Father Ye nodded and didn't say anything more. After going out, there was a discussion at the door. He didn't leave either. He stood at the door chatting with everyone.

The old lady moved a stool and sat next to Ye Yaodong, her face full of concern, and the prayer beads in her hand kept rolling there.

"Dongzi, can we not go? After hearing what you just said, I feel very anxious and want to go in and pay my respects."

"Then you go."

"I...amn't I worried? I want to talk to you. Can you not go?"

"Don't worry too much. These are all hypothetical situations. Just adapt to circumstances when the time comes. Something may not happen. Look, I have it on hand... Don't think too much."

He stretched out his hand and gestured for a pistol.

Others may not know, but he definitely went there to make money. He must have earned more than anyone else. There were patches of sea urchins waiting for him under the trench.

"Alas..." The old lady sighed and began to recite Amitabha again.

Lin Xiuqing didn't say much. Anyway, Tiantian said that she listened to her and the whole family was under her control. In fact, she actually listened to him and the whole family was under her care.

When Ye Yaodong was talking before, he had already finished talking about everything in his mind. Now he was sitting at the door enjoying the cool air with his head empty, and soon became a little drowsy.

I spent the whole night on the tractor feeding mosquitoes last night. After I got home, I only squinted for two or three hours. I woke up after lunch. Now that I relaxed, I immediately fell asleep.

But half asleep and half awake, he still thought that he would have to check on the progress of the boat tomorrow and urge him to prepare all important things in advance.

I still have to go to the shipyard to see when the 7 ordered boats 002 will be delivered. I said before that this boat will be delivered this month. I’ll give it a try. If I can make it in time, I’ll take it directly to me.

As for the past two days, there is a high probability that he will not go to sea for the time being. His sister is coming back soon with her two new children. He still has to go to the city to visit Director Chen, and he still has to wait for news about A Guang.

, when to set off, and the preparations before departure must be done well.

It can't be like last year's Harvest. Everyone has set off. The ship is still at sea and hasn't come back yet. He is the leader. If he hadn't moved, everyone would probably be waiting there.

If you delay the departure time, you will be blinded when you get there.

Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong got on his motorcycle and hurried out.

What he didn't expect was that in the middle of the morning when he was away, his eldest and second brothers went to his cousins ​​at his second uncle's house and wanted to talk about not taking them on the boat, which resulted in a commotion.

When he came home in time for lunch, the surrounding doors were deserted. Only Wang Guangliang was sitting at his door eating melon seeds. No one else was seen, not even the child.

It's summer vacation now. In the past, there were children running and jumping at the door under the scorching sun.

It's hard to say at other times. When it comes to meals, everyone doesn't dare to run too far, lest they can't be heard during mealtime and get severely beaten when they get home.

Ye Yaodong was a little curious. He looked into the house from the door of his eldest and second brother's house, and saw no one. The door was still open.

"Brother Dong, you are finally back..." Wang Guangliang had been sitting idle at the gate. After seeing the motorcycle, he ran out immediately.

"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

"We all went to your second uncle's house. There seemed to be a quarrel before. Someone came to report the news, and the whole family went there. My sister-in-law asked me to help take a look first. She went and came back, but we were gone for almost an hour."

"Are you arguing? How long have you been arguing?"

"I don't know how long the quarrel lasted, but I watched it here for an hour."

Ye Yaodong frowned.

The boys who had been chasing the exhaust all caught up behind him, circling him around, touching his motorcycle with their hands up and down. He could only dismiss the half-grown boys around him and park the car in the yard.

Then I went inside and had a sip of tea. I took a look at the locked door and felt a little relieved.

He opened the lid of the pot and found that there was nothing in the pot, so he had to get on his bicycle and go out to find out the situation.

"You watch here first, I'll be back in a moment."

"Oh, okay."

It was none of his own business, so Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. He mainly went to take a look and call Ah Qing back to cook. He was so hungry that the bowl of porridge he had in the morning was gone after two dips of urine.

At this time, the roads were all deserted. People were either cooking or eating. There were not many children running and jumping on the road.

When he was approaching his second uncle's house on his bicycle, it seemed that the party was about to end?

A bunch of people in front were all walking out, filing out. It was such a big group that the road was blocked for several meters. He was surprised. This scene was not small, wasn't it?

The leader was his father, his eldest brother, his second brother and his sister-in-law. Lin Xiuqing led Ye Xiaoxi and followed the old lady to the edge.

The whole family is here, everything is ready.

"What's wrong? I wasn't here in the middle of the morning, and the whole family came over to start a fight?"

Father Ye didn't know whether he was angry or in a bad mood, so he just glanced at him without saying a word.

His eldest brother and second brother didn't speak either, only his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were there chirping and cursing.

"When I asked for help, I said all the good things to others. Now that I don't want to take them with me, I have turned my back on them."

