Chapter 1085 Breaking the Contract
Everyone has to take responsibility for their own decisions, and he has said what needs to be said, and the rest of the decision is up to them.
If you still want to take risks and make a lot of money, then go with it. If you still want to bring a boat, then bring it. But he doesn't care about the rest. He has a lot of boats and people, which is obvious to all.
"You should 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 she doesn't know when she will give birth. Why don't you I have to watch the baby be born.”
"You're 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 for next month. What's the rush?"
Ah Zheng also echoed, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry. What's the rush? There are still many days to buffer. We'll see in a few days."
"Um."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were still sitting on the edge listening to them. They listened for a long time and hesitated for a long time, but they were not embarrassed to speak.
Ye Yaodong also noticed it, and turned to talk to his eldest and second brothers, asking them to consider whether to go or not, and to carefully consider what might happen if they take others with them.
Both of them nodded as if they were pounding garlic, and their intestines were filled with regret.
Don't talk about taking people now. Listening to what Dongzi said just now and what everyone is discussing, even they themselves feel that a bloody incident is likely to happen.
"We'll think about it later."
"Dongzi, since you think it's dangerous, why are you still going? Why are you hiring so many boatmen?"
Ye Yaodong raised his chin towards the people sitting in the courtyard, "So many people are waiting and want to go with me. If I can't say no to go at the moment, won't everyone's thoughts of getting rich be stopped?"
Without a leader, everyone will feel unsure if others take over.
He was the leader from the beginning, and everyone must have recognized him. Even if he said that he was only responsible for his own people and no one else cares, people would feel more at ease if they could follow him.
"Despite what I just said about the difficulty of this trip, the majority of people who have tasted the benefits and want to try it again must be the majority. Moreover, last year they only earned wages, and this year the people who rented a boat must be If I didn’t catch up last year, I would think about taking a gamble this year.”
"What you said just now will at best put down 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. Maybe you will be lucky?"
"Who would want something bad to happen? They must be thinking in a good direction. After fishing in the trench for a few days, they feel they have made enough, so they stop going to sea and just find a few people to go back together. Isn't this possible? "
"Run away as soon as you make a lot of money. They were just saying that..." Azheng interrupted.
"So, those who should follow will still follow. They all want to gain wealth and wealth from danger. They all think that they can control it. They are not greedy. They will stop after making almost enough money and come back early."
Several people thought it made sense when they heard it. Most people thought that it could not be them who died.
Xiaoxiao also agreed, "That's right. All in all, there are dozens of people in our village, plus hundreds of people in the town, how can they not come back? In a normal group fight, only a few will die. Everyone thinks that they are It can’t be that unlucky.”
"Yes, everyone is lucky."
Azheng also said: "But if you take it, you won't be able to take those small boats. There may not be many small profits. If you take it by yourself, you have to look after others along the way, and you have to escort them so that they can make good money." Money, why, it’s such a loss.”
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua nodded repeatedly. They also felt that they had suffered a big loss and were too hasty. They were so excited by Dongzi's ten ships that they became dizzy.
Dongzi owns the boat, and everything he earns goes into his pocket. It's different from them. They take the least money and bear the greatest responsibility, and help others earn their money.
Maybe after taking them there, part of them will be taken away, so what are they trying to do? Picture stimulation?
The yard was also in a mess, and there was a lot of noise. There were all kinds of discussions about whether we should go there, how likely the situation just described was to occur, and how to deal with it, but no one was discussing whether to bring a boat.
The outside of the yard was also in a mess, with three floors inside and three floors outside. After hearing the news, people from the village came over to join in the discussion.
"Well, Adong, you just said so much, but you still haven't said when we will set off?"
"Yes, when will we leave?"
"Last year it was mid-July. I don't know this year. Aguang also called me some time ago, but he only said that it wasn't there yet. I saw a few occasionally and couldn't sell it at a high price. The factory wasn't even started. But I guess I will go there in advance. After all, I have a lot of people, so I have to go there in advance to settle down.”
Next, Aguang had to ask more questions from time to time. If a factory started operating, they would go there in advance.
Generally, news circulates relatively quickly between factories. If there is a plan to start work, it will basically be prepared three to five days in advance. Other factories will also know about it. After all, they have to recruit people and arrange to receive goods.
