Chapter 1629 Urging
Ye Xiaoxi asked eagerly, "Dad, what about me? What will I do? My eldest brother went to sea, my second brother works in a factory, so what will I do?"
"You just sit at home and play with your sister."
"Okay, okay, then I'll get a salary too, right?"
Ye Yaodong was speechless, while Director Chen burst into laughter.
"You're just playing around, and you still expect a salary?"
"So, brother, you're just going to sea for fun, why are you getting paid?"
"He was helping out at sea!"
"Then I need to help too. You asked me to assign tasks, and you said I could just play with my sister. Of course I should get paid. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that you won't let me."
It made such a good point that he couldn't refute it.
Ye Chenghu protested, "You're just playing around, and you still want a salary? We're all working so hard, and you're enjoying yourself while you want to get paid! Dream on!"
"Your opinion doesn't count; Father's opinion does."
Ye Yaodong had nothing to say, so he changed the subject.
That brat really knows how to think.
Today is Sunday, a day off, and Director Chen and his wife are both resting at home with nothing to do. So he stayed a little longer with his three children and helped carry the bluefin tuna to be processed.
The three children played with other children in the yard, and after the meal, there were more children in the family compound.
Ye Chengyang found his old playmates and dumped out the whole bag of toys they had brought, showing them his skills. He was extremely satisfied, receiving a chorus of "Wow!" from them.
This is only a part of his collection; it's inconvenient to bring more than that. There are many more fun things at home, which makes his friends extremely envious.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Xiaoxi added that their family had all sorts of fun activities, including beachcombing, where you could dig up lots of seafood right outside the door – it was so much fun!
Some families have dozens of dogs, and they even take a large group of dogs to the beach to catch seafood.
The children in the compound listened with shining eyes, wishing they could go home with them.
So much so that when Ye Yaodong was about to take them away in the afternoon, the three children were not reluctant to part with them, but the other children in the compound were unhappy that they were leaving.
Finally, they agreed to come back next time before reluctantly letting them go.
Ye Chengyang: "Dad, when are we coming again next time?"
"I don't know. When I have time and come back, I'll bring you all here again."
Ye Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yaodong hesitantly: "Dad, shall we go to the department store now?"
"The sun has already set, and they close at 4:30. I'll take you there tomorrow morning and we'll go home in the afternoon."
Ye Chenghu cheered happily, "Great! I can take a day off and not have to study!"
"Look at you, so ambitious! Do you think you'll ever get into college?"
"I didn't say I wanted to go to university!"
Ye Yaodong raised his foot to kick him, but he nimbly ran forward a few steps to dodge it, and then said cheerfully, "So, are we going back to the factory now?"
"Ah."
"Dad, how about you teach me to drive a tractor? My arms and legs are long enough, I can reach it."
“Sure, if you want to learn, then learn. There are a lot of people on the road here, so you can sit next to me and watch how to drive. I’ll explain it to you. Once we get to the factory area, the roadside will be more open, and then you can start driving.”
"Yeah."
Ye Chengyang was envious and wanted to learn from him, but when he looked at his short legs, he realized he needed to eat more and grow taller.
Ye Chenghu continued to push his luck, "Dad, when we get home, could you teach me how to ride a motorcycle?"
"I don't have time to stay for so many days. Wait until I come back for the New Year, then your grandpa will teach you. You want to learn everything all at once? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
"Hehe, first I'll learn to drive a tractor, then a motorcycle, and then my cousin will teach me to drive a big truck!"
"That's a good idea."
Ye Chengyang said with envy and jealousy, "Brother, you're lucky you even have a bicycle to ride."
"I'll teach you once I've learned it."
"That can."
Ye Xiaoxi asked, "Dad, when are you leaving again? Can you wait until we have our holidays before you leave together?"
"I won't stay that long, at most a week. I'll leave once I've finished my business. I'll have your grandpa come back for a few days then, just in time for your summer vacation, so he can take you with him."
"OK then."
Ye Yaodong returned to the factory to check the accounts, took care of everything, and then met with A Cai again the next day for a meal before going back.
Even after arriving home, he didn't have a moment to rest. He checked on the progress of the house construction, chatted with the village head and secretary, drank some wine, and reminisced about the past.
Then, without stopping, he went to Wenzhou to sell the shares.
Fang Jingfu offered 600 million yuan to buy out his 20% stake, a price that was within his acceptable range. He signed the agreement on the spot, and then the two of them went to have it notarized.
Ye Yaodong went to the bank to open an account, and 600 million was directly transferred into his account.
They parted amicably, without any heated arguments, which both of them found incredibly unbelievable.
Fang Jingfu said with some emotion, "To be honest, I've thought before that if I kicked you out, we'd probably end up not even being friends anymore, or we might even try to destroy each other."
