Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1137: Parade through the streets

"Why are you chasing me away..."

"Then tie up their whole family and send them to the police station. We were born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze. We will never cause trouble or fight. We are all honest citizens, but we can't let others bully us. Since they have occupied our house and don't acknowledge it, then we should go to the police. They broke into private houses and occupied personal property. They deserve a few years in prison."

After Ye Yaodong said this, they were immediately frightened and their legs went limp. The children were already crying and shouting for everyone not to catch them.

How can ordinary people not be afraid of the Public Security Bureau? It is a natural respect for them.

"I...I'll pack up and leave right away..."

"Weren't you being stubborn just now? It's too late. Watch the gate and don't let them get away. Go get a rope and tie these people up and send them directly to the police station. How dare you occupy someone else's house?"

It's a good opportunity to use them as an example to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, such things will continue to happen. After all, he can't stay here all year round.

They were just unlucky and ran into a gunshot, and were just taken to the police station in a swagger.

It's only been a month since anyone has lived in this house, and it's already been occupied by someone with ulterior motives. If they wait a year, that would be even more outrageous, as people would think the house is theirs.

The workers all started moving immediately, some looking for ropes, some guarding the gate. The yard was filled with the cries of children crying for their parents, and the voices of women begging for mercy and admitting their mistakes.

The noise from their side also attracted a large number of nearby residents and neighbors, who all ran to the door to check what was going on. Ye Yaodong also walked to the door and said to his neighbors with a smile.

"I was away for only a month, and this family came out of nowhere and occupied my house. They broke into my house and broke the lock. They are bullying me because I am a stranger. I have all the necessary documents and I am the legal owner of the house. They are registered. They broke into my house and occupied my personal property, which is illegal. Don't panic, I will just send them to the police station and will never beat anyone."

"My neighbors should be familiar with me. They should know that I bought this house two months ago and have lived here for two months. I just went back to my hometown last month. This group of shameless people picked the lock. We need to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they think that the police here are just there to do nothing and that they can just occupy the house as long as no one is at home. The public security is so bad."

Some neighbors echoed: "Yes, I recognize you, you are a young man with a lot of energy, and you once brought us fish."

"Yes, you all lived here for two months before. I watched Lao Qian and his family sell the house to you. It was wrong for them to do this."

"They are Lao Qian's relatives. When we saw them suddenly move in half a month ago, we thought you had sold the house again."

There are also people who point fingers but keep silent and turn a blind eye to the matter as if it has nothing to do with them.

Ye Yaodong quickly thanked him, "Thank you. It turns out that there are more good people in this world. You didn't discriminate against me just because I'm from another place. You even said something fair. It's said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I hope you can take care of me in the future."

"Why not just drive them away and teach them a lesson? There are so many children, how pitiful..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the children, big and small. The older ones, those aged twelve or thirteen, and those aged eleven or twelve, all stood there without any reaction and just looked at him timidly. The younger ones, who were around five, six, seven or eight years old, had already started to cry.

Children are naturally a vulnerable group. It is bad enough to kidnap adults, but it is really inhumane to kidnap children as well.

Even if there was nothing wrong with what he did and the winds of change had to change, he still had to be accused of tying up the child. The parents were occupying someone else's house, what could the child know? Even treating a child like this is not a good thing.

Someone will definitely say that.

He thought about it, and said in a calm tone, "What everyone said is right. Parents should bear the consequences of their mistakes, but the children should not be harmed. So don't tie up the children, just kick them out."

"Don't trust them, please help. How can they, outsiders, have the money to buy a house? My uncle's family went abroad, and I only rented the house to them for two months. Later, they asked me to take over and help look after the house. Who knew they would come back and use their numbers to deal with us..."

The man on the opposite side calmed down after the panic, shouting for help from his neighbors, and waved a long bench left and right to prevent the boatmen from approaching.

The woman opposite also reacted and immediately rushed to the stove, picked up a kitchen knife and pointed it at them.

"Don't come over here, I don't want to go to the police station. My uncle asked us to move in here. You outsiders shouldn't take advantage of my uncle's absence to confuse right and wrong."

"All the neighbors know that we are relatives. Don't be fooled by them. They are using their numbers to capture us and occupy our house. From now on, the house will be theirs..."

