Chapter 177: What is a happy life?

Mao Wang was timid and obedient, completely under Shen Fang's control.

After drinking half a pot of tea, Shen Fang left.

Wu An let out a long breath.

Qin Zong smiled and asked: "A An, that's great—there's a woman who would risk everything to be with you, that's true love."

Wu An gave a bitter smile: "Qin Zong, this kind of true love could get you killed."

Qin Zong asked: "What are you planning to do?"

Wu An cursed: "I'll deal with shit!"

"What the hell does it have to do with me!"

After standing up.

He thanked Qin Zong; fortunately he had known about this in advance, otherwise, if things came to a head, he might really have been taken in.

Now……

Chen Long took revenge and suffered for it.

That serves Shen Fang right!

Qin Zong gave a thumbs-up.

Before returning to the private room, Wu An went to the front desk to settle the bill and also got a membership card.

Back in the private room.

Wu Ping said curiously: "A An, you seem pretty close with the boss here, calling each other brothers."

"Well, I've eaten here several times, so I'm acquainted." Wu An paused, then continued: "It's normal for people in business to use friendly terms."

Wu Ping suddenly understood; that's how it was.

Wu An looked at Wu Yingwei; Father's face was flushed red from drinking, and there were plenty of Shrimp Crab shells on his plate, plus some beef and lamb bones.

Father had eaten and drunk plenty.

Pretty good.

He got up to pour Father a drink.

Wu Yingping looked at Wu An and found him increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Before, Wu An was his "major hidden trouble"; he was busy with work and couldn't look after the crying Wu An, so it was Wu Ping, the older brother, who took care of him.

Later, Mei Yueqin, the elder sister-in-law, acted as mother and took care of the whole family.

As a father, he seemed to manage nothing, but he also worried.

Put bluntly, Wu An was just a burden.

Now it's different.

Wu An has become the pillar of the family.

"A An, Father toasts you with a cup."

"Ah... Dad, you've had too much; I should be the one toasting you." Wu An raised his cup, tapped the bottom against Father's raised cup, then drained it.

Father took a sip, didn't pick up any vegetables, and said: "Dad needs to say sorry to you; from childhood on, Dad hasn't really looked after you."

"Dad owes you a lot."

Wu An became even more apprehensive: "Dad, please don't say that."

"You've already given me everything you could."

"I have no complaints about you."

This is the truth; he knows what Father has done for him.

"Don't just drink; eat some vegetables."

Wu An said this, then placed a piece of meat into Father's bowl.

Father ate the meat, feeling utterly delighted.

After two more cups of wine, Mei Yueqin couldn't help but speak, urging them to drink less.

Li Juan had already beaten A Qing.

A Qing had already drunk too much.

Wu Ping tried to stop them, speaking with a slurred tongue.

The scene was a bit chaotic, but still warm and harmonious.

Normally, Father would listen to Mei Yueqin's words.

But not today.

He had drunk too much.

"A An, fill it up, let's have a drink, just the two of us."

"Sure."

"Dad, A An, A Ping, you guys stop him... sigh... I'm the one trying to stop him, yet you still clinked cups..."

"Hiss... good wine is just good to drink."

"Mei Yueqin, just don't try to stop them."

"Right, sister-in-law, today we're happy, let Father and Brother drink to their heart's content."

"Then don't just drink; eat some vegetables, there's still plenty left."

"No problem, we can take it to go."

Watching the family eat and drink, lively and bustling, compared to his previous life, Wu An began to smile.

"Dad, Brother, wait a moment, I'll keep you company."

"Drink."

Wu An took a big gulp, the liquor burning his mouth, making him bare his teeth.

Then he wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand.

It was a little wet.

He didn't know if it was from the spiciness.

The spacious private room seemed unable to contain this lively atmosphere.

This damn thing is the happy life!

A Qing was already drunk and dazed, constantly nodding, probably feeling the same.

After drinking to the end.

Wu An also got drunk.

He didn't know how he got home, but when he woke up the next day, he was in bed at home, his head a bit uncomfortable, he picked up his phone and looked.

Several messages.

They were from Gu Anran, nothing much, just asking when he would go out to sea today, she wanted to go see the dock.

Wu An rubbed his temples, sat up, and replied that he probably wouldn't go out to sea today.

Not long after.

Gu Anran replied back.

Then the two started a video call.

As they chatted, they talked nonstop; Gu Anran learned he had drunk again, naturally gave him a lecture, and Wu An chuckled, promising to obey.

During that, A Qing called, he instantly hung up, then resumed the video call with Gu Anran.

A Qing then sent a message; Wu An didn't look, he was chatting with a girl, how could he be half-hearted?

Bro?

Sorry.

Talking about love, where does a brother come from.

Upon hearing Gu Anran's grandmother call, they finally hung up.

Wu An then noticed it was already 9:30 a. m., hurriedly got out of bed, went to the courtyard, and saw Wu Ping brushing his teeth.

"Bro, just got up?"

"Mm." Wu Ping mumbled: "You just got up too?"

Wu An shook his head: "I got up early."

"Just chatting on the phone."

"Dad? Off to work again?"

Wu Ping pointed at the house: "No, Dad's still sleeping; he drank too much yesterday, feeling rough, only settled down near dawn."

"Ah, I drank too much yesterday too."

"Your sister-in-law watched over us three all night, only going to sleep after making breakfast in the morning."

While saying that.

The room door creaked, and Wu Yingwei staggered out of the house.

That's the aftereffects of a hangover.

Wu An called out: "Dad, you alright?"

"Pretty good, pretty good." Wu Yingwei, rare to feel embarrassed, quickly changed the subject: "Are you going out to sea today?"

"Still waiting for a message from Li the boss at the repair shop." Wu An shook his head: "It's already this time; likely not going out to sea."

"Perfect to rest a day, adjust condition to best, and go out to sea early tomorrow."

Just now I checked the Luck Value with the pressure water meter; today it's only 3 points!

It's completely off the charts!

But he isn't in a hurry.

He reckons the system will bounce back from bottom; his Luck Value already reached 195 points, if he tries a bit today, he might break through 200 tomorrow.

He doesn't need tomorrow's Daily Luck to hit the cap; as long as it breaks into three digits, he can definitely score big at sea.

"Alright, let's eat first." Wu Yingwei went into the kitchen, brought out the food his sister-in-law had kept warm in the big pot; although it's Saturday, he doesn't intend to idle, he needs to go to the Village Committee to clock in, and meanwhile learn about the sea area contracting situation.

This isn't considered using power for personal gain.

Moreover.

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, the one who first violated the rules was the old village head.

After breakfast.

Wu Yingwei went out.

Wu Ping had nothing to do, at his older sister-in-law's house.

Wu An waited for the repair shop boss Li's call, said they'd meet at the dock, pushed his motorcycle to the doorstep, then started it, first went to A Qing's place to pick him up, then headed straight to town.
