Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1085 Breach of Contract

Everyone has to be responsible for their own decisions. He has said what he should say, and the rest of the decision is up to them.

If you still want to take risks and make big money, then go with them. If you want to take a small boat, then go with it. But for the rest, he doesn't care. He has a lot of boats and people, which is also obvious to all.

"You can also discuss with your family when you go back. It's okay not to go with you this year. Be conservative. Anyway, you made a lot more money last year. And Xiaoxiao, your wife hasn't given birth yet, and you don't know when she will give birth. You have to watch the child being born anyway."

"You are not leaving right away. Today is only the 20th, the 24th or the 25th? It's not the end of the month yet, and it's still early to next month. Why are you in a hurry?"

A Zheng also echoed, "Yes, there is no hurry yet. Why are you in a hurry? Aren't there still many days to buffer? Let's see in a few days."

"Yeah."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were still sitting on the side listening to them. They listened for a long time and hesitated for a long time, and they didn't dare to speak.

Ye Yaodong also noticed it, and turned to talk to his elder and second brothers, asking them to consider whether they should go or not, and to think more carefully about what might happen if they brought others with them.

Both of them nodded like crazy, and they regretted it.

Now, let alone bringing people with them, listening to what Dongzi said just now and what everyone was talking about, even they themselves felt that bloodshed was likely to happen.

"We'll think about it later."

"Dongzi, since you think it's dangerous, why do you still go? And you hired so many boatmen?"

Ye Yaodong raised his chin towards the people sitting in the yard, "So many people are waiting and want to go with me. If I say I won't go at the last minute, won't everyone's desire to make a fortune be broken?"

Without a leader, everyone would be unsure if they let others take over.

He was the leader from the beginning, and everyone must have recognized him. Even if he said he was only responsible for his own people and didn't care about others, they would feel more at ease if they could follow him.

"Don't look at what I just said about the difficulty of this trip, but those who have tasted the sweetness will definitely want to take another chance. Moreover, those who only earned wages last year and rented a boat this year must think that they missed last year, so they will definitely want to take a gamble this year."

"What I just said can only suppress the thoughts of those who want to take a small wooden boat. Most of the people who should go will still go. After all, the situations mentioned are just hypothetical. Who knows if they will be lucky?"

"Who would hope that something bad would happen? They must think in a positive direction. After fishing in the trench for a few days, they think they have made enough money, so they will not go out to sea, and directly find a few people to go back together. Isn't this possible?"

"If you make a lot of money, just run away. They just said that..." Ah Zheng interrupted.

"So, those who should follow will still follow. They all think that wealth and honor can be sought in danger. They all think that they can grasp it. They are not greedy. They will stop when they make enough money and come back early."

Several people also thought it made sense. Most people think that it is impossible for them to die.

Xiaoxiao also agreed, "Yes, if you count them, there are dozens of people in our village, plus hundreds of people in the town. How could they not come back? In a normal group fight, only a few people will die. Everyone thinks that they can't be so unlucky."

"Yes, everyone has a lucky heart."

A Zheng also said: "But if you take them, you can't take those small boats. There may not be much profit. If you take them, you have to take care of them all the way, and you have to escort them and let them make money. Why? It's a big loss."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua nodded repeatedly. They also felt that they had lost a lot of money. They were too careless. They were stimulated by Dongzi's ten boats.

Dongzi's boat was his own, and all the money he earned went into his pocket. It was different from them. They took the least money and took the biggest responsibility. The money was earned for others.

Who knows, after taking them away, they might also take away some of their money. What are they looking for? For excitement?

The yard was also in a mess, with a lot of noise, all kinds of discussions, discussing whether to go, discussing how likely the situation just described is to occur, and how to deal with it, but no one discussed whether to bring a boat.

The yard was also in a mess, surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside, and people from the village came over one after another to join in the discussion.

"Then Adong, you just said so much, but you haven't said when we will set off if we are going?"

"Yes, when will we set off?"

"Last year it was mid-July, I don't know this year. A Guang also called some time ago and contacted them, saying that there were no more. Occasionally I saw a few, but they couldn't sell them at a high price. The factories were not open. But I will probably go there in advance. After all, I have a lot of manpower, so I must go there in advance to settle them."

Next, A Guang will have to ask more every now and then. If a factory starts working, they will go there in advance.

