked out of the kitchen carrying a spatula.
“My father said that there were more sea snakes caught this time, and it is estimated that they are about to reproduce. It is dangerous to go into the sea at this time.”
Xu Anyang emptied the contents of the fish basket.
"That snake is extremely venomous; if you get bitten, you're dead."
Every year, countless people die from sea snake bites.
Xu Yiyi then realized that it was the season for salvaging sea snakes.
"I don't go to sea, I go out to sea with Uncle..."
Xu Yiyi happily went back to the kitchen to cook breakfast.
The shop can start serving new dishes again. She'll also dry sea snake skin and dried sea snakes to nourish her children.
When she arrived, Zhan Jilan, being so picky about money, didn't want anything.
There are practically no dried fish or other seafood at home.
