Chapter 1729 Criticism and Struggle
After waiting for two days and one night, the port resumed normal traffic, and most of the fishing boats had left. The people who stayed on the dock came back and said that it was safe to sail out of the port, so they made arrangements immediately.
Only after all fishing boats have returned to sea and all procedures and order have been restored to pre-fishing moratorium levels can things be considered back on track.
Ye Yaodong also arranged for the cargo transport of the fresh seafood ship to return.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who were at sea, also returned on the 19th. They rested for one night and will return home tomorrow.
When the two brothers returned, their moods were completely different; one was happy, while the other was happy but also a little depressed.
As soon as Ye Yaopeng returned, he asked his father if they had decided on a name for the child.
Mr. Ye chuckled, “The fortune teller said the birth charts are all very good, and we have everything we need. We can choose any name we like. Ah Hai suggested Ye Huaibin.”
"This is a good name, but it has to be given by educated people who know how to name things."
"Indeed, both brothers are good at naming things."
Ye's father was happy talking to Ye Yaopeng, but he didn't forget Ye Yaohua.
“You should also talk to Ajiang and ask your wife to start arranging things for the child. Ahai and Chenghe are already fathers, so you need to urge him to hurry up. He’s always so irresponsible and doesn’t care about anything. By tomorrow, their kids will be old enough to run errands, and Ajiang will still be a bachelor.”
"Dad, what's the point of telling me this? You should talk to him yourself. I'm at sea all day long, how can I possibly control his finding a partner?"
"You stay in the factory every day and never go to sea, and you still can't find a partner. If she went to sea with you, what would happen? She'd be a bachelor for life."
“Tell him yourself.”
"Now that you're back, you have to say something."
Ye Yaohua was scolded by his father, which made him even more depressed. The worst part was that Ye Chengjiang was not around; he was out delivering goods, and he couldn't find him to yell at.
Ye Chengjiang had heard his father nag quite a bit over the past two weeks, but he'd just let it go in one ear and out the other, so he was immune to it and used to it.
The next day, when facing his father, he was more experienced and listened attentively, humbly accepting instruction and cooperating well. As for whether or not to seek help, that was of course up to him.
It's all those two's fault. Two sons suddenly appeared, putting all the pressure on him. They clearly made a promise with Ah Hai, but they betrayed him!
Damn it, now he's all alone and helpless.
After the whole family boarded the boat, all eyes were on him, and they talked about Ah Hai and Cheng He's two sons, but also about him.
Normally, he would share the burden with his three siblings, Lin Dongxue, Lin Guangming, and Lin Guangwen, at the factory, but now that he's on the ship, he's all alone again.
Ye Chengjiang listened to the scolding around him, nodding his head, feeling bitter inside.
After a grueling return home, a new round of bombardment awaited...
They had just returned home and sat down to wait for dinner when a bunch of people started discussing Ye Chenghai's child's one-month celebration and criticizing him.
When they saw Ye Chenghe's son, they practically drowned him in spittle, bombarding him relentlessly.
He was on pins and needles, anxiously scanning his surroundings for reinforcements. Finally, he spotted Ye Chenghu standing in a corner, gloating. His eyes lit up.
Disaster is diverted to the east.
No, it's not that there's no reinforcements; they've arrived ready-made.
"Don't just talk about me. Ye Chenghu is old too, he looks much taller than all of you, and he's about the same age as me. He can find a girlfriend too. Ask him if he's found one at school yet."
"He goes to a high school, and all his classmates have only high school diplomas. They're all from Shanghai, so it would be great to find a girlfriend in his class!"
"What if, by some accident, your partner gets into university and comes home with you? Then we'll have a college student in our family, right?"
"It doesn't matter if we Ye family members aren't good at studying, we can just kidnap someone from outside! A college student's child is definitely smarter!"
Ye Chenghu's eyes widened as all the eyes of his aunts and gossipy relatives instantly focused on him!
"No...no...how did this get to me? I'm still a child..."
"I'm still a child too!"
"Bullshit, you're already in your twenties, and I'm still studying..."
"Didn't Ye Chenghe find a girlfriend early on while he was still in school? He went straight to her right after graduation. I'm rooting for you, brother. Reserve your spot in advance and you can bring a college student home with you. Our ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke."
Ye Chenghu, flustered, quickly explained, "No, no, don't talk nonsense, I... I'm only 16..."
