Chapter 927: The First Remittance

~25 min read 4,869 words

Pei Fu added, "You have to make it clear to him that he was the one who sent people to follow us first. This is his immorality first, and he should be ashamed."

"Then you generously make it public, tell him without counting past grievances, it is best to bring him on the boat, take him to go, it shows sincerity and can slap his face. Next year, we don't need to worry about him. If he wants to earn agency fees, he will bring boats over himself."

"Telling this place also offsets the favor of his early notification. We will do our own things this year. With this place, he can earn more agency fees anyway."

"As for the villagers in our village, we don't interfere with who they want to sell the cargo to. Those who want to settle on the spot, let Ah Guang settle on the spot for them. Those who don't want to settle on the spot, can also let Ah Guang settle once every few days."

Ah Guang nodded repeatedly. He can do it. If it weren't for the fact that there was too much money in his hands and he wasn't at ease, otherwise he could wait until all fishing was finished and go back to settle.

He was also so happy that his mouth couldn't close. Originally, he didn't want to divide money. Now, it won't be long before he can swallow it alone, without dividing money to that old bastard.

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. This is called not interfering.

However, everyone coming over together last year can be considered as opening up the territory together.

This year, everyone really had some small thoughts, from Chen Jiannian bringing two boats himself, to him and Ah Guang finding a way to be intermediaries and wanting to share a piece of the pie, to Chen Jiannian calling people to follow them to find fishing spots, and finally to his sharing and parting ways.

This is also inevitable, just that in just a few days, they completed this inevitable process.

The progress was unexpectedly fast.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that it wouldn't be able to keep that trench so quickly.

Ye Fu echoed, "The in-law is right. Must tell him clearly. Telling the location is to repay his favor. Bringing his relatives over is also a favor, so they offset each other. Each does their own thing, which saves playing tricks."

"Anyway, following us, he didn't lose anything. He can earn more next year, and he can keep earning from now on."

"Okay, since it's decided, I'll bring Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao over first when we dock in the morning."

"Then your Uncle Lin, Uncle Zheng... and Ah Guang's uncle..."

"That would be too many, right?"

People have closeness and distance, and ten fingers have long and short. He wants to bring them two over first, and then bring others over when it is made public.

Pei Fu smiled, "Then bring Ah Guang's uncle over first too? Others wait until it is made public?"

"Then how is he going to transport? Isn't he partnering with those Zhou Da brothers?"

"That's also..."

"Bringing Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng is also the two of them partnering. Bring them two over, and they can take turns transporting. Bringing others is equivalent to no different from making it public."

Pei Fu thought about it and felt it was right, "Then okay, just do as you say, bring those two families over first, others wait a bit. Anyway, try to fish for two more days. When we find a house to rent and can't hide it, you go talk to Chen Jiannian."

"Okay, wait until we dock, I'll ask Ah Guang to find it. Anyway, he is free after collecting the cargo. Let him ask Yang Guoan to help see if there is any suitable place near the pier or near the Gongan Bureau."

Ah Guang hurriedly patted his chest to guarantee, "This is on me, I will find the house today."

"Then shall we dock early?" Ye Fu asked uncertainly.

"Early, so as not to let people wait for a long time, and avoid being blocked if it is too late. Just stagger it. Today's time is also advanced by half an hour. Tomorrow we will postpone it by half an hour, first catching them off guard."

Fishing for jellyfish properly, didn't expect to play tricks.

"Then just do this first. It won't be so troublesome after it is made public."

"Hmm, just do this first. See if Ah Guang can find a house to rent today. If we can find a house to rent early, each fishes their own, maybe we can drag it for a few more days."

Everyone nodded.

"Then if we move ashore, do we still have to run back to collect the nets on the island every morning?"

"No, drag a net to the island to divide before evening, collect it by the way, divide it together and move it to the boat, dock to sell cargo, and then return to the rental house. This saves running back and forth."

Ye Fu and Pei Fu both nodded, feeling that this was no problem.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua didn't say much throughout the whole process. Anyway, his father and the others made the decision, and they just did whatever everyone said.

After saying it, they also greeted their respective fishing boats, returned to their own boats, and continued to be busy with today's fishing.

Jellyfish are really increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and fishing boats are pushed outward by the increasing jellyfish every day.

The spectacular scene of last year is being displayed day by day.

