Chapter 351
As soon as Ye Yaodong's boat docked at the pier, he got off before unloading the cargo.
He wanted to see how long the queue at the pier was, whether he should leave someone to watch, and have the others go back to eat first, then come back to unload and weigh when there were fewer people, to save a group of people from waiting there hungry.
He had returned late in the past few days and only had to wait for one or two people before it was their turn. Today, there were many people and goods at the pier, so there was no need for everyone to wait there.
As a result, just after going ashore, he heard everyone chatting about gossip while queuing, and it even involved him.
"Eh? A-Dong, you're back? Oh my, hurry home and take a look—no, go to the Xu family's house and take a look. The Xu kid stole your ambergris..."
"Ah?" Ye Yaodong looked confused. Did the Xu kid mean Xu Laifu?
If he hadn't checked it last night, he would really be startled right now.
However, wasn't the thing Xu Laifu stole yesterday wood?
Wasn't it everyone mistaking it for ambergris?
No one has discovered it's fake yet?
That can't be right?
What he made was only for viewing from a distance; only a fool wouldn't recognize it up close.
And why did it suddenly involve him?
A kind-hearted auntie saw his bewildered and inexplicable expression and said sympathetically, "You don't know yet, do you? Xu Laifu picked up a piece of ambergris on the beach yesterday. He just admitted that he was instructed by his uncle to steal it from you. Many villagers heard it."
"Did you pick it up from the sea, but didn't recognize what it was, so you threw it around, and then it was stolen by the Xu kid?"
"Ah?"
Why did he understand less and less the more he heard? What's the situation? What uncle instructed him? Why did it get so complicated?
"Oh my, why are you so muddled? Don't 'ah' anymore, hurry back. That's a treasure. Before I came out, I saw your mother running to the Xu family in a hurry."
"My mother ran to the Xu family?"
"Yeah, your mother ran to the Xu family in a rage, and there isn't a single man in your house. Hurry back."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yaodong couldn't care about figuring out the ins and outs. He hurriedly ran to the boat to tell his father, and incidentally asked his brother-in-law to help watch the cargo on the boat.
He had his brother-in-law run to the Xu family with them. He was afraid that if they ran too slowly, his mother would suffer a big loss, as that family was all rascals.
A-Zheng and Xiao Xiao were also full of loyalty. They threw the cargo on the boat to his brother-in-law to watch and followed them.
Halfway there, they met Xiao Liu, who had been asked by Ye Mu to come out and find people. Ye Yaodong listened to this half-grown boy recount what had just happened, and couldn't help but laugh.
What a big misunderstanding!
Could he say the Xu family pitted themselves?
Now, he wasn't in a hurry anymore. So many neighbors watching had a strong sense of justice, feeling he had suffered a big loss, and were all on his side.
Plus, the Xu family had offended the villagers watching the fun yesterday, and there was the accumulated dissatisfaction of the neighbors. They had long been detestable.
His mother was also full of firepower and definitely wouldn't suffer a loss.
Ye Fu was also stunned. Could it be this dramatic?
It was clearly fake, but the thief family stupidly confirmed it was real, and the neighbors were enthusiastically asking them to go and seek justice? To demand the return of the item?
And then let the Xu family compensate them with a real piece of ambergris?
Ye Fu felt his brain wasn't enough. How did this matter develop like this?
"A-Dong? Walk faster..."
"Don't worry, let my mother go over and make a scene first. They actually stole things from our house, let my mother vent her anger first."
His brother-in-law looked confused. Wasn't ambergris said to be very precious? Why wasn't he in a hurry?
Xiao Liu was anxious. "Dong-Shu, that's ambergris! Hurry up, maybe they hid it somewhere."
"The Xu family are all idiots. Xu Laifu, that fool, can he distinguish wood from ambergris? He pitted himself."
"What?"
"What I picked up from the sea was a piece of wood!" Ye Yaodong intended to "tell the truth."
"Ah?"
