Chapter 415: Releasing water, no problem

This time, without waiting for those county leaders to speak, the village chief said directly: "Fellow villagers, rest assured. Adong, you rest assured too. You have made such a great contribution to our village, the subsidy will not be less for you. Rewards are rewards, subsidies are subsidies; we all know this and we all remember it. Later, we will help you apply to the leaders, and when the time comes, we will send it to you."

Chen Shuji also nodded, "Right, rest assured. We will tally up the subsidies for you and your father later, and then they will be sent to your home. You can rest assured about this; it absolutely won't be less than what you're owed."

Ye Yaodong nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. One thing is one thing; the credit going to Mazu is accumulating merit, and I have no opinion on that. But the extra hard-earned money for me and my father cannot be less."

"We remember. You go back first and wait for news. Once we finish the tally later, we'll send it over to you."

"Fine, then we'll head back first."

After agreeing, Ye Yaodong didn't pay attention to the fellow villagers who were still there discussing it heatedly. He called out to his little buddies to help take the things that needed to be taken, and they headed home.

Along the way, the few friends were also whispering among themselves.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, you'd really make people look at you with new eyes? Your awareness is this high?"

"Yeah, what should have been yours was all calculated by them as going to Mazu, and you only got some scrap metal. You actually didn't say a word; when did you change your temper?"

"It looks a bit unlike you! You worked hard for half a month and only got these few things..."

Ye Yaodong pretended to be helpless and said: "This has nothing to do with awareness. Those leaders are all very cunning. Calculating it to Mazu's name satisfied the villagers' demands, and the villagers were definitely happy and had no objections. Everyone agreed, so should I disagree? I still have to live here. They calculated it precisely; I had to agree whether I wanted to or not."

"Besides, being able to build the Mazu Temple is a great thing. I've put in so much effort, Mazu should protect me well. And I didn't lose out either; being number one on the merit stele is a great thing. If you leave it for later when there are more donors, how much money would you have to throw down to rank first?"

"In short, this can be considered a great act of accumulating merit and doing good deeds. I didn't lose out, and I can go out to sea with more peace of mind. Mazu can also protect me more so I can get rich and stay safe."

A-Guang chimed in: "Dongzi's words also make sense. This is merit that no amount of money can buy."

"That's true, being number one on the merit stele still carries some weight."

"However, I just saw that after Chen Shuji gave away the number one spot on the merit stele, the faces of those museum people and county leaders turned a bit dark."

"Pfft~ They only donated 500 yuan and wanted to be engraved in the first spot? Keep dreaming. Besides, they are outsiders and don't go out to sea; what do they need Mazu to protect them for? They should be praying to the God of Wealth instead."

"Where was their 500 yuan a donation? That was a reward for Mazu; it's what Mazu deserved. When the merit stele is finished being engraved, just add a sentence at the bottom saying the donation was initiated by them."

"Exactly. If it weren't for the fellow villagers making a scene there, who knows, after the salvage was finished, they might have just dismissed Dongzi like they did, giving him 50 yuan and walking away. Where would they give you one item for one item, calculated so clearly."

Ye Yaodong listened to them saying one thing after another, and he nodded frequently. When it comes to calculating accounts, no one can out-calculate them.

"Moreover, the 800 yuan they rewarded was exchanged for a pile of treasures. We don't know if those bronze wares and broken bowls are worth money, but I heard those little boxes are full of gold, silver, and jewelry. Who knows how they're going to divide them up?"

"Exactly, I don't believe their awareness is that high! Who knows, maybe it's three for you and six for them, barely leaving one to be handed over."

"You know too much... *Click*..." Ye Yaodong made a throat-slitting gesture at A Zheng.

"Hehe, you wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by the Eastern Depot, would you?"

"Can't it be the Western Depot?"

"I think the Eastern Depot is more powerful!"

Several people were holding things in their hands, chattering as they walked. The village was quiet, with only a few people sitting at their doors cooling off and picking vegetables. Even the children had run off to the village committee to play.

They passed by an old, dilapidated house, but heard a familiar voice coming from inside, accompanied by some rustling sounds.

Everyone stopped their footsteps out of curiosity.

"Why does it sound like A-Wei's voice?"

"I think so too..."

"What is he doing here?"

"It sounds like he's saying something about returning it once he comes back?"

"Why care what he's doing? It's none of our business. Let's go, back to play cards." A-Zheng curled his lip. They were not on the same path, so he wasn't interested in him. Anyway, they couldn't play together anymore.

"Then let's go."

Since they couldn't play together anymore, it was better not to be curious and stay behind, lest they run into him and it gets awkward, or he thinks they were eavesdropping or catching him in the act.

The people inside heard the voices outside and were too scared to speak. Only after the people had walked far away did A-Wei come out to take a look.

Seeing the few people not far away laughing and talking, twenty-something-year-olds still acting like children, walking and playing, and then chasing each other, the expression on his face suddenly became a bit complex.

He gripped the money in his pocket tightly, then turned around and walked away without looking back.

Ye Yaodong and the others didn't know this person's inner journey. They were racing to see who would be the first to run to his house, and the last one to arrive would have to do 20 push-ups.

