Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1138 Association
Life is a bunch of bad things mixed with some good things.

Buying a house has its pros and cons.

Anyway, just drive these people away. This kind of thing is inevitable. He had already thought about it when he bought the house. He just didn't want to give up the fat meat he had got.

It is always easier to accept things that are expected.

After everyone left, the neighbors gathered in groups of three or four and sat back at their doorsteps to enjoy the cool air, chatting about what had happened earlier. Ye Yaodong also invited everyone to come in.

After a tiring day of work, we encountered this kind of bad thing as soon as we arrived. Everyone was not only physically tired but also mentally tired. As soon as we entered the house, we sat down to eat without complaining. Only after our stomachs were full did we have the strength to talk.

"Brother Dong, these people won't come back tomorrow, right?"

"That's right, but we won't go out to sea tomorrow. Let's take a break. I'm going out for a while too. You guys pack your things at home, and if they come to make trouble again, chase them out."

Father Ye smiled and said, "These people have lived here for half a month and have cleaned the house very well. We don't have to do much cleaning and can go to bed after dinner."

Ye Yaodong added: "If they do anything extreme tomorrow, just tie them up and send them to the Public Security Bureau. Don't be afraid of seeing an official. The Public Security Bureau is there to serve the people. It's inconvenient for us to go out. If you have any problems, please ask the police to solve them."

"Police uncle?"

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Hey, nothing's wrong."

Father Ye looked at him with disdain and said, "We can't let them get away with it, otherwise this will happen again in the future. If they can't occupy the house, they will disgust us. If they come to our house, we have to teach them a lesson."

"Then Dad, don't go out with me tomorrow. Help me sort out those things at home. Forget about it today. Take a shower after dinner and go to bed early. You are tired after sitting on the boat all day. Put the things aside and sort them out tomorrow, and do the work tomorrow."

"Well, that's fine. I'll stay with everyone to look after the house. More people will make people wary. There are quite a lot of troubles here. Something has happened every year in the past few years, but this year has the most and the biggest incidents."

"Don't be such a pessimist. Something bad happens every year... Good luck!"

Father Ye also turned his head and spat, then continued eating.

After dinner, everyone took a quick shower, packed their luggage, and sat outside the door to enjoy the cool air and chat with their neighbors.

Before going to bed, Ye Yaodong simply arranged their shifts. The three older men on the Dongsheng took turns, working two days a day, with one day off. It was a rest, but it wasn't entirely a rest, because they had to cook for everyone at home.

The rest were the young and strong men he had found to go into the water to catch sea urchins. They couldn't stay at home to rest and had to follow his pace.

The next morning, everyone was still sleeping soundly. There was nothing to do and everyone was very relaxed, but they were woken up by the noise outside.

They came out of the house one by one, sleepy-eyed and shirtless, cursing.

"What's going on? Why are you so noisy so early in the morning? It wasn't so noisy before."

"It seems like they are all gathered around our door and talking?"

"The people who caused trouble last night are here again?"

Everyone was excited and rushed to open the door, but they smelled a foul odor when they approached the gate.

"Ugh~ Did someone dump the shit pot? Why does it stink so bad?"

"What are these people outside talking about? Isn't this too stinky?"

They complained as they unbolted the door and opened the gate, but the stench became even stronger and the disgusting objects on the door panel fell into the yard as the gate opened.

"Fuck, this is really shit~ Who did it?"

"Who did this, fuck."

"This must have been done by those guys last night in the middle of the night."

"Those bastards, they are in the wrong and yet they dare to disgust others?"

"I don't know where they live... We'll find out when we find out."

A bunch of people outside were gossiping with their noses pinched, cursing who was so wicked as to throw feces and urine on someone else's gate.

After everyone got up, Ye Yaodong came out to see what was happening. He also heard and saw everything.

He also shrugged his nose, "Damn it, those bastards are dying, throwing shit so early in the morning."

Ye's father also cursed angrily: "They are so wicked, don't let them out, keep them in jail for a few more years, they are a whole family of wicked ghosts."

"We have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully. If we dare to throw feces today, we will dare to stab you with a knife tomorrow."

