Chapter 1019: Filled with Indignation (7,000 Words)

Ye Chengjiang, the three brothers and sisters stood at the door around Ye Ersao, craning their necks in anger and glaring at their mother.

Next to them, the three brothers and sisters Ye Chenghai stood side by side, blocking the door with their hands spread out, preventing Sister Ye from entering, and they were also shouting there.

"You talk all day long but don't keep it. You agreed that we would share half of the wages. I am an old boy now, not a little one anymore, and yet you still lie to me every day."

"When you finished beating me the day before yesterday, you clearly promised well. You can't lie." Ye Chenghe was crying when he spoke.

Ye Jingjing also shouted into the room, "Dad, come out quickly..."

Ye Chenghe also shouted: "Dad, my mother defrauded us of our money again. Come on, everyone, my mother defrauded us of our money again, bullied us when we were young, and took away all our wages..."

Sister-in-law Ye was so angry that she raised her hand to hit the child, but Ye Chenghe dodged it and sat down on the ground, immediately turning on the cheating mode.

"My mother cheated me out of money and wanted to beat me again. She beats me every day. I must have picked it up..."

The two girls on the side of Ye Ersao's side were also shouting at the top of their lungs: father, third uncle and third aunt, Ye's father and Ye's mother. Ye Yaodong was speechless when he saw them.

Mother Ye was the first to go over and scolded her immediately, "What are you doing? You want to rebel? What else can you do without money? You can eat and drink from home, help the family and earn some wages, but you still want to put it in your own pocket?" Children, what money does every family get? Your mother keeps it for you, and naturally it is spent on you. Otherwise, what would you eat and wear?"

The old lady listened to the noise here and came over slowly with a cane. When she heard this, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Ye Chenghai also said loudly: "My mother made a good promise the day before yesterday. She gave us half of the wages we earned when we helped my third uncle work. Now she takes it all and doesn't give us a penny. She doesn't keep her word." ."

Ye Chengjiang also echoed the accusation, "What if she didn't give it? She said she wouldn't give it at the beginning, but then she coaxed us to work, and now she won't give us a penny."

Ye Xiuxiu was also angry, "We planned to help Third Uncle work from the beginning. We didn't expect to get any wages. It was Third Uncle who didn't want us to work in vain and said he would give us some wages and let us buy pens and paper and candies, but my mother didn't All taken down.”

"If mother didn't want to give it and said she wouldn't give it in the first place, nothing would happen to us. Those who should help will definitely help, but she is going to lie to us!" Ye Tingting said with a tearful voice and wiped her tears.

Ye Jingjing also cried aggrievedly, "Adults can't lie to others..."

Ye Chenghe was already rolling on the ground, "My mother is a liar, a liar, and I will never help you work again~"

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were so angry that it was too late to fight this or that. It was like a chicken and a dog jumping at the door.

The old lady stepped forward with a cane and spread her hands, and kept stopping her, "Don't hit me, don't hit me. We've agreed, so let's give it a little bit as a sweet treat. Seeing that they are all so well-behaved, they will start to fight as soon as they come back from school." Went to help with the work..."

"You're going to rebel. I can't do anything to you at such a young age. How can I do it again in the future? How old are you when your wings are stiff? How dare you threaten me?"

"What's wrong with helping the family with some work? What's wrong with making some money? Isn't this what you should do? We help you collect the money, and we will spend it on you in the future. Children, every family has so much. The money will be cheated another day.”

"Whose kid has so much money in his hands?"

"That's right, I'll save it for you first, but it's not like I won't return it to you..."

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye had their hands on their hips, pointing whips at a group of disobedient children, and took turns talking angrily.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were alarmed by them and ran out.

"What are you doing?"

Their daughter quickly ran over and pulled their sleeves, complaining aggrievedly about her mother's bad behavior.

The three boys continued to stare at my mother unconvinced.

"But it was clearly agreed that we would share half of it, and you deserved it after you were angry at the time. If you don't agree, don't lie to us!"

Ye Chenghai's tone was even more fierce than his mother's. He had been growing continuously in the past two years, and the 15-year-old was already taller than his mother.

Ye Chenghe also got up from the ground in a hurry, "I will never work for you again. I lie to people every day!"

"I'll beat you to death, you help me with some work, and I'll pay you back..."

Ye Chenghai frowned and said without fear of death: "Then don't talk about money, give the money back to the third uncle! Helping with some work should be done, we are all a family, what's wrong with helping with some work? You still want money!"

