After the two separated, they went home.
Mother Ye had already left, but the two brothers felt uneasy and had been sitting at the door, craning their necks and looking at the intersection, waiting for him to come back.
As soon as they saw Ye Yaodong, the two brothers and the two sisters-in-law came over to greet him.
"Dongzi, how are you?"
"Dongzi, what should I say? Is something okay?"
Ye Yaodong took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to them, "It's fine for the moment. I'll keep the letter here. I'll just burn it later. I don't know who this anonymous person is, but he's a sinister and evil person."
"Anyway, if we behave upright and sit upright, the whole village can prove that we are just ordinary fishermen. There is no need to worry. Secretary Chen also said so."
"That's good, that's good."
The two brothers were both honest fishermen. They were frightened to death when they heard the report. After being comforted by this, they relaxed and felt more at ease.
Second Sister-in-law Ye said fiercely: "It must be someone in the village who reported the pink eye disease. The black-hearted dogs are all in the same village. They look up and don't look down, but they are so cruel. They cursed his whole family for 18 generations and they don't know how they died..."
Ye Yaopeng frowned and sighed, "I was really too high-profile when I came back two days ago. I made a lot of money and sold a lot of things. Many people were jealous, and some people had dark hearts.
You just can’t see others being better than you.”
"You have to keep a low profile. You can't be so high-profile in the future and attract people's envy." Ye Yaohua was also a little scared.
"You shouldn't sell it at home. You can just take a cart and drag it to the alleys in town to sell it. Nothing may happen. On the surface, you are friendly, but behind the scenes, people don't want to look after others."
After all, everyone has experienced those dark years. In those years, reporting was still advocated, and many people rose to power by reporting.
"Okay, anyway, I got the report letter back. From now on, just keep a low profile and do your duty. The village committee will not allow this kind of random reporting. I will burn it."
After speaking, Ye Yaodong took back the report letter, walked home, sat in front of the stove, struck a match, and lit the paper.
The old lady was worried and had been chanting sutras at the door with her prayer beads. Now she followed him into the house and asked with concern: "Are you okay, Dongzi?"
"It's okay. It's just a trivial matter. It's just a small report letter. Not to mention that it has been intercepted, even if it has been sent, we are not afraid."
He watched the small flames above burn bigger and bigger, almost burning his fingers, before he threw it into the stove.
Ah Qing also came out of the house with her child in her arms, "Who is so wicked? Can we find out? Isn't it more uncomfortable for these people to watch others make money than to lose money themselves?"
Ye Yaodong took the child from her hand, held it in his arms and patted it comfortingly, "There are such people everywhere. They are all anonymous and there is no way to check them. That's it. Let's keep a low profile in the future."
"Then I need to tell my mother. We live by the beach and there are few people. It's quite low-key in the first place."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong originally thought that this matter had been revealed. Unexpectedly, the next day, the village was in an uproar, and there was a major rumor that someone had reported him for smuggling? And Lin Ji had not been involved in anything?
Now he felt that it was his mother's fault!
Yesterday, he hurried over to say that someone had reported him for smuggling. When the neighbors came over out of curiosity, his mother and two sisters-in-law told them that it would be weird if they didn't spread the news.
Damn, this loudspeaker really needs to be warned.
However, not many people believed in the legend. He usually went out early in the morning and came back late to fish, which was obvious to all the villagers. Within three days, everyone was distracted by other new things, and this one
The incident was extremely sensational.
Ye Yaodong had just returned from the sea. As soon as he arrived at the dock, he heard that Xu Laifu in the village had offended someone again. He was found missing a wrist this morning, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and lay half-dead on the roadside at the entrance of the village.
People on the dock were talking a lot. They had been talking for a whole day and they were still talking.
Workers working at the nearby Mazu Temple were also talking enthusiastically there, and this topic was everywhere.
"I don't know who I offended, but my whole wrist was cut off. It will be difficult to get married from now on..."
"Did you owe gambling debts outside and have no money to repay them? So someone cut off your hand? I heard that the moneylenders outside don't take human lives as their own..."
"Isn't this too tragic? People have their fingers chopped off if they don't pay their gambling debts, but his wrists were chopped off..."
"Is it possible that he was caught stealing something? So his hand was cut off? He is a habitual criminal..."
"Sigh... It's hard to say, it's hard to say. This guy needs to be more honest and responsible, otherwise he will bring disaster to the family all at once."
"I heard that their family is in chaos. The brothers and sisters in the family are separated and they don't have any money to help. My father and mother can't pay back the money they borrowed from everywhere. Their family has such a bad reputation and poor popularity. Who is going to lend them money?
"
"It looks quite miserable..."
"Who told them that their family didn't do human affairs before? They are more popular in the village and everyone can help them..."
"It's so scary to cut people's wrists at every turn. I don't know who I offended?"