"I dared to take the knife yesterday."

"It's daybreak now. When the Public Security Bureau opens for work, one of you will stand guard at the door of the Public Security Bureau. They will definitely go to the Public Security Bureau to ask for someone. When they go back, you will follow them and find out where their home is."

Everyone was excited and rushed to wait for the opportunity.

"Why don't you just ask where their home is?"

"You're stupid. We are from other places. We speak Mandarin with an accent. If something really happened to that family, everyone would know it was us. Adong did this to avoid being exposed."

"I see. How can we outsiders know where their home is? We haven't asked anyone. I'll go and watch after breakfast. It's only 5:30 now. They should be working at 8 or 8:, right?"

"After we find out about their family, what should we do?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at the idiot who asked this question, "Ask first. There are so many people here, do you want to tell everyone at the gate? Go ahead, I will punish you to clean up these feces and urine, and the one who asked the stupid question just now will also be punished. Since everyone else is up, let's cook."

The two wailed upon hearing the sad news, but they could only accept their fate.

In addition to the gate, the ground at the entrance was also covered with feces and urine. It was inconvenient for people inside to go out, and people outside didn't dare to come in, so people inside and outside just communicated with each other and stood far away from each other.

After they re-entered the house, Father Ye frowned and asked, "What are you going to do? We can't just keep watching them here. Who knows if they will do something bad again in the future."

"We'll talk about what happens next later. Anyway, after we find out his address today, we'll just give him back double the price and let him taste the stench. And add some spice to it."

After saying this, he waved to the people who were listening attentively, "Xiaowu, after dinner, go to the nearby village and buy some rat snakes, mice, and toads. The more the better."

The young man named Xiaowu was confused. "Brother Dong, are you going to throw these into that family's house? But don't rat snakes eat mice and toads?"

"It doesn't matter. If you go to collect them temporarily, they may not catch many rat snakes in a day, but toads are much easier to catch. As for mice... as long as there are enough people, there will be some. After all, every household should have these things. Anyway, as long as there are a lot, the snakes will not be able to eat them all. What we want is a variety of species."

It doesn’t matter if the method is old, as long as it works.

Anything in large quantities is enough to shock people's eyes.

What's more, watching the snake swallow those things with your own eyes might be more terrifying and more chilling than seeing it wriggling there alone.

If it wasn't so disgusting to fish out those maggots from the toilet, he would have wanted to pay someone to collect a sack and dump it in those people's homes.

Just think of a bunch of milky white bugs... Ye Yaodong shuddered all over, haha~
He decided that next time someone disgusted him, he would just respond in disgust. Anyway, he didn't have to do it himself, he just had to spend money.

There is nothing else like this in the countryside, but there are plenty of it. You wouldn't be scared if you saw it in the toilet every day, but if you see a lot of it in your own home, that would be scary enough.

Just spend some money and there will be many men rushing to do it. For people nowadays, as long as there is money to be made, being disgusting is not a problem.

Just how much you need these days...

It will be hard to find in the future, so use it and cherish it. Keep such a rare trick in the bottom of your box and don’t use it lightly.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Great! Brother Dong, you are really good and know how to discipline people."

"Hey? A bunch of snakes appeared in someone's house in the village, Adong..."

"What? What does this have to do with me? I don't dare to catch snakes, so how can I throw snakes into someone's house? There is only a tiny area around our village. If I dare to collect them, everyone will know about it."

"That's true..."

"Don't make wild guesses. I'm your boss. Don't pin all the blame on me. Get to work. I'll punish you by having you clean the door with those two over there."

"Oh, my god..."

Ye Yaodong kicked him and he quickly jumped to the side, then took a handkerchief and tied it around his nose, then walked slowly towards the door.

Xiao Wu asked again: "Then Dong Ge, how much should we charge?"

"You are stupid. Collect as many as you can. The more the better. It won't scare them to death. Take two people with you. Spend most of the day and find a village far away. You can get a sack of snakes, rats and toads for only 10 yuan. Remember to come back before dark. It's not safe after dark."

"Okay, got it."

"I'll give you the money later."

