Chapter 1310: Confession (Written wrong, corrected)

Ye Yaodong put the gold bracelet and gold ring on her again, and she was so happy her mouth couldn't close.

"You gave it all to me, you child, you don't have anything yourself."

"I have plenty of things, that money all over the floor is all mine."

"Right, right, right, it's all yours, you earned it all, you've grown up. At my age, with one foot in the grave, I didn't expect to still be able to enjoy your blessings."

"Your good days are still ahead, this is nothing."

"Good, good, good..."

The old lady was delighted by his coaxing.

Lin Xiuqing touched the gold necklace, bracelet, and ring given to her, unable to put them down, saying, "You bought so much, I don't know when I'll be able to wear them out."

"If you want to wear them, you can wear them out tomorrow."

"Forget it, anyway, after giving them to Dad and Mom tomorrow, the whole village will know our family is wearing gold and silver... Oh, right, these are all for Dad, why didn't you give them when you bought them, why are they still here?"

*Cough*, the main topic is here.

When he came back, he hadn't mentioned a word about buying a boat or the loan. Isn't it because his father wasn't there?

Wait until tomorrow to talk about it.

"When I bought them, he wasn't with me. I bought them in batches, and I didn't tell him there was a share for him. He doesn't know, I plan to give him a surprise tomorrow."

"It's indeed quite a surprise, you scared me, buying so much." Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully.

"Before I left, I said, if you were going to have gold made for Huimei's twins, you should have some made for yourselves too. Did you listen? You didn't take it to heart at all. Since you were reluctant, I bought them for you. It just so happens I earned money, so I had to buy something to bring home."

"Only you know how to spend money. Next time, you are absolutely not allowed to buy like this again. How many thousands did these cost? Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. That's two storefronts, right?"

"Alright, put them away first. When they come over tomorrow, I'll give them to them. Put the money on the floor away too. It's so late today, count it tomorrow."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Right, right, let's talk about anything tomorrow. It's already very late today, we've been talking for a long time, and Dongzi is tired too. Hurry back to the room to rest, talk carefully after you wake up."

"Then you put this gold away first, I'll put the money on the floor away first. You're throwing it around like this, how do you expect me to put it away..."

Ye Yaodong picked up the sack from the side and handed it to her, while he picked up the mattress from the floor, aiming at the mouth of the sack.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't pour it, the noise will be so loud."

He pricked up his ears and listened. It seemed there really was no sound around anymore. Everyone had probably finished talking and gone to sleep, or returned to their rooms to talk slowly as couples.

He changed his plan and stuffed the mattress directly into the sack, and only when it reached the bottom did he *whoosh* pour everything in, shaking the mattress as he pulled it out.

"Done, tie it with a rope and put it in the room, you can count it slowly tomorrow."

"Men are just men, doing things so roughly, using a sack to hold so much money."

"Others don't even have the chance to use a sack to hold money. Don't you feel good thinking about it? Your husband brought money back in a sack for you."

Lin Xiuqing was amused by him, "Then I'll take it back to the room first, you put the gold away too."

"Okay."

The old lady smiled, touching the necklace pendant, then her wrist, then her fingers, "I'll wear it like this to worship Guanyin in a while, and wear it like this to worship Mazu tomorrow."

"Must! Make Guanyin and Mazu envy you too."

"Nonsense! Can't make jokes about immortals, hurry to sleep. You've been driving the boat all day, and talked for so long after coming back at night, hurry to sleep first, talk about anything after you wake up tomorrow."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong put the gold on the table into the room, then locked it in the drawer for Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing asked him again, "There's stuff all over the courtyard outside, is there anything valuable that needs to be brought in?"

"No, the most valuable things have all been brought in."

"Then I'll go out and turn off the lights, you change your clothes, I'll wash them together early tomorrow morning."

"Bring a basin of hot water in for me."

"Didn't you wash your feet?"

"I haven't washed my 'little brother' yet, there were too many people just now."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him with a smile, "Indecent, just came back in the middle of the night, aren't you tired."

