Chapter 207 Entrusting the Heirlooms to His Daughter
Book lovers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion!
Subsequently, Zhou Miao learned about Luo Hao and his sister Luo Qianqian's family situation from them.
Their uncle and grandfather disappeared around the time Luo Zhiyong's father brought back 3,000 catties of yellow croaker.
This was a devastating blow to their family, but fortunately their father and their third and fourth uncles worked together to support the family.
Luo Hao's aunt did not remarry, but stayed to find odd jobs to earn money. With the help of her three uncles, she raised her two children.
The two children lost their father at a young age, so they matured early, were sensible and filial, and were both admitted to key universities.
Now one works for a state-owned enterprise, and the other is a manager in a private company.
The two were also grateful, and before they got married, they gave all the money they earned each year to their families, so that their mother could divide it equally among their three uncles.
Luo Hao's two older cousins provided a lot of support in getting his fish rafts up and running.
Luo Qianqian was born in 2000. Although her father was the second oldest in the family, she was the youngest and most pampered in three generations.
So she was raised to have a cheerful personality, but her family was poor when she was young.
She didn't have everything that other children had, which is why she became a bit of a money-grubber when she grew up.
After learning about these things, Zhou Miao couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
But he knew that the longing the fishing boat owner had placed in him could now be put to rest.
As for Luo Zhiyong's family...
Zhou Miao put this matter to himself for the time being; he needed to figure out how to move this matter forward.
After the competition, he decided to go into the water to check the condition of the sunken ship, hoping to find something.
Given his relationship with Luo Qianqian, even if their skeletons are still on the ship, they are still his uncle and grandfather, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
The murder left Zhou Miao feeling heavy-hearted, and he woke up as soon as the sun rose the next day.
When they arrived at the fishing club to meet, Yu Muzhou immediately noticed his unusual behavior.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood today."
"It's nothing, I'm just not very confident about winning the championship."
Zhou Miao shook his head. He couldn't talk to anyone about the shipwreck murder, and keeping it to himself inevitably affected his emotions.
"Haha, it's just the championship! It doesn't matter if you don't win it, I'll still get that girl group to perform a hot dance for you."
"With looks like yours, surely you have a great opportunity to pick up some young lady?"
Zhou Miao was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, never expecting Yu Muzhou to use his beauty to spice things up and try to ignite his passion for the competition.
But he's really not interested in it now, and it's not entirely because of the murder.
It was because I was a little emotionally charged while watching the performance, and after it subsided, I naturally lost that feeling.
However, he didn't explain, since Yu Muzhou meant well.
Soon it was nine o'clock in the morning, and fishing boats left the dock one by one.
"Ah Miao, where should we go fishing today?"
"It's either win or lose; there's no reason to leave your fate to others."
"Well said, let's go catch some big fish!"
An hour later, the fishing boat returned to the shipwreck, and several red dots representing large fish reappeared at the bottom of the screen.
As Zhou Miao stopped the boat and lowered the anchor, he mentally asked the system, "System, how do I tell the owner of the sunken ship and his family about their situation?"
The host can simply tell the system, and the system will relay the message.
The answer was exactly what Zhou Miao had expected, so he told the system everything he had learned from Luo Hao and his sister the night before.
At this moment, Yu Muzhou had already attached the iron plate bait and started tapping the bottom.
As always, he wouldn't call Zhou Miao on his first cast. Only when he hadn't caught a fish for a long time would he call him over to ask for luck.
Zhou Miao remained seated in the driver's seat, awaiting news of the sunken ship.
He didn't have to wait long; less than three minutes later, the system's voice sounded again.
[Congratulations, host, you have provided the information the sunken ship wanted to know. You have received a reward from the sunken ship. Activate now?]
"Activate".
[A reward from a fishing boat from thirty years ago: The master's more than thirty years of waiting and wish have been fulfilled. The fishing boat knows what you want and has decided to dedicate all its guards to you; you can catch them as soon as you cast your line.]
Zhou Miao raised an eyebrow. This result was exactly as he expected. It was time to go out and show off his skills in front of others, and then win the championship.
Although taxes need to be paid on the 350,000 yuan, the amount received is still considerable.
Secondly, as Zhou Miao's income from other sources increased, he felt it was time for him to start a small company and then legally avoid taxes.
However, just as Zhou Miao got up and was about to walk outside, the system's voice sounded again.
[A plea for help from a fishing boat from thirty years ago: The owner of the fishing boat left one last wish. He hid a gift for his daughter in the sleeping cabin of the sunken ship and would like you to return this keepsake to its rightful owner.]
"Don't worry, I will take your master's belongings back and hand them over to his daughter."
Zhou Miao made the promise, then walked out of the cabin and came to Yu Muzhou's side.
"We've only just started tapping the bottom; you can't rush it when you're fishing for big fish."
Yu Muzhou kept swinging his fishing rod, speaking with a slightly heavy breath.
"That's true, there's no point in rushing it."
Zhou Miao nodded, but his hand secretly touched the fishing rod.
Ten seconds later, a fierce force suddenly came from the fishing rod.
There was no sign of the bait being touched or even probed, catching Yu Muzhou completely off guard, and he almost dropped the rod.
It was Zhou Miao's quick reaction that allowed him to grab the fishing rod in time, preventing it from being dragged away.
As Zhou Miao completed his mission to rescue the fishing boat, the grouper surrounding the boat seemed to be freed from all restraints.
But just because they've taken the bait doesn't mean they'll swim to the surface and be left to their own devices.
As is their instinct, fish will resist when they feel the need to.
Yu Muzhou quickly grabbed the fishing rod again and began to fight the fish head-on. His face turned red at a visible speed, clearly showing that he was using all his strength.
Zhou Miao loosened her fishing rod to make room for him and avoid getting in his way.
With Yu Muzhou's strength, he'd probably be done for after catching just this one fish. He'd have to catch all the bigger ones later, so he needed to be prepared.
So Zhou Miao started warming up on the side, getting his body moving.
He stopped when his body warmed up, and then took out his belt and put it on.
At this moment, Yu Muzhou's breathing was like a bellows, his chest heaving wildly, and sweat was constantly streaming down his temples.
Having fulfilled the fishing boat owner's last wish, Zhou Miao was in a much better mood and began to tease him about his physical condition.
"Brother Zhou, this won't do! It seems you need to not only exercise regularly, but also take some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body."
But Yu Muzhou had no energy to reply at this moment. He looked very disheveled, but he was actually forcibly holding on to his breath.
If he can't even catch a big fish, he'll lose all face.
After all, the drone was filming all the time. Although the editing team would not expose his previous act of borrowing Zhou Miao's luck, he was in such a sorry state for too long, and it would be difficult for the team to handle. Therefore, they could only endure it.
Wang Yong, who was holding a grapple, had to put it down to prepare to take over the fishing rod at any time, seeing his condition.
After all, it was already agreed when he came that he would take over whenever Yu Muzhou got tired.
Fortunately, Yu Muzhou finally proved himself and successfully exhausted the grouper, pulling it to the surface.
