Chapter 1129: Discussing a Solution

Hundreds of people were all standing on the side of the road, looking at them with eager eyes. The original crying and shouting sounds slowly turned into sobbing.

That large group of people watched them whispering and talking there, thinking they were communicating countermeasures, and everyone was patiently waiting there.

Just after waiting for a while, they all stood there dryly, without saying a word, and couldn't help it.

"Comrade Ye Yaodong, give us a straight answer, hundreds of people are waiting there, just waiting for you to save their lives."

"Yeah, everyone is waiting to save their lives, help us... everyone knows you are capable..."

"If my son and grandson can't come out, I won't live either..."

"Have pity on us orphans and widows, help us..."

Ye Yaodong had a headache, he couldn't be hard on these people, and if he was soft, they couldn't understand human words. They were all illiterate legal blind people, and talking to them was really like a chicken talking to a duck.

He could only comfort them first: "Everyone wait patiently, or go to a cool corner or under a tree or under the eaves to stand or sit. With so many of you, one word from you and one word from me, I don't know who to talk to, you all say it so miserably."

"Just now, I already asked people to find the village committees of your respective villages. Your village committees should know your respective situations best. After people come, everyone can communicate well."

"Then how long to wait..."

"Wait patiently, with so many of you..."

"Then you promise us, help us, isn't that enough? Why look for the village committee?"

Ye Yaodong said half-jokingly and half-mockingly: "This female comrade, the Public Security Bureau is not opened by my family, and it is a cross-provincial Public Security Bureau. Do you think I look like an official? Have you heard people say I am an official?"

"I am a fisherman, you know? Wait patiently, wait for your village cadres to come, and then we will talk to the village cadres of your respective villages. It is useless for you to force me to promise to help here. I know you are anxious, but please don't be so anxious. It has been ten days and half a month, what is a few hours? You have to give us time to discuss, right? If you don't believe me, you have to believe your village cadres. They are definitely thinking for you. With them coming to discuss together, don't you feel more at ease?"

The village head also shouted there: "Everyone calm down, crying and kneeling is useless. Wait for your village cadres to come, discuss together, we are also waiting here with everyone. If you don't believe us, don't you believe your own village cadres?"

Those people thought that they were calling their own village cadres, after all, it was a big thing with so many people executed and jailed, and having their own village cadres help and talk, it looked more reliable.

After discussing for a while, everyone patiently found a cool place to sit down and wait first.

Early in the morning, the sun was not big, there were some places on the side of the road that had not been exposed to the sun, and after sitting in the cool place, everyone had expectations, and the original excited emotions temporarily calmed down, and they didn't kneel and cry anymore.

A-Guang frowned and asked: "Did anyone go to find the village cadres of their respective villages just now?"

"Went, I saw some of the fishermen from the town I brought back, and some others, just now several have already walked out, probably ran to find the village cadres of the villages where these people are. The foot speed shouldn't be that fast, I reckon it will take several villages, and it will take two hours to go back and forth, wait slowly."

"Then wait together, so many people, so many eyes are staring at you, now they are afraid you will run."

"The monk can run, but the temple can't, sigh."

Ye Yaodong squatted in a cool corner.

Basically the whole village came, heard the farce early in the morning and all ran out, even if they were slower, they were all watching at this time.

Relatives and friends were all around him, condemning those people, knowing that killing people is definitely not something that can be released in a few words. These people were clearly desperate, taking him as a life-saving straw, running over to embarrass him, and by the way, asking 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."

"Fine, fine, fine. We only just heard about the situation yesterday, and this morning we saw them all come over to beg for help, thinking there might be some result..."

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."
