Chapter 1128: Crying and Begging

"You don't need to say, everyone knows that group from the town is the most miserable..."

"We are considered lucky, at least we only spent a little money and the people came back."

"Adong, I heard you also bought several boats from the locals and brought them back. Are you going to rent these boats out again?"

Ye Yaodong said casually: "Probably, wait until the boats are repainted and brought back. However, I want to deal with those small wooden boats. Does anyone want them? If you do, I'll sell them at a 10% discount."

"10% discount, that's not much cheaper..."

"I've only used them for a month, they are still very new. Being able to be dozens of yuan cheaper after just one month in the water is very cost-effective."

If those who worked as boatmen for him wanted to buy, he would give them a 20% discount, and others would get a 10% discount. Only then would it appear that he was benevolent and would take care of those who worked for him.

Even being able to buy a boat at a lower discount than others, his reputation would be even better for no reason.

"Can my man reserve one to rent? We don't want the small wooden boats."

"The person is still outside and hasn't come back, and you are already reserving? Wait, wait until my boat comes back."

Ye Yaodong stood up directly to avoid everyone talking at once, all wanting his boat.

For those renting his boats, he had to find people with better reputations and who were more honest, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He walked toward a group of children. The shouting and cursing of these half-grown boys were louder than anyone else's, and his own were among them.

"This was bought by my daddy, if you want one, tell your daddy..."

"Your daddy must be in jail, that's why he didn't come back..."

"Lin Mu, you chicken-fucker, your daddy is the one in jail..."

"Lin Mu, you lazy-fucker, your daddy is the one in jail... A-Jiang, Chenghe, fuck him..."

"Fuck your mother... your whole family is in jail..."

"Lin Bei, you lazy-fucker..."

As soon as he walked over, he saw several half-grown boys twisting together, "What are you doing!"

"Lin Mu... go die, dare to curse my daddy..."

"Those who didn't come back are all in jail... your daddy is in jail..."

"Dare to hit my brother, you're dead..."

Ye Yaodong hadn't even pulled apart the fighting Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe when he saw Ye Chenghu, who was small, also waving his fists to squeeze in and fight.

Ye Chenghai specifically went to pull him and pulled him to the side, "Third Uncle, don't worry about it, let them fight."

"Holy shit, you've grown up, even fighting in groups."

The adults chatting on the side also saw the movement of the group fight and came over to pull them apart.

Ye Yaodong quickly grabbed his own boy by the collar and pulled him out.

After the boy who was beaten was pulled away, he immediately opened his mouth wide and cried, "My daddy is not in jail..."

Ye Yaodong watched the crying boy being led away by the adults in his family, and couldn't help but look at them.

"You've grown up, a group of people hitting one."

Ye Chengjiang blew his fist proudly, "Don't think about causing trouble on my turf, roar roar roar, ho ho ho..."

Ye Ersao slapped him on the head, "What are you proud of? Go home, if you don't beat him for three days, he'll tear down the roof, and you're still fighting with people..."

Ye Chengjiang, who was just looking smug, was instantly killed and cowardly. He slumped his shoulders and honestly lowered his head and walked home...

Ye Chenghe saw his mother also walking over aggressively with a whip, so he quickly ran away, "Brother, you cover the rear!"

Ye Chenghai turned to look at his mother and immediately raised both hands above his head, "It has nothing to do with me, I was just standing there watching, I didn't move a finger."

"You think I didn't hear, you were the one shouting the loudest. And 'fuck him'? Fuck your mother..."

Ye Chenghai grabbed the whip in his mother's hand and giggled, "My mother is you."

After saying that, he ran away immediately.

Ye Dasao's chest kept heaving with anger, but she couldn't do anything about her son who was already taller than her, so she could only keep scolding, and by the way, called Ye Yaopeng to let him teach his son.

Ye Yaodong also walked home carrying Ye Chenghu.

"My toys..."

Ye Chenghu turned his head and hugged the toys he dropped on the ground back into his arms before being dragged home.

Ye Yaodong scolded while walking, "Grown up? Even fighting in groups, others are so big fighting, you are so small and still squeeze in to fight, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death."

"Not afraid, I just hit a few times on the side, kicked a few times."

"Stand there and reflect properly, today's toys are confiscated."

"Ah, don't..."