Sister-in-law Ye almost lost her temper.

"I've raised you in vain. If I raise you this big, I'll be angry. I won't beat you to death long ago..."

She was so angry that her head was smoking, her eyes were on fire, and she swung the whip in her hand, but Ye Chenghai grabbed her wrist and snatched it away, then threw it away.

Her eyes widened, and she realized that her son was taller than her, and his eyes were even wider than hers. She could no longer beat or scold him at will.

Ye Chenghe was also very excited, "Brother, you are so awesome!"

The old lady looked at the mother and son, and her eyes were about to burst into flames. She quickly called Father Ye, "Why don't you come over and help me? Are you dead?"

When Ye's father arrived, the old lady's crutch hit him on his calf, "I couldn't even help him for a long time. I saw how anxious these children were and how wronged they were to cry."

"Don't I want to hear what they are doing? Children can't have so much money in their hands, so what's the point of a beating? They are obsessed with money. If they dare to make such a fuss, shouldn't they be beaten?"

Ye Chenghai was extremely angry. "But we all agreed. I said I wouldn't give it at the beginning. But now I change my mind. I'm just deliberately deceiving people."

"That's right, what you say doesn't mean what you say."

The other children also spoke up, chirping and accusing each other.

Father Ye and Mother Ye don't think a child should have so much money in their hands. It's okay to give it back to their mother, as long as they dare to make a few noises.

Ye Yaodong watched with his hands in his pockets. Although he didn't agree with the way his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law went back on their word and bullied the children, he couldn't say anything. One or two yuan is indeed a lot. Whose child can have one or two cents in his hands? Buying snacks to eat is already very happy.

Except for the New Year's money, no child has any spare money, and the New Year's money is taken away quickly, leaving only a few cents at most.

Ye Chenghai was furious when he saw that their grandpa and grandma didn't speak for them. He turned to Ye Yaodong and said, "Uncle, we will help you work another day. You don't want to pay us any more. We are voluntary. You love us so much every day, it’s inappropriate for us to ask you for money.”

"Ahem~ You said it yourself, I'm not squeezing you and telling you to work."

Ye Chengjiang also echoed loudly, "We are the ones who take the initiative to help you with the work. You don't have to calculate wages for us in the future. We are a family. If you buy us delicious food every day, it is also right for us to help you with some work." of."

Ye Chenghe also nodded, "Third uncle, we will do it for you, not my parents."

Sister-in-law Ye couldn't hit her eldest son anymore, so she could only grab the younger son's ears, pull him back, and slap him hard.

Each elbow was turned outward, which almost made them angry to death.

Seeing all the children looking angry, Ye Yaohua couldn't help but said: "I agreed two days ago, so let's give them some pocket money and buy them something to eat. As soon as we get back from school It’s quite nice to help with the work.”

"Yes, yes, you can just give them a cent or two to buy something to eat and give them a sweet treat. Although they are all your own children, you can't deceive them into working. The children are old, how can you deceive them so casually? He’s not a child, so he can be coaxed and tricked as much as he wants.”

The old lady immediately agreed, and began to dig into her pocket. She took out a pile of coins and put them in the hand of the nearest Ye Chengjiang.

"Take it, take it, Madam has no money, that's all, you can use it to buy some sweets and share it."

Ye Chengjiang's aggrieved eyes turned red. He wiped his eyes secretly and stuffed the money back, "I don't want it. I don't care about it. If you don't give it, I won't give it."

After saying that, he went home angrily and went upstairs.

Ye Chenghe also broke away from his mother, humming lowly about the liar, and went home.

Ye Chenghai also ran out angrily.

The three girls saw their brothers leaving in despair, and the hope in their eyes dimmed. They also pouted, loosened their father's sleeves, and went back to the house.

A farce ended when the children's protest failed.

"Look at you, it's okay to just give them a little comfort. A few days ago, I coaxed them to work, but after they finished the work, they turned against each other..." Ye Yaohua looked at the child's loneliness as he went into the house with distress. Looking back, he couldn't help but point at Sister-in-law Ye.

"Why do they want to give a little bit casually? They want to share half of it, which is more than one yuan. For three children, that is more than three yuan. How can a child get such a lot of money?"

The old lady angrily poked the ground hard with her crutch, "Then if you are not happy, don't promise them at the beginning or promise less. Just now, you didn't even mention giving them some pocket money to appease them. Not even a penny." Come on, no wonder they’re angry.”

