Chapter 116: Making a comeback, so brave!
Tan's mother explained the situation to them clearly when she came back. She was mentally prepared. Even if she was shocked, she could still accept it.
The only thing about occupying the fields was discussed a lot, which made them feel very embarrassed.
Tan Shaobei licked his hair and said with a frown: "It doesn't sound good to be told that we occupy the fields!"
Tan Shaonan nodded, "Indeed. , we didn’t want to take advantage, we were just afraid that others would misunderstand!”
Mother Tan waved her hands carelessly, "Shaojie is still young and will have to study for many years to come. Even if he is working on the fields, the money he earns will be saved for him."
"Even if there are rumors flying all over the sky, , you still have to make money, otherwise where will the money come from to support Shaojie’s education?”
“After all, it’s us who failed him, and it’s normal to make up for it more. You don’t have to listen to other people’s gossip, discuss these things? It stopped in two days. "
It's just that the third child made money and made them jealous. There was no place to relax, so they had to find ways to exclude him.
As long as you behave calmly, you can let go of this matter.
So what if we discuss it?
There is no missing piece of meat.
Tan's mother has said so. She has nothing to say when she is a son. They were able to grow up safely, and now they are married and have children. It is all the credit of their parents. Naturally, they have no complaints against them.
Sister-in-law Tan has a gentle personality and a weak sense of presence. She has no objection to this matter. After all, the family is separated and she can live a good life. Naturally, she has no objection to the elder brother taking care of his lost son.
The second sister-in-law Tan had an idea, but she didn't dare to mention it. Although she wanted the second elder to help her, she just thought about it and knew it was impossible. The third elder was not married yet, so she would stick to him no matter what.
Since it’s something that has nothing to do with you, go ahead if you love it!
The third child didn’t have any objections, so she didn’t bother to make people uncomfortable!
After this incident, new news attracted attention. Small fishing villages were experiencing droughts one after another. Without strong winds and waves, the villagers were miserable.
The fish they picked up were just enough to feed their mouths. They were starving to death. There was no valuable fish. If they couldn’t sell it, they couldn’t make any money. Everyone was complaining all day long.
At this moment, Lao Tie came back with a batch of goods.
The person who had been disappearing suddenly returned, causing turmoil in the small fishing village. After all, the previous troubles were still fresh in his mind!
When the old stubborn man and others heard the news, they went directly to block the person. They were mentally prepared in advance. No matter how sweet he said, they could no longer be deceived by him.
Lao Tie is also very courageous. He even dared to come back openly without paying back the money he deceived the villagers. You have to admire his courage.
When the old stubborn man and others passed by, he happened to see him heading towards the seaside. He finally caught the man and could not let him go, so he hurriedly followed behind him.
As soon as I got close to him, I saw that he was wearing weird clothes, carrying a big jar behind him, and wearing a weird mask on his face.
Before he could ask, he swam into the sea.
The old stubborn man was puzzled. He grabbed the person next to him and asked, "What weird thing is this kid doing again?"
"The tricks are used to deceive people one after another. This You treat others like fools!”
“I hid out during the Chinese New Year and thought I would never come back, but I didn’t expect that I actually dared to come back!”
The same goes for the villagers! Not knowing anything about it, they came over to join in the fun, "He said that his equipment can dive to the bottom of the sea and catch fish. I don't know whether it is true or not, but he is right."
"Now that I have tried it myself, let's just wait here for a while. Whether it is true or false, we will understand after seeing it."
The old stubborn man was also surprised after hearing this, and planned to wait here and watch. If it’s really that effective, you don’t have to ask anyone to lose money. Just get a set of equipment!
If he had to pay for it, he wouldn’t be able to afford it in the year of the monkey, so he might as well use something as a mortgage.
After waiting for 20 minutes, I saw him swimming up to the surface of the water. There were also a few small green dragons weighing 70 to 80 pounds in the net bag. These things are in the deep sea area and are not easy to catch because they are agile.
Of course, it can also be sold at a good price.
In the current dry weather, it is extremely rare to see a small green dragon.
Lao Tie carefully took off his mask and clothes, took a breath, and then walked around in front of everyone with the mesh bag, "Everyone, come and see, is the little green dragon jumping around here?"< br>
“This set of equipment of mine allows everyone to go down to the deep sea to catch fish. It stores the oxygen that people need and ensures that people will not suffer from hypoxia in the deep sea.”
