Chapter 76: Wanting a Boat of One's Own

After guessing that an hour had passed, the three Lin Jishang left, and Ye Mu and the others entered the room anxiously.

"How is it? Is it really coming to buy our foundation?"

Ye Fu finished smoking a mouthful of water tobacco and nodded, "Don't know where they found a master, said our land has good feng shui and will prosper him, said his luck has been bad for these two years, want to turn luck."

"He is not from our village, what is he buying the land for?"

"Said he wants to build a small house, occasionally come back from sea and can't catch up to the county, want to dock at our pier and rest here."

"Is this person very rich?"

"Heard he has a big boat, not very clear about others."

Ye Yaodong leaned against the wall lazily, "This person is not honest, I guess he is smuggling to the high seas, big ports dare not dock, our village's small pier is just convenient for them to sneak in and unload goods at night, unloading goods at night must find a place to stay overnight?"

"This piece of land is not far from the beach, there are no residents around, isn't it just right? Maybe there is also the reason they think feng shui is good!"

A while ago he heard a bit of wind, Lin Jishang's family made a fortune by smuggling, just didn't know what they were smuggling to the high seas.

In their rural place, villagers are all about avoiding trouble, even if they know something, they discuss it privately, and won't specifically report anything.

The people in the room all gasped, smuggling to the high seas is illegal, Ye Fu was also very surprised, "How do you know?"

"Guess, saw him talking and hiding it, sigh, ignore it, anyway our family didn't lose, still earned a boat. Don't go out and shout blindly."

"How did you talk? What earned a boat?" Ye Mu felt like a cat's claw in her heart, but no one took the initiative to say it.

Others were also a bit anxious, "Right, how did you say?"

Ye Fu smiled and said: "Let the homestead we are building to Zhou Yechi, Lin Jishang's cousin. The wages and food expenses for this period of time belong to him, we choose another piece of land in the village, the money for the homestead also belongs to him, and by the way, he compensates us with a 6-meter small wooden boat."

Everyone's eyes lit up, isn't this equivalent to getting a boat for nothing?

"Without giving some benefits, why should we give him the homestead we are building?" Ye Yaodong said.

"Then Dad, since the land is sold to him, our work should also be calculated as wages, right?" Ye Eldest Sister-in-law couldn't help but ask.

"Right, you all follow to work, also have to calculate wages. Let your mother calculate in the evening, how many days worked, how much wages, food expenses also calculate, go to the commune to find Chen Shuji tomorrow together."

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law was happy.

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law asked happily: "Then where are we going to choose the new foundation?"

Ye Fu looked at the three brothers, "Where do you want to choose?"

"Choose the land in front of the beach, close to the sea, know the first time the tide falls, convenient to scour the sea."

To everyone, Ye Yaodong wouldn't say anything like facing the sea, spring flowers blooming, if his father and mother heard it, they would definitely hammer him again. Every day they are running for three meals, still facing the sea, spring flowers blooming?

Ye Fu frowned, "Typhoon day..."

"Don't build too close to the front, just don't let the waves hit it. This one is close to the beach, and you can walk a little less to the pier."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua had no opinion, building anywhere was fine.

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law and Ye Second Sister-in-law also felt what he said made sense, could see the tide rising and falling at any time, and going to the beach could be faster than others, as long as it was built in a position where the waves wouldn't hit.

"If you all have no opinion, then build in that area, go measure it tomorrow."

Ye Fu saw there was no voice of opposition, so he directly made the final decision.

Also because there were important things to do the next day, Ye Fu didn't go out to sea at night, and notified the workers to stop work temporarily overnight, waiting to resume work after determining the new homestead.

The small wooden boat was 6 meters long, with a real load of about 5 tons, not very old, this second-hand one would also cost two hundred yuan.

Ye Fu shook the oar and rowed a circle at sea, checked that there was no problem, and for the sake of insurance, invited the master who built the boat in their village to help check it again. After no problem, he was relieved to go to the commune to find Chen Shuji to be a witness, and by the way, mark the new homestead.

The whole Ye family was happy, just changing a homestead, and got a boat for nothing, there was no better thing than this.

After the transaction proceeded smoothly, Secretary Lin also confirmed with Ye Fu again and again that they were voluntary, and very simply reopened a certificate, and approved the piece of land by the sea, the money was naturally paid by Zhou Yechi, Lin Jishang's cousin.

After calculating the wages, the Ye family didn't care about that piece of land, and planned to notify the workers to go to the new foundation to dig pits tomorrow and resume work.

After returning home, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what do you plan to do with that small boat?"

"Mm? What plan?"

"You have a big boat, you can't drive that small boat!"

Ye Fu frowned, "What do you want to do?"

"Sell it to me!"

A 6-meter boat is not very small, he didn't have the ability to buy a big one, and he couldn't afford a new one, just happen to have an extra boat at home, the three brothers are not easy to divide, so he wanted to buy it.

You know, fishing boats are the tools for people by the sea to survive, very few people will resell a good boat, unless changing a small boat for a big boat, then the eliminated small boat will also be prioritized to sell to relatives, second-hand boats are not easy to buy, this boat today is his opportunity.

As soon as this was said, everyone was surprised, and all asked in unison: "You want to buy?"

"Can't I?"

Ye Fu frowned, "What's the need to buy your own family's boat, if you need it, just take it and drive."

"Then Dad, you have three sons, who do you plan to give it to?"

Uh... this question stumped Ye Fu.

Still Ye Mu had the heart to balance the family, she changed the topic: "Dongzi, why do you want to buy that wooden boat?"

"Isn't it because I want a boat of my own, can't afford a new one, can't buy a second-hand one, just happen to have an extra boat at home, the three brothers are not easy to divide, so I want to buy it."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua brothers heard him say he wanted a boat of his own, and their hearts were also moving, they also wanted one.

Ye Fu frowned and looked at him, "You want to go out to sea to fish yourself?"

He didn't believe it at all! If the eldest or second said they wanted a boat of their own, he would definitely believe it, but the third...

Criminal record!

Even if he looked diligent and willing to work recently, he was very skeptical about how long this guy could keep it up!

Why was he so skeptical? If the eldest or second son said they wanted a boat of their own, he would absolutely believe it, but the third son...

He had a long history of trouble!

Even though he had looked diligent and willing to work lately, he was very doubtful about how long this guy could keep it up!
