Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

Chapter 1: Shameless visit

Views:

Ye Yaodong stood in the corner of the room with a throbbing head. He had no cigarette to smoke and could only hold a straw in his mouth. He looked at his eldest uncle and second uncle, who were arguing with his father and two brothers, their faces red and necks thick, and the table was slamming loudly!

He couldn't understand. Wasn't he hired to be a boatman on a big ship? He went to the deck on a whim to pee, but was hit by a wave and fell into the sea and died

How come when I woke up this morning, I was transported back to 1982

Damn... Amazing!

He still hasn't come to his senses. Not even his father's catch of a large yellow croaker could surprise him. It's really too much of a surprise to be reborn at the age of 25!

I am 65 years old, but I have leapt 40 years ago and rejuvenated myself to the age of 25.

Really...really...really good~

It's back again!

It's a pity that after his death, the ship owner must have had to pay a million or so in compensation, which only benefited the two boys at home.

I don’t know whether they will cry or laugh after receiving the news…

"Third brother, don't forget that the boat was left by our father. It was only because our mother chose to live with you in her old age that she left it to you to use. We brothers all have a share in it. You have to share the money from selling the yellow croaker among us brothers."

"Yes, Third Brother, you are so proud now that you have caught a large yellow croaker, right? The boat was left by Dad, and we all have a share. You can't ignore our brotherhood and take it all for yourself."

Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye II were both yelling at the top of their lungs, one sentence at a time, making Father Ye so angry that he glared.

"Bullshit, it's true that the boat was left by my father, but at that time the boat was almost scrapped and the engine was broken. You guys didn't want it anymore and wanted to share the cash, so you threw the broken boat to me! You said the broken boat still had 3,000 nails and could be sold for a lot of money. Mom lived with me, so I took advantage of it."

"I'm the youngest, and I couldn't win the fight, so I suffered a loss. What's the matter? You watched me repair the boat bit by bit over the past two years, and you're jealous again? No way. I spent all my family's savings on this boat, and it just got off to a good start, and you all come to my door to ask for a share of the money. Where's your face?"

Uncle Ye frowned and said, "Third brother, you really took advantage when dividing Dad's inheritance. This boat is Dad's legacy after all. We left it to you because we wanted Mom to live with you. It can also leave a memory for Mom. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for us to sell the boat and divide the money?"

"That sounds nice, but keep it in mind. How much do you think it's worth if you sell it as junk? The wooden board on top is worthless, and a pound of iron is only a few cents. Just throw it to me, and you can have one less person to share the inheritance!"

"Uncle, when grandpa passed away, everyone was here. We had already agreed that you would take the money and my dad would take the broken boat. This was what you discussed and decided. My dad saw my grandma wiping tears and was reluctant to sell the boat, so he didn't say that we would all share the cash after selling the boat. He accepted this loss."

The person who spoke was Ye Yaodong's elder brother, Ye Yaopeng, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by his uncle.

"We adults are talking, why are you, a junior, butting in?"

"It's my family's money, why can't I say anything? We've divided the family a long time ago. You guys can come to my house and ask for a share of the money from my family's fish sales, and you still don't allow me to speak?"

"This is the elders' business, you have no right to speak!"

Ye Yaodong felt a headache standing in the corner, frowning and spitting out the straw in his mouth. He stepped forward and put his elbow on his uncle's shoulder. His uncle was not very short, so the shoulder was just right for him.

He said in a rude tone: "Uncle, you are going too far. This is our family, why doesn't my eldest brother have the right to speak?"

"My father also caught the big yellow croaker. Did you and my second uncle go out to sea with him? How dare you come to my house and ask for a share of the money? Do you think you are that shameless?"

"Come on, let's go out and talk. Call all the villagers out, including the village chief, to judge whether we should give you some money!"

"If you guys say that our family can't keep all the points, my father is a very particular person and he will definitely not say a word!"

Ye Yaodong hooked his uncle's neck and walked out of the house. Only his father was concerned about his reputation and the relationship between brothers and didn't want to tear his face apart, so he could continue to argue for so long.

He was the one who kicked him out long ago. What kind of person is he? How shameless!

But, after all, they are his elder uncles and he can't beat them no matter how bad they are. He can only talk to them and drag them out to talk.

Uncle Ye was short, just over 160cm tall, while Ye Yaodong was 180cm tall. His neck was stuck under his armpit, and Uncle Ye couldn't break free. He could only stagger and follow him out.

"Let go! Are you so reckless as to strangle me? I'm your uncle!"

"Uncle, those who want to extort money from my family are my enemies. Let's go out and talk!"

He clearly remembered that when he was young, he was a second-rate guy in the village. He was idle all day long, hanging out with friends instead of doing real work, and fighting was commonplace. He only restrained himself after getting married.

No one thinks it is unusual to drag your elders like this or say rude things. Instead, they think it is quite normal.

But, he is his uncle after all, and with decades of experience, he is not that bad anymore. This action is indeed not a good look.

Ye Yaodong loosened his hand and started pulling, dragging his uncle to the door.

Ye Yaopeng breathed a sigh of relief. The third brother finally took action. He didn't know what was going on, but the third brother looked dazed this morning, not saying a word, and has been silent until now. In the past, he would have lost his temper and would not have let his uncles talk for so long.

"Fellow villagers, come quickly... um... "

Uncle Ye covered Ye Yaodong's mouth quickly, smiled awkwardly and said, "Yaodong, your uncle and I came here to discuss things with your father. After all, everyone's life is very difficult, and it's normal for brothers to help each other..."

"Yes, we just discussed it with your father. How can we just talk about our family affairs outside? Let me go, let's go inside and talk."

Uncle Ye himself felt that he was in the wrong. If he said this in front of the villagers, they would not have the face to do so. After all, they had been separated for two years.

Ye Yaodong pulled away his uncle's hand that was covering his mouth, "What are you going to say inside? I'm so tired from hearing you guys banging your hands on the table and arguing this early in the morning. It's better to say it outside so that everyone can hear whether you are right or not. Folks... um... "

"Third brother, don't you take care of your son?" Uncle Ye glared at Father Ye.

"Hmph... Now that I know that family disgrace should not be made public, I should speak out and let the villagers judge. Otherwise, people who don't know the truth will think that I took advantage of you."

At this time, the neighbors heard the noise and gathered around, looking at the Ye brothers curiously.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sell more than 200 kilograms of yellow croaker yesterday? Aren't you happy?"

"What happened to you guys? Did Yaodong fight again?"

"What did Yaodong do this time?"

"You're already married and have kids, why are you still so ignorant..."

Ye Yaodong was also speechless. It seemed that his image as a second-rate guy was deeply rooted in people's minds. Whenever something happened, the blame was directed at him!

He raised his eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone: "I didn't cause any trouble this time, don't blame me, it's someone who is shameless..."

"Ah... nothing, nothing. It's a good thing that we caught the big yellow croaker. We were just curious about how you caught it, so we came over to ask and chat. Yaodong insisted that it was too hot in the house and asked us to come out to talk so that we would be cooler..." Uncle Ye interrupted him and responded to his neighbor with a smile.

Uncle Ye also laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, we have finished talking. Mom is not at home because she is working in the fields. Let's go back first, big brother."

"Well, go back first, go back first."
