Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1050: Spreading Rumors and Fighting (1 words, monthly ticket +23)

A Guang also smiled as he looked at Ye Xiaoxi, whose round, big face looked funny no matter how he looked at her. Compared with his daughter's small face the size of a palm, Ye Xiaoxi looked festive and comfortable.

He pinched his daughter's face and said, "You should eat more too. Look at your sister's appetite."

Pei Yu nodded heavily.

"I'm pretty free anyway, so I'll go buy two pieces of fabric this afternoon and ask my third sister-in-law to make two small spring clothes for them both."

Mother Ye said, "Why bother? Let Xiaoyu wear Xiaojiu's short ones, and let Yangyang wear Xiaojiu. Anyway, just roll up the trouser legs and the clothes. The two of them squat there all day, either playing in the mud or playing in the sand, or hugging chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. They have to change clothes several times a day. If they make new clothes, they have to take them off after wearing them for less than two hours. What's the point of wearing new clothes? It's not for the New Year or the festival."

"Her brothers' clothes are all plain and gray, and they don't look good on two little girls. It's better for the two girls to wear colorful clothes."

"We really have a lot of money. We used to wear the same piece of clothing from the age of three to eight, and from eight to three..."

"Hey, don't always talk about the past. They buy clothes for their children, what does it have to do with you? They didn't ask you to wear them. You love to look pretty, and you wear leather shoes and flowery clothes every day, but you don't allow it. The children should dress up too."

"Can that be the same?"

"How is it different? No matter if a woman is 80 or , there is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Really, grandma? Yesterday you asked Qing to cut your hair, and you wanted it to look good. I saw you looking at yourself in the mirror for a long time."

The old lady quickly responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, the hair is too long. It will look better and more energetic if you cut it to the ears. You can also wear a black wig occasionally to cover the gray hair."

Mother Ye pursed her lips and said nothing.

After dinner, Ah Guang ran to the town and took Pei Yu with him, because the child was really close to him, so he took the child with him and asked her to go out for a walk and buy some food to bring back.

Even though he hadn't been home for more than half a month, he didn't skimp and bought a lot of snacks, enough for all the children in the Ye family. So when they came back in the evening, they were so happy to see each other that they all surrounded Pei Yu and praised her.

Pei Yu also smiled happily, revealing two rows of tiny teeth. A group of children gathered around the table and ate snacks together as if they were playing house.

Ye's father, who was watching from the side, joked that he should get them a set of lower tables and chairs so that they could play house from time to time.

"Sure, Dad. Just take a piece of wood and draw a circle. Then use a saw to saw it. Also, take some wood and make a few stools."

The older generation generally knows how to do simple and rough work, but if you want something more delicate, you have to find a carpenter.

"Why am I so free?"

"Do it when you have free time. I didn't ask you to do it now. Are there too many squids today?"

"There are quite a lot of them. The quantity has increased today. It should be a peak season in two days. The dock is also full of squid today."

Ah Guang also said, "I went to the county town this afternoon. The shipyard has already allocated some manpower to repair our boat as soon as possible. It should be ready in two or three days."

"That's good. You'll be idle at home these two days anyway, so just keep an eye on it."

The adults were talking at the door, and the other children were chattering. Suddenly, everyone heard a sigh and was immediately confused.

"Alas... this is the last meal..."

"What do you mean this is the last meal?"

"Brother must mean that this will be gone once we finish it. We'll have to go to bed when it gets dark. This is the last meal of the day."

"No, I'm talking about the last happy full meal. The suffering will begin at night..."

Ye Chenghe immediately shouted happily, "Yes, yes, we must go out to sea together to pick up squids..."

Ye Chengjiang's eyes were full of curiosity. "Is it really that miserable to go out to sea to pick up squids?"

"It's more than just miserable. You'll know after a few days. I'm hungry and sleepy, and I don't have anything to eat. I'm bored. I'm sunburned, and that's fine. But do you know what the key point is? The key point is that I have no money. I've worked hard for half a month, but it's all my mother's fault."

Father Ye glared at Ye Chenghai unhappily, "Are you obsessed with money? Help the family earn more money now. When you get married in a few years, your parents will have to pay for your wife. Otherwise, what will you use to marry a wife?"

“Can’t I just save it myself?”

"Can you save it up? You're 15 years old, and you still have a bunch of little human heads, paper beads, and pearls at home. Can you still marry a wife with these?"

