Chapter 275
Before long, Ye's mother also came over, and then only her voice remained.
Ye's eldest sister-in-law also knew she was in the wrong, like a quail, she didn't even make a sound, while Ye's second sister-in-law retorted a few times, but was scolded even worse.
The couple went out to take a look, and then went into the house, it's good to get scolded to gain some brains.
Ye's mother herself forgot that she was also tempted and almost sent money too, fortunately she was persuaded by Dongzi, otherwise she wouldn't be able to scold people so righteously, it was estimated that she would also be scolded.
After a long while, Ye's father helped go to the pier to pick up goods and came back with Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua. It was possible that they had already been told on the road, and both of their expressions were a bit ugly.
Ye Yaopeng also rarely pointed his finger at Ye's eldest sister-in-law and scolded her severely, and even dragged her into the house. I don't know if he did anything, but the scolding didn't stop anyway.
Ye Yaohua was the same, pulling Ye's second sister-in-law into the house with a dark face, but he didn't hear any very severe sounds, instead, Ye's second sister-in-law's voice wasn't small.
For example: "You knew I gave the money, you didn't object at the time, now you're blaming me instead?"
Hearing Ye's father and mother at the door, their livers ached with anger, Ye's mother continued to scold: "Did the money in the house come from a strong wind? Taking so much money out to throw into the water, you don't feel heartache, and you're still so righteous, how much money can you earn..."
Ye's father shook his head, "Fortunately, I listened to Dongzi's words, otherwise you would have been foolish too."
Ye's mother suddenly had nothing to say again, just muttered a few more words, "One by one, they are so worrying, they have already separated the family, and they are far away, I can't manage them anymore, forget it, forget it..."
She carried the remaining fish goods from her feet, went to Ye Yaodong's house to get a kitchen knife and helped kill them, and after killing them, she put them at their door, and after they finished scolding, they could divide them however they wanted.
Ye Yaodong and his wife also went into the house, and they didn't care about the big commotion next door.
In the following days, the rumors in the village tended to become more and more intense, all talking about Ye Yaohong, even when several village cadres came out, they would be pulled by the villagers to ask if there was any news about Ye Yaohong.

Of course, they didn't have any substantive response.
Amidst the discussions of the villagers, the day of Ye Huimei's marriage arrived, and Ye Yaodong's family happily went to their old home to send her off.
Ye's eldest brother and second brother's families only forced a smile, even the children had their heads drooping, without any happy emotions. In the past few days at home, they had been keeping their tails between their legs, and a scolding was considered light if they weren't careful, and they would get beaten at every turn, living in dire straits.
It was also fortunate that there was no banquet for the daughter's marriage, only a table to entertain the son-in-law when she returned home, otherwise these two families wouldn't be able to entertain relatives and friends.
Seeing that his eldest and second brothers' emotions were not high, Ye Yaodong went out himself to carry his little sister out of the house. At the door, there was still a process of crying for marriage.
The daughter cried that she couldn't bear to leave her parents, and the son-in-law promised to treat her well. After a while, Ye's father and mother nodded with red eyes and tears, handing their daughter over to him.
After the ceremony was over, Ye Huimei also sat on the bicycle that Ah Guang had tied with big red flowers.
The two families were close, and Ah Guang's family had bought the "three turns and one sound", so they chose to get married by bicycle, not by tractor, nor by sedan chair or horse.
Along the way, the sound of firecrackers was constant, friends were surrounding them, those who had bicycles also rode them, and those who didn't tried their best to borrow them, stopping and starting to set off firecrackers.
A long line of bicycles was no less than the scene of picking up the bride with luxury cars in later generations. The village was rarely lively, and more than half of the villagers followed along to watch, eating wedding candies and melon seeds all the way to Ah Guang's house.
In local marriages, the bride's parents still didn't show up, and only two brothers went to send the bride and eat the wine, unlike decades later, when the groom's side had to invite all the relatives of both sides.
All the human favors on the bride's side fell into the pockets of the bride's parents, and they didn't have to spend money. Conscientious parents would give this money to their daughter as a dowry, but generally, they didn't.
Ye Yaodong gave her two hundred yuan the day before his little sister got married, which could be considered as her dowry money. Ah Guang had bought the "three turns and one sound", and it was hard for him to buy a hard item for her dowry, so he just gave her 200, letting her decide how to spend it.
On the day, he also helped Ah Guang block a lot of wine. During the cigarette-lighting session at the long-table banquet at night, everyone gave him face, and no one made things difficult for Ye Huimei, letting her pass smoothly. He was also almost drunk.
When he was walking home swaying, coincidentally, he actually ran into Lin Jishang and his group. It had been a long time since he had been out walking at night, no wonder he hadn't run into them for a long time.
His drunkenness also woke up half instantly, and when he saw the person, he even hiccuped, "What a coincidence, haven't seen you for a while."
"Heard today is your sister's wedding, congratulations."
