Chapter 1634

Now that it was settled, the next step was to wait for the horoscopes to be matched and the date to be chosen.

They only had time during these days of the first lunar month, so they weren't that particular and prepared to pick a good day to hold the engagement and wedding together, and hold the wedding banquet consecutively.

With money, everything is easy to talk about. Both sides weren't difficult to deal with, and both were sincere about getting married, so there was no deliberate making things difficult, and everything was easy to talk about.

Originally, they had already communicated in advance about what requirements there might be. Today was just a meeting between the parents of both sides to open up the matter face-to-face and implement it.

Now that the negotiation was successfully completed, everyone was happy.

For dinner, they also went to a relatively famous restaurant nearby to eat out.

Originally, they wanted to arrange a place for them to sleep at night, but Ye Yaopeng refused, saying that they could stay on the boat, which would save trouble, and it would be convenient to go directly to the shipyard the next day.

This trip only had Ye Mu and Ye Dasao, two women. They could sleep in the captain's lounge behind the cockpit.

Others could sleep in the workers' lounge below. There were plenty of beds to lie on, and it was a new boat, so everywhere was very clean.

There were many of them, so if they went to stay outside, it would be too much of an expense for the in-laws. Of course, it was best to solve it themselves.

The next morning, they went to the plant to talk about official business. The two boats of the two brothers had already been built, and they were just waiting to finish the procedures and drive them back.

Ye Yaodong didn't accompany them at the shipyard today, but took Lin Guangming and Lin Guangwen to the automobile factory. The big Jiefang truck he ordered last year had been a year, and they had long been notified that it could be delivered.

It just so happened that since they were in the provincial capital today, they also handled the procedures for that big Jiefang truck and let the two brothers drive it back for him today.

Now that the number of fishing boats had increased and there were more goods, one big truck was no longer enough. They all relied on repeating back and forth to transport more trips, spending more time to deliver the goods.

By the time they finished their business in the provincial capital and returned, it was already noon, and it was night when they got home.

Lin Guangwen and Lin Guangming, the two brothers, returned earlier than them driving the big truck. As soon as they entered the village, they were warmly welcomed and chased by all the old and young in the village.

However, by the time they returned, it was already calm.

Ye Chenghai also returned with the whole family. It wasn't time for the plant to go on holiday yet, but he asked for leave in advance to return to prepare for some wedding matters.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to chat with his eldest brother and ask about his economic situation, but he couldn't find the time.

It was already late at night when he returned. Early the next morning, he went to Wenzhou to handle the shares in his hands.

Fang Jingfu didn't have any mental preparation. Hearing him say he wanted to sell his shares, he was stunned.

"No, brother, are you serious? The plant we have now is a chicken that lays golden eggs. Do you know how much money we can distribute this year?"

"At least one or two hundred thousand, right?"

"About that. Are you sure you want to sell all the shares to me? Not taking the dividends anymore?"

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Yes."

"Even if you can earn more and more in the future?"

"Well, my energy is limited and I can't spread it too thin. What's more, my main field isn't this. I'm so busy now that I only come once a year for the New Year. It's better to sell it to you at a flat price."

The glory of lighters would only last for these few years. Once the peak of these years passed, it would almost be on a downward path, and a whole area would have to collapse before the millennium.

Fang Jingfu's heart instantly became hot. He had also thought about it, but he denied it as soon as the thought crossed his mind. Who would be willing to sell, so he had never mentioned it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Yaodong actually took the initiative to mention selling the shares in his hands. This was simply a pie falling from the sky.

"If you really want to sell, then I won't be polite."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Well, let's calculate the dividends today first, and then you ask someone to estimate the output value and the value of the plant, and calculate my share. Then you look at how much you intend to pay to buy back mine."

"Okay, I'll remember this favor. It's a holiday now, so after work starts after the New Year, I will ask someone to estimate it as soon as possible, issue an asset estimation table, and then call to notify you."

"Good."

