Chapter 272

Because of Ye Yaodong's words yesterday, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were truly curious: what could be wrong with the eldest cousin's wife?

After tidying up the house early in the morning, they went together to Ye Yaohong's house.

They calculated in their hearts that even if nothing was wrong, going over to sit for a while, talking more with the eldest cousin's wife, and getting closer to build a good relationship wouldn't be bad. Maybe if she leaked a little bit through her fingers later, it would be enough for them to live on.

They didn't call Lin Xiuqing when they left this morning; they knew that even if they did, she wouldn't go, so they just greeted her and left.

Lin Xiuqing was hanging clothes at the door and didn't care at all. Anyway, she would know what happened when they came back in a while.

Ye Yaodong was taking the two children to water the vegetable patch and didn't pay them any mind either.

They all thought they would be gone for a long time, at least they would have to sit down and talk for a while, but they didn't expect them to return so soon.

"Back so soon?"

The eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law looked hesitant and just responded casually.

This expression left the couple puzzled.

"What's wrong? Why that expression? Didn't you go to talk to the eldest cousin's wife? Back so soon?"

"There are many villagers surrounding our cousin's house, all wanting to invest money. We were thinking, should we invest now too? I heard he's leaving in a while."

"Huh? Didn't he say he came back for the Winter Solstice? The county is still waiting for him to come back to be in the newspapers, right? Why is he in such a rush? Why is he leaving so suddenly?" Lin Xiuqing asked in surprise.

The eldest sister-in-law frowned and said, "I don't know. It seems I heard there's another urgent matter to deal with. He said he might find time to come back in a few days, or maybe after the New Year. Who knows? Everyone is thinking of investing money early so they can get their money early next month."

Ye Yaodong raised an eyebrow. "Did you see the eldest cousin's wife?"

"Not really. I heard she caught a cold and had a fever last night and couldn't get up today."

The corner of his mouth twitched. Was she beaten so badly she couldn't get out of bed?

"Then you didn't go to the bedside to take a look? Show some concern?"

"Our eldest cousin told us not to go in, saying he was afraid of infecting us."

Lin Xiuqing said, "Well, he'll be back in a few days anyway, what are you worried about?"

"Isn't it because we want to be early? He might not come back next time. He said he wants to earn more money during the New Year; the New Year is the best time to earn money."

The eldest sister-in-law added, "He said it doesn't matter if he's in the newspapers or not; earning money is more important, and he doesn't care about that little reward. Even if he's not at home, the interest can still be collected at his house; he will send money back in advance."

Yesterday they were still saying they would wait until after the New Year when he was in the newspapers, and now, after being persuaded by others in a few words, they are so impatient?

It's really hopeless!

Ye Yaodong looked at his two brothers who were sunning themselves and frowning. "I suggest you don't invest any more money. Earning money isn't easy. If you're lucky, you can earn 50 yuan in interest on one fishing trip; if you're unlucky, you can earn it in two. Why risk so much money?"

His eldest brother and second brother are both honest people, especially the second brother, who is particularly simple and honest. Both of them have good personalities, otherwise, he really wouldn't want to waste his breath; 2000 yuan is not a small amount.

This is the last time. If they don't listen to him, then forget it.

Who wants to be like an old nanny, lecturing for half a day, only for people not to listen? It's thankless work.

The eldest brother and second brother were very appreciative and nodded. "Dongzi is right. Let's just earn money honestly and not look for shortcuts."

"Hmm, the money you've already invested is quite a lot, so let's leave it at that."

The second sister-in-law wrinkled her face. "Really not investing anymore?"

"It's enough. We have to earn for a year to get one thousand yuan."

"Then… alright then."

Having solved the problem of his sister-in-laws who had straw for brains and reduced the losses for his two brothers' families, Ye Yaodong was still uneasy and went to the old house; he was worried his mother's brain had also been flooded.

Today's situation was clearly an attempt to collect a wave of money and then run away directly.

When he arrived, he happened to hear his mother talking to a neighbor at the door. The neighbor was there to send money and was even inciting his mother, and his mother actually had an interested expression.

Damn it, everyone is so tempted; no wonder they say there are too many fools and not enough scammers.

He went straight up, pulled his mother into the house, and warned her: "Don't you go joining in the fun blindly. Our eldest cousin isn't doing business properly. Once he rolls up this wave of money, he's probably going to run away directly."

"Huh?" Ye's mother was shocked. "Really? Didn't he earn a lot of money and is about to be a ten-thousand-yuan household? Why would he run away?"

"Everyone is sending him money; once it's all collected, he'll be a ten-thousand-yuan household. Even if he lies down and does nothing, he's still a ten-thousand-yuan household. I'm telling you, you have to listen; don't just listen to people spreading rumors. Just watch, it won't be long before he's finished. I estimate there will be results before the New Year."

Ye's mother was skeptical. "How do you know?"

"I guessed!"

Ye's mother immediately glared at him. "Guessing blindly, I thought you really knew something. Many people have already received interest."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but feel a headache. He told his mother the truth, and she actually didn't believe him?

It was only because it was his mother; he hadn't spoken so bluntly to anyone else, seeing through it without exposing it.

"Anyway, don't get involved blindly."

Ye's father was also pondering there. "Dongzi, is what you said true?"

