Chapter 303: Send it in

~11 min read 2,067 words

It drizzled for two consecutive days, and only today did it clear up. The road was full of puddles and mud, and one step out was a foot of mud.

Adults disliked it, but children liked stepping in puddles very much, especially naughty boys.

The two children hadn't played at the door for long before their trouser legs were covered in muddy spots. The shoes were still okay, as they were all wearing rain boots.

Lin Xiuqing was scolding one and shouting at the other inside the house...

Ye Yaodong was sitting at the door idly, crossing his legs and rocking in the recliner, but he saw a man who was both strange and familiar walking over from afar. His brows instantly knitted as if he wanted to pinch a fly to death.

Why did this gambler come?

He got up and knocked on the window. "Aqing, go into the room, don't come out, someone is coming."

"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing nervously took the two children into the room immediately.

The person got closer and closer, and even greeted him with a smile. "Adong, hehe, have you finished eating?"

"Finished." He sat back in the recliner and said calmly.

"Are you free? Let's chat for a few sentences?"

"What's the matter?"

The person glanced at the house being built in full swing on the empty space next to him and smiled. "Hehe, there are quite a lot of people around you now, it's quite lively. There weren't many people before, no wonder you could hide for so long. Now it's quite crowded."

Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, this guy was pointing at something.

"What do you want to say?"

"I heard that two pregnant women were caught in the neighboring village a while ago. Be careful, it's getting stricter now, and the countryside inspections are becoming more frequent, checking tighter."

Ye Yaodong stood up in annoyance, looking at the gambler with no bottom line in front of him. "What does cousin-in-law want to do?"

"Hehe, the expenses at home have been too high recently, and my hands are a bit tight. I want to ask you to help me, to turn around."

"Oh, so you were threatening me just now?" He looked at this gambler coldly.

He guessed that his aunt must have told Wang Meiying two days ago, and those two were mother and daughter, so this gambler also knew and wanted to come to the door to extort a sum from him.

Damn it!

"No, no, no, everyone is a relative, and we should help each other if we can. How could I do such a thing?"

【To be honest, I've been using the source-switching app to read and follow updates lately. It has many voices for reading, and it works great on both Android and Apple.】

Forget it, bullshit relative.

"My hands are also quite tight recently. The machine on the boat is broken, and they said it needs to be completely dismantled for inspection. I don't know if it can be repaired. If it can't be repaired, I have to change to a new one, which will cost a large sum of money."

"Hey, I heard that you have been making a fortune for the past few months. It's just repairing a machine, how can you be short of this little bit? Just help me, I'll only borrow 100 yuan, and I'll pay it back."

Damn it, taking advantage of the fire. Ye Yaodong endured the urge to punch him in the face.

"No 100, where would I have money? I just built a house, bought a boat, and still owe a debt, and have to repair the machine. If I had money, when my aunt came over to ask me to do a rotating credit association two days ago, I wouldn't have refused."

"Sigh, every family has a scripture that is hard to read. Everyone is one of our own, just help me, just this once, okay?"

Ye Yaodong endured his anger and pretended to be full of difficulty. "The money at home is managed by Aqing, and I don't know if it's enough. She is sleeping after eating now. When she wakes up, I'll ask again. Why don't you wait for a while?"

"Alright, then I'll come back in the evening!"

Looking at his back as he left decisively, Ye Yaodong's liver hurt with anger.

Whether they are relatives or not, the gambler might not care.

Ye's eldest brother and second brother and their wives were all sitting at the door weaving nets and chopping wood, and they all heard it, but it was not easy to speak.

After the person walked far away, the eldest brother asked, "How did Lin Jianqiang know?"

"Aunt must have said it? When she came over to ask me if I wanted to do a rotating credit association the day before yesterday, she saw Aqing's belly."

"How could you be so careless? It's almost time..." The second brother also frowned. "He doesn't look easy to deal with."

The eldest sister-in-law also asked with concern, "It seems it won't be long before the date, right?"

"They said after May 1st, there is still almost a month."

"Why don't you go back to your mother's house for a while?" The second sister-in-law suggested.

The eldest sister-in-law echoed, "Yes, I heard that their family owes a lot of money, and they have borrowed money everywhere, and even added many shares to the rotating credit association."

"They owe us 50 yuan, and I have gone to the door to urge them to pay it back several times, but they have always been like dead pigs not afraid of boiling water, saying they don't have it. It's really infuriating."

"If you don't lend it, he shouldn't report it, right? Otherwise, everyone's saliva could drown him."

Ye Yaodong scratched his head irritably. If 100 yuan could buy a life, then he would give it. He was just afraid that if he was too straightforward, his appetite would be spoiled.

Today he can open his mouth to ask for 100, tomorrow he can ask him for 200, and the day after tomorrow he can directly open his mouth to ask for 500!

Then should he give it or not?

