Chapter 1311: Joy

~24 min read 4,703 words

Ye Yaodong watched her tilt her head and glare at him again, and couldn't help but chuckle embarrassedly.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited, hehe, this is also a good thing. Buying land is a good thing everywhere, a great thing to pick up a bargain. Think about that piece of land in our city, 13 mu, I only spent 10,000 yuan, it's so good now, it's already being utilized and starting to earn money."

Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "Can't you finish talking all at once? One thing after another, my heart goes up and down, sooner or later you'll give me a heart attack."

"No, no."

Ye Yaodong raised his hand, wanting to rub her chest, but seeing so many people, he put it back in his pocket, almost forgetting.

"That area is a port, I bought it near the port. It will definitely be the most prosperous area in the future. There are many outsiders there, at worst, just turn it into a rental area, and it can also make a fortune."

"Such good land, why would the local government sell it to you?"

"Because it hasn't been planned yet, isn't this just starting to develop the economy in the past two years? Starting to develop individuals? Everywhere is broken ruins, it will develop slowly in the future, just like the market in our city. If there are people, who would be afraid of no popularity? There are boats at the port above."

"Everything is what you say."

"Believe me, it's only been a few years, didn't I lead you all to live a good life?"

Lin Xiuqing knew he had changed for the better in the past few years, was much more reliable, and had many ideas, and wouldn't mess around, but his actions were too big, one thing after another, and he did it behind her back.

He didn't take the initiative to say it when he came back, it popped out bit by bit, making her heart go up and down, and she felt uncomfortable.

And it wasn't a small amount of money he spent. Taking out hundreds of thousands, her heart was trembling.

They were just honest and ordinary people. That was hundreds of thousands, and it was borrowed from the bank.

Ordinary families wouldn't even dare to think about taking out 200,000 yuan. Taking out 20 yuan would make them hesitant, taking out 200 yuan would make them ponder and ponder, taking out 2,000 yuan would be like taking the whole family's life, and 20,000 yuan would already be a sky-high price.

200,000... ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about it in their lifetime, and this was still a loan...

Then, after finishing the important things, he said lightly that he bought a piece of land...

That light tone almost made her think he bought a cabbage.

"How much did you buy it for?"

"20,000 yuan."

Lin Xiuqing took a breath and exhaled again, "How big?"

"Three mu two," he said, and immediately explained, "Places are different. The one in our city is in the suburbs, the one above is at the port, it's also cheap."

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said: "Good thing, buying land is a good thing. In the future, if you don't do anything, letting his father farm is also good, and it can support the whole family, no need to worry about food and drink."

Ye's mother said angrily: "You're right, send his father to another province to farm, and bring the vegetables back to support the whole family."

Lin Xiuqing didn't listen to their interruption, "What are you going to do with it?"

"It was bought for a loan before, because it was from out of town, the procedures were complicated..." Ye Yaodong confessed everything to her one by one.

Lin Xiuqing really couldn't help but hold her forehead and hit him twice more.

"Have you finished talking? Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Ye Yaodong said honestly: "No more."

"Really no more?"

"Does it count that my father picked up a big gold ring in the garbage pile of that land?"

"What? Your father also picked up a gold ring?"

Ye's mother immediately looked at Ye's father, "Where is the gold ring? Where is it? Why didn't you say anything when you came back? Guarding against me?"

"I, I didn't have time to say it either..."

Lin Xiuqing heard the couple starting to settle accounts on the side, and glared at Ye Yaodong speechlessly.

The old lady hurriedly pulled Ye Yaodong to lecture him, "Look at you, what you don't learn, you have to learn from your father, saying half and leaving half."

"Important things should be said the first time you get home. If you said it early, wouldn't it be fine? A-Qing would definitely understand, it's already spent, and you earned big money back..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was this for her to hear?

She didn't even look at the old lady and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"No other things, there are some small things, have to talk slowly. Been out for more than half a year, so many things happened, have to talk about them one by one slowly?"

Ye Yaodong finished explaining the big things and wasn't in a hurry anymore. The rest were some small details, unimportant.

He said again: "I originally planned to tell you slowly after I woke up this morning, and sort out the things that happened up there for you. If you listen from beginning to end, you'll know everything."

"But I haven't even gotten up yet, you listened to my father talk early in the morning, but he told half and left half, can this still be blamed on me for not telling?"