Father Ye listened to the whole thing and said, "Your method can't do anything to them, but it's enough to disgust them. You have to disgust them to death."

"OK."

He suddenly thought that there was no need to throw dung at them with these snakes, rats and toads around. Throwing dung at them would be too obvious and everyone would know that he was taking revenge.

As for snakes, rats, and toads, it's not certain. Who knows if they have offended others? Or if there is something dirty in the house that has provoked them?

"Aren't you going to visit the leader later? Let's see if you can give us some support..."

"Let's see later. This is just a trivial matter. We don't have the nerve to ask for help all day long. It's a waste of talent. At most, we can talk about our recent situation when we first arrived."

"Then see for yourself."

Ye Yaodong moved a stool and sat in the main room waiting for dinner. He watched them cleaning the filth at the door and thought about the idea he had just come up with. He felt that there should be no problem.

After the meal, he sent several people to carry out the tasks separately, and he began to pack things to be sent to the Public Security Bureau.

Ye Yaodong carried half a bag of dried fish and half a sack of noodles made from sweet potato flour. These noodles are dry and can be stored for a long time. Last year, his family made a lot and stored them there.

The two half sacks were hung on the same shoulder. One hand tightly held the opening of the sack, and the other hand held a small bucket of tea seed oil, which was squeezed by their farm and was of very good quality.

He didn't know where Zeng Weimin's home was, so he could only visit him at the police station. If he brought some expensive cigarettes and alcohol as gifts, it might be suspected of bribery and would also be harmful to his reputation. It would be a good idea to give him local specialties, which are simple and unpretentious, express his feelings, and also make people have a good reputation.

Some people give local specialties to their leaders to express their gratitude, which shows that the leader is loved by the people and is a good official.

This can be considered as him helping to place orders for free.

Zeng Weimin didn't expect that he would come again after such a short time, but seeing that he brought local specialties, he still greeted him politely with a smile and asked him to sit down.

"Didn't you go back last month? Why are you here now? It's not that close from your hometown to here, isn't it? Doesn't it take more than ten hours to sail? I thought you were just saying you'd come again."

"Haha, at that time, I felt that we had just experienced a huge change and everyone was exhausted, so I thought about sending people back first. There happened to be another typhoon at home, so I rested for a few more days. Then this time, only my boat came. Other villagers were a little scared and felt that the jellyfish fishing was about to end, so I thought I would not take this risk this year."

Ye Yaodong added: "It's a good thing I came here in time, otherwise the house I just bought some time ago would have been occupied by someone else."

Zeng Weimin looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"

He quickly recounted what happened last night, and also mentioned that this morning the family came to his house and threw feces, making his doorstep stink and the surrounding neighbors complained.

Maybe the other party's family will come again to cause trouble today and create more problems.

"This family doesn't look like good people. After occupying my house, they didn't want to keep quiet and wait for news from my family, but wanted revenge instead."

Zeng Weimin pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you need help?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head quickly and said sincerely: "The leader has helped us a lot. Last time, my father and the villagers came out so easily thanks to you. I can't trouble you for such a small matter. I will try to solve it myself first."

"Um……"

He responded casually and stood up again, "Wait here for a moment."

Zeng Weimin went out for a while and came back quickly.

"I asked around, and it's true that after work yesterday evening, someone asked the police for help and arrested a couple who had occupied a house. The couple confessed and are now in jail. They said they'll be sentenced to about 10 years, but thinking of their children to raise, they'll only be sentenced to two years. But the verdict won't come out so quickly, we'll have to wait days or half a month."

Ye Yaodong was delighted. "Ah, since you have made a decision, that's good. We can't forgive them easily after they do something bad. This will make the bad guys feel safe and secure. Although they have five children to raise, they still need to be taught the lesson they deserve."

"Otherwise, if they get away with it and don't get punished, they will do more harm to society and affect the next generation, causing them great harm."

"People nowadays have a weak legal consciousness and think that everything will be fine as long as the village committee or street office covers up for them. We are now in a new society, governed by law, and everyone must abide by the laws and regulations. Of course, we have to sound the alarm for people."

