Chapter 1220: Such deep scheming

The village chief looked at his troubled expression and said with a smile, "It was never that simple to begin with, otherwise why would they say it's an honor to join the Party? You must have made certain contributions to society and the local area, and be someone with high ideological awareness, before you can apply to join."

"How about it? Do you have time to participate in political study and submit ideological reports? If you think you can manage it, we'll get you an application form to fill out, and we'll notify you later to participate in various studies."

After Chen Shuji finished speaking, he added earnestly, "I think you should apply. It's better to join the Party. Like you said, it's an honor, and now that the whole village knows you've been hired as a vice president, having a Party member status will also be beneficial to you."

Ye Yaodong felt that what they said was very clear and made a lot of sense.

Not to mention anyone else, even the criminal notices broadcast on TV required the expulsion of Party membership first; he felt that the status of a Party member was quite high-class.

Even for sentencing, one had to be specially expelled from the Party first—it was an extra layer of procedure.

Of course, he certainly wasn't aiming for the opportunity to be expelled from the Party.

With the status of a Party member, President Ye's back could probably stand a little straighter too.

Although he didn't feel worthy, Ye Yaodong still reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, then I'll listen to you. Get me an application form to fill out. Tell me in advance when the organization notifies you about political study, and I'll make time. Anyway, with my father here, I'll just let him take the boat out when the time comes."

He was so eager to make progress that he could only sacrifice his father.

While his father was still young, he should just let him do a bit more work.

Anyway, when he gets old, there will be plenty of time to rest.

"Good."

Ye Yaodong followed them into the house, filled out the application form for a long time under their guidance, and then was given a crash course on the process of joining the Party.

Listening from beginning to end, he finally understood: it wasn't that easy to become a Party member. Just going from a probationary member to a full member took at least one year, and those who didn't perform well would have their term extended.

There weren't many in their village.

After filling out the application form, he lingered in the village for a while, sat and chatted with a few old men, soaked up the sun, and learned about the kelp situation before rushing home for a meal at dinnertime.

Lin Xiuqing heard him whistling as he returned, looking to be in a very good mood, and asked, "Did you join the Party?"

"You think it's that easy?"

"They didn't let you in?"

"What a joke. I'm someone who has made contributions—to the village, to the city, to the organization, and to society. Although I don't have any great merits, I have been commended and appeared in the newspaper a few times. Filling out an application form is a sure thing."

"Then didn't you get in?"

"I told you, you don't understand anything..."

Ye Yaodong showed off what he had heard to her.

Lin Xiuqing listened with a serious face, "That really doesn't seem easy, does it? If you get in, wouldn't there be many benefits?"

"Probably? Forget it, let's just get in first. At the very least, it will match President Ye's status."

"Look at how smug you are, just like Ye Chenghu."

"Hehehe... give me money later. After the meal, I'll go to town to see if there's any good tea to buy."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong didn't stop for a moment after returning, busy running around everywhere.

When he went to buy tea in the afternoon, he passed by the entrance of the Fatty's shop and went in to notify him that they would go to the city together tomorrow.

Then, after arriving in the city the next day, he dumped the Fatty at the market and told him to walk around a few times first. He took the appointment letter to the address above to sign in, leave his personal contact information, pay the membership fee, and submit a one-inch photo... he was already familiar with the process.

After finalizing the title of Vice President of the City Fisheries Association, he went to the street to find someone to carve a private seal.

He didn't just carve one for himself; he also carved one for Lin Xiuqing, and by the way, one for his father and mother as well. Since he had to carve them anyway, he might as well carve a few more so everyone in the family had one.

Not to mention anything else, if he gave his father and mother a private seal each, they would probably be very happy, and it would be very high-class.

In the future, if they encountered anything that required a signature, they could just take out the private seal and stamp it.

However, he couldn't take so many at once. He paid a portion of the money and arranged to pick them up the next day, then returned to the market.

