"We have almost earned it now. If you want to earn more, you should go back first. Our people have been redeemed, and the locals will also be redeemed."
"And you bought a boat, and you still don't leave? What you bought was a local's boat. Their families were ruined, and they even lost their boat. After they found out that we bought it, they would definitely ask around. Which factory did you receive the goods from?
, people can also find out."
"During this period of salvage at sea, the locals know that we are not leaving. If we continue to stay here, the risks will outweigh the benefits."
Ye Yaodong gave a few words of persuasion, and everyone else nodded quickly.
"You're right. I didn't understand it. I can't bear to part with that little money. So we'll go back together when the rain stops and the waves subside."
Ye Yaodong said again: "I want to take the boat to a safe harbor first. Do you want to go?"
"Now? Why drive to Haven?"
"It rains continuously and there are strong winds. It feels like a typhoon is passing by. I don't know when it will stop, and I don't know if there will be more severe winds and rains. Let's stop in a shelter first, just in case."
Seeing that it was still raining heavily outside, they had no choice but to follow suit.
"Then let's park in the shelter together. It just so happens that the boats we bought yesterday have parked in the shelter. Today we will take the rest of the boats in and we will sail out together when the weather is clear."
"It's just a little troublesome, and you have to walk a long way back."
"Originally, it's windy and rainy weather. I have nothing to do. Let's go."
Some other people around who were originally discussing whether to go back heard that they wanted to take the boat to a shelter to avoid the typhoon, so they followed them.
Even though I had no idea at first, seeing so many people going there, they had a herd mentality. By the way, even if they didn't go to ransom people yesterday, they still had to make a trip.
So a bunch of people came and went in the wind and rain, and most of the day passed like this.
When he came back in the afternoon, the room was full of people again, and it had not decreased at all. Ye Yaodong saw that they had not left all day long.
It was not easy for him to chase people away, so he just let them stay in the main room. After he came back, he simply took a shower, wore shorts, cooked something to eat, and then found a room to lie down. He was tired after running around for a long time.
broken.
And those who went to the safe haven and came back and went to the police station to redeem their people have not yet come back.
When he woke up after sleeping all afternoon, it was already dark and gloomy. There was still the sound of rain and the whistling wind outside, as well as the noise in the hall. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 5 o'clock.
.
He walked out of the house and saw, my dear, there were more people than during the day. Those who went to redeem people in the afternoon were all there, even the people who had just been redeemed. Do you really think this is his base camp? He went there as soon as he came back.
Is he rushing here?
"What? Are you all here? Don't you want to eat?"
"Haha, I just came back and I thought since everyone is here, I'll come over and have a chat first."
"What are we talking about?"
"Isn't it true that some people were caught, and then they were not workers, so there was no ship boss who took the initiative to redeem them? When we went there, all the money we had was calculated, and there was no way to redeem the people who were still inside...
"
Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Who else has not been redeemed?"
As soon as he finished asking, he had an idea. He seemed to have seen Ye Yaoguo's name on the list yesterday. He glanced around the room and found that he did not see it.
At this time everyone also spoke.
"A Guo, his two cousins, and his wife's two brothers-in-law."
"When we left, we calculated the money and redeemed all the people. Unexpectedly, they were still inside and no one redeemed them. Others who were related to each other had already calculated their heads and helped redeem them first."
"Later, we redeemed all the people. While we were still going through the formalities in the lobby, we heard from the police that there were still a few people inside and asked us to take them away together. There was also a commotion inside asking everyone to help with the redemption."
Ye Yaosheng was a little embarrassed when he told everyone. Everyone else looked in his direction. After all, he was his brother.
He said with an embarrassed look: "I have remitted all my money back, but I still have the money from the last two days of sales, which happened to be used to redeem someone yesterday. I originally saw you buying a boat yesterday, and I wanted to buy it too.
I asked Dongzi or Aguang to borrow some money, but they never succeeded in buying it, so I didn't ask to borrow money."
"A Guo shouted inside, asking you to redeem it for him first. If you don't have the money, I'll ask you to borrow it from A Peng and A Hua."
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua again, their faces darkened and their brows furrowed.
Ye Yaohua hurriedly said: "I just bought a boat yesterday and redeemed it, and I have no money left."
"What kind of boat did you buy? Why did Ah Sheng say he was buying a boat and you also said he was buying a boat? What kind of boat did you buy? Where did you buy it yesterday? What do you mean?"
"Yeah, why can't I understand, why buy a boat? Where did you buy it?"
"Can you still buy a boat yesterday in this weather?"
Someone interrupted and said: "They bought fishing boats that were confiscated by the Public Security Bureau. I heard that they bought several of them. The newer ones cost 1800 and the older ones cost 1500. They got a big deal."
"You guys walked too fast this morning..."
"Ah? Because of the gunfight, the two parties were detained, and the boat was also seized and confiscated? So now it can be sold?"