Fang Jingfu thought for a while and asked: "You shouldn't have earned less in these few years, right? You don't look down on the dividends of hundreds of thousands a year?"

Ye Yaodong laughed. "Where, how could I look down on so much money? It's just that my energy is limited, and I also thought about doing you a favor. I don't want to turn against you after making money to the end. Anyway, I haven't earned less. The input and return have already multiplied I don't know how many times. Stop while you're ahead, and just take one last sum. I believe you won't treat me unfairly."

He alone was now comparable to a fishery company, and he would only earn more in the coming year.

Now he had so much money that he almost felt it was just a number, and he really didn't put any thought into this side.

Taking advantage of the peak period to withdraw directly and taking a big sum at the end was about right.

"Okay, you are a straightforward person. I won't let you suffer a loss when the time comes. We'll see the estimation and buy it back at several times the value."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong looked at the 200,000 in dividends he received this year. This was only taking a part of the profit to distribute, and most of it was left for operation.

If the output value and assets were estimated, he could get at least a million. If it multiplied by several times, wouldn't he get millions?

It was worth it anyway.

He only earned ten million this year.

Once this money was converted into his hands, he would have to run to the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Donghai Shipyard again after the New Year. The Donghai Shipyard was now also taking orders for thousand-ton ships.

Once the money in hand was directly utilized and put into use, Dongsheng Fishery would be the number one fishery company in the coming year.

After handling the matter, he didn't stay long, as he had to rush home for the New Year.

But before that, he also asked about the twins he had placed here to work a few years ago.

He asked them if they still wanted to stay here after he withdrew his shares. If they wanted to stay, they could continue to work. If they didn't stay, he would arrange work for them when they went back.

The two of them only said they would consider it and go home to discuss it first.

Both of them had married local wives in the past few years, so it was really hard to say whether they wanted to go back to their hometown and start from scratch.

Ye Yaodong didn't force them and let them choose for themselves. Anyway, no matter how they chose, he would always arrange for them.

It was extremely lively at home these days. It was almost the New Year, and the village was the liveliest during these days all year round.

As soon as he entered the village, he could hear a bunch of hawking, firecrackers, children's laughter, and adults' shouting while gambling.

Looking down, the road was covered with red firecracker paper scraps, and looking up, there were red lanterns, red couplets, and colorful flags fluttering. It was so full of New Year flavor.

"Dongzi is back?"

"Haven't seen you for several days, where are you back from?"

"Busy man, come and eat some melon seeds, they're very fragrant..."

"Just short of one, do you want to come?"

After Ye Yaodong refused, his palm was filled with a big handful of melon seeds. He responded happily, then cracked them while walking, and greeted everyone by the way.

A stretch of road that could have been reached in 10 minutes took him half an hour.

There was a lively crowd of people at his door, with several tables set up, playing cards while basking in the sun.

As soon as someone saw him, they shouted, and Lin Xiuqing immediately greeted him.

"Back? Is it smooth?"

"Well, let's talk at home."

"Dongzi, playing cards? You really are a dragon that sees its head but not its tail. Except for the first day you came back, I saw you, and I haven't seen a shadow of you since. What are you busy with?"

"Need to ask? Busy making money."

Someone responded with a smile, and he didn't say anything else.

"I'll go home and rest for a while, I'm exhausted."

Lin Xiuqing didn't ask again until they returned home.

Ye Yaodong handed her the new passbook in his arms, and then told her.

"Selling it is also good, and I can sell it for a large sum of money. When the time comes, I'll use it to order fishing boats, keep it in my own hands, and manage it together. It saves me from having to run out there during the New Year, and I have to be busy until New Year's Eve every year."

"Well, it will be over after running one more time after the New Year."

"We've made a big profit this way, money picked up for nothing."

Ye Yaodong was a bit proud. "Have I picked up little money for nothing? It's all because I have good vision and good luck."

Lin Xiuqing agreed with a smile. "Yes, it's good that I listened to you."