"Hey! Don't tell me!"

Ye Chenghai instantly became excited and put his arm around Ye Chenghe's shoulder, "Chenghe, this idiot, actually managed to coax Chen Xiuni with this! We go to school together every day!"

"You are stupid."

Father Ye widened his eyes, "What? Chenghe has a girlfriend? Is this true? How old are you? How come it happened so quickly? You can't act like a hooligan. It will take a few years..."

"Hahahaha~"

"Hahaha, stop being a hooligan..."

"You are not allowed to laugh!"

Ye Chenghe's face flushed instantly, "I'm not being a hooligan, we go to school together and go home together after school."

"That's good. Wait until you graduate from middle school, then let your mother propose marriage. You are still young now, so Ah Hai should find a partner first. You don't have to rush, it's still early. Your father waited until he was 18 to get married."

"Hahahaha~"

"Don't laugh!"

"Just laugh!"

"If you laugh again, I will throw away all your little heads..."

"Then I'll tell Chen Xiuni that you wrote her name all over the last page of the book!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Yaodong almost died of laughter, "Oh my god, you are really good, Ye Chenghe, you are amazing, God closed a door for you, but unexpectedly opened a window for you."

Ah Guang also laughed and said, "Looks like we have to drink Chenghe's wedding wine first."

Ye Chenghe's face turned red all the way down to his neck. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to refute, so he could only force himself to make excuses.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are just classmates."

"I know, we know. As classmates, we all understand."

"I won't play with you anymore."

After saying that, he swept a few snacks on the table into his arms, put them in his clothes pocket and ran away.

"I...Ye Chenghe...don't run..."

Ye Chenghai was about to curse, but when he saw the elders standing nearby, he stopped and rushed out to chase him...

Ye Chengjiang also hurriedly chased after him, "Ye Chenghe, don't run, that belongs to everyone..."

Ye Chenghu and a few girls chased after him, unwilling to be left behind.

The yard suddenly became empty, leaving only Ye Chengyang, Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu staring at each other.

Ye Chengyang looked at the group of people running away with a bewildered look on his face, "Isn't there more on the table?"

"They are some idiots, leave them alone, the rest can be divided among the three of you."

Ye Chengyang immediately shared the snacks on the table with his two sisters with a smile on his face, and then put several pieces in front of each of them.

"They are all idiots. I am going to hide."

After saying that, he quickly hugged the things he had received in his arms and ran upstairs quickly.

Lin Xiuqing was still shouting from behind, asking him not to hide under the quilt.

In the next few days, Ye Yaodong followed his father out early and returned late every day to cast longline fish and catch squid at the same time. The harvest increased day by day, and the flood season reached its peak.

The village was filled with joy from morning till night. When people met and greeted each other, the first thing they asked was how much they had caught today, how many loads they had caught yesterday, and how much the squid was worth today.
Ah Guang listened to the discussion of the whole village and became so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters. He stayed in the shipyard every day, supervising them from morning till evening.

Finally, his supervision worked. The shipyard was annoyed by his constant watch on it, but they did not dare to delay. Originally, Ye Yaodong asked them to repair it within three to five days, but under A Guang's urging, they managed to complete it within three days and still made it in time for the flood season.

A Guang didn't have to call Dongzi to come and drive the boat. He simply tied the two boats together, towed one against the other, and towed them back in the evening after the repairs were completed.

Ye Yaodong and his father, who returned home exhausted in the evening, were very surprised. This meant that they had caught up with the peak season and their income would double starting tomorrow.

The father and son immediately discussed about calling two of the hired boatmen to come over to work. They had already let them take a week off, which was good enough. They, as the bosses, were still working very hard. They had spent money in the first place. Now that the big ship couldn't go, it was only right to call the small boat over to work as there was work.

It is to prevent unfairness. The two people have something to talk about. The four boatmen are asked to take turns going with the father and son in pairs, which is equivalent to letting the four of them work one day and rest one day.

Neither the father nor the son has had a day off yet.

After the two men had discussed it, Father Ye looked at A Guang again, "This boat just came back, there is nothing on it, it's empty. I guess your baskets were taken out to sea by your father. You can borrow some from Dongzi later. Take as many as you need. Go to Dongzi's workshop and get two hand-cast nets and scoop nets. He happened to have made several a few days ago and put them there. Do you have any more?"

"it is good."

