Chapter 547: Stealing Sand

"Ouch~ You bunch of black-hearted, rotten-gutted things, even stealing the sand meant for building the Mazu Temple."

"Come out, don't hide, I've already seen you..."

"If you don't come out, I'm calling people over..."

The few people at the wharf collection point were initially puzzled when they heard the shouting not far away, but when they pricked up their ears to listen carefully, they all felt the female voice was somewhat familiar.

Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "Why does it sound like my mother's voice?"

"Does it seem like your mother's voice?"

Lin Shu also said, "I also think it sounds like it."

"Let's go take a look together, what happened in the middle of the night?"

Hearing the constant shouting and cursing not far away, everyone decided to go over together to see.

As soon as they walked over, they saw Ye Mu being pushed and falling to the ground. The other party, seeing so many people arrive suddenly, was panicked and immediately turned to run.

"Damn it, which turtle's grandson dares to push my mother?"

"Ouch, the damn bastards, hurry and catch them, they are Wang Laowu and his son Wang Jianqiang, hurry... don't let them run." Ye Mu sat on the ground, pointing her index finger forward and shouting angrily.

Ye Yaodong reacted very quickly, rushing forward and kicking the young man in the butt, making him stagger.

Subsequently, Ye Yaodong immediately hooked his neck, drove a knee into his stomach, and hammered his back with his elbow.

Immediately, bursts of screams rang out, accompanied by his cursing.

"Screw your mother, you blind dog, you actually dare to push my mother, I'll cut off your hands, damn you, I'll beat you to death."

The older one nearby saw his son being beaten and didn't dare to run anymore, hurriedly crying out 'ouch, ouch', saying don't hit, can't hit, we're all family...

Ye Yaodong didn't care about him and continued to beat him, "Who the hell is family with you? Stop trying to climb up the social ladder, have some shame, will you? Don't you go pee and look at your own virtue, you have the nerve to say we're family, family my foot."

Hearing the word "family," Ye Yaodong suddenly thought of how this old man had stolen his scallops before; back then, when he stole the scallops from his net, he had also called him family.

Truly shameless, climbing up to be relatives everywhere.

Feeling unhappy, he hammered him two more heavy blows.

"Ouch, don't hit, don't hit, you'll beat him to death..."

Ye Mu also nimbly climbed up, pulling Ye Fu and the others, pointing at the two and saying, "These two are stealing the sand for building the Mazu Temple. I had just walked out of my front door not long ago when I saw a flashlight beam here, just a little bit, not strong."

"I was just feeling puzzled, but before I had walked a few steps, the light was gone, making me think I was seeing things or ghost fire."

"Then when I came over, I didn't give up and specifically took a look, shining my flashlight, and discovered a flatbed cart in the corner by the sand pile, and the nylon bag covering the sand had already been lifted halfway."

"Ouch~"

Ye Mu slapped her thigh at the exciting part, "In the middle of the night, why would there be a flatbed cart here? If it were a dump truck, I wouldn't be surprised."

"And guess what? I walked closer to look, the cart was piled full of sand, there was even a shovel on it, and there were footprints on the ground."

"It was this father and son, I shone my flashlight everywhere and saw them hiding in the half-built temple made of stones."

"Damn father and son, even stealing the sand for building the Mazu Temple, tomorrow I'll tell Mazu not to bless you, this was bought with money from all the villagers, you are stealing collective property..."

Ye Mu, with a nimble tongue, rushed forward and rattled off the cause and process of the matter, cursing along the way, giving no one else a chance to speak.

When she finished speaking and caught her breath, Wang Laowu hurriedly explained, "No, no, we didn't steal, we were borrowing, we planned to borrow a little to repair the house, it's freezing and the house is leaking wind everywhere, we planned to borrow a little to patch it up."

"Borrow my foot, who borrows sand in the middle of the night? Who did you tell you were borrowing sand? Did you tell Mazu? And did Mazu answer you?" Ye Yaodong said unceremoniously.

"No, no... we were just borrowing it, we'll return it, we'll return it..." The old man bowed his body timidly.

"Return my ghost, you talk better than you sing, if you were going to return it, why were you sneaking around shoveling it in the middle of the night? And hiding when you saw people coming? Who are you treating like a fool?"

"No, we really only planned to borrow a little, we're all family, let it go, okay? Huh?" Wang Laowu said with a thick face, "Just let us go..."

Ye Yaodong threw the young man, who was like a dead dog, onto the ground and said, "In your dreams, who knows how much you stole? This is collective property, it's for building the Mazu Temple, if you steal collective property, you must let the village know."

"Ah, don't, don't~ Ah, Asheng... Asheng... hurry and help say something, we really only borrowed a little, don't tell the village, we'll be criticized..."

