It seems that what they just talked about is none of the old lady's business. Why is she angry?
Ye Yaodong was also very puzzled and felt that his father was quite innocent.
But after such an interruption, he was no longer depressed...
"Just tell me, besides coming over early for dinner, what else would you do? Something happened at home, would you help share the expenses? You don't know anything, you just wait for food with your mouth open all day."
Father Ye glared at her angrily, "Crazy! I work all day long, why am I waiting with my mouth open to eat? Did I eat yours? Or did I spend yours? It's inexplicable. What happened at home?"
In addition to Emi giving birth to twins, what else happened, for no reason, really, the older you get, the more grumpy you get..."
"You're going to suffer the consequences of the boss. You don't know anything yet. What's your use? Apart from showing off at home and taking away my crutches..."
"Okay, what kind of disadvantage has he suffered? What else can he suffer? His brain has more twists and turns than other people's mazes, how can he still suffer?"
Although he retorted like this, Father Ye still turned to look at Ye Yaodong in confusion.
"What did you suffer from? You suffered a loss, but she came to scold me. What's the point? You are really crazy and confused. Who made you suffer? Who is the one to scold? Why scold me? People just can't eat too much.
, I always look for trouble every day when I have nothing to do.”
Father Ye was scolded and beaten by an 80-year-old woman for no reason. He was angry and spoke in a very aggressive tone.
Ye Yaodong felt that his father was scolded probably because the old lady was angry. The old lady must have been worried and unhappy after hearing what he said before, but she could not vent it on her grandson, and nagging her could not calm her down.
It happened that his father came to eat at this time, and he hit the muzzle of the gun. Of course, he had to relieve himself from the depression in his chest.
People who are in a bad mood are unhappy when they see anyone carefree and leisurely, not to mention that they gave birth to their own child.
It was rare for him to have a good temper. He did not reply to his father with louder words. Instead, he calmly told his father what he had just encountered on the road.
Father Ye also frowned for a moment, "I didn't hear anything about it two days ago, but it showed up today? No one came to see me?"
"You are very good. People are looking for you?"
The old lady said something sinister, then stepped forward and took the crutch from his hand, made a mock gesture at him, then turned her head and muttered curses in a low voice.
Father Ye glared at the troublesome old lady and stopped arguing with him. It was more important to discuss it with Dongzi.
"Then what do you do with the 10 boats you ordered? Sell them directly?"
"Crazy, I finally ordered 10 pieces, and they were delivered immediately. I resold them as soon as I got them, so why did I order them? People are following suit. In order to prevent others from following suit, did I change hands and sell them? What kind of weird logic is this?
?”
Father Ye's mind suddenly got stuck. He felt that what he said was right. He had been thinking about stopping the loss in time just now.
"If you think wrong, old fools can also be infected. Then you will still use your Dongsheng to carry ten ships directly over there?"
"Definitely. Why should I punish myself for giving up halfway because others follow suit? I must continue as usual, and of course I have to earn back the money I spent. If they want to imitate me, they have to see how many ships can carry them?"
"The fishing boat can't even tow a few small wooden boats. There aren't many large boats in the surrounding villages. There are only two or three villages around us with docks. The other villages are a little further away."
Ye Yaodong just sat at the door and had already thought about it. As long as it didn't spread too far and didn't reach the town, it would be fine. The information circulation is not that fast now, so it should be fine for a short time, but if the time is longer, then it will be fine.
It’s hard to say.
"That's true. There are only a few boats in the village that can carry them. It's impossible to bring all the boats in the village. There is still some money to be made..."
The old lady still said angrily: "That's not enough money. It was obviously Dongzi who took the risk, and now it's all taken for granted."
"What's the matter with you? What's the matter? You're old enough, so you don't have to worry about it."
Father Ye had just finished his quarrel and was about to speak to Dongzi when the old lady hit him again with a cane.
"Why don't you let me talk anymore? I haven't even stood in your house yet, and you don't want to say anything. If I eat your rice, what's the point?"
"Nonsense..."
"You unfilial son, I'm not even deaf, I'm not old-sighted, and I'm not old-fashioned yet, so I won't let me say anything. What's the point of having you? I'll poop and piss you until you grow up."