"Knowing that this matter couldn't be hidden, I'm already back, is it possible I deliberately hid it from you? Even with my butt, I can think of that."

"Not listening to me, but listening to my father tell half and leave half, that's what makes people angry..."

Ye's father was so angry he was half dead on the side. Can this still be blamed on him for telling half and leaving half?

He didn't know the couple didn't say anything last night.

As for only mentioning buying 5 boats to Ye's mother and not mentioning the loan, it was because he knew he couldn't handle it.

If he had told Ye's mother about the loan directly last night, he wouldn't have to sleep all night either.

Last night he almost fell into Dongzi's big trap, teaching him what... to let his mother say some nice things, and then hand over his wages, almost getting kicked off the bed.

He was also stupid, how could he believe Dongzi's ghost talk.

He had been with his mother for half a lifetime, didn't he know what kind of personality she had? Still wanting to hear nice things from a knife-like mouth...

So he thought about not mentioning the loan first, avoiding the heavy and taking the light, only mentioning buying the boat and buying the land.

Wait until today, then let A-Dong tell his mother, so that he, the old father, wouldn't have to bear the anger, it didn't have anything to do with him originally.

Now it's good, this shit basin can still be buckled on his head, and he's blamed for telling half and leaving half, it didn't have anything to do with him originally.

Ye's mother said angrily: "You father and son are the same, neither is better than the other."

"Right... wait, no..."

Ye's mother hit him, "Right your head."

"Alright, wait until we go back, I'll give it to you."

Ye's mother glanced at him and was satisfied.

Lin Xiuqing heard Ye Yaodong's sophistry and actually felt it made sense. It really didn't seem to be his fault for not telling?

Arrived home after 12 o'clock, both were very tired, just simply handed over the important things to her and slept first, it was too late to say anything...

Thinking about it, she understood, but was still a bit angry and a bit worried.

"Is that 200,000 yuan bank loan really okay? Will someone come to the door and take you away? Saying you owe the bank money?"

"Rest assured, it won't. Catching people also requires evidence. I still have the loan contract, I'll show it to you in a while. There's a time and date on it, just pay it back within the deadline. You don't know my ability to earn money?"

"Earn more, spend more. This is absolutely correct. Putting it two years ago, I wouldn't believe it even if I died, that you could still take 200,000 out of the bank, and spend it all."

"Then two years ago, you wouldn't believe that I could save up so much family property, and have over 20 boats."

The old lady smiled and said: "This shows that when moving, taking a broom to the bank door to sweep has a reason. You really swept the bank's money home."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't be bothered to manage the old lady's bias. Anyway, it wasn't the first day, she ignored it and only looked at Ye Yaodong.

"Otherwise, take the money you brought back yesterday and pay it back to the bank?"

She was a bit worried, how could the state's money be so easy to take? How could it be given for free? Worried there would be something bad, she would rather not take this advantage.

"Are you stupid? Don't take the money delivered to your door? If this 200,000 was put in the bank to earn interest, it would be hundreds of yuan a year. Even if I don't do anything, just save it back in the bank, I could have thousands of yuan in three years. Why not take this free money?"

"I feel a bit uneasy, after all, it's not money that belongs to oneself, and it always has to be paid back. Why not pay it back early? If we have money, let's pay it back?"

"If paid back, can that be called empty-handed white wolf? Doesn't that mean spending one's own money? Then do I still have a need to take a loan?"

"Aren't you saying it's also for buying land, and then releasing the wind, saying the land is mortgaged to the bank, so that if people are not there, no one will occupy it."

"That just happened to be utilized. Anyway, you don't need to worry blindly. If I really need to pay it back, we can just take money from home and pay it back, right? It's not like we can't take it out, no need to be early."

"We haven't owed anyone money in our lifetime, but now we have to owe the state money..."

"This is not owing, this is assistance. The state funds to support individual development, buy me a big boat, develop the economy, prosper the port, and I pay the state back with the money I earn. Each takes what they need, neither loses."

Ye's mother saw that Lin Xiuqing didn't speak anymore and defaulted, so she smiled and said: "Alright, it's fine if it's explained clearly. Don't listen to your father next time, if there's anything unclear, wait for Dongzi to say it."

"Dongzi can earn so much money this year, after having more boats next year, he will definitely be able to earn more. 200,000 is 200,000, he will definitely be able to earn it back next year."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "Mom, you say this a bit easily, this money is not so easy to earn."

