The crowd only gathered at the door for a while, and no one from the family came out for a long time. Everyone cursed and said a lot of sour words before gradually leaving.
Because of this, everyone in the village was talking about the ambergris their family picked up. It was also rumored how big and heavy the ambergris they picked up was, and how much it could be sold for.
He also said that when his family got rich, they turned against each other, looked down upon others, and so on, and spread a lot of unpleasant words.
This is how it is in rural areas. If something happens, within a few minutes, it will be spread throughout the whole village. And sometimes it is obviously specious, but if it is not confirmed, it can be spread with certainty, with noses and eyes.
By the time he walked back home with his hands in his pockets, listening to all kinds of sour gossip, the villagers had already made arrangements for the Xu family to buy a three-turn ring and a TV set, as well as a household worth ten thousand yuan.
A useless thing, thrown there carelessly, could actually cause such a farce, which made him smile crookedly.
As soon as he stepped into the house, his mother pulled him to ask questions.
"Dongzi, did someone in our village really pick up ambergris?"
His mother didn’t even leave the house, but she actually found out?
"Isn't that true? I don't know what kind of bad luck I had, but I was able to pick up those rare things. It's really a pie in the sky and I made a fortune." He happily told her mother,
I just saw the excitement in front of Xu’s house.
"Oh, that's a real treasure. I heard it's Pupixu's family, right?"
"Yes, I found a treasure for their family!"
Mother Ye patted her thigh regretfully, "Oh, God, why don't you open your eyes? I actually picked it up for their family. It's really an advantage for them."
"My life is good!"
"That family of scoundrels has made a fortune, and they are worried about it. I heard that they will exchange it for money tomorrow and move to the city."
Ye Yaodong: "?"
Why is it different from the version he heard?
The villagers can really make arrangements!
"I didn't know it until I walked around. How could you know it at home?"
"Aunt Lan next door ran excitedly to talk to their two daughters-in-law. I happened to hear it at the door. The sea is right in front of our house. How did he pick it up? It's really... really..."
"What a shame...I told you, you're welcome!"
Ye Yaodong said something jokingly and then went back to his room. Mother Ye rolled her eyes at him angrily.
The old lady also laughed.
As soon as the door was pushed in, Ah Qing unexpectedly asked him in a low voice, "Did it be stolen by that young boy from the village, Xu Laifu?"
Ye Yaodong smiled brightly, "That kid is used to sneaking around. I didn't expect that he would sneak into our house. When will I be free to show him a good look?"
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "I heard my mother talking excitedly to Aunt Lan next door in the house. The words spread too quickly."
"Isn't that right? When I passed by, I heard that they had picked up ambergris. When I walked back, I already heard them saying that they could buy a three-turn and one-ring TV. Later, it was as if they had already made money.
I bought it for tens of thousands."
"Aunt Lan said that they are going to move to the city where they can enjoy the hot food and drink, instead of living in this hellish place in the countryside like us."
"Laughing to death."
Lin Xiuqing suddenly thought of something, and the smile on her face dropped, "Will this sudden commotion have any impact on us?"
"What impact can it have? We picked it up and thought it was useless, so we just threw it aside. He thought it was a treasure and stole it back. What does it have to do with us? We didn't ask him to steal it? He stole our things and I haven't even come to the door yet.
Go scold him, do they dare to cause trouble?"
Lin Xiuqing felt relieved after hearing this, "That's right. If he steals our things and dares to come to our door to make trouble, we'll beat him out."
"Um."
At this time, Ye Mu's shouts suddenly sounded outside the house.
"Oh, who the hell stole half of my longan? Damn it, he put it in the cupboard and stole it. What bastard did it? If I catch him, I have to skin him...
…”
Ye Yaodong heard his mother cursing outside, opened the door and went out to take a look.
"What happened again?"
Mother Ye cursed a few words and then said: "I don't know which bastard stole two handfuls of longan. The quantity is obviously less. I didn't pick it up to take a look at it during the previous inspection. I just planned to peel the meat and wait for it in the evening."
I stewed eggs for Ah Qing, but when I took them out, I realized that the portion was wrong. Ying Mu is tender..."
"I didn't check clearly just now. Check again to see if there is anything missing."
Fortunately, all his valuables were locked up in the house.
It's just not popular to deposit money in the bank now, otherwise he would really want to save the money.
There is no postal savings at the moment, and the post office is not called a post office, but a post office. The post office and telecommunications have not yet been separated.
Every household keeps their money at home. Where can I safely take the money outside to save it? Of course, I can only rest assured if my own money is kept under my nose.
He is also worried about the current mechanism. What if he keeps saving for decades, banks are updated and he defaults on his debt? This is not impossible.
Mother Ye kept mumbling and started to rummage through the boxes and cabinets again.
"There seemed to be fewer bird eggs in the bucket placed in the corner. When I brought them to cook snacks for Ah Qing in the afternoon, it seemed that there were quite a lot of them. This time, there seemed to be a few at the bottom. I don't know if one person stole them or not.
Several people stole it, and their hands and feet were so unclean..."
"With so many people coming to the door, if the petty theft goes smoothly, who knows who has taken it? So I ask you to go out less often and keep things at home hidden."
"I didn't go out to say anything? I was afraid of disturbing my daughter's sleep, so I listened at the door and attracted people to her." Mother Ye was also very angry and angry. "We won't let those people come to the door tomorrow. I'm so angry."
Even if it kills me, even a little bit of stuff must go along with it."
"I'll give you a long memory and stop letting so many people come to our house."
Fortunately, none of the things stolen were valuable. Nowadays, people have little education and little cultural quality. There are too many petty thefts. If something is lost, you don’t know who took it.
"Okay, okay, you go to sleep."
"Well, the small bucket of seabird eggs I brought back today contains two pheasant feathers, which are quite beautiful. I used them to make shuttlecocks for my nieces."
"I know how to play every day. During this period, the rooster feathers that were plucked were collected by the three of them. They play there every day. Now there is a large group of them, I don't know where they went..."
Ye Yaodong went back to the house amidst his mother's nagging. He wanted to go to bed early. He would probably be busy for a few more days.
The next day he was still the same as the previous day, but this time he brought a slingshot with him and let the pheasant right in front of him go. He was always unwilling to do so.
It's just that when he was prepared, he didn't see any of them. What a shame.
I want to hunt chickens, but there are no chickens; I want to hunt birds, but I can’t hunt them! My hands are raw and my skills are not up to par.
Last night, I specifically asked my son to borrow a slingshot, but he came back empty-handed and was laughed at by a few kids.
Depressed, he picked a large basket of wild strawberries, hoping to bribe some children.
When the sun rose and he returned to the beach, he was scorned by his father again. The "I knew it" look on his face was a bit shocking.
Ye Yaodong pretended not to see anything and directly called his father to get on the boat to collect the cage.
Today's fishing has been smooth at sea. I am a little tired, but the harvest is also very impressive, and everyone is in a good mood.
What surprised them was that when they went back in the evening, the village was bustling again, and everyone was watching the excitement again.
