Chapter 1120: Solution

~25 min read 4,824 words

Money is indeed calculated!

Just earned 25,000, he could already calculate that he earned 100,000, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Looking at the numbers on the notebook, he closed the flashlight with a smile, listening to the snoring and waves in his ears, and gradually entered a dream.

Running back and forth for a day was not easier than on the sea, and he was indeed exhausted. His spirit had been tense for the past few days, fearing another accident on the sea.

As a boat boss, he was more worried than anyone else. The boatmen didn't need to use their brains, just listen to instructions and do things, and they could rest after finishing. He had to use his brain and labor.

Now that he bought a siheyuan, he rewarded himself.

Calculated, there were still 12,000-something left. Tomorrow he could enter another 4000-something yuan. He decided to take time to go ashore tomorrow and go to remit another 10,000 yuan back.

In the afternoon, he ran back and forth for the house, and later registered and changed locks. He didn't have time to extract it at all. It was also because he sold a wave of jellyfish blood and cargo last night that he could have 12,000-something left.

After thinking about the daily plan for the next few days again, he gradually entered a dream while shaking.

The next day, they continued the trajectory of the previous few days and came to the fishing point as usual.

After a few days of salvaging, everyone formed a little tacit understanding. Both sides gradually unloaded their defenses. Even if they found that there were a few more fishing boats on the sea surface, seeing that they were all observing the agreement, Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.

The local fishing boats returned fully loaded every day, which of course would attract attention. It was inevitable that fishing boats would gradually increase, and there would always be local fishing boats with red eyes following behind, looking for places.

As long as the tacit understanding wasn't broken and the newly arrived boats observed the agreement and didn't deliberately grab, for the sake of both sides' interests, they definitely couldn't tear their faces.

Now that it has entered the peak fishing season, a large amount of jellyfish emerge every day, which is enough to support so many fishing boats to salvage all day. Everyone is too busy to salvage, so of course, they can't care about other fishing boats.

These local fishing boats are also here for the first time this year. They don't know that resources also have times of exhaustion. They only look at what's in front of them. As long as what's in front is enough to fish, no one cares about the newly joined fishing boats, as long as there is no conflict.

Just like this, Ye Yaodong continued for a week with a stable harvest of over 4000 yuan, while the local fishing boats on the sea surface were also increasing day by day, doubling.

Being salvaged with high intensity for a long time, the jellyfish emerging in the sea trench also had some fatigue, and the speed of emerging was gradually not as large as the previous few days.

Everyone discovered this phenomenon, but it was barely enough for so many fishing boats to fish. However, by the end of the month, it could only barely support until dusk, and it couldn't keep up with the speed of salvaging. The fishing boats had increased too much.

When returning to the shore at night, everyone was discussing while queuing to weigh the cargo.

"These locals are too immoral. We agreed to coexist peacefully, but as a result, the boats on their side are increasing day by day. If it weren't for thinking about not causing trouble, fearing the gunfight a while ago, we would have beaten them until their parents didn't recognize them..."

"Stop bragging. They have so many people. If we really fight, we will be the ones beaten, and then everyone will go to jail together."

"It feels like the quantity is less in the past two days. Can we not salvage for a few days?"

"It looks about the same as the later stage of last year. It can't last for a few days, and the boats have increased again."

"Fortunately, we also took the opportunity to earn quite a bit in these days. If the quantity is less, let's end it early."

"Adong, the day you said is also up, right?"

Everyone looked at him who had sold the cargo in advance.

"I remember the date. I will ask tomorrow to see if there is a result."

"It's been more than ten days before and after, there should be a result, right?"

"Only after asking will I know."

He didn't know the current efficiency. Anyway, he would go to ask tomorrow, Friday, and by the way, go to remit the money saved in the past two days.

"Compared to the people inside, we are considered quite good. At least we can earn money."

"That's true. If they are really released, it will be fished out, money won't be earned, and they will have squatted inside for so long."

"Should be satisfied."

Ye Yaodong listened to the discussion of a group of people, thought for a moment, and reminded, "Now there are twice as many local boats as us. If you can avoid conflicts, don't conflict. Anyway, the money that should be earned has been earned by everyone."

"Later, the quantity will decrease day by day. If you see it's about the same, let's find it on the sea surface and salvage it. Going home safely is the most important thing."