Zeng Weimin looked at him with admiration, "I didn't expect a fisherman like you could say such things. It's amazing. No wonder you dared to come here from such a faraway province."

He smiled embarrassedly, "I learned it from the newspapers, otherwise I wouldn't understand the big principles. Reading and learning are really useful."

"I'll have the police go to their house and give them a heads up. No matter how important others are, they're not as important as me, so I guess they'll behave themselves."

"Will that cause too much trouble for other police officers?"

"No, it's just a trip. It's their job. They also have to go to the family's house to give notice."

Just as they were talking, bursts of crying and shouting were heard outside, which attracted the attention of both of them.

"Go out and see."

Ye Yaodong followed behind.

But when they went out, the noise outside had died down, and they only heard other police officers yelling and cursing at the gate.

"If you dare to cause trouble at the door again, you will be arrested."

The old woman who was still sitting on the ground at the door was like a duck with its throat strangled. She didn't dare to make a sound and was helped up by her family members.

"Then...then let my son out...He was instigated by his wife. He didn't intend to occupy someone else's house. He was just deceived. If you want to arrest someone, arrest the woman..."

"Go, go, go. The bureau will decide how to deal with you. Leave now, or we will arrest you all for provoking trouble."

"Why is he here..." a middle-aged man pointed at Ye Yaodong.

"I'm here to record my statement. This morning you came to my house and threw feces. I'm here to sue you. I plan to arrest your whole family and reunite them together."

"Don't spit blood on us. Who would have seen that it was us who did it?"

"People who go out to sea at night see it."

"How can it be."

"How is it impossible? God is watching what you do. If you don't do bad things during the day, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door at night. It's only been a short while since the 7th day of the seventh lunar month, and there are still ghosts lingering in the world. If you do too many bad things, ghosts will come to your door to find you."

"Comrade Public Security, he is promoting feudal superstition..."

"It's a new society now. We can worship the God of Land, so why can't we talk about ghosts?"

"You...you fart..."

The police officers waved their hands impatiently, "Go away! If you continue to cause trouble here, we will really arrest you. Do you know where this place is? How can we tolerate you coming here to cry and make trouble?"

As he spoke, he took out a silver bracelet and held it under the sun. The silvery-white light became even brighter.

The family immediately took two steps back in panic, not daring to make a sound.

Zeng Weimin patted Ye Yaodong on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's solved."

Ye Yaodong nodded and followed behind him.

This scene fell into the eyes of the crowd watching the excitement. Everyone was whispering about Ye Yaodong's background. They said that Zeng Weimin seemed to be a higher official than others, and his shoulder insignia was different.

Everyone around could see it, including that family. They were all confused and shocked, and felt a little scared and regretful.

After Ye Yaodong went in, he thanked him again and again and let the matter go. After all, the result was almost out and there was no need to keep talking about it. He didn't intend to cause trouble to anyone in the first place, and his image had to be firmly established.

By the way, he also asked if the number plate for jellyfish fishing permission he applied for last month had been made and if he could go and get it.

Although he did not plan to salvage jellyfish, at least putting a sign on it would make him appear legal and avoid being attacked at sea.

"Well, as long as you have applied for a report, you will have a corresponding iron plate made. You can go to the Maritime Administration to get it and nail it on. It is valid only until November or December this year. You have to return the fish after you catch them. If you fail to return it within the deadline, we will come to your door to enforce it."

"And then the recycled iron plates will be kept and distributed for use next year?"

"Almost. After the flood season, it is useless to keep the fish in the hands of fishermen. They will use it to fish in troubled waters and save this year's fish for next year. It is definitely difficult to see clearly from a distance above."

"Okay, thank you. I'll pick it up later."

"Wait, there is one more thing. The jellyfish association you suggested last time has been passed at the meeting, and there are also some simple personnel frameworks. Our city is not small. If we want to set up a jellyfish association, we need people from many fields to take up positions in order to make it successful and perfect. And it not only targets fishing, but also the production chain, product chain and sales channels of jellyfish."

Ye Yaodong listened and nodded, and casually said: "If we develop jellyfish farming in the future, the association will also be useful. It can regulate and manage farmers, help recruit talents, and provide technical assistance."