The Fatty had already decided on the location he wanted, but he still wanted to see the business situation of other shops at night, so he planned to stay overnight.

Of course, he also made a phone call to notify the two shops next to Ye Yaodong's, saying he wanted to rent them and asking the owners to come over the next day to discuss the price.

So there was no need to go back that day.

Ye Yaodong also had to pick up the private seals the next day and had to visit Chen Juzhang's house, so he also stayed at his brother-in-law's house for one night.

Early the next morning, the Fatty efficiently settled the matter of renting the shops.

The landlords of the other two shops were overjoyed to hear that someone wanted to rent them; they had been sitting on them for two years, so who wouldn't be happy to finally rent them out?

Even the shop belonging to his second brother hadn't been rented out yet.

Everything was calculated based on the rent of the surrounding shops.

Ye Yaodong didn't haggle over the rent with them; if he decided he wanted them, he would rent them.

The Fatty, of course, treated everyone equally, paying the same rent as everyone else.

However, he didn't bring much money when he came, so the rent was all advanced by Ye Yaodong, who got it from Lin Fu.

After settling the Fatty's affairs, he had Wang Jianxin come over to be responsible for the Fatty's other trivial matters, such as hiring people to open up the shops or where to buy things, directly having Wang Jianxin ride his bicycle to take him around the city.

This was where the benefit of having a local came in; he didn't have to ask people everywhere.

The Fatty also guaranteed that he wouldn't break the bicycle, and if he did, he would pay for it; only then was Wang Jianxin willing to ride and take him.

In this day and age, it was truly not easy to grow into a fatty; if you wanted to find the Fatty, you'd probably have to look in the kitchen. It was normal to be protective of the bicycle.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already almost noon, and only then did Ye Yaodong go to attend to his own business.

By mid-afternoon, when he had finished his work and returned, the Fatty still hadn't come back; he didn't see him until it was dark.

He could only call home again to inform his family that because of the damn Fatty, he had to stay one more night.

At night, the two of them still had to continue being tied together to sleep.

Ye Yaodong felt depressed looking at the big lump of meat beside him. He had a perfectly good wife he couldn't sleep with, and instead, he was sleeping with an oily fatty. Just thinking about it made him angry.

"Move over a bit, don't touch me. Two grown men sleeping this close, isn't it a joke?"

"It's not like we haven't slept together before. It's warmer when two people are together. You move over a bit, there's such a big hole in the middle, it's drafty."

"You damn pervert."

There were two floors in total. Because the footprint was a bit large, there were 3 rooms upstairs, and downstairs, besides the hall and kitchen, there were 2 rooms.

Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and Lin Xiangyang slept in the two rooms downstairs. Upstairs, the three Lin siblings originally occupied two rooms, and Lin Xiang Hui and his wife occupied one.

Because of the two of them, the three siblings cleared out one room, but there were no extra quilts.

Ye Yaodong had already felt miserable sleeping with him for one night yesterday; he didn't expect to have to sleep another night.

"What am I perverted about? Where is your mind? You're the damn pervert. Go, go, stay away from me, move inside a bit."

"Damn it, you've taken up most of the bed, have some shame. You want me to move inside? You move outside. With such a big build, even if half a tire is exposed, you won't fall off, what are you afraid of?"

The Fatty pulled the quilt tight and didn't speak, just kept pushing him with his butt, forcing him into the innermost corner.

Ye Yaodong was almost vomiting blood from anger; he tried kicking, but couldn't move that big lump of butt meat.

"Damn, I'm going to be squeezed into internal injuries by you. Do you know whose house this is? I'll throw you out in a minute."

"Sure, as long as you can lift me."

"Damn, look at how fat you've become again. You just lost weight before and now you've bounced back."

The Fatty fiercely pushed with his butt again, and even rubbed against him with his butt, squeezing him until he could only stick to the bed board behind him.

"Don't mention the fact that I lost weight before. I've only had a few good days, it's only right that I've gained weight."