"Don't trust them, they are outsiders and scammers, let's help drive them out..."

The couple kept shouting, one holding a bench and the other holding a kitchen knife, to prevent the boatmen from approaching. After shouting like this, some of the neighbors were actually shaken.

Having lived together in this area for decades, everyone knows who the relatives are in which family.

Emotionally, these people certainly trust this family of seven or eight more.

Ye Yaodong cursed, "You want to occupy the house with empty words? A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. I am an outsider and I am not afraid of going to the police station. What are you afraid of? Only those with evil intentions will be afraid."

"Besides, if your uncle entrusted the house to you, he would definitely give you the key directly. Look at the door and the lock. Has it been pried open? He openly invited you to look at the house, why would you pry the lock and move in?"

What needs to be said must be said, and what needs to be argued must be argued. With so many neighbors watching, he is an outsider and he has to be right in public opinion.

Neighborhood relations are very important these days. It’s not like in later times, when people living in a residential area don’t know each other and even those living on the same floor are not familiar with each other.

"That's because you, a stranger, rented the house and changed the lock, so we had no choice but to pry the lock off."

"Fellow villagers, please help me. Everyone knows that I am a relative of the owner of this house. These people are scammers. Please help drive them out. Drive them out of this town."

Seeing that the couple was stubborn, he became annoyed. He bought the house well, but ended up having right and wrong turned against him.

"I don't have time to waste on you. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau. I bought this house in the first place. I have the files to check. I'm not afraid. If you are afraid, it means you have something wrong."

"My neighbors saw me buy a house two months ago. When Mr. Qian passed away, he also said goodbye to his neighbors, saying that he was selling the house and going abroad with his son to enjoy a better life. Many people heard it and saw me helping them move their luggage. You can't change it with just a few words."

"One of you should go and invite the police over. They are holding knives and want to kill people. This is to take our lives. The punishment should be doubled."

The woman opposite was frightened by him and her face turned pale. The knife in her hand shook and she couldn't hold it steadily. In panic, she looked to her husband beside her for help.

The man's face turned pale and he was sweating coldly. Seeing a boatman volunteering to report to the police, his hands and feet were shaking and he shouted immediately.

"Wait... there's... something we can discuss..."

"It's too late. At first I told you to get out but you didn't listen. You even turned black into white. Now you dare to threaten us with knives and weapons. You also want to incite public opinion to make the neighbors think you are the bad guys and drive us away. You want everyone to take the blame for you."

Ye Yaodong told the boatman to go out and call for help instead of wasting time talking nonsense with them. Anyway, he had made everything clear in front of the neighbors, and no one was a fool.

The neighbors on both sides also clearly understood who was right and who was wrong, and they all pointed fingers at them.

"They look so guilty. It seems like they are really occupying someone else's house. This is totally wrong..."

"Yes, they broke the lock and moved in when no one was at home. They refused to leave even after being caught, and even tricked us into helping them drive them away. They are so mean..."

"You can't bully people just because they are from outside the area. They didn't do anything wrong, but they bought a house and it's still occupied by others. This is not acceptable. People should be more moral."

"This young man is quite nice. He sent us fish and jellyfish a few months ago. He even asked workers to fetch water for us when he saw that it was inconvenient for us old people to fetch water..."

"You two should stop talking nonsense and pack your things and get out. The owner of the house is back. Don't make a scene. It would be embarrassing if you were to go to the police station..."

The crowd now unanimously began to dissuade the couple. Those who were hesitant at first and more inclined towards the couple now understood the situation. The crowd has sharp eyes.

After the overwhelming public opinion, the couple could no longer hold on. Moreover, Ye Yaodong had asked someone to contact the police, and they did not want to go to jail.

Originally, they thought that as long as the neighbors were willing to trust them and work together to drive out Ye Yaodong and his gang of outsiders, they would not be alone or weak. As long as they could convince the neighbors to trust them, they could occupy the house.

Who knew they would call the police at every turn? Who would call the police at every turn these days? Don’t they usually call the village committee?

The woman was in a panic and helpless, she couldn't even pick up the knife, and she just looked at her husband anxiously.

The men were sweating profusely.

Ye Yaodong gave a look to the departing boatman, and someone immediately rushed forward to snatch the knife from the woman's hand, then subdued her by twisting her arm.

