Chapter 1439: Originally

"I have become a millionaire? Grass!"

Lin Xiuqing's face was full of smiles, "Right, others are still working hard for the ten-thousand-yuan household, you are already a millionaire, really the richest man in the village."

Ye Yaodong also felt quite pleased. In his previous life, he didn't even have tens of thousands in savings at 50. In this life, he was only 30, and it was only 1988, yet he was already a millionaire?

Then when he is 50, that's it?

"I am really awesome!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are impressive, you are awesome, this time really don't have to work."

"That won't work, only a million, not enough to look at, and really don't have to work, then what about those factories and fishing boats of mine? The whole village is still relying on me to eat, and there are hundreds of workers, if I really don't work, they have to be unemployed."

Sometimes when you reach a certain level, you can't work, it's not a question of whether you earn enough money, but there are too many people behind you.

Can't walk, have to be pushed to walk, for those who live by relying on themselves, he can't lie flat.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with amusement, "The person who used to read about not having to work and can retire is you, now the person who is reluctant to work is you."

"I am not for myself, I am for a pile of people behind me, so many people follow me to eat, can't ignore it, let alone who dislikes money, now it is just beginning to develop."

"Yes, our factories are just starting, many fishing boats haven't arrived yet, now there is already a million, what about the future?"

Lin Xiuqing thought the more her heart was rippling, this is simply wealth she didn't dare to think about, didn't dare to dream about.

"Let everyone call me Ye Zong, call you Ye Tai."

She laughed, "Thought quite beautifully, if people in the village really call like this, are you embarrassed to respond?"

"Why are you embarrassed? They dare to call, of course I dare to respond."

"Hurry up and take a bath, still talking here, out for a few days, haven't taken a bath, right?"

"In winter, what does it matter? It's normal not to wash for a week, let alone tomorrow is New Year's Eve, can save it, wash it tomorrow for the New Year."

"I go, do you have to calculate so accurately? Hurry up and wash, still missing this day? Out for a trip and back with dust, still not wash, full of dust, then don't sleep on the bed at night."

"That won't work, then wash, wash, wash, go wash now."

Ye Yaodong was somewhat reluctant.

Winter is too cold, let alone at night, it is colder after entering the night, they don't have any heating equipment in the south.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he responded well, but his actions were grinding, simply said: "You wait here, I will hit the bath water for you."

"Then good, by the way, find my clothes, I don't know where to put them."

She rolled her eyes and went out.

This man will never know where his clothes, underwear and socks are placed in his life.

Lin Xiuqing hit the bath water for him and went out to turn around.

When he returned, Ye Yaodong was already lying comfortably in the quilt.

"Do you know? I just went out to turn around, heard that the Wang family has transferred the battlefield, made trouble to the village head's eldest son's house, heard that the child was led over, let everyone see who it looks like."

Lin Xiuqing's eyes were shining with gossip, and she said it very energetically.

"And then?" Ye Yaodong asked casually with his hands behind his head.

"Everyone said that the boy looks like his mother, as for whether he looks like the village head's son, some said yes, some said no."

"Then?"

"Then of course he didn't admit it, said they slandered, from just now when I came back to cook, until it was dark, and just now under Secretary Chen's coordination, let them go back first."

"Then there will be trouble tomorrow."

"Isn't it? Now it's spreading in the village, saying that it's good now, one child extorts 10,000 yuan, now two children can extort 20,000 yuan, really valuable."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips; this was the consequence of not being picky about food.

Whatever is dirty and smelly, the only thing that will be harmed is himself.

Lin Xiuqing said with interest: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, should be able to solve it? If it is not solved, making trouble on the first day of the New Year, this year can be considered abolished."

"Definitely, no matter what, it will be appeased, at least can't let people make trouble on the New Year, making trouble on the first day of the New Year, really want to form a dead feud."

"One by one, the spine is going to be poked off, really."

"Never mind others, let's sleep." Ye Yaodong pulled open the quilt and patted the spot on the bed beside him.

"Things haven't been finished yet, just you are comfortable, can lie down."

"What else to busy? Things before the New Year are not finished, handled well? The rest is tomorrow New Year's Eve, tomorrow will be done."

"Should be organized and checked, otherwise tomorrow will kill chickens and ducks, prepare New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's dishes, where can I get my hands. Also have to catch the children back, these few days crazy running, don't know how to come back to sleep without shouting."

"Good, remember to let Ye Xiaoxi sleep with the old lady."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him and went out.

The next day, Ye Yaodong slept until he woke up naturally and got up feeling refreshed.

