Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1034 Follow-up (9000 words, monthly ticket +6)

After Ye Yaodong shouted, he trotted over quickly. Pei Yu stared at him blankly, looking at a loss, while Ye Xiaoxi had already lowered his head and shrunk behind the dog's head.

As long as I can't see you, you can't see me.

He was so upset that he thought, will it be useful to hide like this?

“I see you!”

"It's the dog~ not me, I didn't~" She continued to hide behind the dog's head.

"You're quite good at passing the buck. I just called Ye Xiaoxi and you reacted so quickly, saying 'I didn't do it, it wasn't me, it was the dog'. Has it become an instinctive reaction?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked up hesitantly and glanced at him secretly. Seeing that he didn't seem angry, she bravely let go of the dog and ran over to hug his thighs.

"Don't tell Mom~"

"If I don't tell her, do you think she won't know? Your whole body is wet, just wait for your butt to burst!"

"I was wrong, help me~" She hung on his legs with her butt sitting on the back of his feet, calling for help in a baby voice.

"He admits his mistakes very quickly and straightforwardly, but he never repents!"

"I was really wrong. I won't do it again next time~"

"You said the same thing a few days ago."

"I was really wrong. Xiaojiu won't dare to do it again~" She tilted her head pitifully and looked at him at 90 degrees.

Ye Yaodong was afraid that she had twisted her head, so he quickly squatted down, supported her head, and then pulled her cotton jacket which was soaked. She also looked down at herself.

"Is it fun?"

She nodded, but quickly shook her head.

"You're so wet, who did it?"

She blinked, then stretched out her hand and pointed at the dog next to her. The little yellow dog immediately dodged to the side.

Ye Yaodong also slapped her hand away, "You were admitting your mistake just now, and now you want to put the blame on the dogs? Didn't you see that they were all soaked by the water you stepped on?"

"Your mother told you to walk home slowly, but you stayed there playing in the water and got so wet. Look at your trouser legs, you can wring water out of them. Do you want to fight when you get home?"

She kept her head down as she was scolded, twiddling her fingers constantly. When she heard that she was going to be beaten, she raised her head and quickly shook her head.

Ye Yaodong poked her forehead with his index finger, "You are so naughty now, how will you be in the future? You are going to tear the roof off your head, go home and change your clothes."

He didn't feel angry. What child doesn't like to be naughty and play in the water?

Jumping around and being full of energy is healthy. If your clothes get dirty or wet, just change them. Just have fun.

It was the way she instinctively passed the buck just now that looked quite skilled, which made people feel a little amused and wanted to tease her.

He held her little hand and held Pei Yu's other hand. Both of them were soaked and there was no way for them to hug each other, so they just walked slowly.

Ye Xiaoxi was happy to see that his father did not make trouble. He jumped around holding his father's hand. He would kick small stones if he saw them, and would go around them or jump over bigger stumbling blocks if he wanted to avoid them.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong held her hand and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Walk properly. You want to jump over such a big rock? Do you think your front teeth are too strong?"

"Hey hey hey~"

She was giggling with joy, not at all afraid of her father's stern face, and continued jumping up and down.

"You won't be able to laugh anymore."

Pei Yu on the other side walked obediently, but he would occasionally stick his head out to take a look at Ye Xiaoxi who was jumping around beside him, as happy as a little bee.

Ye Yaodong also felt that the two girls had quite different personalities, one was lively and the other was well-behaved.

Let her be happy for a while, she won't be able to smile once she enters the house.

After being rescued, the dogs quickly shook off the water droplets on their bodies and trotted back home.

The old lady had just killed half of the jumping fish when she saw Ye Yaodong coming back with two wet little people. She quickly stood up crying.

"Why is he so wet? What were you playing for? Go in and change your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold. This child becomes like this when I don't watch him for a while... He needs to be changed several times a day..."

"It was raining yesterday, and I fell down while running outside. I had already changed my clothes, and you are wet again today. Your mother must be angry and will beat you..."

