Chapter 1245 After the Storm
Everyone was chatting in his yard all afternoon, and there were several gambling tables in the back.
Ye Yaodong was worried about such a large group of people coming in and out, and the shouting was so loud. He was afraid that people nearby would report them and put them all in jail.
After all, they were all called outsiders by their neighbors.
Yesterday, they had just come back from the sea and had something to talk about, so they were all gathered together to talk. The gambling tables were open until dinner time, and then they went back to eat.
Who would have thought that they didn't come last night until dark, and now he hasn't woken up yet, and there was a lot of noise in the yard again, and his head hurt.
He opened the door and shouted, "Catch the gambling!"
Everyone still had cards in their hands, and the tables were lifted to move into the yard to make more space for everyone to stand, but everyone was shocked.
"Adong..."
"Boss..."
"Do you think this is a casino or something? If you have nothing to do during a typhoon, you can go out for a walk. Are you here to gamble? How much money do you have to gamble?"
Ye Yaodong was furious. He turned his place into a gambling den?
You are bored and just want to play once, but you come here every day to gamble?
"Hehe... Isn't it a typhoon? There is no one on the road?"
"Then go back and lie down. If you want to be arrested, continue. Do you think your neighbors can listen to you shouting like this every day? Do you think this is your own village?"
"Ah, arrested?"
Everyone was a little at a loss.
"What else? Gathering to gamble, and there are hundreds of people gathering to gamble, one report will be confirmed, and we are from other places, who will give you face? If you go in like this, I won't care about you."
Everyone was a little embarrassed.
You look at me, I look at you, it seems that there are quite a lot of people.
"Hehe... we're just having fun, we're not going to play anymore."
"Don't say I didn't remind you, be careful when you go out. Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, eating and drinking are fine, as long as you have money, you can eat and drink whatever you want, but as for whoring, humph, you'll have to do whatever you want."
"No, no, it's just that we can't work on a typhoon day..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Go back to your own homes, go back to where you came from, go shopping, go to the pier, or do whatever you want, don't gamble here."
"It's okay, don't come here in a big group, I have enough people here, so many people coming in and out, the neighbors are scared to death."
If he hadn't delivered some fish to the neighbors every few days during this period, and maintained a good relationship, he would have come to scold them yesterday.
But you can't challenge people's bottom line again and again.
If there are new neighbors near his house, hundreds of people will come in and out all day, making a lot of noise, affecting people's lives, and even gambling. Who cares if you are neighbors or not? Even if they have a good relationship, they will still scold you.
A group of people were also a little embarrassed, and they left after saying a few words.
The yard became quiet all of a sudden.
"If you have nothing to do, go and help the old lady cross the road, and help the old lady nearby fetch water and chop firewood!"
"Huh?"
"What? Go fetch water and chop firewood. There is a typhoon. It may rain heavily and the power will be cut off at any time. If you can't go out for ten days or half a month, there will be no firewood to burn, and you will all be hungry."
"Okay, we will go and chop more firewood and fetch more water."
Assign them all tasks. When they have something to do, they will not be bored when they gather together.
Ye Yaodong ate breakfast, left someone to look after the house, and went out for a walk.
It was a typhoon day, but it looked sunny and windy. The wind was not as hot as before, but quite cool, and the wind was strong, stronger than yesterday.
When he strolled to the dock, it was bustling.
When he got closer, he found out that someone saw them catch several boats of jellyfish yesterday and was very excited.
I thought they were catching them in the trench, thinking that the typhoon had not arrived yet and the surrounding coasts were not affected much.
If they can catch them, there is no reason why others can't.
It happened that the typhoon was coming and no fishing boats dared to go out to sea. The trench over there was empty and there would be no competitors. It was a great opportunity, so someone took advantage of it yesterday and caught so many fish.
So early this morning, a fishing boat took the risk and sailed out two or three times, and just returned with a full load.

After selling the goods, another wave of fishermen were tempted, and now several more boats followed them out.
It is true that wealth and honor are sought in danger...
He looked at the sky. In addition to the whistling wind, there were also waves hitting the shore from time to time, which really gave people the illusion that the typhoon was just passing by.
They probably thought that the weather was good and the impact was not big. If others could make money and return safely, then they could do the same.
He did not stay at the dock for long. He listened to the news, looked at the waves and went back.
Then when he went to see if the waves were big the next day, more than half of the fishing boats on the dock were gone.
Everyone who went there yesterday returned with a full load, so more people were jealous today and followed them irrationally...
After all, if they were scattered on the sea surface in the past, no one would take the risk to search everywhere on the sea if they knew that a typhoon was coming. Now it is the trench, the gathering place of jellyfish, and it is inevitable to be tempted.
The main thing is that someone has benefited and is safe, who can watch others make money?
Even these outsiders want to take the risk and go out to sea to salvage, and some of them are eager to gather together to discuss.
Ye's father and his two brothers also came over to ask him.
"The locals are all out on their boats today. Should we go out and have a look? I think the typhoon has little impact. It hasn't rained yet. It's just that the waves are a little bigger. Our boat is bigger..."
"Dad, don't follow the crowd. If no one goes out to sea, will you go?"
"I see that they are all fine. They still salvage a lot every day, and the quantity is large, not less than during the peak season..."
"It's only been two days. The typhoon won't pass so quickly. Let's wait."