The others also rushed forward, and by the time the man reacted and raised the stool, he was already outnumbered. The stool was raised high and before it fell, everyone rushed forward to snatch it away.

"Good job! Tie him up and send him to the police station. Your salary for today will be doubled."

Everyone cheered happily, "Okay!"

"Don't arrest my parents..."

"No……"

"Kick these kids out and let them go back to where they came from. They are old enough to walk home on their own. If they don't want to go, let them go to the police station with their parents."

Everyone had prepared the ropes long ago, and after subduing the couple, they tied their hands with the ropes.

Ye Yaodong turned around and said to his neighbors, "I really bought this house. I spent 2200 yuan. I also went to the street office to register it, and I also went to the police station and the housing management department. No matter what these people say, they can't change the fact that I am the owner of the house. I am not afraid of going to the police station. If the villagers still have questions, they can go with us to the police station. I just did my job and didn't beat or scold them."

Everyone nodded.

"It's this late, the Public Security Bureau should be off work..."

"There are people on duty, don't be afraid."

"Then let's go together. We have nothing to do anyway..."

After their hands were tied, the couple panicked and begged for mercy, but Ye Yaodong turned around and talked to his neighbors and ignored them.

After tying up the couple, everyone pulled them out of the house using the ropes, with their children following them crying.

"We are really wrong. We will leave immediately. Don't send us to the Public Security Bureau..."

"Boss, we are packing up and leaving now. Boss, please forgive us this time..."

“Please… We can’t go to the police station and get arrested. There are so many children here… For the sake of the children, please forgive us this time… We won’t do it again next time…”

Ye Yaodong looked at them, "So you admit that you broke the lock of my house and occupied it. Your relative didn't tell you to look at the house. You were jealous of the house and thought that I, a stranger, would not stay here forever. You wanted to occupy it, right?"

The couple nodded quickly.

"Please, we are wrong, let us go, we will pack up and leave right away."

The villagers all shook their heads after hearing this.

Some people also came to help and said that they should just let them go. It’s good enough that they know they are wrong, and they can just be driven away. There are so many children around.

Ye Yaodong said hard-heartedly: "I gave you a chance when we first came in, but you were stubborn. Now it's too late to be afraid. Take you away and send you to the police station."

We cannot compromise and must make an example of someone who has done something stupid.

After all, it is really impossible for him to stay here all year round. If he ties these two people up and walks them around the street, everyone will know that this family is trying to occupy his house while he is away, and anyone who has other ideas will have to think twice in the future.

By the way, let the locals know that the house is his.

Ye Yaodong left two people to look after the house and supplies, and the rest followed him to the Public Security Bureau.

Originally the couple was still begging for mercy with soft words, but once they were on the street, they both shrank their necks and dared not say a word, as they were too embarrassed.

After all, they are locals and they always have relatives and friends there.

The neighbors followed behind to watch the fun and explained the whole story to the confused people.

The two men being tied up and walked on the street was equivalent to a parade. Except that no rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at them, it was no less exciting than the scenes in the previous P&D. People in the city had not seen such a scene for many years.

As they walked along, more and more people gathered, and the event was publicized more and more widely. It was already evening and getting dark, and many people had finished their meals and were sitting at the doorstep to enjoy the cool air. They were all attracted.

Before I even got to the police station, the police came.

After understanding the whole story, Ye Yaodong handed the family over to the Public Security Bureau to be taken away first. At the same time, he also reported the address of the house and his own name so that the police could check it when they returned.

As soon as the couple saw the police, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

When Ye Yaodong handed the person over to the police, he had achieved the purpose of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. This happened in full view of everyone, making it more deterrent.

After the whole family was taken away by the police, the crowd had not yet dispersed and was still talking.

He turned to everyone and said, "Thank you, folks. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Houses are the biggest of all big things. Many people cannot afford to buy a house in their lifetime. I believe that if your house is occupied by outsiders, you will feel very uncomfortable."

"Being poor is not a reason to occupy someone else's house. Everyone is poor, but we must be poor with dignity and not let others look down on us. Our country is a country that abides by the law. Occupying other people's houses is a crime. We ordinary people must abide by the law. Since they have violated the law, we should hand them over to the police. We cannot lynch them at will."

"This matter is over, we will go back first."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he led his men out of the crowd and headed home.