"Don't just get the money in your hands and then end up causing a scene at the very last moment, letting it all go down the drain. That's very possible too; after all, with fewer resources and more fishing boats, you'll definitely end up fighting tooth and nail for them. You all better be careful."

Ye Yaodong also reminded, "This is indeed true. When the sun is about to set in the evening and there are not many jellyfish, there are boats grabbing our cargo. Fortunately, we retreated, otherwise, we might have fought again."

"Everyone wants to earn more money. When the quantity is small, it's like this. When the quantity is large, there is no need to grab at all. So I just want you guys to be careful in the next few days. What you have earned now is already stronger than many people. You know, a part of people must be executed."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and some sighed.

Some were people from the town who followed Chen Jianian. They were all sad for the rabbit and the fox. Everyone came here with ambition to earn money, but didn't expect that less than half of the people would go back.

"Don't know if Chen Jianian was caught. It's been so many days and I haven't heard."

"If he wasn't caught, he wouldn't dare to go back. He incited so many people to come here to earn money, but in the end, more than half of the people couldn't go back. If the family members don't look for him, who do they look for?"

"Yes, so speaking, it's better if he was caught, otherwise he will be beaten to death when he goes back."

"Tomorrow you will know if he was caught. If he wasn't caught, he probably ran away one step earlier, maybe he went back secretly and took his wife and children to run."

Ye Yaodong looked curiously at the remaining troops who were organizing baskets for him, "Did you guys call back in these days?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"No, we go out to sea before dawn every day, and come back when it's dark. There is no chance to go out to make a phone call."

"That's true. That means the news hasn't been passed back. If Chen Jianian runs fast, he might have gone back secretly one step earlier and took his wife and children away."

Everyone looked at each other. Some wanted to pass the news but really didn't have time. These days, they were working early and returning late, and every day they were exhausted when they came back, and they fell asleep, so they didn't have the heart to think about other things. Being able to protect themselves was already Mazu's blessing.

And the people in their village didn't dare to say it at all.

Everyone's boat had losses, and everyone was still holding fantasies, wanting to wait for the result, so they didn't dare to pass the bad situation back.

If people could be redeemed, it would be considered dangerous when they go back. Now, without a result, it would only cause worry in vain, and they would have to be scolded. Generally, the boat bosses call their own relatives.

"Alright, I've reminded you guys. Let's go back to eat after packing up. We still have to cook jellyfish blood later, and there's still a lot to do."

Hearing the topic of everyone's discussion change from jellyfish to people, Ye Yaodong also urged his side to go back quickly.

He and the Feng Shou returned early and sold the cargo, while others were still queuing to weigh.

After returning, he took advantage of eating and exhorted his side again.

Tomorrow he will go out to sea in the morning, and he has to go to the Sea Police Bureau at noon, so if there are fishing boats grabbing cargo on the sea, let them go if they can. Safety first.

His eldest brother said that when the cargo was small in the evening, there was already a phenomenon of grabbing cargo. Tomorrow daytime should be fine, but in the evening, when the cargo is small, it is estimated that there will be some. Still have to pay attention, and he can't watch it tomorrow.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, "We have to let it go. They are all small wooden boats, how dare we grab? When we see larger boats coming, we will hide far away."

Ye Yaodong also felt relieved. They are all small boats, and these people are all earning dead wages. Who would fight for his earnings? Originally, they were hiding from big boats. Having seen the tragic state before, they must be protecting their lives first.

"Hmm, safety first. After asking tomorrow, see if we can save people. If we can, after people are released, there shouldn't be much cargo in the sea trench. Everyone has to find it on the sea surface or go back early."

"Then it's better to go back early."

"Just afraid that the people just released won't be reconciled..."

"Then what can be done? Who told them to be unlucky..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about the discussion, finished his lunch simply, and took a simple bath.

Watching them busy cooking, drying, eating, and bathing in an orderly manner, he didn't care anymore, let them arrange it themselves, and he took the lead to return to the boat, not guarding here anymore.

The first thing he did when he returned to the boat was to calculate the money earned today and record the accounts.

What he earned today was not as much as the previous few days. Without jellyfish blood, three trips only sold for 2600, and adding 900 yuan of jellyfish blood, it only sold for 3500-something.

It started to drop three days ago. At the peak, one day sold for 4400. He estimated that tomorrow would only be 3000 yuan. After all, jellyfish blood is the big head.

