Chapter 109
Now everyone was full of expectation, and several pairs of eyes were burning as they watched the Helmet Conch in her hand.
When she was holding the chopstick and preparing to insert it, Ye Yaohua suddenly grabbed her hand. "How about you let me do this one?"
"Don't get in the way!" Ye Ersao crossly nudged him with her elbow, then proceeded to insert it and pick out the conch meat herself.
This time, Ye Ersao was full of hope, but after carefully picking through the entire conch meat, there was nothing.
"I told you to let me do it..."
"If I let you do it, you would have been able to pick it out? If you can't pick it out, are you going to conjure one up for me?"
"You, it's your own fault, and you're blaming others..."
Ye Mu felt a headache hearing this; a perfectly good matter could also turn into an argument. "Alright, alright, since there isn't one, you should go do what you need to do. I'm going to cook."
Only then did everyone disperse and return to their own rooms. They hadn't put away the money from selling the goods yet, as they had been watching the conch digging in the main room, and the value of the conch pearl they dug out also needed to be discussed properly.
Ye Yaodong and his wife were also talking about this matter when they returned to their room.
"Second Sister-in-law is too lucky, but it's a pity."
"Hers is also very average; keeping it as a souvenir is quite good, or taking it to be set in a ring wouldn't be bad either."
"If only we had dug it out!"
Ye Yaodong amusedly rubbed her short hair. "Then in the future, don't sell any conchs you find; I'll open them all for conch pearls for you."
"That won't work either; the probability is too low, and it feels like such a waste. Today's three made my heart ache."
"You have to think, what if you open a top-tier one? You'd make a fortune. Think about your Melo pearl; it's enough to open conchs for a lifetime. Everything you open from now on is profit, and you can eat the conch meat yourself, so it's not a waste."
"That's true!"
Thinking of the Melo pearl, Lin Xiuqing felt very happy inside.
"Alright, I'm going to the house to help. It's been delayed all morning; let's get the tiles laid sooner to avoid being affected by the typhoon."
"You go do your work!"
As a result, not long after Ye Yaodong walked out of the house, he saw his younger sister happily holding a handful of osmanthus flowers, smelling them as she walked. At the corner, there was also a figure that dodged.
He looked suspiciously. "Where did the flowers come from? The whole family went to the beach all morning and didn't see you. Who did you go out with, playing around until almost lunchtime before you were willing to come back?"
"It's only ten o'clock, how is it lunchtime yet? Third Brother, you've been very controlling lately, eh?"
"Of course, I'm your brother. How can I watch you get deceived? That boy from Xishan Village you went on a blind date with two days ago, although he looks honest, you can't judge a person by their appearance. You have to keep your eyes open and don't just go out and play with people casually..."
"Oh my, it's not him. Didn't you all say he was fake-honest? Then forget it."
Hmm? Listening to this tone, there's someone else?
"It's not him, then who is it? That dog of a man at the corner just now? His clothes and build looked a bit familiar." He stretched his neck, but couldn't see anyone now.
"Aha?" Ye Huimei turned her body to look at the corner, but there was nothing, so she said with relief, "No one. I picked them at the entrance of the commune myself. I just happened to pass by and felt they smelled quite fragrant, so I broke off a few branches to take home and put in a vase."
"Then where did the hair accessory on your ponytail come from? I didn't see it yesterday!"
She widened her eyes, feeling a bit lacking in confidence, but still stubbornly shouted, "I asked someone to buy it for me this morning. Third Brother, why do you ask about everything? Shouldn't you care more about Third Sister-in-law? Why do you have to ask when I have an extra hair accessory?"

Ye Yaodong looked at her suspiciously and simply rushed directly to the corner, but didn't expect that not far away, someone suddenly started running with a guilty conscience.
He widened his eyes and chased after him. "Holy crap, so it was you, you dog of a Pei Guang, don't run..."
Only a fool wouldn't run!
A Guang didn't look back, acted as if he didn't hear, and ran directly onto the small path.
If he ran faster and didn't get caught, then it wouldn't be him!
!
Next time he's questioned, he can directly tell Dongzi that he recognized the wrong person!
!
Ye Yaodong ran through half the village, panting, but really didn't catch up. He lost him, and didn't know if he had hidden in someone's house!
Damn! That dog of a Pei Guang! No, Pei Shun!
!
He panted heavily, cursed in his heart, and could only let him go for now!
Looking at his location, it wasn't far from the new house, so he could only pant and slowly pace toward the new house. The person was lost, but there was still work to be done.
By the time he was busy until lunch, Ye Yaodong finally returned home.
After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table, his eyes staring straight at Ye Huimei opposite him.
Ye Huimei felt a bit guilty and kept her head down, picking up food, not daring to look at him.
Ye Mu noticed that the brother and sister were a bit off and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two? Did A-Mei do something wrong?"
"You ask her and see!"
Ye Huimei bit her chopsticks, looked at everyone at the table staring at her, and gave Ye Yaodong a resentful look. "What wrong thing did I do? Third Brother is really annoying!"
"Hmph hmph, eat!"