Ye Yaodong was squeezed until he was grimacing, his facial features distorted. He had just cursed a few times, and before anything else happened, the Fatty immediately moved to the very edge of the bed like a spring, clutched the quilt, and cursed loudly.

"You motherf*cker, you can even get hard from this, you damn pervert."

"Your mother, who's the pervert who kept pushing me with your butt? It's disgusting, get lost." Ye Yaodong said, shivering.

Thinking about how this damn Fatty had been pushing him with his big butt and squeezing him into the corner, he wanted to vomit.

"You're the disgusting one, you can even get a reaction from a grown man."

Ye Yaodong dug into the hidden pocket in his pants, "Your mother, take a look at what's in my pants? This big wad of cash is stuffed inside, can I not be hard? Damn, you're really filthy, your brain is filled with yellow feces."

The Fatty breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing the wad of cash he took out.

"I was wondering why you were so perverted, getting a reaction from me. It scared me into hiding to the side, and I was worried about suffering tonight."

"Get lost, I'd rather mount a sow than mount you!"

"I was wondering why you looked so bulging, it turns out it was all fake. Such deep scheming!"

"You're the fake one, if I took it out, it would definitely be bigger than yours. You damn pervert, you actually paid attention to whether mine was big or not. Go, go, you switch ends and sleep."

The Fatty was really worried that he was too perverted and would threaten him. Who knew if he was really aroused and didn't dare to say it? It's better to be safe than sorry.

He immediately moved to the other side, and suddenly felt a sense of security.

Both of them were wary of each other being a pervert. After lying on opposite ends, they even turned their backs to each other and slept butt-to-butt.

But they couldn't stay quiet for long before they continued to collide, neither willing to yield.

In the end, the frail Ye Yaodong had to surrender, ceding territory and paying reparations, moving inward a bit, before they could sleep peacefully.

After all, with such a big build, and having spent years flipping a wok and helping his father-in-law press pigs, he had plenty of strength in his hands; he really couldn't resist.

However, he also secretly swore in his heart that he would never sleep with a man again in his life. It was truly disgusting!!

He actually stared at his crotch! Pervert!

Ye Yaodong forgot that it was he who stuffed the money into his crotch to hide it, which triggered the other person's surprised gaze.

Waking up early the next morning, the two of them forgot about the friction from last night. They both tacitly stayed in bed, and didn't get up until the sun was high and the clothes in the quilt were warm.

As soon as Ye Yaodong got out of bed, he felt that the Fatty's gaze was a bit off.

He covered his crotch.

The Fatty said disdainfully, "Such deep scheming!"

Ye Yaodong's face immediately turned black.

"You walk back later."

"Then I'll tell my wife when I get home."

Ye Yaodong cursed a few times and hurriedly put on his clothes and pants.

Seeing that he had the posture of abandoning him, the Fatty hurriedly put on his clothes and pants and followed him out.

"Hey, don't, I was just joking, you can't really leave me here..."

The Fatty shamelessly followed him again. When he was using the crank to start the tractor, he hurriedly climbed up first to occupy a seat, lest he really have to walk back later.

Ye Yaodong didn't have a good face the whole way, and as soon as he returned to the village, he hurriedly kicked him off.

"You have no humanity, President Ye, this is murder..."

"I know, you're afraid that I know your secret... that's why you want to kill me to silence me..."

The villagers on the side of the road asked curiously, "What's wrong? Aren't you friends?"

"Hey, it's all because I know too much..."

"Know what? What's wrong with Adong?"

"Hey, I can't say, who told him to be my brother."

Ye Yaodong didn't hear what he said behind him; the sound of the tractor was too loud, otherwise he would have had to stop and hack him to death with a knife.

Lin Xiuqing saw him driving the tractor back and hurriedly smiled and greeted him, "You're back? Why the long face? What happened?"

"Nothing."

