Chapter 1084 Meeting

What they just talked about didn't seem to have anything to do with the old lady, so why was she so angry?

Ye Yaodong was also very puzzled, and he also felt that his father was quite innocent.

But after being interrupted, he was no longer depressed...

"Just tell me, besides coming here early for dinner, what else can you do? Something happened at home, did you help to share the burden? You don't know anything, just keep your mouth open all day long waiting for food."

Father Ye stared at her angrily, "Psycho! I work all day long, why do I keep my mouth open waiting for food? Did I eat your food? Or did I spend your money? It's inexplicable, what happened at home? Besides Huimei giving birth to twins, what else happened? For no reason, it's true, the older you get, the worse your temper becomes..."

"Dongzi is about to suffer a loss from the boss, and you still don't know anything. What's your use? Apart from showing off at home and taking my crutches..."

"Stop it, what loss did he suffer? How can he suffer? His brain has more twists and turns than other people's mazes, how can he suffer?"

Although he said so, Father Ye still turned his head and looked at Ye Yaodong in confusion.

"What did you suffer? You suffered, but she scolded me. What's the logic? She's really crazy and confused. Who made you suffer? You should scold who, why scold me? People can't eat too much. You just want to make trouble all day long."

Father Ye was scolded and beaten by his 80-year-old mother for no reason. He was angry and spoke in a very aggressive tone.

Ye Yaodong felt that his father was scolded probably because the old lady was angry. After hearing what he said before, the old lady must be worried and unhappy, but she couldn't vent it on her grandson. The nagging couldn't calm her down.

It happened that his father came to eat at this time and ran into the muzzle of the gun. Of course, he had to relieve the depression in his chest to feel relieved.

People in a bad mood will be unhappy to see anyone leisurely, not to mention that the one who came was his own.

He rarely had a good temper. He didn't reply to his father with louder words. Instead, he calmly told his father what he had just encountered on the road.

Father Ye also frowned instantly, "I didn't hear about it two days ago, but it showed up today? No one came to me?"

"You are so good, why do people come to you?"

The old lady said something in a sarcastic tone, and also stepped forward to grab the crutches in his hand, pretended to gesture at him, and then turned around and cursed softly.

Father Ye glared at the unreasonable old lady, and didn't bother with him. It was more important to discuss with Dongzi.

"What about the 10 boats you ordered? Sell them directly?"

"You are crazy. I finally ordered 10 boats and they were delivered immediately. I resold them as soon as I got them. Why did I order them? Others followed the trend, so I sold them in order to prevent them from following the trend? What a weird logic?"

Father Ye's mind was stuck instantly. He felt that he was right. He had been thinking about stopping the loss in time just now.

"You're wrong. Old fools can be contagious. Then you'll still use your Dongsheng to carry ten boats directly over there?"

"Of course, why should I punish myself for giving up halfway just because others follow suit? I must do it as usual. Of course I have to earn back the money I spent. If they want to learn from me, they have to see how many boats can carry it?"

"That fishing boat can't tow a few small wooden boats. There aren't many big boats in the surrounding villages. There are only two or three villages around us with docks. The other villages are a little further away."

Ye Yaodong had already thought of a plan while sitting at the door. As long as it didn't spread too far and didn't spread to the town, it would be fine. Information flow is not that fast now. It should be fine in a short time, but if it takes a little longer, it's hard to say.