"I considered many possibilities, but I never imagined it could end so peacefully, with everyone happily spending their money..."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and replied, "So you happily spent money to send me away, right?"
"Hehe, they say it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. I never expected that he would not even look at me or care about me for several years, and now he just takes the money and leaves so easily. I thought the best outcome would be a lot of wrangling, at least half a year would be considered short, and I was prepared for a year or two of wrangling."
"Thank me, it's good that you met me. Others wouldn't have let go of the goose that lays the golden eggs so easily."
"Yes, thank you. It's good that you've made a fortune elsewhere, probably a lot of money, and don't care about this little bit, so you can take the money and let go so easily."
Ye Yaodong nodded and admitted directly, "That's right, I made my fortune elsewhere. As for here, I just did it on the side, I didn't expect to hold onto it for life, after all, I'm an outsider."
"Of course, if I'm going to be poor forever, I'll have to keep struggling no matter what. Even if you kick me out, I'll still have to bite off a piece of my flesh."
Fang Jingfu smiled and poured him another cup of tea. "Then I have to thank you for making a fortune. You don't even care about my little bit of money."
"I still think it's worth it. Even though I'm making money elsewhere, I can still earn a considerable amount here every year. The main thing is that I want to part ways amicably. Money is good, but friends are just as important. The main reason is that I don't have that much energy to switch industries. It's better to take a cut and leave, and work on other related products that I'm familiar with. It might not be worse than sticking to this place."
Fang Jingfu was moved by his words, saying, "Don't worry, you'll always be my brother. If you ever have any difficulties, just let me know. If it's within my power, I'll definitely help you get it done."
"Same."
That evening, the two had a nice farewell dinner. The next day, Ye Yaodong took a boat back home and entrusted him with the task of renting out the house.
The twins had been working for several years, and their wives were locals. They didn't plan to move, so he asked Fang Jingfu to help take care of them.
When he returned home and handed Lin Xiuqing the gleaming 600 million yuan in the bankbook, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth and her eyes widened.
"so much?"
"Well, his price is fair enough, it's not bad. If he buys it outright, he'll make a profit anyway."
"Then we've made a profit. We didn't invest much money to begin with, and we've already made back dozens of times our initial investment. Now we've added such a large sum, so it's a return of hundreds of times."
"Hmm, I'll think about what to do with this money when I get back."
"Go back?" Lin Xiuqing frowned. "If we go back to Zhou City, then home is considered outside?"
"Oh, what? No, that's not true. I just thought that since the ship and the factory are both on the top, the center of gravity is there, so it sounds easier to say it that way."
"Ha ha……"
Lin Xiuqing was a little angry that he couldn't distinguish between home and outside. He was being called back from somewhere else, so what did home mean to him?
"It's not that they've set up another home outside. Don't think I don't know. Many people have one home in the village and another outside. There are several of them among your cousins alone. Don't think I don't know anything."
"No, how did you know? I didn't know, how did you know?"
Ye Yaodong wasn't really sure, since he wasn't living in the headquarters dormitory anymore, but in the processing plant.
I've been busy at sea for the past few months, and I haven't had a moment's rest either; I've been extremely busy.
"You do not know?"
"What could I possibly know? I'm busy every day, constantly on the sea, either chasing debts or visiting shipyards. I'm so busy I don't even have time to sleep. How could I possibly keep track of what anyone is doing? How could you possibly know?"
"How else would I know? Of course, it's because the couple had a fight, and then they brought it up, and everyone would know."
"I think that's unlikely. It's probably just you women being paranoid. How can you know everything when no one has even been up there?"
If it were true, everyone would keep quiet and help each other. Now that there are no cell phones to check up on people, and they are far away, he really doesn't believe that these women have all the connections and know everything.
Lin Xiuqing sneered, "Ha, when you're being intimate, you hug your wife and call her Cuihong, and when you're half asleep in the middle of the night, you call Yingzi to pour you water..."
"Damn it, he deserves to die. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Shouldn't we beat him to death? His wife is lying next to him, yet he's calling out another woman's name. He deserves to die. He works himself to the bone at sea every day, and he still has energy? That means he's not tired enough. Damn it, I've never heard of that before."
Damn it, he knew it. How could one betray another? Only the person who slipped up would do that. Otherwise, how would the women in the family know when the emperor is so far away?
Damn it, he got dragged into this too. He's completely innocent. Every day he's so tired that when he closes his eyes, he has no thoughts at all and just wants to sleep.
Seeing that she wanted to say something more, Ye Yaodong immediately interrupted her, "If you're worried, leave the housework to Mother and come upstairs with me."
“I’d love for you to come up with me, so I don’t have to be a monk every day. I’m only in my early thirties, but people say I’m celibate.”