Generally, the news between factories is relatively fast. If there is a factory preparing to start working, it will basically prepare three to five days in advance, and other factories will also know about it. After all, they need to recruit people and arrange for the receipt of goods.

"So it should be around the beginning of the month, so we have to go there and settle down in advance, so that there won't be a lot of people and it will be hard to find a house. Last year, we had to sleep in the wilderness, and then it rained heavily, which was embarrassing and tiring."

"Anyway, if you plan to go, it's definitely right to prepare in advance. But you really have to be mentally prepared, I'm not talking nonsense." Ye Yaodong emphasized again.

"We know this, we will discuss it..."

Some people asked curiously: "So, Adong, how many boats did you order? Everyone said that you ordered a lot of boats to bring over, so you hired more than ten or twenty workers."

"I hired them in advance in case I can't find any help at the last minute. We'll see how many boats we can bring when the time comes. After all, they are our own boats. We don't know the progress of the boats now. I have to ask in the next two days."

He just perfunctorily evaded the question. It was none of their business how many boats he had to bring, and he wouldn't bother anyone else.

If he brought a large group of people, he might be safer because he would have more people and more power. Anyway, the people he invited would definitely listen to him.

Father Ye also smiled and said to everyone: "Tonight is considered a meeting, and everyone has a clear idea. Now there is probably more than a week left. You all go back and discuss it."

"Okay, okay, let's all go back and discuss it and see."

"Oh... it's not easy to do..."

"Then if you plan to leave on a certain date, you must tell me in advance?"

"Yes, yes, I will tell you when I leave. You can follow me if you want. I made enough money last year, and it's not bad to stay at home and enjoy it this year."

"How can you make enough money? And enjoy it... You still have to work. You are born to work hard, how can you enjoy it?"

"Yes, you work everywhere..."

"Go back first, go back and think about it."

...

Everyone stood up one after another, gathered in groups of three or two, and walked out while discussing.

Even the women of the villagers who were waiting at the door to watch the excitement surrounded the familiar ones or their own family members. They were reluctant to leave immediately, and stood at the door and started a new round of heated discussions.

Ye Yaodong sat there without moving, and the people around him didn't move either.

Xiaoxiao was still there saying, "A Guang's wife has given birth, but my wife hasn't given birth for a long time. She's been waiting for a long time, and I'm getting anxious. He gave birth to two sons at once. Please don't give my share to him, Guanyin."

"That's hard to say."

Father Ye also looked at Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua at this time, "You two should think about it yourself and see if you want to take the boats of your second uncle's brothers on board."

"I can't take care of Dad. It's too troublesome and exhausting. I can't make much money. We can't take care of ourselves, and we don't have the energy to take care of them."

"Yes, we will go to their house later to talk to them. We will give up the original agreement. If they are angry, they will be angry. There is nothing we can do about it. We didn't think about it carefully at the beginning."

Father Ye nodded, "Yeah, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of others? What's more, you also invited a few people on the ship. Tell them not to take risks with you, and give them Dongzi's analysis tonight. Let’s talk about it, don’t just think about how everyone made a lot of money last year and just be jealous and want to get a share of the pie regardless.”

"Yes, I will definitely explain it to them."

"Otherwise we don't want to go? After all, we made a lot last year?"

Sister-in-law Ye watched everyone in the yard go out and knew that they had finished talking, so she squeezed in to hear what they were saying and express her own opinions.

Ye Yaopeng was a little hesitant when he heard what he said.

Sister-in-law Ye kept up her efforts, "Anyway, I made a lot more money last year, and it's pretty good. Isn't it hard to make money this year? There are too many monks, and there is a possibility of fighting with the locals, so don't take the risk."

Sister-in-law Ye was also a little hesitant, reluctant to give up the opportunity to make money and worried about any accidents.

"Is there really going to be an accident?"

"Bah, crow's mouth!" Ye Yaodong glared at her.

Everyone else also turned to stare at Sister-in-law Ye.

Second Sister-in-law Ye quickly slapped her mouth twice and smiled sheepishly, "I'm just asking, I didn't mean it."

Ye Yaohua stood up and pulled her out, "If you can't speak, don't speak. Go home and talk."

"The stool hasn't been moved back yet..."