"Last year, too, I coaxed Ah Hai to go out to work for you. After being exposed to the sun for more than half a month, his skin peeled off, but he didn't give him a cent. Dongzi bought him a football to appease him. You still count on him every day. Let Dongzi subsidize it?"

"He's taller than you, how can he be coaxed like a child? In two years, everyone will be able to marry a wife, so what's the point of having some pocket money on hand?"

"You lie to them like this every day to see if they will help you with the work in a few days. Who will you expect to help you go out to sea to pick squid after a few months?"

"They dare? What's wrong with doing some work for the family? If you ask them to work, they have to work. Otherwise, they won't do it and the whole family will drink the northwest wind." Sister-in-law Ye retorted nonchalantly and went into the house.

Sister-in-law Ye also murmured forcefully, "If the wings are stiff, you can't control them. If the wings are stiff, they were born by me. But you haven't even married yet and you can't control them? If you dare to rebel, you'll be beaten to death."

"He's just spoiled. Whose kid has so much money in his hand?" Ye's mother glanced at Ye Yaodong when she said this.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm going back on my word, keeping my word, and am I still reasonable? If I hadn't given them expectations at the beginning, of course they wouldn't be so disappointed."

"Besides, when I calculate wages for them, I also want to give them pocket money openly, buy some food, drink, school supplies, etc. What's wrong? Shouldn't I?"

"They are not young anymore. They are already big children. What's the point of having a little pocket money in their hands to control themselves? Other people's children have never had so much money in their hands, so we want the same things as others? Then other people's families are poor, is it possible? Are we going to be poor too? There is nothing wrong with learning how to manage the money in hand in advance."

"Money is tight and the family is poor, so there is nothing you can do about it. The children have to help work to earn money to supplement the family income. That's right. If money is loose, the children have worked hard, so it's right to give them some sweet dates."

"I calculate wages for them, not to subsidize the eldest brother and the second brother's family, but to give them pocket money. The eldest brother and the second brother have also saved some money in the past two years, so how can I help them?"

Ye Yaodong originally didn't want to be verbose, and it wasn't his fault. How could he teach his elder brother and sister-in-law to do things? If their protest failed, then let's just say the protest failed. At most, they wouldn't be paid openly next time, but they would be paid secretly.

He had planned this at the beginning, but a few idiots were so happy that they shouted out.

But when his mother glanced over at him, didn't it mean that he had spoiled them and made those children learn to resist?

Then he had to say something.

It turned out that the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were too picky and had little money in their hands. How could a child not be greedy? Of course he had to give sweet dates.

What's more, he originally found a way to give them pocket money, which was regarded as a reward for helping them with work, so it would be inappropriate to collect them all.

The children's enthusiasm for work was dampened.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye had already entered the house. Although they heard what he said, they were too embarrassed to come out to refute the argument. After all, they were making money from him now.

Brother Ye, Brother Ye, felt a little embarrassed when he said that to him. He smiled and didn't know what to say. In fact, he thought what he said was quite reasonable. They shouldn't take what was given to the children.

But the daughter-in-law is quite reasonable, and a child shouldn’t have so much money in his hands.

Ye Mu was the same. She was blocked by his words and didn't know how to refute. She was at a loss for words.

After saying this, Ye Yaodong felt that it was boring, so he hugged Ye Xiaoxi, who had come with the old lady to watch the fun, and went home directly. Lin Xiuqing quickly followed behind.

The old lady also angrily hit Father Ye's leg again, "It's still Dongzi who knows what happened. You all treat your children as different adults."

"What does it have to do with me? Why are you hitting me?"

"You are my son. If I don't hit you, I will hit you. You are old and outmoded. I gave birth to you too."

"Nervous, I took the wrong medicine." Ye's father glared at the old lady and turned to go home.

Mother Ye pursed her lips and murmured, "Is it a big deal that a group of children are making trouble?"

Everyone dispersed instantly, those who went home went home, and the old lady slowly walked back to the next door on crutches.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang saw how stingy their eldest and second aunts were. Ye Chenghai and the others didn't get anything, so they were a little afraid to ask their mother for wages.

Lin Xiuqing had just agreed to give it to them when she went home, but now they were dejected. Their little eyes looked at their parents from time to time, but they didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would be beaten if they didn't get their wages.

It is really the uncle who owes money, and those who ask for money must be careful.

Children have no human rights.