"It just so happens that both of your sons want to come with me. No, my daughter also wants to go up and keep Pei Yu company. The whole family wants to go, so let's go together?"
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. "This isn't about asking your whole family to go with you; it's like saying you're getting a divorce, giving me the son and taking the daughter."
"Nonsense, all three are mine. Don't even think about it."
Lin Xiuqing grabbed his soft flesh and twisted it hard at a 90-degree angle.
Ye Yaodong's face contorted in pain as he hissed, "Stop! It's turning blue!"
"Don't leave me a single one!"
"Damn it, you really want to divorce me? If you want to divorce me, I won't give you a single thing!"
Lin Xiuqing twisted even harder, "Don't even think about it! I'd rather die in your house."
Ye Yaodong slapped her hand away, pulled her down to lie down, and then rolled over and pressed himself on top of her.
"So what if you die in my house? You might as well die in my bed."
Lin Xiuqing punched him a few times, "You can die if you want, I don't want to die, I want to be a rich widow."
"Don't even think about it, we'll die together."
A moment later, the springs on the bed began to creak and groan softly, while Ye Yaodong continued to curse.
"Do you want to die? Do you want to die? Fine, die! How about this?"
Suddenly, with a snap, Ye Yaodong's knee sank into a small hole...
The springs in the Simmons mattress collapsed under his weight.
"Damn it, what kind of quality is this? It's a piece of junk, it's collapsed."
Lin Xiuqing propped herself up to take a look and touched everything.
"It collapsed? It's all your fault! Why did you use so much force? You crushed the bed! How am I supposed to sleep now that it's sunken in like this?"
"I'm not trying to make you feel so good you die. Let's see if you still can't die. Move aside and ignore it for now."
Before she could move, Ye Yaodong lifted her buttocks and moved her to the side.
After he finished his business, he checked the small hole that had collapsed.
"I'm awesome, I even broke the bed!"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "How dare you say that? What are we going to do now?"
"I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy a new one."
"Never mind, I'll just put a small piece of cloth down there later. When it gets warmer in a few days and we're ready to lay down mats, it won't be so noticeable then."
"Then let's wait until the old house is finished and we need to buy furniture, then we can buy it all together and ship it back together, which will save us some trouble."
"Yes, we can buy them together later. This won't affect our sleep."
"It was perfectly fine, but it still collapsed. The little ones were jumping around on this bed before, and it didn't collapse. Am I that strong?"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, "Stop trying to make yourself look good. It's broad daylight, so get out of here. You're just trying to be polite, but you suddenly become shameless."
“I’m doing this to show that I’m loyal and different from others. Help me pack my luggage. I should be leaving tomorrow. I’ve been back for a week, and if I don’t go up soon, my dad will be nagging me to death.”
“I’ve been away from home for two days. Dad has called twice to come back, but Grandma answered and scolded him twice. He just told me to call him back when I come back.”
"Okay, I'll call him right away."
They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed; that's how it is. They had a fight and then everything was over.
Ye Yaodong dressed and came out of the house refreshed to call his father.
Before his father could speak, he said directly, "Don't nag. I'll leave home tomorrow. I just finished taking care of all my important business today. Once I get there, you can come back and stay at home for ten days to half a month."
Ye's father swallowed back all the words he was about to say, and then said in a gentle tone, "Alright, I'll go back after you come up. I'll stay at home for a few more days. It's been so long, the main structure of the house should be almost finished."
"It's almost finished. Next, we need to build the framework. It's good for you to come back and take a look. You can also tell the foreman if you have any requirements."
"Good." Father Ye was satisfied.
As people age, they hope to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable retirement, and owning a house becomes their top priority.
Now, all Ye's father can think about is his beautiful villa, and he just wants to go home as soon as possible to take a look at it.
The old house and villa were just a framework, but they looked quite impressive, especially compared to the surrounding low, dilapidated tile-roofed houses, they stood out like cranes among chickens.
Each of their households has a considerable residential area, calculated based on the area reserved for single-story houses, not including the yard or any previously reserved private land; each house is at least 100 square meters.
The villagers come to their house every day to check on the progress and say a few words. They care about the progress of the house more than the villagers themselves.
If he runs into Ye's mother, he'll chat with her for a bit, saying that when he has money in the future, he'll build a house like hers, and that she should keep the blueprints so that everyone can have a reference.
When Ye's mother encountered such people, she would smile from ear to ear, patting her chest and promising that she would copy the blueprints for them so that every household could build a grand house.
Everyone was happy to hear this; it was all a wonderful expectation.
When Ye's father returned, things got even more interesting. From the moment he opened his eyes until he closed them to sleep, he stayed in the house. During the day, he assisted his master, and at night, he would often stay there and sleep on the floor.
