Chapter 169: Lost in Greed (500 Monthly Ticket Bonus)
On the dinner table was another large bowl of stir-fried oysters with eggs. The two children only ate the eggs and didn't eat the oysters. Lin Xiuqing thought the oysters were too big; eating one or two was fine, but eating too many would make her nauseous, so she didn't touch them either.
As a result, the whole bowl of oysters went into his stomach. A bowl of oysters in the morning, a bowl of oysters at noon, and a bowl of oysters at night—adding them up, he ate dozens in one day. One can imagine how restless he was inside.
Afraid that his wife would dislike him, he scrubbed himself clean before going to bed and even took the initiative to coax the two little brats to sleep.
"Hurry up and sleep, close your eyes."
"Dad, pat my chest, Mom always pats."
Ye Yaodong followed suit. "Mm, hurry up and sleep!"
After a while!
"Dad, I want to pee..."
"Go!"
The eldest climbed off the bed nimbly. Lin Xiuqing turned on the light for him. After peeing and lying down, the second one said, "I want to pee too..."
"Come here."
He picked up the second one and held him to pee.
"Alright, turn off the light and sleep."
Snap, the light went off, and the room became pitch black again, with only the moonlight shining in, making it a little brighter.
"Dad, I want to drink water."
"Dad, I want to drink water too."
"Why do you have so many things?" After saying that, he got up again to pour them water to drink.
After they finished drinking, he turned off the light and lay down again. "Can you sleep now? Hurry up and close your eyes."
"Dad, I can't sleep."
"You have to sleep even if you can't."
"Dad, I want to eat maltose!"
The second one also sat up excitedly. "Maltose, maltose..."
Ye Yaodong's temples throbbed. He really wanted to beat this little brat to death! Unfortunately, he was his own flesh and blood.
"There's none left."
"There is, Mom put it in the cabinet, saying we can only eat a little bit a day. You give me another taste, and I'll sleep, otherwise I won't sleep."
Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Lin Xiuqing scolded directly, "What are you eating in the middle of the night? If you eat it, your teeth will rot tomorrow. Didn't you see that Ahai's teeth all rotted away last year?"
"Can't we change to new teeth? I saw his new teeth."
"If you don't protect your teeth well, they will still rot. Don't look for trouble for me, hurry up and sleep! Eat it tomorrow, otherwise I won't buy it for you ever again." Ye Yaodong pushed the big one and the small one back down.
The threat was still somewhat useful. The two didn't mention eating maltose anymore, but they rolled around on the bed, you move me, I kick you...
Ye Yaodong's head grew big. "Don't move around, hurry up and sleep, otherwise I'll beat you."
"Dad, when will you buy us something delicious again?"
"You listen to me, hurry up and sleep, and I'll buy it for you next time."
"Dad, everyone went to Great Grandpa's house to watch television tonight. Can't we go watch for a while too?"
"Go watch tomorrow, there are too many people at night."
"Dad, when can our house have a television?"
"In the year of the monkey, maybe. Televisions are too small now, we'll buy a big one later."
"Then do you have money?"
"You grow up and earn money for me to spend, then won't I have money?"
"That's still a long time..."
"Dad..."
"Shut up, don't talk anymore, hurry up and sleep!" Ye Yaodong couldn't bear it anymore. Fortunately, the other one's mouth wasn't nimble yet.
"No, Dad, I want to sleep with Mom..."
"I want to sleep with Mom too..."
Ye Yaodong: Dead!
"Your mom is not feeling well, shut your mouths, otherwise I'll sew them up with a needle."
"Where is Mom not feeling well? Does she need an injection? Mom is so unlucky..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't bear it anymore and went down to get the whip he had placed on the mosquito net, whipped the bed board, "Hurry up and sleep for your father!"
This time the two immediately stopped talking and lay down obediently.
Damn, I have to use a whip to make them sleep honestly.
Lin Xiuqing rarely didn't have to coax the children to sleep, happy to be quiet, lying on the side and sleeping on her own, not caring how he coaxed them.
Ye Yaodong patted the chests of the two, seeing that the two eyes were still as big as copper gongs, and scolded a few more times, and they honestly closed their eyes.