"That's true. There are only a few boats in the village that can carry people. It's impossible to take all the boats in the village with us. There's still some money to be made..." The old lady was still angry and said, "That's not much. It was Dongzi who took the risk to make it, and now he takes it for granted." "What's your business? Why are you interrupting? I'm old, and you don't need to worry about it." Ye's father had just finished his argument and was about to speak to Dongzi when the old lady hit him with her cane again. "You don't let me speak? I haven't even stood in your house, and you don't let me speak. If I eat your rice, what will happen?" "Nonsense..." "You unfilial son, I'm not deaf, I'm not old and blurry, and you don't let me speak. What's the point of giving birth to you? I raised you with my own hands..." The old lady scolded more and more vigorously, and the cane made a bang. The house was crowded and narrow, so Ye's father had to retreat step by step until he retreated out of the gate and stood in the middle of the yard and breathed a sigh of relief. "Dongzi, come out, let's talk." Ye Yaodong shed a tear of sympathy for his father, and obediently walked out to talk to his father in the yard. "Someone stopped you from saying this when you came back before. I guess someone will come to your house again after dinner or tomorrow and ask you to take all their boats. It's definitely impossible to take our boats. You already have 10 small boats, and the Harvest Boat from your in-laws..." "After dinner, help me call over the people who went with us last year. I'll also call over all the cousins ​​who rented out boats from our family. I'll talk to them and give them a warning. That 20% is not easy to earn, and there are so many boats this year, and the 20% of small wooden boats is not much, it's not worth it."

"Well, we have to warn them, otherwise they will automatically imagine that they received 20% of the goods they received last year, thinking that they can share 2,000 yuan, and they will agree to anything in a fit of excitement."

"Well, after that, if they are still planning to pull the boat over, then we will not care about them, whether they are halfway or at the destination, and we will not care about anything, and let them solve the problem of renting a house by themselves."

Even his own brothers, Ye Yaodong did not intend to intervene, they had already discussed with several other cousins, so they were tied together, there were about 10 people in total, and they could solve any problems by themselves.

He added: "We already have enough people in our team. We hired 20 people. It's troublesome to arrange these people, and we don't have enough energy to take care of others. We asked them to follow last year out of friendship in the same village, and we didn't take any benefits from them at all."

"Well, if there is anything external, we can stick together. If they have something internal, it's none of our business."

"Yeah."

"Your eldest and second brothers are really good. We should learn from you. If we didn't find the brothers of your second uncle's family, it wouldn't be spread all over the village."

The palm of the hand is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh. Ye's father couldn't go and say anything to his eldest and second sons. He could only call everyone together like Dongzi did and talk to them to make them sober up and not be confused by petty gains.

"It's all said, there's nothing to say, let them see for themselves."

"Your second uncle's brothers are brothers too, they've discussed it themselves, there's nothing to say. As for the rest, the news has just spread in the village, I'll tell everyone in the evening, just don't bring anyone with me."

Ye Yaodong responded casually and didn't say anything, walked to the door and continued to sit, lit a cigarette, continued to think, and waited for dinner.

Although he said so, it's actually unavoidable, all the relatives are relatives, one can't save face, the other can't save face.

Luckily, A Guang took the initiative to talk to him about the share two days ago. There are also other subsidies. The more fishing boats go, the more they will sell, and the more share they can get. If you think optimistically, it can be regarded as a two-pronged approach.

Today's dinner was half an hour earlier than usual, because Lin Xiuqing thought they would have something to do later, so she started eating early.

It's summer vacation, and the children are running away. She stood at the door and shouted for a while, but no one came back, so she ignored them.

When they came back, the adults had finished their meal. They were so nervous that they were afraid that they would be beaten if they came back late and missed the meal. But no one cared about them at home.

Lin Xiuqing took advantage of the fact that Ye Yaodong and his father went to call people separately and there was nothing to see for a while, so she went to the workshop to look at the dried fish and checked the dryness and flipping.

Until the door of their house, more and more people came one after another, and the sky gradually darkened.

Ye Yaodong and his father waited at the door for a long time. Some people came early, and some people came late because they had just returned from the sea. Those who came early were the first to discuss there.

Some people also asked Ye's father that the village was talking about taking a boat. Ye's father just said that he would talk about it all at once when everyone was there, otherwise he would have to talk about it many times.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were both a little embarrassed, thinking that it was all caused by them.

Moreover, they have thought about it recently and feel that it is not worthwhile. It is their responsibility to bring it. However, they are all cousins ​​and have discussed it. It is not easy to regret it. They have been a little irritable recently.