"Farming?"

"Yes, it seems that now all places have carried out corresponding breeding, and breeding is encouraged. After all, the value can be seen, breeding can generate income, increase the number, and let the people earn more."

Zeng Weimin began to ponder. If vigorously developing breeding can generate income, promote economic development, and solve the basic problem of food and clothing for the people, it will also be a great achievement.

"I'll ask about it later. If we can develop it vigorously and increase revenue generation, that would be good."

"Well, our village is starting to develop kelp farming."

"Oh? Can you tell me about it?"

Ye Yaodong thought about it and organized his words to put an end to the smuggling issue. That is to say, he discovered kelp and encouraged the villagers to cultivate it.

He also shared what stage he had reached and how he made a fortune by harvesting wild kelp last year.

"So breeding is feasible. As long as it can bring benefits to the people and is reasonable, it is worth doing."

"That makes sense. We can bring it up to other organizations later and let them think about it. We haven't finished talking about this association yet. We will appoint a chairman, who must be well-known locally. We will also appoint three vice-chairmen, who must be fishermen from surrounding towns and have some reputation, preferably someone who has served as a village cadre."

"Your case is also quite special. You are from other provinces and there are quite a lot of you. It seems that you almost make up half of the team, so I asked for a vice chairman position for you."

"It's enough to just put your name on the list. You don't need to do anything. There will naturally be people who can do the work. You just need to show up at meetings and know the existing rules, policies and directions. However, you can only take action when the flood season is approaching. The subsequent buying and selling and promotion of jellyfish products have nothing to do with you."

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but let's just leave it like this for now."

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth in surprise, "Me? Vice Chairman?"

"Well, you have more people on your side, and this incident was mainly caused by you. There are half locals and half outsiders. After you join the association, you will know about anything in the future one step earlier, and you will be able to better arrange the people you brought over."

"And we can better integrate and communicate with local fishing boats. The more we communicate, the fewer conflicts there will be. So we must reserve a spot for you. I think you are very suitable. You are already playing a leading role."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I may only stay here for a few months during the flood season. The rest of the time I have to be at home. After all, there are my wife, children, and other businesses there."

"Do you have other businesses?"

"Yes, I have been selling some local specialties in the past two years to make some money to support myself."

"It seems to be doing pretty well. Last year it was a small boat, but this year it's a big boat."

"Haha, it all depends on luck and policy."

“That’s a good vision.”

"Then I will take over the position of vice president? I won't do anything. At most, I will come here early during the flood season to learn about the policies or hold a meeting."

"Well, you are not required to do anything. It's just that if you take up the position, communication will be better and the fishermen from the two provinces will be better integrated, so they won't fight at every turn. There is no deep hatred, it's just a conflict during fishing. In the end, it's because of an outsider, so you need to take up the position, just as a middleman."

Ye Yaodong happily agreed, "That's fine, I don't need to work anyway, and there's nothing to lose, I'll just put my name on it."

"Yes, that's right. Although there is no salary, you are not required to work. As for whether there will be any changes to the rules, policies and regulations in the future, we will talk about it later."

"Okay, thank you. I didn't expect to have such a reward. I guess when I go back and tell my dad, he will feel honored and will burn incense to tell his ancestors immediately. I can actually become the vice president. It sounds very impressive."

"Haha, then make your father happy."

"I'll call my wife and the old lady at home later. They probably think I've become an official. I'm really going to bring honor to the family."

Zeng made the people smile.

"So after taking this position, where should I report to, or what should I do now?"

"You don't need anything now. I've already registered for you. When the time comes, we'll set aside a piece of land and build an office. We'll put up a plaque specifically for the Shanghai Jellyfish Association, and then we'll officially establish it. It's just in the planning stages now."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much. If you need anything, you must tell me. If you have money, you can give money. If you don't have money, you can give labor. I will also help in any way that others can help. I won't make things difficult for you."

"Ah."

"Then I'll leave first if I have nothing else to do. I won't disturb you while you're working."

"Okay, I'm also in the office when I tell you these things."

"Haha, I'm leaving now. Thank you. I'll go home and see if there's anything wrong."

"it is good."