"Not tired, I'm full of strength as soon as I get home."

"You'd better coax your daughter to sleep first."

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at the little person on the bed, who was still sitting there counting coins.

Ye Xiaoxi also heard that she seemed to be called, and turned her head to look at the couple blankly, "Ah?"

"Don't 'ah', hurry to sleep."

"No, I want to count money," she stared blankly ahead, "Oh, 7... 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3..."

She recited numbers, constantly fiddling with the coins on the bed.

Ye Yaodong listened to her count while taking off his clothes, but no matter how she counted, she could only count to 10.

When he had taken off all his clothes, changed into a new set of thermal underwear, and climbed onto the bed, he shouted at her, "The big bad wolf is coming."

"*Awoo! *"

Ye Xiaoxi turned her head and howled, then pounced on him, "I'm the big bad wolf, I'll bite you to death, bite you to death."

Ye Yaodong smiled and hugged her, then took off her clothes, "Time to sleep, stop counting, talk about it tomorrow."

"But I want to play with toys tomorrow, I can't count."

"Then put them in your piggy bank, they're all yours anyway, count them after you've played enough with your toys."

She thought about it and felt it was right, immediately climbed off the bed to the table to get her piggy bank, and then stuffed the coins into the piggy bank one by one.

"If I don't count money, can I play with toys?"

"Your mother put them away, you can only play tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxi hugged the piggy bank and got angry, "Not letting me count money, not letting me play with toys... I won't give you 100 points anymore, failing grade... You're failing grade just like Brother Chenghe, I want to hit, hit."

"You sleep early, if you sleep, you can get up early tomorrow to play with toys, and you can take your toys out to show other little friends, let them envy you to death. If you sleep late now, you'll get up late tomorrow, and can only watch your brothers show off."

"I'll sleep right away."

She immediately burrowed into the quilt, pulling the quilt over her head.

Ye Yaodong also lay down beside her, smelling the familiar scent, and his whole body relaxed.

He reached out and patted the bulging quilt behind him, intending to coax the child to sleep early. It was too late now, it was already 2 o'clock.

They arrived home at 12 o'clock, which was just enough time to eat noodles and say a few words, but he didn't expect it to be 2 o'clock already. In another three hours, it would be dawn.

He was thinking that he didn't need to get up early tomorrow anyway. Although there was a lot of cargo, there were many people, so moving it would be fast.

At this time, Ye Xiaoxi burrowed out of the quilt again, then lay on his shoulder, hugging his neck.

"Daddy, don't go."

Ye Yaodong turned on his side, hugging her, "Don't want me to go out and earn money?"

"Mm, you earn money at home, don't go outside, I can't see you at all."

He rubbed her hair that was sticking up everywhere, "Got it, sleep quickly."

She rubbed against his shoulder, and then closed her eyes.

Ye Yaodong also closed his eyes with her.

Lin Xiuqing brought in hot water and saw the father and daughter hugging each other, seemingly both asleep.

She put the water on the table, wrung out a towel, and wiped his face for him.

Ye Yaodong opened his eyes again, "The lights are all turned off."

"Mm, sleep, I'll take the water and dirty clothes out."

"Mm."

When Lin Xiuqing returned to the room, turned off the lights, took off her clothes, and lay down, Ye Yaodong said again: "The workers' wages are only calculated up to the 31st, the wages from the 1st to tomorrow... no... to today haven't been given yet, you calculate them when you get up tomorrow."

"Including Dad, there are 22 people in total, plus the twins, you make up a portion of their wages for the past half year, calculate them together tomorrow."

"Wait until tomorrow when the boatload of cargo is unloaded, then clear all their accounts."

Lin Xiuqing agreed, "Okay, where did you put the account book?"

Ye Yaodong woke up instantly. The account book recorded his income and expenses for these past few months.

The 100,000 yuan cargo boat, the 20,000+ yuan modification fee, and the 200,000 yuan loan, he had all recorded them on it, even the dates and what they were for, all written clearly.