"It's probably around the beginning of the month, so I have to go there and settle in early, so that it won't be difficult to find a house because there are so many people. Last year, I slept in the wilderness, and it rained heavily later, which made me miserable and miserable."
"Anyway, if you plan to go, there's nothing wrong with preparing in advance. But you really have to be mentally prepared. I'm not just talking nonsense." Ye Yaodong emphasized again.
"We know this and we will discuss it..."
Some people asked curiously: "So Adong, how many boats did you order? Everyone said that you ordered many boats to take them there, so you hired more than ten or twenty workers."
"What should I do if I request it in advance in case I don't have enough people to hire at the moment? We'll see how many ships we bring. Anyway, it's my own ship. I don't know the progress of the ship now. I have to ask in the next two days."
He prevaricated the matter casually. It was none of their business how many boats he wanted to take, and he wouldn't trouble others.
With a large group of people, he might be safer when the time comes. The people he invites will definitely have to listen to him anyway.
Father Ye also smiled and said to everyone: "Tonight is a meeting, and everyone is aware of it. There will probably be more than a week left now, so you can all go back and discuss it."
"Okay, okay, let's go back and discuss it and take a look."
"Oh...it's hard to do it, it's hard to do it..."
"Then if you plan to leave on what date then, do you have to tell us in advance?"
"Yes, yes, I will tell you when I leave. You have to follow me. I made enough last year, so it would be nice to stay at home and enjoy the blessings this year."
"How can you ever make enough money? How can you still enjoy happiness... You still have to work. You are born to work hard, how can you enjoy happiness?"
"Yeah, I do it wherever I go..."
"Go back first and think about it."
…
Everyone stood up one after another, huddled together in twos and threes, and walked out while discussing.
Even the village women who were waiting at the door to watch the excitement gathered around their acquaintances or family members, and were reluctant to leave immediately. They stood at the door and started a new round of heated discussion.
Ye Yaodong sat there without moving, and neither did the people around him.
Xiaoxiao was still there and said: "Ah Guang's wife has given birth, but my wife hasn't given birth for a long time. She really has been waiting for death, which makes me anxious. He also gave birth to two sons at once. It's a good idea to send a son to Guanyin." Don't send my share to him."
"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 Mrs. Ye quickly followed. If she had anything to say, she went home and took her stool back with her.
"Well, Dongzi, let's go back first. We probably have to talk to my father and the others for a long time when we go back. We can't go to bed right away. We've been tired for a day."
"Actually, there's no rush. It's not like I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Let's go back first and talk about it later if there's anything else."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong stood up and sent them out one by one, then sat on the armchair again and continued chatting with his father.
Lin Xiuqing also took a broom and began to sweep the yard. Although there were no peelings and confetti, there were a lot of cigarette butts and soot, all of which were old smokers.
"I made too much money last year. I probably won't give up this year. I'll probably take a look and wait and see first."
"Well, there's nothing to do. You can go back. Anyway, we've already talked and talked about it."
Father Ye nodded and didn't say anything more. After going out, there was a discussion at the door. He didn't leave either. He stood at the door chatting with everyone.
The old lady moved a stool and sat next to Ye Yaodong, her face full of concern, and the prayer beads in her hand kept rolling there.
"Dongzi, can we not go? After hearing what you just said, I feel very anxious and want to go in and pay my respects."
"Then go ahead."
"I...amn't I worried? I want to talk to you. Can you not go?"
"Don't worry too much. These are all hypothetical situations. Just adapt to circumstances when the time comes. Something may not happen. Look, I have it on hand... Don't think too much."
He reached out and gestured for the pistol.
Others may not know, but he definitely went there to make money. He must have earned more than anyone else, and there were patches of sea urchins waiting for him under the trench.
"Alas..." The old lady sighed and began to recite Amitabha again.
Lin Xiuqing didn't say much. Anyway, Tiantian said that he listened to her and the whole family was under her control. In fact, he actually listened to him and the whole family was under her care.
When Ye Yaodong was talking before, he had already finished talking about everything in his mind. Now he was sitting at the door enjoying the cool air with his head empty, and soon became a little drowsy.
I spent the whole night on the tractor feeding mosquitoes last night. After I got home, I only squinted for two or three hours. I woke up after lunch. When I relaxed, I immediately fell asleep.
