I feel that his thoughts are one after another, and the things in the house are gradually more than other houses, which also shows that he is not fooling around.
But I have to eat slowly, one bite at a time, and I can’t become a big fat man after eating in one breath.
"Let's take our time? They didn't say they want to sell it. After all, it's their old house. As a village head, they don't need money. Maybe they want to keep it as a souvenir. Ordinary people would consider selling it."
"That's what I said, so I just thought about it casually. I plan to do this for the time being, rent it first, and talk about it later."
She nodded, feeling relieved.
"Ah Zheng, how many catties of fish did you buy today?"
"It's 2000 catties, and it can be three to four hundred catties. He paid for the travel expenses back. It should be no problem to earn more than 20 yuan."
"That's not bad. You can earn more than 20 if you go there once. If there is weather in a month, you can go a few more times and earn a lot."
"It has to be done without going to sea. Anyway, we don't need to worry about it. Just wait for him to sell it to us. He is planning to go there at night. I think I won't go with him. Just ask him to deliver the whole carload of dried fish."
Lin Xiuqing nodded, "That's fine, let's pay him the travel expenses, and the two of them can share it together. It also saves you from having to pay for it yourself, and it can save a lot of money."
"Yes! It's good if someone carpools. I pay when I go, and he pays when I come back. Anyway, I want to deliver the goods, and he wants to buy the goods. It's a win-win situation."
After the old lady put the cooked noodles on the table, she smiled and said: "Your friends are looking more and more decent. Please entrust them with the work of delivering fish at night. You can sleep more at night, so you don't have to work so hard."
Just as Ye Yaodong was about to agree to speak, there was a dog barking at the door, and Ye Yaosheng's voice.
"Dongzi? Is Dongzi at home!"
"Is Dongzi back?"
Ye Yaodong stood up and looked at the door, but saw Ye Yaosheng was blocked by a group of his family's dogs and couldn't get in.
It wasn't the first time he came to the door. The dog recognized him and didn't bark, but he didn't know him well enough to let him in directly.
Ye Yaodong walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and kicked a few dogs that were in the way, "Go aside, they are in the way."
Ye Yaosheng looks a little haggard, a little sluggish, and the dark circles and eye bags under his eyes are extremely heavy, and he can tell that he has not been doing well recently.
He thought of the gossip that his wife, his mother, and neighbors had chatted with in the past two days, and he probably guessed the purpose of his visit.
"Brother A Sheng, what's the matter? Come in and sit down."
"Hey, good." Ye Yaosheng had never felt so restrained, and he was embarrassed from head to toe.
Also in order to ease his embarrassment, he looked at the bowl of rice noodles on the table and asked, "Would you like some snacks?"
"I just came back from the city, I haven't eaten lunch and it's not time for evening meal, so I will cook a snack first to fill my stomach."
"It's been hard work for you, it's not easy to do anything."
"It's okay, it's better than many people, just sit down."
He took advantage of the situation and sat down, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and rubbed his hands back and forth.
Ye Yaodong didn't want to see his jokes. Seeing his embarrassment and embarrassment, he asked, "How did you talk about it? Did you solve it? What did the second uncle and the second aunt say? I heard that it's been a few days?"
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "The whole village has been watching for a few days and it's lively."
Lin Xiuqing took a rag to the stove, wiped it here and there, turned her head and said with a smile: "I don't talk much about you now. Today I'm talking about the thief in Haiqing Village, and I'm talking about our family."
"Hehe, the folks finally stopped talking about me when they were having dinner today."
"How did you solve it? Have you reached an agreement?"
"I came here for this matter. Alas, the village cadres and the women's federation have come to help mediate in the past two days. They didn't come to your house in the morning because of the thief in your house, but they talked about it in the afternoon."
"Because my resignation caused losses to the Wang family and Wang Lizhen, now I have to compensate them 200 yuan for the loss of reputation or something. Anyway, I have to give their family 200 yuan in compensation, and this matter is over."
Although Ye Yaosheng looked haggard, when it came to the conclusion, there was a sense of ease in his tone of voice.
The old lady hurriedly said: "Okay, it's fine if you divorce. It's okay if your father is not good, and your mother is not sensible. Neither of the two is reliable. The daughter-in-law in front of you is your mother who spends all her time talking nonsense. She gave her this folk remedy and that recipe. I don't care about her. In the end, even the good people are eaten up, and they are gone."
"Your third aunt is also prestigious now, and she walks around several villages from time to time. She knows which villages and women are like better than anyone else, and she is much more reliable than your mother. You can no longer listen to your mother."
