Chapter 577: Follow-up on the rat

Ye Yaodong was full, and had nothing to do, so he went to take a nap.

In the middle of winter, only the quilt is the most comfortable.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that he woke up, awakened by Aqing.

"Next door, Sister-in-law Zhou and the others left a lot of fish a day early. Just now they came to me and said it was dried, and said they wanted to weigh the part that was dried first."

"Ah? What's the rush?" Ye Yaodong sat up, sleepy-eyed. "I'll collect them one by one tomorrow."

"Maybe the quantity is too large, they have no bottom in their hearts, not solid, and want to sell what can be sold to us first."

She basically knew the little thoughts of these women, all thinking about selling early, so the money could be in hand early.

Usually, when they are free, they also like to go to the two sisters-in-law next door to chat, but only her house has a dog, so it's inconvenient to visit.

Otherwise, they would have to sit at her house every day chatting and listening to the radio. Who let the entertainment activities in the countryside be too few.

When she was free, she occasionally went over to chat a few words, but besides chatting and gossiping, what she heard were all side-by-side chats about whether they would still collect after the year? Would they collect more later?

Some even asked her if the shop in the city was paid, and if they were going to move to the city to live? Would they sell the ship and the whole family would go to the city to enjoy blessings?

These questions almost made her laugh to death. Fortunately, their family was surrounded, and there was a dog there.

Otherwise, according to the model of their family vigorously collecting dried fish recently and showing off, everyone could come over every day to chat, brag, and build a good relationship.

"Get up, don't lie down, it'll be dinner time in a while. Sleeping too much during the day, you won't be able to sleep at night."

"Is there a difference between selling today and selling tomorrow? So anxious, really, can you be afraid that I'll run away?" Ye Yaodong frowned, muttered a few words, and also got up to put on clothes.

"Maybe it's because they are afraid that we won't keep our word. After all, the quantity is quite large."

The quantity wasn't very large, just a ship partnered by the two Zhou brothers. They left it a day early before, and now they had carried three gunny sacks over and were waiting in the courtyard.

As soon as Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and walked out, he greeted them with a smile, and then didn't talk nonsense, directly poured it out to check, picked out the ones that weren't dry enough after checking, and then weighed them.

Lin Xiuqing took the money and came out of the room. After weighing, she calculated the money for them on the spot, so that people wouldn't worry.

Zhou Da took the money and smiled. "You should want this before the year, right?"

"Want it, want it. As long as there is good weather and going out to sea, you can dry as much as you want before the year."

"Good, good, good, then we can rest assured to dry more."

"You collect the dry ones in advance tomorrow afternoon. It doesn't matter if it's a bit late, just make it a bit drier."

"Good, good, good. Just now it wasn't touched carefully, and some weren't dry enough. Then we will send it over tomorrow evening at this time."

"Can."

Anyway, he was going to deliver it in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and it would be just right to collect it tomorrow night.

Caught for three consecutive days, everyone should be able to dry four or five thousand jin, but some fish are big and some are small.

Small ones dry fast. How many jin can be collected tomorrow, it's really hard to say, but the large quantity should be enough. If it's not enough, it doesn't matter if you use miscellaneous dried fish to make up for it.

He specifically said when he wanted goods that he didn't want too many miscellaneous fish, to avoid someone cheating, collecting all the miscellaneous fish of all their relatives, and reselling them to him, which would be too dog-like.

Anyway, they also have miscellaneous fish dried on several ships, and if the number is not enough, collecting a little randomly is also a lot.

The next day, he originally thought that everyone would be anxious, collecting the dried fish early in the morning and sending them over, but unexpectedly, they didn't.

This was beyond his expectation. After all, the Zhou family next door was so anxious yesterday that they couldn't wait until today, and they sent it over yesterday evening.

He waited for half the morning and didn't wait for anyone to come to the door, so he rode a bicycle to go around, intending to go take a look, and by the way, simply tell everyone to send it over in the evening.

This way, the quantity of dry ones will be more, and he can also spare time to go to the shipyard to chat and see.

When he turned to A-Guang's house, A-Guang heard that he was going again, and quickly expressed that he would go together.

"You still want to follow?"

"Go with you to take a look, to avoid you being cheated alone. If I go, at least I can have one more person to discuss."

"Alright, there can also be someone to brag on the road."

This time, the two of them rode a bicycle each on the road, which was rare that they didn't bicker and fight, but instead chatted somewhat seriously.

"Dongzi, are you really planning to buy a big ship of 20-something meters?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I still run to go? If it's just for sightseeing and understanding, one trip is enough."

"But such a big ship, it's not something that can be settled with two or three thousand yuan. Aren't you about to pay the final payment for the shop? Although that ship doesn't need to pay the full amount immediately, the deposit alone needs several thousand! Several thousand here, several thousand there, it's not a small amount!"

"I know, I've calculated it."