"Oh, let me go. I left too fast last night and didn't stay much longer. When I came here this morning, I just discussed whether to go back or not. Then when I heard you said that you wanted to sail the boat to a safe harbor, we went with you again. Damn it.
…”
"Then aren't we missing out? We can actually buy a boat so cheaply..."
"Don't think it's so beautiful. We can't buy everything. We have to leave some for the locals to buy. Also, the people in our town are almost wiped out, except for a dozen
You're following us, how dare you buy the boat in our town? It would be weird if you don't get harassed by others when you go back..."
Ye Yaodong is not allowed to speak, everyone is talking nonsense.
Yesterday, so many people bought boats. Not long after they came back, everyone at home basically knew about it. Those who didn't know basically knew about it during the whole day here.
Everyone's topic has changed. No one cares about whether the people in Aguo have been redeemed. Anyway, their brother Ye Yaosheng is here. Everyone only cares about whether they can also buy a boat. They all regret that they didn't go with them to redeem the people yesterday.
Ye Yaodong looked at everyone discussing there, and randomly asked two people, "Have you cooked yet? It's getting dark. I've been sitting here chatting all day."
"The rice is ready, and there are people cooking there, but we are running out of rice, so we mixed in a little more beans today."
"good."
Since the rain, they have not eaten seafood, only vegetables and dried fish. In the past two days, they have harvested all the vegetables growing in the yard. After the rice is eaten, if the rain has not stopped,
I probably can only eat pumpkins and potatoes to satisfy my hunger. Fortunately, there is no need to work even if it rains.
Everyone was having a heated discussion there, and they were all thinking about buying the boat at a cheap price, and then taking advantage of these few days to make more money here. Having an extra boat can also make more money, and then sell it immediately after returning.
Make another profit from the middle...
Ye Yaodong didn't care about their dreams. They could discuss whatever they wanted. Anyway, he had taken advantage of them.
He was holding his chin, wondering when the rain would stop, and he would quickly sail the boat over and take the supplies that needed to be moved to the Public Security Bureau.
He boldly asked about this when he returned yesterday afternoon. No one else heard it, so he simply didn't mention it. Anyway, anyone who sailed with him to the town would benefit.
"Ah Dong, do you really plan to go back when the rain stops?"
"Yes, if you want to continue fishing here, go to the Ocean Bureau to apply for a fishing report as soon as the rain stops."
"Well, if you leave, we won't know anything, our eyes will be dark, and we won't know where to open the door to the Oceanographic Bureau."
"Yes, why don't you stay a few more days? With you here, if something happens, everyone will not be unsure. This time it all depends on you, otherwise everyone will definitely be panicking and not knowing what to do.
That’s right, I’m probably still squatting inside right now.”
He said calmly: "No, there are too many people here, so I have to send them back first. It doesn't matter if you don't know where the Ocean Bureau is, as long as you have a mouth."
"Then if you go back, will you come back?"
"Can't you also go into the water to catch sea urchins? You can stay until the flood season is over..."
"I said, there are too many people here, and some of them are in a hurry to go back." Ye Yaodong frowned, "Is the food ready? Let's start dinner. It's getting dark, and the rain outside has lightened up, but
The wind seems to be getting stronger, so you should go back early, it's not good to stay outside in this windy day."
Everyone saw that he was about to start dinner, and the sensible people went back first.
Ye Yaosheng stood in the corner, hesitating all the time, watching everyone running into the rain, almost out of sight, before he made up his mind and walked to Ye Yaodong and said: "Dongzi, can you lend me 1,000 yuan to redeem someone?"
I really don’t have enough money on hand.”
"Send all the money you get from selling jellyfish back?"
"Yes, I sent them all back, otherwise I wouldn't have to borrow them from you now."
"I can lend it to you. Anyway, I'll just deduct it directly from the dividends when I go back to settle the accounts. But have you ever thought about it, if you just redeem them like this, what if they don't recognize them, or just refuse to pay them?"
Your money, isn’t your work this trip in vain? Your wife is going to give birth in two to three months, right?”
Ye Yaosheng's face was full of tangles and looked like a bitter melon, "There's nothing we can do about it. My brother can't redeem it, and they have no money. They were caught right after they came here, and they didn't earn any money."
"Their brother-in-law also needs my help in redeeming it. It's not okay if he doesn't redeem it. My brother and the others have to take care of their brother-in-law when they come out. Oh, what are you doing with them? If you insist on coming out, you won't make any money and you still owe money.
A bunch of money."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. This was a typical example of someone who got into trouble for nothing. He was supposed to be spoiling his eldest and second brother. Ye Yaosheng was unlucky.
"So I want you to be careful and ask someone who can write to write an IOU for you in advance. When you come out with the money to redeem the person, have them sign the IOU. In the Public Security Bureau, they don't dare to refuse to pay the amount.
They, they must have all obediently pressed their fingerprints and gone back. If you don’t come with the money, let your wife ask for it.”
