"I don't know, it should be almost done, right? I heard that your two cousins-in-law have been looking for people to join us for the past two days."

"It's so rare. I thought he had set his sights on me and asked me to give him 81,000 yuan."

"What?" Ye Yaohua exclaimed, "What is he dreaming about? Why do you think you are the God of Wealth for 81 million? It's not so easy to pick up money dropped from the sky."

Ye Yaopeng was surprised, then smiled and said, "You didn't want to borrow so much, did you? Dongzi was kidding, right?"

"You're just kidding me. If you dare to open your mouth, I'll call him out."

Ye Yaohua softened, "I was shocked. I really thought he had such a big face and thick skin."

Father Ye said: "How dare you borrow so much? He is not stupid. He really dares to open his mouth so much. Don't even think about it."

"What do you think he is doing at such a young age? A Guo and his brothers don't know how to do it? Do you want him to run around like this?" Ye Yaodong complained.

"He must have learned his lesson and told me instead of you. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law rejected her outright two days ago. You ignored me and were busy with things in the past two days. He

He just kept telling me."

"What did he say?"

The other two brothers also asked the same question.

"You two have just bought a boat and haven't started making money yet. He can understand it even if you don't lend it. Dongzi doesn't seem to be easy to talk to, so he asked me to help. He said you are filial, and you will definitely listen to what I say.

.”

"He also said that we are not outsiders. We are all originally a family. Even if our bones and muscles are broken, we can't just help."

"Speaking of my relationship with his brother, my family has seen several sons become prosperous. He also hopes that he will be able to enjoy prosperity through his sons and grandsons in the future, so he asked me to help him to some extent."

"Other relatives and friends have also helped to some extent. We are the most promising here, so we have to help. This is what I said."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, I can't say anything."

"Isn't that because you didn't pay attention to me? Mind your own business."

"Then you haven't come to your door in the past two days and haven't told me? Shouldn't I still be rushing to come and ask?"

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I already collected 500 yuan and gave it to him."

"Ah?" The three brothers all looked over in surprise.

"Did you borrow it?"

"My mother knows? The money she took?"

"Didn't Mom always tell us not to borrow it?"

"Shit, can she get the money?" Father Ye said angrily, "This is all private money that I secretly saved. The day before yesterday, I took the foreign cigarettes Dongzi gave me to the town to exchange for it.

500 is enough."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Why haven't you come to my door in the past two days? So dad, you have already given it to me? Are you quite rich?"

"Don't let your mother know, otherwise there will be a huge quarrel and I will be kicked out of the house."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Dad, you have saved too much private money, right?"

"Where do you think my private money comes from? Isn't it all given here and there? I secretly saved it all. Last year, I put it under my pillow and my mother took it away once. Otherwise, I could have had a little more.

.”

The two brothers were immediately embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything. They didn't have much money to give to their father, and they didn't even have much private money hidden away.

"Some other families borrowed 100, 200, or 50. The two families also borrowed their own money, and the maternal family probably borrowed them all. What your second uncle borrowed belongs to him, even though it was also given to him.

When the time comes, I will also ask your second uncle for money from those two families."

"Don't think about it, unless both grandsons make a lot of money abroad and come back in glory, he can pay back the money."

Once you lend the money, don't think about getting it back. It sounds like a loan, but in fact it's a help.

"I know you are telling the truth, but you have to think better."

"I'll go back and talk to Ah Qing later. I'll give you the 500 yuan and treat it as mine."

Father Ye held the bamboo in one hand and waved his hand, "Whatever you want to make up for, you gave it to me in the first place. I saved it bit by bit. If I lend it out, what's the point of getting another sum? You don't have to give it to me."

, when their conditions get better, I will have to ask your second uncle to pay me back."

"I originally thought that when he came to my door, he would definitely open his mouth, but I didn't expect that I could spend 500 yuan."

It was completely beyond his expectation, and it was a bit out of line with his second uncle's temperament. He used to wish he could pluck his body and suck his blood.

"500 yuan is quite a lot, but you are the only one who thinks it is too little. No one expects him to repay what he has given out, and there is no interest calculation, so how can he give more?"

"I also inquired specifically about it. Most of the money I asked was one or two hundred, and those who gave 200 were not much. Who can give away that much money?"

"In addition, many people don't believe what happened to Hiro before. Who knows whether the matter of going abroad is true or not? They are just talking about it."

"That's what I heard from them, and the contact person was given by you. In addition, our family did go to the provincial capital last year to worship our ancestors. We all know that there are a lot of relatives of overseas Chinese, so we gave the information with some suspicion.