Ye's mother was all smiles, "Others are not easy to earn, can he not be easy to earn?"

"You don't know, when I came over just now, how many people on the road envied me, saying I was so good at giving birth, giving birth to three good sons, all earned big money back, all are ten-thousand-yuan households, ah hahahaha... especially Dongzi..."

She felt comfortable when talking about this.

Ye Yaodong listened to his mother babbling, so he went to wash up and eat first.

Anyway, it was already explained clearly, the crisis was lifted, nothing to do with him, he could do whatever he wanted.

"... Now everyone in the village gives a thumbs up when talking about Dongzi, all saying Dongzi leads the whole village to get rich, rushing everywhere, fighting everywhere, hahahaha..."

"They all say, young people are led by Dongzi to earn big money, old people in the village earn money by raising kelp, women earn money by killing fish for him, this is all relying on him..."

"He is now the hope of the whole village, the hope of leading the whole village to get rich. Oh my mother, this ancestral grave really smoked green smoke."

"Wait until I go back and flip through the almanac, pick a day for worship, let your father go up the mountain to worship, can't just worship immortals, also have to worship ancestors, it's all ancestral protection."

Ye's father was originally a bit depressed, but when he heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, looking like he was honored.

"Isn't it all me helping him, otherwise look at whether he can be busy?"

"Then isn't it what you should do to help him? If you don't help your own son, who else do you want?"

"It's just that the eldest and second are honest and don't care, otherwise other families with many brothers would have opinions."

The old lady said: "Doesn't Dongzi pay wages? It's not like letting you work for free, you take more than anyone else. And he bought you gold, he didn't have any himself, didn't even bear to buy for himself, bought for all of you, who is as filial as him."

Ye's father was surprised, hope ignited in his heart, and then extinguished, and he put on a straight face, "It is filial."

He bought for his mother, but didn't buy for him.

He couldn't say this, didn't make a sound.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Right, A-Dong also bought gold for you, just wait a while to take it back, I'll go get it."

You!

Ye's father suddenly felt some anticipation, what A-Qing said was "you".

Ye's mother also looked forward to it, she heard last night that Dongzi bought her gold jewelry, she was still complaining that the old thing didn't bring it back directly.

Getting up early this morning, she wanted to come over after cleaning up the house, but was held back by enthusiastic villagers on the road.

If it weren't for thinking about the gold, she should still be talking to the women in the village now.

She was also the first to come to Dongzi's place, the eldest and second families hadn't gone yet, can't blame her for being biased, who let the third son be too good to the two old people!!

Oh my, didn't expect to be able to wear gold and silver when old?

She woke up laughing even in her dreams last night.

Seeing Ye Yaodong sit down after brushing his teeth and washing his face, Ye's mother smiled and cared, "It's hard outside, darkened a lot, the whole person has lost weight, come back and raise well, let your father slaughter a chicken for you to supplement in a while."

Ye's father said depressedly: "I'm also hard."

"Know, know, you are all hard, then you pick a bigger one to slaughter in a while, Dongzi doesn't like to eat duck, otherwise the duck is bigger, you slaughter chicken, pick a bigger one."

Ye's mother was in an exceptionally good mood now.

Just now was just now, now is now.

Ye's father was full of anticipation now, and didn't care about what Ye's mother said.

Ye Yaodong was laughing all the time. His father, whether in his hometown or at his place; whether in the old lady's mouth or his mother's mouth, was at the bottom of the family status.

Lin Xiuqing went into the room and took out the gold locked up last night, still the same cloth bag, but the weight was lighter.

Now it only contained the two sets of gold for Ye's father and Ye's mother.

Ye's father rubbed his hands back and forth, smiling and asking Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi, did you buy for me too?"

Ye Yaodong teased, "Can't forget you no matter who I forget, my old man is so hard, how can I forget you alone?"

"Who can be without, how can you be without? Must have! And it must be the biggest, thickest, heaviest, and most expensive!"

The smile on Ye's father's face deepened, and he was even happier.

Lin Xiuqing asked curiously: "Dad didn't know he had it? I was just saying why you left so fast last night, still thinking I should have brought it back directly for you."

"It's all this mixed kid's fault, deliberately teasing me, didn't tell me he bought for me too, kept hiding it from me, only saying he bought for all of you. I was still thinking he's heartless, everyone in the family has it, but I don't."

