Chapter 1401: Returning on the Second Day

After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, the heart that had been hanging finally returned to his stomach.

Finally solved a hidden worry.

Although they had agreed to discuss everything first, he felt that sometimes when you encounter a good thing, you have to take action. How can you report everything?

Now communication is inconvenient, and it's not the era where everyone has a mobile phone. Making a call is a struggle to find a place far away.

It's fine if you report it and they understand, but what if they don't?

Then should I do it or not?

Who knows, the opportunity might be gone.

Others don't have his foresight. Most are conservatives, relatively content with the status quo. With the current family assets, whoever has them is already very satisfied, and generally, they will refuse to toss around.

A-Qing is also an ordinary person, and her own cognition is limited.

Anyway, he can earn money back for her, let her live a good life, not mess around, and that's already very good.

Now he is also explaining in time after the fact. Sometimes white lies are quite good, reducing family conflicts.

And A-Qing, although conservative, is not unreasonable. Acting first and reporting later might be better for her, avoiding her opposition and affecting his work.

If he really had to ask for instructions for everything and get her consent before doing it, wouldn't that make him seem too indecisive and incapable?

At least his cognition is broader than hers. For things that are a steady profit without loss, he definitely does them first.

"Is there a seat? I'll join in..." Ye Yaodong walked toward their card table.

Recently, there has been a full game here all day long. As long as they haven't gone to collect goods, haven't gone out to sea, and haven't gone to do business, they all gather here.

"Finished the call? Where is there a seat for you? It's almost mealtime, we're all finishing..."

"You make these calls quite diligently. You make them every few days, wishing you could make one every day."

"You're really sticky with your wife. How many years have you been married? Aren't you tired of it?"

Ye Yaodong laughed. "Ten years. My oldest son is 10 years old, and my little daughter is over 4 years old. Tired of what? She has been accompanying me through hardships until now. It's not easy that conditions are better now, so I have to have a conscience."

"You're quite something! Haha."

"Definitely. If the lover outside knows you have no money, she will definitely run away the first time and find the next boss, but the wife is different." He spoke the truth.

"That's true, makes sense."

"That's true. Those outside can only be played with, not taken seriously. Only the wife will guard you and won't leave."

"That makes me feel embarrassed. Come, come, come, you take my place, I'll also call my wife at home, and I'll remit money back in the afternoon..."

"I'll also transfer some money home..."

"You damn finally found your conscience. You've been spending money on lovers outside, and finally remembered your wife."

"I also remit money home regularly, I haven't forgotten..."

"Forget it, you guys..."

Ye Yaodong felt that what he said suddenly worked quite well, since it could make them find their conscience a little bit.

He truly felt that women outside were useless, only caring about money, not feelings. The only one who would truly never leave would be his wife.

That's hard to say later, but at least the current wife can't be driven away, can share wealth, and can share hardships.

He only stayed here until noon and went back after eating.

It was windy this morning, and the fishing boats had just gone out and returned. He wasn't sure if Dongsheng and the others had returned.

He was even less sure if his father's boat had returned. He had to go back and take a look.

It was also fortunate that he went back.

The small boats returned in the morning, and not long after, those boats of Dongsheng also returned one after another.

When he went back, the goods of Dongsheng were moved to the deck, just waiting for him to handle them.

The goods of other boats had already been moved to the nearest fish market.

The trip where they docked wasn't his to collect. His collection boat only went out to sea to collect goods. They sold them themselves when they returned, and they could sell more without him drawing a cut.

In itself, the trip where these few boats docked wasn't his to collect; his fresh-catch collection boats only go out to sea to collect goods. When they dock and return, they sell the goods themselves, which allows them to sell for a bit more without having to give him a cut.

The order volume he recorded last night was already more than enough for just the Dongsheng alone.

This weather can also be considered an unexpected situation.

He had people weigh a portion of the goods according to the quantity he recorded, planning to send off a portion of the people first, and incidentally, he also asked his cousin about the weather conditions at sea.

"It's autumn and the wind is picking up; the fishing boats are all returning one after another. At the very least, when we discussed returning, the fishing boats at sea were also returning one after another. I don't know about that big boat of yours."

"I think it should also return. The broadcast said there's a level five gale and suggested that fishing boats return to port as soon as possible. Third Uncle definitely knows."

"We only just returned an hour ago; he's probably arriving soon too."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then I'll deliver the goods first. You guys just leave people on the boats to keep watch anyway; once they return, let them weigh the goods first."

"Alright."

He had only delivered one load of goods, and when he returned, he saw that there were more fishing boats entering the port on the sea surface, and there were also many large boats.

Many people died in the last typhoon, so everyone has become much more cautious. Now that there is even a slight sign of trouble, they would rather hurry back.

And the Ocean-Going No. 1 also docked an hour later, and the goods Ye Yaodong needed were also sufficient.