"I'm thinking that you have so many people to support, and the salary is so high, but everyone is still idle at home..."
"Safety first, you know I brought so many people out, I have to be responsible, let's wait."
He had earned enough some time ago, so there was no need to go with him.
But he didn't expect that his family was stable, but some people on the other side couldn't hold back. That afternoon, their fishing boats went out to sea.
And the weather changed that afternoon. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it rained heavily.
The weather is changeable on typhoon days. It may be sunny and windy one second, and rain will blow in sheets the next second.
Moreover, the sea is more terrible than the land. The storm comes at any time.
It was sunny in the morning, but it was cloudy at noon, and there were strong winds.
Ye Yaodong and his people were at home. They were strolling outside during the cool typhoon days, but they all ran back when they saw the rain. He counted the number of people and didn't worry.
Ye's father was also glad that his two sons almost followed the trend in the afternoon. He was also hesitant because of his two sons' questions, so he went to ask Dongzi.
Then he went to talk to people who were closer to him and persuaded them not to follow the trend.
Who knew that at dinner time in the evening, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they let the person in, they found that someone had also gone out to sea in the afternoon.
Fortunately, they went late, and they felt that the wind and waves were too strong when they were halfway, so they hurried back in panic, but there were no casualties.
But he was also scared to death. He said that his legs were shaking after landing, and he sat on the ground, and he was very scared.
When he landed, the wind was already strong. It was only 3 o'clock, but the sky was as dark as before.
Ye Yaodong and his friends were lighting candles and listening to the strong wind outside. The rain was pouring into the main room, and they had to move to the room to eat.
The person who came to report the news was sent by A Guang, and after he finished speaking, he hurried back in the wind and rain.
Everyone was a little scared after hearing this.
"Fortunately we didn't go..."
"I don't know what happened to those locals. Those who reacted in time will probably be able to come back in time..."
"This typhoon has just started. It hasn't landed yet. The real strong wind will hit at night. I guess there will be no one on the road, let alone going to the dock."
"The trench is a little far from the city. It took us an hour to drive there by boat. Fortunately, they turned back halfway..."
Father Ye also said thankfully: "Fortunately, we stayed at home honestly. It should land at night. Let's go and see tomorrow..."
Ye Yaodong thought that the locals didn't know how much they had lost. Zeng Weimin's political achievements this year were probably bad again...
The typhoon raged at night, howling non-stop. When it was dawn, there was only a mess after the sweep.

The dock was also in an uproar, with a lot of crying. Even the police were dispatched and set up cordons. It was said that the law enforcement boats were also out.
But there was no news.
After the typhoon, the wind stopped, but the authorities did not allow fishing boats to go out to sea.
In fact, this was unnecessary, and no one dared to go out to sea at this time.
It was not until the evening that he heard Fang Jingfu say that five or six bodies had been salvaged, and the others were still being salvaged, and the missing people were being counted. Fang Jingfu didn't even know how many people were missing, and this must be kept secret.
And they heard from their neighbors that more than a dozen bodies had been salvaged, which was not true.
Now the local government should be in a mess again...
To make matters worse, the typhoon had just passed, and it was not clear on the second day. On the third day, it rained heavily again. It was said that the eye of the typhoon had formed again.
This time, the authorities learned a lesson. As soon as they received the news that another typhoon had formed, they immediately took a loudspeaker and went from street to street to announce it everywhere, asking everyone to stay indoors.
Everyone learned their lesson and stayed at home.
And this group of people only ran to Ye Yaodong every day to sigh, and now everyone believed in Ye Yaodong's words more.
Fortunately, most people listened to him.
The main thing is that if a typhoon affects one day, it means one day's loss. Otherwise, no one would think of taking risks.
It's really too much to lose.
It's hard enough for everyone to have not made any money after so many days, and now there are typhoons one after another.
Perhaps because of the typhoons, there was a large area of rainfall as soon as the second typhoon formed, and it rained for four or five days in a row, with wind and rain, before it began to land.
After landing, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up immediately.
Just because of the impact of two consecutive typhoons, even the law enforcement ships could not salvage. Now another week has passed, and the missing people can only be regarded as a crash.
As soon as the typhoon passed, they heard that many families had already started funerals, and some people held memorial services at the dock early in the morning.
Everyone sighed a little, and money is not easy to make.
Moreover, after the typhoon, the waves were surging, and the government has now stepped in to prohibit going out to sea. I don’t know when it will be relaxed.
"Adong...what should we do now..."
Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "You ask me, I have no idea, the government doesn't allow us to go out to sea, and the waves are so big outside, do you dare to go?"
"This is terrible, I've lost all my money."
"I don't know if there will be another typhoon later..."
"Fuck, you're such a bad mouth..."
"Then we can only sit here and watch?"
"We can only wait."
"Adong...don't you have time at the lighter factory? Can we do some odd jobs there?"
Everyone looked at him with fiery eyes again, at least they could make some money.
The captain's eyes were even hotter.
"I can't do it, the staff inside is already saturated, no more staff is needed."
Wouldn't it be a nuisance to send so many stragglers there?
And the production line is mature, if there are so many more people going in, what if something happens, how can he afford it?
It's not good for him to send people in, why bother?
"Well, then we can only wait?"
"We are really going to lose a lot this year..."
"It will probably be the end of the month after the storm passes, and a whole month has been spent..."