"Isn't that true? They also said that they bought the boat from others at a high price just to make a fortune with them. Now that they don't take them with them, they are just cursing and saying that they have lost money and have to let us compensate them."

"Who asked them to buy it? We didn't ask them to buy it? It was because they were greedy. Two or three boats for a few people were not enough, so they went to others and bought two old boats for the price of new boats."

"Their wives also include all the boats belonging to their natal brothers, and they will ask us to pull them over when the time comes..."

"I'm sick. It's hard to explain now. It's all on us. We didn't promise..."

"That's right, I would have ignored them if I had known. At that time, I just wanted to help them, who were not outsiders, and let them make some money. It's so shameless now, and this is going to be blackmailed... Bah..."

"It's a good idea. If you don't take them and their relatives with you, you'll ask us to compensate them. We've told them they're in danger. Where can we go to compensate them if they don't come back?"

The two sisters-in-law stood there and complained to Ye Yaodong about the faces of those people, because the neighbors who were walking around also stopped and started talking together.

Father Ye's face turned dark, and he turned his head to glare at them, "Is there something you can't say back home? It's not shameful to be outside, so go back quickly."

"Who are we embarrassing? It's them who should be embarrassed. I came here to talk to them. It's for their own good. Don't take risks."

"That is, everyone is saying that it is difficult to make money this year, and they are also worried that their trip will be in vain and they may be in danger."

Ye Yaopeng also shouted, "We'll talk about it when we get home."

Only then did the two sisters-in-law follow up, chattering and cursing.

Ye Yaodong generally understood. He frowned and pushed his bicycle towards Ah Qing.

Lin Xiuqing quickly carried Ye Xiaoxi, the chubby little boy, onto the back seat, "Take her back first, and I'll tell you what happened when I get back."

"No, just let her sit on top, and I'll push her along with you. Where are the two sons?"

"The one who was there just now is gone now. He probably ran towards the path home."

The villagers watched the good show all morning again and didn't even bother to cook. Those who had cold pots and stoves at home hurried back to cook.

There were several of them, including old people and children. They walked slowly and fell directly to the back.

"The eldest brother and the second brother came over this morning and wanted to cancel the previous agreement, right? But they refused?"

"Yes, they agreed that they are all ready and waiting to set off. If they don't accept what the eldest and second brothers say, they will let the eldest and second brothers take them with them."

"The eldest brother and the second brother explained to them, almost what you told them last night, but they are determined to make a fortune with them. They think that since they are both dangerous and can't make much, then why do you still go there?

?”

"Since you all still want to earn this money, it means it is definitely not as dangerous as you say. It must be all just talk. I am afraid that there will be too many people and you will make less money, so I say this to everyone."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

There is actually nothing wrong with saying that.

If you still want to go there even though it is dangerous, it means that receiving the goods is too tempting and worth a try.

Lin Xiuqing continued: "Then my cousins ​​originally only had two boats. Later, they told the eldest brother and the second brother to add another one. The eldest brother and the second brother also thought that they could make more money with the extra boat, so they didn't have any objections. Anyway, their boats,

One boat can carry two or three."

"Unexpectedly, they seemed to be too greedy later and went to buy two more from others. They said they paid a high price and bought the old boat for the price of the new boat..."

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "A guaranteed profit? Are you so optimistic that you can make a fortune? You are quite ambitious."

"Don't interrupt yet."

"Okay, okay, you continue."

"They not only bought two boats at a high price, but they originally cursed and swore not to tell anyone, but their wives ran back to their parents' home to tell them, and then they wanted to take all the boats owned by their relatives."

"Also, they didn't tell the eldest brother and the second brother about the other boats they bought and the boats that my wife's family wanted to take with her. Because they thought that for the eldest brother and the second brother, the more the better, the more boats they would go with.

The more they smoked, the more they smoked, so they didn’t talk about it specifically.”

"When several families were clapping the table just now, the eldest brother and the second brother were stunned to know that they had to bear the burden of several families. Even the cousins-in-law's natal families all came just now."

"It wasn't just their relatives from their mother's family, there were also relatives from around the corner who came to most of the village and made a fuss all morning."

Ye Yaodong bared his teeth and was startled. The relatives who were turning the corner really covered half the village. No wonder when he came over and saw them leaving, the road was blocked for several meters.

"It's also because the eldest and second brothers made an agreement with them long ago, so no one came to us yesterday. Only the people we met on the roadside stopped you and asked you a few questions..."

"Because they basically got the information from there, and then they all agreed, so they were all tied to the same boat, so they didn't come to us to ask us to take them."

"Then the cousins' parents found out that the eldest brother and the second brother had now repented, and they had to hold the cousins ​​responsible. The pressure was put on the cousins, and the cousins ​​had no choice but to put the pressure on the eldest brother and the second brother. Now they are forcing the eldest brother and the second brother

We must fulfill our promise and take them with us. No matter whether it is dangerous or not, they will go."

"If you are determined to earn this money, of course you can definitely earn it."