It just so happens that after this wave is sold, he can rest tomorrow.

Originally, three or four days ago, when the Dongsheng and the others returned, his father didn't return at that time. Now, adding the beginning and the end, it has been twelve or thirteen days; it's not a loss, and he has earned money.

He went back and forth delivering goods, and the bag on his body became more and more bulging. He pondered in his heart that next time he must put the gun in a sack and carry it on his back.

Now walking on the road, he doesn't think anyone looks like a good person!

He thinks everyone looks like a robber!

After much difficulty, he arrived home safely, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The younger brothers who followed him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you guys even more nervous than me?"

"Of course we're nervous. If we run into bad guys, we definitely have to go first."

That makes sense.

"Hang in there a little longer. At most, in ten more days, we will go back. We will definitely go back early; it won't be until the end of the month."

"Okay..."

"When we go back, I'll pay you the wages for these two months. It'll be just right to take home, and you'll have an explanation."

"That would be great; no need to wait until the end of the year."

"When we go back, you'll have a few days of paid leave to rest, and then come back up at the beginning of the month. By then, we'll definitely need to leave people here to keep watch. Those who stay here will get double wages. You guys see, just leave four or five people."

"Double wages..."

"Yeah, you guys discuss it yourselves and tell the others. This is voluntary; no forcing."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he let them discuss it among themselves, and he went inside first.

At this time, everyone on the construction site was like they were having a big meeting, all gathered together, some bathing, some chatting.

The matter of him buying land and depositing money had spread again.

Those who had just returned hadn't even sat down for long in the evening when they heard about it. As soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded again, his ears filled with a bunch of questions.

He had no choice but to repeat it again.

Even though they had already heard everyone talking about it, they still wanted to hear the person involved explain it in detail again.

Ye's father's heart ached, fearing that the money would be gone, and he kept asking if it was reliable.

Ye Yaodong talked to them for another half hour before he went to drink some tea and then went into the room.

There was no other way; those who surrounded him were either his father or his brothers, or close friends and relatives.

Ye's father asked from the doorway until he entered the room. Even when others stopped asking, he was still asking, and Ye Yaodong was getting annoyed.

"It's not your money, why are you worrying so much?"

"It's just that I feel like we're going back soon, so there's no need. What if..."

"Shut up and count the money."

Ye Yaodong opened the bag, and the paper money scattered all over the bed. His father shut up as expected.

"After counting my money, count your money."

Ye's father nodded busily, his mouth wide open with a smile.

With his fingers and mouth both active, how could he still be bothered to nag?

"How about I also deposit the money you gave me into the bank?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father with an indescribable expression, not knowing what to say to him anymore.

On one hand, he was worried that depositing money in the bank would lead to an accident, but once he had money in his own hands, he also started thinking about the bank's interest...

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye's father continued to ask: "Can it really double?"

"How would I know? Anyway, I believe it now. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"I heard that before Old Pei came out, he also deposited all his money in the bank..."

"That was a demand deposit, which can be withdrawn at any time. What I deposited is a time deposit, which can only be withdrawn after 5 years. You decide for yourself."

"That... I... how about after we get home, you take the money and give it to me? I'll deposit it in the bank back home, so I can go and check on it every few days?"

"Fine, after we get home, I'll give you your money."

"Don't let your mother know."

Ye Yaodong really wanted to roll his eyes, "I know."

Ye's father was delighted, "It just so happens that when we go back, I'll see if Old Pei's money can be withdrawn. If he can withdraw it, then I won't have anything to worry about with this thousand or so yuan."

"You really have a lot of schemes."

"Of course I have to be careful with so much money."

"Indeed, you have to be careful. If my mother finds out, she'll flip the sky."

"She won't..."

Ye's father suddenly felt a bit unsure, and his tone became weak.

"After I deposit it, I'll put the passbook with you."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and silently organized his own money.

He gave his father a look, telling him to figure it out himself.

"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you."

"I know, I know, you're nagging. Why are you saving so much money?"

"Saving is just saving, what else can I do? I've lived for more than half my life and haven't saved any money in my hands. Do you think it's easy for me?"

Ye Yaodong thought about it, and that was true.

He spent the first half of his life for this family, and the second half working for his mother, selling his life for her.

"This money should indeed be collected by you!"

"Right!"

Ye's father received approval, his back straightened, he became confident, and suddenly he wasn't afraid of his wife at home knowing anymore.

Dongzi was on his side!

"I'm thinking that next month, September 9th is October 31st. Let's go back about a week early, how about the 2nd? I checked the calendar, and the 2nd is also a good day for traveling."

Ye's father hurried to check the calendar, "The 4th is also a good day for traveling."

"Then you want to work two more days?"

"Ah, then the 2nd is fine, let's go back on the 2nd."