"It may not be convenient for you to call anyone at this moment. Do you want me to ask one of my younger brothers to go with you?" Ye Yaodong also said.

"No, I can just bring Aunt Ma's eldest son next door. The boy is sixteen or seventeen years old and can go out to work with us."

"That's okay too."

Father Ye also said: "Your father went out to sea for many days this time, and he hasn't come back in a week."

"I don't know either. I'm also waiting for him to come back. I guess it's the squid season now. We can still catch some in the open sea. If we get a good catch, he might not want to come back."

“Too hard.”

……

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

They were sitting together after dinner, discussing tomorrow's voyage, when they heard their younger brother running over to say that the Harvest had returned.

Several people immediately stood up and walked out, looking at the sea. Sure enough, there was a ship's light shining on the sea, which was particularly conspicuous. They hurried to the dock to help receive the goods.

Father Pei was also a little surprised to see A Guang, but he didn't say much. He just directed people to move and unload the goods.

The workshop started to get busy after nightfall. As the weather was getting hot, it was not suitable to keep so many goods for a long time. So that night Lin Xiuqing called the idle women in the village to come and take care of it.

After unloading the goods, Pei's father also asked them to go home to settle the accounts. Today was exactly the 30th, and knowing that it was the flood season recently, none of them would be free during the day the next day.

The profits from Fengshouhao this month were exceptionally good. Last month, each share received a little over 500 yuan, and this month, each share received nearly 600 yuan. All those who received a share of the profits were delighted.

Father Ye also began to feel that the Harvest was taking advantage of Dongzi. Every time something good appeared, Dongzi took the lion's share, and the Harvest followed behind and also got a taste of the spoils, so that it made a lot of money again this month.

It seems incredible just by listening to it, and makes people feel that this money is too easy to make. In fact, it is not so easy for others to make money. This kind of money has a lot to do with changing luck.

Ye Yaodong got another 1700 yuan, took it home happily, and asked Lin Xiuqing to keep track of the account again. Together with the accounts of the three small boats a few days ago, he got more than 700 yuan, which meant that the profit of the fishing boats this month was 2500 yuan.

In addition to the two payments of more than 7000 yuan for goods received by the workshop this month, and the 2 yuan that Dongshenghao received a few days ago, the net profit this month was more than 3 yuan, almost 4 yuan, and the family’s savings also directly exceeded 10 yuan.

He happily approached Lin Xiuqing and watched her keep accounts. "I am awesome, right? It has only been a few years and our family has surpassed the 10 yuan household mark, and immediately surpassed the yuan household mark."

"Yes, yes, you are awesome, you are really great, you are already a famous boss."

"That's right. In a few years, we will all be millionaires. And we will all be millionaires with millions in cash. Wow, I'm so awesome."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glanced at him, "That's a nice thought. You're just counting the money you haven't earned all day long and then being happy first."

"Of course, it's free to be happy in advance."

"When this squid season is over, we can probably make a few thousand dollars again."

"Yes, it just so happens that the Harvest returned just in time tonight. I'll have someone deal with this batch of goods brought by the Harvest overnight and tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to bring back all the squids to dry in the sun, just in time for the sun to shine recently."

"Are you going to keep all the goods from the two ships at home?"

"No, there are four boats, including the two boats of my eldest cousin and brother Asheng. They are also kept back to dry. After their goods are landed, they will be taken to Acai to be weighed and then sent to the workshop."

"Since the price has already dropped today, I will start to display more tomorrow. When the market is close to the end, I will collect all the goods from my eldest and second brothers and store some there."

"The four boats only hold about 4 to 1 kilograms of dried goods, and we can only dry about to kilograms a day, which is not much. If we store kilograms of dried goods there, we should be able to sell them until the New Year."

Ye Yaodong just told her about the plan, and he would go out and explain it to his eldest cousin and Brother Asheng later.

"It's up to you. If you want to keep it for drying, then keep it for drying. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of tomorrow's goods being processed and connected. Besides, the Harvest is expected to go out to sea again tomorrow and won't be back for nearly a week. The idle workshop can be used to arrange it."

Lin Xiuqing now controls so much of the family property that she has begun to trust his arrangements wholeheartedly. She will do whatever he says.

"Okay, if I save 10 this year, I will definitely save 20 next year!"

"How can it be that fast?"

"It will be that fast. After we get the freshwater ship and the ship that we three brothers are jointly owning next year, the speed at which we make money will definitely double. I estimate that in less than five years, and even before the 5s, your husband and I will definitely have a million in savings."