Ye Yaodong brought stools for everyone. If there are not enough, he will go to his eldest brother and second brother's house next door to move. The whole yard is full of people sitting there, and everyone is whispering there.

Even the neighbors around are curious about their house, which is as lively as a meeting. They look at the gate of the yard.

When most people have arrived, he will talk about what he encountered in the afternoon, and also talk about his views, and by the way, give a shot in advance.

"We are definitely not as lucky as last year. You should all know that we can earn so much this year. Not only our group of people, but also the group in the town, will bring more people than us this year, not less."

"After all, they earn agency fees, while we earn hard work fees. Of course, they hope to bring as many people as possible, and we must be thinking of fewer people. After all, with more people, we can earn less. No one is a fool."

"So this year is definitely difficult, and it will definitely not be as smooth as last year. Everyone should be mentally prepared. To be honest, it would be a blessing to earn half of last year's this year. If there are no accidents, we may have to go home early. Who knows."

" After all, one more day outside means one more day of expenses, and the labor costs are not small. That trench can't withstand so many fishing boats. There are too many people and too little fish. Everyone should know how many fish there were last year. "

"After the big fishing is almost done, at most a few days, everyone will probably have to row their boats on the sea to slowly search, just like the local fishermen. But after all, it's the flood season, and a busy day should be better than casting nets, but it's definitely not as good as a trench. "

"The most important point is that there is another very likely situation to be mentioned. Last year, we also encountered suspicion from local fishermen, and they also inquired. This year, the team is twice as large, and we will definitely not be so lucky. It is likely that the trench will be exposed..."

Ye Yaodong paused for a moment and looked at everyone's unhappy faces.

It's easy to imagine that everyone is only concerned about enjoying the good harvest, not thinking about these various accidents, only thinking about the good, not the bad.

When everyone heard this, the discussion became more intense. At the beginning, no one really thought about it. Last year, they just followed and made money. They didn't need to think about anything, just like picking up money.

Hearing what he said now, many ignored things were mentioned in this way, and everyone felt that it would really happen. It's really not so easy to make money this year.

"I know that everyone must not think about it. After all, everything went smoothly last year, and everyone made a lot of money. But what I said is also true. At that time, the best thing is to coexist peacefully and fish together. If they fight for it, there will probably be..."

"If this fight breaks out, guns and sticks have no eyes, and they are all on the sea. At that time, there will be a melee of dozens or hundreds of people. Think about it, it is probably possible that some people will not come back..."

When this was said, everyone's face changed drastically.

"No... it's really like that..."

"Adong... are you exaggerating..."

"Yes, it's hard to make money with so many people. It's impossible to make as much as last year. This sounds possible, but not coming back alive... this is too serious..."

"Yes... it's possible that you won't come back alive..."

Ye Yaodong said loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense, I just told you in advance so that you can have an idea. During our squid season, we fight to the death every year to grab an island. There are large quantities of goods visible to the naked eye. It would be strange if we don't go crazy."

"If you go to someone else's territory to make money, it would be fine if you join the locals and salvage honestly without conflict. But if such a trench is discovered by the locals, how can they not fight for it? If they fight for it, won't they fight?"

"On the sea, it's a group fight in a pile of jellyfish. It's normal to have casualties. For example, guns and sticks have no eyes, and jellyfish are poisonous. It's also a dangerous place like the sea."

"That's why I called everyone over at night Hold a meeting so that everyone has an idea in mind. Don't hold the same mentality as last year and think it's just picking up money again. "

"We have to spend money in life, so we have to think clearly. If someone backs out temporarily, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we all made a million yuan last year. It's okay to trawle at home peacefully. At least there won't be such a big danger."

"There is another thing. I said at the beginning that someone may come to your house in the next two days and ask you to take their boats to fish together. I won't stop this. You can discuss it and think about it yourself. I have no right to interfere."