It's really like a dog.

"Let me think..."

He frowned and went straight into the house, the discussion behind him constantly entering his ears.

"I heard that Chunfang on the side of the road at the entrance of the village also has a big belly, and her family already has two daughters..."

"Sigh, no son is not okay..."

"Yes..."

After entering the house, Ye Yaodong told Lin Xiuqing about it. Lin Xiuqing was also worried, looking down at her towering belly. "Why don't you give it?"

"Look in the evening, stabilize him first, you pack up everything that should be packed up, don't be in a hurry when the time comes."

"Yes, I have packed them up and put them in, even the new scissors have been boiled and put away. Why don't you call a tractor to send me back to my mother's house now?"

"The tractor is too bumpy, I'm afraid you can't stand it, don't worry." He casually comforted her to slow down her anxiety. He already had an idea in his heart.

"Mm."

In the evening, the sky had already darkened. When the whole family was eating, Lin Jianqiang really came to the door on time.

"Hehe~ eating, the food is quite good, there are fish and dried goods."

The couple didn't say anything, continued to eat on their own, and only the two children looked up curiously.

Lin Jianqiang talked to himself again, "You eat slowly, don't worry, I'll just sit and wait for a while."

Affecting his appetite, Ye Yaodong took two bites and put down his chopsticks, saying straight to the point, "Aqing said that the family's human expenses have been high recently, and there are several payments for the association money that have just been paid, and they are all dead shares, so they can't be bid. The hands are really difficult, and can only move 50 yuan."

The smile on Lin Jianqiang's face faded a bit. "It's alright, then take 50 yuan to turn around first, it can last for two days. Can you help me borrow another 50 from somewhere? Hehe..."

Ye Yaodong cursed him fiercely in his heart, pretending to be very difficult on the surface. "It seems that everyone in the village is quite difficult this year. After being messed up by A-Hong once, everyone is afraid, and money is not easy to borrow."

"That's why I want to ask you to help, hehe, you must have a way..."

"Let me think of a way..."

"Mm, alright, then I'll come back in two days..."

Lin Xiuqing silently went into the house to get money, and Lin Jianqiang continued behind her, "This belly, the months are not small..."

Ye Yaodong didn't answer, took the money and told him to get lost quickly!

Lin Jianqiang took it with a beaming face and didn't stay long.

Watching the person go out, Lin Xiuqing said worriedly, "It looks like he will come again in two days... can't stop..."

"Mm, I know, you eat your meal, I'll go out for a while."

Ye Yaodong followed along with a suffocated mood. He didn't know if he could have a harvest, but it was better than waiting at home and letting people come to the door to threaten him.

He followed Lin Jianqiang from afar, watching him walk happily toward the outside of the village, and felt relieved in his heart. The gambler just couldn't have money in his hands. Once he had money, how could he endure it?

The sky gradually darkened. Ye Yaodong followed lightly and silently followed to a small house behind the health center of Dongqiao Village. After Lin Jianqiang walked near, Ye Yaodong also approached carefully.

Under the side window, he clearly heard the shouting inside, "Oh, Za-er, this is a rotten hand in the second round..."

"Hahaha, I'm Za-qi..."

"Ah? Tian-gao-jiu... eating everything..."

"Come again, come again... bet bet bet..."

This place is easy to identify!

After confirming, Ye Yaodong hurriedly walked back, then walked faster and faster. When he reached the main road, he started jogging. It shouldn't be scattered for a while.

After running home in a hurry, he pushed his bicycle and walked out. Lin Xiuqing thought he was going to the literacy class, so she didn't ask much.

Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle to the town, pedaling fast, and went to the border defense station.

Report, of course, report!

My money is not so easy to take!

Still dare to threaten him!

Rotten gambler, let him go in and squat for ten days or half a month, let's see how he asks for money.

Giving him 50 yuan was just thinking about whether he could fish.

After handling the matter, he felt relieved in his heart.

In the afternoon, he pondered how to solve this matter?

Hesitating whether to break his dog leg so he couldn't report it, or let him go in and squat for a few days?

After thinking about it, let him squat for a few days first, delay for half a month, otherwise if he breaks his leg directly, he can still instruct his wife to come out.

Now that the crackdown has started, the police station will never let it go. Minor crimes are severely punished, and major crimes are shot!

If he comes out, it won't be too late to break his leg and let him lie down for a few months.

As for reporting him when he goes in? Not yet. Reporting has no benefits, and he doesn't know it's him messing around, so he'll just squat for a few days. When he comes out, he can knock on him again to turn the tables.

Moreover, if he is really reported, the villagers will definitely know when entering the village. The first one to run is Chunfang at the entrance of the village.

He can still buffer a bit, which is better than being controlled by others all the time.

At worst, they are close to the shore, and he can take Aqing on a boat. He doesn't believe those people can drive a boat. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