Day by day, the fishing quantity decreases, and jellyfish blood naturally starts to decrease sharply, and it has to be less by several hundred yuan every day.

However, taking advantage of the two days to save people, he can still persist to earn a bit more. Several hundred yuan is also several hundred yuan. Others are bitterly earning several yuan of wages a day. He can have several hundred yuan a day, which is already amazing.

After recording the accounts, he calculated what he earned in these few days, wrote and drew on the paper for a long time, and calculated the earnings for a week.

Plus what he earned in the previous few days, the total is. Adding hairtail and sea urchins, he earned 10,000 yuan. As of today, the total he earned on this trip is.

After coming out, his biggest hobby is calculating accounts. Where can he have such a large account to calculate at home? It's all small money. He gets a headache just thinking about counting one cent or two cents. Here, he receives big money, and he only needs to record one stroke.

By the way, after calculating his own, he calculated the Feng Shou and other fishing boats.

When they were selling the cargo, he was watching on the side, and estimating it would be accurate.

The Feng Shou's daily income in the past few days was over a thousand. At the peak, it could be 1300 or 1400. Under normal circumstances, it was around a thousand. Today it was a bit less, only 800-something. Tomorrow it would probably be less.

But just in these few days, it should be able to have more, and then deduct the daily fuel money, it can still have around, this is without adding hairtail.

And other ordinary fishing boats should also be able to have 4000-something yuan. It can be said that everyone had a big harvest.

Continue to salvage for a few days, and it can be a bit more.

The polarization on this trip is a bit serious.

The miserable are miserable, the laughing are laughing!

Although he is the laughing side, he still sighed in his heart, and then closed the account book.

This year's fishing season is a bit earlier than last year. Relatively, the date of finishing salvaging will definitely be earlier. Plus the increase in fishing boats in recent days, the salvaging on the next morning, they clearly felt that the quantity decreased very quickly.

Yesterday it could still support until dusk. They felt that today it could only support until the afternoon and had to give up in advance.

When Ye Yaodong went out in the morning, he looked not optimistic. When the small boats were moving cargo, he instructed them again to look at the situation in the afternoon. If there was no quantity, go to the sea surface to look for it in advance, and don't stay in the sea trench.

It was also because he didn't watch it himself and wasn't at ease, so he could only instruct in advance.

Who knew that when he extracted time to go to the Sea Police Bureau, he learned that Zeng Weimin went to a meeting early in the morning, just to deal with the gunfight on the pier, and might come back next week, asking him to come again next week.

He could only return without success and continue to wait for two days.

Just when he ran back to the outside of the pier, he found that the sky that was originally shining brightly suddenly turned cloudy, and it was windy.

He muttered while running, "Why does it feel like a typhoon is coming?"

The cargo on the pier was only collected halfway. Everyone also saw the sky that was a bit cloudy suddenly, and they all frowned. But seeing Ye Yaodong run back so quickly, everyone was extremely surprised, and they couldn't care about cursing the sky.

"Why did Adong come back so quickly?"

"Didn't he just go to the Sea Police Bureau?"

"Dongzi, did you ask? So fast?"

Ye Yaodong ran out of breath, "People are not there, said they went to a meeting to deal with our matter, have to wait until next week to come back, we still have to wait for two days."

"Oh, still have to wait for two days, so long."

"Wait for two days, then wait for two days. We have waited for such a long time, where is the difference of these two days? Taking advantage of these two days, we can salvage again."

"Looks like we can't salvage, seems like it's going to rain."

"It's windy, and the sky is cloudy."

"It has been a big sun for this period of time, from last month to now, it has been a big sun. Being able to persist until now is already very good. If it doesn't rain again, the river will be dried up."

Ye Yaodong thought that there was a big typhoon this year. Although it didn't land here, it was also blowing towards the East China Sea. The coastal area here would definitely be affected. Just don't know when it will come.

Anyway, every year's July, August, September, and October are the months with the most typhoons. Just entering July, it might be a bit less.

Looking at the weather that turned cloudy suddenly today, he was also a bit worried.

Just finished selling the cargo, he ran to the Sea Police Bureau. The Dong Sheng had already left no shadow. However, he could wait for these fishing boats to finish selling the cargo and take a ride over.

