"What else? Why would I buy a boat if I don't go fishing? Just buy it to see for myself?" Ye Yaodong said unhappily. He had behaved well, but she still questioned him.
The old lady had been silent the whole time, but now she happily took his hand and said, "Dongzi has grown up and wants to buy a boat to go fishing. So you have to be more careful when you go out alone."
"I know!"
Father Ye glared at the old lady. He hadn't even responded yet, but he still had to ask the eldest and second oldest sons for their opinions.
He looked at his other two sons, "The third son wants to buy that boat, what do you say?"
Ye Yaohua blushed and looked at his two brothers, and said embarrassedly: "Dad, I...I want to...ah!"
He touched his arm and glared at Ye Ersao who pinched him secretly, but Ye Ersao smiled and said to Ye's father: "Dad, let's go back to the house and discuss it later. Yaodong should not be in a hurry for a day or half a day, right?"
Father Ye frowned and looked at her without speaking to her. The second son was a little soft-hearted.
He looked at the boss, "What do you say?"
"Dongzi, how much do you want to ask Dad for the purchase?"
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Then I have to ask Dad how much he plans to sell me for?"
"Boss, what do you think?"
"I need to think about it and give you an answer after dinner."
"Okay, then you all should think about it. Third brother, go back to the room and discuss it with your wife. Don't just speak without thinking!"
After all, Ye's father still didn't believe him!
The behavior of the second son's wife made him feel that the second son was easily influenced, and he was unhappy about it.
As for the third son's behavior, he wanted his wife to supervise him more and take care of this unruly third son. He also hoped that the third son could listen more to his wife.
Being a father is so contradictory.
His son listens to his wife in everything, which makes him feel depressed. But his son doesn't listen to his wife, but he wants him to listen more to the advice of his partner.
Mother Ye smiled and said, "Then you all go back to the room and discuss it. I'll go cook first. It's already noon and the meal isn't ready yet."
There was no work to do, the meals were very simple, and Ye's mother didn't need their help.
After Lin Xiuqing followed Ye Yaodong back to the house, she pulled him aside and asked, "Why did you want to buy that little wooden boat? Wouldn't it be better to put it in the public area so that anyone who needs it can use it?"
God knows how hard she had to endure. From the moment he blurted out that he wanted to buy the boat, she wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but she couldn't interrupt him at the moment.
"If it is kept in the public, who will own the money earned?"
Lin Xiuqing was speechless.
"If I work with my father now, the money I earn will be confiscated to build a house. After the family is divided, when I go out to sea with my father, he will share the money or calculate the wages. But the three of us take turns, and the maximum number of days a month is ten. If we need to repair the machinery or the wind and waves are big, we may not be able to go for a few days a month."
"We have a small boat. We can add some traps and put them there. We can collect the goods every other day. Wouldn't that be more stable? And we don't have to go in the middle of the night."
Lin Xiuqing looked straight at Ye Yaodong, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, no one believes me, but you can't not believe me!"
"Why should I believe you?"
this…
Ye Yaodong scratched his head and said, "Hey, I haven't been doing badly recently. Haven't you noticed it?"
“Who knows how long you can keep it up?”
"Don't discourage my enthusiasm, okay? Aren't you supposed to encourage me? Don't you want me to work hard and make good money?"
She said seriously, "It's because of your recent performance that I think you can still be saved, so I asked you if you were serious. If it were before, I wouldn't even ask you a question. Don't even think about taking money from me."
"If you really want to work hard, then I will definitely support you. If you just fish for three days and dry the net for two days, then don't waste this money."
Ye Yaodong sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, stroked her short hair, and said sincerely for the first time: "Trust me once, the prodigal son will also turn back."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuqing's nose suddenly felt a little sore and her eyes turned red.
After a long pause, she said, "You said it!"
"Yes, I said so!" He heard her nasal tone and patted her back soothingly. "Let's buy the boat. This is a rare opportunity. When we make money in the future, we can buy a big boat and sell the small boat. We won't lose money."
"Okay." She reached out and hugged him back.
Looking at his recent performance, she was willing to give him a chance. If he was cheating her, she could sell the boat. The cost of trial and error was not high.
After the couple agreed, they discussed how much their father would sell it to them. It would definitely not be much less than the price outside, after all, the eldest and second sisters-in-law were watching over it.
Ye Yaodong was not worried. His parents were not the kind of people who cared too much for money. "Let's see what big brother and Ahua think first. I think Ahua seemed a little moved just now."
"Didn't my second sister-in-law stop it? It's harder than anything else to get my second sister-in-law to pay."
He pursed his lips, like a Pi Xiu that only takes in money but never gives out. No wonder he must have saved up a lot of money in his previous life.
"We'll know in a moment. Maybe they would rather follow their father. It doesn't cost any money and it's safe."
"There's no need for us to do it alone..."
"Instead of working alone, the three brothers will take turns? We'll only go a few days a month, and the rest of the time I can eat, drink and have fun as usual?"
Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips and thought, it would be better to work alone and do the work more intensively. Otherwise, she might get tired while playing around.
"Then I'll listen to you and buy it first, but you definitely can't be selfish and set the net by yourself now, and then the eldest brother and the second brother will work at home, and you have to help with the housework."
"I know. I'm busy at home now, and I can't drive out every day. I also need to help with the new house. I can just go there occasionally when I have time."
And he also needs to learn how to row a boat.
Driving a boat is a piece of cake for him, but rowing... is a bit old-fashioned. He never learned it when he was young. He still needs to spend some time testing the water around the shore.
After the couple had discussed it, they went out, just in time for dinner.
During the meal, Ye Yaopeng said directly: "Dad, the third child wants that small wooden boat, so sell it to him at a lower price. It's rare that he wants to work hard. I don't want it anymore."
"Well, where's the second one?"
Ye Yaohua glanced at Ye Yaodong with some shame, "If the third brother wants it, then give it to him. A second-hand wooden boat is not worth much...money..."
He bared his teeth and frowned...
It’s obvious that Mrs. Ye must have pinched him again!
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mother Ye was glaring at Second Sister Ye unhappily, "What are you doing while the man is talking?"
"Ah...I...I didn't do anything, Mom..."
Father Ye glanced at them and was too lazy to say anything about the second son's wife. As a father-in-law, it was not easy for him to say anything.
He put down the quick piece and said firmly, "Brother, let's settle the account. It can't be given for free. Besides, the small wooden boat is not very small. It is worth about 200 yuan according to the market price. Since you all have no objection, then give it to Dongzi. Let him take 150 yuan, which is enough. We are all family. It's just right to use this money to build a house. Do you have any objection?"
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua had no objection. Second Sister-in-law Ye was warned but didn't dare to say anything. First Sister-in-law Ye was always good at protecting herself.
The matter of the small wooden boat was thus settled.