Ye Xiaoxi's cheerful expression immediately turned into a sad face when she stepped into the house. She hugged the old lady's thighs in fear, "Grandma, help me... I'll be good..."

"Are you still being well behaved? If you get dressed again, you'll have no clothes to change into. You'll have to wrap yourself in the quilt naked and won't be able to get out of bed again." The old lady took them one by one and led them into the house.

Ye Yaodong still had to pick up some snail fossils drying on the ground, so he didn't follow Ye Xiaoxi into the house. He just watched her walk away, looking back every few steps.

"father……"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Those who deserve to be beaten will be beaten."

She pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry, and even before the fight started, it felt like tears were about to fall. She is such a good actress.

He found a small basket, threw the snail fossils that he had just thrown on the ground into the basket, and then prepared to go into the house to scoop out a bucket of water to rinse it.

In the room, Lin Xiuqing had already grabbed the child and was scolding him harshly. As soon as he entered, he heard Ye Xiaoxi crying loudly and shouting, "I don't dare to do it anymore."

Even before the whip in Lin Xiuqing's hand hit her body, she was already crying loudly with tears and snot streaming down her face.

"I haven't even hit you yet, why are you crying?"

"Don't hit me~ woooooo~"

"Stop it."

Receive in one second.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and her mouth closed, then looked at the whip in her mother's hand. When the whip was swung down, she blinked several times, and then when it landed on her body, she closed her eyes and began to cry loudly.

"You're wearing such thick pants, it doesn't hurt at all when you're beaten, why are you crying?"

The more Lin Xiuqing scolded her, the more she cried. In anger, she simply took off her pants and beat her.

"Atai, Atai..."

"You... stop fighting... it's so cold without your pants... stop fighting, stop fighting... change your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold... change first and then fight..."

The old lady was originally standing aside and watching. When she heard Ye Xiaoxi calling her, she immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Go away! This child is not obedient at all. He refuses to change his ways every day. No matter how many times I tell him to do this, he doesn't even know where his ears are. He only listens in one ear and lets it out in the other..."

"You are still young and ignorant. Just talk to me and I will listen..."

"Where would she listen? She's covered in new clothes in the blink of an eye. I have no more clothes to change into. She's always looking for trouble for me... If I don't beat her up to make her remember it, she won't be afraid..." Lin Xiuqing beat and scolded her at the same time.

"Who told you to take her to the beach? You took her to the beach yourself and blamed her for playing for a whole day..."

The old lady spoke unreasonably, and while she was angry and didn't move, she snatched the whip from her hand and quickly stuffed it into the stove. Rice was cooking in the pot, and the blazing fire made the bamboo sticks crackle.

"Okay, that's all. No need to fight. Hurry and change your clothes..."

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened as he watched the old lady cut off the firewood directly from the bottom of the pot. It was amazing.
Ye Xiaoxi stopped crying when she saw the whip that was used to beat her was burned. She stared with wet eyes and looked back and forth at the adults in the room.

Then, because his pants were still hanging on his ankles, he took small steps and hid behind the old lady again.

Lin Xiuqing's hands were empty, and she was so angry that she glared, "I'm beating my child, why are you interfering? How can you spoil your child like this?"

The old lady protected the child behind her, "You have already beaten her, haven't you? She already knows she was wrong. She won't dare to do it again next time. She will be good and obedient..."

She took the children's hands again and led them one by one into the house.

"Hurry up and change their clothes. They are wet and they will catch a cold if they wear them for so long. Xiaoyu is stunned. Don't scare the children. Change their clothes quickly."

Lin Xiuqing's chest was heaving with anger. She turned around and glared at Ye Yaodong, "You are getting old and confused. I beat my child and burned my whip. Sooner or later, she will be spoiled. All of you..."

"Don't be so picky... What did I do? I didn't do anything. I didn't stop it. It wasn't me who set it on fire. What are you telling me?"

He replied, and finally quickly scooped a bucket of water and took it to the door, so as not to stay and get in her way and suffer the consequences.

"Where's your ladle? I need to cook..."

