My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 126 Father is suppressed by Mother

Zhou Miao smiled and didn't discuss the matter of whether or not he was a womanizer with his father anymore.

He was originally devoted to one woman, but then he met Lu Xiaoxiao, this oddball.

As a result, Luo Qianqian's attitude became clear, and then Pei Yunxi came along, making him feel that they were all good girls, so he couldn't bear to give up either of them.

However, he had a relatively calm attitude. He wanted everything, but if in the end he lost everything, it didn't matter.

Your career will only get better and better in the future, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to attract the opposite sex.

But Zhou Miao knew in his heart that Pei Yunxi and Luo Qianqian might leave, but Lu Xiaoxiao would definitely not, so he at least had a backup plan.

He originally brought his parents to the fish raft to take a look, and planned to go back to his rented house to discuss the treasure.

A little while later, Lu Xiaoxiao and the others came over and invited Zhou Jiguang to go out to sea together.

The boat is Zhou Miao's fishing boat. He said he put out a lot of fish traps this morning, and now it should be time to collect them.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiguang immediately became extremely interested, and without paying any attention to his son, he eagerly followed after them.

Zhou Miao stared in disbelief as they left him behind. "I haven't even boarded the ship yet!"

Looking at the fishing boats in the distance, he shook his head helplessly.

It's obvious they deliberately left him behind, probably because they were annoyed that he hadn't made a choice yet, leaving all three of them hanging.

Zhou Miao had no choice but to take out a fishing rod from the warehouse and stay at the fishing raft to fish, waiting for them to return.

The fishing boat didn't return until after 3 p.m.

Zhou Jiguang and Wang Xiuying were all smiles, clearly having a great time.

"Uncle and Auntie, would you like to rest at my fish raft for a while? I have a kitchen there, and you can have all the ingredients cooked at my place," Luo Qianqian asked, linking arms with Wang Xiuying.

This is her strength, and it will help her make a better impression on Zhou Miao's parents.

"This isn't really appropriate, it's too much trouble for you." Wang Xiuying hesitated before refusing, feeling that it was too much of a burden for others.

"It's alright, Auntie. A-Miao often brings ingredients to my place so my brother can cook. We often have meals together."

After Luo Qianqian finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhou Miao, who was still fishing, blinking her eyes as if trying to convey some message.

Zhou Miao felt it was getting late, so it would be nice to rest at Tingtao Fishing Raft for a while and then have dinner together. So he put away his fishing rod and nodded: "Mom and Dad, it's fine to rest at Qianqian's place too. It'll be a good opportunity for you to see what a fish raft that is actually in operation looks like."

Then he said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, have your brother come over here. Please ask him to take the workers down later."

Zhou Miao didn't mention feeding the sea turtles, because the sea turtles' appearance times are still not very fixed, only appearing more frequently in the evening than before.

Zhou Jiguang and Wang Xiuying really wanted to see what the fish raft would look like after it was renovated. There were many fish rafts around, but they belonged to other people, so they could only take a look when they passed by and could not see the whole picture. So they agreed.

Moreover, after spending the afternoon with the three girls, they were quite satisfied with them and could get to know them better.

We moved to Tingtao Fishing Raft.

Luo Hao greeted them warmly, showing no surprise, clearly having learned the details from Luo Qianqian beforehand.

His enthusiasm wasn't actually because of his sister, but rather because he was Zhou Miao's friend and simply entertaining an elder.

Stroll around the fish rafts and sit on a chair to enjoy the sea breeze.

Enjoying seafood caught in fish traps in the evening, Zhou Jiguang and Wang Xiuying felt that they could come here to relax and have fun from time to time.

My youngest son runs a fish raft business, and he can come whenever he wants, unless it's a holiday.

It's only a few hours' drive away, very convenient.

It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Zhou Miao took his parents back to shore. He first booked a room for them at a nearby hotel, and then took them back to his rented apartment.

