Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 849 The Fight Started

The sky was gloomy, and he didn't know when it would rain again. Ye Yaodong took a small road and planned to go back early.

It didn't matter if the road was bad. He was wearing rain boots anyway, and the dirt on his heels was almost on his butt. He always had to change his pants when he went back.

However, on the way, he suddenly remembered Ye Xiaoxi asking him to buy sugar, so he turned onto the main road again.

After eating at noon, she sat on a small bench, twitching her buttocks and playing with the stool in a playful manner. As a result, she accidentally knocked over the stool and fell to the ground, biting her lips to pieces.

The crying was so loud that it almost took off the roof. I was crying so hard that I felt as pitiable as I wanted, and my tears fell down.

He quickly took sugar and applied it on the wound on her lip to stop the bleeding.

Unexpectedly, the bleeding did not stop, but the crying did.

She licked her little tongue, rolled the sugar into her mouth and ate it. Tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, and her mouth was squeaking with gusto. After eating, she opened her mouth and said "ah".

It’s sweet, and every child doesn’t like it.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to pinch a small amount and put it on her lips, and told her not to lick it.

But, before the words could even be finished, she licked them away again.

There wasn't much sugar in total. She licked it back and forth, and it was gone after two and a half licks. It wasn't enough, and she kept crying for sugar with tears in her eyes.

He could only coax and say that he would come out and buy it for her when the rain stopped.

When he remembered that when he came out just now, she followed him step by step and sat on the threshold waiting for him, he couldn't help but smile on his face and walked briskly to the store.

You can buy some rock candy later and give it to her to eat for a long time.

Just as I walked into the store, I heard everyone's discussion about whether his family was richer or Aguang's family was richer, directly turned into news about a fight between Mouse's mother-in-law and Mouse's mother-in-law.

This shocked him!

When I first came out, nothing happened, but after a while, there was actually a fight.

"Hey, aunt, how did the fight start? When did the fight start?"

"Just now, there was a fight just after the rain stopped. Oh, it was scary. Two old ladies were fighting, pulling their hair and clothes, and they rolled around on the ground and turned into two clay figures."

Ye Yaodong's heart was filled with a raging fire of gossip, "Why did we start a fight? Whose house did it take place in? What happened next?"

"I heard that the wife of Mr. Wang's family went to Mouse's house to ask for medical expenses. She said that eight or nine men in her family were beaten to death and were lying in bed unable to get out of bed. It was all because of them..."

The speaker paused for a moment, then remembered that it was Ye Yaodong who asked this question, and then hesitated before speaking.

"They said it was all because they supported Mo Zi and came to your house to cause trouble, so you took revenge and got someone to beat him. Now that your family doesn't admit it and they have no evidence, they can only ask Mo Zi's family for medical expenses."

"Then, no matter how much Mouzi's family can afford, how can they recognize it? His mother even said angrily that all the money he earned was subsidized by his wife's family. As a result, the people her family had offended were blamed on them. They compensated and called them shameless.”

"He also called his wife a prodigal and a troublemaker, and the wives of the two families started to point their noses at each other and start scolding..."

"Yes, yes, that's it. When the fight started, I happened to pass by their house. I heard it from beginning to end. The two of them were fighting so badly that they couldn't even be dragged away. The person who helped to break up the fight was also covered in wounds. of mud.”

"Later, women from both families came over, and it turned into a group fight..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... After the men are beaten, and the women are beaten, there will probably be more commotion next."

There was indeed some commotion and some nonsense, and now the villagers had something new to talk about after dinner.

"Then we are separated now that the fight is over?"

"After the fight, the village committee and the Women's Federation came to start a fight. It took a long time to pull the person away. Oh, your mother was also there. I also saw your mother accidentally pulling the person into the ditch..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"I just sent them back now. I guess you can still hear cursing at their doorstep."

"It would be nice if it rained for a while, otherwise the area around Lao Wang's house would have been filled with stench yesterday. There was also a stinky ditch that was scolded by a bunch of people for being immoral. No one dared to walk past his door and would rather take a detour."

"I heard that I washed from morning to night yesterday..."

"Don't you wash it from morning to night? You have to clean it inside and out, otherwise how can you live in it?"

"Yesterday, all the dirty water flowed into the stinking ditch, and the stench was everywhere in the village. His mother-in-law fell into it today. It's really karma."