"I'll wash the stone and return it to you."

"What do these broken stones look like? People who don't know would think they are gold. You mess around with these messy things all day long and don't even take care of your children..."

After Lin Xiuqing finished scolding the older one, she continued to scold the younger one. Hearing the old lady urging her in the house, she had to go back into the house to get them clothes to change and slap them on the butt a few more times.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this at the door.

At this time, his parents also came over, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked about the fight that had just happened at the door.

"What's going on? I just got home and heard the neighbors saying that Haozi and his wife were fighting in front of your house. They also talked about a letter of denunciation or something. They also said that he ordered someone to beat up his father-in-law. I was confused and didn't understand what was going on."

"Your father is the same. He sits at home all day long and doesn't know anything. He doesn't know anything when asked and he doesn't even know why he's sitting at the door."

Father Ye retorted unconvincedly, "I went up the mountain to cut bamboo and slice bamboo strips early in the morning. Otherwise, how could there be so many baskets at home? I had to weave them bit by bit. Do you really think I sit around all day and go around like you?"

"You don't know what happened at the door of that house?"

"What do I know? Is the entrance of my old house right next to the entrance of Dongzi's house? They are so far away, how would I know? The neighbors on both sides just heard about it and just started talking about it..."

"Aiya, what are you arguing about? This just happened, less than half an hour ago. It's good enough that half the village knows about it. Why are you making a fuss as soon as you get here?"

"Tell me what happened first. I heard them talking about this and that, but I didn't understand anything. I just heard that the couple was fighting to death, and they brought you and his father-in-law into the story. It sounded like a mess."

Ye Yaodong put the basket in the corner to dry in the sun, and told his parents everything that had just happened at the doorstep.

Mother Ye slapped her thigh after hearing this. "This damn wicked guy, it turns out that he and his wife wrote the report letter. They have a falling out, but now they are revealing it. This wicked guy deserves to go to the 18th level of hell. He shouldn't have been given the job at the time. He was just pretending, and he was deceived."

"I really can't tell. He usually seems hardworking and able to endure hardships. I thought there was finally someone decent among your friends. I didn't expect him to be so evil. Fortunately, he's exposed now and everyone knows about it. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of loss I would have suffered."

"That's right. This kind of person is really a rat in the gutter. He looks good on the surface, but he is always doing bad things behind the scenes. Wait for me to go to his door and scold him to death. What a wicked person..."

Mother Ye cursed a lot and spouted out a lot of swear words. Sisters-in-law Ye and Ye's second sister-in-law, who were standing next to her, thought something was wrong and something had happened again. They came out to take a look and found that it was the mother-in-law who was cursing. Then they went back home to cook with a look of understanding on their faces.

After hearing her scolding, Father Ye patted her on the back and said, "That's enough. No one can hear you scolding here. If someone doesn't know, they might think you are scolding your son."

"Bah, I'll go to his house and block the door to curse him. Dongzi almost got him in jail. I'll smash his house to pieces..."

Father Ye couldn't stop her from talking, so he had to walk to the side and watch Ye Yaodong fiddle with the broken stones.

"What are these? Stones? What are they for?"

"Let it air dry. Please help me go into the house and get a hand towel. I'll wipe it and put it away after it's dry."

"This stone looks so ugly, what are you doing with it?"

"Keep it in the collection first, it may be useful in the future."

"What's the use of them? They look weird. Some look like pebbles, and some look like snails."

"If I tell you, you won't know. Why are you asking so many questions?"

There was just a commotion, so he won’t tell us what this thing is used for, to avoid unnecessary trouble. Just let them think it’s just a piece of broken stone.

After Lin Xiuqing finished changing the children's clothes, she came out and saw Ye's father and immediately said, "Dad, did you go to cut bamboo this morning? Give me a bunch of forked branches later, and I'll tie them up with ropes."

"What are you using it for?"

"Beating the children," Lin Xiuqing glanced at the old lady who was leading the two children out from behind, "The previous one was thrown into the stove by grandma and burned just now."

