Chapter 541: Otter battle

"Oh my, you don't want it, we do. Quick, quick... go get a net and try to see if you can scoop it up. It's so small, it shouldn't swim fast..."

"Scoop it up and stew it for nourishment tonight. This is better than a small hen. Save some money and nourish the whole family. You guys hurry up..."

They were thinking about having a big fight at sea, and they were already high-spirited, everything was ready. As soon as Haozi's wife shouted, Haozi's father immediately skillfully took the fishing net that had been organized long ago, and then aimed at a position and threw it directly.

This action made Ye Yaodong furious.

Damn it, he just let it go, and they were going to catch it right after. What's the meaning of this?

Haozi just looked at him embarrassedly, and then lay on the side of the boat, staring at the sea surface.

Ye Yaodong looked annoyed, wanted to curse, but held back and shouted: "Damn it, I just let it go, and you guys are going to catch it. What's the meaning of this?"

"You don't want it, we want it. Anyway, you threw it away..." Haozi's wife shouted, and then urged to ask if it could be pulled up?

"Damn it..."

The engine sound of the two boats kept ringing, and the sea breeze blew, covering his scolding, making it not so clear.

Ye's father also condemned them for being immoral there. "How can you do this? We just let it go, and you guys are going to catch it. We were still watching... ah..."

Ye's father's voice stalled instantly.

Ye Yaodong also let out a surprised "Oh my!"

I saw several otter heads appearing around the fishing net they set. He counted, there were eight adult otters and three otter cubs.

He didn't know if one of these three otter cubs was the one he had just released.

However, those adult otters were tall and big, with shiny hair, which looked like bundles of banknotes in Ye Yaodong's eyes.

It was the same in the eyes of others.

People on the opposite boat shouted in surprise at the same time. "Oh my, look, look~ many suddenly appeared under the water..."

"Many, many under the water, boom~ why did so many suddenly appear..."

"Hurry up, hurry up, are there any more nets? Catch those too."

"There is only one scoop net, Dad hasn't pulled it up yet, just ignore him first..."

Haozi's father pulled the hand-throwing net and shouted happily: "So heavy, there must be something inside, A-Hao, come and help me pull..."

Ye's father also hurriedly threw down a sentence that he was going to get a net, and hurried to find one, for fear of being grabbed by them first.

Suddenly so many appeared. Since they saw it, it must be whoever catches it gets it. It depends on who is faster. The small ones are too cute and too cute, he can't bear to kill them. He has no burden to catch the adult ones.

At this time, just when the father and son were eager to try, each holding a hand-scoop net, they saw Haozi's wife had already taken a hand-scoop net first and netted an adult large otter.

That otter made a call, twisted its body, and splashed water.

Before long, all the otters that appeared in the water swam over, pulling the fishing net and dragging it under the water.

Haozi's wife held the handle of a stick. How could she withstand the joint force of so many otters?

Being pulled toward the water by so many adult otters at the same time, she was reluctant to let go of the harvest, so she could only hold the fishing net and not let go, and she shouted to Haozi to help, but he was helping his father pull the fishing net and couldn't separate himself.

Haozi's wife held the wooden stick, half of her body was leaning out of the boat, but she wouldn't let go, and suddenly with a splash, she was pulled off the boat by a group of otters and fell into the water.

"Ah! Help~ help~ I can't swim~"

The woman at the bottom of the water was sinking and floating there.

Haozi reacted very quickly, took off his cotton coat and jumped down to save his wife.

The scene changed too fast. Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were a bit depressed after she caught one first, and then saw a group of otters dragging the fishing net, and were a bit at a loss.

As a result, in less than a moment, the situation deteriorated sharply, and people fell into the sea, which left them dumbfounded.

Haozi jumped into the water, and the splashing cold seawater made him shiver uncontrollably.

Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat splashed on his face, and saw those otters abandon the fishing net and all concentrate on attacking the couple.

The water is the world of otters. They grab the feet, grab the arms, grab the body.

"Oh my~ it hurts to death, these damned things..."