In the time he ran back and forth, half of the boats had already left. The remaining ones didn't have many boats. It happened that his second brother's boat was there. After his second brother finished selling the cargo, he got on his second brother's boat.

It's just that before returning to the sea trench, halfway, the sky started to rain, blurring everyone's vision.

Halfway, many small boats were rowing oars to the shore. When they were close to the sea trench, they also met many fishing boats desperately rushing back.

It happened that they also met the Dong Sheng walking back.

His boat was still very eye-catching. Among the crowd of small boats, the blue and white alternating colors were very conspicuous even in the rain from a distance. He took the flag in advance and shook it, and then let his second brother approach first.

The whole deck was full of dense people, and a pile of small boats were tied behind. And the jellyfish were probably in the fish hold.

Seeing him get on the boat, everyone asked if people could be saved first.

He had to repeat it again.

"Then have to wait for two days. It's raining today, don't know if it will rain tomorrow. Looking at the wind, it's quite big..."

"If it rains, let's rest. It just happens to wait for the result. This morning I felt there wasn't much cargo. Just now when the sky turned cloudy, before it rained, the jellyfish on the sea surface sank."

"It's good if it rains. No cargo, can't salvage, naturally there won't be conflicts."

Ye Yaodong also thought so. Giving up actively would make him feel heartache, but being passive because of the weather, no one could salvage, so it was balanced.

It just happened that before the result came out, there was no need to worry about causing disputes again.

"Our luck can be considered good, we can salvage for so many days, and when the quantity decreases, it rains."

"Good my ass, people are still inside and haven't been saved, this is called good luck."

"I said us, didn't say them. Those who came out, the lucky ones are very good, the unlucky ones are very unlucky."

"This is true."

Ye Yaodong peeled off the wet clothes on his body, went to the cockpit to take over the control of the fishing boat, and took everyone back together.

When they returned to the shore again, the rain didn't decrease but increased. There was no one on the shore. The fishing boats that should have returned had all returned to the shore. There were no pedestrians on the road, and the acquisition points on the pier were all closed.

The houses now are all low, and the eaves are just a little bit. If you want to find a place without rain to weigh the cargo, you can't. Everyone can only wait in the rain.

After the truck came, it brought a roll of nylon bags. Everyone helped to support it, and only then could there be a place without rain to weigh the cargo. It was miserable, but they had experienced more miserable things. This was nothing to everyone.

It's just that after selling the cargo, everyone was in trouble.

On sunny days, it was fine for everyone to rely on a roll of mat to sleep on the fishing boat. Now that it was raining so heavily, there was no place to sleep, except for the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou.

The Feng Shou couldn't accommodate them, so everyone could only look for Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong had already run away with people immediately after selling the cargo.

A group of people looked left and right, turned around and didn't see him. Under A Guang's reminder, they could only go to the hostel to stay.

This was also the second day. A Guang was bored on the boat and ran to play at his place, and he knew it.

"Treating me as omnipotent, when encountering things, the first thing is to think of me. When there are good things, they won't think of me."

"Who told you to be everyone's leader? You are everyone's backbone. You are the most capable among everyone."

"Cut, if they really came over last night, I couldn't accommodate them here either. I could only take them to the hostel. Originally, I had 30-something people here. If everyone really relied on me, then in this rainy day, it's inconvenient to go out, and I still have to manage their food and drink? Thinking beautifully."

"Rainy day is uncomfortable, can't go anywhere. Fortunately, you are smart, bought a courtyard."

Ye Yaodong smiled, "Now you know I am smart. At critical moments, having a house to shelter from the wind and rain is quite good. At least it's not so miserable."

A Guang looked at the group of people surrounding the middle hall, the gambling sound was lively, and it looked pleasing to the eye.

"Indeed, everyone can only shrink in a small space. You still have a siheyuan here, and everyone can take advantage of the rainy day to gamble two hands."

"Continuously working for more than half a month, everyone's tense spirit just relaxed, it's strange if they don't gamble."

"I'll go gamble two hands too." A Guang rubbed his hands and hurriedly joined.

Ye Yaodong still raised his feet, sat on the bench and looked at the heavy rain outside. A gust of wind blew over, and the rain outside was smashed in a bit, wetting his feet.

He had to move the stool inside again.

"This is wind and rain, it doesn't look good."