"Just think about whether it's worth it, right? You take the 20% share and take the person away, so you have the responsibility to bring the person back safely. If there is any damage and the family members come to your door, you have to think about whether you can settle it. After all, you did take the money."

After saying this, some people who had already agreed changed their faces, and even Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked wrong.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to compete with the locals. Last year, everyone experienced that the locals wanted to follow their fishing boats, and they took out guns to scare them. This year, there are more people and horses, and there is a high probability that they will be exposed. How can there be so much luck?

If you bring people with you, you will be responsible for helping to settle them. It is easy to help with some chores, after all, you bring them with you, but you have to take responsibility, so you really have to think about it.

If it is really like what Ye Yaodong said, who dares? I went there to take a gamble.

"And..."

When they heard that there was more, everyone's scalp tingled, fearing that there would be more serious situations that they had not imagined.

Ye Yaodong paused, looked at the faces of everyone who were not calm at this time, and said again.

"I brought my own boat, because I didn't think about what might happen at the beginning. Since it was already decided and the people were already invited, I went ahead with it, but I will definitely be responsible for the people I invited."

"So, my energy is limited. I was able to bring everyone in and out last year and earn so much, which was quite a responsibility. This year everyone knows how to go and how to arrange it."

"When I leave, of course I will tell everyone, if you want to follow, follow, if you don't plan to follow, then trawling at home is also more comfortable."

"When you get to the place, everyone will make their own arrangements, how to fish you You can do whatever you want. A Guang will receive the goods at the dock as usual. "

"After all, my Dongsheng is too big. It is impossible to stay there all the time. It consumes fuel and manpower. After the trench is emptied, I will definitely go out to trawle the net as usual. The small boat will stay there to continue salvaging. So my energy is really limited. I have a lot of boats. I hope everyone can understand. "

"So the general meaning is that everyone can make their own arrangements when they arrive at the place. You can go out together and come back together, or you can go out on your own and come back according to the situation. Anyway, it depends on you. "

This is what he wanted to say when he was sitting there in a daze.

It's better to say it in advance, so that he won't complain if he doesn't make much money, or there are accidental casualties, or other unexpected things happen. Everyone has to talk to him, and he will be finished, right?

Although he was the one who led them out last year, he did not get any benefit from them. Instead, he hurt his own interests and earned less.

This year, he made it clear that you can follow him, but he doesn't care about anything. He only cares about his own boat and his own people. He has enough people and boats.

The powerful relationship has been made clear, so it depends on them. If they bring a bunch of small boats as a burden, they must be mentally prepared.

"Adong, is this trip really that dangerous?" Pei's father couldn't help but speak.

"Uncle Pei is not without experience. Do you think what I just said is true or nonsense?"

"Well, what you said makes sense. It's really not that easy to make money this year. This is all in front of us. If you think about it casually, you can predict it."

Father Ye also said: "Yes, Dongzi thought of this, so he told everyone in advance to prevent everyone from being too optimistic and then bringing a bunch of small boats over. At that time, it's really not making big money, but bringing a burden."

"If we can make a lot of money safely, then we have to bring all the villagers with us. We are all from the same village. If there is money, the villagers will definitely make it first. How How can we let outsiders get away with it?"

"Now that I think there is a real danger, I have to remind everyone that everyone must be mentally prepared. Think about it and make a rule first."

Ye Yaodong also added, "I just sat there and pondered for a long time, imagining what I will encounter. But it doesn't mean it will definitely happen. The uncles and brothers present are not stupid, and they can all imagine it. After all, most of them have been there last year, and they understand the situation and have the ability to judge."

The old and young all frowned, without the relaxed feeling when they just came to chat. They thought that Adong called them over to talk about when to set off.

The yard instantly exploded like a vegetable market, and everyone was discussing there.

The neighbors standing at the gate of the yard and the women and family members of the village also came to listen to the excitement for a long time. From beginning to end, they were also discussing there.

