It was estimated that an hour passed before the three of them left, and then Ye Mu and others anxiously entered the house.
"What do you mean? Are you really here to buy the foundation of our house?"
Father Ye was finishing a sip of hookah and nodded, "I don't know where they found the master. He said that the feng shui of our land would make him prosperous. He said that he has had bad luck in the past two years and wants to change his luck."
"He's not from our village, so why did he buy the land?"
"He said he wanted to build a small house. When he came back from the sea occasionally, he would not be able to go to the county seat in time, so he wanted to sail the boat and dock at our dock to rest here."
"Is this man very rich?"
"I heard there was a big ship, but I don't know much else."
Ye Yaodong leaned against the wall and said lazily: "This man is dishonest. I guess he went to the high seas for smuggling. Big ports dare not dock. The small dock in our village is just convenient for them to unload goods secretly at night. Unloading is not allowed at night."
Looking for a place to spend the night?”
"The location of this land is not far from the beach, and there are not many residents around it. Isn't it just right? There may be another reason why they think the feng shui is good!"
In his last life, he heard some rumors that Lin Jishang's family made their fortune through smuggling, but he didn't know what they were smuggling on the high seas.
In their rural areas, the villagers tend to do more and do less. Even if they know something, they talk about it privately and don't go out of their way to report it.
Everyone in the room took a breath when they heard this. It is illegal to smuggle on the high seas. Father Ye was also shocked, "How did you know?"
"You're guessing. He seemed a bit secretive when he spoke earlier. Hey, no matter what, our family didn't suffer any loss anyway. We also made a fortune. Just don't go out and make nonsense."
"What are you talking about? Why did you make a fortune?" Mother Ye's heart was like a cat's claws, but no one took the initiative to say it.
Others were also a little anxious, "Yeah, what did you say?"
Father Ye said with a smile: "We gave the land we are building to our cousin Zhou Yechi in Linjishang. The salary and food expenses of the people hired during this period will go to him. We can choose a new piece of land in the village to build the house."
He also paid for the base, and he also compensated us with a 6-meter wooden boat."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Isn't this equivalent to getting a boat for free?
"Why should we give him the homestead we are building without giving him some benefits?" Ye Yaodong said.
"Dad, since we sold the land to him, do we have to be paid for our work?" Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, you all work together, and you also have to calculate your wages. In the evening, let your mother-in-law calculate how many days you have worked, how much your wages are, and the food expenses. Let's go to the commune to find Secretary Chen tomorrow."
Ye Yaopeng reminded, "Dad, we have to check the condition of the boat tomorrow. We can't give it to us with a broken boat."
"Definitely, I have to test the water no matter what."
Sister-in-law Ye asked happily: "Then where should we choose for the new foundation?"
Father Ye looked at the three brothers, "Where do you want to choose?"
"Choose the land in front of the beach. It's close to the sea. You'll know when the tide goes out immediately, so you can go fishing in the sea easily."
In front of everyone, Ye Yaodong would not say anything like "facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming", but if his parents heard it, he was probably going to get hammered again. He was running around for three meals every day and still facing the sea, spring flowers were blooming?
Father Ye frowned, "Typhoon day..."
"Don't build it too far forward, as long as the waves can't hit it. It's close to the beach, so you can save a little walking to get to the pier."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua have no objections, they can build it anywhere.
Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye also think what he said is quite reasonable. You can see the high tide and low tide at any time, and you can go to the beach one step faster than others when the tide goes out. As long as you build it in a position where the waves can't hit it.
"If you don't have any objections, then just build that piece and go measure it tomorrow."
Seeing that there was no objection, Father Ye made his decision directly.
Because he had important things to do the next day, Father Ye did not go to sea at night, and the housekeeper also informed the workers overnight that the work would be temporarily suspended, and work would resume after a new homestead was determined.
The length of the small wooden boat is 6 meters, and the actual load is about 5 tons. It is not very shabby. If you buy it second-hand, it will cost about 200 yuan.
Father Ye rowed a circle on the sea and checked that there was no problem. To be on the safe side, he asked a master shipbuilder in their village to help check again. After there was no problem, he felt relieved and went to the commune to see Secretary Chen as a witness. By the way,
Plan for a new homestead.
Everyone in the Ye family was very happy. It was just a change of homestead. It was a free boat. There was nothing better than this.
After the transaction went smoothly, Secretary Lin repeatedly confirmed with Ye's father that they were voluntary, and then simply issued a new certificate and approved the land on the seaside. Of course, the money came from Lin Jishang's cousin Zhou Yechi.
.
After calculating all the wages, the Ye family left the land alone and planned to notify the workers to dig holes for the new foundation tomorrow and start work again.
After returning home, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what are you going to do with that boat?"
"Huh? What are you planning to do?"
"You have a big boat, but you can't even drive that small boat!"
Father Ye frowned, "What do you want to do?"
"Sell it to me!"
A 6-meter boat is not too small. He can't afford a larger one, and he can't afford a new one. It would be a good idea to buy a second-hand wooden boat like this and start driving it temporarily.
It was better than taking turns with his two brothers to go to sea with his father, which only happened once every three days, and all the money earned from trawling had to be confiscated to build a house, so there was no money to share.
He wanted to make money, but he didn't know how to do business, he had no capital, and no one believed in him. As a seaside person, it would be a good idea for him to first build a small wooden boat to put the cage net on.
You know, fishing boats are the tools that people on the seaside rely on for survival. Few people will resell a good boat. Unless it is a small boat for a big one, the obsolete small boats will be sold to relatives first. Second-hand boats are not easy to buy. Today
This boat was his chance.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised and asked in unison: "You want to buy it?"
"No?"
Father Ye frowned, "You can buy whatever you want for your own boat. If you need it, just take it and sail it."
"Dad, you have three sons, who do you plan to give them to?"
Uh... these words knocked Father Ye down.
Mother Ye was more knowledgeable about balancing the family. She changed the subject and said, "Dongzi, why did you buy that wooden boat?"
"I want to have a boat of my own. I can't afford a new one, and I can't buy a second-hand one. It just so happens that my family has an extra boat, and it's hard for the three brothers to divide it. So I want to buy it."
When the two brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua heard that he wanted to have a boat of their own, they felt a little bit anxious in their hearts. They wanted it too.
Father Ye looked at him with some suspicion, "You want to go fishing by yourself?"
Why doesn't he believe it so much? If the eldest brother and the second child say that they want a boat of their own, he will definitely believe it, but the third child...
Lots of criminal records!
Even if he seems to be diligent and willing to work recently, he doubts how long this guy can keep it up!