Ye Fu sent the cargo back early in the morning. Ah Guang also followed ashore to call and contact the car, and also thought in his heart that he would go to rent a house after collecting the cargo.

And after Ye Fu finished selling the cargo, he also saw Ah Zheng driving the boat back to deliver the cargo. He waited for a few minutes, and after people finished selling, he took him away. Others who docked a little later could only see the back of their fishing boats.

After taking Ah Zheng and finding Xiao Xiao's boat, several boats drove towards the trench.

Both childhood friends knew that Ye Yaodong's fishing volume in these two days was much more than theirs. Although they also partnered with two boats to fish together, they knew the gap at a glance when they met occasionally.

However, they didn't think much about it, just thinking that because they came last year, they had enough experience, and it was normal to catch more.

And they didn't stare at how much money he sold, just met once or twice.

When Ye Fu brought them to the fishing location, the mouths of the dozen people were wider than eggs.

"Wo... cao... cao cao cao... ah..."

"Damn... damn, Dongzi has been fishing here these few days? My goodness, this is more than rice. No wonder they have a large boat every day. If they don't fish hard, it's unreasonable."

"So many, I grass, it's really a treasure land. Where do we need to look everywhere? At most, the boat moves twice. Damn, it's really a lot."

"Is this probably the source?"

"Looks like it. So jellyfish also have a source?"

"Really a lot, hurry up and fish. Just knowing that following Dongzi has meat to eat, fortunately I made up my mind to buy a boat and follow. Otherwise, if I missed this, I would want to jump into the sea."

"Yes, yes, you all take bamboo poles and hurry up to poke, fish more, I want to do a big job."

"Dongzi is so good, such a good place, directly brought us to share, 555... he is my reborn parent from now on..."

"Crack!"

Ah Zheng's father slapped him directly on the forehead, and said unhappily: "Hurry up and fish, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Bei (I) am here, who do you want to recognize as Lin Bei (I)?"

"Fish, fish, fish, fish immediately," Ah Zheng jumped up excitedly, "Got rich, got rich."

"Just say they have so much harvest every day, didn't expect to find such a good place. You made a good friend. This trip, we definitely don't need a month, the boat can pay for itself."

"I thought so too, Dad..."

The boatmen of the two boats had already recovered from the shock and seized the time to take bamboo poles and hand nets, and started fishing.

Ye Yaodong saw their boat coming, but he was busy dividing and didn't have time to say hello.

Seeing that they also quickly invested in fishing nearby, he didn't look at them.

Now these jellyfish quantities look a lot, just don't know if the speed of gushing can keep up with the fishing speed of a dozen fishing boats by then.

By the afternoon, they still docked half an hour early. However, when they docked this time, there was already a car waiting. They didn't even meet others and ran away.

Until evening, when dragging a net to the island to divide, Ye Yaodong told everyone that they planned to rent a house ashore, and mentioned the Haijing Bureau they met this morning.

"Because it was reported by passing fishing boats, so our large group of boats gathered on the island, which also attracted the attention of the Haijing Bureau. They intercepted and checked us on the sea this morning, and let us go ashore for rest, don't gather on the island, so as not to cause unnecessary accidents."

"Then everyone will be scattered after going ashore? Then will it be unsafe? What if they see we are from out of town..."

"Didn't you say you were bullied and driven everywhere by locals last year?"

"Then everyone is scattered, will they be robbed by local hooligans..."

As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, everyone talked to each other.

He comforted them again, and talked about how they discussed renting a house on the fishing boat today. Anyway, it is the same huddling together, don't be too scattered.

Renting a house can also accommodate dozens of people. When out, just find a place to lie down.

Everyone nodded, as long as they are not scattered.

"Then it seems okay..."

"Then wait until we dock, ask Ah Guang, don't know if he asked."

"That's also good. At least after going ashore, it is more convenient to use water. The fishing boats partnering during the day leave two people to watch the house, and by the way, dry jellyfish blood, cook, etc., don't have to worry about rain... ah phew... crow's mouth, you pretend I didn't say..."

"Can't rain, can't rain, if it rains, jellyfish won't emerge, delaying fishing..."

"Then wait until we dock, ask Ah Guang."

Ye Yaodong's mouth doesn't know if it is really opened, crow's mouth.

When dividing in the evening, talking to everyone, he mentioned it casually. As a result, it really rained at night.