"Brother Dong, did you really buy this house? You didn't rent it, did you?"

"I was just worried. You kept saying you were going to the police station. I thought you were just fooling them and bluffing."

"I thought he was trying to scare them, so I was scared to death when I heard we were going to the police station, and Brother Dong kept emphasizing it."

"That's amazing, Adong. He must have bought it, that's why he said it so loudly and he's not afraid of going to the police station for a confrontation and checking the files."

Ye Yaodong nodded. After what happened, everyone knew that he was the one who bought the house, so there was no need to deny it.

"Of course I bought it, otherwise I wouldn't be so tough."

"This house is not expensive at 2200 yuan. Although it looks shabby and a bit old, it is still quite big, with several rooms and a yard. It is in the city. In our countryside, it would cost more than yuan to build a two-story house."

"Then we must have spent so much money to build new houses in the countryside, but the city is bustling, nothing can compare."

"After what happened today, no one will dare to occupy Adong's house when we are not here anymore, right?"

Ye Yaodong shrugged. "It's hard to say. Who can be sure before the incident? Anyway, after this incident, everyone knows that the house is mine. Anyone who is interested will have to think twice."

“I don’t know where this family came from.”

"Didn't the neighbors just say that? This family has more than a dozen people, but the old and young are all squeezed into a small house. This man has an older brother, and his family has six or seven people, including two elderly people. It's really too crowded, so they set their sights on Adong's house."

"I thought that Brother Dong is from another place and he is not here now. Who knows when he will come over? That's why I had evil thoughts. I thought that I would not be discovered if I just moved in. What's more, they are relatives of the previous owner, so they have all the excuses to move in."

"Well, it's better to find someone to look after the house. Otherwise, if someone else lives in it for a long time, everyone will think the house is theirs. Even if Adong's name is on the file, the villagers won't recognize it. If a group of people want to drive us away, it will be really troublesome. After all, we are outsiders."

"Luckily we arrived in time today and found them. They didn't live there for long. The neighbors all knew that it was Adong who bought the house, so we were able to arrest them and send them to the police station."

Ye Yaodong thought so too. If the house was occupied by someone for a long time, it might be difficult to deal with.

He had also heard about the situations of those judicial auction houses in his previous life. The houses were bought by someone, but the old owners refused to move out and kept making all kinds of excuses and making a lot of noise. It was impossible for the police to guard your house all the time and solve the problem for you.

They come to make trouble every day and life is no longer possible. Buying a house has messed up the life of the whole family.

He thought that maybe he could rent it out for half a year by signing a contract, which would be reasonable and logical.

The big guy talked as he went along, and soon they returned home.

The two people who stayed behind to look after the house had already sat down to eat, and left some for the person who had just returned.

"Hey, this family just finished their meal, so it's a bargain for us. We've already cooked some rice in the pot, and we can eat again after we finish moving the things."

Ye Yaodong looked at the table full of leftovers and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you guys are so happy. I left you to look after the house, and you guys all got to eat?"

"After a day on the boat, they were hungry and tired. They couldn't eat anyway."

"Put all their things in the yard. When their family gets the news, they will probably come over and make a fuss. Throw their things out for them."

With such a large family moving in here, there's no reason why their family members wouldn't know about it. They must know about it.

I was thinking that if I could occupy it, maybe we could move in together later.

"Ok."

"Leave four of you here, and the rest of you go to the dock to move the goods. My dad is probably getting anxious waiting on the boat alone. You two should do more work after you've had enough food."

"Hahaha okay."

"It's getting dark, everyone hurry up and move the goods, those who stay to clean the house can also cook. If anyone comes to make trouble during this time, you will have to deal with it on your own."

Everyone started to move.

Father Ye was alone at the dock, waiting anxiously, like an ant on a hot pot, he kept turning around, chanting "Amitabha", why hasn't he come yet? God bless him, don't let anything happen...

It was as if the old lady was possessed.

It was not until dark that he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Yaodong running towards him again.

"What happened to you? You took so long. Two hours have passed. It was already dark when you came back. I thought something happened to you."

"Something happened, so it was delayed."

Ye Yaodong asked people to get on board to continue moving the goods, while he explained to his father.

"Then you didn't buy a good house. It's not a good idea for outsiders to buy houses here. If no one is watching, something bad could happen. It hasn't been long since it was occupied."

