Chapter 576: Wife agrees

~11 min read 2,163 words

Along the way, the two pedaled their bicycles, chasing each other. This time it could be said that silence was better than sound.

The two didn't nag, and Ye Fu's ears weren't uncomfortable anymore, but his butt was jolted up constantly, so he could only tell them to ride slower.

But no one listened to him, and they still pedaled fast. He could only hold the bottom of the seat tightly, not letting himself bounce off.

Also thanks to the two of them chasing, it took over two hours to go, and only an hour and a half to come back.

It was just that his old bones were almost jolted apart.

Ye Fu held his waist, touched his butt, watched A-Guang go back, and then looked at Ye Yaodong. "You go back too, don't call me next time you two get together."

"Alright!"

As soon as Ye Yaodong returned home, he immediately returned to the room to soak his feet, and by the way, called Aqing into the room.

"Wife..."

"Don't call me wife, just call me by my name."

Lin Xiuqing's wool was still not leaving her hands, sitting on the stool opposite the bed, without even raising her head.

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"I'm just telling you about the situation of going to the shipyard this morning, I'm not asking you for money."

"Then tell me, I'm listening."

Ye Yaodong smacked his lips, thought about it, and decided to confirm first. "After we pay the 5,000 yuan in two days, we should still have about 10,000 yuan, right?"

Lin Xiuqing had an expression of 'I knew it'. "How much does it cost to order a new ship?"

"This is not certain, hard to say. It depends on what kind you want, then he can give you a quote."

"Oh, then you've seen it, you should have an idea in your heart, about how much money the one you want costs, right?"

"Hehe~ Shall I tell you about the situation of the ships in the factory first?"

"You tell me!"

Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, told her about what he saw today, and by the way, told her about the situation of various ships and the corresponding approximate prices.

"Hiss~ So expensive!" Lin Xiuqing pricked her finger with the iron needle in her hand while listening to him talk, and she screamed in pain.

"Ahem, eight or nine thousand isn't expensive, there's also more than 10,000..."

She widened her eyes, looked at him for a long while, looked at his feigned innocent and somewhat persistent eyes, and then fell silent again.

Thinking about it, she said again: "Isn't it pretty good for us to be like this now? I estimate there aren't many in the whole village richer than us, and we can still earn continuously and slowly, isn't it pretty good and stable?"

"If you want to change to a better, bigger ship, why don't we accumulate for two or three years before talking? By then, taking out 10,000 yuan, I estimate it won't be so heartbreaking."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his feet together and said seriously: "If you order now, I estimate the delivery schedule will be pushed to the end of the year after next. Didn't I just tell you? In the past few years, everyone has had no worries about life, and diligent people have saved some money, and all want to replace it with a bigger ship to earn more money."

"I heard that one in our village, one in the neighboring village, someone also ordered a ship, but the delivery schedule hasn't arrived yet."

"We don't need to take it out immediately. Just pay a 30% deposit first. We won't buy too expensive ones, so we should just pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan first, and the rest will be settled when the goods are delivered. Having nearly two years of time is enough for us to earn money to buffer, right?"

Lin Xiuqing also calculated an account in her heart.

Ye Yaodong continued to make persistent efforts: "Look at me this year, trawling, setting longlines, setting ground cages, catching squid, catching jellyfish, and now drying dried fish, I've earned nearly 10,000 intermittently. We'll sell the dried fish later, and we can earn about 2,000 yuan before the New Year."

"Calculated this way, don't we have the money in hand? Pay 5,000 yuan for the shop final payment, then pay a deposit of 3,000-something yuan, and we still have 9,000 yuan in hand. It's not a small amount, and with so much money left, it's enough for anything."

"And there's two years of time, we can still earn slowly, right? Earning nearly 10,000 a year, with nearly two years of time, I have enough to buy two more ships, don't you think?"

"Still buy two more ships? Thinking beautifully," Lin Xiuqing almost couldn't help but laugh at him. "The money hasn't been earned yet, and you've already calculated it."

"Isn't this secure and steady? The money for those dried fish, isn't it about to be in hand? And I can continue to earn, isn't it?"

"Look at us from nothing to something, it only took more than a year. We are destined to get rich!"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing this time. "Is the God of Wealth from your family? Still destined to get rich!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Ye Yaodong was also happy. Looking at his wife's appearance, she shouldn't be opposed anymore.

Harmony in the family brings prosperity. It is of course the best if the family can fully support him. Only when the whole family's strength is used in one place can it be prosperous!

"Then you decide. Anyway, it's also property. Ships are the foundation of our fishermen's survival. Buying one can also make money, which is a good thing."

"The money in our hands is calculated to be enough, and it's not tight. When the time comes, don't sell the ship at home, right? It's a pity to sell it well, and you've also spent a lot of effort."

Lin Xiuqing was just an ordinary woman, never having dreamed of great wealth, and what she had in her mind was just being content with small wealth. This was still the idea she had now; before, she only thought about living a life.