"what?"

Father Ye looked at the old lady in confusion.

The old lady smiled and touched the two children's heads. "Just scare them. They cried so pitifully. You beat them so hard and took off their pants. Their buttocks were all covered in strips. What if they were injured?"

Hearing this, Ye's father and mother, who had just entered the door, understood everything, and the old lady protected the child and stopped him from beating him.

Thinking of the various ways the old lady had protected her grandson over the past few decades, Ye's mother said dissatisfiedly, "How could he be beaten badly? Every child is beaten from childhood to adulthood, how could he be broken? He must be beaten if he is not well behaved and disobedient. It is because you spoil him like this that he is spoiled badly."

"How can they be spoiled? They are spoiled because they were not taught well, not because they were spoiled."

"You have a bunch of twisted ideas."

Father Ye also said, "It just so happens that the forked branches that were cut off this morning are still piled up at the door. I'll bundle them up and bring them over later."

Lin Xiuqing also glared at the two children, "Behave yourself, this is your last set of clothes. The one I changed yesterday is not dry yet, and I just changed into another one. If you get it dirty or wet again, I will skin you alive."

Ye Xiaoxi shrank back and hid behind the old lady again.

"Don't scare her. She's timid. She's watching TV with Grandma in the room. Can we not go out?"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

At this time, Ye Chengyang didn't know where to go to play and came back at dinner time. He looked at the crowd of people crowded in the room, all surrounding Ye Xiaoxi, and they didn't look like they were about to start eating. He felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

He didn't dare to look around or make any sound. He stood quietly in the corner and no one noticed that he had returned.

The old lady smiled and took the two children to sit in front of the TV and turned on the TV for them. Her hands were not idle and she picked up a round bamboo plate to peel shrimps.

Lin Xiuqing muttered to Ye's father and mother for a while, as the two children just came back from playing and got wet, and then she continued to cook, with Ye's mother also helping her.

It rained for two days, so I didn't go out fishing and there was no fresh fish to eat. However, I still had some hairfish that were frozen in the ice. I stewed half a fish head the day before yesterday and half another yesterday. Today I only have fish meat, but it's still fresh because of the ice.

"These past two days, everyone has been asking me to buy some, and I said I've eaten them all. Now that something new has happened in the village, no one should ask anymore."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help gossiping with Ye's mother, "Mom, do you think they will get divorced?"

"Oh, who knows? Which couple doesn't fight? Let's see if anyone comes to mediate in a few days. If they can, they can just go through with it. They can just be in a cold war for a few days, and then they'll talk and everything will be fine. They've been together for so long, so just make do with it..."

"I think it's going to be difficult. You didn't know anything just now. You beat him to death. His wife even said she wanted to buy rat poison to kill him. I hope he doesn't get poisoned before being beaten to death..."

"They always say harsh words like this. What couple doesn't say harsh words when they fight?"

After saying this, Ye's mother felt something was wrong. This man had been beaten half to death and carried home, so he must have started making trouble again.

"No, I have to go out and take a look. There must be another fight going on now."

After she said this, she immediately threw away the vegetable leaves in her hand and hurried out, fearing that she would miss the opportunity.

Ye Yaodong and his son sat at the door and watched his mother rush out like a gust of wind, as if she had forgotten something important.

Father Ye hurriedly shouted behind him: "Where are you going? It's almost time for dinner, and you're still running out?"

"You guys eat first, don't worry about me." Ye's mother's voice faded away, and they all started to jog.

"I don't know what you do every day. You are so impetuous even at your age."

Ye Yaodong ignored his mother who was running out in a hurry, and started chatting with his father.

"Have you asked my eldest and second uncles about repairing the tomb?"

"I'll go over and ask after dinner. I just wanted to say it a few days ago, so I'll take it easy and give them some time to think about it. It's been raining these past two days and I haven't been out yet. I'll go after dinner."

"Well, I plan to go to the shipbuilder later and order ten boats."

"Ah? Why did you order so many boats?" Ye's father looked at him in surprise.

