Chapter 1024: Filled with righteous indignation

Ye Chengjiang and his two sisters stood at the door surrounding Second sister-in-law, filled with righteous indignation, stiffening their necks and glaring angrily at their mother.

While the three siblings of Ye Chenghai on the side stood side by side, blocking the door with their hands spread out, not letting Eldest sister-in-law in, and also shouting there.

"You don't keep your word all day, said the wages should be divided in half, I'm a big child, not a small child, you still cheat me all day."

"You clearly agreed well the day before yesterday when you finished beating me, you can't cheat people." Ye Chenghe said with a crying voice.

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

Ye Chenghe also shouted: "Dad, my mother cheated our money again. Everyone come quickly, my mother cheated our money again, bullying us for being small, taking away all our wages..."

Eldest sister-in-law was ashamed and angry, raised her hand to beat the child, but was dodged by Ye Chenghe, and he even sat on the ground directly, opening the rogue mode directly.

"My mother cheated my money, and wants to beat me again, beating me every day, I must have been picked up..."

The two girls on Second sister-in-law's side were also shouting for Dad, shouting for Third Uncle and Third Aunt, shouting for Grandpa and Grandma, Ye Yaodong looked speechless.

Ye Mu went over first, scolding for the first time, "What are you doing? Want to rebel, what money money, eating at home, drinking at home, helping the family do some work and earned some wages, still want to put it in your own pocket? What money do children hold, your mother collects it for you, naturally it is spent on you, otherwise what do you eat, what do you wear?"

The old lady listened to the movement here, also slowly, leaning on a cane, came over, heard this, "What's this?"

Ye Chenghai also said loudly: "My mother clearly agreed well the day before yesterday, we helped Third Uncle work, earned wages, she divided us half, now she took it all, didn't give us a cent, didn't keep her word."

Ye Chengjiang also followed and complained, "Yes, if she didn't want to give it, she should have said not to give it at the beginning, but she coaxed us to work, now didn't give us a cent."

Ye Xiuxiu was also angry, "We didn't expect wages to help Third Uncle work at the beginning, Third Uncle didn't want us to work for nothing, said to calculate some wages for us, let us buy paper and pens and buy candy, but mother deducted it all."

"If mother didn't want to give it, she should have said not to give it at the beginning, we wouldn't have done anything, what should be helped would definitely be helped, but she had to cheat us!" Ye Tingting finished with a crying voice and wiped tears.

Ye Jingjing also cried aggrievedly, "Adults shouldn't lie either..."

Ye Chenghe was already rolling on the ground, "My mother is a liar, is a liar, won't help you work anymore~"

Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law were too late to beat this, too late to beat that, the door was like a chicken flying and a dog jumping.

The old lady leaned on her cane and stepped forward, spreading her hands, constantly blocking, "Don't beat, don't beat, it was all agreed, then give a little, give a sweet head, look at them all so obedient, come back from school and go to help work..."

"Want to rebel, so small and can't manage you, what about the future? Wings are hard at a few years old? Still dare to threaten?"

"Helping the family do some work, what's wrong? Earning some money, what's wrong? Isn't this what you should do? We help you collect the money, it will all be spent on you in the future. Children holding so much money in their hands, cheated by others one day."

"Whose family's children hold so much money?"

"Yes, I'll save it for you first, it's not that I won't return it to you..."

Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law akimbo, pointing at the group of disobedient children with whips, taking turns speaking angrily.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were also alarmed and ran out.

"What's this?"

Their daughter quickly ran over to tug at their sleeves, aggrievedly accusing her mother of bad behavior.

The 3 boys continued to glare at their mothers unconvinced.

"But clearly agreed to divide half, you were angry at that time, also agreed well, if you didn't agree, don't cheat us!"

Ye Chenghai's tone was fiercer than his mother's. The 15-year-old child who kept growing taller was already taller than his mother.

Ye Chenghe also climbed up nimbly, "I won't help you work anymore in the future, cheating people every day!"

"Beat you to death, you white-eyed wolf, helping do some work, still money money money..."

Ye Chenghai stiffened his neck and said fearlessly: "Then don't talk about money, return the money to Third Uncle! Helping do some work is what should be done, all own family, helping do some work, what's wrong? You still want money!"

