Chapter 1216 Quarrel(2/3)
The family's tomb sweeping had already delayed their request for tomb cakes. Now that it was over, they had to hurry up and get to the scene.
As they walked down the mountain, they also asked Ye Yaodong to calculate the money they had just given out so that they could distribute it among their brothers.
Originally, Uncle Ye wanted the three brothers from the older generation to share in three parts, but Uncle Ye disagreed.
"I only have one son now, and you all have three or five, so wouldn't I be at a disadvantage again? Anyway, they are all married and have separated their families. It's up to their brothers to share it equally, and we are all half
How can we divide it among the three of us if we have our feet in the ground?"
Erbo Ye said: "The repair of the tomb will be shared equally by our three families, so won't the expenses for visiting the tomb also be shared by our three families?"
"You have more grandchildren, and the money you just received is also more. If you share less, you will get more. Of course you say so."
"Originally, we three brothers should be divided equally, but we are going to the grave of our biological father. So if my son has more children, I still suffer a loss? I have to pay more? How can this make sense."
Father Ye had a headache watching them arguing back and forth, "It's not much money, just thirty yuan. We are getting old. In a few years we won't be able to walk or climb the mountain. In the future, we will definitely have to go to the grave with our brothers."
.”
"If we divide it among nine brothers, it only costs 4 yuan per person. That's it. It's just a grave visit once a year. There's nothing to argue about. Whoever's in trouble has more trouble, let's give in."
"From now on, the two brothers will have to visit the grave. There's nothing wrong with dividing their heads equally, that's all."
Ye Yaodong immediately echoed his father's words. He didn't care about this. It was just a small amount of money. He would support whatever his father said.
"I have no objection."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also quickly agreed, "Then just listen to dad, we don't have any objections."
Uncle Ye had already dug into his pocket and handed 4 yuan to Ye Yaodong, intending to settle down.
Brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also said quickly: "Dongzi, we will give you the money when we get back. We don't have that kind of money with us."
"Give it to dad. He has prepared all our sacrifices. After you calculate it, give it to him and he will keep it for me first."
Uncle Ye saw that both of them had no objections. Thinking that Ye Yaodong had to help give the number, he accepted it.
"Okay then, let's count you brothers."
Father Ye didn't expect such a good thing. Dongzi spent money and he received money.
With a smile, he quickly put down the burden of the sacrifices and asked Ye Yaopeng to pick them up while he waited to collect the money.
However, several members of Uncle Ye's family also complained that they didn't have that much money with them and said they would get it together when they got back.
After entering the village, Uncle Ye and the others all followed Ye Yaodong instead of going to their own homes, saying they would get the number first.
Ye Yaodong followed them, gave him the number, and let them do whatever they wanted.
But he also reminded me.
"Today is the Qingming Festival. Lao Hai must have gone back to his hometown to visit his graves in the past two days. You should not be able to find anyone if you call now."
"Ah, yes, let's wait two days before making a call."
"Um."
Uncle Ye hesitated for a moment, said nothing, took the number and left.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua each took 4 yuan at this time and handed it to Father Ye.
Father Ye had already reached out to take it, but Mother Ye took it away.
"What kind of money is this? Why did each of you give 4 yuan to your father?"
The two brothers looked at each other, and Ye Yaopeng hesitated whether to say that Dongzi paid and his father received the money.
I wonder if his father will be scolded.
Ye Yaohua said honestly: "This is the money Dongzi gave us when we were sweeping the tomb and dividing the tomb cakes. We brothers shared it together, 4 yuan per person."
"So much? Why give it to your father?"
Father Ye snatched the money from her hand and said, "Dongzi asked me to keep it for him first, and then we can send the boat to him later to refuel and add ice. We will go to sea tomorrow night."
Ye Yaodong burst out laughing after hearing this. His father's excuse was so clever that it was difficult for him to think so quickly at the moment.
When Ye Mu heard that this was done for a reason, she didn't say anything.
Father Ye quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, sat down to eat naturally, poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to the somewhat confused boss and laoer.
"It should be good weather tomorrow. You should prepare yourself and go to sea at night."
"Oh, okay."
"You all go back to eat, what are you doing here stupidly? I'll stew the chicken and duck tonight, and I'll fill a bowl for you, just in time to make up for the trip to the sea."
"oh."
Ye's mother was curious about how Uncle Ye had just come over to ask for Lao Hai's number. She left the matter of Ye's father collecting money behind and turned to ask Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong told her the story.