"Wait until July or August to go to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish. It's already the end of March now, so make reservations a few months in advance, otherwise it will be too late if you leave it too late."

"Are you really planning to pull a bunch of small boats over there when the time comes?"

"Of course, since there won't be many ships this year, at most we'll double the number, so we'll make as much money as we can. Next year, there will probably be even more. By then, the trench won't last a week and will be emptied. We'll just take a look around and then have to go out to sea again to trawle."

Father Ye frowned and thought about it and felt that what he said was right. There were only a few more fishing boats around them this year, but there were many more fishing boats in the town. Word of mouth spread, and Chen Jianian made money by being an intermediary. Of course, the more fishing boats he brought, the more he would earn.

Last year they fished for more than a month and a half, but this year they may only fish for a month at most, and then they all have to search slowly on the sea.

"You can only do this for a while, and others will follow your lead..."

"If they follow my example the year after next, they will have nothing to do but eat dirt."

The one who makes money is only the first one to try something new. The later ones who follow the trend will probably lose everything they have.

"Oh, that's true. There will definitely be more ships next year, so this method won't work."

"When the time comes, we'll hire a group of people to go out and salvage the fish. Two people will share a small wooden boat. When we come back, we'll sell the small boats we ordered to them at a lower price. Or we can use it as wages directly. It's up to them to choose."

"That's fine. If they really had to pay for it, they might not be willing to do so. But if they were asked to pay for it with their wages, they would probably be willing to do so."

For most people, it is easy for money to come into your pocket, but difficult to take it out. It is not easy to find a job nowadays. Most people are willing to do this if they can earn a living by making a small wooden boat with a little effort.

"Okay, let's do it."

Catching jellyfish is only suitable for small boats, so his boat can only be used to transport people. When the time comes, he can send the people and the small boat to the destination, and let his father continue to drive the Dongsheng out to sea to trawle, while he will stay to guard it.

Moreover, the seven trawlers he ordered will probably be delivered in the near future, and then he will use one to transport the goods on the 7 small wooden boats.

perfect!

There are still several months to go, and by the flood season, we might be able to get several ships. Their shipbuilding is carried out simultaneously in small groups.

If a few more come, he will bring more men with him, and then he will start killing people indiscriminately. Half of the sea will belong to him then.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. He makes a fortune while everyone is inexperienced and unresponsive. By next year, there will probably be nothing to earn. It's a good time to stop and let them divide the cake among themselves. He can go about his business of collecting fresh produce!

Don't leave any money behind, make a lot of money and be one step ahead of others.

More boats can also contribute to the villagers. The more fishing boats there are in the village, the richer it will be.

Seeing that he had thought it through thoroughly, was organized and planned well, Ye's father could not say anything against it.

Ten small boats only cost two or three thousand yuan, which is much cheaper than the 35 yuan seafood collection boat he ordered some time ago. It is just a fraction of the original price, but the profit it brings may increase tenfold, and there will be no loss if he sells the boat at will afterwards.

As expected, the better people are at making money, the more they spend it. Now they spend thousands or tens of thousands at every turn. He feels so painful when he hears about it, but when he thinks about the returns, he can't say anything to stop it.

"Then take a look at it yourself. If you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. There are only three or four months left. If you want to order it, hurry up. It's not that fast for them to prepare materials and do the work. After all, this is a small wooden boat made by the master himself, not from a shipyard, so the efficiency is not that high."

"Well, when I booked the fresh food boat a few days ago, I thought of this little wooden boat, but I couldn't get away for the moment. Now that the rain has stopped, I will go and book it in the afternoon."

……

Ye's mother didn't even come back for dinner, and everyone at the table was still waiting there.

Father Ye said directly, don't wait, just leave her a bite to eat.

Even after dinner, Ye's mother didn't come back. After Ye's father scolded and complained about her, he walked out with Ye Yaodong, ready to do what they had just discussed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the village, they heard about the big drama that had just happened.