When one left, the other stood up, and Sister-in-law Ye quickly followed. If she had anything to say, she went home and took her stool back with her.

"Then Dongzi, let's go back first. I guess we'll have to talk to my father for a long time. I can't go to bed right away. I'm tired all day."

"Actually, there's no rush. We're not leaving tomorrow."

"Let's go back first. We'll talk later if there's anything."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong stood up and sent them out one by one. Then he sat back on the armchair and continued to chat with his father.

And Lin Xiuqing also took a broom and started sweeping the yard. Although there were no fruit peels or paper scraps, there were a lot of cigarette butts and ashes. They were all old smokers.

"Last year, they made too much money. This year, they probably won't think about giving up. They should go and take a look and wait and see."

"Okay, there's nothing to do. You can go back too. Anyway, we've talked about it."

Father Ye nodded and didn't say anything more. After he went out, there was a discussion at the door. He didn't leave either. He stood at the door and chatted with everyone.

The old lady moved a stool and sat next to Ye Yaodong. Her face was full of concern, and the Buddhist beads in her hands kept rolling there.

"Dongzi, can we not go? Hearing what you said just now, I was so nervous that I wanted to go into the house and worship."

"Then go."

"I...I'm worried. I want to talk to you. Can we not go?"

"Don't worry too much. These are all hypothetical situations. We will react accordingly. Nothing will go wrong. Look, I have...Don't think too much."

He stretched out his hand and gestured with a pistol.

Others don't know what will happen, but he will definitely make money if he goes there. He will definitely make more than anyone else. There are still large groups of sea urchins waiting for him at the bottom of the trench.

"Alas..." The old lady sighed and began to chant Amitabha again.

Lin Xiuqing didn't say much. Anyway, she said that everyone listened to her and the whole family was under her control. In fact, everyone listened to him and the whole family was served by her.

Ye Yaodong had already said everything in his mind when he was talking earlier. Now he sat at the door with an empty head and felt a little sleepy after a while.

He was on the tractor all night feeding mosquitoes. After returning home, he only dozed for two or three hours and woke up after lunch. Now he relaxed and wanted to sleep immediately.

But half asleep and half awake, he still thought that he had to check the progress of the boat tomorrow and urged it. All important things had to be prepared in advance.

He also had to go to the shipyard to see when the 7 boats 002 ordered would be delivered. It was said before that this boat would be delivered this month. He urged it. If he could catch up, he would take it directly at that time.

As for the next two days, he probably won't go out to sea for the time being. His sister will be back with the two children she just gave birth to. He also has to visit Director Chen in the city. In addition, he has to wait for Ah Guang's news. When to set off, the preparations before departure must be done well.

It can't be like the Harvest last year. Everyone set off, but the boat is still on the sea and hasn't returned yet. He is the leader. If he doesn't move, everyone will probably wait there.

The departure time was delayed, and it would be a disaster to go there.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong rode his motorcycle and hurried out.

What he didn't expect was that in the morning when he was away, his elder brother and second brother went to his second uncle's house to talk about not taking their boat, and they made a fuss.

When he rushed home at dinner time, the door around was deserted. Only Wang Guangliang was sitting at his door eating melon seeds. No one else was seen, not even the children.

It's summer vacation now. In the past, there were children running and jumping at the door under the scorching sun.

It's hard to say at other times. At dinner time, no one dared to run too far, lest they couldn't hear when they were called to eat, and they would go home and get beaten.

Ye Yaodong was a little curious. He looked into the house from the door of his elder brother and second brother's house, but there was no one in sight. The door was still open.

"Brother Dong, you are finally back..." Wang Guangliang had been sitting at the door idly, and when he saw the motorcycle, he ran out immediately.

"Where are the people? Where did they go?"

"They all went to your second uncle's house. They seemed to have had a quarrel before, and someone came to report it. The whole family went there. My sister-in-law asked me to help watch it first. She will be back soon, but she has been gone for almost an hour."

"Did they quarrel? How long did they quarrel?"

"I don't know how long they quarreled, but I watched them here for about an hour."

Ye Yaodong frowned.

The boys who had been chasing the exhaust gas came up and surrounded him, touching his motorcycle. He could only send the boys around and park the motorcycle in the yard.

Then he went into the house to drink a cup of tea, and looked at the locked door, which made him feel relieved.

