"It's none of your business if someone returns home in fine clothes, and I won't treat you to a drink. Why are you laughing?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to invite me to drink, just invite me to watch the fun."
"What's so exciting? They're planning to invite a troupe to sing a big opera? Are they so rich?"
"Probably singing the big show by myself."
Lin Xiuqing could not understand what he said more and more.
Ye Yaodong saw her puzzled face and was about to explain it to him, but he didn't expect that the two sisters-in-law across a wall started gossiping each other.
"It's their family's big show, right? I've wanted to see it for a long time, just waiting for that mouse to come back and see his wife is still at home. How will he react?"
"Yes, yes, there must be some trouble again."
…
Lin Xiuqing also understood after listening to the words of her two sisters-in-law.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, is the rice ready?"
"Not yet. You pick the vegetables for me. I'll braise the meat first."
Ye Yaodong took over the work in her hands.
The two sisters-in-law next door also asked him what they saw when they came back and what everyone said? How much money did they make? How much money did they make?
He told what he had seen and what the villagers had just discussed, igniting a blazing fire of gossip between them.
Without waiting for the meal to begin, his mother came over and immediately brought the latest first-hand news.
"As soon as he entered the house, his face changed even before he put down his luggage. He immediately pulled his wife out of the house and threw her to the door, preventing anyone from entering the house again."
"Then his wife was sitting at the door, crying with runny nose and tears. When I went there, it was too late, so I still listened to the neighbors talking about it."
"There are a lot of people standing on the three floors inside and three outside. In addition to watching the excitement, there are also people who are helping to make peace."
"The couple has lived together for so many years. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Of course, the couple is still as good as the original couple."
"Although his wife's family later tried to find a new one for her, they didn't succeed and returned home to take care of the children."
Lin Xiuqing also nodded in agreement, "Yes, after such a long time, anything can be overcome. For the sake of these two children, there is nothing we can't make do with."
"No one is getting divorced nowadays. They just make do with it. Now that they have money, life can be easier."
Mother Ye agreed, "Yes, let me tell you, even if I go out for a trip, my heart will be wild. When I see the colorful world outside, I will hate my own home. Plus, after making money, my heart will burst out."
"
Lin Xiuqing glanced at Ye Yaodong.
"Look what I'm doing!"
"No, I just thought about what you said before. They all made a lot of money, and I don't know how much they won? Outside? Have you searched again?"
Thinking that she was connoting him, Lin Xiuqing quickly explained.
Ye's father talked, "It's normal to find someone again. The two families were in such trouble at that time. Later, as soon as he recovered from his injury, he divorced immediately and went out to make money. It's normal to find someone outside again."
"Look around and see if there are any good ones out there. I don't know. People follow you because you have money. If you don't have money, it depends on who wants to follow you. It's not like your wife at home. Even if you don't have money, you will still be with her..."
"Yes, that's right, my mother is right. How can you look for someone outside? You can't look for someone outside for divorce. Women outside only care about money." Ye Yaodong quickly expressed his loyalty.
Father Ye shut up quickly. If he said anything more, he would be criticized later. He had experience in this matter.
The old lady asked curiously: "What then? You are back, there should be results, right?"
"Everyone helped to make peace. The Wang family was also there to promise that they would live a good life in the future and not make trouble. The children in the family also stood with their mother and wanted their own mother."
"Later, everyone was talking and pushing, pushing the couple into the house. His wife also hurriedly went to cook. This matter should probably be revealed for the time being, right?"
Lin Xiuqing said: "I guess there will be another commotion. Haven't they all made a lot of money? How can the Wang family let go of the money tree? Now that they are coaxing the couple so nicely, they have to work hard to find something."
Ye Yaodong gave his wife a thumbs up, which was quite understandable.
"It's none of our business to care about others. Everyone is saying that they have made a lot of money and have become bosses, and they are still stingy. The villagers say that they will join them and work for them, but they dare not say a word.
Eighty percent of it is fake, and they are here to deceive people again." Ye Mu was a little disdainful.
Mother Ye didn't guess this right. She just wanted to return home in fine clothes.
I felt a little dejected when I left. My life in the village was unsatisfactory, and now I have made money outside. Of course, I want to come back in a good mood, to gain some face for myself, and to regain my face.
Lin Xiuqing guessed correctly.
The couple had an argument at the end of the bed, but they didn't hear anything about the fuss the next day.
When I asked the people in the village, everyone said that the couple had two children, so there was no obstacle that they could not overcome. Everyone helped to make peace, and life went on naturally.
However, after only two days of peaceful life, I heard that the Wang family licked their faces and asked Mouse to invest in setting up a small factory in the village. They helped him look after it and told him to go out and make a living.
