Chapter 215 Negotiation
Tang Qiyue found a scarf and gave it to Shanhu.

Coral looked at the furry scarf and was reluctant to wrap it around her neck.

"I'm giving it to you, so you don't catch a cold. How can you support a man?"

Tang Qiyue teased her and Shanhu's face turned red, but she didn't dare to do anything, for fear that Zhan Zeye would see her and kill her.

"Sister Qiyue, don't tease me, I'm not married yet!"

Tang Qiyue knew that she was shy, so she didn't continue teasing her. Instead, she handed the prepared snacks and wine to Zhan Zeye and asked him to carry them.

Since you want the old village chief to take better care of Coral, you have to show some appreciation.

Tang Qiuyue does understand a little bit about the ways of the world.

Coral's parents certainly cannot be counted on. Since she intends to help Coral, she will help her to the end.

Zhan Zeye had no objection. He supported all Tang Qiyue's decisions anyway.

Because he was afraid that Zhan Zeye didn't know what was going on, he told Zhan Zeye briefly about Coral on the way there, and Zhan Zeye said he understood.

"It's not a big problem. Construction will start on the entire island in the spring after the Chinese New Year. The fishing village is also part of the plan. A lot of people will definitely be needed by then. Anyone who can work in the fishing village will have to go out. Her husband can help make some furniture then!"

Although Zhan Zeye was speaking to Tang Qiyue, Shanhu could hear it. He was trying to reassure her that her man would not have trouble surviving on the island.

Shanhu was very grateful. She knew very well that the reason Zhan Zeye said that was because of Tang Qiyue.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

She did not call out Captain Zhan Zeye again, but instead called out directly to Tang Qiyue.

Zhan Zeye nodded.

Just know who to thank.

Tang Qiyue didn't care. After all, it was a good thing that Shanhu was smarter.

The old village chief didn't expect Zhan Zeye to come, especially when he saw that he was carrying things, he was even more shocked. He thought he wanted the entire village to move away.

He let everyone into the house and asked his wife, Aunt Xiangqin, to pour sugar water for everyone.

Zhan Zeye pointed at Shanhu and said, "It's her business to come here today, don't think too much about it!"

The old village chief's embarrassed expression finally relaxed, and he looked at Coral. Coral had just gone to the beach and took out all the sea pearls that she had hidden away. They were now in the box she was holding.

She opened the box directly: "Uncle, this is the sea pearl that I set up on my own, take a look!"

The old village chief had already heard about Coral's affairs and had gossiped about them with the villagers. They were all waiting to see what Coral would do, whether to compromise or not get married. They never expected that she would set up her own business.

After opening the box and seeing the sea pearl inside, the old village chief looked at Zhan Zeye.

He is not stupid. Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue came here to support Shanhu.

"I have enough sea pearls. Since you plan to set up your own business, you have to separate from your parents. You should think carefully. You will have to pay a sum of money for the separation. Do you have enough sea pearls?"

The old village chief gave a reminder.

Shanhu nodded: "I originally planned to take it out when I was going to give the betrothal gift, but my brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate me, so now let's split up the family first!"

The old village chief won't make things difficult for her, so the rest will be easy.

The old village chief did not make things difficult for Coral. He knew the abilities of the female divers. Coral had been a female diver for more than ten years, so it was normal for her to have some sea pearls.

He had to remind: "Will your parents agree?"

Coral smiled bitterly: "It has come to this, I can't care so much. I am a female diver, and if the village agrees, there is no way they can disagree!" Although she said that, they still have to live in the same village, and they will see each other every day, so there will always be conflicts.

"Besides, I still have to get married, and I will have a family to support in the future. They raised me, and I have been a dive girl for more than ten years, which can be regarded as repaying their kindness in giving birth to me!"

After Coral finished speaking, the old village chief asked her when she would tell her parents. Coral was afraid that things would get more complicated the next day, so she said directly that they wanted to break up now.

It was already dark.

If the corals separate at this time, they may have no place to live that night.

"What are you afraid of? Coral will live in our house. We have an empty room anyway!"

Aunt Xiangqin spoke up from the side.

The old village chief wanted to say something, but finally chose to give up.

He knew his wife's character well, and probably thought of some old stories in their family.

"Then I'll ask someone to call your parents over!"

The old village chief asked his son to make a run for it. The two families lived not far from each other, so Coral's parents came and were told what had happened by the old village chief's son on the way.

As soon as he entered the room, Shanhu's father wanted to slap Shanhu, but he saw Zhan Zeye sitting there with a murderous look on his face, so he had to put down his raised hand.

"You rebellious girl, you actually dared to split the family. I have raised you for so many years in vain!"

Coral's father gritted his teeth and looked at Coral as if he were an enemy.

Coral Lady was crying beside her.

Shanhu stuck out her neck and said, "I became a female seaman when I was seven years old. From then on, everything I ate and used was given by the Sea Goddess. I have repaid all the kindness she showed me before I was seven years old!"

If it weren't for the fact that she had to support a family in the future, Coral would have wanted to cry again.

Coral's father was about to get angry again, but the old village chief coughed twice and said, "That's enough. There is a rule in our village that if a female divers want to set up her own business, you as parents are not allowed to stop her!"

Coral's parents also knew about this, but they were unwilling to accept it.

"Now that we've talked about it, and Coral has taken out enough sea pearls as required, now let's talk about how you want to divide the property!"

It’s not about whether to split up, but how to split up.

Shanhu's father waved his hand and said, "She is just a little girl. What's there to share? If she wants to start her own business, she can leave the house with nothing!"

Shanhu seemed to have expected this result. She smiled bitterly, "For my brother and sister-in-law, are my parents really so heartless?"

Shanhu's mother held Shanhu's hand and said, "Shanhu, your father is just angry. Isn't it good for us to live a good life as a family? Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

Shanhu shook off her mother's hand: "Am I stubborn or are you cruel? You made me a diver even though you knew I would never have children. Now, my elder brother and sister-in-law are reluctant to give me a betrothal gift, so you want me to leave the house with nothing!"

Some things are not put on the table, and no one knows how dirty things are underneath.

Coral couldn't stop crying.

Who doesn't want to be favored by their parents?

"Isn't the fisherwoman pregnant? How do you know you can't get pregnant?"

Shanhu’s wife hurriedly brought out the fisherwoman, but Shanhu smiled bitterly: “Mom, fisherwoman is different from me. She has been a diver for a short time, and she won’t go into the sea when she has her period. What about me? As long as the weather is good, you will not allow me not to go into the sea!”

They knew the danger brought by the smell of blood, but did they ever care about Haizhu's life or death?
"Mom, I have a heart of flesh and blood, but now it has been broken by you!"