"Eight or nine out of ten he's going to run away. Otherwise, if the county finds out the details, he won't be able to run, so yesterday he came back and said he wanted to spend the Winter Solstice, but today he said he's leaving."

If it hadn't been difficult to buy a ticket on short notice, he probably should have run away last night. He must have been blocked by villagers coming to the door this morning, which is why he thought about grabbing one last wave before running away.

Ye's father nodded and also instructed Ye's mother, "Listen to Dongzi. He knows more about crooked paths."

Ye Yaodong: Dead!

What does it mean that he knows more about crooked paths!

Depressed!

"That's true, then forget it." Ye's mother also echoed, and the heart that was suddenly eager to move was pressed back down.

Ye Yaodong stayed for a while and then went back. He didn't expect to run into Ye Yaohong on the way back, who was carrying a briefcase in his hand.

"Is Brother Hong leaving?"

Ye Yaohong turned to look and smiled. "It's Adong, where are you coming from?"

"Just came from the old house. Why are you back in such a hurry?" He asked, knowing the answer.

"There are too many things to do; I can't be away for a day or two. Look, I came back for one night and have to leave again."

"Don't even want to be a ten-thousand-yuan household anymore? The village committee made a mistake last time and reported me as a ten-thousand-yuan household. Fortunately, the eldest cousin's wife is shrewd and pulled people to their house again, haha."

The smile on Ye Yaohong's face instantly froze, his complexion became somewhat ugly, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"I have things to do, I'll go first."

Ye Yaodong looked at his back as he quickened his pace and walked away in a hurry, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

As a result, before evening, the second sister-in-law returned from outside, frowning and talking to the eldest sister-in-law at the door.

Lin Xiuqing was in the room kneading glutinous rice flour, preparing to make Tang Yuan, and couldn't spare her hands, so she called Ye Yaodong to go to the door to collect the clothes, and happened to hear them talking.

"I heard the eldest cousin's wife was beaten, and beaten very badly. Her face was bruised and swollen, and she couldn't get out of bed. I heard there was even a cut on her forehead."

The eldest sister-in-law widened her eyes. "Really? Everything was fine, why was she beaten? When did this happen?"

"I heard from their neighbors that yesterday evening, sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from their house, mixed with cursing. Otherwise, on normal evenings, there would be the sound of the television, and it would be turned up super loud. Yesterday, for the first time, we didn't hear it."

"Did you hear what they were cursing? Why would he beat someone as soon as he got back?"

"They said something about a ten-thousand-yuan household? They said the cousin's wife was crying and cursing there, saying she was clearly doing a good deed, doing it for his own good, and so on. It seems it was about the ten-thousand-yuan household matter."

Now the eldest sister-in-law had no bottom in her heart. "Isn't this a good thing? Why was she beaten? No wonder he blocked us from visiting this morning."

"Exactly, how glorious it is to be a ten-thousand-yuan household..."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. After collecting the clothes, he intended to go into the house, but was stopped by the eldest sister-in-law.

"Adong, do you know something? Otherwise, why would you have told us to go see the eldest cousin's wife yesterday?"

"I guessed. Didn't I tell you that the eldest cousin is unreliable? Even if the title of ten-thousand-yuan household is given to him, he wouldn't dare to accept it. Just wait and see."

The two of them knew they were in a panic now.

"No way, right?"

"He must just be too busy with business, right? That's why he didn't have time to show off..."

"Isn't it a good thing for a normal businessman to be in the newspapers? Once in the newspapers and having a reputation, isn't business easier to do?"

"This..."

The two were speechless.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them anymore. Spend some money to buy a lesson and grow some brains.

"What did they say?" Lin Xiuqing heard the conversation at the door from inside the room.

"I heard the eldest cousin's wife was beaten yesterday."

Lin Xiuqing was only slightly surprised, after all, she had been vaccinated by him. "She was really beaten?"

"Hmm, I heard she was bleeding and couldn't get out of bed."

Now there's no need to consider whether to wear red or purple; it can't be bright red and purple, but it's still colorful...

"Is it that serious?"

"The hornet's nest has been poked, and I don't know what he took the money to do? It's probably not a good thing, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry and beat her so hard."

Lin Xiuqing frowned. "Isn't it good to live an honest life, or do some small business?"

"Once something happens, we'll know what he took the money to do."

After Ye Yaodong put down the clothes, he went to wash his hands, then rolled up his sleeves and helped out too.

"Come, little ones, Daddy will teach you how to roll balls..."

As soon as Lin Xiuqing heard these three words, her ears turned bright red, and she turned to glare at him.

Ye Yaodong giggled and winked at her, and said to the children: "Shout the slogan, roll the balls, earn big money."

"Mmm mmm... roll the balls, earn big money! Daddy, I like rolling balls..."

"Your daddy likes it too..."

"I like it too..." Ye Chengyang was not to be outdone.

"Be serious."

Lin Xiuqing felt that the two sons would sooner or later be led astray by him.

Clearly very serious words, when said by him, all became unserious.

"Where am I being unserious? Clearly, it's your own thinking that's unhealthy and you've thought crookedly," Ye Yaodong laughed. "Roll more, we'll boil them later to offer to the Kitchen God and his wife, and we'll earn big money next year."