Ye Mu looked left and right, shook her head, and stopped caring about them.
After Ye Huimei shoveled the rice and vegetables in her bowl into her mouth, she hurriedly cleared the bowls and chopsticks and returned to her room.
Who knew, not long after, the room window was knocked on. She curiously opened the window to look, Third Brother?
She instantly pulled the window and was about to close it. Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped her. "What are you hiding for? You didn't think about hiding when you saw others, but you hide when you see me. I wanted to have a good talk with you."
"Talk about what?"
"Come out and talk. How can I talk through the window?"
"Talk right here!"
"Damn you, if someone else called you out, it would be good if you could say that!"
Ye Huimei stared at him gloomily. "Have you taken the wrong medicine lately? Why do you keep staring at me?"
"As your brother, am I not feeling heartache for you and wanting to care about you? I'm afraid that you, a young girl, are inexperienced and will be deceived. Many men nowadays only have a mouth... You come out, come out, I'll talk to you properly."
Ye Huimei could only look at him with a headache and resignedly went out, prepared to listen.
Ye Yaodong hooked his younger sister's shoulder and walked to the corner of the wall before saying earnestly, "A-Mei, I'm telling you, some men can't be judged by their appearance. When looking for a partner, you can't just look at the person themselves; you also have to see how their family is and whether they are easy to get along with."
"Mom will consider what the family is like. Are you very worried, Third Brother?"
"I'm talking to you seriously. When looking for a partner, you must spend more time together. You can't settle it too early. You have to figure out the person's temperament. What if they look like a human in the daytime but go home and get drunk at night?"
"Mm, that's for sure. At that time, I'll entrust Third Brother to figure out the person's ancestors for 18 generations."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Won't lower himself to her level.
"Also, a person must have ambition. You can't find that kind of person who just eats and waits to die, has a lot of tricks up their sleeve, eats and drinks all day, and hangs around everywhere..."
"Mm, can't find someone like you..."
Can't talk anymore!
The brother and sister stared at each other!
"Third Brother, don't you feel that your nagging appearance is more like a father than Dad? You're so young, yet you're so nagging. I feel like I've seen what you'll look like after you're 60..."
"You dead girl! I'm saying a few more words for your own good!"
"Mm... this sentence is also what Mom always says to you. You've learned to apply it."
Ye Yaodong was speechless!
"Are you trying to piss me off?"
Ye Huimei looked at him with a grin. "No, Third Brother, you continue saying yours, I'm listening!"
"Go, go, go, get lost, get lost. I can't be bothered to talk to you. Remember not to be bought by small favors, and don't let people take advantage of you. It's fine to take advantage of others!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Watching her cheerful back, Ye Yaodong felt quite like a daughter who couldn't be kept. Fortunately, he didn't have a daughter; otherwise, after raising her with shit and pee, she would easily run off with someone else, and he would be pissed to death!
No need to worry about sons; let them go harm someone else's girl in the future!
Out of sight, out of mind. He'd better go work.
After being busy for half a day, by the evening, A Guang suddenly ran over.
"Damn, I was just looking for you. Let's go out and talk." Ye Yaodong forcefully hooked his neck and was about to drag him out.
"Cough, cough, cough~ what are you doing? Murdering a brother? It's so tight." A Guang followed him out, shook off his restraint, coughed a few times, and touched his neck.
"Tell me, was that dog of a man at the corner at ten this morning you?"
"What dog of a man, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? I've been at home all morning." He played dumb; anyway, he wasn't caught on the spot!
"Confession is lenient, resistance is strict! You honestly confess to me, are you trying to steal my family's cabbage?"
"What's wrong with you? There's a whole row of cabbage behind my house, and you think I'd steal yours? Am I too full? Besides, if I want it, do I need to steal it?"
"Your family's cabbage isn't as fresh as mine." After finishing, he said in a low voice, "Stay away from my sister!"
Only then did A Guang understand what he meant by cabbage. He laughed awkwardly: "Hehe~ it really wasn't me, I'm busy."
"Typhoon weather, what are you busy with? Good cabbage can't be rooted by a pig; even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass around its nest."
"Brother, you can't say it like that. Cabbage must be picked while it's fresh to be delicious and sweet... ouch..."
Ye Yaodong directly poked his stomach with an elbow to give him a taste!
"So ruthless, I was just saying."
"What are you looking for me for? If you have something to say, say it quickly; if you have a fart, let it out quickly; if nothing, get lost quickly!"
A Guang rubbed his stomach and said gloomily: "MD, I've been talking nonsense with you for half a day and almost forgot the main business. It's typhoon weather, and I want to go out and try my luck. Do you want to go?"
"Are you crazy? In typhoon weather, everyone is hiding, and you still want to go against it and go out to sea at this time?"
"Let's try it. Just take my family's boat. There must be a lot of goods in typhoon weather. The deep sea is churning violently, and many deep-sea goods will be rolled in. The typhoon won't come for another two or three days, and I don't know if it will pass through here. The waves shouldn't be that big tomorrow."
"Will your father agree?"
"We'll go secretly. I'll tell him I'm getting up early to take the boat to the shelter!"
