Chapter 1677 Looting (Revised)
(I forgot to mention it in this post because Ye's father went to sea. I'm a bit confused. I saw in the comments this morning that it has been edited and supplemented. Please update this post.)
They drove to the factory after dark, full of anticipation as they drove back in their new car, only to find no one there. The workers were all working overtime in the workshop, and there were hardly any people on the road.
They traveled in brocade robes at night.
When the car was parked at the factory, they all felt a sense of disappointment.
The reality was quite different from what they had imagined: driving back in a big truck in style, with the factory workers excitedly rushing out to watch and chat with them.
Now they quietly drove the car to the factory, parked it, and got out—just the few of them, that's all…
Ye Chengjiang looked around and saw only the gatekeeper smiling and approaching him.
"Wow, you two brothers are amazing! You're so young and you're already driving big trucks. You'll be even more incredible in the future."
"Now the factory has four more big trucks, which will make transporting goods much easier. You two brothers are going to be very successful."
"Chenghe got married. When is Ajiang planning to get married? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? It's a niece of mine..."
Ye Chengjiang shook his head vigorously, "No need, thank you, but I already have a girlfriend back home."
Ye Chenghe looked at him in surprise, "You..."
Ye Chengjiang tugged at him, "You're exhausted from driving all day. Hurry up and go to the cafeteria to find something to eat, then go to sleep."
"Oh……"
Ye Chenghe stumbled as he was pulled along.
"Don't pull me, I can walk, you're going to tear my clothes..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "No need to bother introducing him to someone. You go ahead and do your work. We're going to have dinner and rest now."
After he finished speaking, he called everyone to head to the cafeteria. They hadn't eaten dinner yet, and it was time to eat and go to sleep.
The Ye brothers, Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe, still remembered his camera and even came over to him during the meal.
"Third Uncle, where did you put your camera? We'll come get it from you after we finish eating."
"So that if we want to take pictures tomorrow, we won't disturb your sleep by calling you."
"Yes, if you take it now, I won't bother you tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the two of them. "So impatient?"
"I was just worried you wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, especially in this cold weather."
"You guys are quite diligent. Come to my room to get it later."
"okay."
Ye Yaodong understood their desire to take a group photo.
One is only 20 years old, and the other is not even 20 yet, but they've already bought big cars. They're something to brag about anywhere.
That's really something.
Moreover, with him around, they can be said to be guaranteed to make a profit without having to go out and work hard to find a job.
Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.
Although no one saw them drive back at night, which was a bit of a shame since they had to hide their new car in the dark, the two brothers were satisfied when they woke up the next morning and saw a crowd of people surrounding their new car.
Lin Guangming, with his sharp eyes, spotted them and exclaimed, "Damn, when did you two drive your new cars back? As soon as you got back, I saw four big trucks parked side by side in the corner."
The people around who had just returned from delivering goods also chimed in with their own comments.
"Sure, I'll bring the car back after a few days away."
"How much does this car cost?"
"You two are really amazing..."
"You two each have one car, are the other two the boss's?"
Ye Chengjiang stood next to his car and patted the hood. "This one's mine!"
Ye Chenghe patted his car just like him, "This is mine, the two next to it belong to my third uncle."
"It took several months to get here, but it's finally here."
"Take a picture of us quickly. Here's the camera, it's Uncle San's. Don't break it. Do you know how to take a picture?"
"I know, I'll make sure you look handsome in the photos."
“We need to take turns filming…”
"Take a picture of me in the car later too..."
"Damn, so many demands?"
"Just take a couple of quick pictures..."
……
A crowd gathered around them, watching them take pictures and talk; it was quite lively early in the morning.
However, everyone only stayed for a short while before going to eat and sleep, as they were all exhausted after delivering goods all night.
After taking a few photos of them, the Lin brothers stopped and went to eat and sleep. Only then did the Ye brothers calm down, still holding their cameras with some lingering interest.
This morning also greatly satisfied their vanity.
"Wash the car, it's covered in dirt and filthy."
“Okay, I got up early and have nothing else to do. The new car is so dirty, let’s wash it first so it’ll be easier to drive out this afternoon.”
"Should we remove the flowers on the hood? They're all dirty, covered in dirt."
"Let's take them down and wash them first. Once the car is clean, we can put them back up. They'll dry in the sun for a while. It's only the first day, so it's not good to remove the flowers now. We'll tie them up and take them down this afternoon when we're ready to drive out."
"it is good."
The two brothers were incredibly energetic, like they'd been injected with adrenaline, transforming into little bees early in the morning.
