Chapter 171 Many people are powerful
The second sister-in-law Ye stopped making nets after she finished speaking, and went directly to the house, then excitedly held a handful of money wrapped in a handkerchief, and trotted to hurry.
Ye Yaodong looked at her running back, looked away, and then looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was working hard. He felt that his wife didn't need to be too smart or shrewd, as long as he was neither stupid nor greedy at critical moments.
"Are you tired? Is your back sore after sitting for a long time? Do you want to stand up and walk?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a smile, "How long have you been working, why are you tired? There are still so many."
“There are so many child laborers helping, you can stand up and walk around when you are tired, and drink water.”
"Um."
Sister-in-law Ye joked beside her, "A Dong is becoming more and more capable of loving people."
"Well, my own wife."
Actually, the best is his sister-in-law, she doesn’t offend anyone, gets along well with everyone, can talk to everyone, never gets involved in bad things, and never leaves her behind in good things.
"Dongzi..."
Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, "Is there anything good? I'm so happy."
"You can see this?" Ah Zheng said beamingly.
"Blind people can see it, what a good thing? Are you here to make your brother rich?"
"Tch~ It's almost as if you made me rich." Ah Zheng rolled his eyes, then squatted beside him, and said excitedly, "Didn't we dig out five pearls yesterday? I went to the town with Xiao Xiao this morning." The jewelry store sold it, guess how much we sold it for?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "One or two hundred? Two or three hundred?"
"Fuck, as for guessing so accurately? It doesn't give me any sense of accomplishment."
"Looking at how happy you are, it must be more than a few dozen yuan. You all sold it for one or two hundred?"
"It was two or three hundred. I sold all five small ones for 280. I sold three for 300."
Everyone was surprised now, what a high price!
Ye Yaodong was also interested. Originally, he just asked them to ask casually, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable now?
Forgive him for being less knowledgeable.
"You have three, he has five, the difference is so big?"
"That's what the store said, saying that the value of seawater pearls is determined by their size. Generally, the diameter is 3-5mm, and the gloss is average, and a pearl costs a few cents. If the gloss and color are more attractive, then It’s worth tens of dollars. If it’s bigger, it’s worth more.”
Ah Zheng continued to say happily: "The three I sold are all 8mm in diameter, and the store charges 100 yuan each! The other two smaller ones are worth more than 20 yuan. I am thinking about it. My wife seems to like it very much, so I kept it first, Xiaoxiao sold all of them, and didn't keep a single one."
His wife just got married and came home, and she still keeps it in her heart. It is very fresh, and she must be thinking about it.
Sister Ye was dumbfounded when she heard that, "My dear, then, Ah Qing, you are going to get rich? You have 13 of them, I think they are not small, you can't sell them for thousands of dollars?"
She was almost speechless with envy, why didn't their family have such a fortune?
Lin Xiuqing was also very surprised, is it so valuable? In an instant, her heart was very hot.
"The shop owner still asked me if I had any? I heard that there are many rich people on Hong Kong Island. If they don't need money, they want good things. Or are you selling your beads?"
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Forget it..."
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "It's so valuable and you really keep it for me to wear? Where can I wear it? I hang around the stove all day long, and I wear it for the Kitchen God to see." ah?"
Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose, "It's not that we don't need money urgently, the price will definitely be higher in a few years, and there are no women who don't like jewelry..."
"Then just keep two worthless ones."
"Yeah, Dongzi, haven't you always wanted to change to a bigger boat? It just happened to be sold, and you can buy a new boat so that you can travel farther and earn more money."
"If you think so, don't you have to take it step by step?" You can't spend all your money, you must keep part of the money in your hands, and the child in his wife's belly doesn't know what will happen.
Sell the pearls, maybe all the belongings are just barely enough to change to a second-hand iron boat, and if there is anything, I have to ask others.
"You can take it to the store first and ask how much it's worth before making a decision?" Sister Ye seemed more impatient than herself.
Lin Xiuqing nodded, and said with bright eyes: "Shall we ask the town tomorrow?"
"Are you sure not to?"
She gave him an angry look, "When you get rich, if I have a chance to become a rich lady, how many jewels can't I buy? Now I wear them just to show Zao Gong Zao Po, don't be stupid."
"That's fine, then take it to the store tomorrow to see how much it's worth?"
Originally I wanted to keep it for her, but since she insisted, I had no choice but to let her go, saving her pain and scolding.
She nodded happily.
Ye Yaodong looked at Ah Zheng again, "You hired someone to make row hooks, how are you doing? Have you made a few hundred more? When are you going to release them?"
"I'm going to make another 300, and put together 500 to release. It should be ready tomorrow."
"I also hired someone to do it. I don't know if I can do it well tomorrow."
Ah Zheng was surprised, "The ground cage is still there?"