…”
The old lady scolded her more and more vigorously, the cane banged loudly, and the room was crowded and cramped. Father Ye had no choice but to retreat in defeat, until he exited the gate and stood in the middle of the yard and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dongzi, come out and we'll talk."
Ye Yaodong cried tears of sympathy for his father, and obediently walked out to talk to his father in the yard.
"Someone has stopped you and said this before you came back. I guess after dinner tonight or tomorrow, someone will come to talk to you and ask you to take all their boats. Our boat is definitely impossible, yours
There are already 10 small boats, the Harvest from my parents’ side..."
"After dinner, help me call over all the people who went on the boat last year. I will also call over all the cousins ​​who rented the boat from our family. I will give them
Let’s talk about it and give it a try. The 20% is not easy to earn, and with so many boats this year, the 20% for small wooden boats is not much, so the gain outweighs the loss.”
"Okay, we need to hammer it out, otherwise everyone will automatically imagine that they received 20% of the goods they received last year, thinking that they can share 2,000 yuan, and they will buy anything when their brains are hot."
"Well, after talking about it, if they are still planning to pull the boat over, then we will ignore them, whether they are in the middle or at the destination. We will not care about anything if they want to rent a house and let them solve it by themselves."
Even his own brother, Ye Yaodong, did not intend to interfere. They had already discussed it with several other cousins, so they would be bundled together. There were about 10 people in total. If anything happened, they would solve it themselves.
He added: "We already have enough people in our own team, but we hired 20 people. It is troublesome enough to arrange for these people alone, and we don't have so much energy to take care of others. Originally, we asked them to keep up last year.
It was also out of friendship with fellow villagers that we didn’t receive any benefit from them at all.”
"Well, if something happens to the outside world, we can stick together and we can stick together. If they have something to do with themselves internally, then it's none of our business."
"Um."
"Your eldest brother and second brother are also true. I have to learn from you. If you don't find the brothers from your second uncle's family, it won't be spread all over the village."
The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. It is not easy for Ye's father to go and say anything to his eldest son and second son. He can only call everyone together like Dongzi did, talk about it, and let them wake up and not be taken advantage of.
It confused my mind.
"Having said it all, there's nothing more to say. They can see for themselves."
"The brothers from your second uncle's family are also brothers. They have already discussed it among themselves, so there is nothing to say. As for the rest, word has just spread in the village. I will tell everyone tonight. Just don't bring people in randomly."
Ye Yaodong responded casually and stopped talking. He walked to the door and continued to sit, lit a cigarette, continued to think, and waited for his meal.
Although I say this, it is really unavoidable. Those who are around the corner are all relatives. This one can't lose face, and that can't lose face.
Fortunately, Aguang took the initiative to talk to him about the share two days ago. After all, there are other kinds of subsidies. The more fishing boats go there, the more they will sell, and the more they can get from the share. If you think more optimistically, you can just reluctantly
Think of it as a two-pronged approach.
Today we had dinner half an hour earlier than usual, because Lin Xiuqing thought they would have something to do later, so she started eating early.
It was summer vacation, and all the children were running away. She stood at the door and shouted for a while, but no one came back, so she ignored them.
When they came back, the adults had all finished eating, and their skins were all taut. They were afraid that if they came back late, they would be beaten if they missed the meal, but no one at home took care of them.
Lin Xiuqing took advantage of Ye Yaodong and Ye's father to call for people separately. For a while, there was nothing exciting to see, so she went to the workshop to look at the dried fish and checked the dryness and turning condition.
By the time they reached their door, more and more people started to arrive, and the sky was getting darker.
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father waited at the door for a long time. Some people came early, and some people came late because they had just returned from a trip to sea. Those who came early talked there first.
Some people also asked Ye's father that everyone in the village was talking about taking a boat there, but Ye's father just said that he would talk about it once everyone was here, otherwise, he would have to talk about it many times.
Both Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were a little embarrassed, they just felt that they were the ones who caused it.
Moreover, they have thought about it recently and feel that it is not cost-effective. It is their responsibility to take it with them. However, they are all cousins ​​and have discussed it. It is not easy to go back on it. They have also been a little irritable recently.