He opened the lid of the pot, but there was nothing in the pot. He had to ride his bike out to find out what was going on.

"You watch here first, I'll be back in a while."

"Oh, okay."

It was not his own business, so Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. He mainly went to take a look and call Ah Qing back to cook. He was so hungry that he ate the bowl of porridge in the morning in two pees.

At this time, the road was empty. People were either cooking or eating. There were not many children running on the road.

When he was about to reach his second uncle's house on his bike, it seemed that the party was about to end?

A bunch of people in front of him were walking out, filing out, it was such a big group, the road was blocked for several meters, he was surprised, this fight was not small?

The leader was still his father, his eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, Lin Xiuqing led Ye Xiaoxi and followed the old lady to the edge.

The whole family was here, all together.

"What's wrong? I was away for half a morning, and the whole family came to fight?"

Ye's father didn't know if he was angry or something, he was in a bad mood, just glanced at him and didn't say a word.

His eldest brother and second brother didn't say anything, only his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were there, cursing.

"When they were asking for help, they said all the nice things, but now that we are not willing to take them, they are turning their backs on us."

"Isn't it? They also said that they bought small boats from others at a high price just to make money. Now that we are not taking them, they are swearing and saying that they lost money and need us to compensate them."

"Who asked them to buy it? We didn't ask them to buy it. They were greedy. Two or three small boats were not enough for a few people, so they went to others and bought two old boats at the price of new boats."

"Their wives also included all the boats of their brothers from their mother's family, and they will ask us to pull them over when the time comes..."

"You are sick. It's hard to explain now. They blame us for everything. We didn't agree..."

"That's right. I wouldn't care about them if I knew. I just wanted to help them at that time. They are not outsiders, and I wanted them to make some money. Now they are too shameless and want to blackmail them... Bah..."

"You are dreaming. If we don't take them and their relatives with us, they still want us to pay compensation. We have already told them that it is dangerous. If they can't come back, where can we go to compensate them?"

The two sisters-in-law stood there and complained to Ye Yaodong about the faces of those people. Because the neighbors who were walking around after the show also stopped and talked about it.

Father Ye's face turned black, and he turned around and glared at them, "Is there anything you can't say when you get home? Aren't you embarrassed outside? Go home quickly."

"Who are we embarrassing? They are the ones who should be embarrassed. I came here to talk to them properly. It's also for their own good. Don't take risks."

"That's right. Everyone is saying that it's hard to make money this year. They are also worried that they will make a wasted trip and may encounter danger."

Ye Yaopeng also shouted, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

The two sisters-in-law followed them, nagging and cursing.

Ye Yaodong also understood roughly. He frowned and pushed his bicycle towards Aqing.

Lin Xiuqing quickly carried the fat little Ye Xiaoxi to the back seat, "Take her back first, I'll tell you what happened when we get back."

"No need, just let her sit on it, I'll push the car with you, where are the two sons?"

"They were there just now, but now they're gone, probably running back home towards the path."

The villagers watched the show for another morning, and they didn't care about cooking. The pots and stoves at home were cold, and now they hurried back to cook.

They had elderly people and children, and they walked slowly, falling directly to the back.

"Big brother and second brother came here this morning to cancel the previous appointment, right? And they refused?"

"Yes, they said they were ready and waiting to set off. If they refused to accept what big brother and second brother said, they would let big brother and second brother take them with them."

"Brother and brother explained to them, it was almost the same as what you told everyone last night, but they were determined to make money, thinking that since it was dangerous and you couldn't make much money, why did you still go?"

"Since you still want to make this money, it means it is definitely not as dangerous as you say. It must be just talk. You are just afraid that there will be too many people and you will earn less, so you said this to everyone."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

There is actually nothing wrong with saying this.

If you still want to go despite the danger, it means the reward is too tempting and worth a try.

Lin Xiuqing continued, "Then the cousins ​​originally only had two small boats, and later asked the eldest and second brothers to add another one. The eldest and second brothers also thought that they could earn more with one more boat, so they had no objection. Anyway, their boats could carry two or three boats."

"Who knew that they seemed too greedy later and went to buy two more from others, saying that they paid a high price and bought the old boat with the price of a new boat..."

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Guaranteed profit? So optimistic about making a fortune? You are quite ambitious."