And the total income for the half year he was away was over 400,000, he had also listed the total on the account book...

Worried that she would see it as soon as he got home, without a chance to explain, he had specifically put it in the zipper compartment of the password box, planning to talk about it after giving her a heads-up.

He planned to have a good talk with her, and also felt she could understand.

But now, in the middle of the night, it wasn't the time to talk. He still had important things to do. If they really started talking, they wouldn't need to sleep.

However, looking at her reaction to the 200,000 yuan at night, she was probably quite satisfied, right?

The extra money was an unexpected surprise, so she probably wouldn't be overly excited about the boat... right?

He pretended to be indifferent and said: "I put the account book in the zipper layer of the password box. Don't worry about calculating the accounts tomorrow, you should prepare the workers' wages first tomorrow, and count that sack of money clearly first."

"Mm, I know, I'll remember. You hurry to sleep, you're exhausted. You've been outside for half a year, you must have eaten poorly and slept poorly. Let's slaughter a sheep tomorrow, it's been raised for a year, it can be eaten."

"No need, wait until the New Year to slaughter it. Even if we slaughter it now, we can't finish eating it. Slaughtering it during the New Year is just right to eat for a few days. Just slaughter a chicken or a duck tomorrow."

While talking, he had already lifted his leg over, and his hand reached over, probing inside from the hem of her clothes.

Lin Xiuqing followed his playing, "That's okay too."

Ye Yaodong bit her ear, "Did you miss me?"

"We're an old married couple, saying this..."

"Old married couple still needs to say nice things, did you miss me, hmm?"

"Missed, I was hoping you'd come back every day, but I didn't expect you to go for half a year, it worried me to death."

"Worried to death? Don't worry, I'm coming right away."

"What are you saying... I didn't mean this kind of worry..."

"Okay, you're not worried, I am? I'm worried to death, I've been overflowing every day."

"You haven't washed, how many days have you not taken a bath..."

"Four or five days, you just washed my face, you didn't think about washing my 'down there' too."

"Didn't I think you were sleeping?"

"That doesn't matter, I'm worried to death..."

Lin Xiuqing patted his shoulder, "Are you that impatient?"

"Half a year, a whole half year, if I'm not impatient, you should be suspicious. Come, come, hurry and let me verify it for you, I've saved it for half a year, it's all essence, I'll give it all to you in a while."

"What kind of talk is that..."

"Dirty talk."

"Aren't you tired, so impatient just after coming back... hmm～"

"Tired is tired, but I'm impatient. My stomach was fed just now, but down there isn't full, eat a bite at night first. Otherwise, I'll be overflowing again when I wake up tomorrow, it's too wasteful, it's all essence, don't waste it, give it all to you."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't speak anymore.

Ye Yaodong was still saying: "I'm good to you, right? I saved it all for you, not giving it to others, all for you..."

She pinched him.

The couple was busy, and couldn't care about talking anymore.

Ye Yaodong only felt comfortable after contributing all the essence, and his whole body pressed down heavily.

Lin Xiuqing held her breath.

"Ah, so heavy, don't press on my chest, it hurts."

He smiled and rubbed it twice, "It won't hurt after rubbing, do you want me to blow on it?"

"Stop messing around, hurry to sleep when you're done, it's very late, don't you have to unload cargo tomorrow?"

"Mm, no need to rush, I told the others, just go unload at eight or nine o'clock."

"Then I'll call you when the time comes."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong turned over and lay on the side, waiting for Lin Xiuqing to finish cleaning up and come over to wipe him.

He closed his eyes and slept first.

After finishing a round, his body and mind were relaxed, and it was easier to sleep.

He fell asleep in seconds.

The next morning, he was woken up by the noise of the children.

Not having slept enough, he pulled the quilt high over his head, but the soundproofing was poor, and he still heard the children excitedly chattering, all talking about their toys.

He lingered for a while, but the sound outside didn't stop or weaken at all. Instead, he heard the voices of his father and mother, so he had to get up.

There were still important things to do.

