Ye Yaohua hesitated again after hearing this.
Ye Yaodong slammed the table and said, "A man should be decisive. Once he makes a decision, he should move forward bravely. He can't dither. If he hesitates, he may miss the train. If the second sister-in-law disagrees, you should convince her to agree."
Lin Xiuqing was extremely surprised when she heard this. She never expected that the usually honest Second Brother Ye would also have this idea
Were you convinced by their conversation just now? Do you also think that the shop is worth buying
Ye Yaohua nodded heavily, "Well, men make the decisions, and women just listen. Besides, Dad didn't have any objections just now, and he also thought what you said made sense."
"That is to say, however, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Second sister-in-law must agree to this. We must respect the wishes of women. Women hold up half the sky and are half the family."
Lin Xiuqing leaned against the stove and glanced at him. What she said was better than singing. Why didn't you respect her wishes at noon? He had a lot of ways to persuade others.
"I know. I'll have a good talk with your second sister-in-law when I get back later." Ye Yaohua was embarrassed, rubbing his hands back and forth and smiling awkwardly, "It's this money..."
"Now you just need to pay a deposit of 500 yuan. When the house is finished at the end of the year, you can take the contract and agreement to pay the balance, and then go to register. You can see how much you need by then. If it's not enough, I can lend you some money."
It was remarkable that his second brother suddenly had this idea and the courage to do so. Nowadays, not everyone can sell everything they have and borrow money to buy a shop.
This must help.
If a person has no ideas, you can't push him forward or force him to go. But since he has ideas now, you must support him. It's not easy for his second brother to make a decision.
Although he didn't understand how he suddenly came up with this idea, it was a good thing.
"Okay, okay, I have the deposit. Although I was defrauded of 1,000 yuan by your second sister-in-law at the end of last year, I also got more than 200 yuan from the big king Youyou during the Chinese New Year. In addition, your eldest brother and I each got several hundred yuan from the intermittent trawling over the past six months and the squid fishing last month."
"I had some money saved before, and I still have a thousand yuan in my hand. I can save a little more in the second half of the year. Then I'll bring back the bidding I made before and see how much I still need. If it's not enough, I'll really have to ask you to borrow some." Ye Yaohua said a little embarrassedly.
It was indeed embarrassing for him that he had no money but wanted to learn from others and buy a shop.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing really felt that their second brother had impressed them today.
I guess the 1,000 yuan that was cheated out of him is also a pain in his heart. Instead of leaving the money to be cheated away, it would be better to use it to buy a shop. After all, the shop will be his.
Ye Yaodong smiled and nodded, "Well, buying a store is a big deal, I will definitely help if I can. Second brother will see how much the difference is when the time comes, and I will be able to save some more money in the second half of the year."
"Okay, I just wanted to say it in advance because we were talking so fast."
"Then go back and discuss it with your second sister-in-law, and see if Ah Cai and the others have left. Maybe you can still stay with them."
"Oh, yes, yes, I'll go ask, otherwise I don't know the way and don't know where it is." After saying this, Ye Yaohua stood up hurriedly and jogged out, fearing that he would be a step late and miss it again.
After Lin Xiuqing and the others left, he looked at the door and said, "I didn't expect that my second brother, an honest man, would be tempted to do something extraordinary. He actually bought it as soon as he said it. It's really shocking."
"This shows that the market has good prospects. Even my second brother, an honest man, is tempted and ready to go all out." Ye Yaodong was a little complacent and glanced at her sideways, as if waiting for praise.
"Tsk~ Who knows if it will work? Is my second sister-in-law happy about it?"
"You have to stand up for once, right? You can't let your wife control you every day, right? My second brother loves his wife, otherwise how could he be so accommodating to my second sister-in-law? Whose wife doesn't obey you? Who dares to question the words of the man in charge?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and walked over to her, circled her beside the stove, and looked down at her, "You're right, right? If you really want to treat it, are you afraid that you can't cure it?"
Lin Xiuqing tilted her head back. The two of them were too close. She looked towards the door embarrassedly, worried that someone would see them being so intimate.
She pushed his shoulder but couldn't move him away, so she whispered, "Go away, don't get so close in the daytime. The old lady is still at the door. What if the two little ones run in and see us?"
"What's wrong with that? What does a kid know?" He said that, but he still took a step back.
"Do you think I should mention this to my eldest brother? Maybe he has some ideas too. Otherwise, my second brother went to buy the shop but he was still kept in the dark. It seems as if I asked my second brother to buy it but didn't ask him, and left him behind."
"You decide. They are your brothers anyway."
"Wait and see if Second Sister-in-law agrees. If she doesn't agree, it's useless."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and went back into the house. A voice came from behind him, "You've contradicted yourself. Just now you were saying that your second brother was afraid that he couldn't cure your second sister-in-law!"