"You are so beautiful, you only think so beautifully."

"Honestly, I'm not dreaming. Everything I said is very possible."

"Wait until you've earned enough money, then go do your own thing. I'll also go to the workshop and watch them work."

Ye Yaodong walked behind, closed the door slowly, and told the old lady to look after the house and he would be back soon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard his eldest brother's roar and his eldest sister-in-law's argument.

"Every day, you think what you think. You didn't learn your lesson after suffering a loss. Now you are still complaining. You didn't form a partnership at that time, but now they have divided the money. Why are you complaining? What is there to be jealous about?"

"Who knew it would be like this? I was just saying it, why are you so angry..."

"Stop nagging me. I'm tired from working all day long. And when I get home I have to listen to you complaining. Just live your life well. Our life is no worse than others. Why are you complaining?"

"You're speaking more quietly because you're afraid others won't hear you, right?"

"You're afraid of being embarrassed, so just shut up."

"I'm discussing the shop with you..."

"There's nothing to discuss. We've already said it two days ago. They have it in their hands, and so do we."

"But if I sell it and buy a boat, I can earn 2000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to what other people earn in a year..."

"What do you know? You've already agreed, and you want to go back on your word. How will others see you? Don't make things difficult for Dongzi and his wife. Just be quiet. I'm going to sleep. If you keep making noise, go out and sleep by yourself. Don't come into the room..."

Ye Yaodong stood at the door and listened to what happened. His second brother and his wife were also standing at the door. His second sister-in-law even tilted her head towards the window, but was pulled back by his second brother. After she stopped moving, she smiled at him and was willing to go into the house.

It's all about money. He probably heard his second sister-in-law bragging about the money she got today, so he brought up the old matter again to make him feel upset.

He ignored them and continued walking towards the village.

It was not too late yet, and the weather had warmed up again. People were standing everywhere, chatting in groups of three or four, and children were running and laughing.

When the weather gets hotter, more people will sit outside to enjoy the cool air and feed mosquitoes.

He first went to his eldest cousin's house, and then went to Brother Asheng's house, but unfortunately he met his second aunt again. She pulled Brother Asheng at the door and slandered the new daughter-in-law, saying bad things about her.

As soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up and she immediately ran up to him and pulled him.

"Dongzi, why are you here? Come in and sit down. I heard that A Guang helped you sail a boat back tonight. Is that true?"

"Has it spread so fast?"

"Oh, someone saw it at the dock, and everyone in the village knew about it in one go. They said you two caught one each, and you're going to make a lot of money again."

"Ah."

After Ye Yaodong responded casually, he told Brother A Sheng that he would bring back all the goods to dry tomorrow.

Although my younger brother will go to collect it tomorrow, he still has to let me know in advance.

"You want to dry this again? How much will it sell for? This squid is very expensive, so it must sell for a lot of money? How much money do you make from dried fish now?"

"I don't know. I didn't care. You have to ask Ah Qing. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Hey, wait a minute..." Aunt Ye Er immediately stopped him, "You have two more boats for no reason these days. Are you going to rent them out again? When the big boat is repaired, you should go back to drive the big boat, right?"

Ye Yaodong frowned and said unhappily, "Is there something stuck in my head? Why don't I make money during the flood season and rent out the boat?"

"No, I mean, after the flood season is over, you should rent these two boats again, right?"

"It has already been rented to someone, so you don't have to worry about it. If you have the time, I think it would be better for you to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha more. Instead of believing in those immortals, you might as well pray to Mazu and pray that Brother Sheng will make more money and give birth to a son in a few months. This is probably more effective than praying to immortals or immortals."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he pulled out his second aunt's sleeve and walked out.

Aunt Ye Er was still not giving up and chased after him, trying to pull him back, but was stopped by Brother A Sheng. "Mom, I think what Dongzi said makes sense. You should stop running to those immortals and giving money there. It would be more effective if you go to worship Mazu. Who doesn't believe in Mazu and worship those immortals all day long?"

"What do you know? Those fairies can let the gods possess their bodies, and they can get whatever you ask... They are very powerful..."

"I think you should learn from your grandma and worship Mazu Bodhisattva more often. Look at Dongzi, his grandma must be praying to Mazu Bodhisattva to bless him every day..."

"The old man is so partial to me that he goes right down to his armpits..."