Although she wasn't smart, she also knew that money in her hands wouldn't increase, and it was enough to spend. Moreover, seeing A-Dong still quite persistent.

Under the condition of ensuring enough money in hand, she could only support him. After all, he was the head of the family, and many times it was proven that his tossing was right.

"Not selling. Of course, the ship at home won't be sold. I still have to open it for two years. Even if I take over the new ship, this ship can continue to be placed at home to make money. When the time comes, see if Dad wants to open it himself, or directly take it to collect rent."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the wall at this time and whispered: "If we change to a big ship in two years, Dad is old and can't work, if he wants to stay at home, it's no problem to help us collect rent. We still count the wages for him."

"But if he wants to open it himself, then does Dad have to take back the ship from Big Brother and Ye Erge? He can't not open his own ship, put it there to collect rent, and then specifically rent ours?"

"Things in two years, talk about it in two years. It's unclear whether Dad will go out to sea together, but he definitely won't take back the ship from Big Brother and Ye Erge. That ship is almost equivalent to giving it to Big Brother and Ye Erge. I estimate that in another year or two, Dad probably won't even want the rent."

Lin Xiuqing's mouth was slightly open in surprise, wanting to say something, but closed it again.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. In another year or two, Dad will have taken back his own cost, and he won't keep earning his son's money.

Originally, the ship wasn't very good, broken and rotten, and giving money for too long exceeded the original value too much, and the two sisters-in-law probably had opinions.

She originally wanted to ask, will there be any other compensation for us? Hesitating whether to ask?

Thinking about it, she still asked.

Although it's not good to be too calculating, this is not a matter of calculating. It is also appropriate for the three brothers to be treated equally on the surface.

Moreover, they are now supporting and filial to the old lady, how can it be seen that their family pays more?

Ye Yaodong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her asking this.

"Dad mentioned it before, saying that we have our own ship, so that ship is almost given to Big Brother and Ye Erge to open, and he will secretly compensate me a little later. He said so, but I don't care, and I don't count on his money. It's very good that he can support his own old age."

He emphasized another sentence: "We don't have little money in our hands, it's several times that of Big Brother and Ye Erge's family. What they earn still needs to be divided by two people, but I swallowed it all by myself, only counting wages for Dad."

"And our family has many treasures. Although they will only be valuable slowly in the future, they are also rare good things. We have already surpassed them a lot. Whether Dad gives compensation or not, we shouldn't care too much."

Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips. "Mm, alright!"

Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied that she didn't make trouble and say anything else.

What the old man is willing to do is the old man's business. As long as it's not too excessive, he doesn't care much.

Just like the old lady, although she is partial to him, partial to the armpit, but she didn't say that she is bad to other children and grandchildren. She will still go to the cousin's house to walk around and care about it from time to time.

"Then are you going to the shipyard again tomorrow?"

"I estimate it's too late tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to collect dried fish. I estimate it will take most of the day to get busy. I have to wait until the day after tomorrow after delivering the goods, and then go to chat and see when there is more free time. I have to ask clearly about the specific requirements and things before I can decide."

"Ah right, tomorrow a part should be dry. Today I felt it was quite dry, tomorrow it should be almost ready to collect."

"Mm."

"Hurry up and wipe your feet, the water is cold. I'll go cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat. You didn't eat at noon, and you soaked your feet when you came back. I was also called into the room by you to talk for a long time."

Lin Xiuqing put down the wool in her hand and muttered while walking, "I don't know how it was done, such a big person, riding a bicycle and being able to ride into a ditch, didn't make your father laugh to death."

"It's all A-Guang's fault, otherwise I definitely couldn't have ridden into the ditch."

"Forget it, you're all people without a proper shape."

As soon as the bedroom door creaked open, the old lady's voice outside immediately came.

"Finished washing feet, finished talking? I've already cooked the noodles. I was afraid of disturbing your talk, so I put them in the pot first. Anyway, this won't swell. If you're done, come out and eat while it's hot."

"Hey, coming."

The old lady also specifically took the wool slippers she had just finished crocheting today into the room to give to Ye Yaodong.

"Just finished washing feet, it's comfortable to wear slippers at home, try to see if the size is good to wear?"

Ye Yaodong had already stretched into his liberation shoes, and took them out again, changing into slippers. "The size will be suitable, quite warm."

The old lady smiled kindly. "It's good that it's warm, come out and eat noodles quickly, how was the ship today?"

"Quite good, except for being a bit expensive, there's no other problem."

"How much money is missing? If it's not enough, ask your father and mother to borrow a little, I also have a little coffin money..."

"No need, it hasn't been decided yet. Even if it's decided, you only need to pay a deposit first, you don't need to worry."

"Good, good, you are also promising now, you just decide for yourself, just discuss it with Aqing, you can refer to your father's side."