Later, when they didn't come to an agreement, the Wang family also said that they should follow him out to make money and be his helpers. Under the guise of keeping the money from others, their own family will earn first if they have money.
However, this time, Mouzi's own brother couldn't sit still anymore and immediately kicked him out. He also said that he would drive his wife back to her parents' home with him.
My own brothers haven't benefited yet, so how can we let outsiders benefit first?
Originally, everyone was already tired of dealing with a lot of bullshit in the Mouse family, but now that their own interests are involved, of course they have become aligned and unanimously exposed to the outside world.
Ye Yaodong had rested at home for two days and was planning to go out to sea at night. When he heard the news about their family, he just smiled.
But after he and his father went to sea for a few days and came back, the story in the village changed again.
It turned out that the brother of Moo Zi's family came to Moo Zi and asked him to pull him out. He wanted to follow him out to make money, but Moo Zi blamed it all on Chen Wei. He just said that he could not make the decision and was just making money with others.
Chen Wei is also being pestered by his own brother, who wants to take him out to make money. Recently, there has been a quarrel that his elbows are turned outwards, and if he has money, he will make it easier for outsiders, but not for his own brother.
However, the village cadres also came to see them and wanted them to help the village. The village also allocated some cheap land to them, introduced some welfare policies, and gave them some blessings, so that they could also drive the development of the village and let the villagers.
Our lives are easier.
When Ye Yaodong came back and heard Lin Xiuqing talking about it, he burst out laughing. He was so happy that he didn't even have time to take off his clothes.
"They have shot themselves in the foot. Haha, I guess they should run away tomorrow. If they don't leave, the village cadres will come to look for them every day."
"Who told them to be so high-profile and well-dressed when they entered the village? In addition, when you came back from the provincial capital some time ago, it was spread that wealthy overseas Chinese would return to their hometowns to give back to their hometowns after making money."
"Everyone is staring at it and holding on to hope that some industries will appear in our village so that everyone can work and earn money."
The smile on his face deepened, "Let them act cool when they enter the village, and make a little money and be so high-profile."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "Now people come to see them every day, either to borrow money or to ask them to invest. I heard that they are very prosperous."
"It's so funny. It's really beautiful."
Don't look at the crowds of people taking turns coming to the door, which looks very nice to people. I guess they are now dumb and swallowing coptis, unable to express their sufferings.
It’s not like he’s really a big boss, so it doesn’t matter if he can just spend some money and let everyone benefit from it.
It’s not that he looks down on people, last year I saw people selling fake fish in the provincial capital, and I heard that a rickshaw puller and a shoe polisher could become a big boss this year?
Selling blood is not so profitable.
He already has 200,000 to 300,000 yuan on hand. Let alone asking him to give back to the village and set up a factory that he doesn't know about, just asking the villagers to live on a water table for a day would make him feel sick.
Money didn't just come from the wind, he had accumulated it for a long time, and this year he made a little more like a snowball. The previous two years were not as easy to make as this year, and it was all hard-earned money.
I just made some quick money this year.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that his two workshops were both located in the village, and he often hired villagers to work on them. The boatmen were also from the village.
When the boats are eliminated, they will be given priority to the village. Although they give priority to their own relatives, they are still from the village, and everyone is related to them.
Now he is taking the lead in asking the village committee to engage in kelp farming. He also sponsored two boats before. If the village committee is dissatisfied, he must treat him like a treasure.
The most important thing is that others have lived in the village for a long time and have not stayed outside. They are truly their own people.
Those who ran out were of course separated by a layer, and Feng Guang was still very unconscious when he came back.
What he is doing now can be regarded as giving back to the village, but the most important thing is that there will be a bumper harvest of kelp next year, which can slowly lead to collective prosperity.
"After so many days, I was able to stay in the village without running away. I don't know if I was enjoying the scenery."
This actually made him very curious, and he should have run away long ago if he had a guilty conscience.
"No, I heard that I can't leave, or what? There was a fight at Chen Wei's house yesterday, and his wife was at the door yelling at him not to go find his mistress."
"Huh? His wife knows that he has a concubine?"
"Maybe, everyone is guessing, he raised a baby outside. His wife took care of the baby at home for him, but he found a concubine outside, lived happily, and gave the money to the concubine, so his wife is not here now
Let him out."
"No wonder, let me tell you, when I came back to Fengguang and saw something was wrong, I should have run away long ago."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Not to mention how lively the village has been in the past few days, they are all talking about their affairs."
"I guess everyone has noticed that they are not really rich, they are just pretending."
"Yes, the village committee hasn't come to the door in the past two days. I guess they've thought about it too much."
"No one is a fool."