He looked at the group of people busy in the workshop, everything was in order, everyone doing their own jobs. He walked around with his hands in his pockets and then headed home.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he looked like nothing was wrong, so she followed behind him.

"The goods brought back two days ago will probably take another two days to process. I've asked Acai to stop receiving goods for these two days, let's process this batch at home first."

"Hmm."

"I'll go get you something to eat."

"Okay."

Ye Xiaoxi was originally sitting in the courtyard playing with the big rooster in her hand. Seeing Ye Yaodong return, she immediately stood up and pounced on him, hugging his thigh.

"Daddy~ you're back again~"

A smile appeared on Ye Yaodong's face.

But watching the little girl hugging his thigh, her head drilling right through his crotch, he was instantly left speechless.

"Your daddy's legs are too long, or are you just not growing tall? You're already 4 years old, and you're still not as long as my leg."

Ye Xiaoxi drilled her head out and reached out to press on her own head to compare, wanting to see her height. She happened to compare it to his crotch, and she reached out and pinched it.

"What is this?"

Ye Yaodong had his feet spread apart from her drilling, and instantly pulled her to the side, his old face unable to hold it together.

"This is money, Daddy is carrying money."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly took Ye Xiaoxi's hand, lest she be curious about everything.

To prove his innocence and fearing the child would misunderstand, Ye Yaodong reached in and casually took out a banknote to show her.

Ye Xiaoxi grabbed the money and said happily, "Is it for me?"

"Fine, then I'll give it to you."

It was only one yuan.

Just as he thought this, he saw her turn her head and immediately hand the money to Lin Xiuqing.

"Mommy, for you!"

"This girl... robbing the rich to help the poor, but you robbed the wrong person, right? Clearly I'm the one who needs relief."

Lin Xiuqing took the banknote and smiled until her eyes disappeared. She touched her head and gave her a one-cent coin.

"Good girl, go buy some candy."

"Great, Mommy is the best... going to buy candy, going to buy malt candy..."

She happily pinched the coin and ran out bouncing.

"Exchanged a one-yuan note for a one-cent coin, and she's still so happy, this silly child." Ye Yaodong watched her run away excitedly, helpless.

"She doesn't know how much a one-yuan note is, but she knows a one-cent coin can buy a piece of malt candy, haha."

He also started laughing. When he saw the big rooster in the corner of the courtyard, he laughed even more happily.

"What is this..."

Lin Xiuqing followed his gaze and saw the big rooster in the corner covered in little knots, its feathers all tied up with rubber bands. She was also speechless.

"Really bored... finished harming the dog, now coming to harm the chicken."

"Who tied up the big rooster?"

"The old lady said to kill a rooster to nourish you when you returned. Anyway, next month we'll probably have to start hatching chicks again. I didn't know when you'd be back, so before letting it out of the cage this morning, she caught one and tied it up first. If you came back early, we'd kill it early; if you came back late, we'd kill it late."

"It ran away from her, otherwise I could have taken a photo of it for her. When she grows up, I'll show her how annoying she was when she was little, even bullying chickens."

"You take photos of everything."

The old lady was sitting in the courtyard soaking up the sun. She was originally watching Ye Xiaoxi, but now she didn't care about her anymore and said with a smile, "Then we'll kill it later, let you take a photo first."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong went back into the house and took off his clothes and pants first to take out the money on him.

Just as he was about to take out the money from the interlayer of his pants, he saw Lin Xiuqing also looking at his crotch, so he lowered his head to take a look.

He was still wearing long johns, but it still looked obviously bulging, and he was instantly both angry and amused.

"Staring like that, I'll let you take it out."

"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, "Wouldn't it be better if you took it out yourself?"

"Damn, I was laughed at by the Fatty once this morning, and last night too."

"Laughed at you for what?"

Ye Yaodong didn't answer and took out the money hidden in his crotch first.

Even a clever rabbit has three burrows; of course, he hid it everywhere on his body.