Ye Yaodong moved stools for everyone. If there were not enough, he would move them to his eldest and second brother's house next door. The yard was full of people, and everyone was whispering there.
Even the neighbors around looked at their house as if it was a meeting, it was so lively and they all looked curiously at the entrance of the courtyard.
After the person arrived, he would talk about what he had encountered in the afternoon and his own views. By the way, he would also get vaccinated in advance.
"This year I will definitely not be as lucky as last year to earn so much. You should probably all know by heart, not only the wave of people here, but also the wave in the town. The people over there will only bring more people than us this year.
, no less than us.”
"After all, they earn agency fees, and we earn hard-earned fees. Of course, they hope to bring as many people as possible, but we here must be thinking about having fewer people. After all, with more people, we can make more money
Naturally, there will be fewer people to get it, and no one is a fool."
"So this year will definitely be full of difficulties. It will definitely not be as smooth as last year. Everyone must be mentally prepared. To be honest, if you can make half of last year's money this year, you should be very happy. If there are no accidents, you may have to return in advance.
I can’t say for sure.”
"After all, one more day outside is a day's expense, and labor costs are also high. That trench cannot withstand so many fishing boats. There are more monks than meat. Everyone should know how much there was last year."
"After the large-scale fishing is almost done, it will take a few days at most, and everyone will most likely have to paddle their own boats and slowly search for it on the sea, no different from the local fishermen. But after all, it is also the flood season, and after a busy day, it should be okay
It’s better than casting a net, but it’s definitely not as good as having a trench.”
"The most important point is that there is another very possible situation to talk about. Last year we also encountered suspicion from local fishermen, and they also inquired. If the team doubles this year, we will definitely not be so lucky. It is 80% likely that the fisherman will not be so lucky.
The trench also needs to be exposed..."
Ye Yaodong paused for a moment and looked at everyone's expressions, which were not very good.
Thinking about it, everyone knows that everyone is only focused on enjoying the wonderful harvest, and does not think about all these accidents. They only think about the good ones and don't think about the bad ones.
After everyone heard this, the discussion became more intense. At first, no one really thought much about it. Last year, all they had to do was follow and make money. There was no need to think about anything, just like picking up money.
Listening to what he said now, many ignored things were brought up, and everyone felt that it would really happen, and it was really not that easy to make money this year.
"I know everyone didn't think too much about it. After all, everything went smoothly last year and everyone made a lot of money. But what I said is also true. The best thing then is to coexist peacefully and let everyone fish together.
If there was a fight over competition, there would probably be..."
"If there is a fight, guns and sticks have no eyes, and they are all at sea. When the time comes, there will be a melee between dozens and hundreds of people. Think about it, there is a possibility that some people will not come back..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"It's not...really..."
"A Dong...are you exaggerating..."
"Yeah, it's hard to make money with so many people. It's impossible to make as much as last year. This sounds really possible, but if you don't come back alive... this is too serious..."
"Yeah...it's possible to come back alive..."
Ye Yaodong said loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling everyone in advance so that you can have an idea. During the squid flood season, we fight to the death every year to grab an island. There are a large number of them visible to the naked eye.
It would be strange if you don’t go crazy trying to grab the goods.”
"I'm making money on other people's territory. It would be better if I work with the locals to salvage honestly and don't conflict with others. But if a trench is discovered by the locals, wouldn't they want to fight for it?"
If we fight for it, won’t we fight?”
"At sea, it's a swarm of jellyfish. It's normal to have casualties. For example, guns and sticks have no eyes, jellyfish are poisonous, and it's a dangerous place like the sea."
"That's why I asked everyone to come over for a meeting in the evening, so that everyone can have an idea and not have the same mentality as last year, thinking that they are picking up money again."
"We have money to earn and life to spend, so we all need to think clearly. If someone temporarily shrinks, it doesn't matter. After all, we made a household of 10,000 yuan last year. It's okay to drag the net safely at home, at least it won't happen.
There is so much danger."
"There is another thing. As I said at the beginning, some people may have come to your house in the past two days and asked you to take their boats to fish together. I won't stop you. You can discuss it yourself and think about it. I won't do it either.
Rights interference.”