"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to even afford one or two hundred. After being cheated once, everyone is afraid. If they really go abroad, they will be willing to help a little, because they are afraid that it is a lie."

"So how dare he dare to open his mouth to us, a lion, and think that we are fools? If a real lion opens his mouth, he won't get even a cent. The 500 I can give is already a lot."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that what his father said made sense. Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Relatives and friends are not fools. They will help when they should, but they are afraid of being deceived. Some of them have been deceived once, so who is willing to take so much?

If I didn't know that the number was given from him and that the overseas Chinese relatives were genuine, they probably wouldn't believe it.

After all, no one in their village has gone abroad to work, and there has never been a wave of migrant workers. They have only heard of it.

His father's direct payment of 500 was almost equivalent to giving away all the three brothers' shares and protecting them from behind. His second uncle could not come to the house to borrow money from the three brothers in turn.

What's more, he avoided his mother's nagging dissatisfaction, and he came out secretly, and everyone was happy.

If one person suffers, the whole family will be at peace.

So no wonder it's been quiet for the past two days and no one comes to the door anymore.

Ye Yaohua said: "They can borrow some from their relatives and friends, and my wife will go back to her parents' house to talk about it, and they can borrow some."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Last year I went to Zhejiang Province to salvage jellyfish. Although I was fined a bit for going in, I didn't partner with other people later. I stayed for half a month longer, and I must have made a little money. Let's help chip in.

, it will definitely be no problem for their family to pool together 6,000 yuan.”

Father Ye said: "It must be no problem. Your second uncle is a very smart man. He must have saved some money over the years. How can your children go abroad without paying for it? You have to pay a lot of money, and everyone will do the rest.

Give it to him."

"That's it. After all the talking, I ended up emptying your coffin. But it's a good thing. You don't have to listen to your mother's nagging, and you don't have to worry about her finding out your private money and scolding her again." Ye Yaodong said with a smile.

"It's quiet. In the past two days since I came back, your mother has been whispering in my ears, saying that they almost borrowed money from the whole village. The whole village knew that their children were going abroad. They were obviously borrowing money. What happened?

It’s terrible to get the scenery.”

"Going abroad is indeed very beautiful."

“With all this trouble, I don’t know if I can go abroad to work.”

Ye Yaodong curiously asked: "After you gave the money, did you ask him when he would pay Lao Hai and when he would send the child away?"

"When I gave it, I probably hadn't collected enough, so I'm still having a meeting there now. He said that he would contact Lao Hai after he collected enough money, and then he would arrange a time so that they could send the child there and then meet in person.

Pay the money."

"oh."

"I don't know if it's worth it. The two families spent all their money and borrowed money from relatives before sending their two children to work abroad."

"Let's see, if we can successfully go abroad, with overseas Chinese taking care of us, it shouldn't be too bad. Let's see if we can make it happen."

"I hope it can happen, otherwise it will be in vain."

There were only four of them, father and son, talking and busy planting bamboos and hanging fishing nets.

At this point, the words came to an end for the time being, but Ye Yaopeng hesitated and spoke again.

"You said that if my second uncle can go abroad and work successfully, can we also send our children to work abroad?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest brother in surprise, "I want to take a chance. What are you trying to do? Your family's life is pretty easy. You have a big boat. Why take that risk?"

"Haha, let me tell you, don't they all take one by one, and even half the village has been taken abroad?"

"As long as Ah Hai graduates, he will have a stable job. When Cheng Ha is older, he can go out to work with you and take over your class. When his daughter is older, she can also help with housework. Isn't this all a blessing?

Is that so? Sending the child away, who knows how many years they will see each other again? It’s not like life is unbearable, we have to count on the child to work abroad to earn money to support the family."

Ye Yaodong didn't quite understand his elder brother's brain circuit.

"You're right. During this time, I heard the villagers talking about it. They all think that it is good to go abroad. As long as you go abroad, you will have a great future. I also thought that if my second uncle's children can work well abroad, we can also do it.

Send the kids out."

"You are advocating for foreigners. Although it is good to be an overseas Chinese and there are various loose policies, life at home is quite easy. There is nothing wrong with living a comfortable life. A person is still a child in a foreign country. How can I

It’s good to have family around.”

"Well, what Dongzi said is true. You must have a hard time being alone outside. It's hard to make phone calls and it's inconvenient to contact you. Think about it, you're still a child. There's no need for our family."
