The Little Ancestor Teaches You How To Live-Chapter 851: The Death of Chu Heng (4)

"It’s not like that, sir. You’re not from around here and you might not know—this area may look calm, but it’s actually very dangerous... I know how to swim well and could maybe make it across, but for you, it would be very difficult," the old fisherman explained anxiously.

Chu Yanxi had run out of patience, "Stop it, in the end, you’re just scared we’ll damage your boat. I’ll give you a hundred thousand for this old boat of yours, then you help us get to shore."

"This..." The old fisherman hesitated.

One hundred thousand.

His old fishing boat was actually worth much more than that.

"Hurry up! I don’t want to waste time! If you don’t agree, we’ll go find someone else!" Chu Yanxi issued an ultimatum.

"Fine, fine, fine, I don’t care anymore! Give me the money, the boat is yours, go wherever you want!"

The old fisherman made up his mind, stopped persuading, took the money for the transaction, and having said all that could be said, the fault wouldn’t be on him if this father and daughter met with mishap!

"Then hurry up and sail there!" urged Chu Yanxi.

The old fisherman stopped talking, began turning the boat’s wheel, and steered the boat towards the direction of the island...

Old Master Qin had asked the hotel staff, and they had told him the coconut trees were owned by the hotel and were available for picking.

So, Susu put on her little helmet and got straight to work.

Lu Zhanyu watched Susu hanging on the coconut tree, feeling both worried and amused.

Her way of climbing was adorable, yet it was truly worrisome how high she was climbing.

Butler Zhang and He Beimu spread a net under the tree, ready to catch any coconuts or even persons that might fall.

At night, instead of sleeping or doing anything else, the Qin and Lu families gathered around Susu collecting coconuts.

Even Old Master Lu joined in the excitement, clamoring for coconut water and coconut food.

One, two, three.

After picking one tree, they moved on to the next.

Soon, there was a full harvest.

Then Old Master Lu called over the hotel staff to turn the coconuts Susu had collected into delicious food.

"Susu, that’s more than enough coconuts; you can come down now," Lu Zhanyu called to Susu still on the tree.

Susu, hanging on the tree, looked downward, seeing mounds of coconuts on the ground, slightly puzzled.

Had she really picked that many coconuts?

"Big brother, did I pick all these coconuts?" Susu asked.

"Susu picked a lot of coconuts," Lu Zhanyu didn’t directly answer her question.

Because eighty percent of the heaping coconuts had been brought over by hotel staff at his grandfather’s request.

Pretending they were picked by Susu, so she would give up on picking more coconuts.

The coconuts weren’t worth much, but having Susu hanging in the tree any longer might scare him into having a heart attack.

This was his grandfather’s good intention, and he didn’t want to reveal it.

But he also didn’t want to lie to Susu, thus giving this ambiguous answer.

"Then I’ll come down," Susu thought. There were too many to eat anyway, the rest could stay on the tree.

"Then come down slowly," Lu Zhanyu advised.

"Yes, yes, yes, Susu, come down quickly!" Old Master Lu promptly said.

Oh, little ancestor, please don’t fall!

She had come to the Southern Sea for their family’s Zhanyu, and if she arrived fine but returned injured or even disabled, how could he face the Qin family?

The crowd under the tree was waiting for Susu to come down, but after she descended a few steps, she stopped again.

"Susu, what’s wrong?" Lu Zhanyu quickly asked. freёnovelkiss.com

Was it that she didn’t have the strength anymore?