Eldest sister-in-law almost died of anger.

"Raised you in vain, raised so big and only knows how to anger me, didn't beat you to death early..."

She was so angry that the top of her head was about to smoke, her eyes were spraying fire, the whip in her hand also swung over, but it was grabbed by Ye Chenghai by the wrist, and then thrown away directly.

Her eyes widened, only then did she discover that her son was taller than her, eyes wider than hers, and was no longer someone she could beat and scold at will.

Ye Chenghe was also extremely excited, "Big brother, you are so amazing!"

The old lady watched the mother and son's eyes about to spray fire, hurriedly called Ye Fu, "You don't know how to come over and help say something, are you dead?"

After Ye Fu arrived, the old lady's cane hit his lower leg, "Don't know how to help say two sentences after watching for a long time, look at how anxious these children are, all crying so aggrieved."

"Don't I want to hear what they're actually up to? Children shouldn't have that much money in their hands to begin with. What's wrong with a beating? They've become obsessed with money, daring to make such a scene—don't they deserve a beating?"

Ye Chenghai was extremely angry. "But it was all agreed, if you said not to give it at the beginning, then don't give it, agreed well and now changed, it's just cheating people."

"Yes, didn't keep word."

Other children also chimed in, chattering and complaining.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu also didn't feel children should hold so much money, it was no problem for their mothers to collect it back, dare to make a fuss, just beat them twice.

Ye Yaodong watched with hands in pockets. Although he didn't agree with Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law's behavior of not keeping their word and bullying children, he couldn't say anything. One or two yuan is indeed not small. Whose family's children can hold one or two cents to buy snacks, they are already very happy.

Except for lucky money, no family's children can have spare money. Lucky money is also collected quickly, at most leaving a few cents.

Ye Chenghai saw that his Grandpa and Grandma didn't help them speak, and was also angry to death, turned and said to Ye Yaodong: "Third Uncle, help you work another day, don't give us wages, we are voluntary, you are so loving to us every day, it's too inappropriate for us to ask you for wages."

"Cough cough~ you said it yourself, it's not that I exploited you, calling you to work."

Ye Chengjiang also shouted in agreement, "It's us who want to help Third Uncle work, don't calculate wages for us in the future, we are own family, you give us delicious food every three days, it's what should be done to help you do some work."

Ye Chenghe also nodded, "Third Uncle, we help you, don't help my father and mother."

Eldest sister-in-law couldn't beat the eldest son, could only grab the younger son's ear, pull him back, and beat him fiercely.

One by one, their elbows were all turning outward, almost making them angry to death.

Ye Yaohua watched the children all angry, couldn't help but open his mouth, "Agreed well two days ago, then give a little, give them some pocket money, let them buy things to eat, come back from school and help work is also quite obedient."

"Yes yes yes, just give one or two dimes to let them buy things to eat, give a sweet head, although they are own children, but can't cheat them to work. Children are all grown up, how can they be cheated like this, not small children, can be coaxed and cheated at will."

The old lady immediately agreed, and also started to dig into her own pocket, touched out a pile of coins and put them in Ye Chengjiang's hand.

"Take it take it, Grandma has no money, just this little, you take it to buy candy and divide it to eat."

Ye Chengjiang's eyes were red with grievance, secretly wiped a handful, and put the money back, "I don't want it, I don't care, if you don't give it, don't give it."

After saying that, she went upstairs in a huff.

Ye Chenghe also struggled out of his mother's hand, humming and muttering liar, and went home.

Ye Chenghai also ran out angrily.

Three little girls watched the brothers all go dejectedly, the light of hope in their eyes also dimmed, also pouted, loosened their father's sleeve, and went back to the room.

A farce ended in the children's protest failure.

"Look at you, just give a little to appease, it's also okay, coaxed them to work two days ago, and then turned around and didn't recognize people after finishing work..." Ye Yaohua looked at the lonely back of the children going to the room with heartache, couldn't help pointing at Second sister-in-law.

"Where do they want to give a little? They want to divide half, more than one yuan, three children, that's more than three yuan, so much money, where is it something children can hold in their hands."