"Go... go... roll to the side..."

"Oh my~ Dad, hurry up, pull us up first..."

"Pull it up first, it hurts to be grabbed..."

The couple was uncomfortable being grabbed, and their whole bodies were in pain, but they were still soaking in the water. Haozi had to hold his wife so that she wouldn't be grabbed by the otters and sink.

His wife felt her body was light and floating, always worried that she would sink under the water, so she grabbed him tightly with her limbs, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only hold her and dodge, and by the way, stabilize the bodies of the two, which was a bit flustered.

Haozi's father naturally couldn't care about collecting the net. He anxiously tied one end of the net rope to the mast of the boat quickly, and comforted them with his mouth.

"Right away, right away... I don't know what's going on, such a big person, actually fell into the water? Coming, coming, up..."

Haozi and his father worked together to get his wife up first, and then he waved his hands in a crazy dance, threw off the otters that were biting him, and then climbed onto the shore in a panic.

Seeing that the enemies had climbed up, the otters called out to them on the water surface a few times, and then one by one sank into the water.

Haozi's wife sat paralyzed on the boat, patted her chest with lingering fear, and then kept cursing there, "Damned beasts, sooner or later I will catch you all and let you die out..."

"I was almost killed by you, don't fall into my hands next time, beasts are beasts..."

"My neck was grabbed several times... oh my, it hurts to death, fortunately, the clothes are thick..."

"Thick your mother, thick. The clothes absorbed water and were heavy as hell, like a pig. I was also dragged by you and almost sank into the water, becoming a pair of doomed lovers. Still calling, calling, calling, annoying! Shut up!"

Haozi was also panting there, listening to her mentioning which pot is not open, and was half-dead with anger.

Dragging a person who can't swim in the water, he was afraid that she would move around like an octopus. Just now, she was tightly holding his neck, almost making him unable to move and sink.

He took off his cotton coat and went into the water, wearing only a thin single shirt, and was grabbed and bled by those otters, and his whole body was in pain.

"I can't swim, if I don't grab you, who do I grab? If I don't grab you, I'll fall into the sea directly."

"You want to drag me as a cushion even if you die, right?"

"You are my man, you have to save me..."

"Alright, what are you arguing about? You're saved, it's fine. Be careful next time. There are many people who lose their lives at sea. If you are not careful, you dare to be so loud. Hurry up and help pull the net up first, it was pulled halfway just now."

Ye Yaodong and his son watched them all get on the boat, so they didn't pay attention to them, let them have internal strife.

The otters under the sea surface had already run away, and they didn't need to catch them. The hand-scoop net in his hand was also thrown aside by him.

Ye Yaodong walked toward the rolling wheel. "Continue to collect the net, don't worry about them. They do theirs, we collect ours. We've been delayed for a long time."

"Yeah, I don't know what they caught with the net they threw just now? Chen Dawang didn't pull it up for a long time."

"Forget it, catching a person up has nothing to do with us."

"Nonsense."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and planned to start the rolling wheel to continue collecting the net that had just been collected halfway.

But after he collected one net, he saw that the hand-throwing net that Haozi and the others had just dragged up with great effort actually hooked his sticky net!

"Holy crap, it actually hooked my fishing net?"

"What?"

Ye's father was organizing the whole sticky net that had just been collected, preparing to straighten it out and tie it up, but when he heard this, he quickly looked over.

"Hey? Is that our sticky net? How did it get hooked up?"

"That's what I'm saying, holy crap, hurry up and drive the boat over to say it."

Because they were collecting the net, their boat had just moved forward a short distance, so they had to drive over.

Haozi and the others were also very confused when they saw that the hand-throwing net had hooked a sticky net. No wonder it was so heavy, they had been pulling it for a long time, but when they saw the sticky net exposed to the water surface with many fish stuck to it, they were overjoyed again, and they didn't care to think about it.

Haozi's wife was extremely happy. "I didn't expect to hook a broken fishing net, what a good luck, there are quite a few fish on it~"

"Broken fishing net? How come I see it looks quite new and quite clean?" Haozi's father asked suspiciously.