"Damn, you guys colluded, didn't you?" Ye Yaodong kept pulling at his shirt hem while running. After angrily glaring at A-Zheng, who was pulling his shirt hem from behind, he glared at the two who kept blocking his path while running.

One of them was holding a bag of rice, one a bag of flour, and the other a washbasin, an enamel mug, and a flag. Meanwhile, he was holding a thermos and a notebook. This distribution was actually fair.

However, they were actually cunning enough to collude together.

These dog-men were actually so tacit, pitting him with just a few glances.

"We didn't set the rules for the race, we only said the last one to arrive has to do 20 push-ups. We didn't say you couldn't do this or that during the process, right?"

"Exactly, hurry up, a bet is a bet!"

"Your mother, you guys are even more dog-like than my dog!"

"It's fine to call me a dog, but don't think about taking the opportunity to embezzle it. That's everyone's dog; we have a share of the dog meat too."

"Grass!"

"You're not allowed to eat my Xiaotianquan!" The two children at home, upon hearing about dog meat, immediately ran over, hands on their hips, looking at them angrily like they were protecting their young.

Xiao Xiao pinched Ye Chengyang's cheek, "You even know about Xiaotianquan? Come help Uncle a bit..."

"Comrade Ye Yaodong, a bet is a bet, get down quickly!"

After Ye Yaodong put down the things in his hands, he glared at them and honestly complied. But just as he leaned down, his back felt heavy, and he was instantly pressed flat to the ground.

"Ouch~ Ye Chengyang... Ouch~"

Before he could use his hands to push himself up again, Ye Chengyang pressed down heavily again, shouting "Giddy-up" with his mouth, thinking they were playing a game.

The others were laughing out loud there.

"Ye Chengyang, are you a pig?"

Lin Xiuqing heard them laughing and playing at the door and came out to take a look. Just as she heard this, she smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you talk about your own son like that?"

"Dad, hurry up! Come on!" Ye Chenghu, thinking the chaos wasn't big enough, squatted in front of his dad to cheer him on.

Ye Chengyang on his back sat down heavily a few times, urging him, "Hurry up, hurry up."

"You little brat, I'm going to be coughed up blood by you. You bastards, wait until later, I'll make you take off your underwear when you lose and go home."

"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"

Ye Yaodong struggled one by one. This little brat was really sitting firmly; he didn't know how to release some water.

"Rest a while, rest a while, switch people, switch people... take this little brat away..."

"You want to switch to your eldest son, right? Fine, Ye Chenghu, go!"

Ye Chenghu excitedly sat on top too. One didn't want to get off, and the other climbed on. Now he was really going to be flattened.

Ye Yaodong was pressed firmly, "Help, A-Qing, Wife, help... switch to my wife, with her tonnage, one is worth two..."

"Pfft, you still think you're in the bridal chamber? Keep dreaming."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and pulled the eldest son up, which finally lightened his burden.

Ye Yaodong turned his head helplessly and glanced at his youngest son, "You little brat, can't you release some water?"

"Release water?"

Ye Chengyang tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then, to everyone's surprise, he pulled the leg of his shorts up to his thigh, revealing his little penis, and peed directly at the ground at an angle.

Everyone was instantly amused, and they were all shouting "Holy crap" there.

"Hahaha... that really is releasing water..."

"Comrade Ye Chengyang, your aim is no good, you should have aimed at your dad's head!"

"Hahaha, right, aren't you straddling him? How come you didn't know to aim at his head?"

Ye Yaodong was also stunned looking at the parabolic water jet beside him. He didn't dare to move, afraid that if he moved, it would pee on his head later.

Ye Chengyang looked at everyone with a confused face while peeing, not understanding why everyone was laughing at him.

After finishing his business, he even lowered his head to take a look, pressed his little hand on his little willy and flicked it twice, then tucked it away only after shaking it dry.

Ye Yaodong clearly felt that when Ye Chengyang finished the job, he left some hot, unidentified liquid on his back.

Before he could straighten up, Ye Chengyang was picked up.

"Run, your dad is going to take a whip to beat you."

As soon as Ye Yaodong stood up, he saw him scrambling into the room next door in a hurry. He had no choice but to curse a few times, "You're smart when it comes to getting beaten, running faster than a rabbit. When I told you to release water, was it this water?"

A few bad friends were laughing out loud there.

"That's right, didn't you tell him to release water? So he released water."

"No problem, that was indeed releasing water."

Lin Xiuqing's eyes were almost smiling away, "Who told you to always say you're taking him to release water when you hold him to pee at night? He remembered it. You should be glad he didn't aim accurately and hit your head directly."

Ye Yaodong looked at his back with disgust, his hand holding the back hem of his shirt, not letting the clothes touch his back.

"I'm going to wipe my back and change my clothes."

"What are these, Adong?" Lin Xiuqing had long seen the pile of things stacked at the door, but hadn't had time to ask.

Ye Yaodong said without looking back: "Rewards issued from above."

"They gave so many things?"

"A pile of crap... that's all there is..." ===== CHAPTER 416 =====