Ye Yaosheng nodded gratefully, "Okay, I'll have people write a few IOUs for me later, and then I'll ask them to put their thumbprints one by one."
Father Ye said: "Dongzi has paper and pen there. Just ask him to write a few pieces for you now. When you take them over to redeem people tomorrow, you can let them have their fingerprints printed."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Just because he can read, it doesn't mean he can write every word completely, and he doesn't lack arms or legs.
"Go to A Guang. He must have account books and pens and paper there. I've been attending literacy classes for a few months. I can almost recognize the words, but when it comes to writing, haha..."
"Then my IOU..."
"Forget about your IOU, I still trust you. Anyway, it can be deducted directly from the profit share of the fishing boat."
"That's okay too."
"I'll get you money."
He didn't have much money left. He bought a boat and ransomed people, so he didn't have much money left. Even the salary money had to be shared with Aguang in two days.
I didn't expect to buy so many boats at first. I originally wanted to save the more than 10,000 yuan to pay my salary when I returned home.
Today is the 30th, and tomorrow will be the 31st. We have to wait for the rain to stop and the weather to calm down. It’s already the beginning of the month, so it’s almost a full month.
A person earns 4.5 yuan a day, which is 140 for a 31-day month. The 29 people he has are from the same village, which means a salary of 4,060 yuan.
Those 15 city dwellers picked up on the way started in the middle of the month, so calculated as half a month, they only cost a little over 1,000.
This trip was both a shootout and a jail sentence, and I was very frightened. In the past two years, the red envelope was worth 20 yuan. This year, 20 yuan was not enough, so I had to give it 50 yuan.
Damn it, it's all money.
Also, during the three days when we were in the water and fishing for sea urchins, the 10 people on the boat received an additional two yuan subsidy every day, which was another 60 yuan.
His father also has to give him a little more, as the wages are too much.
Now that we have agreed to go back, it would be a good time to settle the matter in the past two days and redeem everyone. When the weather clears and we go back, we can settle the accounts with A Guang.
So far this month, he has earned about 54,000 yuan. He sold more than 700 yuan in the morning when it rained. The jellyfish blood dried the day before and half a day ago are still half dry in the past few days.
It's hanging there.
He also hoped that it would be fine as soon as possible to sell the last batch of jellyfish blood and sell it for another thousand pieces.
All in all, after deducting labor expenses and fuel expenses for this month's fishing, we can earn more than 40,000 yuan. The agency fees and profit sharing are not included.
After the meal, he took out the account book in the lockbox and calculated it, and he had a good idea of ​​how much money he would have to pay out after the rain stopped.
On the 6th day of rain, the rain finally became lighter, and the sky became brighter in the early morning, as if the haze of the past few days had turned into rain.
In the early morning, a large group of people all ran towards him. They had just eaten the second wave of pumpkin porridge. There were so many people that they had to take several turns to eat.
"It seems that the typhoon has left and gone to other places, and the rain has become lighter."
"It has finally cleared up after so many days. If it doesn't clear up again, my clothes will become moldy, but my body will become moldy."
"I don't know what the tide outside the pier is like..."
"We have seen it. The water level has risen very high and the waves are quite big. Several small boats have been taken away. There are also many fishermen running out to have a look."
Ye Yaodong asked again, "You have decided not to go back yet, right?"
The newcomers looked at each other.
Someone said hesitantly: "We still want to stay here for a few more days and make more money, otherwise we will be too embarrassed to go back."
"Okay, then you can see for yourselves. The rain seems to be stopping soon. We will go back after the rain stops and the waves subside."
Everyone no longer advised him to stay. Everyone knew that Ye Yaodong made the most money on this trip. After all, he had so many boats and everyone could see the amount he caught every day.
Although I don’t know how much it sells for, it is definitely several times the price of their fishing boats.
The rain stopped very quickly. In the morning, the rain was only a little lighter. By the evening, the rain had stopped completely. The sky was filled with rays of light, dyeing the entire sky red. The afterglow of the setting sun made the sky look brighter than during the day.
The sky will still be bright.
The second day after the rain stopped, Aguang also ran to the door with his account book.
Ye Yaodong originally thought that he would settle the accounts the night before he went back and pay his wages at the same time, but he didn't expect that he would act quickly.
"I thought that I would go back this time anyway, and I won't be here to receive the goods. They can sell the goods to whomever they want. Our agency has almost made enough money, so I just want to do some calculations before going back."
"I thought about it together. I thought about it too, but I just wanted to wait until I was ready to go back and then settle the accounts and pay the wages."
He originally thought that if the rain stopped today, he would go to the Public Security Bureau to move supplies and hire a tractor to pull them back directly. Otherwise, the town's wharf would really be unable to dock anymore. Now that the rain has stopped, it is estimated that the town will have to start redeeming people.
"Well, I happen to be free now, so let's do it now."
It’s too late, so I’ll send it out first. That’s it for today’s update. I’ll try my best to fix it tomorrow night.
Chapter completed!
