Chapter 219: Bags of goods

~11 min read 2,117 words

Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law couldn't stand still either, threw the half-full sack in their hands onto the boat, and also rushed up to help Ye's mother pull and scold.

The several daughters-in-law of the sesame-faced woman also surrounded them, pushing and shoving, spraying dirty words...

The women's war looked even more exciting than Ye Yaodong's side.

Ye Yaodong's three brothers and Ye's father, with Zhang Lao Liu and his four sons, were also spraying saliva and scolding wildly, and Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao also rolled up their sleeves and rushed up...

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do..."

"You damn b, want to fight, right? Come, come... f***..."

Ah Guang and his dad came late, and were also around, and they all surrounded them...

"What for, what for, want to fight? F*** your mother... I'll call a group of people over..."

Those enthusiastic villagers hurriedly held back this group of young and vigorous youngsters, for fear that they would start fighting if they didn't agree.

The relatives and acquaintances of both sides gathered more and more, the circle got bigger and bigger, but they were all mainly persuading and pulling the frame. With so many people, many were still relatives, after all, the village was only so big.

There were people helping to pull the frame and persuade, so it was a bit difficult to want to fight collectively, and they could only push and shove and fight a war of words.

But the women's side was not so easy to end, the most worth watching, and the most intensified contradiction was this group of women.

Ye's mother shook off the people pulling the frame beside her, pushed the middle-aged woman with a face full of sesame seeds to sit in the water, and just wanted to rush up when she was pulled again. She could only open her mouth and continue to scold...

At this time, several village cadres also hurried in to help adjust, and the women's cadre also went to the women's side to adjust.

The matter of moving hands was stopped, but the matter of moving mouths was not so easy to stop.

Both sides of the women were there with their hands on their hips, pointing their index fingers at the air and scolding. At this time, the rural women were all fierce, and the men didn't have their sharp tongues.

Finally, the sesame-faced woman was pulled back by the relatives and friends to change clothes, and the scolding stopped.

Because the middle-aged man's hands were not clean, he also lacked confidence. Under the adjustment of the village cadres, he also cursed a few cruel words, carried the starfish he picked, and went to the shore.

Their side finally ended.

The side also approached the end, saying that they would take that octopus to the commune to cut and divide...

Other villagers watched the excitement with relish, and didn't care about picking starfish. This was not as important as watching the excitement, and bending over for a long time was also unbearable, just standing straight to watch the excitement and rest.

After the two scolding matches ended, the villagers started picking starfish again with their faces toward the water and backs toward the sky.

At this time, the water surface on the shore had no starfish, if they wanted to pick, they could only continue to walk outside the tide.

Many people had been soaking in the sea for too long, their feet couldn't stand it, and their waists were uncomfortable, so one after another, some went to the shore to rest.

Ye Yaodong didn't intend to continue picking either. He had already picked half a boat in the morning, and he was in no mood to continue. With so many people, the starfish below were not easy to pick.

He climbed onto the small boat directly, planning to pack all the starfish inside into sacks and lift them to the shore. These were enough to keep him busy for a while.

After he lifted another full sack of starfish to the shore, Lin Xiuqing came up anxiously and pulled him, "Why did you move your hands just now? So many people gathered together and scolded, pushing and shoving, I was scared to death, afraid that you would fight."

"Afraid of what, I won't beat him to death, I spent half a day picking half a boat, and he actually dared to steal mine in the chaos."

"But it looked too scary, and Mom fought with people..."

"Pushed once, that woman didn't stand still, it's fine, I'll go and pack the rest into sacks and carry them up."

"Don't pick, there are so many people below, the shallow water places have been picked almost..."

"Not picking, I just need to pack the ones on the boat and move them to the shore."

"That's good."

Lin Xiuqing was afraid that they would have conflicts again, and soaking in the water for too long was not good.

Ye's father and Ye's mother each picked a bag full, and after going up, they didn't prepare to go down again. They originally had a bit of rheumatism, and the rain boots were already soaked.

After going up, they called Ye Huimei up again, and didn't care about the other two sons and daughters-in-law. They couldn't stand it, and they would naturally come up after picking enough, no need to say.

"How many bags did Dongzi pick?"

"There are two full bags here, and half a boat below. He just went down and said he would pack the ones inside into sacks and move them up."

"Mm, move them all up, no need to pick, so as not to be fished in troubled waters by others, the ones behind are not easy to pick," Ye's mother looked at Ye's father again, "You go to the boat and help him pack together, be quick."

"Mm, okay, lift these starfish to the cart first. I see the acquisition point is open, go and ask how much they collect these starfish for? Push it over with the flatbed cart in a while, so as not to lift it."

"Hey, alright." Ye's mother looked happily at the several sacks of starfish on the flatbed cart.