However, fortunately, Ah Guang's efficiency was also very high. When they went ashore in the evening, he had already rented four civilian houses. The distance was not far, and they were within 10 meters of each other.

After they finished selling the cargo, they could directly move their personal belongings on the boat in, and could also pull the living materials piled on the island ashore.

However, he was cunning and didn't care about the two boats brought by Chen Jiannian. During the day, Chen Jiannian also saw him busy finding a house, and thought Ah Guang would arrange for them.

Who knew that when distributing houses ashore, there was simply no business for those two boats.

"Ah, Comrade Chen Jiannian knew that I was running around looking for a house all day today, settling our villagers. I thought he would also arrange for you."

"There are four houses in total. Dongzi's family has four boats, which is more than 20 people. My family has three boats, which is also nearly 20 people. There are also other people in our village, which is more than 30 people. Can't accommodate you."

"These are all villagers in our village. Their cargo these few days has also been collected by me. It is right for me to arrange them well. The rent is also paid by me, don't need them to pay for renting a house."

"You guys go ask Comrade Chen Jiannian, did he find it for you?"

"After collecting the cargo, I don't know where he ran to. Who should we ask to find someone?"

Chen Jiannian has been collecting cargo on the shore, not living on the island like everyone else, and then going ashore together when collecting cargo. He stays on the shore.

Those people stood at the door of the open space at a loss. Everyone went ashore to rent a house. They couldn't live on the island with two boats, right?

Just, the sky was already getting dark. Everyone has distributed where to live, and they are moving things back and forth from the boat. Only they stood stupidly in place, not knowing what to do.

Others didn't care about them either.

Originally, they didn't know each other much, just stayed on the island for four or five nights together at night.

Ye Yaodong and the others ignored the people at the door. They all remembered that these people wanted to follow them to find fishing spots this morning. It was good not to beat them up, still want to settle? No way, think of a way yourself.

However, Ah Guang was also smart enough to know how to buy people's hearts, directly saying that he would pay the rent, and didn't need everyone to pay for renting a house. If they parted ways with Chen Jiannian next, everyone would definitely give him the cargo.

Those people's mood fell to the bottom, but they had no reason and no position to complain.

Originally, they were not from the same village. People didn't have the obligation to arrange everything for them. If they wanted, they should ask Chen Jiannian to help.

So they stood at the door for a while, and seeing them want to drive the boat to the island to move things, they followed.

Today is already like this, and the sky is dark, they can only recognize it. At most, they continue to sleep on the boat for one night, and ask Chen Jiannian to find a house nearby tomorrow, following the large force.

Ye Yaodong and the others moved the living materials on the island to the rented house. After finishing, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

This was the only time to gather and talk.

"Thinking that I have to face Chen Jiannian tomorrow, and have to divide money to him, my heart is as uncomfortable as eating fly shit. Originally, I didn't care about his people today."

"It rained outside. Don't know if there is any fishing tomorrow. Fortunately, it is a coincidence. It has been sunny for so many days, and it rained when we went ashore today. This also avoids those jellyfish blood being rained on. Everyone can sleep well at night. Otherwise, it is not easy to sleep on the boat when it rains?"

Ah Guang gloated, "Those people have no shelter from the wind and rain on the sea. It is estimated that they were caught off guard by the rain at night."

"Take a nylon bag to cover the top of the fishing boat, and you can sleep. It is just that the wind will blow the rain into the boat. When it rains, it should be busy moving things."

Ye Fu said, "It rained again at night. Maybe those people's psychology is unbalanced, and they are scolding us behind our backs. After they settle ashore, you look at it and tell Chen Jiannian the location directly."

"One day early or one day late is not much different from us, but Ah Guang can not divide money to him, and can collect more cargo from villagers and earn more money."

Ye Yaopeng also followed, "Mainly, everyone didn't care about them this time. I think after they settle down and have time, I think they will definitely block us early in the morning."

Ah Guang also said, "Didn't follow successfully today, if they can go to sea tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let them miss it again, they will definitely be prepared. Things don't happen three times."

He of course also hopes that everyone catches more. The villagers were bought by his renting house operation. After getting rid of Chen Jiannian, the one who earns big money next is him.

"Anyway, look at it in these two days. The cargo in the trench is not endless. Who knows if it can persist until the end of the fishing season under the fishing of so many boats? After fishing, everyone has to go to the sea to find it scattered."