There was no TV or radio in hand, and he couldn't listen to the broadcast, and he didn't know if it was a typhoon. He could only judge by experience.

It happened that typhoon days were the most weird. Sometimes the sun was shining brightly, sometimes the wind was cool for several days, or it rained heavily for several days.

A Guang ran over, and not long after, Pei Fu also came. Not long after, the remaining people on their boat also ran over, and they all joined the gambling game.

Then someone ran over to ask him to advance wages. He was speechless and could only get up to get money.

As a result, it was endless.

He directly took the account book, held a bit of banknotes in his hand, and waited for the people in the battle to run out to advance. Otherwise, if someone came in a while, he would have to get up once.

A Guang just won ten-something yuan and came out, with a satisfied face, "Didn't come in vain today."

"Shouldn't you pay me some venue fee?"

He felt like he was sitting here like a stacker, ready to raise money for people at any time.

"Can you still look at this little bit of money?"

"Mosquito legs are also meat. Dozens of people, every day just meat and vegetables have to be 20-something yuan. Fortunately, there are some vegetables planted in the front and back doors of this courtyard, which also saved us for so many days."

A Guang put away the money, moved a chair, sat on the side and asked seriously: "If there is news on Monday, should we handle the matter and go back?"

"Go back. If it's handled well, we will definitely go back immediately. Do you still want to continue salvaging here?"

"Just afraid that the people who just came out didn't earn money, and also caused a mess, and are not reconciled to go back like this."

"If they can really come out, that's also great luck. Still have the mood to continue staying to salvage, not afraid of another accident, I am also convinced."

"That's true. Once afraid, it is estimated that they won't dare to stay long."

"Hmm, anyway, I am thinking of going back immediately. If others are reluctant to go back, then don't care about them, plan for themselves."

Although after the sunny day, he can continue to salvage sea urchins, but half of the people he caught have gone. After they are released, everyone must be eager to go home.

Being caught and locked up for ten days and a half months, for ordinary people, it is no less than encountering a big disaster. How can they have the mood to continue earning money for him? He can't ignore everyone's wishes and be unreasonable, and he has earned enough.

"Tomorrow is another day, and the day after tomorrow will know the result. Don't know when the rain will stop."

"Whether the rain stops or not, it won't affect the case being in progress."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, seeing someone running over to ask him to advance wages again, he directly put the money away and didn't give it anymore.

"That's about it. If it's all advanced, it won't be easy to explain when going back. Coming out to work, going back empty-handed, not earning a cent, the wife at home will scold to death. Alright, go cook."

With his words, everyone slowly stopped.

Counting money, sighing.

Waited for two days, and the rain continued for two days without stopping, and the wind was even louder.

On Monday, Ye Yaodong waited for the time after breakfast. The heavy rain outside had not stopped, and when the time came, he could only wear a coir raincoat, bring a bamboo hat, and continue to go to the Sea Police Bureau in the rain.

He wasn't stood up today.

When he went, Zeng Weimin also went straight to the point and said to him: "I went back and forth to hold meetings for three days last week, and also discussed the handling plan. I also tried my best to arrange it. I can protect your father out directly. There is no one inside who is your relative, right?"

Ye Yaodong accompanied with a smile: "Yes, there are three or four cousins, cousins, and seven or eight distant uncles, and a few other relatives..."

Zeng Weimin couldn't help but laugh, holding his forehead and saying: "You have too many relatives, and you really brought your whole family to earn money."

"Sigh, people on our side like to hug in families, hug in neighbors, go out to make money, of course, everyone goes up together, and didn't think about this incident this year."

"You have too many people, I don't have such great authority to protect all the relatives who have entanglements with you."

"Try your best. Although I want everyone to come out, it's not good to make you too embarrassed, and I don't dare to expect too much."

His father can be protected out directly, he has already breathed a sigh of relief, and others can only try their best.

"Those who were caught when you ran away... still the same sentence, say you participated, you participated, say you are safe, you are safe, but it is impossible to bear no responsibility at all, and all be released without any damage. If there are few people, I can still be the master."

"Then can it be punished lightly? My relatives are really a bit many..."

"Yes, it has been discussed. You group of people whose situation is relatively light and didn't cause trouble, we discussed in the meeting, and you can directly pay money to redeem, redeem back by head. Now it is treated equally, all fined 300 per person." ===== CHAPTER 1121 =====