Ye Yaosheng felt that he couldn't convince his mother, so he went straight into the house, locked the door and didn't let her in.

As Ye Yaodong walked home, he was thinking, to whom should he rent the remaining two boats?
When it comes to renting, relatives will definitely be given priority. He has several cousins. He can ask his father later. It is also okay to rent it to uncles and aunts who are good friends with his father. It is better to decide early to avoid everyone having the same idea.

The squid season makes the whole village lively, and everywhere you look is a busy and prosperous scene. From the second day after adding a boat, his workshop also started to light the lights all night and rest during the day.

Five to six thousand squids have to be slaughtered every night. However, all you have to do is cut the squids with scissors, take out their stomachs, and spread them out to dry. It is much easier than killing fish, so you don't need a lot of manpower, and everyone only has to work until midnight and then go back to sleep.

It was also on the next morning that A Guang sent Pei Yu to accompany Ye Xiaoxi, and then went out to the sea with them. As they walked and talked, he learned that Old Man Wang had come to their house again last night.

As a result, A Guang gave him a scolding with a dark face and kicked him out.

Then he advised his father to find a partner, saying that the aunt next door was a good choice because she knew him well and would not make people laugh at her.

"So what did your father say?"

"My father said it's okay, but he's been too busy recently. After the flood season, when everyone is free, we can ask Aunt Ma to call back her two married daughters, and we can have a meal together, and then we can settle the matter. Now is not the time to talk about this as we are so busy all day long."

Father Ye nodded, "That's right. Your father is a man of plans. He has already planned this in his mind, but he didn't feel comfortable shouting it out now. After all, the matter has not been completed yet. If he tells others about it, if something unexpected happens, it will only cause more trouble."

"Yes, he said he had an idea in mind. He knew it, and I didn't need to say anything. He would definitely not bring my friend's ex-wife back to embarrass me. He would be embarrassed if I told anyone. There's no need to tell anyone about this. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it."

"That woman's reputation should be even worse. She just got divorced and now she wants to find a rich old man who is the father of her ex-husband's friend."

"Let her die."

"Has anyone come to you to ask about renting a boat?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.

"Yes, I had just returned from the boat yesterday when someone came to my door. I sent him away immediately. I have to wait until the flood season is over."

"It's better to settle it early when your father comes back next time to save trouble and have an excuse to send him away."

"Ah."

What surprised them was that there were so many shameless people.

When the flood season was almost over, the family to which A Guang's eldest sister was engaged actually came to the door with a thick face, saying that they wanted to repair the relationship and renew the engagement.

He just took the stick and hit him out.

As a result, I didn't expect that he would come to the door shamelessly the next day and say that he wanted to rent a boat and let A Guang have the final say on how to rent it or even buy it.

He continued to hit them with the stick and spat at them several times.

Then on the third day they even came to threaten them, saying that they should either get married again or rent the boat to them and they would promise to follow the rules, otherwise they would spread the news throughout the village that his eldest sister had been slept with.

This completely pissed off Ah Guang, and he didn't let the person leave the house that day. He broke his legs and made him lie at the door with a bleeding head. No one was allowed to lift him or move him.

Because the flood season had not yet ended, he went out early and came back late. In order to block him, they specifically went to his house early in the morning. If the neighbors hadn't stopped him, he would have been beaten to death.

But he said not to move, and no one dared to touch the father and son lying on the ground.

Afraid that the other person would not die and would gossip about him and bite him back, he explained the whole story first, gave him a preventive measure in advance, and could also reduce the damage in advance.

After hearing his story, the villagers all despised the father and son lying on the ground. No one interfered anymore and thought they deserved to be beaten to death, so they just let them lie on the ground.

But they couldn't just let someone die like that, so those who knew the family ran to report the news. After all, when the two families were going to get married, there was an acquaintance who introduced them, and they went back and forth between villages, so there were quite a few relatives.

Early in the morning, the news began to spread slowly in a small circle in the village.

Ye Yaodong and his father had already arrived at the dock, ready to board the boat, but they happened to hear the discussions of other fishermen. The two looked at each other and decided to go and take a look. It would not be a big problem to postpone the going out to sea for two hours.

By the time they got there, there was already a large crowd gathered at the door, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside, all pointing and talking.

When they squeezed in, they saw Ah Guang sitting on the steps at the door, holding a stick in his hand and looking ferocious, as if he would hit anyone who came close.