“Now The weather is dry and you can’t find valuable leftovers, so you have to find ways to make money. I got this thing after much tossing and turning, just to make it easier for everyone to make money.”
The villagers obviously didn’t believe him. They were still deeply impressed by the old stubborn man's experience of being deceived, "You want to trick people again, we are all from the same village, so we are not afraid of having our legs broken."
"This little green dragon of yours couldn't have been placed somewhere in the corner, waiting for you to dive into the water to get it directly!"
"This thing is so agile, you can catch it if you want."
>Lao Tie was silent for a while. Seeing their wary looks, Lao Tie didn't worry. He poured the little green dragon into the bucket and left it, planning to dive into the sea again.
"Just wait and see. I'll go down again. Just open your eyes and see if I can pick up some fish?"
After that, Lao Tie went into the sea again. .
Only the villagers on the shore were left talking about it.
“I really didn’t see him popping up. Can this thing really dive into the deep sea?”
“If I can pick up seven or eight small green dragons in one trip, I’ll still have several dollars. You can make more than 100 yuan in one month!”
“You are just imagining it. Is this thing so easy to pick up? It’s so fast! , I'm afraid this iron is very powerful!"
"Let's see if he can catch it again! This thing doesn't look very reliable, and it doesn't look like we can use it! ”
"That's right. If it's too expensive and you really can't afford it, your pockets will be empty."
"Don't be afraid, there are so many people here! Let's take a look. When he asked us to buy it, Just do what you can!"
The villagers didn't care about Lao Tie's presence, and just discussed what was needed. Anyway, Lao Tie has a criminal record, so it's normal for them to be wary.
After waiting for a while, Lao Tie grabbed the little green dragon and came up again. He really tried his best, but he was very tired as soon as he landed.
In order to make everyone believe in him, he really worked hard.
"Did you see? I'm not deceiving you now, are I?"
"I went down with an empty mesh bag, but there was nothing in it."
"Deep Sea There are indeed a lot of valuable goods in the area. With these equipment, you can make money in a matter of minutes. It won’t matter whether it rains or not.”
The old stubborn man rubbed his palms eagerly. He took two steps forward and said, "Since what you said is right, I'll go down and give it a try." It can expose your face." He picked it up and put it aside, trying to put on the new equipment.
I caught him with his sharp eyes and quick hands, "Wait a minute, I'll take off my clothes for you to try, don't show off my new equipment."
"These are mine. I bought it for a lot of money. If you blame me and break it, I won’t even be able to cry.”
The old stubborn man didn’t bother to pay attention to him. He said, "Don't worry, I want a new set. If you want to survive in the village, you have to pay off your debt."
"My money can't be wasted. If you pay, just use this set of equipment to pay for it! In this way, we will be settled, and I won’t say anything whether it’s a profit or a loss.”
"You'd better give it to me, otherwise I'll definitely have to take that pig you raised to pay for it again."
In full view of everyone, Lao Tie couldn't resist him at all, and he had a reputation for being stubborn. Not for nothing, he has a very stubborn personality.
Lao Tie only deceives people into being tough, but does not dare to fight. How can he dare to confront such a arrogant and stubborn person head-on?
I could only watch him take off his shirt and pants, put on the equipment, and when he was ready, he had to explain to him how to use it. It really made me angry just thinking about it.
Lao Tie gritted his teeth, fearing that his equipment would be taken away, and he did not dare to put it outside, so he hurriedly pushed it home.
As for the lobbyists, they will become more convincing once the old stubborn man catches the fish.
When we returned, the old stubborn man did come up. He was tired and out of breath. Diving was really strenuous work. His old arms and legs could hardly move.
But it is still rewarding. I caught a few large octopuses and sold them for a few dollars.
The three people next to him saw it with envy, especially since they had been tricked by Lao Tie, and they also had wild imaginations.
"Old Tie, you can't favor one over the other. The old stubborn man can get a set of equipment, but you can't rely on ours! Prepare a set for each of us."
They were all defrauded of their money. There is no reason why the stubborn old man can get it back. They can't get it back. If this was the case, they wouldn't do it.