"This environment is quite nice. How much is it per month?" Wang Xiuying looked around the apartment.

It's been confirmed that my son came here to start a business, not to suffer, but to enjoy himself.

"Only 500 yuan, the overall cost of living in Nanzhen is not high."

"These houses are indeed not tall, about the same height as those in our village."

"Ah Miao, can you tell me about the good thing you mentioned now?" Zhou Jiguang interrupted his wife's chat with their youngest son and asked about the important matter.

Zhou Miao first drew all the curtains in the room to make sure that no one outside could see what was happening inside. Then she took out the two boxes of gold and the box of jewelry that she had specially placed behind the sofa and handed them to them.

"Look, this is the good thing I was talking about."

Zhou Jiguang took the box and found it to be quite heavy. He carefully examined the exterior of the box before opening it.

He noticed something was off about the box; it looked old and damp.

Wang Xiuying didn't think much of it and opened the box directly, only to be almost dazzled by the golden light.

"!!!"

Her eyes widened, her mind went blank, but her hands gripped the box tightly.

Zhou Jiguang naturally noticed the small yellow croakers as well. After a few seconds of silence, he opened the two boxes on his side as well.

One box was equally golden, while the other contained jewelry necklaces, some made of gold, others of pearls and agate.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhou Jiguang's hands still trembled uncontrollably.

With priceless gold and jewels right before their eyes, how could ordinary people remain calm?

"Ah...Ah Miao, where did you get these things?" Zhou Jiguang took a few deep breaths, his heart filled with mixed emotions of excitement and unease, and asked.

"Yes, yes, son, where did you get all this?" Wang Xiuying, who was in a daze, also came to her senses and quickly closed the box, asking nervously.

"As I mentioned this afternoon, I occasionally go diving to catch fish. These are the fish I found in a small cave while I was diving to catch mandarin fish."

"These items are valuable, and I don't feel comfortable keeping them here. So I'm asking you to come and take them back to your home and hide them properly."

"If the family needs money urgently in the future, we can take these things out and sell them to get money. If we don't need them urgently, we can keep them and pass them down."

As soon as Zhou Miao finished speaking, Zhou Jiguang immediately thought of his eldest son, who was still paying off his mortgage and car loan.

His daughter is already married, so any issues are matters for her in-laws and he doesn't need to concern himself with them.

But the eldest son is under a lot of pressure right now. If we give him a small yellow croaker in exchange for money, his pressure will be relieved a lot immediately.

So he approached Zhou Miao and said, "Miao, these things are yours, so your parents will definitely keep them safe for you. After you get married, we'll take them back for you to keep yourself."

"but......"

When Zhou Miao heard the word "however," his heart skipped a beat; sure enough, the thing he was worried about had happened.

Seeing that he didn't react, Zhou Jiguang continued, "However, your brother is under a lot of pressure due to car and mortgage payments. I was thinking of selling five small yellow croakers to help him out. Just say that this money was given to you by someone who made a lot of money at sea and knows that he's having some difficulties, so you're lending it to them first."

"They'll pay you back when they have the money, how about that?"

Before Zhou Miao could even finish speaking, a hand appeared on his father's ear.

"I don't think it's a good idea. Zhou Jiguang, what were you thinking, using your youngest son's money to help his brother?" Wang Xiuying said with great dissatisfaction.

However, she knew her limits and kept her voice very low, unlike her usual loud voice when she was angry.

"What kind of relief? This money still needs to be paid back."

"Don't you know the saying 'help in an emergency, not in a life of poverty'? Ah Sen is already married and has his own family. If he really encounters difficulties, wouldn't we, as his parents, help him? Why would he need his unmarried younger brother, Ah Miao, to help him?"

"They both work, and they don't have kids yet, so where does all that pressure come from? Don't even think about it!"

"Don't worry, Miao, Mom will take good care of your things. No one will touch your things without your permission."

"And you, Zhou Jiguang, don't mention this matter again when you get back. Just keep it buried in your heart."
