Chapter 189

Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu both widened their eyes, watching such a dramatic scene, not knowing how to react.

Seeing their comical expressions, they actually both felt a bit like laughing...

Let them show off...

It was just a yellowfin tuna. Although they rarely appear in near-shore waters, it's not like they don't exist. Well, look at that—look, look, it looked its way into the sea...

The couple was still lying on the gunwale, their faces crumpled as if they were about to cry. Ye Fu felt it was a pity; a perfectly good big fish was shown off into the sea by them. That yellowfin tuna was worth over 200 yuan.

If he had been the one to drop the fish into the sea, he would have wanted to chop off his own hand.

"How could you not hold it steady and let it drop into the sea? What a pity. That was worth several hundred yuan. The money in hand actually dropped into the sea. Sigh..."

Ye Fu only felt regret and heartache, but he didn't expect that woman to start spraying at him indiscriminately, "Isn't it all because of you guys? Look, look, you looked the fish into the sea. You compensate me for my tuna!"

Is she sick?

Ye Yaodong frowned and looked at her as if she were a lunatic, "Auntie, we didn't say we wanted to see your fish, did we? It was you who wanted to take it out to show off, right? Who's to blame if your husband didn't hold it steady and it dropped into the sea?"

The middle-aged man hammered the gunwale with his fist in regret, cursing a few times. He didn't pay attention to them, still staring at the sea surface with heartache.

The middle-aged woman was so angry she could spit blood, but she had no way to refute, so she had to slap the middle-aged man's back fiercely. The thumping sound made him feel the pain just watching.

"It's all you, it's all you! You Li Laoer, who has no grip, you couldn't even hold a single fish steady. If you couldn't hold it steady, you shouldn't have taken it out. Your hands are so useless."

Li Laoer was already depressed. The money in hand had been dropped into the sea by him, and his heart ached so much it was dripping blood. How much money can one earn in a day? One fish was worth many days of work.

His heart was already dripping blood, and now he had to listen to his wife's unreasonable nagging. She actually dared to hit him? It hurt him to death, and his anger flared up immediately.

"Slap~"

He was so angry he turned around and slapped the woman directly, and kicked her fiercely, "You damn woman, isn't it all because you're unlucky? Letting you show off, letting you flaunt—a perfectly good fish, shown off into the sea by you..."

The woman didn't show weakness and rushed up to scratch his face fiercely, "Was it me showing off? It was clearly you showing off, loving to show off. Seeing them catch a big fish, you wanted to come over to see and show off the yellowfin tuna you just got."

【To be honest, I've been using Yeguo Reading to catch up on books lately. It has many sources, and the audio reading voices are great. It works on both Android and Apple.】

Caught off guard, Li Laoer had several bloody scratches on his face, and the pain made his eyes turn red, "You crazy woman, who said they wanted to show them? I'll beat you to death, you crazy hag. You dare to scratch me? You've gone too far..."

"You useless Li Laoer, I'll fight you to the death..."

The couple fought, one punching and kicking, the other desperately entangling and scratching the face. They were evenly matched. They had already lost money, so their tempers were high, and now they were even angrier. Neither showed any mercy to the other.

The father and son watched this dramatic scene and looked at each other. Should they persuade them, or not?

Just now, Ye Fu had only said one sentence and was snapped at, so he really didn't want to open his mouth.

A husband and wife fighting—it shouldn't be their business, right?

But they were fighting right next to them, which really affected their reeling in of the lines. They couldn't just pretend not to see it!

Before long, the woman was pushed to the deck, bruised and swollen. Li Laoer's neck and face were covered in bloody scratches from fingernails, and his clothes were torn, exposing half a shoulder.

The two were evenly matched.

He pointed at the woman on the ground and cursed, "I haven't taught you a lesson in a few days, and you've gone too far. You dare to hit me? Tomorrow, get out and go back to your mother's house..."

In this day and age, there are too few men who don't hit their wives. If the woman at home is disobedient, the man will teach her a lesson.

This is considered a social bad habit...

Even men who live off their wives hit and scold their wives at will at home, eating soft rice hard.

Like Ye Yaodong in his previous life, there are too few men with self-awareness.

Ye Yaodong couldn't bear to watch the man hit his wife either. Both husband and wife loved to show off; it wasn't just one person's fault.

"Uncle, don't hit her anymore. She's your wife after all. What if something goes wrong?"

"Do I need you to be nosy? If it weren't for running into you guys, would I be so unlucky? It's good enough that I didn't ask you to compensate me. Stop your nonsense... I didn't hit your wife, I hit my own wife. What's it to you?"

"Damn!"

Did he think he liked to be nosy?

Sail the boat further away, don't be in front of him. Even if they beat each other to death, it's none of his business!

