Wang Li hadn't expected to return from a sea voyage only to find he had a new master.
He and his brothers from the fishing village had been sailing with the ships for two years now.
Although life at sea was tedious and long, it brought them handsome rewards.
In addition to high wages, their master was very generous, allowing them to bring back small goods each time.
The income from these two sources combined earned them over a hundred taels of silver a year.
Now, hearing that they had a new employer, how could they possibly sit still?
After so many years of struggling and scraping by, they weren't clueless. They understood it was because Mrs. Gu was magnanimous and didn't sweat the small stuff with them.
If they got a different owner, there was no telling what might happen.
They all gathered in the ship's cabin, trying to get information from the current captain, Ming Tian.
