Chapter 211

The old lady thought for a while, and then said, "Do you know about red tide?"

"I know, I just haven't seen it."

Actually, he had seen it in his previous life. Blue tears are actually a phenomenon of red tide, but blue tears look more beautiful.

Red tide is composed of plankton. Because the types of plankton are different, the colors presented by red tide are also different, mostly red or reddish-brown, and sometimes grayish-brown, brownish-yellow, blackish-brown, and bluish-green.

"As for red tide, it appears every few years, but the most serious one was 30 years ago. That time was also the largest scale we've had here in many years. At that time, the seawater in the surrounding sea area turned orange-red. Many fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish floated up on the sea continuously for several days without stopping. During that time, the seawater stank. The whole village didn't dare to go out to sea to fish, and the surrounding villages were the same."

"I heard from the old fishermen at the time that the cause of the red tide was various toxic algae. They would release toxins or gather on the gill covers of fish. The fish in the sea were suffocated to death like this, or poisoned to death. The fish that didn't die also carried toxins. For about a month, no one in our town and the surrounding area dared to eat seafood."

"And those toxic algae, on the day the red tide occurred, the seawater had only changed color. As a result, after only one night, the entire sea surface was full of various toxic algae, densely packed. The villagers were scared to death. For a whole month, we only ate vegetables grown in the fields, and we didn't dare to touch the goods in the sea."

"And then, how long did it last?"

He had encountered it many times on fishing boats in his previous life, but they were all detected in advance, and the fishing boats avoided it early, so he hadn't seen it clearly at close range. He had seen blue tears in the Pingtan sea area once.

"It took more than a week to automatically recede. At that time, the seaside was full of villagers every day. After the red tide receded, many fish and shrimp were stranded on the beach, such as whales, sharks, dolphins, and sea lions, as well as many large fish, but no one dared to pick them up and take them home. If you're not careful, you'll eat yourself to death. The villagers worked together to push them all back into the sea, which could at least serve as nutrients for the sea."

"Hmm, dust to dust, earth to earth, what comes from the sea goes back to the sea. Sure enough, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. Grandma, you are the lucky star of our family."

The old lady smiled, "The older people in the village all know it, and have seen a lot. Take these beans inside and let your mother stir-fry them, it's time to eat."

"Not talking anymore?" Ye Yaodong was a bit regretful, he had only listened for a while, "Then let's talk tomorrow, I'll go pour you a bowl of tea."

"I'll do it myself."

Just as he helped the old lady into the house, A-Guang greeted him like a host, "Dongzi, come and have a drink together, I thought you had already left."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Not drinking, my head hurt so much yesterday that I almost couldn't get up to go to sea, I just recovered."

"Are you going out to sea at night?"

"Nonsense, it's rare that the weather is good these two days."

"I heard it's going to rain again the day after tomorrow."

"Then we should go even more tomorrow, and rest the day after tomorrow. Aren't you going?"

"Going, I didn't go yesterday, I'm going out to sea tonight."

Both were surprised, actually caught a top-tier big yellow croaker weighing 6 jin.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to talk to his younger sister, but seeing that it was already late, he didn't know what his younger sister was doing alone in the room. Since everyone was there, it wasn't easy for him to knock on the door and go in, so he had to go back to eat first.

After eating, he still had to go to the literacy class. He didn't go yesterday, so he had to go today. Only by persisting could he learn more characters.

He went to the door and shouted for his two sons at the top of his lungs. He didn't know where they had run off to. He called for a long time without a response, so he had to look everywhere.

A neighbor nearby pointed him in a direction. He walked all the way there, only to find five or six children standing by the grass at the corner, all with their butts bare.

He was dumbfounded, his head full of question marks. When he walked closer and looked, it turned out they were all peeing.

Speechlessly, he slapped the eldest on the back of the head, "What are you doing?"

"Dad, we're having a peeing contest to see who can pee the farthest! I peed first place!"

Ye Yaodong had black lines all over his head, "What's the use of being first in peeing? It's not first in studying? Hurry up and put your pants on for me, go home and eat. I called for a long time and you didn't respond. Every day, as soon as I blink, you run around everywhere."

Ye Chenghu pulled up his pants and ran again, the little one also pulled up his pants and followed behind, and the other children scattered.

He followed behind leisurely, not knowing where he found a straw to bite in his mouth. Actually, he had also competed with people in peeing when he was a child, and he had also peed first place every time!