Ye Yaodong whipped his calf with the whip, "Stand properly."

The old lady also led Ye Xiaoxi into the house and said: "This jail visit makes the children have no face when they go out. I don't know what they were doing. It's a good thing no one will shout nonsense."

Ye Xiaoxi ran toward him excitedly, then took the whip from his hand, and like a fox pretending to be a tiger, also whipped Ye Chenghu's calf, shouting in a milky voice: "Stand properly..."

Ye Chenghu glared at her pretending to be fierce.

She immediately turned to pull Ye Yaodong, "Daddy."

"Are you still unconvinced?"

Ye Xiaoxi quickly whipped again, parroting, "Unconvinced?"

Ye Yaodong was angry and funny, and picked up this little girl who was pretending to be a tiger, "Don't make trouble, what does it have to do with you."

"If you're not obedient, you have to be beaten!"

"If you're not obedient, do you have to be beaten?"

She dropped the whip and immediately ran outside, shouting as she ran, "Don't."

"Daddy, sister is going to be spoiled by you!"

Ye Yaodong took the whip and whipped his leg again, "What does it have to do with you?"

"I just got back and you hit me."

"You talk back again."

Ye Chenghu immediately closed his mouth tightly.

Ye Yaodong sat on the side with his legs crossed and looked at him. It's rare to be back, so fatherly kindness and filial piety are still needed.

After Lin Xiuqing came back, he threw the children to her to watch, and he ran out again to take a stroll.

He was the first to run to the workshop to take a look. The two boys watching the door were there idly hitting mosquitoes. After seeing him come, they were excited and immediately stood up and shouted Dong Ge respectfully.

"It should be very idle recently, right?"

"Hehe, yeah, you aren't home, the boat isn't home, and there are no goods. We just guard the gate every day, at most chop firewood and carry water, occasionally every three or five days the tractor drives out to deliver a few trips of fish sauce."

"There is nothing to do, you go back one person, one person guards it at night, tomorrow call everyone over."

"Okay."

"Rock, paper, scissors, whoever loses stays to guard at night..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them and strolled to other places.

The whole village was discussing their return trip, in every corner, wherever you walked you could hear it.

Everyone was also looking forward to those who hadn't returned coming back quickly.

Seeing him, they all had to pull him to ask a few more questions about what happened on this trip, to verify if it was the same as what others said. In the end, they just wouldn't give up, and by the way, asked him if he was still going.

He answered no to all of them.

After a stroll, he walked toward home again.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were sitting at the door chatting, and he saw them and sat down too.

"Dongzi, when will the accounts for the Harvest be settled?"

"Tomorrow? Just got back today, no need to be so anxious."

Except for the Harvest, other boats that returned with him would also settle accounts tomorrow. The boats that didn't return would be put aside for now. Even if they sold the goods to the locals, there would be cargo lists.

Ye Yaopeng said enviously: "You are the one who earned the most on this trip."

"I am also the one who spent the most. It's a good thing you dumped Agu and the others early, otherwise, it would be you who spent money to bail people out."

Both brothers looked a bit embarrassed.

"I don't know if they are still making money over there after we came back."

"Wait a few days and see if there is a phone call back, then we will know."

"Are you sure you aren't going over there anymore?"

Ye Yaodong asked back: "Do you still want to go?"

"Not really, just want to ask you, coming back early on this trip feels a pity."

"It's about enough. Each of you should have earned a few thousand, right? Just drag nets at home. Later, if they have news transmitted back, listen to their situation, and everyone will consider next year. They are acting as our test subjects over there now."

Both nodded, thinking that those are all white mice now, and they don't want to go again.

Ye Yaodong sat for a while as if enjoying the cool, and it was eight or nine o'clock before he called the children home to take a shower and sleep.

Summer vacation, one by one playing crazy from morning to night, full of energy, they have to take a shower before going to bed, otherwise it will be full of sweat.

Ye Xiaoxi is the same, there is no child in the countryside who is clean.

Watching Lin Xiuqing give her a shower, he remembered to ask about the land in the city.

"Has your brother started building the house in the city?"

"Not yet, he just leveled the ground, saying he would wait until the second half of the year to build, saying there are many typhoons in these two months, and it is impossible to cover it all at once, wanting to wait until the second half of the year when there is less rain to build."

