Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 371 Qin Anning's Troubles

After this scientific popularization, Fu Wan has a good understanding of rosewood.

"But these red sandalwoods are so valuable, how come there are so many of them here?"

She carefully identified them and found that there were thirty-three boxes in total. If she was not mistaken, there were exactly sixteen boxes made of rosewood.

How much would sixteen rosewood boxes cost, and how much wood would be used?

Mr. Xiao also shook his head. "I'm old and don't understand the twists and turns inside, but these things must be from our country."

Although this small-leaf red sandalwood also exists in several other countries in Southeast Asia, the style of these red sandalwood boxes is definitely not something that those small countries can produce.

And other countries basically use red sandalwood as medicine, but China has a history of using red sandalwood to make furniture as early as the Ming Dynasty.

As for why the Japanese tried to transport the rosewood out of China, Mr. Xiao had already guessed it almost exactly.

Many people on the island like to use rosewood to make musical instruments, but unfortunately, the island is small and there are not many surviving small-leaf rosewood. So Mr. Xiao thought that this should be the reason why those islanders tried to transport these rosewood boxes and gold out of China.

But justice is clear and with the blessing of Mazu, these things belonging to China were finally recovered by the Chinese.

As they were talking, their boat had already approached the camp dock. Fu Wan had been to the camp dock twice in just two days and had become quite familiar with the facilities here.

But just as she got off the boat, a boat parked not far away caught her attention.

Look at the familiar big holes on that dilapidated hull. Isn’t this the fishing boat that failed to chase them at sea yesterday and was attacked by swordfish instead!

Unexpectedly, I was dragged back to the camp.

Seeing Fu Wan's eyes fall on the ship, Sun Shaoping next to her told her with great interest where those people had gone.

"The boat was discovered by our patrol comrades at sea. There were several islanders and people from the United States on board. It has now been handed over to the relevant departments.

As for this boat, they said it was rented from a local fisherman, and we are looking for the owner."

Of course, Fu Wan could also feel that Sun Shaoping was hiding half of his words. The purpose of looking for the victims was, first, to verify whether what those arrested people said was true or not, and second, to follow the clues and see how many enemy spies were behind.

But this wasn't Fu Wan's concern. She followed Sun Shaoping back to the cafeteria. This time, Bai Qianzhou didn't approach her, but simply nodded and said hello.

Sun Shaoping is also a wonderful person. He specially found Qin Anning, who is familiar with Fu Wan, to go with her, so that Fu Wan, a female comrade, would not feel restrained.

The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. The canteen chef's cooking skills were no exaggeration. The pot of braised pork was tender and tasty. Not only Fu Wan, but all the comrades in the canteen ate it with great enjoyment without even raising their heads.

After lunch, Fu Wan strolled for a while with Qin An Ning before saying goodbye to Sun Shaoping and going home.

"Okay, I'm busy here. If Comrade Xiaofu needs anything, just come to the camp and find us later."

After that, he also wrote a letter of introduction to Fu Wan and asked her to bring it with her next time she came to the camp.

Then Qin Anning volunteered, "Awan, let me take you home! I just happened to have asked for half a day off from the institute to get some fresh air."

Seeing that she had already asked for leave, Fu Wan couldn't refuse, so she simply got in Qin An Ning's car and went back to the village.

Even though Qin An Ning still had a smile on her face in the car, Fu Wan still felt something was wrong.

"An Ning, did something happen to you?"

Qin Anning is a career-oriented woman, and every time Fu Wan sees her, she can see the confidence on her face.

But since they met yesterday, Fu Wan had a vague feeling that Qin An Ning must have encountered some difficulties.

"No, I'm fine. The research project is going well, nothing much to worry about."

Fu Wan still felt something was wrong. Suddenly, a figure flashed through her mind: the fatherly Xu Zhiqiang from yesterday.

Is it because of him that Qin An Ning has a hint of sadness between his brows?

"An Ning, is Xu Zhiqiang from yesterday still bothering you?"

"If there's anything, just tell me. Here we're not only friends, we're also family."

Qin Anning's smile froze after hearing this. After a long silence, she said, "No, but my boss said I have to find a gay man to marry as soon as possible. Otherwise, Mingzhu's household registration won't be transferred, and she won't be able to go to school in the camp."

Once the conversation started, Qin An Ning seemed to have found an outlet and poured out everything.

"I can understand that my leaders want me to settle down, because since I studied abroad, they always think I might return to the United States.

Really, I can understand all of this.

Awan, but being a woman is really too difficult. The essence of marriage is to sacrifice everything for a woman. Those comrades who are interested in me, whether Xu Zhiqiang or others, all have excellent resumes.

However, the premise of their excellence is the selfless contributions of their mothers and sisters.

Who doesn't have a career? I've been studying for so many years, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of children. This is not the life I want. I just want to raise Mingzhu and then contribute what I have learned to the country.

But such a simple goal is now difficult to achieve. Those leaders came with a mission. They tried every possible means to get me married. Sometimes I even thought, why not just find someone to marry?

But I'm also afraid of finding a man like Zhao Dong and ending up like my sister."

As soon as Qin An Ning finished speaking, a tear couldn't help but slide down the corner of her eye.

Fu Wan had never seen Qin An Ning like this before, and for a moment she didn't know how to stay up late.

"An Ning, marriage is a lifelong event. I've also fallen on hard times in this matter. Marriage isn't just about two people; there's a family behind it. You have to consider not only the person, but also the entire family.

Don't even think about marrying just anyone. If all else fails, I'll talk to Leader Sun and ask him to persuade your leader."

Qin An Ning shook his head, then remained silent for a while before gritting his teeth and saying:

"Awan, can I have a fake marriage with your brother? As long as Mingzhu's household registration is transferred here, I can go through the divorce procedures with him in a year. In return, I can also give him some money as compensation."

These words exploded in Fu Wan's ears like thunder. A fake marriage to Fu Ming?

This is just a joke!

It turned out that Qin An Ning didn't hear what she just said about not marrying just anyone.

After all, Fu Ming and Qin An Ning can be said to be from two different worlds.

"This...why don't you go back and think about it again!"