"Let's release, isn't this a waste of time? The ground cage goods will be collected the next day, and the quantity I release is not large, so longline fishing can be arranged every day."
"Alright, then go together tomorrow afternoon?"
"Then I'm going back."
He stood up and wanted to go out, but Ye Yaodong grabbed his pants, "Don't go, everyone is here, help us do it together."
"No, I don't even want to do my own homework. My parents and my wife are still doing it. You still want me to help you. It's a beautiful idea." He pulled the waistband of his trousers and wanted to pull them back from his hands.
Ye Yaodong held on tightly, "Leave after finishing."
"don't want."
"Then I rip your pants off?"
Ah Zheng gripped his trousers tightly in a panic, "Can you show some face when you step on the horse?"
"Then do you want to do it?"
"Fuck, fuck, **** you to death!"
Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand in satisfaction, "Which one of you can make room? Let this uncle sit."
"Here, here", Ye Chenghai actively stood up and gave up his seat, "Third Uncle, I will take care of Uncle Ah Zheng for you, and don't let him run away. Can you reward me with double rewards?"
"Okay! Very clever!"
Ye Chengyang is proud~
"Uncle Ah Zheng, you don't want me to chase you home, do you?"
Ah Zheng looked at the pair of uncles and nephews with black lines all over his head, so he had no choice but to lift up his pants and resign himself to work.
Ye Yaodong glanced at Ye Chenghai with admiration, Ye Chenghai was so happy that his tail was about to go up to the sky.
Many people are strong, with maltose hanging in front, a group of children didn't even move their buttocks, they worked hard from start to finish, five or six baskets of shelled meat, but within two hours, all the meat was picked out.
Ye Yaodong went to his hometown and brought some long bamboo flats. He stood at the door and spread all kinds of shell meat to dry. During this period of time, the weather is cool and the northwest wind blows easily dry.
His father can weave bamboo flats. There are many such things in his family, and he doesn't need to buy them. He has no burden to take them.
Waiting until he finished drying, Ye Ersao came back at night full of joy, and she didn't know why it took so long to send the money.
"It's done?" Aunt Ye came back after seeing her, and couldn't help asking.
Just now, she was stimulated by Ye Yaodong again, and Mrs. Ye suddenly felt a little eager to make money. She was worried about being unreliable at first, but now she is more concerned.
The second sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "The elder sister-in-law said that the elder brother left early in the morning and wanted to buy a train ticket in advance, and the second cousin will also meet him in the afternoon, so it is the same if I asked the second cousin to take the money directly. At that time, the date of interest will be counted directly from today."
"That's good, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, and I don't know when the big hall brother will come back next time."
"Yeah, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up. I didn't expect my second cousin to follow. So I sat for a while and chatted with them."
…
He has said everything that needs to be said, and if he doesn’t listen, there is nothing he can do.
After drying and cleaning up, the children were sent out to play, and the couple returned to the house.
Excitedly, Lin Xiuqing took the key to open the drawer and took out the few pearls wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Our dozens of pearls don't seem to be small, but these two seem to be a little smaller."
"Hmm, the diameter should be 8 mm. These two are probably around 6 mm. The color and luster are quite good. I feel that it is a pity to sell them."
Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look, "It's a pity, the color should be good, so that it can be sold at a high price."
As soon as she finished speaking, her heart moved, "Should we also take that Melo bead to the jewelry store for appraisal?"
Ye Yaodong stared, "No, this can't be sold, and you can't show your face! It can't be authenticated by the level of our small shop in the town, and it will only be punched if you take it out."
Although he doesn't know the current value of this bead, it is definitely not bad, and in the future, it will be priced in tens of thousands of dollars, and this one in his hand is even worse. Units of ten thousand US dollars.
At this time, no matter what, I have to cover it first.
This era is very chaotic, with no power or power, and if he shows up, he has nothing to reason about if he is bought and sold by force.
If she really wanted to sell those few pearls for money, she would sell them as well, not Mele beads.
Lin Xiuqing saw that his attitude was so determined that he couldn't even take it out for an appraisal, so she had to give up.
"Then keep it as a lucky bead, maybe our family's good luck during this time is brought by it."
"It's right to think so."
Seaside people are very superstitious.
"Then the thirteen pearls are all sold?"
Ye Yaodong looked at her as a money fan, he didn't want to stay at all, and he couldn't help being a little depressed. Is it all his wishful thinking?
He picked out the largest one and the two smallest ones, "Don't sell these three? In the future, the biggest one will be used as a necklace, and the two small ones will be used as earrings. If you want to sell the ten, you can sell them." Sell it!"
Seeing her frowning and looking unhappy, he hurriedly said again: "Keep it first, I'm really short of money, and it's not too late to sell, those ten can be sold for a lot of money."
She nodded reluctantly, "Alright then."
There's another chapter coming a little later...