"How could it be? You have always helped him a lot, if he didn't buy for you, I wouldn't agree."

Ye's father was delighted by Lin Xiuqing's coaxing, and looking at the gold poured out of the bag, he was even happier, his mouth couldn't close.

Ye's mother was the same, her eyes were shining, she liked it to death.

Ye Yaodong said: "See, the thickest gold necklace, one can be three or four for my mother, am I good to you?"

"Good, good, good, this is too thick, how expensive must this be, too wasteful, why didn't you wait for me to go together, why buy so thick..."

"Only so thick has face! If not thick, how can it reflect my filial piety to you? However, at most, you can only wear it in the village, don't wear it out..."

"I know, wearing it out will either be robbed or looted, it's dangerous. I also won't wear it and walk in the village, let the neighbors see, let them take a look, and I'll put it away."

Ye's father held the gold necklace and couldn't put it down. Now it was complete, and he didn't feel heartache for the gold ring handed over.

This was bought by Dongzi for him, his mother couldn't take it away!

Ye's mother held the thin gold necklace with one hand, which also had a flower pendant, and used the other hand to take the bracelet, and couldn't wait to take the ring to wear it. The ring was also in the shape of a flower.

"So much is all mine? This is too much, too beautiful... oh... why buy so much... this bracelet feels very heavy..."

"A-Qing, is this all for me? Do you have any? I don't need so much, share a little with you, it looks better for you young women to wear..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and pushed, "No need, Mom, this is bought by A-Dong to honor you, I have some too, my share was put away last night, this is yours, you put it away, no need to give it to me."

"Yours is put away? Do you have all these?"

"All have, Grandma also has, the three of us have the same necklace, one bracelet, two rings, one pair of earrings."

The old lady smiled with wrinkles, "Right, I also have, I'm already old bones, and still have to buy for me, wasteful money. Dongzi is just too filial, thinking about buying things for the family as soon as he goes out."

"I'm at this age, what else do I need? No need to worry about food and drink, but he only thinks about buying for us, he doesn't have any himself, it makes my heart ache, this child is just too honest."

"Only thinking about the family, didn't think about himself, as soon as he earned money, he wanted to buy everything back for us, he suffered a lot outside, but didn't buy anything for himself..."

"Have, have, I bought for myself..." Ye Yaodong hurriedly spoke.

He couldn't even listen to it himself, was he that selfless?

"I bought a lot for myself, and it was the most expensive. Didn't you see I bought a 100,000+ yuan boat? And took 200,000 out of the bank, and spent it all. I spent so much, where did I not buy? The money earned was all spent by myself."

Lin Xiuqing patted him, "You also know the money you earned was all spent by yourself? Don't know until you say it, scared to death when you say it."

"When you said it before, I hadn't reacted yet, calculating like this, you spent over 300,000!?"

"My god..."

Thinking like this, she couldn't laugh anymore.

My god, over 300,000!

Didn't react before, all fooled by him saying one sentence here and one sentence there, and then mentioned buying land.

Her mind was diverted, and she couldn't care about thinking more.

Calculating like this now, wasn't it over 300,000 spent? Didn't even realize it just now.

Cunning enough?

Ye's mother was also dumbfounded when she heard this number, "Th... over 300,000? Dongzi, Dongzi spent over 300,000?"

Ye Yaodong also felt he said the wrong thing, they had already skipped it.

"Don't be excited, didn't we just talk about it? Why bring it up again? This doesn't count as me spending on myself, this is investment cost, the state pays, don't think too much, let's talk about something happy."

He hurriedly put the bracelet on his mother, "Wow, this is too beautiful, too expensive? Mom, once you wear this, you are a proper rich lady! The landlord's wife of the landlord's family!"

"Ahahaha, why landlord's wife, is it beautiful? Oh, it's really beautiful, this ring is also beautiful..."

Ye's mother happily focused her attention on her big gold bracelet and ring again.

"A-Qing, put the necklace on for my mother, I'll go get her a mirror."

"You only know how to change the subject!"

"No, just let it be after talking about it, now have to talk about happy things. You didn't wear it last night, and didn't look in the mirror, I'll put it on for you in a while."

Ye's father kept playing with the gold ring on his middle finger, his mouth never closed, and he also took his gold necklace and said to Ye Yaodong.