After she finished speaking, she touched her pocket and turned her head to go back to the house, but before taking two steps, she turned around again and didn't move again.
She almost forgot that during the Chinese New Year, she wrapped all the money she had saved over the years in red paper for Dongzi, and now she wanted to use some money to subsidize Ah Sheng, but there was no other way.
Alas, I am getting old and useless, and I can't save much money, and I can't divide up the number of children and grandchildren.
The old lady sighed in her heart.
No one present noticed the old lady's behavior.
Ye Yaodong said to Ye Yaosheng: "It's fine if it's resolved, but do you want to give the 200 yuan at once today? Is there any difficulty?"
Seeing that he came to the door deliberately, and talked about himself, Ye Yaodong was also prepared.
Ye Yaosheng smiled awkwardly, and took two seconds to say, "Yes, I don't have enough money..."
"Second uncle and second aunt won't help you?" Lin Xiuqing asked in surprise.
The old lady came to her senses in an instant. She was too old to save much money, and all her money should have been given to Dongzi.
But, what happened to the second child?
After the couple cheated their own son, they let go of it? The 200 yuan has to be paid by the second couple. They can't let others wipe their butts for their own troubles.
She is a half-year-old person who is about to enter the earth. Of course, she has no money. The two old people must have some on hand. It is only natural for me to spend money on my son.
"Where are your parents? Let them pay. They are unreliable and reckless, and they have already implicated you. Now they can't even bear to pay the money, so you have to borrow it everywhere? They are all old bones. If you don't bring it with you when you die, you still search like this."
"no…"
"It's not what it is, it's old, and I don't think about it at all. Everyone's mind is full of shit. They all owe scolding, no one scolds a few times from time to time, he doesn't know who he is, let me talk about him..."
"When it's time to pay, I can't bear it. I hold it tightly. My son doesn't care. Who will take care of him in the future? It's not okay to scold him. I'll scold him. I can't bear to give 200 yuan..." The old lady became more and more angry, and she was about to walk out with a cane.
Ye Yaosheng hurriedly stopped her, "No, my mother also gave fifty yuan..."
"Huh? Fifty yuan... why didn't she just give five yuan? This old fool, who doesn't distinguish between four and six, is so picky about his own son. It's obvious that they messed up the mandarin ducks themselves, but they only gave 50 yuan. Why don't they give it?
The old lady was even angrier when she heard the 50 yuan. Her own son was cheated, and she didn't say she was responsible, so she only gave 50 yuan.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly stopped the old lady, "Don't join in the fun... If you want to scold someone, let my father call the second uncle over later, don't run around with your crutches."
"When I get old, where do I eat? My son doesn't help..."
Ye Yaosheng quickly explained, "My brothers, my father is not partial to me, 200 yuan is a lot..."
"He also knows a lot, why did he agree? He didn't say to give less, and you have subsidized that woman for a year. Does this have to be counted? It's all day lily, how dare you ask for so much money? How much does it cost to marry a wife?"
"It's because you don't have a daughter-in-law, and you have to post a sum of money to marry a daughter-in-law. Your mother is blind, and said that you are honest, and you need to find a powerful one. Well, this is a powerful method. It is powerful for your family. Are you pretending to be straw or shit?"
"Their family is crying and making noise..."
"There's no one in your house? Don't your parents usually make a fuss? Now they're all wilted, and they can be rounded and flattened by others? It's useless at all... they will bully their own family..."
The old lady was angry and poked the ground with her cane a few times, "Can you ask the village to adjust it again and give me less?"
Ye Yaosheng lowered his head and said condescendingly: "Forget it? It's been a few days of mediation. It's too much trouble. It's not a solution to keep arguing. Everyone can't work."
"You just say you don't have money, just delay..."
"If you procrastinate and refuse to give, you will come to the door every day, and no one can bear it..."
"Oh, your family is really **** me off..." The old lady slapped him angrily, "It's a good thing I didn't retire with you, otherwise I would have a short life of ten years. I don't care about you, what your family loves, half of my feet are buried in the ground, who knows how many days I can eat? Take care of me, and I can live a few more days."
After finishing speaking, he was angry and went back to the house by himself on crutches.
Ye Yaodong thought to himself, it's better to leave, so as not to make people angry listening here, and if they run around later, they will have to worry more.
"Then brother Asheng is 150 short now?"
Ye Yaosheng nodded with a dull face, "I haven't saved any money this year, so I can only come here with the cheek to ask you. I will work for you and pay it back."