"Don't mention it, it's disgusting enough. I hope it rains for two more days to wash it away, otherwise it will smell everywhere."

"Originally, our village was supposed to smell like fish and seafood, but yesterday it smelled like shit. When people from the neighboring villages heard about it, they all came over to take a look..."

Ye Yaodong took advantage of the break to buy sugar and stood there listening for a while. Everyone was talking with great interest.

When he arrived home with the glass jar filled with sugar, he didn't see his mother, so she probably hadn't come back yet.

Lin Xiuqing asked curiously: "A Dong, I heard that the old lady and the mother-in-law were fighting. Is it true? Did you see it when you just went out?"

"I didn't see it. I went to A Guang's house and sat there for a long time. I just heard about it when I went to the store to buy sugar. I've already finished it and sent it home."

He wanted to explain the reason for their fight, which made Ah Qing sigh.

"The idea is that the beating won't be in vain. If you can't get anything out of blackmail from us, then you can get some compensation from your son-in-law's family. In the first place, you suffered because you stood up for them."

"Well, a dog bites a dog and bites the bullet."

"Now the two families are having a bit of a quarrel. I didn't expect that they just injured their feet and it could develop into this. If the quarrel continues, the two families will probably never have contact with each other."

"This is a good thing. We won't have any contact with each other until we die, so we don't have to subsidize our parents' family. The mouse gets a blessing in disguise."

Thinking about it this way, he did a good deed.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily, "How can you say that your biological daughter will not interact with you if you don't want to interact with her? Others can not interact with her, but his wife can't."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, "Then just keep making trouble. It's none of our business anyway."

"It's all careless."

"At least, all the men in the Wang family can only stay in bed. Otherwise, if they knock on the door, it will be enough for the rats to drink a pot. Now it's just the women fighting and scolding, which is fine."

"Don't worry about them, just let them make trouble. Just don't come to us anyway. You go to A Guang's house to talk about the big ship. Have you agreed?"

"We have agreed that as soon as the boat comes back in the early morning of the summer solstice on the 21st, we will go out and try it out for a few days."

His boat is not much different from A Guang's boat, except for the length difference of two meters. The important configurations are all of the same grade. The unimportant ones have been omitted and shrunk a little, so the fuel consumption should be smaller.

It's just a good time to get familiar with it in advance. If it is delivered at the end of the year, it will be easier to get started.

"Then you can explain it to dad then."

"Well, where is my daughter?"

"Waiting for you, Bai Tang, to fall asleep."

"Oh, she'll probably forget it when she wakes up."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, seeing that nothing happened, he walked to the door again.

The old lady was sitting at the door, listening to a play with a radio next to her. There was a round bamboo flat on her knees with dried and crushed shrimps inside.

The big boat tested the water two days ago, and his father brought back two barrels of worthless shrimps. He boiled them and left them in the sun for two days, and they were completely dry. He happened to bring them in last night, and it won't rain a little today. Doesn't matter.

The dried shrimps in the bamboo dumplings had also been rolled over with a rolling pin, and there were broken shells everywhere, but you still had to pick them and break off the uncleaned shells before you could pick out the meat.

The soup pot on the side is already filled with a lot.

"Are all the dried shrimps here?"

"No, there is still a basket in the house that has not been crushed. After crushing it, you can peel it. You can go about your business or go to bed. I have nothing to do, so just peel it for me."

Ye Yaodong went into the house again and asked Ah Qing. Ah Qing took down the basket hanging on the wall and gave it to him, "There are only two baskets after drying in two large buckets. I crushed one basket in the morning."

"Then peel off the rest, then put it in a nylon bag and tie it up so it doesn't just sit there and get wet."

"Then you peel it, I'll mend the fishing net, and the rolling pin is on the stove."

He glanced at the thin rolling pin. This was used to roll out dough and make dumplings. How could it be used?

After scanning the room, he saw the mallet in the bottom basin on the washstand.

Use a mallet to crack the shells faster.

He walked to the door, took a fishing net, poured half of the dried shrimp into it, wrapped it in the fishing net, then put it on a stool and beat it.

"Hey, it looks like it can be crushed faster with a mallet than a rolling pin."

The old lady smiled and said, "Next time, don't throw away the unfinished shrimps. It's a pity to take out big pots of them every day."