Now, not only Xiao Liu was surprised, but Xiao Xiao, A-Zheng, and Lin Xiang Hui were all shocked.
Everyone thought Xu Laifu had stolen Ye Yaodong's ambergris, and even Xu Laifu admitted it, but Ye Yaodong said it was just a piece of wood!
!
Ye Yaodong smiled and showed sixteen teeth. "A few months ago, I don't know which smart person painted a piece of wood and threw it into the sea. I also thought it was a treasure at first. That Li Laoer also discovered it at the time and argued with me, but I salvaged it."
"Seeing him anxious and frustrated, my father and I intentionally treated this thing as a treasure to tease him. After going back, I threw it into the junk pile. I didn't expect him to still be thinking about it."
"I don't know when he found out about me and actually instructed Xu Laifu, that fool, to steal from me."
"Damn! Don't say it out loud! Just pass it off as real, admit he stole your ambergris, and pit him for a real piece of ambergris. See how he compensates, empty his family's foundation! Make him compensate even his underwear." A-Zheng stared with wide eyes.
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. He wasn't stupid.
If he admitted that what he picked up was real ambergris, and the Xu family didn't find it, then it might be him who would be unlucky.
He wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, he was afraid of thieves coveting.
Since it was confirmed that he had ambergris, it must be in someone's hands. The Xu family's was fake, so it was possible someone would guess the real one was still with him.
Then his family wouldn't have any peace in the future.
Directly admitting that what Xu Laifu stole was fake, that Old Wang from the shop saw it wrong, and the Xu family recognized it happily without even looking at it, which caused a big misunderstanding.
Ending the ambergris matter here is quite good. The Xu family gets punished, Li Laoer gives up, and he can also have peace.
"I am an honest person and never lie. How can I do things like pitting and deceiving? Comrade Leader has told us that one must seek truth from facts, say one is one, and say two is two."
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison. Believe his ghost.
Xiao Xiao gave him a thumbs up. "I admire you for being able to talk nonsense while being so serious."
"Sigh, actually I am very soft-hearted. I'll go over later and give Xu Laifu a good beating, and that should be about it. We are all neighbors, we should love each other and be harmonious."
"You are very soft-hearted. You let your mother use the momentum to lead the first round of the scene, and after it's enough, you slowly go up for the second round to end the game." Xiao Xiao also echoed seriously.
A-Zheng couldn't turn the corner and was still regretting it. "It's better to let them compensate with a piece of ambergris. That's a treasure. How can a beating be as practical as money..."
Ye Yaodong said earnestly, "How much family foundation do you think they have to compensate? Let alone the foundation, let's talk about whether they are willing to compensate. They can directly lie on the ground and roll, saying that what they stole was fake, they have no money to compensate, and they can even bite back."
"Even if you do that, you can't do anything about them. That family are all rascals. If you smash their house, they won't be able to pay you. They might even lie at your door and cry every day. They are the only ones who blackmail others, how can it be someone else's turn to blackmail them."
"Makes sense!"
"Right? So it's fine to be merciful and give them a beating. I don't care about their money. I love money, but I get it in a fair and square way."
Xiao Liu said weakly, "That's called a gentleman loves money, and takes it in a proper way..."
Ye Yaodong patted his head. "What grade are you in? You learned the textbook well, but I said 'I', not 'a gentleman'."
"Uh..." Xiao Liu had nothing to say about his brain's flexibility. "Second year of junior high."
"Study hard and make progress every day!"
A-Zheng said, "Don't let that Li Laoer go later. An outsider actually dared to reach his hand into our village. He's looking for death."
"Exactly, if this bastard didn't incite the theft, nothing would have happened."
After Xiao Liu understood the ins and outs, he was speechless about the Xu family's foolish behavior.
"Is their family's brain filled with straw?"
"Maybe it's shit."
"Dongzi, walk faster. It's been so long, hurry and see if your mother will suffer a loss, what's the situation?"
"Okay, then walk faster."