His two sisters stood by, one was still holding Pei Yu, and the other had red eyes.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father couldn't help but feel lucky at this moment. Fortunately, they didn't do trawling. They only pulled in and released the longline fishing. They didn't have to go out at night and could go out in the morning, so they could still stand here at this time.

After he squeezed into the crowd, he kicked the person lying on the ground who couldn't even scream, and then said to his two older sisters, "Take Xiaoyu to my house first, don't scare the child."

A Guang's complexion looked a little better. He asked his sister to take the child over first. There would be more noise when the whole family arrived.

But of the two sisters, only the younger one took the child away first, while the older one remained standing.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Ah."

Ah Guang recounted the plans that the two father and son had made over the past three days regarding their successive visits to his house, and also mentioned the root cause of today's breach of defense.

"Should!"

"Then he really deserves to be beaten to death."

"Can you just make up something like this? Will the girl still be able to be a human being in the future?"

"Yes, I heard that they have reunited and are just waiting to set a date. This is intentional sabotage, and they think their life is getting better and better."

"What kind of person is this? A beast..."

After hearing the whole story, Ye Yaodong also felt that they deserved to be beaten to death. It was simply unjust to not allow those who were seeking death to die.

"It's a good thing I called off the engagement last year so I knew his true colors earlier. Otherwise, I would have suffered more in the future. I borrowed that boat last year, so I can consider the money I lost as buying a happy life for the rest of my life."

"Ah."

"Are these two dead?" After hearing the rumors in the village, Ye's mother also ran over in a hurry.

Several village cadres and several women from the Women's Federation also came over. They all pointed at the two people on the ground and repeated to them what had happened.

Everyone felt that they deserved it, but they couldn't say it out loud. They just said that they shouldn't beat someone to death.

Secretary Chen also squatted down to feel the man to see if he was still breathing. Only after he felt that he was still breathing did he relax.

As long as no one is beaten to death, everything is fine.

"They are going too far. They are bullying you because your father is not at home and you are the only man in your family. This is too much bullying. A girl's reputation is so important, and she is going to get married soon."

"That's why you're so vicious. You thought you could marry me if you ruined my sister's reputation. Bah! I'll support her for her whole life, and I can't let a toad like you ruin her. If I hear any rumors, I'll break your third leg."

The young man lying on the ground shuddered, then cried out in pain, and no one knew when he woke up.

At this moment, a large group of this family came over from the main road with weapons in hand and in a menacing manner. A Guang's house was originally on the main road and there was no obstruction at all. Everyone turned around and saw them from afar.

"What the hell? Twenty or thirty people? What are they doing? They are clearly in the wrong, yet they still dare to act like this. Are they bullying our village because there is no one there? They came here blatantly with a bunch of guys. Are they bullying Guang because he has few men in his family, or because he lives next to the road? The villagers don't know, right?"

As soon as Ye Yaodong finished shouting, Ye's father also hurriedly shouted, "Fellow villagers, please help us. They are clearly in the wrong. We can't watch our own villagers being bullied by people from other villages..."

"That's right. They are bullying our village because there is no one left. It's fine if two of them come to provoke us, but now a large group of them are armed. Do they think that no one in the village knows?"

"Everyone, grab your weapons, or you'll get into trouble later. We can eat anything in this life, but we can't get into trouble!"

Ye's mother also patted the youngest son of Ma Lifang's family next to her and said, "Go to the village and call for help..."

The half-grown boy ran away like a loach.

The villagers who lived nearby also ran back home to get shoulder poles, sticks, brooms, and all the useful tools in their homes, and then distributed them to others.

The village committee members saw that everyone was ready to have a bloody fight before they even met each other, so the village chief immediately stopped them.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's talk to them first, first politely then use force, first politely then use force, after knowing what happened, if they still dare to make trouble, we will beat them up."

Secretary Chen quickly followed suit, "Yes, let's reason with them first. If reason doesn't work, then we can beat them up. We can't let people from other villages run into our village and cause trouble."

"Okay, let's wait a while..."

"Then wait..."

Everyone stood on the road with weapons in hand, staring at the newcomers. The newcomers were also very aggressive and started spraying people as soon as they opened their mouths.

"I heard that people from your village beat my uncle and my cousin half to death!"

"Give us an explanation, otherwise, I am not someone who can be bullied."