Mother Ye slammed the table, "Okay, let's talk about how I have been hearing recently that he is asking people to find out if they have taken people to work abroad."
"The ambition is very big. I even have this idea, why not just stay at home? Who knows whether it will work, whether the person I find is reliable, and what if the money is wasted?"
Ye Yaodong said matter-of-factly: "That's why they set their sights on Lao Hai. They have also met so many overseas Chinese in their hometown, and they feel that our family is capable and there is a higher chance of asking our family for help."
"I know how to figure it out all day long, and the relatives I just met want to take advantage of it."
He shook his shoulders and said nothing.
"Sending someone abroad costs a lot of money, right? Can they afford it?"
"Who knows, it's none of our business anyway."
"Yes, it's none of our business. If you give them the number, they can contact them themselves. If they ask you to borrow money, you don't want to borrow it."
"I went to sea at night and was not at home."
Ye Mu quickly turned to Ah Qing and told Ah Qing, "Don't borrow it. If they come to borrow money, you can say that Ah Dong is not here and you can't make the decision, or you can say that you have booked another boat and you don't have any money."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Why are you so afraid of them borrowing money? I feel like I am facing a formidable enemy."
"Your second uncle is a very good man. As the saying goes, the boss is evil, the second is a treacherous person, and the third is stupid..."
Father Ye was not happy to hear this, "How did you say that?"
Mother Ye glanced at him and continued: "If you borrow it, you may never get it back. Then the excuse will be that I am working outside and it is inconvenient to remit money. It will take a few years."
"It's the uncle who owes the money. Why should I spend my hard-earned money on others? I can't bear to spend it myself, so why should I borrow it? Just keep it and spend it myself. No one should borrow it."
Father Ye said: "Then if I really ask for help, you can't push it away. Don't say it's too much, just give me a little. Everyone knows that our family is rich, and they also go abroad for their children..."
"He left his mother's country and smuggled across the country. If he was caught, he wouldn't be able to pay back the money if he was sent back to his country. I don't want to lend money to outsiders..."
"You are biased."
"I'm just biased against them."
"It's none of your business, I didn't borrow money from you..."
"You can't borrow it from my son. I've already defrauded my two sons. It's two thousand yuan, and I don't know if they will be able to pay it back in their lifetime."
Father Ye threw down his chopsticks unhappily, "Then their family is already very miserable, and they are also my brothers. You can't force them to die."
"Then it's true that they owe money."
"You have no humanity at all. You are my brother after all. If you were your own brother or sister, would you still be so harsh? I think you would have borrowed money from your own money."
"Then my brothers and sisters are not so deceitful and scheming."
"As for you brothers and sisters, your mind is as small as the tip of a needle and you remember everything."
"I'm just being petty. If you're big-minded and generous, you borrow. Anyway, he's your brother. If you have money, you can borrow it yourself. I'll see how much money you have to borrow..."
Father Ye was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "I haven't even asked for a loan yet, so you are afraid of this."
"I'm not afraid, I'm just just in case. Do you dare to think that they can get the money to smuggle someone out of the country? I heard that it costs thousands of dollars to send someone abroad."
"You haven't even asked me to borrow it yet. You're still talking here."
"I'm saying this in advance to save you all from being so loose-minded. Think about it, how long does it take an average family to save a few thousand yuan? How many years does it take for an average family to save? Why should I borrow it? My money is blown away by the wind?"
"I've already said it, and I didn't ask you to borrow it. You are very funny, and you keep talking. I haven't done anything, and you are just talking here and there."
"Would you like a bet? If they don't come to borrow money, I'll chop off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on."
Father Ye had nothing to say. He also believed that there was a high probability that Uncle Ye would come to borrow money.
But he felt that it was not a bad thing to work abroad. Not to mention borrowing a lot, as relatives, each family would help borrow a little. Isn't this also the right thing to do?
As for such a big reaction? It's not like Ye Yaohong did at the beginning, they were here to defraud money, they were sending their grandson to work abroad.
Moreover, my family is not poor. Considering that we are all a family, it is okay to borrow a little to help.
"You have nothing to say?" Mother Ye looked at him with disdain, "You must think so too, but you still insist on saying that you are stupid. You are stupid."
"You are smart, treat anyone who makes you suffer as an enemy."
"Hey, that's true!"
Father Ye glared at her angrily, drank the wine in his glass, and stopped talking to her.