But half asleep and half awake, he still thought that he would have to check on the progress of the boat tomorrow and urge him to prepare all important things in advance.
I still have to go to the shipyard to see when the 7 ordered boats 002 will be delivered. I said before that this boat will be delivered this month. I’ll give it a try. If I can make it in time, I’ll take it directly to me.
As for the past two days, there is a high probability that he will not go to sea for the time being. His sister is coming back soon with her two new children. He still has to go to the city to visit Director Chen, and he still has to wait for news about A Guang. , when to set off, the preparations before departure must be done well.
It can't be like last year's Harvest. Everyone has set off. The ship is still at sea and hasn't come back yet. He is the leader. If he hadn't moved, everyone would probably be waiting there.
If you delay the departure time, you will be blinded when you go there.
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong got on his motorcycle and hurried out.
What he didn't expect was that in the middle of the morning when he was away, his eldest and second brothers went to several cousins of his second uncle's house to talk about not taking them on the boat, and a commotion broke out.
When he came home in time for lunch, the surrounding doors were deserted. Only Wang Guangliang was sitting at his door eating melon seeds. No one else was seen, not even the child.
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 tell at other times. When it comes to meals, everyone doesn't dare to run too far, lest they can't be heard during mealtime and get severely beaten when they go home.
Ye Yaodong was a little curious. He looked into the house from the door of his eldest and second brother's house, but saw no one. The door was still open.
"Brother Dong, you are finally back..." Wang Guangliang had been sitting idle at the gate. After seeing the motorcycle, he ran out immediately.
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
"We all went to your second uncle's house. There seemed to be a quarrel before. Someone came to report the news, and the whole family went there. My sister-in-law asked me to help take a look first. She went and came back, but we were gone for almost an hour."
"Are you arguing? How long have you been arguing?"
"I don't know how long the quarrel lasted, but I watched it here for an hour."
Ye Yaodong frowned.
The boys who had been chasing after the exhaust caught up with him, circling around him, touching his motorcycle with their hands up and down. He could only dismiss the half-grown boys around him and park the car in the yard.
Then he went inside and had a sip of tea. He took a look at the locked door and felt a little relieved.
He opened the lid of the pot and saw that there was nothing in the pot, so he had to get on his bicycle and go out to find out the situation.
"You watch here first, I'll be back in a moment."
"okay."
It was none of his own business, so Ye Yaodong was not that anxious. He mainly wanted to take a look and call Ah Qing back to cook. He was so hungry that the bowl of porridge he had in the morning was gone in just two dips of urine.
At this time, the roads were empty. People were either cooking or eating. There were not many children running and jumping on the road.
When he was approaching his second uncle's house on his bicycle, it seemed that the party was about to end?
A group of people in front were all walking out, filing out. It was such a big group that the road was blocked for several meters. He was surprised. Isn't this scene a big one?
The leader was his father, his eldest brother, his second brother, his second sister-in-law, and the others. Lin Xiuqing led Ye Xiaoxi and followed the old lady to the edge.
The whole family is here, everything is ready.
"What's wrong? I wasn't here in the middle of the morning, and the whole family came over to start a fight?"
Father Ye didn't know whether he was angry or in a bad mood, so he just glanced at him without saying a word.
His eldest brother and second brother didn't speak either, only his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were there chirping and cursing.
"When you ask for help, you always say good things to others. Now that you don't want to take them with you, you've turned your back on them."
"Isn't that true? They also said that they bought the boat from others at a high price just to make a fortune with them. Now that they don't take them with them, they are just cursing and saying that they lost money and have to let us compensate them."
"Who asked them to buy it? We didn't ask them to buy it? It was because they were greedy. Two or three boats for a few people were not enough, so they went to others and bought two old boats at the price of new boats."
"Their wives also include all the boats owned by their brothers, and they will ask us to pull them over when the time comes..."
"I'm sick. It's hard to explain now. It's all on us. We didn't promise..."
"That's right, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have cared about them. At that time, I just wanted to help them, who were not outsiders, and let them make some money. It's so shameless now. This is going to be blackmailed... Bah..."
