Chapter 583

Ah Guang laughed happily, "I have a good father! But it's a pity you guys didn't follow along to catch jellyfish that time. I heard from my father that jellyfish were rampant over there, as many as rice, and going out every day was like picking up money..."

"Sigh! Don't bring up the sore spot. Both of our guts have turned green with regret. If we had known, we would have thickened our faces and followed along."

"At that time, wasn't it also because we were afraid it wouldn't be safe? We had to sail for more than ten hours, and we were afraid that even if there was money to earn, we wouldn't have the life to spend it. And the place was unfamiliar, so we just let it be."

Ye Yaodong poured them wine and said slowly, "It doesn't matter. If you didn't catch it this year, you can go next year. Having one experience is enough."

He had been mentally prepared for a long time. Next year, he estimated that as long as there were big boats in the village, they would all follow behind his butt.

This is called following the trend!

Although it is dangerous and unknown, someone has earned money and returned safely.

He will have to calculate how to do it when the time comes. If he takes so many boats, half of the profit will have to be shared. We'll see then; it's still unknown how next year will be.

He hurriedly threw all the thoughts in his mind away; there was no need to consider this right now.

"Alright, buddy," Ah Zheng clinked his bowl with him, "We'll just wait for you to lead us to get rich and protect us. In the second half of next year, whether we eat dry food or drink thin gruel depends on you."

"Sure, no problem. Then pay the protection fee first." Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him and picked up his bowl to take a sip.

"Easy, tomorrow let Xiao Xiao send her daughter over to be your daughter-in-law, a child bride, and that will be the protection fee."

Xiao Xiao widened his eyes and glared at him, "Get lost, why don't you send your daughter over to be a child bride?"

Ah Zheng smiled cheekily, "My daughter is too young, just learned to walk. Sending her over will only add trouble to your family. Your daughter is just right! Send her over to be a child bride, your family can save a meal, and your wife won't have to take care of the child. The second child can be arranged immediately!"

"Damn you!"

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile, "It doesn't matter, you don't need to have an uneven division of labor. I have two sons. When they are a little older, I will send them out, one each to woo your daughters."

"Damn you!"

This time, the two said it in unison.

Xiao Xiao said fiercely, "I'll go back tonight and have a son. A woman three years older is like holding a gold brick. When the time comes, I'll tell my son to woo your daughter."

"Cut it out, drink more horse urine (alcohol) to sober up. You're not even drunk yet, and you've started dreaming."

Ye Mu was putting the bowl into the pot after eating, intending to scoop a ladle of water to wash it, when she heard them say this. She laughed and teased, "You can become in-laws. Let Dongzi carry a bag of rice for each of you, and exchanging the two daughters to be child brides is just right. Then when Chenghu and Yangyang grow up, they won't have to worry about not being able to marry a wife."

The old lady also said happily, "Right, right, you can exchange two bags of rice for two great-granddaughters-in-law."

Xiao Xiao's mouth also twitched, and he was speechless.

Ah Zheng also suddenly felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet. Was his daughter only worth two bags of rice?

No, one bag of rice??

At this moment, Chenghu, who was on the side, suddenly spoke, "I don't want a wife! A wife is a spouse, she has to sleep with me. I don't want it, three people sleeping is so crowded!"

"Ah? Hahahahaha hiccup"

Chenghu's face was covered with rice at this moment, and there were rice grains everywhere on the dining table, but he was saying funny things. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they almost died laughing.

Fortunately, none of them were drinking alcohol at this moment, otherwise, they would have sprayed it all over the table.

But Ye Fu wasn't so lucky. After the meal, he was sitting in front of the stove, holding his exclusive water pipe and smoking it with a gurgling sound. Suddenly hearing this, he choked himself and coughed wildly.

Ye Mu was washing the bowl with a rag and was also stunned.

Lin Xiuqing and the old lady sitting at the table also couldn't stop laughing.

As for Chengyang, he was still holding a bowl bigger than his face, also covered with rice grains, looking left and right, not knowing what these adults were laughing at.

He said in a low voice, "It is crowded! I don't want a wife either. Give mine to brother, I'll sleep with mother."

"Hahaha"

Now everyone laughed.

The two brothers were even more confused. The two looked at each other, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what they said.

"Brother, what is everyone laughing at?"

"I don't know either, maybe you said it wrong. You can only have one wife, you can't have two."

"Then I don't want it anymore."

"I don't want it either, it's so crowded."

The adults in the room were all laughed to death by them.

Lin Xiuqing's face was stiff from laughing, and she said, "Eat your food. Adults are joking, what does it have to do with you? Eat the rice on your faces, and pick up the rice on the table and eat it."

"Oh."

Chengyang moved the bowl to the side, lowered his head, and stretched out his tongue to lick the rice grains on the edge of the table clean. Incidentally, he stretched his tongue long, scraped a circle around his lips, and finding that he didn't touch any rice grains, he touched it with his hand, grabbed a few grains, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chenghu looked at his appearance of licking the table and was disgusted, "So disgusting, can't you pick it up with your hand?"