"Is Chenghe's marriage set? When are the two brothers getting married?"

"It's all set. Ahai is getting married on the 12th of the first lunar month, and Chenghe is getting married on the 18th of the first lunar month. Originally, there was a good day on the 3rd, but it was too early, and I was afraid it wouldn't be ready in time."

"Then we'll leave later this year."

"Will it affect the opening of your factory above?"

"No, the factory above opens on the 10th, and there are managers to arrange it, so I don't need to worry too much. I'll arrange for Chen Baoxing and Dongxue to go up by the big Jiefang truck later. The new big truck that just arrived also needs to be driven up, so I'll arrange a carload of people to set off first."

A part of the people can take the waterway with him later, and a part of the people can take the land route by big truck first.

Lin Xiuqing was relieved now. "It's good that there's an arrangement. I've been worried that it would affect the opening of your factory above."

"No, eldest brother's two sons are getting married together, and they bought new boats. I don't know if their hands are loose, and father's house also needs to start building after the New Year."

"I heard eldest sister-in-law nagging about it twice, saying that they all rushed together, and they have to bleed heavily and empty their family savings."

"Is the bride price for Chenghe's wife also high?"

"Yes, originally it was 800 yuan, but now it's the same. Otherwise, if two daughters-in-law enter the door together and the bride price is different, they will say they look down on her, and then there will be trouble."

"Then it must be the same."

"Also, Ahai's house in the provincial capital is also settled. He had already asked in advance, and he will implement it after the New Year before the wedding."

"Then it really rushed together, and it must be a big bleed."

"Who says it isn't? This is a boat, a daughter-in-law, a bride price, and now house money."

"I'll chat with eldest brother later. If there's any difficulty, we'll borrow some for him."

"Why do you need to take the initiative to say it? If they really have difficulties, they will speak up themselves. Now that they haven't spoken, they must be able to cope. Besides, father and mother also gave money, but I don't know how much, they didn't say."

"No need to ask, father and mother know how much they gave."

"I know, I didn't ask, and I don't stare at the money in the hands of the two old people. It's just that second sister-in-law asked a few questions sideways, but father and mother didn't respond to her, just saying that if Ajiang gets married, they will give the same amount."

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing thought for a while and told him another thing. "Do you remember two years ago, Chenghe listened to your instigation and bought a piece of land in the Magic City?"

Ye Yaodong was a bit surprised. "Everything is fine, why bring this up?"

"Eldest brother and sister-in-law are afraid that the two brothers will not be divided fairly. Although the two bride prices are the same, Ahai has an extra house in the provincial capital, and that house costs ten thousand yuan."

"She is worried that Chenghe's wife will have a knot in her heart when she hears about it later, so she told Chenghe last night to give him the land in the Magic City. One brother takes the house, the other takes the land, which is considered fair."

Ye Yaodong knew that Chenghe borrowed 3,000 yuan from him at the time and then bought the land, and he was beaten by his own father when he went back.

Then his eldest brother paid back the money Chenghe borrowed from him.

Although the land hasn't been demolished yet, it has appreciated a little. At that time, he also listened to him, and he was optimistic about the future. And now that Pudong is developing on a large scale, it's really hard to say whether they will have great fortune in the future.

Chenghe decided to buy this land at the time. Although Ye Yaopeng paid for it, there was causality.

Now taking this opportunity to return the land to Ye Chenghe is just right.

One brother got a house, and the other got the land he decided to buy at the beginning, which has infinite possibilities in the future, which is considered fair.

As for the boats at home, that naturally won't be divided until they are old.

Now one brother is in the provincial capital and the other is in Zhoushan. After they get married, they will follow their wives, which is no different from separating the family.

"This distribution is also good. After all, Chenghe decided to buy the land at the beginning. Although eldest brother paid for it, it was considered confiscated, but Chenghe decided to buy it anyway. Regardless of whether there will be great luck in the future, it is fair for one to take the house and the other to take the land now."