When he got dressed and went out, he heard Lin Xiuqing's puzzled voice, "What? What 5 boats? Didn't you say it was a 100,000 yuan cargo boat on the phone before?"

Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at his father.

Ye's father also turned to look at him, looking a bit clueless.

Ye's mother also looked at him, "You didn't tell A-Qing that you also ordered 5 boats?"

Oh no!

His father is the one who ruined it!

Deserves to be scolded!

Should be scolded!

Lin Xiuqing turned to look at him, her eyes full of confusion, "What 5 boats? Besides that 100,000 yuan boat, where did 5 more boats come from?"

Ye Yaodong glared at his father and said calmly, "I came back too late yesterday, and there was a pile of things to distribute, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"I didn't just earn that sack of money. Besides the money I brought back and buying a super big 44-meter boat up there, I also ordered 5 boats."

Lin Xiuqing felt her head buzzing. That cargo boat cost 100,000 yuan; she heard about it on the phone a few months ago and hadn't even asked him about it yet, and now 5 more suddenly popped out!

"How many more things are you hiding from me?"

"No, no, that's it..."

She asked calmly, "How much did it cost?"

"It didn't cost money!"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him.

"This really didn't cost money!"

"Nothing costs money, who would give it to you for free? I haven't even settled the account with you for that 100,000 yuan cargo boat before, what kind of boat costs 100,000? And now you suddenly have five more boats! You're deliberately not telling me, not saying anything."

"No, I didn't mean to hide it. What was it like when I came back last night, don't you know? The children were surrounding me, and I was thinking about taking out the gifts to make you happy first. Later, when we went back to the room to sleep, didn't we not have a chance to talk? I was too tired."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily.

"Alright, don't be angry. I didn't take money to do anything else. Buying a boat is a good thing; once bought, we can earn big money relying on this boat. I have a sense of proportion, what should be spent and what shouldn't."

"Then you don't need to tell me when you come back? Spending over 100,000 to buy a boat, and buying so many, you don't need to tell me when you come back?"

"I planned to tell you after I woke up. I was too tired yesterday. My father wasn't tired at all, so he could talk. Before coming back, I was running around in Wenzhou handling things, not stopping for a moment, while he was just sitting at home."

Ye's father retorted, "Who said that, I..."

The old lady hit him on the leg with a cane, "You what you, you talk too much. You said everything, what was Dongzi supposed to say? Look at how you messed up the couple, you have too many things, you talk too much, there was nothing wrong originally."

Ye's mother also glared at him, "If you can't talk, don't talk."

"How would I know he didn't explain when he came back last night, I thought he explained."

Ye Yaodong also glared at his father, "I was exhausted, after dealing with the three children at home, I had to take care of the old ones, and coax my wife, where would I have time to explain the things up there in detail? I planned to talk about it slowly today."

Lin Xiuqing was sulking.

"Then you don't need to tell me? Dad knew to talk the first time he got home, but you hid it and didn't say..."

Ye's mother rarely helped speak, "A-Qing, Dongzi is so capable now, he must know whether the boat is worth buying or not. Don't be angry, it's not like he didn't bring money back."

"I'm angry that he didn't say a word, didn't think about telling me when he came back."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father who ruined things, and didn't know what he had said?

"Didn't you also not mention the 100,000 yuan boat? You couldn't have forgotten, right? Look, you didn't mention it either, so you must not have had time to ask in detail."

"It's the same for me, I just didn't have time to say it before my father poked it out. I originally planned to tell you after I woke up."

"Last night, I also drove the modified cargo boat back and parked it at the deep-water port in the town. I'll drive it in for you to see in a while."

The old lady hit him with the cane again upon hearing this, making Ye's father blow his beard and stare.

This cane was bought just to hit him, not to walk with.

"You say a fart, how long have those 5 boats been reserved? You didn't make a sound on the phone, and it didn't spread in the village, and the other workers didn't mention it. Did you deliberately tell people not to mention it?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "It couldn't be explained clearly on the phone. Saying it would only make you guys worry, so I planned to tell you when I came back."

