Chapter 170 There Is Strength in Numbers

After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, she stopped making nets and went directly to the house. Then she happily held a handful of money wrapped in a handkerchief and trotted there.

Ye Yaodong looked at her running back, withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Lin Xiuqing who was working hard. He felt that his wife did not need to be too smart or too shrewd, as long as she was not stupid or greedy at critical moments.

"Are you tired? Is your back sore after sitting for a long time? Do you want to stand up and walk?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a smile, "How long will it take? Why are you tired? There are still so many."

"With so many child workers helping, when you get tired, you just stand up, walk around and drink water."

"Um."

Sister-in-law Ye joked next to her, "A Dong is getting better and better at hurting people."

"Yes, my wife."

In fact, the most sophisticated one is his sister-in-law, who doesn't offend anyone, gets along well with everyone, can talk to everyone, doesn't let bad things happen to her, and good things never happen to her.

"Dongzi..."

Ye Yaodong turned around and said, "What's good? I'm so happy."

"Have you seen this?" Azheng said happily.

"A blind man can see it. What's a good thing? Are you here to make your brother rich?"

"Tch~ You can make me rich," Azheng rolled his eyes, squatted next to him, and said excitedly, "Didn't we dig out five pearls yesterday? I went to town with Xiaoxiao this morning. The jewelry store sold it, how much do you think we sold it for?”

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "One or two hundred? Two or three hundred?"

"Fuck, is your guess so accurate? It doesn't give me any sense of accomplishment."

"Seeing how happy you are, it must be more than just a few dozen yuan. You all sold it for one or two hundred yuan?"

"It's two to three hundred. I sold all five of them for 280. I sold three for 300."

Now everyone was surprised, what a high price!

Ye Yaodong was also interested. Originally, he just asked them to go and ask around, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable now?

Forgive him for his lack of knowledge.

"You have three and he has five. Is the difference so big?"

"This is what the store said, saying that the value of seawater pearls is determined by their size. Generally, the diameter is 3-5 mm, and the gloss is average. One pearl only costs a few cents. If the gloss and color are more attractive, then It’s worth dozens of dollars. If it’s bigger, it’s even more valuable.”

Ah Zheng continued to say happily: "The three ones I sold are all 8 mm in diameter, and the store charges 100 yuan each! The other two smaller ones are said to be worth more than 20 yuan. I thought about it. My wife seemed to like it very much, so she kept it first, but Xiaoxiao sold them all without leaving a single one."

His wife had just gotten married and she was still in his mind. It was very fresh and he must be thinking about her.

Sister-in-law Ye was dumbfounded when she heard this, "My dear, Qing, are you going to get rich? You have 13 of them. I think they are quite big. You guys can't sell them for thousands of dollars?"

She was almost speechless with envy. Why didn't their family have this kind of wealth?

Lin Xiuqing was also very surprised. Is it so valuable? Instantly her heart was very hot.

"Then the shop owner asked me if I had any? I heard that there are many rich people on Hong Kong Island. If you don't need money, you need good things. Why don't you sell those beads of yours?"

….

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Forget it..."

"What the hell?" Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "It's so valuable and you really kept it for me to wear? Where can I wear it? I hang around the stove all day long, and I wear it for the Kitchen God to see. ah?"

Ye Yaodong touched his nose, "It's not because we don't need money urgently. The price will definitely be higher in a few years, and every woman doesn't like jewelry..."

"Then just keep two worthless ones."

"Yes, Dongzi, haven't you always wanted to change to a bigger boat? It just happened to be sold. If you buy a new boat, you can sail farther and earn more money."

"If you think so, don't you have to do it step by step?" You can't spend all your family's money, you must keep some money in your hands. He doesn't know what will happen to the child in his wife's belly.

After selling the pearls, maybe all the property can be exchanged for a second-hand iron boat. If anything happens, I still have to ask others.

"You can take it to the store first and ask how much it's worth before deciding?" Sister-in-law Ye looked even more anxious than herself.

Lin Xiuqing nodded and said with bright eyes, "Shall we go to the town to ask tomorrow?"

"Are you sure you don't want to?"

She rolled her eyes at him angrily, "When you get rich, if I have a chance to become a rich wife, how many jewels can I buy? If I wear it now, it will only be for the Kitchen God and the Kitchen God to see, so don't be stupid."

"Okay, let's take it to the store tomorrow to see how much it's worth?"

Originally I wanted to keep it for her, but since she insisted, I had to let her go, to save her pain and scolding.

She nodded happily.

Ye Yaodong looked at Azheng again, "You hired people to make row hooks. How did they go? Did you make hundreds more? When do you plan to release them?"

"I'm going to make another 300. I'll save 500 and put them away. They should be ready tomorrow."

"I also asked someone to do it. I don't know if it can be done tomorrow."

Ah Zheng was surprised, "Isn't the ground cage going to be released?"

