Chapter 1932: If You Provoke Me, I'll Cook for You

Litian frowned deeply and said with great displeasure, "Stop calling me that. You are a Pirate, I am a university teacher. Today is only the second time I have seen you; I have never seen you before, so how could I possibly be your boss?"

The Pirate leader was puzzled: "But you look exactly like our boss."

"That's right, you are very young, you must be our boss's son, which means you are my boss."

The Pirate leader did not cry when he was captured, and he did not cry when his woman Yafang died.

But now, seeing Litian, he was weeping bitterly and was incredibly agitated.

"Boss, the rules of our trade have a tradition; when the father is gone, the son must inherit the father's business. Back then, when we followed the boss, we lived the high life. Even as a lowly underling at the very bottom, I lived a good life with plenty to eat and drink."

"Later, when the boss was gone, we suffered. We had no land to farm at home, and we didn't have good boats or tools for fishing, so we lived in fear every day..."

Litian listened for a long time and finally understood.

These people were not born lazy or averse to work, wanting to be robbers.

It was truly because the surrounding living environment was too harsh; if they didn't do this, they would have no way to survive.

The Pirate leader hugged Litian's thigh, crying with snot and tears streaming down, begging him incessantly to lead his brothers to a path of survival!

If the so-called path of survival meant continuing to be Pirates.

Litian could not agree.

The Pirate leader said that the reason their former boss was so formidable was that, besides robbing passing fishing boats, he also possessed a unique skill—Fish Language.

If one understood Fish Language, one could catch more fish, so when there was no "work," they could be self-sufficient by fishing.

Litian also understood Fish Language.

It wasn't taught by anyone; he was born with it!

Litian wanted to teach Fish Language to these Pirates, letting them master a life skill so they wouldn't have to be robbers.

Sheng Hanyu was a bit worried: "If they possess such a skill, what if they don't fish honestly but use this skill to do bad things instead?"

His worry was not without reason.

Back then, Litian's biological father, the old Pirate leader, used this very ability to gather a group of sharks around his small island, forming a natural barrier that left the maritime police helpless against him.

Litian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Dad. I won't teach them the skill of summoning sharks; I'll only teach them the simplest version, enough to catch fish."

"That is acceptable."

Litian folded many banana leaves and rolled them up to blow a sound that could summon the mackerel in the sea.

Dense and endless.

Actually, if one had large fishing boats, there would be no need for such a skill, but likewise, with such a skill, one would not need large fishing boats.

It was very suitable for people who had no capital and used small fishing boats to catch fish.

The Pirates were extremely grateful and swore on the spot that they would wash their hands of the business and never engage in such activities again.

The people of the Fishing Village were now wealthy and very generous, gifting them some money for free so they could settle down and live in peace, and everyone lived in harmony.

Sheng Hanyu's family was about to leave the Fishing Village, and the villagers were reluctant to see them go, especially Yaqing.

He begged their family to stay for a few more days, preferably to settle down and never leave.

But there is no banquet in the world that does not come to an end, and they still had to leave.

They had more important things to do.

Litian's family returned to Jiangzhou, and Shi Youxuan and her husband continued on their journey.

They arrived in A Country, which was the hometown of Shi Youxuan's father, a country with a very strong scholarly atmosphere.

Because the people here were all obsessed with learning, there were many nearsighted people, and the eyewear business was also very developed here.

Shi Youxuan bought a pair of blue-light-blocking glasses, perched them on the bridge of her nose, and asked her husband: "Do I look good?"

"You look good; you look good in anything you wear."

Since she looked good, she kept them on, and she also picked out a pair for her husband.

The couple was not nearsighted, but they both wore non-prescription glasses; Shi Youxuan said this was called "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Upon arriving at a new place, Shi Youxuan first looked for delicious food.

Her husband glanced at her: "Zichen likes to eat, which is like you, but he doesn't just like to eat, he also likes to cook, and he cooks very well. Why do you only have the first part and not the second?"

Shi Youxuan was retorted, glared at her husband, and threatened: "Watch your mouth. If you provoke me, I'll cook for you!"

Sheng Hanyu was quite smug: "Do you think I would provoke you for no reason? This is A Country, and the place we are staying is a hotel; there is no kitchen, so even if you wanted to show off, you wouldn't have the chance."

Shi Youxuan found her husband's smug look very unpleasant.

She smiled gently, suddenly slowed her voice, and said softly: "Husband, have you forgotten that my grandparents' house is still there? Actually, we don't have to stay in a hotel at all; we can go stay at the old residence..."

Sheng Hanyu did not hesitate for a moment and immediately apologized: "Wife, I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person, don't hold it against me, forget what I just said."

Jin Lao and the old lady's old residence had actually been donated to the state and developed into a Museum, but the descendants of the Jin Family could still live in the old residence when they returned.

None of that mattered; what mattered was—the old residence had a kitchen!

Sheng Hanyu gave in, and Shi Youxuan won once again.

The couple spent a few peaceful days in A Country, but then it stopped being peaceful. Somehow, the people of A Country learned that the descendants of Jin Lao had returned and gave the couple a warm welcome.

Shi Youxuan was a descendant of Jin Lao and his wife, so people naturally assumed that she must also be highly talented and learned.

To welcome them, A Country even organized an academic debate competition.

"A debate competition to welcome guests? I've truly lived long enough to see everything."

Shi Youxuan was very dissatisfied; in fact, she was mainly terrified. She had never feared anyone when it came to arguing, but there was a difference between debating and arguing.

She hadn't even heard of the topics they provided, so what was there to debate?

They couldn't debate; they were simply not opponents on the same level.

She said to her husband: "Let's run. We can't stay here; we will definitely embarrass ourselves."

Sheng Hanyu said in a muffled voice: "Running away now is even more embarrassing; it would be embarrassing all the way back to our hometown."

Shi Youxuan: "Then what should we do? How about I suggest changing the rules to business strategies or talking about stocks instead?"

A Country values scholarship and looks down upon money; businessmen do not have high status in A Country, and people do not like to discuss anything related to money.

Business strategies or talking about stocks are naturally out of the question; those great scholars would never deign to discuss such things, but what could the couple Shi Youxuan and her husband do when they didn't know what the scholars wanted to talk about?

It could not stump her.

On the day of the debate, the couple "fell ill."

Both of them fell ill together, claiming they were not accustomed to the local environment, had sore throats, and could not speak.

Since they could not even speak, naturally there was no way to hold the debate, so it had to be called off.

Having just gotten rid of the "hot potato," Shi Youxuan immediately made arrangements to leave!

"Let's go, let's go, let's go play somewhere else; this place is truly not fit for people to stay in..."

Sheng Hanyu:...

He did not hold back at all, reminding his wife: "Is it appropriate for you to speak like that? This is, after all, the ancestral home of your father; how can you speak this way?"