Originally wanted to stay in bed, but felt that the surroundings were quiet?

Shouldn't be, today is New Year's Eve, every household should be busy early in the morning, should be noisy.

Now it is quiet, no talking, only a few intermittent small firecracker sounds from far away, a little wrong.

He got up quickly in confusion, but saw that the chickens and ducks had been wiped and thrown in the yard, and a row of 4 little radish heads squatted beside them, each holding a tree branch and poking the dead chickens and ducks.

And Ye Fu was carrying a large bucket of boiling water out of the house, shouting for them to go out and play, don't be in the way here.

The twins took a step back, but immediately hugged Ye Fu's legs on one side, and shouted in unison.

"Eunuch, congratulations on wealth~ congratulations on wealth~"

"What are you doing?"

"Grandpa, congratulations on wealth~"

"Eunuch, congratulations on wealth~"

After shouting, they all spread their palms.

Ye Fu understood this time, this is asking him for New Year's money.

"Go, go, give it at night, don't be in the way here."

"Table~ have to give..."

Ye Fu touched his pocket with his left hand, touched his pocket with his right hand, only took out a few cents of coins, "Didn't bring money, go buy candy first, don't be in the way here, let your grandmother give it at night."

"Grandpa has no money, go, find Grandma..." Ye Xiaoxi grabbed a few coins and ran first.

The remaining three hurriedly followed.

"This child..."

Ye Yaodong stepped forward and put his hand on his father's shoulder, "Did you go deposit the money?"

Ye Fu looked at him, guilty like a thief, looked left and right, whispered: "Saved, let A-Qing give me the money two days ago, I secretly went to save it, current interest has 5%, one-year fixed has 7.2%."

"Eh, adjusted?"

"Heard that the interest rate is changing very fast now, often adjusted, I am worried that there will be no such high interest later, save a little first, I don't have any place to use money, anyway you will give money here."

"You think quite beautifully, the money I give you, you save it, and you can ask me for it when you have no money."

"Cough, I'll pluck the hair first." Ye Fu hurriedly put the chickens and ducks together into a large bucket to scald, changing the topic.

"A-Qing?"

"Went to watch the fun in the village again, it has been noisy for several days, and it started again early this morning. I killed the chickens and ducks for you, killed the fish, wait for them to come back from watching the fun with your mother, can be busy directly."

"Why didn't you go?"

"I went, who will do this work? Today is New Year's Eve, whose family is not busy early in the morning? This one by one ran without a shadow."

While Ye Fu was speaking, he saw Ye Yaodong also lifting his foot to walk outside and hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come back to help?"

"Don't you have it?"

Ye Yaodong dropped a sentence, his foot already stepping over the courtyard threshold.

Quite good, his father is their strong backing for watching the fun.

There were small firecracker sounds everywhere in the village, children running and jumping with laughter, but adults didn't see a few, either old people were killing chickens, ducks and fish at the door, cleaning up vegetables, and slightly younger ones didn't see them.

Really all ran to join the fun, New Year is not spent?

He walked lazily toward the familiar direction, just walked halfway, saw a large group of people at the intersection in front, he immediately stopped and avoided to the side.

After people approached, he inquired, and knew that these were from the village head's house.

Said that the old Wang family couldn't produce evidence, the village head said if they made trouble again, he would directly report to the border defense station to let them eat and walk around, and said don't be too greedy, and still want to eat both sides.

This time it was the village head who rested here first, intending to continue to Chen Wei's house.

After he finished asking, he also saw Lin Xiuqing walking quickly toward him from the side.

"Finished watching the fun? Things at home are not done, running out early in the morning."

Lin Xiuqing held his arm and smiled, "In time."

"My mother? Didn't go with you?"

"She is on the other side."

"Are you two acting separately?"

"No, it's that they are making a scene on two sides. The village cadres have all gone over there, and here the village chief is handling it himself."

Lin Xiuqing told him the specific situation from just now again as she walked.

It was the village chief who was both threatening them and offering a carrot, promising that he would end their farce today.

The implication of his words was probably that he would let them get compensation from Chen Wei, telling them not to be too greedy, lest they end up with nothing like a fish dying and the net breaking.

"Actually, blackmailing the village chief doesn't do them any good. After all, they have to live in the village and are under the village's jurisdiction."

The village cadres have a lot of authority now. 110 doesn't even exist yet, and everything is managed by the village. Without special circumstances or major events, the border defense station won't bother with the trivial matters in the village.