"Also, wait until tomorrow after settling the accounts, I will also go to the city to take a look, go to the village to find some workers to level the ground, and then let your brother and our father help watch it."

"What are you going to do with that land? 13 acres, isn't that too much?"

"First build a two-story small courtyard, then build a large warehouse on the side, and leave the remaining land empty for now, tie a circle with some ropes, or let people make a fence, and let your father plant vegetables first."

"Plant vegetables?"

"Plant vegetables first, didn't you understand? Plan later, no need to use it immediately now, the market is not built yet, what are we in a hurry for."

"Fine, anyway, you have the final say."

Ye Yaodong took off his clothes and pants and climbed onto the bed first, "Not home for a month, is the village peaceful?"

"Peaceful, why wouldn't it be peaceful, it's all the same, the most lively thing is when you call back, everyone tells each other."

"How is the kelp in the village?"

"I don't know about this, I only heard a few words that they are still working on the rope."

"I'll ask tomorrow."

"You are this, you are that, can you manage it?"

"I don't do it myself? Isn't this kelp farming thing for the village committee? This will be made into collective assets later."

Lin Xiuqing didn't make a sound, anyway she didn't understand his thoughts, tossing this and tossing that, according to her, the money on hand is enough for them to be safe and stable, no need to do other things, just these current industries are enough for them to earn.

Her idea is to be small and rich, that's enough.

After washing Ye Xiaoxi clean, she lifted her onto the bed, patted her little butt, and explained to Ye Yaodong, "Put her clothes on, I'll go make her some malted milk."

"Just let her have a few mouthfuls of your milk."

"Not enough for her to eat."

"Eating too much is not good, she will wet the bed."

Ye Xiaoxi immediately retorted, "No."

Ye Yaodong smiled and gnawed on her tender little feet, "I wasn't home, did you wet the bed?"

"No, smelly feet for you to eat."

"Mine for you to eat too."

"No, so smelly so smelly~"

"Washed, you said it wasn't smelly when I just came back, don't dislike it now, let you smell it..."

Ye Yaodong's big foot covered her face, she laughed and dodged left and right, but her facial features were distorted by the foot.

"Help, help, hahahaha... so smelly... hahaha..."

Lin Xiuqing came in with the malted milk and smiled: "Stop making trouble, it's time to sleep, making trouble like this, you won't be able to sleep later."

Ye Xiaoxi broke free at this moment, turned over to take charge, and sat astride his feet, prying open his soles and reaching out to tickle them incessantly.

Ye Yaodong was scratched by her, immediately shrank, circled her with two feet, fixed her, and made her laugh non-stop.

"Stop playing, hurry up, it's going to be cold, hurry up and drink."

Lin Xiuqing stood on the side and urged with a smile, and he stretched his feet and let her go.

"Stop playing, hurry up and sleep."

"Still want to play."

Ye Xiaoxi was still unfinished, supported herself on him with both hands, climbed on him, hugged his neck, and twisted her body to act like a spoiled child, "Still want to play, Daddy, still want to play..."

Ye Yaodong also hugged her and swayed for a while, then hugged her and sat up, "Okay, play tomorrow, if you don't sleep, your mother will be angry."

"Okay."

She picked up the bowl and drank half of it, then handed the bowl to his mouth, Ye Yaodong happily took a sip, and then handed it to her mouth, and she continued to drink the rest.

"Ha~ finished drinking."

Ye Yaodong hugged her and lay down again, patted her little butt, "Sleep."

Ye Xiaoxi also covered his eyes with her hands, helping him close them, "Sleep."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and turned off the lights, letting the father and daughter sleep first. She had to check the courtyard doors and windows, and whether the two boys upstairs were asleep, before she could return to the room to sleep.

Ye Yaodong hugged the little dumpling in his arms, patted and coaxed her lightly, originally thinking about having a meat meal to reward himself at night, but as he coaxed, he coaxed himself to sleep, and didn't even know when the person beside him lay down and fell asleep.

There was no day when he slept well when he was away, he was worried every day, afraid of something happening, but something big really happened during that time, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and worried for a long time.

Once he returned home, his whole person relaxed, his tense nerves were straightened, the warm family atmosphere was too comfortable, immersed in it, making him sleep exceptionally soundly, until dawn.