The old lady angrily poked the ground with her cane, "Then you are not willing, don't agree to them at the beginning, or can agree to a little less, just now didn't say to take some money to give them pocket money to appease, didn't give a cent, no wonder they are angry."

"Last year too, coaxing Ah Hai to go out to sea to work for you, tanned for more than half a month, skin peeled off, also didn't give a cent, still had to be Dongzi buying him a football to appease, you still count on Dongzi to subsidize every day?"

"He is taller than you, how can he be coaxed like a child, in two years everyone can marry a wife, what's wrong with putting some pocket money in hand?"

"Cheating them every day, see if they will help you work in a few days, wait a few months, still count on who to help you pick up squid."

"They dare? Helping the family do some work, what's wrong, call them to work, they have to work, otherwise don't do it, the whole family drinks northwest wind." Second sister-in-law refuted indifferently, and also went into the room.

Eldest sister-in-law also muttered strongly, "Wings are hard and can't be managed, wings are hard, that's also what I gave birth to, haven't married a wife and can't be ordered? Dare to rebel, beat to death."

"Just spoiled, whose family's children hold so much money?" Ye Mu said this with her eyes aiming at Ye Yaodong.

"Look at me, what for? Going back on one's word, not keeping one's word, still have reason? If you didn't give them expectations at the beginning, they certainly wouldn't be so disappointed."

"Besides, I calculate wages for them, also want to give them pocket money openly, buy some food and drink, school supplies, what's wrong? Shouldn't it be?"

"Also not small, all big children, having some pocket money to control themselves, what's wrong? Other people's children haven't held so much money, we also have to be the same as others? That other people are poor, do we also have to be poor?"

"Tight hands, poor family, then no way, children have to help work to earn money to subsidize the family, that's what should be done. That loose hands, children work hard, give some sweet dates, that's also what should be done."

"I calculate wages for them, not to subsidize Eldest Brother and Ye Erge's family. Eldest Brother and Ye Erge have also saved some family foundation in these two years, where do they still need me to subsidize?"

Ye Yaodong originally didn't want to nag either, not what he gave birth to, how could he teach his eldest brother and sister-in-law to do things. They protested and failed, then failed. At most, don't calculate wages on the surface next time, give it secretly.

Originally he planned like this, who knows a few idiots were happy and shouted it out.

But the way his mother glanced over—wasn't that pointing out that he had spoiled them, which is why those children had learned to resist?

Then he had to say a few words.

Originally, Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law were too stingy, holding every cent in their hands. Children have no one who is not greedy, should give sweet dates, of course have to give.

Besides, he was originally looking for a name to give them pocket money, also considered rewarding them for helping work, this way all collected, it's too inappropriate.

The enthusiasm of children working was hit.

Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law had already entered the room. Although they heard what he said, they were too embarrassed to run out to refute and argue. After all, they were earning his money now.

Eldest Brother and Ye Erge were embarrassed after he said that, laughing awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Actually, they also felt what he said made a lot of sense, they shouldn't take what was given to the children.

But the daughter-in-law also made a lot of sense, children shouldn't hold so much money.

Ye Mu was also blocked by his words, didn't know how to refute, and was speechless for a while.

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he also felt it was boring. He held Ye Xiaoxi who came over with the old lady to watch the fun and went home directly. Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly followed behind.

The old lady also angrily hit Ye Fu's leg again, "Still Dongzi knows things, you all treat children as if they can't grow up."

"What does it have to do with me? Why hit me?"

"You are my son, if I don't hit you, who do I hit? You are old and toothless, that's also what I gave birth to."

"Nervous, ate the wrong medicine." Ye Fu glared at the old lady, and also turned to go home.

Ye Mu pursed her lips and muttered, following, "A group of children making a fuss, is it a thing?"

Everyone dispersed instantly, went home, the old lady also slowly leaned on her cane and returned to the next door.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang saw the stingy appearance of Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt, Ye Chenghai and the others didn't get anything, suddenly didn't dare to ask their mothers for wages.

Originally, what Lin Xiuqing agreed was to give it to them when they went home. Now they were also dejected, looking at their fathers and mothers from time to time, just didn't dare to open their mouths, afraid of not getting wages and still having to get a beating.

