Chapter 668 What Happened to Ye Yaosheng
It feels like he has one thought after another, and the things in his home are gradually more than those in other homes, which also shows that he is not messing around.
But you have to eat your food slowly, one bite at a time, and you won’t be able to become a big fat person in one sitting.
"Let's take it slow, right? They didn't say they were going to sell it. After all, it's their old house. As the village chief, I'm not short of money. Maybe I want to keep it as a souvenir. Ordinary people would consider selling it."
"That's what I said, so I just thought about it casually. I plan to leave it like this for now, rent it first, and talk about it later."
She nodded, feeling relieved.
"How many kilograms of fish did Zheng buy today?"
"It's 2,000 kilograms. He can show off three to four hundred kilograms. He paid for the travel expenses back. He should be able to earn more than 20 yuan."
"That's not bad. You can earn more than 20 yuan once you go there. If the weather is good in a month, you can go more often and earn a lot."
"It has to be that he hasn't gone to sea. Anyway, we don't have to worry about it. He will just wait for him to finish it and sell it to us. He was planning to go there at night, so I thought I wouldn't go with him. A cart full of dried fish would be enough. Just ask him to send it over."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "That's okay. Let's pay for his travel expenses, and we can share the expenses together. This saves us from having to pay for the round trip ourselves, and we can save a lot of money."
"Yes! It's good to have someone to share the car with. I pay when I go and he pays when I come back. Anyway, I want to deliver the goods and he wants to buy the goods. It's a win-win situation."
After the old lady brought the noodles she cooked for him to the table, she said with a smile: "Your friends are starting to look more and more decent. You can leave the work of delivering fish to them at night. You can do it at night." I can also sleep more, so I don’t have to work so hard.”
Just when Ye Yaodong was about to chime in, a dog barked and Ye Yaosheng's voice came from the door.
"Dongzi? Dongzi is at home!"
"Is Dongzi back?"
Ye Yaodong stood up and looked at the door, only to see that Ye Yaosheng was blocked by a group of his dogs standing at the door, unable to get in.
This wasn't the first time he'd come to the door. The dog recognized him and didn't bark, but it wasn't familiar enough with him to let him in directly.
Ye Yaodong walked towards the entrance of the courtyard and kicked a few dogs in front of him that were in the way. "Go aside, they are in the way."
Ye Yaosheng looked a little haggard and depressed, and the dark circles and bags under his eyes were particularly heavy. One look at him showed that he had not been doing well recently.
He thought of the gossip that his wife, his mother, and the neighbors had been chatting with in the past two days, and he probably guessed the purpose of his visit.
"Brother Asheng, what's the matter? Come in and sit down."
"Hey, okay." Ye Yaosheng had never felt so constrained before, and his whole body was filled with embarrassment from head to toe.
In order to relieve his embarrassment, he looked at the bowl of rice noodles on the table and asked, "How about some snacks?"
"I just came back from the city. I haven't had lunch and it's not dinner time yet, so I'm going to cook a snack to fill my stomach."
"It's quite hard for you. Nothing you do is easy."
"It's not bad. I'm better than many people. Just sit down."
He sat down, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he rubbed his hands back and forth.
Ye Yaodong didn't want to see his joke. Seeing that he was embarrassed and embarrassed to speak, he asked: "How was your discussion about that matter? Has it been resolved? What did the second uncle and second aunt say? I heard there was a commotion. How many days has it been?”
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "The whole village has been watching the excitement for several days."
Lin Xiuqing took the rag to the stove, wiped it here and wiped it there, turned around and said with a smile: "I don't talk much about you now. Today I'm talking about the thief in Haiqing Village, and they're talking about us. Home."
"Haha, the folks finally stopped talking about me when they were serving dinner today."
"How did you solve it? Have you reached an agreement?"
"That's why I came here. Alas, in the past two days, the village cadres and the Women's Federation have come to help mediate. They didn't come to your home in the morning because of the thief. They talked about it in the afternoon."
"Because I caused losses to the Wang family and Wang Lizhen by breaking off the engagement, now I have to compensate them 200 yuan for loss of reputation or something. Anyway, I have to give their family 200 yuan as compensation, and the matter is settled."
Although Ye Yaosheng looked haggard, there was a sense of relief in his tone when he came to the conclusion.
The old lady hurriedly said: "Okay, just break off the engagement. Forget it, your father is not decent, your mother is also out of tune, neither of them is reliable. The daughter-in-law in front of you is your mother who has been messing around all day long. I didn't even bother to praise her for this folk remedy or that one, but as a result, even good people were ruined and couldn't eat it anymore."
"It's better to break off the engagement now, so as not to be tied up and suck blood for a lifetime. It seems that the family is not a good one. Let your third aunt ask you about it later and come up with a good one...