The three of them picked, and arrived earlier than others, and the quantity was more than others.

Too many people came later, everyone's picking speed was not as fast as at the beginning, and the more people there were later, the harder it was to pick.

Ye's mother let Lin Xiuqing and Ye Huimei watch the flatbed cart, and she ran to the acquisition point, but didn't see Ah Cai, and looked around the shore again before seeing him squatting somewhere chatting with people.

Just intending to ask, she heard people around discussing there, saying it was two cents a jin, everyone was going to make a fortune today. Usually, these women work from morning to dark at home, and weaving nets for a day only earns 1 yuan.

Now there was no need to ask, Ye's mother ran back happily to tell them this good news.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were both very happy.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father carried one sack after another to the shore. Ah Guang and his dad were originally idle and came out to join the fun and incidentally pick a few, and also helped them pack together.

Many people have fast speed.

While they were busy, some villagers also couldn't stand the soaking of seawater, and one after another stopped, some rested halfway and came over to watch them pack goods.

"When did Adong discover it? Actually picked so many, our whole family went into battle and only picked one or two bags."

Ye Yaodong looked at the person who spoke, it was the neighbor next door to the old house, he explained casually, "Came out to see the tide in the morning, thinking about whether I could collect a ground cage, didn't expect the pier to be full of starfish."

"Good luck, discovered it so early, and picked so many, made a fortune again..."

"Who says not, this is picking several hours more than others, no wonder so many..."

"Ye Lao San, your family's life looks more and more prosperous, only a few months, there are two more boats in the family, the future son-in-law's family also has a boat, the whole family is earning money there, incredible... incredible..."

Ye's father was radiant with joy, "These are all because the children are promising, your family is not bad either, heard you bought a bicycle and a drama box, when will you take it out and put it at the door, let everyone listen..."

When people were praised by Ye's father like this, the smile on their face deepened, but they were very humble in their mouths, "Oh, just a drama box, not a TV, what's so rare, that eldest nephew of yours is promising, heard the business is doing very big, many villagers went to his house this morning to ask about the situation, wanting to find him to buy shares..."

Ye Yaodong was surprised when he heard this. Is the stall laid out so big? Not only attacking relatives, but also not planning to let go of the villagers?

In the previous life, I didn't hear that the villagers bought shares in his place. Could it be because Ye's second sister-in-law invested money generously, making him see the business opportunities of the villagers, and preparing to do a big job?

"Uncle, how do you know the villagers want to buy shares?"

"Isn't it what your second sister-in-law promoted when she went back to her mother's house? It spread throughout the village this morning, the business at your eldest cousin's place is stable, the interest is high, and it's punctual..."

Damn... his eldest cousin found a good spokesperson!

No wonder it's different.

Money sent to the door, who would push it out?

Ye's father asked suspiciously, "Don't you know your second sister-in-law invested money?"

"Know, I think it's unreliable, but they want to earn this money," Ye Yaodong shrugged, suddenly thinking of something, and hurriedly warned his father, "Don't let Mom invest money, don't believe it."

"She was also nagging there in the morning, and will go to your second sister-in-law's place after eating at noon, saying she wants to ask..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but hold his forehead, his second sister-in-law is really powerful!

"Don't listen to second sister-in-law, she only took one month of interest. Sent 500 yuan to others, only received 25 yuan, she felt that others were good and reliable. Dad, you think about it, how many months will it take to get back 500 yuan if you get 25 yuan in installments every month? What if they run away in these few months? You ponder it..."

After he mentioned it simply, he continued to pack starfish, and Ye's father also frowned...

The neighbor of the old house also frowned, "Seems a bit unreliable..."

Ah Guang rolled his eyes on the side, he knew it was unreliable as soon as he heard it, it was just people who were blinded by interests.

Couldn't help but interrupt, "You know it's unreliable with your butt, using your own money to pay you interest, who knows how many months it can be paid? How much is the interest of usury? And, have you seen what business they are doing?"

"Then I have to go back and talk to your mother properly, and let her talk to your second sister-in-law..."

"Stop my mother, as for second sister-in-law... good words are hard to persuade the dying ghost, you figure it out."

If you say too much, people feel you are blocking her way to make money!

If it weren't for his father saying his mother was also moved, he wouldn't want to waste this saliva with his father.

"How are you talking, we are all one family..."

Ye Yaodong pouted and didn't say anything, continuing to do his work.

By the time they finished packing all the starfish and carried them to the shore, there were not many villagers in the water, and the tide was slowly rising.

Only some who were particularly difficult at home were reluctant to leave, earning a few cents more, earning a few cents more.

The acquisition point also lined up in a long queue, everyone was happy and discussing how much they could sell, hoping that such things would come more in the future.

This is much more than carrying goods at the pier for a day, and it is easy, and money comes fast.