"I originally thought the recent turnover of the shop would be used to pay the final payment for those containers, and there wouldn't be any money coming back these days. I didn't expect to sell a batch of lighters yesterday, and a lot of money was credited. My father-in-law asked me to bring it back today."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, but she was still more curious about what the Fatty laughed at him for.

"What did you just say the Fatty laughed at you for?"

"Nothing, the shop matter is also settled. He also rented the other two shops and arranged for people to open them up. Later, I'll just wait for him to send the rent and the borrowed money over."

"Oh, so what did he laugh at you for?"

Ye Yaodong was annoyed; if he had known, he shouldn't have mentioned even half a word.

Lin Xiuqing looked at his appearance and became even more curious.

"What did he laugh at you for?"

"I told you it's nothing, hurry up and count your money."

"Fine."

If he wouldn't say, then she wouldn't ask. She could just ask when the Fatty came over.

The Fatty wasn't one to procrastinate. After returning home, he immediately went to report to his wife in town, and then in the evening, he took the borrowed money and sent it to his house for him.

Ye Yaodong gave the banknotes directly to Lin Xiuqing to count.

"Have you eaten? Want my wife to cook something for you?"

"No need, I ate after 3 o'clock. You know, the time we cooks eat is different from normal people; we have to avoid the peak meal times. I'll just have a late-night snack when I go back later."

"I was just saying that your life has been comfortable these past six months. You lost 20 jin, but came back 40 jin heavier."

"It's not that exaggerated, at most 30 jin heavier."

"Pay attention, being too fat isn't a good thing. If you can lose weight, lose a little."

The Fatty rolled his eyes, "Looking at how you wanted to kill me to silence me today, I thought you were going to break off relations with me, which scared me into rushing over to pay back the money."

"Why break off relations? And why kill to silence?" Lin Xiuqing stopped counting the money halfway and asked curiously.

Ye Yaodong immediately said, "Nothing."

This concerned his male self-esteem.

The Fatty couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Yaodong gave him a warning glance, and he immediately stopped.

"Alright, the money is delivered, you can get lost."

"Fine, I'm leaving now. Your wife hasn't finished counting yet, I won't be responsible if it's short later."

"Get lost quickly."

The Fatty went out happily; he just happened to have to go back early to help.

Lin Xiuqing stared at him with suspicious eyes, "What did you guys do? Is there any unspeakable secret? What did you do in the city these two days?"

"Crazy, what unspeakable secret could we have?"

"Then why didn't you say anything when I asked you? In the afternoon you said you were laughed at by the Fatty, and now the Fatty says you wanted to break off relations and kill to silence."

"Listen to his nonsense. Don't you know the character of these fox friends of mine? There's no such thing, he just has to pull out a shadow, he's just deliberately insulting people for fun."

"So what did he insult you for?"

"Hmph, I'm going to the workshop for a turn, to inspect."

After speaking, he left immediately.

Lin Xiuqing held the money in her hand and looked at his back suspiciously. The less he said, the more she wanted to know.

If he had said it early, or just coaxed her with a few words, she might not have had such great curiosity.

Now she really had to know.

What kind of thing was worth changing the subject several times like this?

She counted the banknotes in her hand first, and after clearing them, she put them away first. She would slowly interrogate him when they went to sleep at night; she wasn't afraid he wouldn't confess.

Ye Yaodong also knew that the more he hid it, the more he couldn't hide it, but he still wanted to struggle to the death; this concerned his male self-esteem.

He wouldn't admit it!

However, when a certain woman was lying on him and making mischief at night, he had no choice but to surrender.

"Are you going to say it or not?"

"Are you going to say it or not?"

"Still being stubborn and holding out?"

"I'll see if your mouth is harder, or if this is harder."

Ye Yaodong was sweating even in the cold weather, and couldn't help but surrender.

"I'll say it, alright? Didn't I hide a portion of the money in my crotch? And then it looked especially bulging, and he was amazed..."