"Stop talking and go take a shower quickly. I'll tell you what you want to hear later."
"What else can happen?"
"I heard that someone saw Wang Chuyun having a secret meeting with Chen Wei last night. Today Wang Chuyun was beaten by his husband with a black nose and a swollen face."
Ye Yaodong shook his head. He knew that Chen Wei went out with the money given by Wang Chuyun.
The relationship is really messy.
Lin Xiuqing added: "I heard that they were having an affair a long time ago, but my husband was not at home. Let's talk about it. Some time has passed. Now that my husband is at home, there are rumors that they have a nose and eyes. It's terrible now."
"Just listen to other people's affairs."
She nodded, "It's almost the end of the month when you come back to rest for two days, so you can settle the accounts two days in advance? Otherwise, it will be a different day of the month when you go to sea and come back in two days."
Ye Yaodong looked up at the calendar. Today was already the 27th. When he took two days off to go to sea, it would be the 29th again. He almost had to settle accounts in advance.
"Okay, you can figure it out. Get the bill right first, and then call someone over."
"Well, dad called you and asked you, when will you pick up the next batch of lighters?"
"Wait until I come back from my trip to sea in two days. We have decided to go around the 5th of next month."
"Then I'll tell him later."
"It's up to you. By the way, have they said when the ship that our three brothers are partnering will be delivered? Ah Hai works there on weekends, so he should know the progress, right?"
"I didn't ask about it. You can take a shower later and go over and ask them. They must know better than us. You don't have time to care about that much. They must be watching that boat every day."
Ye Yaodong twisted the towel and nodded. It was almost December. The previous date was the end of the year, so it should be soon.
"When I just came back, I saw two new boats on the dock. I was a little curious and thought of the boats of our three brothers."
"Those two new boats belong to the Aguang family and they came back a few days ago..."
"I know, I heard about it when I came back at the dock."
"Our village has more and more boats, and their boats are also rented out."
"It's a good thing. When there are more and more ships, the pier will definitely have to be built, otherwise it will be difficult to dock."
What he was thinking about was whether the sea would be reclaimed in advance and the coastline moved out so that the water level at high and low tides would be higher, fishing boats could dock better and would not be easily stranded, the sea would be wider, and more boats could be docked at the pier.
.
But that’s all for the future.
After the break, it wasn't long before dinner was served again. During dinner, his mother started gossiping again.
It turned out that the village cadres went to Chen Wei's house to ask him and Moazi to contribute money to help the village. However, they came back with no luck. After looking back and thinking about it, they probably realized that Chen Wei was just a good person on the surface, but in fact he didn't have much money.
Then he turned around and praised him.
Ye's mother smiled brightly and said happily: "Everyone has said that it is better for you to be honest, stop doing these vain things, and actually help the village."
"Everyone can see what a person is like, and his reputation is slowly spread by everyone. How can anyone try to improve themselves? They say it's better for you to be low-key and don't have to do anything. Everyone sees it.
.”
"Everyone acts like a boss even though they haven't made much money, so they all think they have made a lot of money and their trip was in vain."
"Don't go out and say it, otherwise everyone will know that it was me who said it. Let's just listen. Otherwise, if we go out and people hear it, they will think that we are stepping on them on purpose."
Father Ye said: "Looking at how proud you are, I don't know how many people you have said this to."
"How could I have told a few people? I just chatted with some people in our village committee every day, and how could I have gone out to talk about it."
"Tsk, you three aunts and six grandmas know it, but doesn't the whole village know it?"
"How come I have become a aunt and a mother-in-law? How come I have become a aunt and a mother-in-law? Everyone is talking about it, so I just come back and talk about it, and no one can talk about it anymore?"
"No, no, no, you said, you said..." Father Ye saw that her voice was rising and he quickly surrendered.
…
Ye Yaodong heard the two bickering as usual and ignored them, and everyone continued to eat as usual.
It's normal to compare, because he is now famous all over the country.
If two people appear suddenly and look like bosses, people will naturally compare them to each other. It’s not like they are deliberately trying to get rid of them. The public’s eyes are sharp.
He rested at home for two days, settled his accounts for the month, and planned to go to sea at night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the accounts in the house were settled, an uninvited guest came to the door.
The visitor even shouted at the door, wanting to discuss business with him.
Ye Yaodong looked at Chen Wei at the door with confusion. Could he still discuss business with him?
"Awei is really a big boss? Can he even come over to discuss business with you?"
Who knew, he was still confused. Talking about business with him, what kind of business? Wholesale of his dried fish?
With his mind full of confusion, he walked out of the door and asked, "What business are you talking about?"
"Only when I returned to the village did I find out that the lighters in the provincial capital were wholesaled by you."