"That's right, give us an explanation, or we'll make things difficult for you. We're not the kind of people who are afraid of trouble."

Ah Guang carried the bloody stick on his shoulder and sneered, "You are not afraid of trouble, and neither am I. Those two bastards deserve to be beaten to death. If the villagers hadn't stopped me, I would have let them go to hell long ago."

"Don't be so arrogant. How dare you hit our family members..."

"We have to be reasonable. These two were the ones who were in the wrong first..."

Secretary Chen quickly interrupted them as they pointed their sticks at each other and made threats.

Before I even started saying a few words, they started pointing weapons at me. If I didn't stop them, they would just start fighting without even saying a word.

He quickly recounted what he had just heard and the cause of the incident. During the whole process, A Guang did not say a word, but just stared at the other group of people.

After hearing what Secretary Chen said, the other side was silent for a while, but the old woman inside pushed through the crowd and jumped out, shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Don't listen to him, they are just making it up. We just wanted to rent a boat, but we were beaten. Who wants that broken woman? Who knows who she slept with? My son..."

Ah Guang held the stick in his hand and poked the woman's nose and mouth directly, pushing her whole body backwards.

Ye Yaodong took A Guang's carrying pole and hit the old woman in the face, even knocking her head off balance.

The war was about to break out, and the two sides cursed each other's ancestors and started fighting.

There was still room for a friendly conversation, but an old woman with a foul mouth jumped out and directly annoyed A Guang, and a melee broke out right away.

The women on both sides also withdrew from their melee and aimed at the opposite side.

Ye's mother also rushed forward and grabbed the hair of the old woman who had just been slandered, scratching and pinching her.

Because in the area around their own village, the men may have gone out to sea, but most of the women are still at home. What's more, which rural woman doesn't like to watch the fun? The farce in front of A Guang's house in the morning had already attracted a large number of women, more than men.

This group of women simply crushed the other three or five women and beat them up, and half of them were able to grab weapons to help the men fight.

Although the other side seemed to have more men, they were not at an advantage in terms of numbers, and the fight was fairly evenly matched.

But after a while, Aunt Ma's youngest son came running over with a group of villagers holding weapons, shouting and cursing as they ran.

When the people from other villages were halfway through the fight, they turned around and saw that there were people twice their size rushing towards them with weapons in their hands. They all became frightened.

Originally they brought their weapons here to give themselves courage and just in case, but the main reason was that they wanted to ask for an explanation and take the person away.

So when I first came over, I directly asked A Guang and the others to give an explanation first. Who knew that they started fighting as soon as they disagreed, without even saying a few words.

"Back, back, back, back, there are so many people..."

"Run, run, run quickly..."

"so many people……"

"Hurry up and go first..."

The group of people, who were originally evenly matched, immediately became chaotic. As a result, they could only be beaten. They ran in opposite directions while fighting.

Before the villagers could get close, they had already disappeared, and several shoes were lost.

"Run away now?"

“Isn’t this too useless?”

"You run faster than a rabbit, and you dare to run into our village and cause trouble?"

"The most hateful thing is this old woman, she's always talking shit. No wonder her whole family is not good people. The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Whoever gets involved in their family will be unlucky for eight lifetimes..." Ye's mother even sat on the old woman and slapped her in the face.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me..."

"Don't hit me? I'm going to hit you. Do you eat shit every day? And you talk so stinky!"

Ye Yaodong came over and smiled as he looked at the women lying on the ground. "The men all ran away, but the women stayed. I guess they are all families. They just happened to be together with those two, and the family was reunited."

"Drag them together. There will definitely be more people coming later."

"Come again?" Ye's mother was surprised, "Aren't they afraid of death?"

"This whole family is still lying here. They will definitely come again. Otherwise, how can we drag them back?"

"Then let's wait here and see when they come."

Father Ye also said to the village chief and the secretary: "I'd like to trouble you not to leave yet and help hold the fort here. Otherwise, if more people come later, we will be bullied to death. We can't let them be arrogant and come to our village to cause trouble."

"Okay, we'll wait here first, but you have to listen to me. Don't be so impulsive, especially Guang..."

"How can you blame A Guang for this? It's obviously this old woman who is full of shit. Otherwise, everyone could have talked peacefully and there wouldn't have been a fight. This bitch, this old witch, must have been the one who spread the father and son to take advantage of her, otherwise, what happened today wouldn't have happened..." Mother Ye kicked twice as she spoke.