Really, the one who owes money is the grandfather, the one who asks for money has to be careful.

Children have even less human rights.

Lin Xiuqing was not that stingy. Watching the two move to the front of the TV, and aiming at her from time to time, just didn't speak.

Thinking with her butt, she knew they wanted to ask for money but didn't dare, scared by the scene of the next door making a fuss just now.

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

"One each, keep it well for me, not allowed to spend it. If I let you know you spent the money, I'll take off your pants and beat you, beat you into strips, beat the blood out."

The two were like treasures, one pulled one, then tightly pinched in their palms, happy to death, nodding like pounding garlic.

"Hmm hmm, we won't spend it, we will definitely save it."

"Yes yes, I'll save it, Mother don't worry."

Ye Chengyang worked at home all day, but he didn't care that his mother gave less. It was not bad to be able to give, he grinned, extremely happy.

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

"Hmm, so new~"

Ye Chenghu responded happily and immediately turned to run upstairs, preparing to hide the money. This was earned by his own hands.

Ye Yaodong's depressed expression also relaxed, smiled and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Next time you go to the market, buy them a piggy bank each to save money, saving them from hiding everywhere all day, next time they won't find it."

"How much money can be saved, piggy bank..."

"That's hard to say, there is a lot of work at home, children help work, just give a little to mean it, also increase their enthusiasm for work, and this is earned by their own labor, the meaning is also different, just let them save it, and give new money in the future, new money they definitely won't be willing to take out to spend."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, she also thought so, new money definitely won't be willing to take out to spend.

She herself had an obsession with new money. As long as the money Ye Yaodong brought back was new, she would put it flat, reluctant to have a little fold, and collect it separately.

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

"Hmm, Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law are really, not willing to give a yuan, give a few dimes it's also okay, next time everyone definitely won't help work. Give a big one-yuan note, actually they won't spend it randomly, it's already after New Year, at most eat a cent or two cents of snacks every day, give a big one-yuan note, they definitely won't be willing to take it out to find change, it must be saved."

So she simply took a brand-new one-yuan paper note, instead of giving small change. Giving small change is very likely to be spent for a cent or two cents. A whole one-yuan note, definitely won't be willing to take it out to find change.

Besides, it's brand new!

"Don't care about them, a few children definitely won't help work next time. If there is work to help, calculate wages directly to a few children, put it in their hands. As for whether Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law can ask for it back from their hands, that depends on their ability."

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

"Weather forecast says there will be heavy fog tomorrow, don't know if it's true or false, clearly there was fog in the morning, don't know if it's crazy and reported wrong, rest for another day at night and see."

"I'll prepare your clothes first, anyway, washed and dried."

Ye Yaodong suddenly slapped his thigh fiercely, "Quilt didn't dry again, my father's pig brain, let him remember to take the quilt on the boat down to dry, don't know where he remembered it."

"Didn't you also forget? Also blame me, busy with the work in the workshop these few days, also forgot to remind you. Just cover it for this trip, remember next time, put it for too long, it's easy to get sick if it's damp."

"It's dark now, forget it. No going out to sea tomorrow, I'll go to the boat to take the quilt tomorrow morning. If there is sun, drying for half a day is enough. If there is no sun, take it out to air, saving it from being all fishy, everyone drills into the quilt after finishing work, the quilt is all fishy, dreaming of fish in the middle of the night."

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang climbed upstairs and were reluctant to come down, even Ye Xiaoxi secretly climbed upstairs to play with them.

Even the sound of the TV downstairs couldn't attract them, the charm of money is infinite.

Lin Xiuqing also took out the account book and wrote and recorded there, the calculator kept pressing.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about the family's accounts, sat on the side watching TV, his hands were not idle either.

The batch of dried shrimp dried out also had several hundred jin, dried and shelled, not finished yet, and the goods came back again.

These few days, they were all busy killing fish and drying fish goods there, and some dried shrimp hadn't finished shelling.

He originally didn't know, Ah Qing saw him sitting there eating melon seeds and gnawing sugarcane in the afternoon, eating all over the floor, angry, and carried a bag of shrimp from the workshop to find him something to do.