"It's inevitable, so when I was in the city, I didn't think about buying a house. When I went to the provincial capital, although I was tempted, I didn't dare to buy it. It's just that this house is really a coincidence, and I feel unwilling to not buy it, so I thought of spending more than 2000 to buy one. Just take a gamble. If I don't buy it, I will definitely regret it in the future."

If you don't buy it, you will definitely regret it later. You don't know how many times the price will increase. Such a street-facing house is hard to come by.

Nowadays, everyone is short of houses. It is common to see a family of dozens of people squeezed into a house of a dozen or twenty square meters. Who would sell their house?

It is true that only those who want to go abroad to enjoy life will sell their houses, otherwise no one would be willing to sell their houses.

He doesn't take the initiative to look for it, but this kind of thing is equivalent to being delivered directly to his door, so he will definitely take it. At most, he will be on guard and then try his luck.

It's really not a big deal to spend more than 2000 yuan.

"You say every day that you will regret not buying, and the store also says that you will regret not buying."

"It's a fact. Haven't you seen how much money the shops in the city have made for me? That's a gold nugget. This house is also a gold nugget. Just look at it."

"Anyway, we should be careful about buying it. When we are here, we should get along well with the neighbors. When we rent out the house, we can also ask the neighbors to help look after it. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

"I think so too."

So when I lived here for the first two months, I often greeted my neighbors on both sides and built good relationships with them.

"Then the family that was arrested will not really go to jail, right?"

"I don't know. It depends on how strict the local police are. If they catch him strictly, he will have to stay in prison for a few years. But they still have children. The five or six children are only about four or five years old. It is possible that a big thing can be made small, and a small thing can be made nothing."

"After what happened, people are afraid now. No one will dare to occupy our house."

"I don't think we'd dare to do that in the short term. But if we're away for a long time, it's hard to say. There are always people with bad memories, and things will fade over time."

"Um……"

Father Ye didn't know what to say, he could only let him handle it.

Ye Yaodong and a few others made two trips back and forth before they managed to move all the supplies on the ship back home.

When they moved things into the house for the second time, they saw a group of people making noise at the dark doorway.

As soon as their people arrived, the situation changed instantly. They were all shirtless men, more than a dozen of them standing together, which frightened the troublemakers.

Ye Yaodong shouted, "What are you doing? We just sent a few people to the Public Security Bureau. Do you want to go to the Public Security Bureau to accompany them? It's dark now, and there are people on duty at the Public Security Bureau."

"All their stuff has been thrown out, take it and get out of here, this is our boss's house."

"We didn't touch them. They occupied our boss's house and were trying to confuse right and wrong. We just sent them to the Public Security Bureau. The police will make the final decision. If you have any objections, go to the police."

"Who asked you to occupy our boss's house? Now that you've been discovered, you still have the nerve to come and make trouble. Have some shame. If you continue to cause trouble, you'll have to go in too."

"Think carefully. If you behave yourself, he might be able to come out. Otherwise, you will have no choice but to go in and accompany him."

That family only had the old and the young, and they were a little panicked when they heard that they were going in too.

The neighbors around them also urged them to go back first.

"Oh, I'm already in the wrong, and you guys are not in the right either. Let's go back first, we don't know what will happen next."

"It's dark now. You should wait until tomorrow and ask around to see if he can be released."

"Yes, releasing the person is the most important thing. There is no point in making a fuss here now."

"This person still can't have any evil intentions...you should go back and wait until tomorrow to see what happens."

After hearing the ladder given by everyone, the family just went down the slope. They were in the wrong anyway, so they had to leave with their whole family and the luggage that was left behind.

Ye Yaodong thanked the neighbors who helped him again and again.

I was thinking that if I were to go out to sea tomorrow, I would have to leave some goods for my neighbors.

　At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I took apart my bed and found that a big hole had been bitten by the hamster in the moisture-proof grid of the bed board underneath. It had been hiding inside and chewing on something last night, and I heard the noise.

　　Then I turned over all the bed boards in the afternoon, but still couldn't find it. I didn't know if it had slipped away again when I wasn't paying attention. I looked everywhere again and finally found it under the massage chair.

　　It was really a mess, and I was so angry that I almost died.