"It's a good idea. If you don't take them and their relatives with you, you'll ask us to pay compensation. We told them it's dangerous. Where can we go to compensate him if he doesn't come back?"
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 also stopped and started talking together.
Father Ye's face turned dark, and he turned around to glare at them, "Is there something you can't say back home? It's not shameful to be outside, so go back quickly."
"Who do we want to embarrass? It's them who should be embarrassed. I came here to talk to them. It's for their own good. Don't take risks."
"That is, everyone is saying that it is difficult to make money this year, and they are also worried that their trip will be in vain and they may be in danger."
Ye Yaopeng also shouted, "We'll talk about it when we get home."
Only then did the two sisters-in-law follow up, chattering and cursing.
Ye Yaodong roughly understood it. He frowned and pushed his bicycle towards Ah Qing.
Lin Xiuqing quickly carried the chubby little Ye Xiaoxi to the back seat, "Take her back first, and I'll tell you what happened when I get back."
"No, just let her sit on top, and I'll push her along with you. Where are the two sons?"
"The one who was there just now is gone now. He probably ran towards the path home."
The villagers watched the good show all morning again and didn't bother to cook. Those who had cold pots and stoves at home hurried back to cook.
Some of them were elderly and children. They walked slowly and fell directly to the back.
"The eldest brother and the second brother came over this morning and wanted to cancel the previous agreement, right? But they refused?"
"Yes, they agreed that they are all ready and waiting to set off. If they don't want to accept what the eldest brother and the second brother say, they will let the eldest brother and the second brother take them with them."
"The eldest brother and the second brother explained to them, almost what you told them last night, but they are determined to make a fortune by following them. They think that since they are both dangerous and can't make much, then why do you still go there? ?”
"Since you all still want to earn this money, it means it is definitely not as dangerous as you say. It must be all just talk. I am just afraid that there will be too many people and you will make less money, so I tell you this."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
There is actually nothing wrong with saying that.
Still insisting on going there despite the danger, it shows that receiving the goods is too tempting and worth the risk.
Lin Xiuqing continued: "Then my cousins originally only had two boats. Later, they told the eldest brother and the second brother to add another one. The eldest brother and the second brother also thought that they could make more money by having an extra boat, so they had no objection. Anyway, their boats, It’s okay to carry two or three in one boat.”
"Unexpectedly, they seemed to be too greedy later and went to buy two more from others. They said they paid a high price and bought the old boat for the price of the new boat..."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "A guaranteed profit? Are you so optimistic that you can make a fortune? You are quite ambitious."
"Don't interrupt yet."
"Okay, okay, you continue."
"They not only bought two boats at a high price, but they originally cursed and swore not to tell anyone, but their wives ran back to their parents' homes and told them, and then they wanted to take the boats belonging to their relatives."
"Also, they didn't tell the eldest brother and the second brother about the other boats they bought and the boats my wife's family wanted to take with her. Because they thought that for the eldest brother and the second brother, the more the better, the more boats they would go with. They will smoke more when the time comes, so they won’t talk about it specifically.”
"When several families were clapping the table just now, the eldest brother and the second brother were stunned to know that they had to bear the burden of several families. Even the cousins-in-law's natal families all came just now."
"It's not just their relatives from their mother's family, there are also relatives from around the corner who came to most of the village and made a fuss all morning."
Ye Yaodong bared his teeth and was startled. The relatives who were walking around the corner were really more than half of the village. No wonder when he came over and saw them leaving, the road was blocked for several meters.
"It's also because the eldest and second brothers made an agreement with them early, so no one came to us yesterday. Only the people we met on the roadside stopped you and asked you a few questions..."
"Because they basically got the information from there, and then they all agreed, so they were all tied to the same boat, so they didn't ask us to come and let us take them."
"Then the cousins' parents found out that the eldest brother and the second brother had gone back on their word, and they had to hold the cousins responsible. The pressure was put on the cousins. The cousins had no choice but to put the pressure on the eldest brother and the second brother. Now they are forcing the eldest brother and the second brother. We must fulfill our promise and take them with us, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, they will go.”
"If you are determined 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 originally only agreed to take their three boats, but they didn't agree to the two they would buy later, as well as 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 finished the quarrel yet. We just argued all morning and it was already 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 the three small boats they had promised before were indeed his fault.
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.