"Let's release it. Isn't this a waste of time? The ground cage cargo will be collected the next day, and the quantity I released is not large. Longline fishing can be arranged every day."

"Okay, then let's go together tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay, let's see how much is left when the time comes."

"Then I'm going back."

He stood up and wanted to walk out, but Ye Yaodong grabbed his pants and said, "Don't go, we're here, let's help."

"No, I don't even want to do the work at home. My parents and my wife are still doing it. You still want me to do it for you. That's a nice thought." He pulled on the waistband of his trousers and tried to pull the trousers back from his hands.

But Ye Yaodong held on tightly, "Let's finish before we leave."

"don't want."

"Then I'll pull down your pants?"

Ah Zheng grasped the waistband of his trousers in panic, "Can you try to save some face by riding on the horse?"

"Then why don't you do it?"

"Fuck, fuck, ****!"

Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand with satisfaction, "Would any of you make room? Let this uncle sit."

"Here, here", Ye Chenghai actively stood up and gave up his position, "Third uncle, I will keep an eye on Uncle Azheng for you and prevent him from running away. Can you reward me with a double reward?"

"Okay! Very clever!"

Ye Chengyang is very proud~

"Uncle Azheng, you don't want me to chase you home either, do you?"

….

Azheng looked at the uncle and nephew with black lines on his head, so he had no choice but to lift his pants and work resignedly.

Ye Yaodong glanced at Ye Chenghai with admiration, and Ye Chenghai was so happy that his tail was raised to the sky.

There are many people and strength, and there is maltose hanging in front. A group of children did not even move their buttocks. They worked seriously from start to finish. Five or six baskets of shelled food were picked out in just two hours.

Ye Yaodong went to his hometown and brought a few long bamboo flats, stood them diagonally at the door, and spread out all kinds of shell meat to dry. During this time, the weather was cool and the northwest wind blew easily.

His father can weave bamboo flats. There are plenty of such things at home, so there is no need to buy them. He can get them without any burden.

After he finished drying, Sister-in-law Ye came back Wanwan beaming with joy. She didn't know why it took so long to send money.

"Is it done?" Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but ask after seeing her come back.

Having just been stimulated by Ye Yaodong again, Sister-in-law Ye suddenly became a little eager to make money. She was originally worried that it would be unreliable, but now she became more interested.

Second Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "The first cousin said that my first cousin left early in the morning and wanted to buy a train ticket in advance. My second cousin would also meet him in the afternoon, so she asked me to give the money directly to my second cousin to take with him. At that time, the interest payment date will be calculated directly from today."

"That's good. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. I don't know when the next time my cousin will come back."

"Yeah, I was worried about not being able to catch up when I went there, but I didn't expect my second cousin to go with me. So I sat there for a while and chatted with them a little more."

…

He had said everything that needed to be said, but if he didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

After drying, cleaning, and sending the children out to play, the couple returned to the house.

Lin Xiuqing happily opened the drawer with the key and took out the pearls wrapped in handkerchiefs.

"Our dozen or so pearls seem to be quite big, but these two seem to be a little bit smaller."

"Hmm, the diameter should both be 8 millimeters. These two are probably around 6 millimeters. The colors are quite good. It feels like a pity to sell them."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "What a pity. The color is good, so that it can be sold at a high price."

As soon as she finished speaking, something moved in her mind, "Should we take that Melo pearl to a jewelry store for appraisal?"

Ye Yaodong glared, "No, you can't sell this, and you can't show your face! Even with the level of a small store in our town, it can't be authenticated. If you take it out, it will only make you look like an eye-catcher."

Although he doesn't know the current value of this bead, it is definitely not different, and it will be priced in tens of thousands of dollars in the future. This one in his hand is even more valuable. He is sure that as long as he enters the auction house, it will definitely be priced in hundreds of dollars. Units are US$10,000.

At this time, you have to cover it first no matter what.

This era is very chaotic, and there is no power or influence. If he shows up and is forced to buy or sell, he will not be able to deal with it.

If she really wanted to sell those pearls for money, she would just sell them. Melo Pearls would definitely not do that.

Lin Xiuqing saw that his attitude was so determined that he couldn't even take it out for identification, so she had to give up.

"Then let's keep it as a lucky bead. Maybe it will bring our family's good luck during this period."

"That's right."

People on the coast are very superstitious.

"Then have all the thirteen pearls been sold?"

Seeing her money-obsessed look, Ye Yaodong had no intention of staying at all, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Is it just wishful thinking on his part?

He picked out the largest one and the two smallest ones. "Don't you want to sell these three? In the future, use the largest one to set a necklace, and the two smaller ones to make earrings. You can sell the ten if you want." Sell ​​it!”

Seeing her frowning and unhappy look, he quickly added: "Keep it for now. I'm really short of money. It's not too late to sell it. Those ten can be sold for a lot of money."

She nodded reluctantly, "Okay then."

Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