Saving him from having nothing to do and finding things for her to do.

He took a nylon bag to wrap a pile of shrimp, then took a beer bottle to roll back and forth several times, and then poured it into a round bamboo plate, letting the old lady pick it clean of shells.

The old lady also nagged about what just happened while picking shells, heartache for the great-grandson.

"Don't know if there will be anyone selling candy tomorrow, if there is, I'll buy a few more pieces, give them sweet mouths... didn't get a bite of food..."

"Working for the landlord, the landlord also divides grain..."

"Poor one by one, feet not touching the ground, busy for several days..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about her, let her nag, people of old age love to nag, no matter if people want to listen or not, like to listen or not, just want to nag a few sentences.

He originally thought that a group of children didn't get any good, and would see them dejected to go to school the next day.

Unexpectedly, when he stood at the door stretching in the early morning, he watched them laughing and happy like sparrows early in the morning, chattering and calling friends.

"Hurry up, time for school~"

"Go~ hurry up~"

"I go to school, never late~"

"Wrong wrong, not like this. I go to bomb the school, teacher doesn't know, pull the line, I run, school disappears~"

"Hahaha~ I want to tell the teacher~"

"You little snitch!"

"The sun is shining, flowers are smiling at me, the little bird says, early early early, why are you carrying a dynamite pack~"

One by one, they laughed and sang at the door. This was a bit out of his expectation. Shouldn't they be drooping their shoulders, dejected, scolding and calling people?

"What good thing is so worth being happy about? Did you dream of picking up money last night?"

"Hehe, Third Uncle~" Ye Chenghe excitedly, actively ran from next door to him, and then whispered, "Third Uncle, let me tell you, Dad secretly came to our room to give us money last night."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Still have this good thing?"

He nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, you must not say it out, don't let my mother know, otherwise, he won't give us money in the future, and the money will be collected by mother."

"How much money did he give?"

"He gave us one yuan each!"

"So much? Then your father still hides quite a lot of private money, quite amazing?"

"Oh right, my father hides a lot of private money." Ye Chenghe realized suddenly in surprise.

"Then is it to divide the loot? I think it was what I said last night that had an effect, so your father secretly went to your room to give you money last night."

He immediately twisted his body, widened his eyes, "That won't work, that's what I earned, I want to save it to save a lot."

"Saving a lot to marry a wife, right? Saving a lot to buy things for your little girlfriend, right?"

"Nonsense! Don't talk nonsense Third Uncle, that's my classmate."

"Understand, I understand, puppy love is not good, but you have to care more about the female classmate, buy more delicious food for her, make up for your mistakes, and atone for the mistakes you made before."

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

"Don't do anything, someone bullies her, you stand up for her, send her home every day, talk to her more when there is nothing to do, be thicker-skinned, and lean towards her side dead-skinned, if she still doesn't pay attention to you, you sincerely apologize several times, say it was all your fault before, now you know you were wrong."

He continued to nod.

"Also, see beautiful flowers on the road, pick a few more and send them to her, girls, regardless of old or young, all like flowers. Also, clean yourself up, don't be sloppy, snot hanging all day, body dirty."

He continued to nod.

"Also, grades should be better, girls all like boys with good grades."

His shoulders slumped instantly.

"This won't work."

"Then you talk more sweet words, be sweeter in mouth, praise people more. Ugly doesn't matter, just be able to talk. By the way, send flowers, send food, send toys, also okay. Like your Third Uncle, handsome, good at talking, and rich, it's hard."

Ye Yaodong also

Ye Chenghe nodded as if it were a serious matter, "Yeah, Third Uncle is great in every way, except he's not my dad."

"If I were your dad, that would be a big problem! Your dad secretly gives you money—do Ajiang and the others have any? Did your Second Uncle give them any?"

"I don't know? Does Second Uncle have secret savings?"

"Why don't you go ask?"

"Then I'll go ask?"

Ye Chenghe immediately took off running and asked Ye Yaohua directly at the door.

"Second Uncle, do you have secret savings?"

Ye Yaodong nearly choked on a puff of smoke.

He had told him to go ask Ye Chengjiang, not to ask the person involved directly—this blockhead.