"Hahaha..." Lin Xiuqing couldn't help it, lying on him and laughing until she was shaking, tears almost coming out, unable to stop.

"Amazed, hahahahaha... you're going to laugh me to death..."

Ye Yaodong hugged her helplessly, "And then when I took out a piece of money from inside to show him, his eyes almost fell out..."

She imagined the scene and laughed even more happily, lowering her voice for fear of disturbing the children, giggling and shaking all over.

"And then he cursed me, insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless, too deep scheming!"

"Haha aha... oh, no, I'm laughing to death..."

"What's so funny about this? Where is my scheming deep? Where am I insidious and cunning? I'm just big, I just stuffed some money, it just looked a bit more bulging."

Lin Xiuqing was already laughing so hard she couldn't speak; she had long known about his thick skin.

Ye Yaodong dawdled...

"This dog thing insisted on saying I have deep scheming, too good at pretending, it pissed me off. If he hadn't gotten on the car so fast, I definitely would have made him walk back."

"And then when we entered the village, I stopped and kicked him off, and he said I was murdering, wanted to kill to silence, said he knew too much..."

"Pissed me off, this dog thing, break off relations, don't let him in next time."

He could imagine how the Fatty would arrange him if he met the other few bad friends.

His lifelong reputation was about to be ruined.

He would be talked about by them for a lifetime.

Thinking of that scene, his eyes went dark, feeling that he would never be able to wash away the suspicion of deep scheming in this life, and his little brother was also wilted.

Damn...

Lin Xiuqing's cheeks were already hurting from laughing, but she had to restrain herself and couldn't laugh too loudly.

When she finally managed to stop and wanted to reach out to verify, she touched a dejected lump, and she laughed even more happily.

Ye Yaodong was furious and slapped her butt fiercely.

"Even you want to laugh at me! You clearly know what the facts are! I was just pissed off!"

"Hahaha, I know... haha... pissed off, I know... hmm, no deep scheming... it's not the first time you've stuffed it..."

"F*ck!"

Lin Xiuqing hugged his neck tightly, really having no strength left from laughing, but still kissed him comfortingly.

"It's true, you've always done this, it's not like you deliberately stuffed it for him to see, deliberately pretending in front of him. Is there any need to pretend for a grown man to see? How is this called deep scheming?"

Ye Yaodong felt that what she said made a lot of sense, but also felt that it was getting darker the more it was described.

"You'd better stop talking."

She had finally stopped laughing, but was a bit unable to hold it back again.

Ye Yaodong turned over depressedly and pressed her under his body.

He had to punish her properly, otherwise this woman could reach the sky.

She actually dared to laugh at him, even though it was she who sewed the pocket for him.

"Don't sew a pocket in my underwear for me anymore."

"Hahaha..."

Ye Yaodong reached out to cover her mouth, not letting her make a sound, and punished her properly.

Lin Xiuqing still felt it was very funny until it was over.

No wonder his expression was wrong when he came back at noon, and he wouldn't say anything no matter what, he had to be forced to say it by abnormal means.

Ye Yaodong was annoyed, pulled the quilt over, turned his back to her, and went straight to sleep, out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to stick to him coaxingly, hugging him from behind.

He pretended to be indifferent, closed his eyes, and went straight to sleep.

He didn't give her a good face the next day either, either looking at her sideways, glancing at her, or breathing through his nose, not a single good look.

Lin Xiuqing also patiently kept smiling and leaning towards him, showing concern, picking food for him, serving tea and water.

She also knitted a scarf for him for a day, and coaxed him into wearing it in the evening, only then did he reluctantly give her a good face.

"Alright, not angry anymore, right?"

"Reluctantly forgive you."

"Such deep scheming, still have to coax you like this..."

Ye Yaodong's face turned black, "Are we not going to get past these few words?"

"Hahaha, I won't say it, I won't say it, okay?" ===== CHAPTER 1221 =====