"If you can't finish eating, take it out and dry it in the sun for two days. You can also knock it with a mallet to remove the shell. The dried shrimp meat can also be used to stir-fry or make noodles. It also saves the children from having to eat it and peel it for a long time."

Lin Xiuqing agreed, "Next time, let's dry the little ones that no one wants, and don't feed them to the dogs. Anyway, you are just sitting at the door all day long, doing nothing."

"Okay, okay, then peel them all for me, otherwise I'll have nothing to do at the door all day."

Ever since the old lady saw gold buried in the vegetable field, she spent more time sitting at the door from morning to night, and even the TV could no longer attract her...

Occasionally, the sister-in-law next door would come over to pick a few peppers or a few tomatoes, and the old lady would stare at them as if they were in danger.

He also told them that it would be okay and that he would plant some when he had free time.

On the contrary, the two sisters-in-law were offended, saying that the old lady was more partial and stingy, and felt bad that they had taken advantage of them even when picking a few vegetables.

Ye Yaodong knew the old lady's little thoughts, and couldn't help but whisper: "You don't have to sit at the door and stare, and there are no outsiders coming, so you can do whatever you want..."

"It's hard to say. I look at everyone like a thief now. Anyway, I usually sit at the door to keep an eye on you."

He shook his head, helpless.

The old lady took the fishing net in his hand, poured all the shrimps into the bamboo flats on her knees, and stopped him from picking them.

"You have tender hands. The shrimp shells are very pricked after they are dried in the sun. Just let me pick them out."

Ye Yaodong looked at the thin calluses that had just grown on his palms in the past two years, and then looked at the old lady's rough bark-like hands. In comparison, they were really tender, just a little tanned.

Compared with Aqing's hands, they may be a little more tender. After all, he has only worked for two years, which is not as long as their long-term work.

I'm really ashamed.

He had no choice but to continue crushing the remaining half of the dried shrimps and pick them out later.

Just when they were performing their respective duties and busy at work, Mother Ye came over.

And as soon as he entered the courtyard, he said: "Now the two families are fighting. There is a good show. Let them fight dog."

"Mom just went to start a fight?"

"I just pretended, but I didn't expect that I actually fell into the ditch. But luckily, she didn't know who did it. She got up and cursed wildly. When we left Lao Wang's house, everyone was still there. I heard cursing behind me.”

"Don't worry about them, just watch the fun."

Ye Mu also moved a stool and came out to pick the shrimps together.

"Do you want to sell these?"

"Keep it for yourself, it's a bit small, and the scrambled eggs are just right for the little ones to bite."

"Seeing that your elder sister-in-law has a bad face these days, and your second sister-in-law is acting like someone owes her, do you want to give them a share of your new ship..."

"don't want."

Ye Yaodong refused.

Are you kidding me? It's not like he owes her anything?

Damn it's a bit funny.

"What are you thinking about, mother? I made this decision a long time ago. I have borne the risks. Why should I give it away? It's clear that it's free. How can it be such a good thing?"

"This is not because you two brothers have more or less. Aguang's boat has a share, but your eldest brother has nothing..."

"The eldest brother owns a shop, dad's boat, and a boat that I shared in a partnership. Although it is divided between three people, it is not nothing. Do you think you are robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ye Mu also felt that she was asking for trouble and shouldn't ask this question.

"If brother has an idea, you can also book a boat. Anyway, you only need to put down a deposit in the early stage and find a few more people to join forces. In this way, one person will not pay much, and there will be time to buffer."

"Then it's suitable, it's easy to do, so why would they be willing to do it? It's so expensive, and it's not enough to spend money on it. It would be nice if they could take a share."

"late."

"Then forget it, ignore them, and let yourself suffer. I'm just a rat. I haven't seen anything, but I'm very willing to do it. If I say I'm going to pay for it, I'll pay for it. I'm not willing to buy a boat and participate in the stock market."

Ye Yaodong didn't answer either. His mother was also used to dealing with things later.

"Why don't you go inside and watch TV?"

"I won't turn on the TV during the day these two days. Several children will have their final exams on Monday, so I won't let them watch it."

"I didn't let them watch TV, and I didn't see them reading at home. They disappeared as soon as the rain stopped."

"There's no signal either. It's raining and the signal is not good. I can't receive it."

Mother Ye had nothing to say now. There was no way to watch if there was no signal.