"Yes, even if the land is really valuable in the future, Chenghe bought it at the beginning. If it is divided like this, Ahai actually takes advantage."

"Well, the house Ahai bought now will definitely be valuable in the future. There is actually no difference between the two brothers, so how can it be calculated so clearly?"

"Anyway, neither of them had any objections last night."

"The two brothers are also adults..."

Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong also hurriedly returned to the room to rummage through the drawer.

Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions and was a bit puzzled. "What are you doing?"

"Where is the guarantee letter that Chenghe wrote to me a few years ago? At that time, he said that if he married Chen Xiuni, I wouldn't have to give a red envelope."

She laughed. "Are you planning to put it in a red envelope and give it to him?"

"Of course, when he gets married and kowtows to me, when he kneels to me, I will put it in the red envelope and give it to him together with the red envelope. Let his wife see his shameless virtue of asking me to borrow money and advance the red envelope."

"You already said he is shameless. If you put it in a red envelope and give it to him, he will only laugh."

"Then it must be stuffed in a red envelope for his wife to see."

Ye Yaodong rummaged through it and finally found it.

"Just this one, you prepare the red envelope in advance and put it in together."

"Got it, hurry up and take a shower and rest. You've been running around, you don't even know how many days you haven't showered."

"It's not smelly in the middle of winter, just wash it for the New Year today."

"I'll fetch water for you."

Lin Xiuqing took the opportunity to lock the passbook into the drawer together, and then went to fetch hot water for him.

Ye Yaodong took a shower in the room first, and then fetched another basin of water to wash his hair at the door.

At this time, Ye Chengjiang shouted, "... I don't want to get married so early, both of them are fools..."

"I think you are the fool..."

"Stop bothering, can you let me have a good New Year?"

"Fool who doesn't know good from bad..."

"Don't argue."

Ye Yaodong was washing his hair, his head already tilted to one side to listen to the excitement.

Ye Chenghe said proudly: "When we get married, we will be a couple, and I will envy you to death."

"Envy a de... there will be a time when you cry."

"Fart, there will be a time when you cry, that's about the same."

"Heh, wait and see, you two brothers are fools, getting married so early."

"Bachelor, don't talk to me..."

Ye Chengjiang sneered repeatedly.

It's still lively at home. Ye Yaodong sat comfortably basking in the sun after washing his hair, listening to them continue to quarrel and bicker. This is what it means to live a life.

Running around outside all year round is not called living a life, that's called being a beast of burden.

Just as he was squinting his eyes comfortably and almost falling asleep, an uninvited guest came.

"You guys are so lively here?"

No one paid attention to him, and he didn't mind, continuing to speak.

"Dongzi is back? Haven't seen you for several years and you haven't changed. I didn't see anyone when I came a few days ago. Did you just come back today?"

Ye Yaodong opened his sleepy eyelids, looked at Ye Yaohong, and continued to sleep.

"Where are you back from? You're so busy, busy until New Year's Eve, now you're resting, right? You earned a lot this year, right?"

Ye Yaodong ignored him, and he even found a stool and leaned over.

Ye Mu couldn't stand it and said: "Dongzi just came back and is very tired. Don't disturb his sleep."

"Isn't he already awake?"

"Where is he awake? He just fell asleep, and you are calling him. Don't disturb him, let him squint for a while."

"Everyone is playing cards and it's always noisy, how can he sleep? Get up and chat and talk. The sun will set in a while. If you sleep now, how can you sleep at night?"

As he spoke, he pushed Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong was just about to squint for a while, and hearing the noisy sound in his ear, he was also angry.

"Can't you understand human language? Don't you see I'm sleeping?"

This can be considered quite impolite.

The smile on Ye Yaohong's face also froze.

Ye Mu continued: "I already said Dongzi just came back and is very tired and is sleeping, but you still have to disturb him."

"Brothers haven't seen each other for many years, and you are so unwelcoming when I just came to the door?"