Ye Yaodong followed closely behind, "After all, not everyone is as majestic and powerful as me!"
"shameless."
"Hehe~ I don't know what happened. When I came back yesterday, no one in the village knew that I bought a store. I didn't expect the news to spread early this morning."
"Maybe he didn't intend to tell me at first, but ended up being forced to tell me by his wife when he was sleeping at night."
"Maybe."
As the two of them entered the house one after the other, a voice louder than the other came from outside the house: "Third Uncle~"
"Third Uncle~"
"Dad~"
"Uncle San~ The tide is receding, Uncle San, the tide is receding..."
"Uncle San, hurry up~"
Ye Yaodong had just closed the door when he heard a burst of shouting. He cursed softly, "These bastards are so annoying. They don't even sleep in the middle of the day. Where do they get so much energy..."
"They must have asked you to help them save some private money. You promised. Go out and take a look. I'll take a nap with the kids."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his temples and felt a little regretful. These kids had no sense of boundaries at all. They would remember what you said for many days and would not forget it.
As soon as he opened the door and came out, they rushed to him excitedly. Some of them couldn't stop and bumped into the person in front of them, and there were cries of "ouch ouch" everywhere.
"Shh~ Shut up, my sister is still sleeping. If you keep making noise, you won't be allowed to go."
"Good shush shush..."
"Shhhhh..."
"Uncle San, then shall we go now? I see the tide seems to be receding."
"I saw Shitou and his friends playing on the beach next door..."
"I saw adults carrying buckets and running to the beach to pick up small seafood..."
Everyone originally remembered to speak in a low voice, but ended up speaking in a normal tone again.
Ye Yaodong waved his hand helplessly, "Everyone, go out and take a look first. Did you send someone to take turns and wait for the tide to go out at the beach?"
"No, we asked dad when the tide would go out, and he said it would be in the afternoon, and then we didn't dare go anywhere, keeping an eye out all the time." Ye Chenghai said excitedly and honestly.
"Since you are so enthusiastic, why don't you give me half of the private money you earn?"
"That won't work." Ye Chenghai seemed to feel that he had rejected the movie too bluntly. He rolled his eyes and said flatteringly, "We can each pay a little and treat you to a movie."
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "Crowdfunding, huh? What makes you have such a good memory? Are you still thinking about watching a movie?"
Ye Chengjiang also said excitedly: "We all remember it, Uncle San, we have to save enough money today, and then we will go to the movies tomorrow morning."
"Yes, otherwise after the typhoon, you will have to go out to sea again and you won't be free. You don't know when you will be free." Ye Chenghe nodded in agreement.
Ye Xiuxiu, a girl, also shouted, "Uncle San must keep his word."
The remaining little ones were just there, echoing, "Yes, yes, yes," those who keep their word.
"You spent all the money you earned the past few days, didn't you?"
Ye Yaodong stood at the door and looked at the sea in the distance. Although there were still waves, the water level nearby had obviously dropped. It was indeed ebbing tide. Fortunately, it was still cloudy today, there was no strong sunshine, and there was a little wind.
"It's all Ye Chenghe's fault, that idiot! He actually hid under the covers and ate instant noodles, spilling them all over the bed. My mom found out, took away my remaining 10 cents, and beat me up. I was so mad."
Ye Chenghai got angry when he thought of this. He clenched his fists and wanted to grab his brother and beat him up.
Ye Chenghe stiffened his neck unconvinced, "It was you who was too noisy that night and provoked mother."
"It's you!"
"It was you. It was you who heard the noise next door and got so excited that you hit the wall, and that's when Mom came."
"You still keep talking! Do you believe I will beat you up?" Ye Chenghai raised his fist again angrily.
"I'm afraid of you!"
The two brothers started to cross their eyes as they talked. Neither of them wanted to give in to the other
Ye Yaodong patted the back of each of them's head and said, "Behave yourself, or you two will stay and look after the house."
"snort!"
They both snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads away without looking at each other.
"You little bastards! I still have to babysit you guys, so be good. If you don't obey me, I'll break your legs and tie you up at the door."
These naughty boys are just too energetic. They would start fighting after just a few words.
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he rolled up his trouser legs, took two buckets of water and fire tongs, and walked out.
They didn't need anyone to remind them. When they ran over just now, they took the small basket that Ye's father made for them and threw it into the yard. Now they all held it in their hands and hurriedly followed, surrounding their third uncle as he walked towards the beach.
The old lady sat on a chair at the door, listening to the radio, waving a large palm-leaf fan, watching them laughing and making noises, her toothless gums showing, and she only shouted something at their backs.
"Be careful, Dongzi, keep an eye on it."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand without even turning his head, "Got it!"