"Just think about whether it's worth it? If you charge 20% of the money to take the person there, then you have the responsibility to bring the person back safely. If there is any damage and the family comes to visit, you have to think
Come on, can you please settle it? After all, you did receive the money."
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of some people who had already agreed changed, including Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua.
After all, it is not alarmist to compete with the locals for this. Last year, everyone experienced that the locals wanted to follow their fishing boats, or they took out their guns to scare them. This year, there are more people going, and there is a high probability that they will be exposed.
So much luck?
When it comes to bringing people there, you will have to be responsible for helping with the settlement and so on. It is easy to say that you can help with some chores. After all, you are bringing them there yourself, but you have to take responsibility. You really need to think about each of them.
Who would dare to really do what Ye Yaodong said? He had always given it a try in the past.
"besides……"
When they heard that there was more, everyone's scalp went numb, fearing that there would be more serious situations that they had not imagined.
Ye Yaodong paused for a moment, looked at everyone's expressions that were not calm at the moment, and said again.
"I took the boat myself, because I didn't think about what might happen at first. Since it was already decided and the people were invited, I had to go on the boat, but the people I invited,
I will definitely take responsibility."
"So, my energy is limited. Last year I was able to bring everyone in and earn so much. It was very kind and righteous. This year everyone knows how to go and how to arrange it."
"Of course I will tell everyone when I want to set off. If you want to follow, just follow. If you don't plan to follow, it will be more comfortable to trawl at home."
"Once we get to the place, everyone will make their own arrangements. You can also decide how to fish. Anyway, Aguang will receive the goods at the dock as usual."
"After all, my Dongsheng is too big. It will definitely not be able to stay there forever. It will consume fuel and manpower. After the trench is emptied, we will definitely have to go out to sea to trawl as usual, and the small boat will stay there to continue salvage, so
My energy is really limited and I have a lot of ships at my disposal. I hope everyone can understand."
"So the general idea is that when you get to the place, you can make your own arrangements. You can set off together and come back together, or you can set off on your own and come back based on the situation. Anyway, it all depends on you."
This was what he wanted to say while sitting there in a daze, thinking about it.
It's better to tell him in advance, so that he won't have to complain when he can't make too much money, or if there are accidents, casualties, or other unexpected things happen, and everyone has to tell him, then he's not finished?
Although he was the one who brought it out last year, he didn't get any benefits from everyone. Instead, he harmed his own interests and made less money.
This year he was the first to make ugly remarks, and you can follow him, but he doesn't care about anything. He only cares about his own ship and his own people. His own people and ships are enough.
The powerful relationship has been clearly explained, so it's up to them. If they bring a bunch of boats to be a burden, then they themselves have to be mentally prepared.
"Ah Dong, is this trip really that dangerous?" Father Pei couldn't help but say.
"Uncle Pei is not inexperienced. Do you think what I just said is the truth or nonsense?"
"Oh, what you said makes sense. It's really not that easy to make money this year. It's all before our eyes. You can predict it just by thinking about it."
Father Ye also said: "Yes, Dongzi has thought of this, so he will tell everyone in advance to prevent everyone from being too optimistic, and then he will bring a bunch of boats over. By then, he will really not be making a lot of money.
But it’s a burden.”
"If we can make a lot of money safely, then we have to bring all the villagers with us. We are all from the same village. If we have money, people in our own village will make it first. How can we take advantage of outsiders?"
"Now that I think there is real danger, I have to warn everyone. Everyone must be mentally prepared. Think about it and get a charter first."
Ye Yaodong also added, "I just sat there and pondered for a long time, imagining what would happen. But it doesn't mean it will definitely happen. The uncles and brothers here are not stupid, and they can all imagine it.
, after all, most of them have been there last year, they understand the situation, and they have the ability to make judgments.”
The old and young people all frowned, not as relaxed as when they first came here to chat. They thought that A Dong called them here to tell them when to set off.
The yard immediately exploded like a vegetable market, and everyone was discussing it.
The neighbors who were standing at the entrance of the courtyard, as well as the women and family members of the village, also came over to watch the excitement and listened for a long time. They listened from beginning to end, and they were also discussing in a hurry.
Some simply say not to go. Anyway, they made a lot of money last year. If they die this year, there will be no place to cry. If they have money, they will spend their lives.