"Put it on for me to see, how much did you spend on such a thick necklace?"

"Forgot, bought too much, anyway yours is the most expensive."

Ye's father was very satisfied.

Ye's mother looked in the mirror left and right, couldn't see enough, happy to death, "Is it beautiful?"

The whole family agreed: "Beautiful."

"Hehe, too beautiful, if I wear this and walk out, the women in the whole village will be envious to death, should I wear it?"

Ye's father opposed, "Wear what, what if it's robbed, you won't even have a place to cry, your necklace is so thin, it breaks with one pull."

"Ah, that's true. But this big gold bracelet is too big, even more worried, this gold ring... I'm not good at doing work while wearing it..."

Can't let others envy, then her happy mood can only be 88 points.

Others' envy has a bonus.

"Wear it, it was bought for you to wear. If you think the bracelet is too big, and the ring is inconvenient to work, just wear a necklace. Just right, winter clothes are gray, wearing a golden necklace is so beautiful? Wear the earrings too, they are conspicuous, go for a walk in a while, guarantee the women in the whole village will envy you for giving birth to a good son."

"What if it's robbed..."

"You didn't go anywhere, you're just active in the village. In this village, you can walk sideways, who dares to rob you? Who is so blind and looking for death?"

Ye's mother thought it was true, in this village, who dares to move a finger of hers?

Who doesn't have to say hello when they see her?

She was happy again.

"If you go outside, hide the necklace in your clothes, no one can see it."

"Right, right, you're right, I'll wear it, won't take it off."

Ye's mother took the mirror and looked left and right, couldn't see enough, happy to death.

"You also let me look, don't just look at yourself, let me look, let me look at the mirror..."

"Here... let you look, yours is too thick, can't wear it, what if it's gone, won't even have a place to cry. Wear it now to satisfy your addiction, take it off in a while, I'll put it away for you."

"Why? The ring picked up was given to you, not enough, this was bought by Dongzi for me, I want to keep it myself."

"Where can you keep it? Doesn't everything in the house belong to me? You can't even find a sock, can you manage gold?"

"You keep yours, I keep mine. Dongzi honored me, I want to keep it myself."

Ye's mother scolded him twice, snatched the mirror from his hand, didn't let him look, and said.

"If you lose it, you have to be a cow or horse to buy one to compensate me. This was bought by Dongzi, when we are old, we have to give it to him before we die."

"Whoever bought the things, give it to whoever when we die, just wear it now."

Ye's father touched his neck and looked at the ring on his hand, feeling that the newly bought one was better looking, much better than the one picked up.

"You think so far, still have decades..."

The old lady agreed exceptionally, chiming in: "Right, this was bought by Dongzi, when you are old, you have to leave it to him before you leave. Whoever bought it for you, leave it to whoever, this is fair."

"That's a bit far, a bit hard to wait." Ye Yaodong joked happily.

"My things will all be yours then, originally they were all given by you, I won't give to anyone, no one can want it."

"You said this a bit early, talk about it later."

Ye Yaodong looked at the few dogs that ran in at some point, drilling around under the table at his feet, and he also grabbed one out.

"Know how to share gifts, you guys also ran over? Wait."

He patted the dog's head and asked Lin Xiuqing, "Did you see the pile of bells I bought?"

"Yes, when organizing that pile of luggage this morning, I saw there were many bells in the basket. What did you bring those bells for? Why buy so many?"

"For the dogs at home to wear. It makes no sense that everyone in the family has either a gold necklace or a silver necklace, our dogs also have to be equipped, giving them a copper one is also good."

Lin Xiuqing was speechless, "You even remember to bring gifts for the dogs."

"That's right, they are a good hand at guarding the house. I'm not at home, don't I have to rely on them to help me guard the house well."

Ye Yaodong said while rubbing the dog's chin, and the dog also stretched out its tongue to lick his hand back.

"Don't know why you brought them, I thought they were bought for children to play with. Your daughter saw them early in the morning, and liked that *ding-ding-dang-dang* sound, strung them with a rope, and asked me to help her wear them on her neck."

"Ah, damn, I brought them for the dogs."

"She ran out to find the surrounding children to show off, when she comes back, don't know if she's willing to take them off."

"Then leave one for her? Same style as the dogs?"

Lin Xiuqing patted him, "Not decent." ===== CHAPTER 1312 =====