Manager Qi thought he had gotten up early enough today, but he didn't expect there to be people who got up even earlier. Seeing the cars lined up side by side downstairs, he understood.
He didn't even bother to wash up before going downstairs to take a look.
"When did you drive the car back? I didn't see it last night."
"I drove back around 8 o'clock, I guess you were already asleep."
Do you want me to find someone to help you wash?
"No need, we can do it ourselves."
The two of them worked very hard, it was rare for them to be so diligent.
"You guys are amazing. You've done what others can't do in their entire lives. The younger generation is truly surpassing the older generation."
Ye Chengjiang replied with a smile, "This is all thanks to my third uncle."
"Yes, your third uncle only needs a little bit of money between his fingers to earn you some. He usually doesn't need the car until three or four in the afternoon, or four or five. You two brothers can go out and pick up jobs at other times."
"What's the rush? The new car just got back, so we'll put it in the factory first. Isn't it good to make money with Uncle San? Why bother going to the docks and fighting for territory with other people?"
"Yes, there are arguments and fights every day at the dock over parking spaces, and cars are often smashed. It's a mess."
"That's right. It's only because we wear factory uniforms every day that people know who we belong to and don't dare to mess with us."
"That too."
Whatever Manager Qi said next, the two brothers just let it go in one ear and out the other, at most nodding or humming in response.
It was time for the workers to change shifts in the morning, and a row of large trucks was parked conspicuously in the corner, which everyone could see as soon as they entered the door.
Curious, they came over and saw Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe diligently washing the car, and knew that their new car had been brought back.
The whole factory knew that the two brothers had bought a new car, and it had been going on for several months.
Everyone smiled and offered auspicious words of congratulations to the couple.
The two of them straightened up and responded with smiles as they washed.
After seeing off wave after wave of onlookers, the two of them finally focused on wiping the car.
Ye Chenghe breathed on the car as he wiped it, then continued wiping.
Ye Chengjiang was the same, humming an off-key song, yet still teasing him, "I've never seen you treat your wife this well."
"A wife isn't that expensive."
"Grass……"
Ye Chenghe chuckled, "You're just as happy to see your parents and beautiful women, aren't you?"
"That's different, this one cost a lot of money, hahaha..."
"You're different, and you dare to criticize me!"
Manager Qi went to the cafeteria for breakfast, then brought the food over and squatted down beside them, watching them work.
Have you had breakfast yet?
Ye Chenghe suddenly realized, "Oh, we didn't seem to have eaten breakfast?"
"No, I haven't eaten yet. I just finished washing up. Let's go have breakfast."
"Did the boss come back with you? He has a ton of things to deal with."
Ye Chengjiang said, "He sleeps in late, he'll get up naturally when he wakes up. Don't wake him unless it's urgent. Last night he told us not to disturb him this morning, and that we could leave the camera with us and not rush to return it."
Ye Yaodong, who goes to bed early and gets up early, happened to come over and overheard it.
"I don't think I said that last sentence?"
"Hey? Third Uncle? Why are you up so early?"
"If I hadn't gotten up earlier, I wouldn't have heard you making fun of me."
"Hehe...No way..."
Did you call home after driving the car back?
"No……"
"Call home later. You never make a phone call, whether you're out or back. What's going on in your head all day?"
"Thinking about how to make money."
"I went to Shanghai for a week and didn't even call back once. I couldn't find you guys at all."
Ye Chenghe added, "We were exhausted when we got back so late yesterday, we didn't have time to make phone calls. We got up early this morning to wash the car, and it's only a little past 8 o'clock now."
"I'll go after I finish eating."
"understood."
The two responded briefly and then ran away.
Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were overjoyed to learn that they had brought the car back and kept saying "good" to them.
The unhappiness I felt from being kept in the dark has vanished, and now I'm filled with joy.
Everyone in the village knows that both of their sons have bought large trucks and are very successful, achieving a level that their parents never reached.
Ye Chengjiang: "We took photos this morning. We'll get the film developed later and send it back to you."
"No need to send it. You can mail it back after you've washed it. It might not be as fast as bringing it back yourself."
"No need to mail it. If Uncle has any goods to send back, I can just put them in an envelope and send them back with me. It'll be faster."
“That works too. If it’s inconvenient to drive the car back, you can just send the photos back.”
Ye Chengjiang agreed, "Yes, we definitely won't drive the car back during the Spring Festival. It's too far to go back and forth, and it's not necessarily safe on the road. We'll just leave it at the factory where someone can watch over it, which will save us the trouble."