"How unwelcoming do you want others to be? I was sleeping well, but you had to shake me awake. Do you have anything important? Can't you wait until I wake up?"

He smiled awkwardly, and seeing everyone around looking at him, he couldn't save face, and instantly couldn't even smile awkwardly.

"Why, you've made it big, and poor relatives don't even have the qualifications to talk to you?"

Ye Yaodong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such a person, touched his hair that was already eight or nine percent dry, and turned directly into the house.

He also thought about sitting at the door to listen to the excitement and bask in the sun. His hair was just a crew cut, which dried easily, so he didn't use a hair dryer.

Unexpectedly, it attracted an annoying fly.

His posture of turning and leaving made Ye Yaohong's face even darker.

What is more embarrassing than being ignored blatantly and treated as air, and there are so many people watching here.

Doesn't it mean he didn't take him seriously?

His face turned black for a moment and then instantly turned red.

Ye Mu was still adding insult to injury on the side: "I told you, he is sleeping, but you still have to disturb him. When did Dongzi ever ignore poor relatives? Who in the village doesn't praise him for being sentimental and not forgetting his roots? You say this to make people laugh, it would be strange if he paid attention to you."

Ye Yaohong looked at Ye Mu with unkind eyes.

"Oh, you are still glaring at me, I am your aunt, and you still glare at me like this."

Ye Fu also frowned and looked at Ye Yaohong: "What are you doing? I was talking to you properly just now, but you had to go up and provoke Dongzi. Dongzi has been running around for several days and just came back and sat down. None of us dared to disturb his sleep, and I told you, but you didn't believe it."

"Heh, isn't it because you have money and look down on people?"

Ye Mu said impolitely: "What do you have that is worth looking down on?"

"Dog eyes looking down on people."

"You are the one who is blind and can't understand human language."

The people around had long been quiet watching the trouble on their side, and some people began to help and say.

"Ahong, this is where you are wrong. I reminded you just now, but you didn't take it seriously."

"Yes, all of us know that Adong is very busy."

"Adong is a busy man, whatever you have, you have to wait for him to wake up."

Ye Dasao said sarcastically: "If he doesn't talk to you, he looks down on poor relatives? There is no benefit in being your relative, and you have to get into trouble."

Ye Ersao followed suit, and also learned to look at people with slanted eyes: "Isn't it, no wonder everyone says that the ones who suffer are their own people."

Ye Dasao continued to exert her power: "You have been released for several months, you should have found a job and earned money. When will you pay back the money you owe everyone? It has been 8 years, should we calculate some interest?"

Ye Ersao echoed: "Yes, everyone's money didn't come from a strong wind, it was all earned hard. When can you pay back the money?"

There were others around who echoed: "You don't just owe relatives, you also owe everyone. We weren't at home and didn't come to the door before you were released, and we gave you time. Now it has been several months, what is the plan for paying back the money, you should tell everyone?"

"Everyone is in the same village, don't think about defaulting on this money."

Ye Mu said: "We didn't find trouble for you, but you came to the door to find trouble. Who are you showing your face to? I am your elder anyway, I think it is you who look down on our group of rural relatives who are in your way."

Ye Yaohong looked at the eyes of the people around him who were looking down on him, or disdainful, or looking at a fly, and couldn't stay, so he turned and walked away quickly.

It's not that he hasn't tasted the white eyes in the past few months. The village is full of women, who are the best at talking about the long and short of the family. As long as they see him, they don't talk behind his back and point fingers.

He usually avoids it if he can. This is the first time he has been pointed at in public like today.

He thought it had been several months, and everyone was tired of talking about it, so the matter was over.

Who knew that these relatives would not give any face at all and would directly dig it out to squeeze him.

A group of big men looked at him from ignoring to disdain, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He originally thought that he had not offended Ye Yaodong, and Ye Yaodong was now developed, so he would come up to pull the relationship first.

Unexpectedly, he ended up fleeing in a panic.