Lao Tie's face was dark and he retorted without thinking, "Just think about it, my equipment is expensive!"
"I can only give you one set for the three of you. Take it if you don’t want it, I’ll give you a few hundred yuan worth of equipment, it’s impossible for you to have one.” They can't be as stubborn as the old stubborn man, and they can only compromise, one day at most.
"Hurry and get it, one set is enough, you can't let me take advantage of you."
Lao Tie gritted his teeth and finally waved his hands and said, "Wait here, I'll ask my mother to get it."
I haven't made any money yet, so I just gave out two sets of equipment. He was so distressed that he was almost bleeding, but what could he do? These people were stubborn and had no choice but to give.
The three of them were not in a hurry to try the equipment after they got it. Instead, they wanted to sell it. After all, there was only one set of equipment. Others would have opinions about who to give it to, so they might as well exchange money and share it equally!
“Let’s sell it!”
“To whom?”
"Brothers Tan Laosan, Zhang Yishui, and Xu Qiang can do it. They just made a few hundred yuan, and they are the richest."
"Is it possible? How much should we sell it for?"
"Two hundred yuan, okay?"
As soon as they said they would act, the three of them planned to find someone.
I happened to bump into Old Stubborn. He was holding a few large octopuses and planned to sell them to Tan Shaoyang. He would not be willing to eat them himself. They were so big and he had to keep them in exchange for money.
For home-cooked food, you can at most dig some clams and make a pot of porridge with shrimps and crabs. The taste is very fresh, so there is no need to be greedy for this stuff.
“If you don’t go down and give it a try, where are you going?”
The three of them said in unison, “We plan to sell this thing and divide the money equally. From now on, it will be the world of young people. , we with old arms and legs don’t want to get involved.”
“If you want fish, you must dive into the deep sea, but if you don’t have the courage to swim there, you will be too tired to swim back. !”
The old stubborn man slapped his thigh with a look of regret, “Why didn’t I think of this? If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to the sea to sell it!”
It was so ruined that my intestines turned green.
I swam down and came back again. I was exhausted and out of breath. It would be better to sell it for money.
I just blame my brain for not being clear enough. Why didn’t I think of this?
He has worn them all, and if he sells them, others will no longer care about them.
Thinking about it, the four of them arrived outside Tan's house.
Tan Shaoyang didn't want to go out at all except for the cool days in the morning and evening. The ultraviolet rays at the beach were strong and the sun was so intense that he couldn't hide from it at home.
Hearing a knock on the door, several people pushed the door open and entered.
Tan Shaoyang was stunned for a moment when he saw them. They went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing and didn’t know why they came. “Uncle, is something wrong?”
The old stubborn man said, “Catch him. How many octopuses are there, do you want to take them?"
Tan Shaoyang took a look and decided to take them. He was at home, so there was no reason not to take them if he had fish.
Weigh the goods and give money.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, very decisive!
In the past few months when he was away from home, the fish products he received were limited to sea cucumbers, abalones, and clams. Tan A'nai helped collect all these that could be dried.
After cleaning it and drying it, Tan Shaoyang came back when he was free and took it to the town to sell it.
This can be regarded as a considerable amount of income. Tan A Nai is naturally very dedicated. She makes money for her grandson who she has raised. How can she not be diligent?
As a result, after harvesting the fish, they all still lingered, obviously with other purposes. "Uncle, is there anything else?"
The three of them came up and looked at him with smiles and said, " Lao Tie came back with diving equipment. We were defrauded of money earlier, so he compensated us for one set. "
"In order to prevent uneven distribution, the three of us planned to sell it. If you have old arms and legs, you don’t want to make this hard-earned money anymore. You are young and strong, why don’t you sell it to you?”
“Your old stubborn uncle has tried it himself and it can really last for a long time. You can also catch fish from the bottom of the sea while diving. Lao Tie caught several small green dragons!”
“Do you want to buy them?”
Tan Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and then figured it out. It turned out that Lao Tie was back and was messing with the diving equipment.
Tan Shaoyang looked at the equipment they brought over. Different from the simple ones in the past, the current ones were much heavier.
Even young people are exhausted when carrying this heavy equipment into the sea!
Hurryly waved his hands and refused, "Uncle, you can find someone else. I'm lazy and can't afford the money."