"You have a reason for everything."

"There's nothing to be angry about, it's not like I came back empty-handed. Isn't it just buying five more boats? That's a good thing. You accepted the 100,000 yuan boat, so what's the difference with those 5?"

"I had no choice but to accept."

It wasn't that she couldn't accept it; there were already so many boats at home. It was just that associating it with the 100,000 yuan boat that he did first and reported later, and then 5 more boats popped out that he didn't even mention, she was stunned.

Ye's father also helped speak, "It was just that the 100,000+ yuan boat cost a bit too much, the 5 boats ordered later didn't cost money."

"How could it not cost money?"

Lin Xiuqing hadn't noticed the issue of it not costing money, only thinking that reserving 5 boats must have required a deposit, but how could this be called not costing money?

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father.

Ye's father also looked at him.

The father and son looked at each other silently.

Ye Yaodong didn't seem to have any telepathy with his father. From his father's eyes, he couldn't tell if his father had told his mother about the loan.

He wasn't sure if his father only said he ordered 5 boats, saying half and leaving half, without mentioning the loan?

Lin Xiuqing looked at his expression and eyes, and also looked at Ye's father, instantly understanding that there was more.

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at her again, and seeing her suspicious eyes, he immediately confessed.

"Yes, there is one more thing I haven't told you, it's also a big thing, actually this is the same thing as buying the boat."

"If I don't ask, are you going to hide it again?"

"That's impossible, you have to know about the big things at home. Didn't I say it? I was too tired when I came back yesterday."

He said again: "I came back in the middle of the night, if I talked about it last night, how long would it take? Right? I was so tired last night that I didn't have the energy to talk about these big things."

Lin Xiuqing wanted to hit him. Did he have the energy to do that kind of thing?

"I planned to tell you this morning after I woke up. Who knew that before I could say it, my father poked it out, making it look like I deliberately hid it from you and didn't want you to know."

"This isn't something shameful. Buying a boat is a good thing, what do I have to hide?"

Lin Xiuqing looked straight at him, "Get to the point, what is the other thing? How can those 5 boats not cost money? What kind of boats are they?"

Ye's mother didn't know what else hadn't been said either. She looked at Ye's father.

Ye's father was afraid he would have to take the blame again, so he hurriedly said: "You let Dongzi say it, it's the good thing he did, let him tell you, don't ask me, it has nothing to do with me."

Ye's mother looked at Ye Yaodong, "You wouldn't have found a mistress outside, would you?"

"Crazy, nonsense."

After Ye Yaodong finished glaring at his mother who was adding to the chaos, he looked at A-Qing, "Come here, did I mention the account book to you last night? Did you see the account book?"

"What does the account book have to do with it?"

"I didn't plan to hide it from you at all. I even told you where the account book was yesterday. Everything is written clearly in the account book."

"I put it away and left it on the table first, thinking about asking you later after you woke up, and went to deal with the stuff you brought back in the courtyard last night first."

"Go get it, I'll tell you."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and honestly went into the room to get the account book.

When she walked out flipping through it, her eyes widened.

Ye Yaodong walked up and snatched the account book from her, "See it clearly now? I didn't plan to hide it from you at all, otherwise, would I have told you about the account book?"

"Loan of tw... twenty thousand!" Lin Xiuqing couldn't believe it.

This was even harder to accept than him buying a 100,000 yuan boat and reserving 5 more.

Spending over 100,000, at least there was something to see, and it was an imported boat.

This 200,000 yuan loan... what is it? How dare he?

So the 200,000 brought back yesterday was directly offset by the loan?

And only a fraction was left?

Ye's mother was also stunned and walked up quickly, "What loan of 200,000!"

The old lady was also at a loss for a moment.

Ye's father looked at the room full of shocked people and hurriedly helped his son explain, "Don't be scared, this is what the bank begged Dongzi to borrow, no interest, just pay the money back after three years."

The three women, old and young, in the room all glared at Ye's father.