Lin Xiuqing was not that fussy and watched as the two of them slowly moved to the TV, and then glanced at her from time to time, but did not speak.

Thinking about it with his buttocks, he knew that the two wanted to ask for money but didn't dare to ask for money. They were frightened by the fight that just happened next door.

She touched her pocket, took out two brand new one-dollar papers, and handed them to them. The two brothers' eyes were instantly brighter than the stars in the sky and hotter than the sun in the sky.

"One for each person, keep it for me and don't spend it. If I know that you have spent all the money, I will take off your pants and beat them into strips. I will beat you all out."

As if they had found a treasure, each of them took a piece, and then held it tightly in the palm of his hand. They were so happy that they nodded in response.

"Yeah, well, if we don't spend it, we will definitely save it."

"That's right, I'll keep it. Don't worry, Mom."

Ye Chengyang helped with the work at home all day long, but he didn't care if his mother gave him less. It was good if he could give him more. He grinned and was very happy.

"It's new! Brother, this is new money!"

"Well, it's so new~"

After Ye Chenghu responded happily, he immediately turned around and ran upstairs, preparing to hide the money, which he earned with his own hands.

Ye Yaodong's depressed expression also relaxed, and he smiled and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Next time you go to the market, buy a piggy bank for each of them to save money, so as not to hide it everywhere all day and not find it next time."

"How much can you save and return the piggy bank..."

"It's hard to say. There is a lot of work at home, and the children help, so just give them a little bit at a time, which will also increase their enthusiasm for work. Moreover, this is what they have earned through their own labor, and the meaning is different, so let them save it. And if you give them more new money in the future, they will definitely not be willing to spend it.”

Lin Xiuqing smiled. She thought so too. She would be reluctant to spend the new money.

She herself has an obsession with new money. As long as the money Ye Yaodong brings back is new, she will put it flat and neatly, reluctant to fold it and put it away separately.

During the Chinese New Year, she got a lot of new money he brought back.

"Well, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are really reluctant to give me a piece, so just give me a few cents. Next time, none of them will do it. Give me a piece. In fact, they won't spend it randomly. After all, It’s been 12 years, and they only have snacks that cost one or two cents a day at most. If you give a big one yuan, they probably won’t be able to take it out to get change, so they must have saved it.”

That's why she simply took a brand-new one-dollar note instead of giving change. If she was given change, she would probably spend it in two-cent pieces. If it was a whole one-dollar note, she would definitely not be willing to take it out to find change. .

What’s more, it’s brand new!

"Ignore them, the children will definitely not help with the work next time. If they do, your wages will be given directly to the children and put in their hands. As for the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, can they get it from them again? , then it depends on their abilities.”

"Okay, then do you want to go to sea at night?"

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy fog tomorrow, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's obviously foggy in the morning, and I don't know if it's because of the wind. I'll take a rest at night and take a look."

"Let me prepare your clothes first. They are all washed and dried anyway."

Ye Yaodong suddenly slapped his thigh, "The quilt hasn't been dried yet. My dad's pig brain told him to remember to take down the quilt from the boat and dry it. He doesn't know where to go."

"Didn't you forget it yourself? It's my fault too. I've been busy with the work in the workshop these days and forgot to remind you. I'll just cover it this time. Remember next time. It's been too long. When the time comes, It’s easy to get sick if it’s covered with moisture.”

"Forget it's dark now. I won't go to sea tomorrow. I'll go to the boat to get the quilt tomorrow morning. If there's sun, it's enough to dry it for half a day. If there's no sun, I'll take it out to dry to avoid the fishy smell. After I finished my work, I got into bed, and the bed was very fishy. All I dreamed about in the middle of the night was fish."

After Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang climbed upstairs, they couldn't bear to come down. Even Ye Xiaoxi sneaked up the stairs to play with them.

Even the sound of the TV turning on downstairs can't attract them. The charm of money is endless.

Lin Xiuqing also took out her account book and wrote down records there, pressing the calculator constantly.

Ye Yaodong never paid attention to the family's accounts. He sat watching TV with his hands busy.

The last batch of dried shrimps weighed several hundred kilograms. After drying and shelling, the goods came back again.

In the past few days, I have been busy killing fish and drying them. There are still some dried shrimps that have not been shelled yet.

He didn't know it at first, but in the afternoon Aqing saw him sitting there eating melon seeds and chewing sugar cane. The food was all over the floor. He was annoyed, so he brought a bag of shrimps back from the workshop and found something for him to do.