The quantity caught by more than a dozen boats in one day can be fished by them for three days. It is fine to be one day late. He of course has to consider from his own position.

However, after it clears up, it can probably only shake off fishing for one or two days. As Ah Guang said, things don't happen three times. If you really want to, at most two days after clearing up, people will definitely wait there early in the morning to guard the rabbit.

By then, there will be no Haijing Bureau to stop people for them. In order to repay the favor, they must inform Chen Jiannian in advance, so that they can maximize their interests.

"Then wait until they settle down, after clearing up, and then talk about it depending on the situation."

Ye Yaohua hesitated, "We are not on the island now. Will those people steal the cargo in our nets tomorrow morning?"

"Then there is no way. If they steal it, we don't know, and we don't know when the rain will stop."

The rain outside is pattering now, it looks like it is getting bigger. Maybe we can't go to sea tomorrow.

"Anyway, we have settled down, so sleep early. Whether we can go to sea or not depends on tomorrow."

"Then sleep first. We have been busy for a day, plus moving until now, we are all tired."

The rented house is also a bungalow. The four houses are within 10 meters of each other. Although the house leaks, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

It is much better than sleeping in the open on the boat or on the island, and there is a well nearby, which is very convenient to get water.

If you want to dry jellyfish blood, the open space at the door is fine, just need someone to watch.

When they moved over in the evening, many people nearby were also drying jellyfish blood, or pickling jellyfish with salt and alum. It is said that after the fishing season, the villages around the entire coastline are basically jellyfish.

When they were talking, many boatmen went directly to the empty space in the house to spread mats and sleep. The bed was left empty.

It is very strange for two big men to lie on a bed to sleep. Ye Yaodong gave the bed to his father, and he also hugged the mat and found an empty space to spread it and sleep.

The next day was still continuous rain, which was a rare rest.

Coming out to fish for four or five days, there was really no rest. Everyone woke up this morning and looked at the rain outside, and rarely continued to sleep a return cage.

And it rained, so there was no need to collect jellyfish. Chen Jiannian of course didn't appear on the pier. No one knew whether he lived at a friend's house, or in a hostel, or where he went?

Anyway, the two boats he brought were asking for houses everywhere early in the morning. They couldn't rely on others, they could only rely on themselves.

And the villagers brought out by Ye Yaodong couldn't help but rejoice, all praising Ah Guang for being smart, knowing how to plan ahead, and helping them arrange four houses in advance, renting them in advance. Otherwise, they would be the ones suffering in the rain outside, embarrassed.

And, the key is that Ah Guang didn't calculate their rent, providing it for free.

Happiness is compared.

The money Ye Yaodong sold in these few days is hidden everywhere, because in the trench, it is equivalent to the peak season every day. His two boats earn more than a thousand a day for the harvest and jellyfish blood.

Only the first day was less, because there was no jellyfish blood. Jellyfish blood was sold on the second day for the previous day.

In just four or five days, his cloth bag was bulging with big unity. He didn't have time to count. Today is a rainy day, he plans to go directly to the Youdian Bureau to remit all of it.

Saving it in the post office, if it is saved for a month or two, won't it be tens of thousands? Taking it out is estimated to require buying a password box to hold it.

That is too sensational.

He still goes to remit every few days, and sending it home is the safest. He would rather pay more interest to the bank. Anyway, he has earned so much, safety first.

When he was preparing to go to the bank to remit, he also told his older brother and second brother, asking them if they were going.

However, the two of them were a bit reluctant to pay the handling fee. They had been listening to others saying they wanted to save it in the bank and take a sum when they left.

They didn't earn less in these few days. If they remitted 5000 back, they would have to pay 50 in interest. A full boat of boatmen, one person a day is only three yuan. The wages of these few days combined are not 50, but because of remitting money back, they have to deduct 50.

Thinking about it makes their hearts ache.

"Earn more, spend more, earn less, spend less. Since we earned more, it is nothing to spend some handling fees. Safety first. If you save it in the bank, the deposit slip gets wet or is gone, and you have nowhere to cry. And when you save it for a month or two, tens of thousands, how do you plan to take it?"

The two looked at each other, and instantly felt that if it accumulated, it seemed too large.

They are different from others. They sell too much, and it is a bit unrealistic to save in the bank like others.

"Then we will go to remit with you, send it back safely, and settle the accounts when we go back."