"Seems quite new, the net threads are very clean, not like abandoned..."

Haozi was also puzzled for a moment, but when he heard the diesel engine sound getting closer and closer, he thought of it when he turned his head.

"Holy crap, this is Dongzi's! It is estimated that it was moved by the waves, and the line was entangled with our net. No wonder there is still a buoy there on the sea surface."

"This... should not be possible, right? How could it be so easy to hook? Could it be someone else's broken one? You can't just think it's his because it looks new..." his wife frowned, a bit unwilling to give up.

Ye Yaodong came over at this time and said: "The net in your hand is mine, I set it yesterday."

"I thought so..."

His wife pulled him at this time, but Haozi glared at her, and then looked at Ye Yaodong. "It should be that when my father threw the net just now, it was entangled with your net line."

He didn't shamelessly want to take it as his own. Ye Yaodong was also relieved, otherwise, he wouldn't want to drive this boat tomorrow.

However, when they were handing over the fishing net, he heard his wife's muttering, "Say take it back and take it back..."

As a result, Haozi turned around and slapped her, "Shut up, what does it have to do with you? The fishing net of others was hooked by us, shouldn't we return it?"

On the boat, Haozi's wife dared not speak, and dared not say anything, just glared at them resentfully.

Ye Yaodong frowned, but didn't say anything. After the fishing net was collected, he just greeted them and said he wanted to continue collecting the net, so he didn't care about them.

After they collected the hand-throwing net, they drove the boat away in a boring way.

After they went far away, Ye Yaodong muttered to his father: "This own wife, how can you slap her in front of so many people? This is too ugly. If there is a problem, teach her when you go back."

"His wife is also not good. This is not someone else's net, and she wants to take advantage of her own friend."

"Fortunately, he returned it without saying a word. What kind of person is this? You have to keep your eyes open when looking for a wife, and you can't just listen to what the matchmaker says."

Ye's father couldn't help but say: "You also knew each other for ten days before getting married. You still have to thank the matchmaker, otherwise, you might still be single now, and there wouldn't be three children at home."

"Psh~ the era is different."

"Don't psh, hurry up and collect this fishing net, and change to a place to set the net later, so as not to find that it has been intercepted tomorrow, and nothing is left for you."

"Got it, after all the nets are collected, change to a place."

Human hearts cannot withstand the test, why gamble human hearts with your own loss.

He had already thought that he couldn't set it here when he saw Haozi and the others.

Ye Yaodong hung the line on the rotating wheel and slowly turned to collect it. "It was only set yesterday. This new net looks quite clean today, so there is no need to collect it back to dry, wasting time."

"Yeah, use it two or three times and then take it back to wash and dry, to remove the smell, just right to fish for three days and dry the net for two days."

"How many jin of goods were collected in that net?"

Ye's father looked at the basket at his feet and lifted it. "Almost 40 jin, basically all toadfish of two or three jin, and that stingray is relatively large, which is a good product."

"The harvest is okay."

"Yeah, this net just saw three or four pomfret, which should be okay. If I had known, I would have told A-Guang not to put the boat out and do sticky nets."

"Why work so hard? Their family's conditions are already top-notch now, and it's fine to rest for a winter, why do you have to treat yourself like a mule?"

"It's just a pity. It's my own boat, but I'm making money for others."

"He can also collect half of the rent, he won't lose, and he doesn't have to go out early and return late, wind and sun."

"Yeah."

It's not his own boat, so Ye's father didn't say anything. ===== CHAPTER 542 =====

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Your family's situation is already excellent. Taking a winter break wouldn't hurt; you can just work hard again next year. Do you really have to work yourself like a mule?"

"Isn't it just a pity? It's our own boat, yet we're making money for someone else."

"He can collect half the rent, so he won't be at a loss, and he doesn't have to go out early and return late, exposed to the wind and sun."

"Hmm."

Since it wasn't their own boat, Ye Fu didn't say anything more.