Fighting in front of him made him feel unhappy, and it delayed his harvesting.

Ye Fu also frowned and said, "If your wife is ignorant, just teach her a lesson when you get home. There's still work to do now. While there's still time, why not trawl another net? Maybe you can drag another one up."

Li Laoer's anger didn't subside, and he glared at the father and son with red eyes, but he also felt that what they said made sense. He could teach his wife a lesson when he got home. There was still time now, so trawling another net was more important.

He kicked the woman on the ground again, "Get up, don't play dead. If you delay things again, I'll beat you to death when we get home."

The woman no longer had the fierce momentum of rushing up to scratch people just now, and under the man's cursing and urging, she slowly sat up.

"I'll sail the boat, you hurry up and cast the net."

Seeing her moving slowly, Li Laoer kicked her again. Ye Yaodong felt his anger rising. That's not how you hit a wife!

She's the wife who has been with you for decades, okay?

Really not a human being!

Ye Yaodong felt depressed watching, but he didn't speak again, lest he be annoying. No matter how much of a scoundrel he was, he never hit his wife.

Although Ye Fu had seen many men in the village hit their wives, their family didn't have the habit of hitting women. Usually, when encountering such things, neighbors would persuade them and help pull them apart, and this matter wasn't the woman's fault alone.

He frowned and said, "That's enough. It was your own fault for not holding it steady and letting it drop into the sea."

"Don't you think you're being too nosy?"

"Wasn't it you who specifically came over to show off? You can leave immediately." Ye Yaodong couldn't be bothered to argue with such a person and said directly to his father, "Dad, let's sail the boat a little further forward and continue reeling in the lines. Don't worry about this bird-brained person."

"Hmm."

Ye Fu also wanted to stay further away from them, out of sight, out of mind.

Li Laoer was still cursing there. Ye Yaodong shifted his gaze, pretending not to see, but discovered a piece of something floating under the other boat. It was long and irregular, looking to be 30 or 40 centimeters long. From afar, it looked like wood, but the color wasn't right—it was light gray, and it couldn't be a stone.

He only took one look and didn't pay much attention, glanced at the dog-man still cursing on the boat, and looked elsewhere. But his left eyelid kept twitching, and it was twitching wildly!

He rubbed his left eyelid and didn't take it to heart.

But for some reason, his heart was thumping. Suddenly, a piece of news he had seen flashed through his mind, and he fixed his eyes on the floating object on the sea surface again.

Gradually, this thing drifted slowly toward their boat with the current.

Ye Fu had just started the boat when he was stopped by Ye Yaodong, "Wait, Dad, don't sail yet. Come and see what this is?"

He wasn't quite sure.

"What?" Ye Fu stopped the boat in confusion and walked over, "What for?"

Ye Yaodong pointed his finger at the floating object on the sea surface, "Look, what is that?"

"What? Wood? Stone?"

"Is wood gray? Can a stone float?" he asked rhetorically.

"No," Ye Fu also felt it didn't look like either, "Then what is this?"

"Let's fish it up and see first."

The couple on the boat next to them also noticed them discussing the floating object on the sea, and also saw Ye Fu go to get the landing net.

The woman on the boat didn't pretend to be dead anymore. She rushed directly to Li Laoer and said, "They're going to fish up that piece of junk. You go fish it up too, intercept it."

The woman was actually holding a grudge. If they hadn't run into their boat and seen them pull a big fish up, they wouldn't have thought about coming over to see.

If they hadn't come over, their yellowfin tuna wouldn't have dropped to the seabed, and she wouldn't have been beaten.

She didn't appreciate them helping to speak up just now at all, and she didn't feel they were helping her speak up just now either.

Having her shameful side seen by others—she hated it too late.

Li Laoer had originally come over to show off, but ended up stealing a chicken only to lose the rice, and he felt very unhappy.

Seeing them was also annoying. A piece of junk of unknown origin—he didn't want to let them fish it up either!

Although it was of no benefit to him, he was happy to intercept what they wanted. Holding such a mentality, Li Laoer also picked up the landing net on the boat, only one step behind them.

But Ye Yaodong's landing net was short!

Ye Fu tried to fish for it and found he couldn't reach it. Then he discovered that the dog-day Li Laoer actually wanted to cut in and disgust them.

"What are you doing? We discovered this."

Li Laoer, with his scratched face, said disdainfully, "It's not your stuff. Things on the sea—whoever fishes it up, it belongs to them. You didn't fish it up, did you? You're not allowing me to fish it up?"

Ye Yaodong cursed angrily, "Damn, a piece of junk, you want to intercept it too? Which village are you from?"

He didn't have a good temper to begin with; he had just restrained himself. When it wasn't something excessive or none of his business, he would have a bit more tolerance. But this dog thing was clearly looking for trouble.