Some of them slapped their thighs and regretted, saying that they had already agreed with someone in the afternoon that they would return without the boat when they returned later. For the sake of three melons and two dates, they had to be responsible for other people's lives, which was not worth the loss.
Some have an optimistic attitude, and now they are just thinking about the worst and just talking. Who can say for sure what the situation will be like? Maybe they can still make a lot of money like last year.
Whatever you say...
The same goes for the men in the yard, but most of them have their own judgments and feel that what Ye Yaodong said is very likely to happen.
Even during the flood season in their local area, they could be beaten to death for grabbing land, not to mention the entire trench, which earned everyone a household of 10,000 yuan last year.
In the face of interests, if there is no proper discussion, they will definitely fight to death. What's more, they are also considered foreign invaders. If it weren't for the overwhelming number of people, the fishermen in the town couldn't respond in time last year, and it probably wouldn't have been so smooth.
Azheng and Xiaoxiao had already taken the lead to come to his side. The three of them gathered together and whispered to each other, so that the two elder brothers also sat over and could only listen to them on the side.
"Dongzi, what do you think is the chance that the situation you mentioned will happen this year?"
"Eighty percent!"
"Then... how many days can we keep fishing in that trench before we have to withdraw?"
"If you are very lucky, you can make money for half a month, and you can make everything. If you are lucky enough, you will probably have to share it with the locals in a week at most. If you are average, you will be discovered in three days at most, and then you can share it or fight it.
It’s possible that the person was beaten to the head and bleeding before sharing it, or it could be that he was beaten to the head and bleeding every day. It’s hard to say, it depends on the situation, and without experience, it’s just a guess.”
"Oh, it's hard to make money and hard to eat shit."
"Really?" Ye Yaodong turned his head and asked.
Ah Zheng shook his head, "Isn't it? It's too difficult to make money."
"I know it's hard to make money, but I really don't know that shit tastes bad, I just know it smells bad."
"Nah... I'm talking about business."
"Aren't we finished talking about the serious business?"
He has said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is for them to decide. Anyway, he doesn't care about anything. Then he will say hello to everyone when he sets off, and they can follow or not.
"What you just said makes me retreat. Anyway, I made a lot of money last year. It doesn't matter whether I make it this year or not. It will be enough for me to last until I am old."
"Think about it for yourself. Your father is your only son. It doesn't matter if he earns less."
What Ye Yaodong said was true. It was really difficult to control the situation this year. Anyway, they also made a lot of money last year.
I really didn't think too deeply about it at first. I just sat there and thought about it alone, and I really felt that the situation this year was indeed not good, but I can't just blindly follow it this year just because I got lucky last year.
He is not a saint either. He can think of everything very carefully. He can think of everything, but there may be some things he misses.
Ah Zheng crossed his legs and showed a rare sign of seriousness, "Oh, it doesn't matter if I don't make any money, but seeing you making money, how uncomfortable would it be if I didn't make any? How about you stop making money too?"
Xiaoxiao also nodded cooperatively, "Indeed, you already have so much money, so don't make any more. Seeing that you make so much money, and I don't follow you to have a drink of soup, I feel bad too."
Ye Yaodong also sighed, "I've prepared everything. Most people are still waiting, so why can't I say it all of a sudden? Anyway, I have a lot of guns on the ship, just in case. How can I make a lot of money?"
There’s no way to take risks.”
"We will prepare a few more guns by then."
"My sister came to my house in the afternoon and asked me to take her boat. I couldn't shirk it, so I just agreed. I would go to her house when I got back in the evening to talk. Anyway, my father was here too. What you said
He also heard everything and asked my father to come over when the time comes."
"It's too dangerous. It's better not to mess with those small boats in the village. They are not you, so only you can mess with them."
"I made too much money last year, so many people were jealous and thought they would follow me to collect money this year. When they heard the news, everyone wanted to have connections and wanted to follow me."
"Yeah... this is a wake-up call for everyone tonight."
"Fortunately, you gave everyone a heads up at night, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."
"I also have a headache, and I just thought of it..."
Ye Yaodong also felt that it was not a bad thing for those people to talk to him about this in the afternoon. At least they warned everyone in advance.
Chapter completed!