"Don't interrupt."

"Okay, okay, go on."

"They bought more than just two small boats at a high price. They originally cursed and swore not to tell anyone, but their wives went back to their parents' home and told them, and then they wanted to take all the boats of their wives' relatives. You have to take it with you."

"Also, they didn't tell the eldest and second brothers about the other boats they bought and the boats they were going to take from my wife's family. Because they thought that for the eldest and second brothers, the more the better, and the more boats they took, the more they would draw, so they didn't tell them specifically. "

"When several families slammed the table just now, the eldest and second brothers realized that they had to carry several families, and even the families of several cousins' wives just came."

"It's not just their relatives from their families, but also relatives from other families, most of the village came, and they made a fuss all morning."

Ye Yaodong was shocked, his teeth bared. Relatives from other families, that really covered most of the village. No wonder when he came here, he saw them disperse, and the road was blocked for several meters.

"Because the eldest and second brothers had already made arrangements with them, no one came to us yesterday. Only those who met on the road stopped us and asked a few questions..."

"Because they got most of the information from them, and they all agreed, so they were all in the same boat, so they didn't come to us to ask us to take them."

"Then the cousins' wives' families knew that the eldest and second brothers had changed their minds, and they wanted the cousins ​​to be responsible. The pressure was put on the cousins, and the cousins ​​had to put the pressure on the eldest and second brothers again. Now they are forcing the eldest and second brothers to fulfill their promise and take them with them. No matter how dangerous it is, they have to go."

"I firmly believe that you all have to earn this money. Of course, you can definitely earn it."

"Oh... the quarrel just now was so fierce. There were a lot of people over there. The eldest brother and the second brother couldn't resist it. They just kept shaking their heads and saying no, they can't bear the responsibility."

"They only said that as long as he is responsible for bringing him there, they will bear everything else by themselves, but how is this possible? When nothing happens, of course they pat their chests to ensure that they don't have to bear anything. How can they forget about it when something does happen? It's time to make trouble There will still be trouble.”

"The table was overturned just now. Dad found it difficult to handle it. He felt that the eldest brother and the second brother were too sloppy. It's hard to get rid of it now."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "We've been making noise all morning and we haven't reached an agreement yet?"

"No, it's just a temporary truce. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law said there that they only agreed to take their three boats, but they didn't agree to the two they would buy later, as well as those of their relatives. Let them settle what they promised themselves. What they didn’t promise, they won’t admit.”

"But the cousins ​​are under pressure. They ask the eldest brother and the second brother to take it with them. They said that apart from the 20%, if they make more money, they are willing to share the gas money for the round trip and don't let them be responsible."

"How could the eldest brother and the second brother agree? They don't need the gas money for the round trip. They don't even want to take the three boats, let alone a large group of people."

"Then they are saying that it was the eldest brother and the second brother who approached them and told them, but now they have turned back and regretted it. They have spent money and made promises to others. The eldest brother and the second brother must be responsible for bringing them along."

"There was so much wrangling that my head hurt. We haven't even finished the quarrel yet. We just quarreled all morning and it was noon. The village cadres were also tired. They forced the eldest brother and the second brother to be dragged out first. ”

"There are people inside to help talk. I just told everyone to go back and calm down, discuss it again, and make an appointment to have a calm chat later."

"The eldest brother and the second brother were eager to leave immediately, so they hurried out. Then these people who were watching the excitement also came out after seeing that there was no fun to be seen. Now there are village cadres in the house comforting my cousin and the others. They each take a step back.”

Ye Yaodong also had to say that his eldest and second brother were at fault in this matter.

I took the initiative to approach someone and agreed to it, but now I turned around and regretted it.

The other boats were promised by his cousins, which of course had nothing to do with him, but he was indeed at fault for taking the three small boats they had promised before.

If you don't suffer a small loss, you will definitely not be able to get rid of it. After all, they spent a lot of money to buy another boat. If they didn't buy it, it might be better to say something and scold them for being dishonest.

"What is this? It's a mess." The old lady listened for a long time before she understood.

There were so many people before that she couldn't squeeze in. When she heard the wind, she walked over slowly on crutches. She stood outside and listened here and there but didn't understand a word. Now she just listened to what A Qing said from beginning to end. Understand what happened.