"Your third aunt is also powerful now. She travels around several villages from time to time. She knows better than anyone what kind of women are in which village and which family. She is much more reliable than your mother. You can no longer listen to your mother."
After finishing speaking, she touched her pocket, turned around and prepared to go back to the house, but before taking two steps, she turned around again and did not move again.
She almost forgot that during the Chinese New Year, she wrapped all the money she had saved over the years in red paper to Dongzi. Now she wanted to use some money to subsidize Ah Sheng, but there was no other way.
Alas, I have become old and useless. I cannot save much money and cannot divide it among my children and grandchildren.
The old lady sighed inwardly.
No one present noticed the old lady's behavior.
Ye Yaodong said to Ye Yaosheng: "It doesn't matter if it's solved, do you want the 200 yuan to be given in one lump sum today? Are there any difficulties?"
Seeing that he came specially to talk about himself, Ye Yaodong was also prepared.
Ye Yaosheng smiled awkwardly and waited for two seconds before saying, "Yes, I don't have enough money on hand..."
"Second uncle and second aunt won't help you?" Lin Xiuqing said in surprise.
The old lady came to her senses instantly. She was too old to save much money, and all her money should have been given to Dongzi.
But what happened to the second couple?
After the couple tricked their biological son, they just let it go? This 200 yuan must be paid by the second brother and his wife. They can't let others wipe their butts for what they have worked hard for themselves.
Of course she, who is half-aged and about to die, has no money. The two old men must have some on hand. It is only natural that I spend money on my son.
"Where are your parents? Let them pay for it. They are unreliable and they have done all kinds of things. They have already hurt you. Now they are reluctant to give out the money. You still have to borrow money from everywhere? They are all old. What a waste. If you don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you, and you still search like this."
"no……"
"It's nothing. I'm old and don't think about it at all. All my brains are full of shit. I don't deserve to be scolded. No one scolds me from time to time. He doesn't even know who he is. Let me talk about him. …”
"When it's time to give out money, I can't bear to give it away. I hold it tightly. I don't care about my son. Who will provide for him in the future? It's not possible without scolding him. I will scold him. I can't bear to give him even 200 yuan..." The old lady said more and more. The angrier he gets, the more he uses a cane to walk out.
Ye Yaosheng quickly stopped her, "No, my mother also gave her fifty yuan..."
"Ah? Fifty yuan...why didn't she just give five yuan? This old fool, who doesn't distinguish between four and six, is so picky about his own son. It's obvious that they themselves messed up the mandarin duck formula, and the result was just Why don’t you give me 50 yuan? Why don’t you give me 50 yuan? What’s the use? You’re asking for the same things, but this couple is getting more and more out of tune..."
The old lady was even more angry when she heard the fifty yuan. Her own son was cheated, and she didn't even say she was responsible, so she only gave her fifty yuan.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also quickly stopped the old lady, "Don't join in the fun... If you want to curse, my father will call the second uncle over later. Don't run around with your crutch."
"I'm so old, where did all my food go? My son doesn't even help..."
Ye Yaosheng quickly explained, "Brothers, my father can't be partial to me, 200 yuan is a lot..."
"He already knows a lot, why did he still agree? He didn't say to give less. You haven't subsidized that woman less in the past year. Do you have to count this too? This is already a day lily. How dare you ask for it? So much money? How much does it cost to get a wife?"
"You don't have a wife, but you have to pay a sum of money to get a wife. Your mother is blind, and you still say that you are honest and want to find a powerful one. Okay, this is such a powerful method, it will be great for your family. , is this head full of straw, or is it shit?”
"Their family was crying and making noise..."
"There is no one in your family? Aren't your parents usually very noisy? Are they wilted all of a sudden, and can they be rounded and squashed by others? It is of no use at all... they will bully their own family..."
The old lady was angry and poked the ground with her cane several times, "Can you ask the village to adjust it and give you less?"
Ye Yaosheng lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Forget it? We have been mediating for several days. It is too much trouble. It is not an option to keep making trouble. No one can do anything."
"You just say you have no money and just delay..."
"If you delay and refuse to give, no one will be able to bear it if they come to your door every day..."
"Oh, your family is really pissing me off..." The old lady slapped him several times angrily, "It's a good thing I don't have to live with you in old age, otherwise I would have to live ten years short and ignore you. You and your family can do whatever you want. Yes, half of my feet are in the ground. Who knows how many days I can eat? If you don’t worry about it, I can live a few more days."
After saying that, he angrily went back to the house on crutches.
Ye Yaodong thought to himself, it's better to leave, so as not to make people angry here, and they will have to worry if someone comes running around later.
"Then Brother Asheng is now 150 short, right?"
Ye Yaosheng nodded with a dull expression, "I haven't saved any money this year, so I can only shamelessly come over and ask you. I will work for you to pay back."