…
As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others came back, they didn't need to ask around. They could get a rough idea of ​​what was coming from their ears.
He gasped and couldn't help but touch his wrist. Fortunately, it was still there...
Fortunately, he doesn't gamble...
This incident caused a sensation in the village for several days, with people talking about it every day, and many adults used this incident to educate the younger boys at home.
What Ye Yaodong wants to say is that in about ten years, when the Young and Dangerous movie series comes out, all young people today will go crazy.
However, after waiting for many days, Ye Yaodong took advantage of the strong wind and waves and could not go to sea. He took the time to go to the town to sell tapes. He met Lin Jishang and listened to the people around him talking about it. Only then did he know that he saw them on the street that night.
The man at the pier is Xu Laifu.
I stay up late at night every day and hang out with other people until I get home late at night. I also often wander outside late at night. I don't know if I'm doing some sneaky things.
When he asked about Xu Laifu's hand, they denied it and refused to admit it.
Ye Yaodong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just said hello and left.
It's scary. It's better to keep these people at a distance. People like Lin Jishang are still only suitable for casual acquaintances, not deep friendships. He is just an ordinary person.
After he returned, he said nothing and never mentioned it to anyone.
The letter reporting him and Lin Ji was written by Xu Laifu, but the letter reporting him alone is unknown who wrote it.
Lin Xiuqing was very happy when she saw that all the remaining tapes at home had been emptied. She was worried that Ye Yaodong would have another idea and buy another tape recorder to listen to these tapes.
He is already very skilled at doing what he says as soon as it comes out, buying when he says to buy, cutting first and then playing. Fortunately, he has no idea of ​​buying a tape recorder.
She stood at the table and counted the money, with a bright smile on her face, "I think it's been more than half a month, and the tapes are still piled up at home. I thought you would buy a tape recorder..."
Ye Yaodong crossed his legs and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "You want it? Then I'll buy one for you..."
"Don't……"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, "I don't want it, I don't want it at all. Don't buy it. If you do, I'll fall out with you. We already have a radio at home, so what's the point of buying a tape recorder? I'm busy taking care of the kids all day long.
, the radio the old lady plays is enough for me to listen to, how many ears do I have that I can listen to separately?"
Seeing her reaction, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but want to tease her, "Then I can buy a TV? You can watch this with your eyes. Four hundred yuan is almost enough..."
She rolled her eyes, "Nervous, I just said you should be low-key and buy a TV, don't you deserve to be scolded? Also, what do you mean, 400 yuan is enough? You are talking about such a wealthy person, and ordinary people can earn it for several months.
If I didn’t know, I would have thought you were some kind of boss.”
"The boss is not a boss, but he has made money, so he should reward himself. My ears have enjoyed it, but my eyes haven't yet, so it's not that I can't afford it."
"Then since your eyes have enjoyed it, do you need to make arrangements for your body to enjoy it too?"
Ye Yaodong glanced around and saw that there was no one else in the room, including the old lady, so he stood up and hugged her from behind, and said with a smile: "Do you have any plans?"
"Arrange your head, arrange it, go away..."
"If you don't let me go, you will turn your back on me after you take the money. If I had known, I would have paid you later."
"Why did you turn your back on me and not recognize anyone? In broad daylight, hugging each other, what does it look like?"
Lin Xiuqing twisted her body, unable to move her elbows or break away, so she had to lean forward and push her butt behind, trying to push him away.
However, Ye Yaodong moved his waist forward in an arrogant manner and pushed her directly onto the table. Lin Xiuqing's face turned red instantly, she put her hands on the table, turned her head and glared at him angrily, and lowered her voice.
"What are you doing? Rogue!"
"Why am I a gangster? Go back on me, what's wrong? It was you who pushed me with your butt in the air, and you asked the evil person to complain first and bite me back. If you want to be a gangster, you are also a gangster, you female gangster."
He patted her round butt.
Lin Xiuqing was angry, funny, and a little embarrassed. She couldn't turn around, so she could only push him back with one hand, "You shameless person, walk away. What does it look like? The kids will bump into you later..."
Ye Yaodong turned the hand she extended behind her and pressed it, "They were playing at the beach and didn't even want to go home."
"What are you doing?"
"Catch you. If you dare to act like a gangster, I will have to interrogate you."
He grabbed her other hand that was on the table, turned it behind her, and snatched all the banknotes in her hand, then folded and rolled it with one hand and moved it toward her chest.
Stuffed it in.
“That’s the right place to put it!”
"Ye Yaodong!"
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and glared at him in anger. If his hands hadn't been tied behind her back, she would have beaten him to death!
"Here! Don't get excited. I'll give you a chance to fight to the death when I enter the house later."
Lin Xiuqing was really angry and funny by his behavior, and was even pushed into the house by him.
"What kind of trouble are you going to make? Let me go quickly, we're going to cook dinner soon..."
"It's still early..."
Chapter completed!