Until someone came to his door early in the morning to call him, and the old lady knocked on the door to wake him up, he was woken up.

"What's wrong? It's only 6 o'clock..."

Lin Xiuqing was also woken up by the knocking, got up to open the door and heard the old lady say someone was calling him outside.

"I don't know, Grandma said someone is calling you outside, saying a large group of people came to the village to find you, and are being blocked by the villagers."

Ye Yaodong immediately woke up and quickly got up.

"Are those people from the town making trouble at the door?"

"Should be, I'll go out and see, you don't go out."

He only put on his pants, took his clothes and walked outside, putting them on while walking, the people behind him told him to be careful, he just nodded, and ran with the people at the door.

"What's going on? Are they here to make trouble or what?"

"Said they are here to beg you for help, a large group of people, looking at it, there are two or three hundred people, men, women, old and young, a large group of people entered the village and scared everyone, the villagers quickly took tools to block them, thinking they were looking for trouble."

It was really guessed by him.

Such a large group of people said they were here to beg for help, but it also belonged to making trouble.

"Dong Ge, they must want you to help bail out the people on their side."

"Where do I have that ability?"

"So many people, must be comforted well."

Ye Yaodong frowned and ran quickly.

The main road in the village was crowded with people, looking over, it was all heads, the villagers were holding tools to block the group of people opposite.

But the group of people opposite didn't bring tools, just crying and shouting there, making the villagers a little at a loss.

"Dong Ge is here, Dong Ge is here, make way..."

"Adong is here..."

Everyone shouted twice, the crowd automatically made a path, and the crying and shouting opposite became louder.

Ye Yaodong just walked to the front, the leading old, weak, women and children immediately knelt down.

"Comrade, please save my man... I know you are capable..."

"Save my son and grandson... all the men in our family went out, didn't come back... please, have pity on us..."

"Please help, we kowtow to you..."

Ye Yaodong didn't expect such a big scene as soon as he came, and didn't know what to do for a while, one by one old, weak, women and children crying bitterly, he thought it would be hard first and then soft, didn't expect it to be like this as soon as he came.

"No, you get up first, talk well."

"Please help, you are a living Bodhisattva, the men in the family are counting on you..."

"How much money we are willing to pay, how much money we can pay, please help, we will smash the pot and sell the iron to make it up, please... our men are all gone... woo woo damn Chen Jianian... ran away directly... please..."

"The men in our family are all in, please, I will set up a long-life tablet for you... save our family, otherwise we can't live..."

"Uncle... please save my daddy..."

Ye Yaodong felt sour in his heart, some women in the village heard these people crying and shouting, some tears came down, and they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts, fortunately their own men came back.

Some men were also sighing there, their faces were unbearable.

If they really hit the village, everyone could ruthlessly beat people out, but begging for help like this, everyone's compassion was moved, and everyone felt that these people were too pitiful.

"Don't be like this, calm down first, have you understood the cause and result of the matter?"

The man on the side wiped his tears and said: "Adong, sorry, it's not that we want to bring so many people to the door, it's really that we can't bear the begging of the villagers."

"Yeah, everyone didn't sleep all night, finally sat until dawn, and couldn't wait to come to you for help as soon as it was dawn."

No wonder everyone's eyes were swollen like peaches, and their faces were haggard.

Ye Yaodong frowned and asked: "Where is Chen Jianian?"

"He ran away, heard from neighbors that his house had been empty for half a month, everyone was strange, yesterday we came back and said it, everyone hit the door, many people knew he ran away in advance."

"Damned Chen Jianian, damn it... it's all his fault..."

"Black-hearted, rotten intestines, curse him to the 18th floor of hell, it's all his instigation that everyone followed, but he ran away, our men went in, damn it..."

The man on the side said again: "Yesterday everyone smashed his house, the house was demolished, even his brothers, sisters and parents were not spared..."

"Please, help, comrade, only you can save my man... any amount of money is fine, I will smash the pot and sell the iron to make it up for you... thank you for eight generations..."

"Uncle, please save my daddy, I will be a cow and a horse for you..."

A large group of people were crying and shouting for him again, Ye Yaodong didn't know what to do no matter how he shouted for them to get up, he had to turn to look at the village cadres, let them comfort these people.