"If you ask me, they should just give the money directly in front of so many village cadres, and by the way, declare that they are severing ties so that they won't have anything to do with each other in the future."

"Anyway, everyone says he made a lot of money. Giving 5,000 should mean he doesn't lack the remaining 5,000, and it could buy some peace for the future."

"Otherwise, what is this like? Are they going to make a scene like this on the first day of the Lunar New Year too?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "I'm just afraid they don't have that much money and are just bluffing."

"That's why they are too high-profile. They don't have the ability but still bluff, and in the end, they hurt themselves. For an ordinary family, who dares to open their mouth and ask for 10,000 in compensation? 1,000 is the absolute limit."

"Never mind them..."

He had just finished speaking when he looked up and happened to see Lin Ji on the street.

"You go watch the fun, I'm not going." Ye Yaodong walked toward Lin Ji.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at them and didn't bother with him, continuing to follow the main group.

Ye Yaodong took the cigarette Lin Ji handed over. When the other person offered to light it for him, he declined with a smile.

"Oh my, how could I be embarrassed to let Boss Lin light my cigarette."

He borrowed a light from the cigarette hanging from Lin Ji's mouth.

"When did you come back? I see you even less often than I see myself."

"It's almost the New Year, I'm collecting debts everywhere. Only after I finish collecting can I have a peaceful New Year."

"Looks like you've made quite a bit."

"It's alright."

"In Zhoushan?"

"Yeah."

"Going up after the New Year?"

"Yes."

"Let me know when you set off."

"Huh?"

"I also want to take some people up to have a look. I want to set up an office and add a few more transport routes."

Ye Yaodong: "!!!"

"You've gotten that big? How many ships do you have now?"

"A dozen or so cargo ships, some big and some small. Not as many as you; I heard you have twenty or thirty."

"You're... pretty awesome!"

"The main thing is that ships are hard to get, and construction isn't that fast. I want to set up a route up there and arrange a big ship for freight. By the way, I'll also see if I can order a few more ships while I'm there."

"Impressive, are you specializing in freight now?"

"I do some other things too, just to make a living."

Ye Yaodong didn't ask further, just nodded, "If there are no accidents, I'll probably go up around the 16th or 17th. You should prepare."

"Alright. By the way, don't you want a wolf dog? I've got two little wolf dog puppies. Come to my house to get them later."

"Alright."

He had been thinking about it for a long time.

But there were a few too many dogs at home, so he could wait until after the New Year to take them up.

"That friend of yours is a bit stingy. It seems he's running a speedboat, yet he's reluctant to spend this little bit of money."

Ye Yaodong was shocked, "Running a speedboat!!!"

"You didn't know?"

"I didn't. We haven't had any contact for a long time."

He was just wondering why he had suddenly become so high-profile, and his family even dared to bluff, saying that he, Ye Yaodong, was nothing.

So he had really found a way to make money? He was acting big now?

Not selling fake fish anymore, but found a way to run speedboats?

He really had guts, truly awesome. This was more than just a prison sentence.

"It seems he isn't really running it himself, just working for someone up there? Or learning? I don't know much, just heard a little."

"I was wondering why he suddenly started acting big. Two or three years ago, he looked quite down and out. Suddenly running a speedboat? That shouldn't be the case; he doesn't have the qualifications."

"That's true, not just anyone can run those."

"Then he's definitely going to lose this compensation, and he still dares to delay?"

"It shows he can't do big things. He has the heart to make money but not the courage. Even if he makes money, it's useless."

"Heh."

He wouldn't comment on that.

"Then it's settled. I'll go to Zhoushan with you around the 16th or 17th of the first lunar month."

"Alright. Are you going to the provincial capital after the New Year?"

"Yes."

"Let me know when you leave. I'll see if the time is suitable. I need to go to the provincial capital."

Ye Yaodong told him about getting the qualification to buy a big Jiefang truck and that he had to go to the provincial capital to order it in advance, and by the way, take Ye Chenghai to the provincial capital.

"Alright, you're doing well, you've even got a big Jiefang?"

"Buying it is simple, but there's no one to drive it, so I still have to find a master to learn from."

"I do have a candidate, shall I introduce him to you?"

"A master to drive it?"

"One who can take on apprentices to learn. I can't give you the driver; no amount of money can hire him."

"That's fine too."

It should be easier to deal with a referral from an acquaintance, right?

"You're doing great, you've arranged everything well for the nephews in your family."

"This is called 'when one person attains the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' If there's a suitable job and a suitable position, of course, you arrange for your own family first."

"Yeah."
