Chapter 470: A Red-Tailed Bird Fish

~12 min read 2,363 words

The tide had just started to recede, and there were already quite a few people on the beach, all thinking of taking advantage of the tide just receding to come over and pick up some cheap things, including adults and children.

Ye Yaodong had just led a group of children to the beach for not long, and had only clamped a stone crab running around, when he saw Ye Chenghai jump up instantly.

"Ah! Terrible, my Dad and Mom are here!"

"Ah~" Ye Chenghai also wailed, feeling that the hope of saving private money was going to fall through.

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked. Ye Yaopeng and his wife were rushing out with buckets. Estimated that they heard the movement of him and a group of children, so they followed to take a look.

"What are you afraid of? Starve the timid, starve the brave. You throw the goods into my bucket, can they still come to me and grab them back? At worst, go back and be beaten, it's not like you haven't been beaten."

The three brothers and sisters instantly felt relieved.

"Right right right, run fast when the time comes, wait until the money is sold and save it with Third Uncle, otherwise it will be collected by my mother when I go back."

Beaten anyway, daily routine, doesn't matter~

Doesn't matter~

Fearless, so some were fearless. The three brothers and sisters behind, whether they picked up snails, fish, or crabs, all threw them into the bucket Ye Yaodong used for them alone regardless.

How blatant, how blatant, even if Ye sister-in-law scraped them with her eyes several times, they pretended not to see, and continued to do their own thing excitedly.

Anyway, they were going to be beaten...

Ye Yaodong silently lit a candle for them in his heart.

They should have forgotten that being beaten and being beaten are different. For example, being beaten with a branch and being beaten with a whip, or being beaten with a stick, or being beaten with a rattan string for mosquitoes, the degree of pain and the degree of wounds are different.

"Eh, A-Jiang, why didn't Second Uncle and Second Aunt come out? The tide has already started to recede, my Dad and Mom are all out, why didn't your Dad and Mom come out?"

Ye Chengjiang touched the back of his head, confused. "Don't know, my Dad just ran back in a hurry, and went to find my Mom to talk in the room."

"Then you are cool... my Mom just glared at us several times... a bit scary..."

Originally there was feeling, and would be afraid. He thought they were already thick-skinned to the point of not mattering.

"Hehe~"

He estimated that the second brother was trying hard to persuade his second sister-in-law now.

He looked at his eldest brother stepping in the water not far away, thought about it, and shouted at him.

"Eldest brother!"

"Ah?"

Ye Yaopeng just caught a yellow plum fish washed up by the waves and was happy, when he heard Ye Yaodong shout, turned his head and took a look. Anyway, he also had to put the fish into the bucket, so he walked over by the way.

"What's the matter."

"Second brother came to my house to find me earlier, saying he also wanted to buy a shop."

"Ah?!"

Ye Yaopeng was surprised, and the yellow plum fish in his hand fell to the ground. After reacting, he hurriedly squatted down to pick it up.

"You say true? Your second brother came to you saying he also wanted to buy a shop? The shop in the wholesale market you bought yesterday?"

"Right."

"When did it happen?"

"Just before we finished lunch, he came over, it was only half an hour ago."

Ye Yaopeng frowned when he heard this, and didn't have the relaxation and happiness just now.

"Where did he get so much money? Why would he suddenly think of buying a shop too? We are not in the city... and really listened to what you said in the morning and moved?"

"Maybe, he said he has a deposit now, wait until the end of the year to save a little, see how much is missing, and when the meeting money is collected, if it's missing, borrow from me, I said good. I think it's necessary to tell you."

Ye Yaopeng sighed with a frown and said in a conflicted tone: "Even if you told me, I couldn't afford it. I only go out to sea for a few days each month, and there was so much rain in the first half of the year that I barely went out at all."

"It's just these few months that I earned a little, but what I earned still has to deduct oil costs, and miscellaneous rope and machine repair money, and have to give Dad the rent for the boat. The two of us divide the rest and it's not much, just stronger than workers, but what we earn is hard-earned money."

The more he thought, the more Ye Yaopeng felt that the second one was bold. Why did he suddenly want to follow and buy a shop without a sound? Why was he willing?

The gap was still big, don't know if he could save enough money at the end of the year, and the family had to spend, he was hot-headed, ate the wrong medicine?

"Does Dad know? What does Dad say?"

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know if he went to tell Dad, this time didn't come out, still at home, estimated that he was still persuading the second sister-in-law, no time to tell Dad."

"He is also too rash?"

Ye Yaodong told the truth. "I think it's quite good, although it's said that all family assets have to be taken to buy, but think about it for the better, it can be regarded as saving money. If you really need money in the future, you can sell it."

"Otherwise, if you hold the money in your hands, there will be various names for spending money in the future, and it's not necessarily possible to keep it. After taking it to buy a shop, you must work hard to earn money for a period of time, and various names for spending money must be pushed if you can. Just like the rat meeting of the big cousin..."

This was also the pain in Ye Yaopeng's heart. 1000 yuan was not a small amount. Although their life was much better now, and they had a boat, this 1000 yuan was also their income for half a year. It was gone just like that. He was also uncomfortable for many days at that time.

If that 1000 yuan hadn't been cheated, there was still a possibility.

He looked at his own wife who was still excited not far away, and felt a bit angry again. This prodigal woman!

Managing money and losing it, it's better to take it to buy a shop, at least it can be seen.

