Bai Jianbei stayed up all night in his study, and the next morning, full of energy, he waited outside Bai Suihe's courtyard.

Seeing his brother-in-law in this state, Gu Kaiyuan felt a moment of sympathy, then made an excuse and quickly left the scene.

He knew what the two siblings had come up with, but he was also afraid they would conscript him, so he had to keep an eye on the shipyard.

He's putting all his energy and enthusiasm into this, so Bai Suihe will handle the household affairs. With the wisdom and talent of the Bai family, he believes there won't be any problems.

We had recruited so many boatmen before, but it was still far from enough, so after visiting the shipyard, we had to go to the nearby fishing villages to find more people.

"Sister, this is the plan I wrote according to your instructions," Bai Jianbei said enthusiastically, placing a stack of papers in front of Bai Suihe.

Bai Suihe was stunned. "You wrote this in one night? You didn't sleep all night?"

"I found it easy to write, and I also found it quite interesting, so I ended up staying up all night without realizing it." Bai Jianbei didn't think it was a big deal, just like his older brother, who often stayed up all night.

"Go get some sleep. I'll explain everything to you in detail after I've finished reading this."

"Then take a good look at it. If there are any shortcomings, point them out. I think this method is quite good. Everything has a written version. Read it aloud to your older brother later."

In the future, such tasks can be delegated to subordinates, so that I don't have to rack my brains and exert myself so much..."

Seeing that he was about to continue rambling on, Bai Suihe had no choice but to have Granny Pang drag him away and light some calming incense in his room, as he needed sleep the most at that moment.

Gu Xingyang: "Mommy, Uncle is so pitiful. I see the shadow of a corporate slave in him..."

Bai Suihe nodded in agreement, "I'm his sister, I can't let him suffer. The hardships I've endured, he should experience them all again..."

Gu Xingyang: "...Mother is a good older sister, and I want to be a good older sister in the future."

"Mommy, when are you going to give me a few little brothers to play with?"

Younger brothers are a good thing. If she had a few more younger brothers, wouldn't she be able to just sit back and relax and win, and always have her brothers do things for her?

Bai Suihe was amused. "A younger brother is meant to be pampered, not treated like a beast of burden."

“Mother, doesn’t your conscience hurt to say that? Why don’t we go and call Uncle back so we can have a proper discussion about this issue?”

Bai Suihe tapped her little nose, "Mother had no choice. My family is poor, so I could only ask your two uncles for help."

You're different. With your intelligence and those boastful words you made before, your parents are waiting to enjoy a comfortable life with you, and your younger brother will also rise to prominence..."

Bai Suihe was completely unaware that she had fallen into the trap her daughter had set, while Gu Xingyang was already clapping her hands happily, "Mother, you promised to give me a younger brother."

Bai Suihe: "...When did I agree to that?"

“Mother, think back to what we said…”

Bai Suihe's expression shifted rapidly, before she finally managed to explain, "I was just speaking in the heat of the moment. Mother has you now, and that's enough."

Unexpectedly, the first person I encountered who pressured me to have a baby was my own daughter. It was both infuriating and hilarious.

Gu Xingyang: "Mother, don't you think I'm too lonely all by myself?"
"Look, you have a younger brother you can bully. Who am I supposed to bully then?" Bai Suihe was stunned. "So you want a brother so you can bully him?"

"Of course not," Gu Xingyang quickly explained, afraid of scaring Bai Suihe. "It's just that I'm afraid I'll be lonely, and if something happens in the future, I won't even have anyone to talk to."

Moreover, this was in ancient times, when the belief was that many children meant many blessings, and brothers were a source of support for daughters after marriage. You see, even in modern society, there are still many families that live off their children's descendants…

"Stop, you're going too far. Do you think anyone would dare to bully you?" Bai Suihe found it hard to accept even thinking about it. Actually, it wasn't impossible to have another child. "At worst, your mother can raise some child husbands for you, and you can leave your father and keep your son."

Bai Suihe's rebellious idea made Gu Xingyang giggle. "Mother, are you going to tell Father what you're saying?"

Having lived in the future for so long, this news wasn't a big deal for Gu Xingyang, and she didn't feel anything was wrong. But she was afraid that Gu Kaiyuan, this real old-fashioned person, might not be able to accept it.

"Uh……"

Even if Gu Kaiyuan dotes on his daughter, he probably wouldn't dare to have such thoughts. If he knew about this, I wonder if he could accept it?
“Mother, your idea is dangerous, stop it immediately,” Gu Xingyang quickly stopped him. “My father is in his prime, we can’t scare him into having a mental breakdown.”

Although my father didn't have much formal education, he was still influenced by traditional etiquette and customs. These things seem quite unconventional to him; we must proceed step by step.

Bai Suihe said, "I was just thinking about it and didn't actually do it. But don't worry, your father loves you. He's already had some people specially trained for you, so you definitely won't be bullied in the future."

If all else fails, we'll find a few more large islands, and when the time is right, you can simply claim one and become king.

Gu Xingyang was amused and giggled, "Mother, if I become queen in the future, I will definitely make you the retired emperor."

Bai Suihe, “...Why don’t you say that to your father?”

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they hugged each other and laughed until they fell onto the bed, unaware that their wild imaginations today might actually come true.

Transporting fresh seafood requires ice, and in large quantities, what they brought before was not enough, so they had to start working on the back mountain of Tamura as well.

What's needed here are the most loyal people. Just when they were struggling with how to train a group of loyal people, Yunni arrived with several hundred people.

Looking at this large group of people, both big and small, men and women, Bai Suihe found it incredible that Yunni had trained so many people in less than a year.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't offer any further explanation and led his men down to make arrangements.

With so many people, everyone could only stay in the open space in the village for a while.

"I plan to send some people to the island first," Gu Kaiyuan explained to Bai Suihe after settling the people in.

"I was only thinking about expanding this small fishing village before, but now it seems there's no need for that."

Bai Suihe said, "That is one way. The island is quite large and has fresh water, but the weather at sea is unpredictable, so we still need to be fully prepared."

They encountered the tail end of a small typhoon while they were out at sea, and the waves it created were breathtaking.

On this island, unless one lives in a cave like the previous Japanese pirates, there's simply no way to safely weather the successive typhoons. (End of Chapter)