He always boasts about how filial his sons are, saying that when they make money, they build him a mansion, with the third son paying for the construction and the eldest and second sons responsible for the decoration.
Hearing others praise his three sons, he smiled sweeter than if he had drunk honey.
Going home for a visit made me feel 5 years younger.
If the house hadn't taken so long to finish, and if there weren't still a lot of people in Zhoushan calling him President Ye, he wouldn't have wanted to leave.
The three biggest obsessions of men in southern Fujian are: making a fortune, building a big house, and marrying a concubine.
He couldn't marry his second aunt; he had already achieved that through his sons.
He himself was reluctant to leave, but his whole family kept urging him to leave quickly.
From the old to the young, everyone was urging him every day, asking him when he was leaving.
Ye's father was also pressured into having no choice but to accept it. He felt like he was superfluous, and his only purpose was to work for them, moving wherever he was needed.
The old lady felt sorry for Dongzi, who was too busy to manage everything upstairs by himself. Ye's mother found it irritating to see him snoring and farting at home every day, acting like a lord.
Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to urge him, so she kept quiet and only occasionally asked him for small favors.
The three little ones are really pushing us hard; they started urging us from the very first day of our vacation after the exams.
"Sir, when are we leaving?"
"You've been at home for so long, when are we going to go find Dad?"
"Can we go a little earlier? We're leaving tomorrow."
Ye's father glared at the three who kept pestering him with questions all day long. "What's the rush? I've only been back for a week, how can it be many days? Your dad said I could stay at home for ten days or half a month, it's still early. You guys wait and see, what are you rushing me for? If you keep rushing me, I won't take you with me anymore."
Ye Chenghu: "My dad was just saying that. You actually believed him. If you don't leave, he'll call and yell at you."
Ye Chengyang: "Grandpa, let's leave soon. Grandma keeps telling you to leave, but you still won't go."
Father Ye: "Stop nagging, or I'll sneak away in the middle of the night without you knowing!"
Ye Chenghu: "If you sneak away in the middle of the night, I'll tell Grandma you've hidden a gold ingot in my house!"
Father Ye: "!!!"
Mr. Ye stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How did you know?"
"I saw you dig a hole and bury something under my doghouse in the middle of the night before Chinese New Year!"
Ye Chengyang added, "I also saw Congratulations on your good fortune digging it out, and then we went downstairs in the middle of the night to help you bury it back!"
"You saw it upstairs?"
Ye Chenghu nodded, "Yes, I got up to pee in the middle of the night and saw that the window wasn't closed properly, so I got up to close it and saw it!"
“My brother thought it was a thief and was so scared that he woke me up. Then I noticed that the dogs weren’t barking and were circling around you. That’s when we realized it was you. We even discussed burying you back in the ground and asking them not to dig you up again.”
"You two little brats know quite a lot, and you've been keeping it all inside for so long!"
The two brothers exchanged a glance. Ye Chenghu scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "We forgot about it after we woke up from a nap. We didn't think about it after that, and we just remembered it now."
"Don't tell me. That was originally given to me by your father. I was thinking of rebuilding the old house, so I had to take it out and hide it here."
Seeing that nothing had been exposed in the past six months, Ye's father trusted his two sons quite a bit, but he stared at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "You're not allowed to tell anyone either, understand?"
Ye Xiaoxi nodded, "Then you have to take us up there tomorrow!"
"Three days, I'll take you away in three days, okay? Your dad gave me half a month's leave, so for your sake, I'll leave four days early, okay?"
The three whispered among themselves for a moment before sending Ye Chenghu to speak.
"Alright then, we'll leave in three days. Make sure you check with the boat in advance, otherwise you might find out there's no boat available later."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Father Ye was thinking that he should dig out the gold ingots and hide them in a different place, but since the dog had already dug them out, it was too risky.
It must have been those dogs who watched him bury it at night, so they dug it up right after he left. Luckily, the two brothers buried it back in.
These bastards.
Once Ye Xiaoxi found out when she would be leaving, she happily went to inform her friends.
Father Ye pulled his two sons aside and continued muttering, "Are you sure you're going to bury it back for me?"
"Of course, otherwise if it were exposed outside, Mother would have known long ago and confiscated it."
Mr. Ye was a little uneasy. It was hard to say. If Lin Xiuqing found out, she would just quietly put it away.
After much deliberation, he decided that he would dig it up after going to bed that night, and then secretly return it to Lin Xiuqing the next day so that she could keep it.
It was originally given to him by Dongzi to play with, but he's had his fill of it, and now that there's nowhere to hide it, it's best to return it to its rightful owner.
They built a big villa, which cost the couple a lot of money, and this thing is still being returned to them.
Otherwise, if it stays in his hands and his two sisters-in-law see it, they'll have to divide it up when he's gone.