"Are you from the provincial capital? I don't know."
How would he know if there was someone wholesale lighters from his place and sold them to the provincial capital? He didn't stay in the provincial capital all the time.
"I know, they look exactly the same. I've seen lighters in the hands of other people in the village. They are exactly the same as those sold in the provincial capital. Are they from your side?"
"If they are exactly the same, then it should be right?"
"Lighters are very easy to sell outside. Have you ever thought about building a lighter workshop in the village? The village cadres have said that as long as it can benefit the village, they can also provide some assistance."
Ye Yaodong was a little confused, so what does this have to do with doing business with him?
"I'll invest some money for you, and we can jointly build a lighter workshop in the village, which will also provide jobs for the villagers."
"ah?"
"You know, I have just been back for a few days. I have been out and about. I want to help the village but don't know how to help. After thinking about it for a few days, I thought that your lighters are quite popular outside, so I want to cooperate with you. Everyone
Let’s contribute money and efforts together.”
Ye Yaodong was speechless.
It’s pretty beautiful to think about?
Can you restore your reputation and make a fortune?
Is he short of money? Does he need investment?
If he really wants to build one, won't he build it himself? Does he still need to invest?
"How much are you prepared to pay?"
Chen Wei stretched out five fingers.
Ye Yaodong said: "50,000 yuan?"
He suddenly looked unhappy, as if he was constipated.
"5,000 yuan is enough to approve a piece of land. A thousand yuan is enough to build a wall, a roof, and a warehouse. Three to four thousand yuan is enough. You can spend half of it to buy materials, right?"
Beautiful thought!
"What about technology? Will you be?"
"I can't, can't you?"
"If I can, should I still cooperate with you?"
"Didn't I hear that you bought shares in someone else? You even sent two of your younger brothers to supervise the work..."
Ye Yaodong had a mocking smile on his face, "I am investing in someone else, but the technology is in someone else's hands."
"If you send two people to study secretly, and then come back and do it yourself, wouldn't you be able to make more money?"
"If that's the case, why do I need your investment? Do I owe you the 5,000 yuan? Why can't I do it myself?"
Chen Wei's face looked a little unhappy, "I can sell it to the provincial capital for you. The sales volume will be wider and I can make more money."
"Now I can sell it to the provincial capital without you, right?"
"The quantity you sell now is small, and you sell it for others. I will sell it for you when the time comes."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know how his head grew.
"When I partner with others, I help others sell it. If I partner with you, it means you help me sell it? Isn't it because I help you sell it?"
Chen Wei was speechless for a moment.
"Go back. I have cooperated well with others and my sales are quite good now. I have no plans to start a new business."
"The quantity you sell now is very small. If you start a new business by yourself, you can produce more. You have the things in your own hands, and you can also benefit the village. You don't have to give the money to others, we make it ourselves."
Who are you and your own people?
"No need, your 5,000 yuan is too little, we can't do it, wait until you can come up with 50,000 yuan." Ye Yaodong waved his hand like a fly and said casually, but he didn't expect it to hurt his pride.
"Who says I can't afford fifty thousand? I just think that a small workshop can't cost that much, and don't you have to pay for it too?"
"Are you so rich? 50,000 yuan is very simple. Then wouldn't it be very simple to set up any factory?"
As Ye Yaodong said this, he put his arm on his shoulder and walked out with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, let me go with you. You can't think of a factory to set up in the village. You came to me to talk about lighters. Then I must help you. I will accompany you to the village committee and talk to you.
Let’s talk about it.”
"Since you can spend 50,000 yuan, what kind of factory can you set up? Isn't it just a matter of words? If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to do anything? Let's ask the village cadres to discuss what kind of factory to set up..."
"I……"
"It turns out you are so powerful. Let me tell you, the rumors in the village must have been false recently. Two days after I came back, I heard everyone saying that you are a paper tiger. You pretend to be a paper tiger, but in fact you have no money."
"It seems that everyone has misunderstood. Fifty thousand yuan is nothing to you. You just can't think of a factory to start, so you haven't decided yet."
"This is a simple one. If one person is short-term and two is strong, the three will definitely be able to catch him."
Ye Yaodong spoke loudly, blocking out all his words, and put his arm around his shoulders, half-pushing him towards the village committee.
Chen Wei panicked and immediately threw away his hand.
"Forget it if we can't reach an agreement, I'll think about something else first..."
"We can come to an agreement, but why can't we come to an agreement? You said 50,000 yuan is no longer a problem. If you really insist on building a lighter factory, I can think of another way and I can come up with 50,000 yuan. What solution can't you think of?"
"No, I still have to think about it..."
"What else are you thinking about? Is there anything you can't do with money?"
Chapter completed!
