"Make use of us? How?" Lin Fan was curious to find out.
"I need someone to get my father's fishing boat out to sea again, to prove that there's nothing wrong with it.
"He had a good catch earlier before he was badly injured.
"They say it's because my father offended the Water Monkey.
"Therefore, he is not allowed to go out to sea again, for fear that the other fishermen would be affected."
Xiao Tao said as her eyes turned watery from the tears she tried very hard to keep in.
It didn't take too long for Lin Fan to know what was going on.
Xiao Tao's father's accident might have been due to the other fishermen being jealous.
All the nonsense about the Water Monkey was just an excuse to stop her father from getting out to sea again.
This reminded him of some of the villagers in An Xiang village.
He sighed and said, "You guide us out to the eastern sea. Don't worry, we will pay you ten copper coins for the boat and service."