Ye Yaodong suppressed some anger in his heart, and walked directly towards Ye sister-in-law, but after walking halfway, he felt that 3000 yuan was too much.

Really a lot! They didn't even have half of this now, what to think about? Still have to owe external debt.

Originally, life was quite comfortable now, with spare money in hand, not worrying about food and drink. If it was to buy a shop, and reduce expenses and owe external debt, he felt it was unnecessary.

He didn't understand the market prospects they were talking about. He was just a layman.

Ye Yaodong saw his eldest brother silent after listening, and then didn't make a sound and left, so he didn't say much.

Look at it yourself!

Personal choice, he couldn't drive the duck to the shelf, help them be the master.

Buying this, it's not necessarily possible to see how much income in the first few years, really have a process, he himself is indifferent, others are not necessarily, to avoid having to complain to him later.

Anyway, mentioned it to his eldest brother, they couple discuss it, look at it themselves.

Having only walked half the distance, Ye Yaopeng stopped again, feeling conflicted once more.

If this matter hadn't let him know, only Dongzi bought a shop, he wouldn't think much, originally Dongzi was quite capable of tossing.

But now that he knew, the second one, an honest man, also planned to follow and buy a shop, he felt a bit uncomfortable, couldn't say what psychology it was.

Just as he was standing there hesitating, Ye Dasao saw him and shouted, "Why are you standing there like a fool? Why don't you hurry up and bring the fish over? Let's move a bit further forward; the tide has receded a little more. I don't know what you're doing all day long; the little one is acting up, and the big one is being a fool there too."

Ye Yaodong walked over with big strides, frowned and said: "Dongzi said the second one went to find him earlier, saying he also wanted to buy a shop."

"Ah!?"

Ye sister-in-law was also surprised, the first reaction was, "Did he eat the wrong medicine? Where did he get the money?"

"He plans to pay a deposit first, see how much is missing at the end of the year, and borrow a little from Dongzi."

"Crazy? No money and still want to borrow money to buy? Demonized?"

Seeing Ye Yaopeng's hesitant and conflicted expression, Ye Dasao couldn't help but say: "You don't intend to learn from him and borrow money to buy one, do you? What kind of madness is this? Don't you have any idea how much money we have in our hands? Don't you dare get any crooked ideas and squander it; we finally saved up a little money, and earning it is so hard."

Ye Yaodong was also angry. "You also know that earning money is not easy, and still listen to people to cheat

"Why... why bring this up again? Isn't that all in the past..."

Ye Yaodong had been wandering around on his own, watching the children and picking up a few sea goods for them along the way, when who would have thought he'd see the couple arguing louder and louder?

"What are you two doing? You're still outside and you're already arguing, what are you arguing about?" Ye Fu had also calculated the time and wanted to come out to see if the tide had receded, just in time to see them fighting.

Seeing Ye Fu come over, Ye Yaopeng stopped arguing with his wife and instead asked his father, "Ahua also wants to buy a shop, does Dad know?"

Ye Fu stared, "He wants to buy a shop? What kind of wind is he blowing? Did Dongzi incite him?"

Ye Yaodong was unhappy; did he think he couldn't hear him?

He walked over and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you saying? What do you mean I incited him? It was the second brother who came to me himself. Can I be the master of his house? If you haven't asked clearly, don't blame me."

After saying that, he was unhappy, turned around, and walked away, continuing to watch the children, letting them do whatever they wanted.

"None of you are allowed to run too far, and you are not allowed to step into the water, otherwise I'll drag you back and break your legs later, and I won't bring you next time."

"Understood" came from all directions, and Lin Guangyuan and Ye Chenghai, who were running in front, also reined it in a bit.

I don't know what they said, but Ye Yaodong noticed that after a while, his eldest brother and sister-in-law continued to forage for seafood, while his father walked toward the shore, presumably to find his second brother and ask.

After one glance, he withdrew his gaze and focused his attention back on the children, only to see Ye Chenghe suddenly lunge directly into the shallow water, which gave him a huge fright, and he quickly ran forward.

He saw his whole person lying in the water, his face buried in the water, his body level with the surface.

"Ye Chenghe, are you out of your mind? You actually treated my words as wind in your ears."

Ye Yaodong grabbed his back collar in a rage and lifted his head first to prevent him from drowning, "How many times have I told you not to go into the water? Are you deaf? Go back!"

"No, Third Uncle, wait, don't pull me, I have a fish in my arms! It keeps moving..."

Ye Yaopeng actually kept an eye on the children from time to time, and he also saw his son fall into the water, so he ran over in a panic, only to see a red-tailed fish pressed under him.

He didn't care about looking at the fish and quickly pulled the child up, scolding: "You little brat, you don't want your life, lunging into the water like that. If we hadn't been watching, you might have been washed away by the waves."

"I can swim."

"Those who drown are the ones who can swim!"

Ye Dasao also rushed over in a hurry.

At this time, they all saw the large red fish he was holding tightly in his arms, which was almost half his height. Ye Chenghe was 11 years old, so this fish was not small, and it was still moving around in his arms.

Ye Yaodong said in surprise: "Red-tailed bird!"

"Red-tailed bird?"

"What is a red-tailed bird? Is it this fish?" Ye Chenghe hadn't realized that disaster was imminent, and he was still incredibly excited, wet from head to toe, "Third Uncle, is this fish very valuable? It's so big, I've never caught such a big fish before. How much can this sell for?"

As he spoke, he struggled to hand the fish toward his arms, not realizing at all that his parents were right beside him, already happy and foolish.