"Chenghe is not even 16 yet and he has already found a girlfriend. You are already late. You have to work harder. Your third uncle has created such good conditions for you and even sent you to a high school in Shanghai. You have to cherish it and make your move first. You should reserve a college student wife in advance."
Ye Chenghu's face turned red. Seeing all the aunts and grandmothers around him looking at him, his usually eloquent tongue seemed to be malfunctioning.
To make matters worse, Ye Xiaoxi was there to add fuel to the fire, saying, "My older brother said before that he wants to find a college student as a wife..."
Ye Chengjiang laughed exaggeratedly, "Haha, did you hear that? Ye Chenghu already has a target. He wants to find a college student wife. You guys hurry up and urge him. Finding a wife is a big deal for him. She's a future college student."
"Does Chenghu already have a girlfriend? A high school classmate? That's great, you can get married after high school graduation."
"Wow, you've already found someone for yourself? If they get into university, they'll be family."
"Chenghu is so smart. He found a wife who's going to college early on. That's amazing. You brothers are all so good at finding partners."
Seeing Ye Chenghu's flustered state, Lin Xiuqing smiled and explained to everyone, "No, that's not true. Chenghu is focused on his studies right now and isn't looking for a partner. He's still young."
Ye Yaodong also said, "You still want to associate yourself with Cheng Hu. If Cheng Hu finds another partner, I don't think you can celebrate the New Year. Cheng He is a year younger than you and is already a father. If Cheng Hu also finds a partner, I think you will be kicked out of your home and won't be able to come back until you find a partner."
Ye Yaohua and Ye Ersao both glared at Ye Chengjiang.
Ye Chengjiang instantly realized he had acted rashly. Ye Chenghu was even younger than him, and if he also found a partner, he would be doomed.
He glanced around the room and felt he should urge a few of the younger women to come...
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly said something surprising, "Brother Jiang, why don't you just ask my cousin? You're looking for a boyfriend, and my cousin is looking for a boyfriend too!"
Sister-in-law Ye's eyes lit up. "Which cousin of yours?"
"Lin Dongxue."
Sister-in-law Ye looked at Lin Xiuqing with overjoyed delight, "Aqing..."
Ye Chengjiang's eyes widened. "What the hell? You little brat, stop trying to play matchmaker! What do you know? She's three years older than me..."
"A woman three years older is like a gold brick in the hand; so what if she's three years older?" Sister-in-law Ye glared at him fiercely.
Ye Chengjiang jumped up and down, "Don't play matchmaker and believe everything you hear. She's three years older than me and a college student. Do you think I'm good enough for her? Do you think your son is good enough for her? I don't even dare to think about it, and you actually dare to think about it."
Ye Ersao's smile vanished, and she looked for a stick.
"You're a good-for-nothing. You look down on those who are uncultured, and you're not good enough for those who are educated. What can you do?"
"I can eat, sleep, and beat the child!" Ye Chengjiang glared at Ye Xiaoxi.
Ye Xiaoxi chuckled and ran away quickly...
Lin Xiuqing was speechless; no one had thought of it that way.
After all, Lin Dongxue is a college student...
Pei Ye Chengjiang...
Even Ye Yaodong found it outrageous.
Lin Dongxue is just picky; she's not unable to get married. She and Lin Guangyuan have no trouble finding partners, so there's no need for them to look in the countryside.
Even Ye Chengjiang wouldn't want to marry someone from the countryside, let alone her.
Lin Xiuqing smoothed things over, saying, "You've just gotten back, so rest first. Don't talk about the kids anymore, and don't put too much pressure on Ajiang. Ahai and Chenghe got married early, and Ajiang isn't that old either. Waiting a few more years won't be a problem."
Ye Yaodong also said, "That's true. When fate comes, you can't stop it. If it's not there now, it means the time hasn't come yet. In a few months, the factory will hold a joint event with other factories. Who knows, the time will come then."
"What kind of social gathering is it?" Sister-in-law Ye asked.
Lin Xiuqing explained, "It's about arranging events at two factories to see if any young men and women are interested in each other."
"This is good, this is good..."
Ye Ersao pulled Lin Xiuqing along to continue learning, while the others dispersed or rested.
Ye Chengjiang also quickly seized the opportunity to slip away.
He had just returned, sat down and had a meal when a group of people surrounded him and launched a denunciation meeting against him.
If he doesn't find a partner, won't everyone bring him up and say something when someone has a baby?
P.S.: I'm too sleepy, going to bed now. I'll finish this tomorrow after I wake up.