Lest he have nothing to do, find something for her to do.

He wrapped a pile of shrimps in a nylon bag, then crushed them several times with a beer bottle, then poured them into a round bamboo plate, and let the old lady pick and remove the shells.

While shelling, the old lady kept talking about what had just happened, feeling sorry for her great-grandson.

"I don't know if anyone will come to buy candy tomorrow. If so, I'll buy a few more pieces to sweeten their mouths... I didn't even get a bite..."

"Work for the landlord, and the landlord will share the grain..."

"The poor ones have no feet touching the ground and have been busy for several days..."

Ye Yaodong ignored her and just recited as she pleased. Elderly people love to recite. No matter whether they want to hear it or not, whether they like it or not, they just want to recite a few words.

He originally thought that a group of children had failed to please and would see them go to school dejectedly the next day.

Unexpectedly, when he got up early and stood at the door to stretch, he saw them laughing and chatting as happily as sparrows early in the morning.

"Hurry up, it's time to go to school~"

"Let's go~ hurry up~"

"I go to school and I'm not late every day~"

"No, no, that's not what you sang. I went to blow up the school. The teacher didn't know. As soon as I pulled the string, I ran away and the school disappeared~"

"Hahaha~ I want to tell the teacher~"

"You accuser!"

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the bird is saying, early, early, early, early, why are you carrying a bag of explosives~"

Everyone started laughing and singing at the door, which was a bit beyond his expectation. Shouldn't they have slumped shoulders, depressed faces, and yelled curses?

"What good thing is there to be so happy about, you guys? Did you pick up money in your dream last night?"

"Hey, Third Uncle~" Ye Chenghe ran excitedly and actively from the next door to him, and then whispered, "Third Uncle, let me tell you, yesterday my father secretly came to our room to give us money."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Is there such a good thing?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, you must not tell it. Don't let my mother know. My father asked us not to tell our mother. Otherwise, he will not give us money in the future, and the money will be stolen by my mother." take away."

"How much did you pay?"

"He gave us a dollar each!"

"So much? Then your father also hid a lot of private money, which is quite impressive, isn't it?"

"Yes, my father hid a lot of private money." Ye Chenghe suddenly realized in surprise.

"Do you want to share the spoils? I think what I said last night had an effect, so your father secretly went to your room to give you money last night."

He immediately turned around and glared, "That's no good, that's what I earned. I want to keep it and save more."

"Save a lot to get a wife, right? Save a lot to spend on your little girlfriend, right?"

"Talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense about Uncle San, that's my classmate."

"I understand, I understand, early love is not good, but you should pay more attention to other female classmates, buy more delicious food for them, make up for your own mistakes, and atone for the mistakes you have made."

Ye Chenghe nodded seriously, "Yes, that's what I think, but Third Uncle, she doesn't pay attention to me, what should I do?"

"What should I do? If someone bullies her, you stand up for her. Send her home every day. Talk to her more often when you have nothing to do. Be thick-skinned and come to her shamelessly. If she continues to ignore you, you will Apologize sincerely several times and say it was all your fault before, but now you know you were wrong."

He nodded.

"When you see beautiful flowers on the road, pick a few more and give them to her. Girls, young and old, like flowers. Also, clean yourself up a little bit, don't be slovenly, with snot hanging all day long and dirty bodies. Xixi."

He continued to nod.

"Also, your grades should be better. Girls like boys with good grades."

His shoulders instantly slumped.

"This won't work."

"Then you should say more nice things, be sweeter with your mouth, and praise people more. It doesn't matter if you are ugly, as long as you can talk, it will be fine. You can also send flowers, food, and toys by the way. Imagine being like your third uncle. It’s hard to be handsome, talkative and rich.”

Ye Yaodong never imagined that one day he would be able to teach his little nephew to chase his little girlfriend.

Ye Chenghe nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, third uncle is good at everything, but he is not my father."

"If I were your father, that would be a big problem! Your father secretly gave you money, did A Jiang and the others have it? Did your second uncle give it to them?"

"I don't know? Does the second uncle have any private money?"

"Are you going to ask?"

"Then I'll ask?"

Ye Chenghe immediately ran over and asked Ye Yaohua directly at the door.

"Second uncle, do you have any private money?"

Ye Yaodong almost choked when he took a puff of cigarette.

He asked him to ask Ye Chengjiang, but he didn't ask him to ask the person involved directly, this idiot.