"A few days ago, the first corruption case of reform and opening up was publicly tried, and the coastal areas began to crack down strictly. Have you read the newspaper?" Maybe it was because he had been drinking, he spoke more directly.
Lin Jishang paused, his expression also a bit serious, "People's Daily? Which issue? It's near the end of the year, there are a lot of shipments, I'm not home much, and I haven't had time to read the newspapers sent over these past few days."
"Public trial on January 17th, it was in the daily newspaper the next day, I suggest you go back and take a look."
"Thanks for the reminder!" After saying that, he first sent people to the pier, but walked with him instead, "I'll send you back."
"So polite?"
"Aren't we friends?"
"Hehe... should be a bit more low-key."
Lin Jishang laughed: "So that's why you didn't want to be in the newspaper, and pushed the boat along the current to your cousin?"
"Wasn't that my cousin-in-law bumping into it herself? I wanted to bite the bullet and take it at the time, and then find someone to pool money, that group of people in the village committee is not easy to offend. Speaking of ten-thousand-yuan households, you are more qualified, right!"
"Don't... I can't afford this title, better give it to your cousin."
"Heard the leader spoke, 'act vigorously and resolutely, grasp it without letting go', it's estimated that a batch of people will go in next. Our village's small pier, the tide hasn't arrived yet and can't dock, can't compare to the big port, and the villagers are ignorant, it should still be safe."
"Hmm, as long as you don't betray me."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Talking nonsense, I'm not that kind of person, what does it have to do with me how much you earn, I'm still counting on you to help me get good things."
Lin Jishang laughed, "That's good, what good things do you want."
"Is it easy to get a net hauler?"
Relying on manpower every day, and his sea transport is powerful, if he continues for another period of time, his arms will be ruined.
"I'll keep an eye on it, you shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"
"Not in a hurry, at least I won't go to sea until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you look at it, talk about it after the New Year, don't commit a crime against the wind, safety first."
"I have a count in my heart."
Chatting all the way to the door, Lin Jishang left, and Ye Yaodong also rubbed his temples and pushed the door to go in.
The house was quiet, he hadn't been back since he went out to send the bride this morning, he had been at Ah Guang's house all day, and when he was free after eating the wine, he was playing cards with a group of friends, it had been a long time since he had been lively with them.
The next day, when returning home, the old house had to hold a banquet, and Lin Xiuqing went over early in the morning with two sisters-in-law to help.
They didn't look like they had any injuries on the surface, they shouldn't have been beaten, the three Ye brothers were better in this point, they wouldn't beat their wives.
It was just that they still looked worried, and as soon as they went over, they were scolded by Ye's mother, "Today is Huimei's return home, don't give me a mourning face, so many people yesterday were embarrassed to talk about you..."
Anyone who might have thrown so much money into the water wouldn't be happy, but the two of them were also guilty and didn't dare to make a sound.
Ye Yaodong had a hangover and got up late, taking the two children slowly toward the old house, but ran into Chen Shuji who was also walking toward the commune.
He smiled and greeted, "Morning, Chen Shuji, going to work?"
"Morning? It's past nine or ten o'clock, you've rested for the New Year in advance."
"Not bad for these few days, there are many things at the end of the year, what about my eldest cousin's matter? Does the county still have plans to list him as a ten-thousand-yuan household?"
Since they ran into each other, he asked by the way.
Chen Shuji said unhappily: "Still a ten-thousand-yuan household? Thinking beautifully, but fortunately his wife was smart, otherwise if he hadn't been topped, everyone wouldn't know what a pyramid scheme is. Although pyramid schemes are not against the law, but I'm not afraid to tell you, the higher-ups have issued an announcement these past few days to strictly crack down on illegal crimes and punish them severely. The county is worrying about not having performance, it seems I heard they found out he was involved in smuggling crimes, and they are preparing to catch people."
"Found the person?" Ye Yaodong was surprised, when did the officials become so efficient?
"Heard so, specifically have to wait for the announcement from above, this matter is also what I heard when I ran back and forth to the county for meetings these past few days. It's you, so I mentioned it by the way, don't let the wind out, wait for the announcement broadcast, the village has been buzzing recently, the New Year is not going to be easy."
"Understood, then you don't need to continue looking for ten thousand?"
"Other villages have it, heard it's pig farming, and raised a lot of chickens and ducks, relying on their own labor to make a fortune, much more appropriate than his blind rumors of doing business. Don't need you either, you don't need to worry."
He laughed: "Then I'm relieved."
"Where are you going? Oh, your little sister got married yesterday, returning home today."
"Right, then you go do your work, won't disturb you."
Chen Shuji waved his hand casually and walked toward the commune by himself.
Ye Yaodong also pondered in his heart, since they had efficiently found the person, it should be a matter of these few days before he gets caught.
He thought as he walked, the two children ran ahead happily, anyway they were familiar with the village, Ye Yaodong just followed behind.
