Mrs. Ye was blocked by Ye's father's words, and Ye Yaohua also glared at her, so she reluctantly stopped talking.
She felt that her man did more, while Ye Yaodong did nothing and just sat back and reaped the benefits. For a long time, she felt very dissatisfied.
Now all the money they earned from going out to sea with their family has been confiscated, but he has gone out on his own and keeps all the money he earned for himself. He feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks about it, and always feels that he has done too much.
Seeing that his second daughter-in-law had stopped her fuss, Ye's father glared at Ye Yaodong and said, "Did you hear that? Stop fooling around. We are currently building a house. You have to go to the homestead to help with the work every day. Otherwise, when I come back and hear that you have run away again, I will break your legs."
"I know, long-winded."
"I tell you so much every day for your own good. You are in your 20s and not a three-year-old child. You have to help with housework. Now that you have a wife and children, you have to have some sense of responsibility and family values..." Mother Ye couldn't help but started nagging again.
Ye Yaodong suddenly felt a headache. After he came back, he also helped with the work and scooping seafood. He was no longer like before, but his parents' perception of him was still the same as before and they subconsciously ignored the fact that he had changed.
It's normal to have friends. He can't just be reborn and not have friends, right? Besides, his friends are all very nice and loyal.
I can only continue to perform slowly.
"Okay, okay... I know, I know, I know... I will work hard. Mom, you should cook quickly, my dad is starving to death!"
"You bastard, you're the one who's going to starve to death. Do you know how to speak?" Father Ye got angry when he heard him speak.
"Ah... yes... you want me to starve to death, I'm starving to death... you guys eat, I'm leaving first!"
"It's almost time for dinner, where are you going to die?"
"I'm going to eat at Guang's house to save some rice for the family..."
Ye Yaodong walked out while talking. His voice gradually faded away. Then Ye's father's scolding voice could be heard again in the room. He was talking about how Ye Yaodong was out of tune...
The smiling face that he had when he first entered the room was gone, as if it was all an illusion.
Although Ye Yaodong had fun with his friends, he was also not without sense of propriety. After he had almost finished eating and saw that it was getting dark, he went home early.
"Why are you smoking and drinking again?"
"Does it taste strong? I only had two cups."
He raised his arm and smelled it. The smell of cigarette smoke on his body seemed to be quite strong. Even his fingers still had the smell of seafood, which had not been washed off.
"I'll go wash up."
He took another shower before entering the house.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't wait to ask, "Can we still rent the boat tomorrow?"
"You can rent it, but you have to pay extra. The old lady from Guang's aunt's family knew that we used her fishing net to catch more than 7,000 kilograms of mackerel today, so she went directly to Guang's house in the afternoon and asked him to pay more."
She frowned, "Why is it still like this? How much more money should I give her?"
"A Guang said that his aunt and uncle were easy to talk to, but the old lady was a little difficult to deal with. She said that she could rent it to us tomorrow, but it would cost five dollars, which means ten dollars for two days. She asked us to pay her eight dollars, otherwise she would not rent it to us."
She sat up in surprise. "Ah, five dollars, why don't you just rob it? Others only make a dozen dollars a day by hauling nets out to sea, and they still have to pay for gas. If you rent it for a month, it will cost 150 dollars. How much do workers make in a month? They don't have to do anything but lie down."
"Besides, you are just fishing in the sea. You were lucky to run into a school of mackerel today. You must be crazy to spend five dollars to rent a boat to go fishing in the sea. The gas cost is still a few cents a dollar."
He couldn't tell her that he rented a boat to overcome his fear. Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to spend money to rent a boat to go fishing? If you are not lucky enough, the money may not be enough for the boat fare and gas.
People these days are very frugal, so they are reluctant to spend money and are reluctant to spend money on vegetables.
"Shh~" Ye Yaodong saw the two children turned over and lay crookedly because of the noise, and whispered: "We are also in the wrong. We only said to rent a boat, not a net. The old lady was also very strong. We can't argue with her. Anyway, we have made a lot of money, so we can just pay it out of the money from selling goods. Let's share a little."
Having tasted the sweetness, everyone wants to go again tomorrow. Even Chen Wei and Fatty excitedly said they want to join them and go together tomorrow.
They are all friends, so they feel embarrassed to refuse.
“Will there be more people going tomorrow?”
Her attention was immediately diverted and her brows furrowed even tighter.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s money or not for now. After all, I’ve earned 1,600 yuan, so ten yuan from it is acceptable. But if there are too many people, and if there is a big shipment, won’t the share of money be even less
"Alas, when they heard that we caught more than 7,000 kilograms of mackerel today, they all slapped their thighs and regretted not coming with us. They said they must go with us tomorrow."
In fact, they were not very happy to have two more people share the pie, but, they had been friends for many years and they really couldn't say no. Besides, they were just lucky today, it was impossible for them to meet each other every day.
Since they all want to go, I have no choice but to take them all with me. I can't fall out over something uncertain. As I said, it would be great if I had my own boat.
"How dare they do that? Seeing you guys make money, they want to come over and get a piece of the pie..."
"Oh, forget it. If you want to follow us, just follow us. There is no place around here to get any valuable seafood. We have to go to distant seas. With so many people, it may not even be enough to cover the cost of the ship and fuel. We can get some seafood to eat. Let's go to the isolated island and see if we can come across any big fish. We'll just act accordingly."
However, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by, so he doesn't hold out any hope and would just be happy to find something.
"You men are like this. You still care about friendship and loyalty..."
Women are talkative and they worry about things that have nothing to do with them. He doesn't have a golden finger. If he had it, he would just make money secretly, get rich quietly, and not tell anyone else.
Seeing that his wife was nagging non-stop, Ye Yaodong simply shut her up with his actions.
"Don't come, you were so weak yesterday..."
"Fuck, who are you looking down on?"
Youth is capital, not to mention that a man’s self-esteem does not allow him to retreat!
Although the tide would not recede until the afternoon, we had paid a high price to rent a boat and everyone was very enthusiastic. We definitely couldn't wait until the tide receded in the afternoon like we did yesterday.
Ye Yaodong had just gotten up early in the morning and everyone rushed to his house to wait for him.
Under everyone's urging, he casually took a few mouthfuls of porridge, poured it in when it was no longer hot, then took the tools that Lin Xiuqing had prepared for him in advance, and followed everyone else excitedly towards the dock.
The fat guy was also very conscious and took the initiative to buy diesel as soon as he arrived at the dock. It was okay for him to follow suit shamelessly, but he had to help pay for the fuel.