Ever since recognizing the father and son, Ye Yaosheng had been watching with a complex expression, wanting to speak but feeling embarrassed, feeling both awkward and ashamed.

Knowing that Wang Laohan Wang had recognized he was there too, he looked at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him speechlessly, "Brother Asheng, you wouldn't really treat him as your father-in-law, would you? The marriage is just a possibility, it's not too late to change, isn't it simple to want a wife and children? If you work hard for two years and save some money, you could even marry an 18-year-old."

"What nonsense are you talking about, the matchmaker has already settled it, how can I go back on my word?"

"Why can't you go back on it? People can even divorce after marriage, why can't you go back on it before marriage? I've never seen anyone so anxious to find a successor, the husband isn't even dead yet."

Don't blame him for speaking harshly, it was just talk leading to talk, and he really looked down on a woman who was already looking for a man to take over before her husband was dead.

This cousin looked pretty good in every way, and he didn't want him to be ruined by a pig, not to mention that if he married that woman, he wouldn't have peace for the rest of his life, and she had already given birth to three daughters.

It would be better to find a young one and work hard, isn't it simple to want a son? If he gets old, who knows if it will be hard to have children later.

After he said "let him find a young one," the old man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight him.

At this time, it was Ye Fu's turn to appear, he grabbed the old man and stopped him, "What are you doing? You're already at that age and still want to hit a young man, are you trying to scam me?"

"It's better to tear down ten temples than to destroy one marriage, look at what he's saying?"

Ye Yaodong hummed twice and said indifferently, "I'm telling the truth, it originally had nothing to do with me, but who told you to run into the muzzle of a gun?"

Ye Mu also put her hands on her hips, "What, can't people speak? The mouth is on us, not to mention Dongzi isn't wrong. Go, go, go, don't talk nonsense with them, take them to the Secretary and let the village solve it."

The old man was also a bit scared, he wanted to take advantage, but he didn't want to be talked about behind his back by the whole village.

"Asheng, you can't be heartless! Tell your relatives to let it go, we won't dare to do it next time, and we didn't succeed in stealing, we've already poured it back, is that okay?"

"So you admit it, it is stealing. You were talking so nicely just now, borrowing, I thought Mazu agreed to lend it to you."

Ye Yaosheng looked at Ye Yaodong with a headache, also feeling a bit embarrassed, "Dongzi, how about we let it go this time, I'll apologize to Third Aunt on their behalf. Jianqiang pushing Third Aunt just now wasn't intentional, he was probably too anxious and scared."

Ye Yaodong looked at him helplessly, "It's useless to tell me, he stole collective property, ask the others present if they agree to let it go like this? If everyone has no objections, then let it go."

"Ah, good, good..." Ye Yaosheng looked at the others again.

Everyone was familiar with each other and wouldn't be so ungracious, so after a few words, it was brushed over.

After everyone poured out the sand on the cart, they told the father and son to leave quickly.

After the two bowed their heads and left with ashen faces, they picked up the half-opened nylon bag, and everyone helped pull it down, covering the sand tightly.

And they took a few bricks to press on the edges of the nylon bag to prevent it from being blown up by the wind.

"Once it gets dark, the ghosts and monsters come out, they are everywhere, they want everything, and they don't have a shred of awe, even stealing from Mazu."

In this day and age, there really are many petty thieves, they are everywhere.

"Some people are just like that, they have no taboos, tomorrow I'll tell Mazu not to bless him, he got off easy today." Ye Mu also complained there.

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother amusedly, "Why did you come out again? And you timed it just right."

"Where is the timing? I'm not a fortune teller, how could I time it so accurately? I was at the door the whole time, just finished killing the toadfish and stood up, when I saw what looked like a flashlight beam here, thinking it must be you guys back, so I specifically came out to take a look."

"Finished killing so late?"

Everyone talked while walking, there was still a pile of fish at the collection point that hadn't been weighed.

"Isn't it, 1200 catties is not a small number, your two sisters-in-law started killing from dawn until dark, I came to help after I got off work, otherwise it wouldn't have been finished, there were too many."

"At this moment, some still haven't been washed, they have to be washed before they can be dried, the whole family is busy, even the little ones were called to help dry them."

"Is that so... I thought with many people it would be finished earlier."

"Those toadfish are hard to kill, sometimes you need scissors, sometimes a kitchen knife, and you have to scrape the stomach, it's not as easy to kill as other fish, especially the big ones."

"Then the quantity seems to be even more today, let's call another person to help kill tomorrow."

"More today? Alright then, let's call the neighbor Lan Da's wife to help kill tomorrow, when they were killing fish today, several neighbors came over to look and said if they needed people, just call them."

"Hmm, go back and ask Aqing, if you can't finish killing, just hire someone." ===== CHAPTER 548 =====