"Hehe, I'll just lick it."

As he spoke, he also imitated the action of a puppy stretching its tongue, continuously stretching and retracting his tongue.

After Ah Zheng finished laughing, he said with a smile, "Your two sons are quite cute."

"They're okay, just so-so. When they get naughty, I wish I could break their legs."

"Dongzi, if you want to buy a 24-meter boat, is the money enough? A boat this big costs a lot, right? Can I invest some money in you and take a silent share?"

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong was surprised by Xiao Xiao's words; his brain turned really fast.

Xiao Xiao laughed cheekily, "I think your luck is good, and such a big boat is the only one in the whole village. I wanted to invest some money in your new boat and take a silent share to see if I can earn more money in the future."

Nowadays, many fishing boats are bought in partnership; it can be said that basically all of them are. Very few are owned by one person; most are several brothers in the family joining together for one boat.

"Good guy, your brain moves really fast!" Ah Zheng also looked at Ye Yaodong with a smile, "I also want to hug your thigh. Such a big boat, if I can say I have a share in the future, just thinking about it makes me feel very prestigious."

Ah Guang looked at Dongzi. He knew he had enough money; he just didn't know if he would let everyone join in. If he was willing, he would naturally want to too.

Ye Yaodong looked at the hopeful gazes of the three and thought for a while before saying bluntly, "I haven't ordered it yet. If I do, I only need to pay a deposit of about three thousand yuan first, and the remaining balance will be settled upon delivery."

"I think I have two years to raise funds, so I should be fine. I've never partnered with anyone on this, so I don't know how to do it well. And it's such a big boat. When the time comes, we'll go out for several days before returning. I'm afraid the accounts won't be clear."

"Also, Haozi just partnered with Ah Guang, and this matter just finished. I don't know if there will be anything else later. I think if you have spare money, you can get another boat. Two people separate, one boat each, and earning money will be fast."

Xiao Xiao shrugged, "We've thought about it, but it's not easy to divide. Building a new one costs a lot. Who do you want the two of us to withdraw? So, we were thinking that if you could put up some money here, it would count as shares."

"That's true, the cost of a new boat is high, and it's not easy for two people to divide it for a while."

Ah Zheng asked with a cheeky face, "Then you've ordered a new boat, what about the old one? Don't you want to sell it to us?"

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Weren't we just bragging there, asking me to buy more boats and open a shipping company? Then I definitely can't sell it. I still want to keep it to earn money and learn from Ah Guang to earn a pot full of gold."

"Alright, then we'll ponder it later."

"It's fine for you to work together like this. Nowadays, fishing boats are basically several brothers partnering together," Ah Guang said.

"Isn't it because you earn money so fast that we also want to earn more? Dongzi flew out like a rocket all of a sudden, and we can't even touch his tail."

"He's not human, don't compare yourself to him."

"You're the one who's not human!"

Damn, that's accurate. He didn't know if he counted as a ghost that had possessed a body and returned to life, but fortunately, it didn't affect him, and he wasn't afraid of the scorching sun! He could even have children! That's the main point!

The friends are all on the right track now, busy earning money every day. They don't even have time to steal chickens and dogs together, and even drinking requires everyone to happen to be free at the same time.

Ye Yaodong felt that as everyone develops in the future, such opportunities might become fewer and fewer. However, seeing that everyone is living better than in their previous lives, he felt that the influence of his butterfly wings was quite good.

Sometimes when a group of fox friends and dog buddies get together, they just lack a sober person to lead them to be positive and upward.

After three rounds of drinking, the sky was pitch black. Ye Fu and Ye Mu finished their meal and organized the goods, but they were still drinking there.

And Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao also frequently came over to look after eating. Lin Xiuqing had just finished calculating the weight and money for the fellow villagers and was planning to send it to them when she happened to see the two sisters-in-law.

"Are Dasao and Ersao here to weigh the goods? Adong and the others are still drinking there. Why don't we weigh them tomorrow? The quantity sent by everyone today has already reached 1,000 jin, which is enough. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later for our own family. We want however much quantity you have."

Previously, thinking that so many people were pushing carts to weigh goods, she put her own family last. Later, just after receiving everyone's goods, a farce occurred.

And because it ended too late, everyone went to eat first. The goods of the two brothers were still next door and hadn't been sent over to be weighed. The two sisters-in-law were a bit anxious now.

Who doesn't want to have money in their pocket to feel at ease?

Ye Dasao's smile was a bit awkward, "Uh... then weighing it tomorrow is fine too."

Lin Xiuqing was afraid they would feel uncomfortable, so she said with a smile, "If the wind blows for another night, maybe it will be drier tomorrow, and we can receive a little more to weigh."

"That's fine, anyway we are all our own family. We'll receive it tomorrow morning, and Adong will happen to be back then, so he can weigh it."

"That's what I'm saying. The quantity is enough tonight, no need to be in a hurry. They are drinking there now, and it's not easy for me to call them, so we'll weigh it tomorrow."

"Good, good."

After appeasing the two sisters-in-law, Lin Xiuqing went to deliver the money with peace of mind.