He kept patting, but didn't expect that while patting, he actually coaxed himself to sleep...
Lin Xiuqing listened to the slight snoring of the man and the two little ones lying side by side on the opposite side, and didn't expect them to sleep as soon as they said they would. She had originally thought about how to satisfy this man at night, but this saved trouble.
But this kind of thing wouldn't be forgotten by a man.
Ye Yaodong woke up in the middle of the night and was a bit annoyed. Why did he fall asleep?
After peeing, he lay down beside her with a rippling heart, one hand around her waist, slowly rubbing back and forth.
His wife was only 25 years old. Although her palms were a bit rough from work, her body was still very smooth and moist, and her figure was very slender, completely showing no signs of having given birth to children.
As he wandered back and forth, a large area of delicate skin on her waist was exposed.
He pressed tightly against her back, lightly pecking at the nape of her neck; the tingling, itchy sensation startled her directly awake from her dream.
She said softly with morning sickness, "What's wrong?"
She reached out and grabbed his hand that was moving around, turned around, but didn't expect it to be more convenient for him.
Ye Yaodong directly pressed up, and the wrist that was grabbed directly reached out and pressed her five fingers tightly above her head, kissing her chin, cheeks, and slowly moving to the corners of her mouth, and then covered her red lips...
"In the middle of the night..."
"It has to be in the middle of the night. During the day, you think the children will run in, and you think the sky is too bright..."
Dense kisses fell one by one...
Lin Xiuqing was a bit difficult to handle for a while, but her brain was still clear. "In my belly..."
"Don't go in, aren't there many ways to solve it? We're an old married couple, it's not like we haven't tried it? Listen..."
Lin Xiuqing followed him half-heartedly, letting him toss...
Until half an hour later, she pushed the man on her body away, rubbed her sore wrists, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Why so long... for half a day..."
Ye Yaodong grinned, a bit proud. "Oysters are a gas station for men, this saying isn't fake."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, took a handkerchief, wiped the dirt on her belly first, and then got up to get hot water.
It was sticky, how could it be wiped off just by wiping?
After solving the important matter, Ye Yaodong was satisfied and hugged his wife and closed his eyes.
All night until dawn.
Today, there was no need to check the ground cages, and there was no need to forage in the sea. It was rare to be able to stay at home for a day, and Ye Yaodong didn't go anywhere.
He just stayed at home to help boil water to cook mussels, cook sea melon seeds, cook small abalones, cook bull's eyes, and other shellfish.
Yesterday morning, everyone was busy helping to open oysters. In the afternoon, Lin Xiuqing was the only one slowly dealing with other shellfish.
Several large sacks couldn't be finished in a few moments, and she was the only one. The two sisters-in-law also had their own work to do, and also had to make nets, so it was impossible to be idle all day to help.
Her ability was limited, and it just so happened that he didn't go to sea today, so he helped to do it together.
As soon as he got up, he went to fill the water tank, and then slowly washed the shelled ones at the back door, while Lin Xiuqing sat in front of the stove, cooking these cleaned shellfish one pot after another and letting them cool.
Two people working together would always be faster than one. In the morning, they cooked all the shellfish in several sacks, and after eating at noon, they started busy digging meat again.
Ye Yaodong called the two children running wildly, and several nephews and nieces next door to help dig meat. It just so happened that today was Sunday, no school, and they were running wildly everywhere after eating.
"Work hard. If I go to town in a few days, I'll bring you each a box of maltose."
"Really, Third Uncle? Keep your word, you can't lie to us?"
"I won't lie to you, I keep my word."
The children were instantly excited. For the past two days, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang had been holding a box of maltose from time to time, holding chopsticks and picking it to eat at the door.
That maltose was in a liquid state, dipped with chopsticks and pulled into long threads, and then they opened their mouths to lick it. It looked so greedy.
When they went back to tell their mothers they wanted to eat it too, they were rewarded with a beating of bamboo shoots fried in meat, so pitiful.
Now that they had the opportunity to exchange work for sugar, of course they couldn't miss it. One by one, they rolled up their sleeves and sat around a pile of bamboo baskets at the door, digging meat. Everyone had a small soup basin on their knees, sorting and loading various kinds of shellfish meat.