The father and son listened as they walked. In the village, after dinner, there were small groups of people chatting here and there. It was a rare sunny day today, so everyone came out to bask in the sun after eating. Moreover, they were in urgent need of sharing the opera that had just ended with their neighbors.

By the time the two of them reached the grocery store, they had almost pieced together the whole story.

It turned out that in the morning, the women helped Haozi's wife back to her parents' home. After telling her that it was Haozi who beat her, they didn't feel comfortable saying anything else and just left.

Seeing their daughter being beaten half to death, the Wang family was so angry that they picked up weapons and went to the house to fight. Then the two families started fighting. It was a very fierce fight and everything that could be smashed in the house was smashed. The villagers later helped to separate the two groups.

As a result, just after we persuaded the man to go home, less than half an hour later, he came to the door again.

When Ye's mother first arrived, the second show had just begun. After listening to a lot of gossip, she watched the show from beginning to end.

At this moment, Ye's mother was chatting with others at the entrance of the convenience store and was reluctant to go home for dinner.

"He was so evil that he even hired people to attack my father-in-law's house, throwing manure and beating people. Last year, there was a big commotion in the village. Do you remember?"

"Remember, the feces were all over the place, and the whole family was tied to the toilet. It was really immoral..."

"He is still my father-in-law, or my brother-in-law, he is really wicked..."

"They are all worthless. The men are worthless, and the women are worthless. They all have their share. No wonder people from the same family stick together."

"They have just been persuaded to go back. Everyone is still persuading Lao Wang to just forget it. Who knows if they will fight again? I heard that the couple has been fighting fiercely in the past few months."

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be so mean and cruel. Who would beat his wife to death like this? It's been so long, you can't do this in front of the children..."

The father and son listened to the discussions of the whole village along the way.

Ye Yaodong was calm. Look, he didn't have to do anything, his spit could drown people. And thanks to the help of the villagers, the Wang family and Haozi were in a fight right now. With new grudges and old hatreds, Haozi's life would probably not be easy.

This really proves the saying that those who do evil will eventually perish.

"Mom, why don't you go home for dinner and still talk here?"

"You guys finished eating so quickly?"

"Faster? It's almost one o'clock now, still faster?"

"Ah? It's already one o'clock? Oh oh oh oh... I'll go home and eat now..."

The father and son watched her go home, then they divided their things and went about their business. However, some villagers still pulled Ye Yaodong aside to ask whether the letter of complaint was true or false.

"Of course it's true. Fortunately, our village doesn't like to report. Wouldn't it destroy the simple atmosphere of our village? If everyone reports back and forth, how can we live like this?"

"If people get to know us, they will tell others that everyone in our village has such bad character and is so immoral. This will damage the political image of our village."

"People from other villages will never come to our village. Our reputation has been ruined. People from other villages will avoid our village. Even vendors won't come to our village anymore."

"So the village committee saw that the person who put the envelope in was acting suspiciously, so they opened the mailbox and checked the letter. They found out that it was a report letter, so they stopped it and gave me the letter, telling me to be careful of the villains in the village."

"I have always been upright, so I am not afraid of such sneaky tricks, but we cannot allow this kind of reporting culture in our village. We are simple folks, and we cannot let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel and ruin the reputation of our entire village."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, what Dongzi said cannot ruin the reputation of our village. People from other villages will not dare to associate with us in the future. If vendors don't come, we won't be able to buy anything.

"That's really bad. In the past, many people have been treated badly because of reports..."

"Dongzi makes money by selling dried fish. We all know that. He is not a smuggler. He cannot be wrongly accused just by a letter of accusation."

"Yes, so many people are working in his workshop now..."

Hearing that everyone's attention had been diverted, Ye Yaodong quietly left. From then on, he took the small path to avoid being stopped and questioned.

After the weather cleared up, the sun hung high in the sky all day, shining brightly from morning to night. The muddy country dirt roads were mostly dried up by the whole day's exposure to the sun, and the moisture on the vegetation on the roadside was also completely absorbed.

The warm sun caused the temperature to rise significantly, and in just one day everyone took off their cotton-padded jackets and only had to wear sweaters.