"Hmm, keeping a few dozen on you is already enough. The remittance handling fee is also calculated into the public, and it is not much after averaging."

Ah Guang nodded, "That's also right. There are only women at home. It is not appropriate for anyone to take it. Whoever's money, whoever's family takes it."

"Then if they say wait until we go home, let me settle the accounts for them again, I can't agree to help them save the remittance handling fee."

"You look at it yourself. If so, the responsibility you and Huimei bear is too large. One boat is five or six hundred a day, more than a dozen boats, have to remit several thousand every day. Huimei has to go to the Youdian Bureau to take money every day, and the remittance handling fee every day must be borne by you."

50 a day, 20 days a month is a thousand, two months is at least one or two thousand. This accumulation is a lot.

Although he earns everyone's intermediary money, he doesn't need to paste so much profit in.

Settling on the spot is very friendly. Collect cargo, take money, and directly throw the responsibility out, letting those people worry about it themselves.

"You can settle for them every two or three days, and it is fine to settle when you go home."

"I know."

A few people walked and chatted, and the rain became heavier and heavier. They specifically walked along the edge, walking under the eaves of people's houses.

It is wet on a rainy day, and nothing can be done, so it is only suitable for sleeping.

After arriving home, not long after, others also returned one after another. It was cold and clear everywhere, and there was really nothing to visit.

A group of people returned to the rental house and started playing cards again boredly.

Ye Yaodong also did the same.

Not long after, the rain caused a power outage. They still lit candles and continued to play cards regardless of the wind and rain.

Power outage on a rainy day is a common occurrence. They were used to it at home, not to mention that it hadn't been powered for a few years.

Others outside were not as lucky as them. They were drenched like drowned rats and couldn't find a house.

Until evening, after asking around the entire surrounding area, an old man was willing to rent out a small house, but they had to wait for the rain to stop before moving.

Those people had to return to the boat first, avoiding the rain under the nylon shed, waiting for the rain to stop.

It just happened that this rain was drizzling and didn't stop. Although there were nylon bags, they could avoid the rain temporarily, but it would always splash in. The deck was wet everywhere, and it was impossible to lie down and sleep at all. They could only sit or stand, and it was inconvenient to do anything.

So much so that they insisted for one day. After finding that the rain didn't show signs of decreasing, they couldn't hold on the next afternoon and all went to live in the hostel.

As a result, they lived for another three days. Fortunately, they lived in the hostel; otherwise, they might have to sit and sleep on the boat for three or four days, maybe get sick.

After the weather cleared up, they couldn't care about fishing and hurriedly seized the time to solve the accommodation problem, so as not to have to go to the hostel again if it rained again.

Chen Jiannian also appeared when it was time to collect cargo, and then he knew the situation that happened in these few days, and as a result, he was scolded and scolded.

However, Ye Yaodong and the others didn't know. After clearing up, they seized the time to fish.

With this episode, they won two more days for themselves.

Fished hard for two days, and today they specifically postponed the delivery time. Moreover, the cargo of the people in their village was all collected by Ah Guang after clearing up these two days.

Chen Jiannian didn't receive cargo on the first day, and on the second day, it was greatly reduced to only two fishing boats he brought himself. Ye Yaodong felt that he couldn't sit still, and his face was smellier day by day.

Listening to Ah Guang, when dividing money on the first evening, he also yin and yang strangely said he was immoral.

Ah Guang was also unhappy in his heart, and directly said about the matter of him letting two fishing boats follow them, which made him speechless. On the second day, he was also honest and didn't speak.

However, he came out to earn money. Regardless of him or the two fishing boats he brought, he would be quiet for two days at most. Seeing the huge income gap, he would definitely not be able to sit still.

Even if Chen Jiannian no longer let those two boats follow them, in a few days, those people would definitely go to the pier to block them early in the morning.

Being able to fish for two more days, earning two thousand more than others, is barely okay. And the people in their village also ask him every day where he fished and why there is so much cargo.

Sooner or later, it can't be hidden. Now tell Chen Jiannian in advance, the initiative is in his own hands, and it can also directly offset the favor, and by the way, let the villagers remember his favor.

So, after selling the cargo in the evening, Ye Yaodong sent the boatmen back first. After Ah Guang reluctantly finished dividing the money with Chen Jiannian, he publicly clarified this matter with Chen Jiannian.