Some simply said not to go. Anyway, they made a lot of money last year. If they died this year, they would have no place to cry. There is money to make but no life to spend.

Some people slapped their thighs and regretted, saying that they had already made an agreement with someone in the afternoon and would cancel the boat when they returned. For a little bit of money, they had to be responsible for someone's life, which was not worth it.

Some people were optimistic and just thought about the worst now. They were just talking. Who could say what would happen? Maybe they could make a lot of money like last year.

They said all kinds of things...

The men in the yard were the same, but most of them had their own judgment and thought that what Ye Yaodong said was very likely to happen.

In their own local squid season, people would fight to the death for fighting over territory, not to mention the entire trench, which earned everyone a million yuan last year.

In the face of interests, if there is no proper discussion, they will definitely fight to the death. What's more, they are also foreign invaders. If they were not so numerous and powerful, and the fishermen in the town did not react in time last year, it would probably not be so smooth.

Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao had already come to his side first. The three of them gathered together and whispered, so that the two brothers also sat over and could only listen to them.

"Dongzi, what do you think is the probability of what you said happening this year?"

"Eighty percent!"

"Then... can we keep fishing in that trench for a few days before we have to withdraw?"

"If we are extremely lucky, we can fish for half a month and get everything; if we are lucky enough, we will probably have to share with the locals in a week at most; if we are not lucky, we will be discovered in three days at most, and then we will share or fight until we are bloody before sharing, or we may fight until we are bloody every day. It's hard to say, it depends on the situation. Without experience, it's just speculation."

"Alas, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat."

"Really?" Ye Yaodong turned his head and asked back.

Ah Zheng shook his head, "Isn't it true? It's too hard to make money."

"I know it's hard to make money, but I don't know shit is bad to eat, I only know it stinks."

"Damn it... let's talk business."

"Haven't we finished talking about business?"

He had said everything he should say, and the rest was up to them to decide. He didn't care about anything anyway, and then he would say hello to everyone when he set off, and it didn't matter whether they followed him or not.

"What you just said made me want to back off. Anyway, I made a lot of money last year, so it doesn't matter if I make money this year or not. It's enough for me to live on until I'm old."

"Think about it carefully. Your father only has you as his son, so it doesn't matter if you make less."

Ye Yaodong was speaking from the heart. This year's situation was indeed difficult to grasp, and they made a lot of money last year anyway.

At first, I didn't think that deeply. I was just sitting there thinking about it alone, and I really felt that the situation this year was not very good. I couldn't blindly follow this year just because I made a lot of money last year.

He is not a saint. He can think of everything in detail and he may miss something.

Ah Zheng crossed his legs and was serious. "Hey, it doesn't matter if I don't make money, but when I see you making money, how uncomfortable would it be for me? Or you should stop making money?"

Xiao Xiao also nodded in agreement. "Indeed, you have so much money, so you should stop making money. I feel uncomfortable when I see you making so much money and I don't get to drink soup with you."

Ye Yaodong also sighed, "I have prepared everything, and most people are still waiting. How can I suddenly say I can't go? Anyway, I have a lot of guns on my boat, just in case. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks." "We will also get a few more guns when the time comes." "My sister came to my house in the afternoon and asked me to take her boat. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed directly. I will go to her house and tell her when I go back in the evening. Anyway, my father is here and he has heard everything you said. Let my father go when the time comes." "It's too dangerous. It's better not to take those small boats in the village. They are not you, so only you can afford to make trouble. "

"Last year, I made too much money, and too many people were jealous. They all thought that this year they would also go to make money. As soon as they heard the news, they all tried to find connections and wanted to go with them."

"Yeah... This sounded a wake-up call for everyone tonight."

"Fortunately, you reminded everyone tonight, otherwise, I don't know what would happen at that time."

"I am also having a headache, and I just thought of it..."

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was not a bad thing for those people to pull him to talk about this in the afternoon, at least it reminded everyone in advance.