"Then you need to send back the photos. I don't even know what the car looks like."
"It's similar to Uncle San's truck, except the front is round and it's military green..."
"Oh dear, I don't understand what you're saying. I'll understand once I see the photos you send back. I'll also show them to other people and take a few more pictures."
"understood."
“Xiuni is here, let Chenghe answer the phone.”
Ye Chengjiang held the phone directly to Ye Chenghe's ear, saying, "Your wife wants to talk to you on the phone."
Ye Chenghe quickly answered the phone, "Hey, Nini..."
Ye Chengjiang got goosebumps all over, shuddered, and quickly hid to the side with a look of disgust.
He usually complains about how bad it is to have a wife, but the moment he answers the phone, his face lights up with a smile, calling her "Nini" all the time...
Disgusting...
Go outside and get some sun.
Ye Chenghe came out after finishing the phone call, grinning like a fool.
"Is it really necessary? It's just a phone call."
Is it really that sweet?
"I'm going to be a dad..."
"I knew it."
"The baby can move..."
Ye Chengjiang exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? It's already moving? When will it give birth?"
"That's still early. I only have a slight feeling occasionally. If I'm going to give birth, it will be around April next year."
"Then don't come up during the New Year, just stay home and keep me company."
"Hmm, do you have any money in your pocket?"
"what?"
"Lend me some money, I need to send some money back to my wife."
"How could I be richer than you?" Ye Chengjiang glared at him, but also stood up and reached into his pocket.
“You’re definitely richer than me. I have a family to support, but you don’t. You can give me your money to support my family.”
"My grass..."
"Stop fucking, there's nothing to fucking about, just give me all your money..."
Seeing that he had reached into his pocket but hadn't made a move, Ye Chenghe simply grabbed it.
"Don't be stingy, you don't have anywhere to spend your money anyway, but I have plenty of places to spend it, so give it to me..."
"Nima's..."
"Please understand that I'm going to be a father."
Ye Chengjiang clutched his pocket, "You're the father, not me, and you expect me to support your wife and kids... Damn it... They're not my wife and kids... Have some shame..."
"Well, you're still my father, so give me some money to spend first. Don't be so stingy."
Ye Chengjiang cursed and swore, having robbed him of everything.
"How come you're so poor? You only have 30 yuan."
"This is more than half a month's worth of food expenses for me. Take it or leave it."
Are there any left in the dorm?
"Would another 100 be enough for you?"
"No problem, good brother." Ye Chenghe happily put his arm around his shoulder and pushed him to the dormitory to get the money.
I'll take advantage of the fact that I don't have anything to do this morning and go out to wire the money later.
Do you have any money left? Or would you like some more?
"No."
"Really none left? I don't believe it."
“I’ve already given you 130. If you have a few dozen dollars on you, you can scrape together 200, right? Your wife isn’t short of money. Doesn’t your mother take care of her food and drink at home? Why would she need to spend money on me? Do you really need to squeeze me dry?”
“I have to reciprocate whether she wants it or not. Her belly is getting bigger and she can’t fit into her clothes anymore, so she needs to buy new ones. My mother won’t take care of that, so of course I have to give her money. Besides, she’s taking care of two people now, so she needs to eat well and get some nutrition. If I send her some money back home, she’ll be more willing to spend it. Otherwise, she’ll definitely feel bad and be reluctant to spend her own money.”
Ye Chengjiang rolled his eyes. "You don't feel bad about spending my money, you're willing to spend it."
"Alright then, I'll empty my pockets and scrape together 200 for her. I'll be counting on you for food from now on."
"Holy crap..." Ye Chengjiang stared at him in disbelief, "I support your wife and kids, and I have to support you too... You're asking me to support your whole family of three? You're making absurd claims on my face."
"Hehe, it's just a transition period."
Ye Chengjiang tried to dodge Ye Chenghe's arm around his shoulder, but Ye Chenghe wouldn't let go and held him tightly.
"Your child calls you 'Dad' too, so just think of it as giving money to your child and try to be more positive."
"But you and your wife don't call me Dad..."
"Then I can call you Dad now. Consider the money I gave you as a change of address fee, and you don't need to pay it back."
"You son of a bitch, get the hell out of here."
"Hurry up and give me the money. I'll pay you back slowly after I rent the tractor."
"You son of a bitch, you eat my food, spend my money, and then keep your own money to pay me back."
"Isn't this perfect? Now I have the money to pay you back..."
Ye Chengjiang was shocked by his shamelessness.
P.S.: I will update one chapter as usual during the day tomorrow.