There are also many ducks swimming in some ditches on the road. The ducks are the first to know when the river water warms in spring.

The willow trees gradually sprouted their tender green buds. A spring rain awakened the earth, and there was a vibrant atmosphere everywhere.

Ye Yaodong was out for the whole afternoon. When he came back, his cheeks were red from the sun. As soon as he got home, he picked up the teapot and took a big gulp of tea from the spout.

"It was terribly cold yesterday, and it's terribly hot today. The temperature difference is at least ten degrees in two days. It's really abnormal. It wasn't that hot in the morning."

"The sun had just come out in the morning, and the temperature wasn't that high. Of course it wasn't that hot. The temperature at noon is higher than in the morning and evening. By the way, your friend came to see you when you went out."

"Who is it?"

"Zheng and Xiaoxiao probably heard about the farce this morning, so they came to check it out this afternoon. But you happened to be out, so they came to nothing."

"Oh." Ye Yaodong sat on the chair and didn't want to move. "I just came back. I won't go out. I'll go find them tomorrow."

"Have you booked the boats?"

"Yeah, it's agreed."

"Your ambition is growing."

"It's about making money. What's the big deal? The cost isn't that big anyway."

Lin Xiuqing changed the subject, "Dad almost had a fight with uncle this afternoon."

"what?"

"Dad came back and said that uncle couldn't come up with the money, so he asked us to wait for another two years until Afan's financial situation improved and he had some money in his hands, or when Ahong was released, he would ask his two sons to help raise some money."

Ye Yaodong frowned, somewhat doubting whether this was what his uncle meant.
Do you really think he's a big shot?

"Is he threatening? He's trying to pull Brother Afan in, or find a way to get Brother Hong out? What's the point of fighting? Is it because this matter wasn't discussed?"

"No, listen to me. My uncle said that he only has these two sons, and he has to rely on them for the rest of his life. Unlike my father, he has three sons, all of whom are successful and have something to look forward to. He said that he hasn't even saved enough money for his own retirement. The family is so poor that he can't make any money at his age. He can't even take care of himself, so how can he take care of his ancestors?"

"He will have to wait two years until his sons get better before he can come up with the money. He can't force a living person to death over a dead person. A living person is more important than a dead person, after all."

"Dad came back so angry that his eyes were almost as big as cow eyes. He was so angry that he scolded everyone at home. The old lady was in a bad mood and stayed in the house all afternoon."

Ye Yaodong's brows were furrowed, and his good mood was gone.

"What are you talking about? If you don't have money, just say you don't have money. You can just ask us to help you pay for it first and then pay it back when you have money. What are you talking about? Is this human language?"

"What do you mean by forcing a living person to death because of a dead person? Is there anyone so unfilial as him? He is so old, and he wants to eat a dog's stomach? The one who is exposed to the wind and rain on the mountain is his own father."

He clenched his fists in anger.

"That's what my father said, saying that my uncle is living a miserable life. We just need him to agree, and we don't have to force him to pay."

"Dad also said that he knew Uncle was in a bad situation right now, and as long as he said a few good words to us, we could help advance the money, and when they get rich in the future, they can return the money to us, isn't that enough? Wouldn't that make everyone happy? Is there any need to say this?"

"Fuck it, what did Afan say when he went back? He said something like that. And because of that, they got into a fight?"

"They didn't fight. They almost did. Luckily, Brother Afan stopped them and talked them back. Then they got angry again and cursed for a long time."

“Fuck it…” Ye Yaodong cursed, all the dirty words he had learned from playing for decades came out.

"If you dare to hit my dad, I will beat you up at your doorstep."

Lin Xiuqing watched as veins on his hands bulged, and she didn't dare to say anything provocative. "Fortunately, Second Uncle has been persuaded and has agreed. Dad said he went to Second Uncle first, thinking that Second Uncle would be easier to talk to. When Dad was talking, Brother Asheng was also there, helping to talk."

"Ah."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, she shut up.
