Some time ago, a few villagers from the fishing village had gone out to the sea to fish and had encountered a huge storm. When they were on their way back, there had been a problem with the engine and the fishing boat flipped into the sea, leaving one dead and two injured.
The town's leader had then inspected the villagers' fishing boats and found that most of the fishing boats had reached the end of their lifespan. As such, he had given them a sum of money and asked the fishermen to change their fishing boats.
The Gu family also wanted to buy a new fishing boat. Originally, Father Gu had wanted to go to the boat factory in town with the village head, but he had caught a cold, and asked Gu Meng to go instead.