After the father and three sons returned home happily, they didn't expect that there was another uninvited guest at home.

"A-Dong, you're back..."

"Hmm." He aimed his eyes at Lin Xiuqing, asking, why is she here again?

"Cousin Meiying said her family is in difficulty and asked us to help. I said we didn't have money, but she insisted on waiting here for you to come back."

She was also helpless. The person just wanted to stay at home shamelessly and wait.

Wang Meiying frowned tightly, looking at Ye Yaodong with a sorrowful expression, "Dongzi, I know your family has money, just help me, pull me up, we will definitely pay you back when we earn money..."

Ye Yaodong had a big headache. This kind of person felt particularly disgusting.

She couldn't be considered a great villain, but she was just like a dog-skin plaster, thick-skinned, and pretended not to understand when people refused. It should be said that she was already shameless. Daily life had already been humble to the dust. This kind of person didn't care about being seen as a joke.

"Where did you see that I have money? I already said my family has no money, are you still planning to force a loan?"

"I saw you buying meat, and a few days ago you caught a boatload of sardines, and big fish..."

"Damn it, so what if I bought meat? I can't even eat meat now, right? I have to save money to lend to you, right? Is there something wrong with my brain or are you unclear?"

Where did this weirdo come from?

Wang Meiying just waved her hands repeatedly without embarrassment, "No, I didn't say you couldn't eat meat, just that since you have money, then lend a little, everyone is a relative..."

"Everyone is a relative, so I have to live frugally and give you money? I still have a pile of debts that I haven't finished paying off. I'll lend you shit, do you want it? I just got a boat, no money."

"I didn't want to borrow a lot either..."

"I think Yang Laosi being able to marry you home is really the ancestral grave smoking. He actually loves him so much, and tries so hard to arrange money for him everywhere, so that he can gamble without worries, pushing him to hell and death step by step. Don't you think that perhaps because of your indulgence, he can't stop gambling? You are really a good wife."

The more Wang Meiying heard, the more flustered she became, "I didn't, he forced me to come out to borrow money, I advised him..."

"And after advising him, he didn't listen, and you continued to come out to borrow money for him. As a result, the more you owed, the more people came to the door to collect debts, and then he ran away alone. You carry all the debts alone. After all, the money passed through your hands, and you borrowed it all. You also have to raise the children alone, and finally, you exhaust yourself to death. After he runs away, he finds another woman outside, living a comfortable life."

"Ah... no..."

"Yes, I'm telling you, you don't believe it. Think about it yourself when you go back. Anyway, I have no money to lend you. If you come to the door again to borrow money, don't come to my house. If you come, I'll tell my wife to take a broom and drive you out."

Save him from being so disgusted he can't eat.

Poor people must have something hateful!

If the words aren't said heavily, this kind of person won't understand. If she can't borrow it this time, after the embarrassment, she will still shamelessly come to the door to disgust people next time.

Once or twice is enough, who has the time to deal with her all day?

And she always catches the mealtime to come to the door, isn't it because she's afraid he's out at sea during the day and not at home, and Xiuqing can't make the decision, so she deliberately blocks him at this time.

In this day and age, people with a little politeness won't go to other people's houses at mealtime, to avoid the suspicion of begging for food. Whose food is blown by the wind?

And if his wife's belly gets big in a few months, and she still comes to the door from time to time, won't it be discovered? Women's eyes are sharp.

If she uses this to threaten, will he compromise?

Ye Yaodong thought more and more about it, but in an instant, he had already associated a lot, his face became more and more ugly, and he said to her with unkind eyes: "Alright, you can go, we are going to eat, we won't keep you."

After speaking, he skipped her directly to get food, out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing his unkind eyes, Wang Meiying shrank, stood there and hesitated for a while, and then went out with a sorrowful face.

Originally, the couple thought she had left directly, but they didn't expect that she actually turned to Ye Er Brother's house.

Don't ask how the couple knew?

Next door, Ye Er Sister-in-law was scolding Ye Yaohua there, her voice getting louder and louder, it was difficult for them to pretend they couldn't hear.

Lin Xiuqing frowned and put down her chopsticks, "Are they arguing? I'll go take a look."

"Look at what? My second brother doesn't hit his wife, it's good enough if he doesn't get beaten by his wife."

"I see Ye Ersao scolding quite fiercely, I'll go take a look and come back."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, and also put down his chopsticks and followed. In case they started fighting, it would be fine if they fought casually, but don't let his wife suffer along with it.