"Good guy, it seems you really didn't earn less money this year, the rumors in the village are not false!"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him. "Doesn't your father tell you how much money I earned from catching jellyfish? Recently, collect dried fish again, and selling a batch can also earn a little."

"Don't you plan to keep a little? So much money, just throw it out? I thought you would take it slowly, wait for a period of time to earn more money, and thought Third Sister-in-law would also stop you."

A-Guang really didn't expect that Lin Xiuqing could support him in throwing out all his family foundation?

He also thought that with the persuasion of his father-in-law and the obstruction of his wife at home, Dongzi's hope of changing to a big ship would be aborted.

Unexpectedly, only one night passed, and today he was going again immediately.

"Cut~ Your Third Sister-in-law is very enlightened. As soon as I said it, she supported me without a word. She also said that I am her heaven, the head of the family, and I can just make the decision. She also said that marrying a chicken follows a chicken, marrying a dog follows a dog, marrying a shoulder pole follows it, and if I am destitute in the future, she will accompany me to beg, and earn money to support me."

A-Guang was riding a bicycle, and listening to him, goosebumps all over his body rose, and he even shivered. This damn meat-numbing, who believes it?

"Stop talking, okay? The cow is blown to the sky. I have goosebumps all over the floor. You say if you go begging, she will hand you a bowl, I believe that."

"Hey? Not right. I don't envy you going begging at all. You just go! I can throw you five cents or a dime then."

"Hey? Not right, can't beg to my house, shameful, phew, then take a broom and sweep you out."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him.

"Oh right, forgot to ask you, that... rat... right rat, his stealing and hiding fish two days ago, did your father tell you when he went back later?"

"Told me, mother of a damn, at first I didn't know, it wasn't until the second day when I went to pick up the goods that my father asked me to check carefully, and I knew."

As soon as he mentioned this, A-Guang got angry. Originally, two days had passed, and he had forgotten a bit.

"My father said that looking at him as my friend, looking at my face, this first time, let's just skip it, and check carefully later."

"Skip a fart, when I went to pick up the goods that day, I told him directly after receiving the goods, let him go to my house to settle the account after eating, pay him the money for these days first, and the ship was directly taken back, not given to him anymore."

"I was kind, thinking that after all, we were friends, taking care of him, and he could earn more money, although he couldn't get rich, he could be better than before."

"Unexpectedly, he even hid privately, and his wife is even more of a thing. Since it was on the pier, with so many people, she shouted there, saying what had been agreed, partnering until March next year, and saying I didn't keep my word."

"Mother of a damn, almost made me angry to the sky, I told the rat directly, don't you have a count in your heart about the fish you hid yesterday? There is one, there is two, friends don't even have trust, then what kind of hair is there to cooperate."

"The day before yesterday, what time? Alas, it's a pity, I wasn't there to see it, what happened later?" Ye Yaodong had no interest.

"Later? Later, what can he do? That's my ship, I said take it back, take it back. Originally, they were the ones who were unreasonable first, the rat murmured twice, didn't say anything, it was his wife who was really disgusting."

"Actually shouting that the fish was taken back to dry, that must be how much money was sold after drying, and half of it was divided to them, instead of saying that the fresh price was divided in half."

"Alas, damn, his wife can really calculate! This fish cargo originally belonged to me to handle, I love to calculate how much money, how much money, originally selling to the acquisition point is also so much money, I didn't calculate less for her."

"Guess what she did later?"

Ye Yaodong's eyes instantly lit up with the raging fire of gossip. "What happened?"

"Alas, mother, she actually shouted to call the brothers in the family, and went to my house to settle the account together. Saying that not a cent can be less for them, saying the fish was caught by them, the dried fish dried out, of course they also have half, and saying they want to go to my house and take half directly."

"This brain is a bit unclear! Don't know who she married? Thinking that there are many brothers in the family, so she can walk sideways unreasonably? Thinking that the whole village is theirs? Who doesn't have some relatives and friends, just their family can?"

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines!

Feeling that she was quite... ah phew! Can't compare, insulting his mother, his mother is reasonable and clear-headed.

"Then? What happened later?"

"Later? Later, there was no later, they didn't go to my house to settle the account yesterday. Didn't settle the account, I didn't send it to him, the money is with me, the anxious one is not me."

"This is unreasonable no matter where it is said, and they still dare to shout and make trouble loudly! So the old saying is quite reasonable, marry a wife to marry a virtuous one, otherwise a bad wife can harm descendants for three generations!"

"Being cheated by oneself is fine, but also implicate sons and grandsons, the whole family must be ruined."

Ye Yaodong agreed very much, marrying a good wife is the foundation of family prosperity.

"Then you haven't come to settle the account yet, I estimate this matter is not over, and it will have to be tossed again."

"Alas, I think so too, annoying to death, if I had known, I couldn't be hindered by face, I should have firmly said not to rent."

"Sigh, that's what I was thinking too. It's so annoying. If I had known, I shouldn't have let face get in the way; I should have firmly said I wouldn't rent it out."