"Don't look at me... Dongzi, explain to them, I... I can't explain this clearly either, he knows best."

The old lady stood beside Ye's father, and with a cane strike to the right, "You hurry and explain it clearly to me, what loan of 200,000? Old thing, saying half and leaving half, you're going to scare people to death."

"It has nothing to do with me..."

"You old guy, was it your idea? You've been by his side, you don't even know how to watch him..."

"Don't be excited! I'll explain this 200,000 yuan loan to you, and why those five boats didn't cost money." Ye Yaodong hurriedly spoke up.

This hurdle had to be passed, so it was just right to talk about it directly.

It was all his father's fault, otherwise, he could have waited until after eating to chat with A-Qing first. As long as A-Qing knew and understood, there would be no problem at all.

But his father, this rat dropping, disrupted his plan, causing this three-hall trial now.

Originally, he just needed to explain carefully.

Ye Yaodong analyzed the ins and outs of this 200,000 yuan, as well as its use, for them.

"This is a welfare policy given by the state, equivalent to start-up capital. Anyway, as long as it's paid back within the three-year deadline."

"This is also equivalent to getting five boats for free, that's why I said it didn't cost money. Isn't that not costing money? Think about it, your man, I, can earn hundreds of thousands in half a year, so what is a mere 200,000 yuan loan?"

"With 5 more big boats, and one is 40 meters, don't talk about three years, I don't even need a year, I can earn back the 200,000 yuan principal relying on those 5 boats. Isn't this empty-handed white wolf?"

"In the past, it was always spending money first before earning. For example, the 100,000+ yuan boat I just bought, that was really spending blood capital, and only then could I go earn. This 200,000 yuan loan is clearly the state sending me money, letting me use it as capital to earn. I didn't spend my own money, why not take it, right?"

"Do you think what I said makes sense? I have the ability to pay it back, so this 200,000 yuan loan thing is not a thing at all."

Lin Xiuqing's blood pressure, which had risen because of the loan, calmed down a little after his explanation.

"Are you that sure?"

"Isn't that sack of money yesterday fake? You just saw the account book, you know how much money I've earned in the past half year, what is there to doubt? In three years, with those 5 boats, I can earn even more."

Ye's mother's breath also weakened, muttering, "But this reputation is not good to hear, our family is not short of money, why borrow 200,000 from the state? This would scare people to death if said out loud. Ordinary families can't even take out 2,000 yuan, and you borrowed 200,000..."

"This just happens to show my ability! Who dares to borrow 200,000 from the state? A bunch of people wouldn't dare to take the money even if it was held in front of them, but I dare."

"You have the guts of a bear."

"Just tell me if my plan makes sense? Is it empty-handed white wolf? Eat as much as you can handle, I can handle it, so what is there to worry about? Taking 200,000 to buy 5 boats, those boats are free, you don't need to worry."

Lin Xiuqing sighed heavily.

If he had told her in advance, she might not have been so excited. Just now, hearing Ye's father talk about 5 boats, she was only surprised. This sudden 200,000 yuan loan almost scared her to death.

"You really are something, one thing after another, your heart is really big."

"200,000... I wouldn't even dare to think about it. If I knew you dared to borrow 200,000 from the state, I would definitely have stopped you. We have enough money, it's not necessary..."

"Then if I asked you to take out 200,000 to buy a boat, would you be willing?" Ye Yaodong asked back.

Lin Xiuqing didn't make a sound.

"Isn't that it? If I asked you to take out 200,000 to buy 5 boats, you'd be reluctant. Now you don't have to take out money, the state gave money, don't take it for free? Mainly, there's no interest, and we can afford to pay it back, isn't that it?"

Ye Yaodong put his arm around her shoulder, "Alright, I've explained it all to you. I didn't do anything bad, it was all thought through. Don't worry, believe in me, I'm very capable."

Lin Xiuqing exhaled, not wanting to make a sound.

"Ah! Right, I also bought a piece of land..."

Lin Xiuqing's heart rose again instantly. ===== CHAPTER 1311 =====
