Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 170

......

In the fisherman's dormitory, several fishers were busy.

"Zhou An, how's it going now?"

Zhou An nodded, "Pretty good, it's almost settled."

About a month ago, Zhou An saved a Bio boy who almost drowned himself. The Bio boy wanted to marry Zhou An to repay his kindness, so Zhou An reported this to Qin Ming and applied for accommodation for that Bio boy.

During the past month, Zhou An and the Bio boy grew more feelings for each other and they decided to get married soon.

Originally, Zhou An had a wife. Back then, he had spent a considerable amount of betrothal money to get married. After they got married, however, the woman felt that the life on the boat was too hard, so she made off with the little bit of money that Zhou An had saved.

In the next few years, Zhou An no longer wanted to get married or have a family, he always stayed at a respectful distance from women. And he was thrilled that this Bio boy he had saved didn't ask any betrothal money from him, he knew they had something real.

Zhou An was not young anymore, so he wanted to get married quickly. The two of them planned to keep everything simple.

Zhou An had been sharing a dormitory room with a few fishermen, but considering that he was going to get married, Zhou An felt that he couldn't continue like this.

Zhou An told Qin Lang that he wanted a private dormitory for the two of them. Qin Lang nodded and agreed. However, if he wanted a private dormitory, he would need to pay three taels of silver. The fish Zhou An had handed in was worth 500 cents, so he only needed to pay 2 taels and 500 cents.

Zhou An wasn't rich, but he had some savings, he paid the money without hesitation.

"Captain Qin said that I can choose from the newly built dormitory building." Zhou An beamed,

A fisherman patted Zhou An's shoulder and said, "Old An, I didn't expect you to get married so soon, congratulations."

Zhou An smiled, "Yeah, thank you!"

"Old An, do you know the background of your soon-to-be-wife?" A fisherman asked.

Zhou An smiled and said, "No, not really, but I don't care."

Zhou An lowered his head. He actually knew the identity of the Bio boy he has saved, his name was Li Xiaoyu. When he was 13 years old, his parents sold him to an old man as a concubine. Li Xiaoyu was treated as a servant in the old man's house and lived a very hard life.

The old man died a few days ago and Li Xiaoyu was thrown out of the house.

Li Xiaoyu, who was chased out, had no other option but return home. He accidentally heard his parents were planning to sell him to a dying man for money.

Li Xiaoyu was desperate. He was devastated that his parents were planning to sell him once more, it looked like his parents didn't care for his happiness at all. Li Xiaoyu fled his parents' house in a flurry, but his parents found that out and chased him by a lake, Li Xiaoyu was cornered, so he jumped into the lake out of grief and indignation.

The news of the Li Xiaoyu's parents cornering their son to death had spread in the village. The parents were afraid of causing a ruckus, so they had to report Li Xiaoyu's death to the government.

"It's not a big deal, Magistrate Lu has helped me to register Xiaoyu under my household. There won't be any problems," Zhou An said.

Zhou An moved into the dormitory with Li Xiaoyu soon.

Even though it was just a small room, Zhou An was very happy and so was Li Xiaoyu, they were excited to start the new chapter in life.

Zhou An and Li Xiaoyu didn't have many belongings, soon they had settled down in the room. The two of them didn't care for the formalities, Zhou An just took Li Xiaoyu to the buffee restaurant as a celebration, and that was it.

Li Xiaoyu was very excited, that was the first time he tried buffet. When Li Xiaoyu was at the old man's house, he was treated like a servant and he had little food to eat. Later, after he returned to his parents' house, his parents didn't offer him enough food on the excuse of their financial circumstances.

Li Xiaoyu didn't expect that there would be such a good place where you could eat all you want for only 10 cents Unfortunately, he wasn't a big eater and he had to call it a day after eating three buns. Li Xiaoyu sighed when he thought about all the yummy food he had missed.

Zhou An looked at Li Xiaoyu and smiled, "If there's anything you want to try, we can always come back."

Li Xiaoyu quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's too wasteful."

Zhou An smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. There are often tickets as rewards in the fleet. I can take you here as long as I work hard."

Li Xiaoyu said happily, "That's great, thank you! This fleet sounds amazing!"

Zhou An nodded and said smugly, "Yeah! The benefits of the fleet are good, and it seems to be getting better. I am one of the first people who have joined the fleet, I'm so lucky. It is not easy to join the fleet now."