With a pile of child laborers actively helping, it also reduced the burden on the couple, and the efficiency was greatly improved.
Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao were also happy to see it while weaving nets on the side. Finding something for them to do saved them from running around all day.
Every day when it was time to eat, they had to shout for people all over the village, and they didn't know how to come back to eat.
Ye Yaohua asked Ye Yaodong while helping to make nets, "What business do you think eldest cousin is doing? When we went to his house last night, good guy, not only did he have a television, but he even had a camera? He even asked me to help them take pictures of the whole family. That camera was so rare, my hands were shaking when I touched it, afraid of dropping it..."

"There's a camera too? So luxurious?" Ye Yaodong's tone was calm and waveless. They had already bought so many appliances, so one or two more didn't matter.
"Right, when we went, there was a radio playing there. Everyone's eyes weren't enough to look at it. They all said that eldest cousin had made progress after going out, and he couldn't forget the villagers after making a fortune. Uncle and Aunt and eldest cousin's family were dressed like the New Year, chatting with the villagers happily."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
It was a pity that he didn't go to watch the excitement last night. He could go see it at night.
"Who knows what business he's doing? Didn't he say he was doing fabrics? Just assume he made a fortune doing fabrics. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."
Ye Ersao said hesitantly, "Why don't we invest 500 yuan first to try? A month without doing anything, and there's 25 yuan. It's not a small amount. We can only earn this much money in a month by making nets from morning to night at home."
"But this... sounds a bit unreliable." Ye Yaohua was a bit hesitant.
Ye Yaodong listened to the couple talking, took a look, and held back his mouth that wanted to speak.
Some people, if you stop them, they will be angry that you delayed their fortune. Anyway, they were reminded yesterday.
Ye Dasao was actually very tempted. The visual impact last night gave her greed, and she always felt it was a pity to miss it. What if they could really make money?
"Why don't you try it? If you can give dividends on time, I'll add a share then."
Once this was said, Ye Ersao seemed to have support, and felt more confident in her heart.
She looked at Ye Yaohua. "Shall we try? Since eldest cousin is so rich, he definitely won't swallow our 25 yuan monthly dividends."
Ye Yaohua was hesitant again. He was an honest person who only knew how to work.
"Dongzi, what do you think?"
"I think it's unreliable. I don't feel at ease handing money to others and not knowing anything myself. This is completely gambling on whether people have that conscience. I don't trust him. You guys decide for yourselves."
Ye Yaohua was even more hesitant. He was an honest person who only knew how to work.
Ye Ersao had always looked down on Ye Yaodong from the bottom of her heart. Although there had been some changes during this period, the sensory perception of many years made her unable to listen to Ye Yaodong's words.
"How can we be relatives? Eldest cousin shouldn't cheat us of our money, right? His house is right there, the monk can run, but the temple can't. If he really greedily takes ours, we'll go to his door."
"Then take 500 yuan to try?"
"Should we take 1000 yuan? One thousand yuan can get 50 a month..."
"Will it be too much?"
Ye Yaodong listened and rolled his eyes, and looked at Lin Xiuqing.
She was also looking at him.
He simply pursed his lips at her, signaling her to remind them.
The couple still had this tacit understanding.
If they didn't listen to what he said, then let his wife say a few words. If they still didn't listen, then he wouldn't care about them.
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you be so anxious? If you are really tempted, you can take 500 yuan to try first. If it's steady, you can add more. Eldest cousin didn't say you can't add more, right? This is relatively safer."
"That's true."
"But I suggest you don't toss around. Where is there such a good thing as a free lunch in the sky? We don't associate much with eldest cousin's family."
Ye Ersao smiled. "We're relatives. They haven't cheated us for so many years. I'll try first. If it's steady, you guys can join too. Eldest cousin left early in the morning, and I don't know when he'll be back. I'll go ask now."
Lin Xiuqing shrugged at Ye Yaodong.
People who have been lost in greed can't be persuaded.
Ye Yaodong was too lazy to say anything. 500 yuan, if they want to try, let them try. Anyway, it's a year's income.