The villagers were also saying that they were too pitiful.

Those kneeling people saw Ye Yaodong retreating, panicked and immediately stood up and wanted to rush up, afraid he would run away.

"Don't go..."

"Comrade, Comrade Ye Yaodong, don't go..."

Ye Yaodong immediately stopped, "I didn't go, you calm down, if you don't calm down, we can't even talk."

The village cadres also immediately comforted everyone, "Everyone talk well, kneeling and begging is useless, you have to listen to Adong, want him to help, you have to listen to what he says?"

"Everyone calm down, know you have difficulties, know your men are caught, all want to beg him for help, but you have to talk well."

Ye Yaodong asked: "Did the village cadres over there come? Such a big thing should also let their village cadres come to negotiate."

Involving themselves, these people are always not so calm, want them to listen, also have to have people who can make them listen.

"There are people from several villages here..."

"Then let them call their village cadres together, so many villagers ran over to have demands, they also have to manage."

"You calm down, this thing is not something that can be done by moving your lips, I really don't have such big ability."

"Please..."

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, talk well."

Ye Yaodong was extremely helpless, he thought this morning was a hard battle, so he thought about calling all the little brothers over yesterday, didn't expect it to be such a soft battle, his head was aching.

Looking at a group of white-haired old people, and some children crying with red eyes, no matter how hard the heart was, it couldn't be hard.

"The cause, process and result of the matter, you should have heard from those who came back? I was kind enough to take those people in, gave them wages and sent them back, they are lucky, ran in time."

"Our villagers can be bailed out because they didn't participate in the shootout, everyone should know how bad the nature of this shootout is, now the people detained are those who participated in it or killed people, you should know that it is strictly hit now."

"Don't know if you have heard, stealing a bicycle will be sentenced to 10 years, fighting and fighting are caught for five or six years, seven or eight years, killing people is even more unnecessary, directly executed."

"Your relatives who didn't come back were all caught on the spot in the shootout, no matter how innocent they are, they participated in it, do you think I, an ordinary fisherman, have the ability to fish people out?"

Everyone in the crowd couldn't help but shed tears, but their mouths couldn't help but squirm and shout for help...

"We saw the situation was wrong at that time, left early, as for why they fought with the locals, I don't know, after all, we really didn't have any dealings. Fortunately, our villagers are relatively obedient to me, I let them go, they left."

"We were caught because we saw the situation was wrong, afraid of being implicated, wanted to leave, but were stopped by the locals, everyone was beaten by the locals and then caught, so it was so easy to fish people out."

"The main thing is that our villagers didn't participate in it, and I don't have such magical powers, the Public Security Bureau is not what I say, the bureau is not opened by me, I am a fisherman, everyone should know."

"Sigh, I also sympathize with everyone's encounter, if possible, I certainly hope everyone comes out, after all, everyone is from the same place, no family can bear the loss of the backbone, the pillar."

"I am also the backbone of the family, I have parents and children, old and young, I can understand everyone's urgent mood, but my ability is really limited, I am a fisherman, at most I know one or two people, but everyone knows, the relationship is just a relationship, this big thing of execution is not something that can be done by moving your lips."

The people standing in the front were all paralyzed on the ground, and the crowd instantly became a piece shorter.

"Please help, we really have no way... really have no way... family broken and people dead..."

"Ah ah ah... why didn't God take me away, let me white-haired send off black-haired... let me pay for life with life... I am an old woman with nothing to live for, save my son, my grandson..."

"I kowtow to you, think of a way, let me do anything..."

Ye Yaodong looked at a group of people and became like that again, kneeling and begging, instantly helpless again, he said what he should say, and he really didn't have such great magical powers.

He looked at the village cadres for help.

The village cadres were also sighing there looking around.

"Really no way?"

"Those people are going to be executed, those who are not executed are at least 10 years or more, do you think if they are locked in our town's Public Security Bureau, you have a way to get people out?"

Everyone shook their heads together.

"Don't talk about getting them out together, getting one out is difficult."

"Then that's it? Our villagers can come out because they didn't really participate in it, and they were caught afterwards, so it was easy, otherwise they would have to be one or two years."

"Then so many people are kneeling here begging, and can't be driven away, what to do?"

"Wait for the village cadres of each village to come." ===== CHAPTER 1129 =====
