It’s several yuan, it’s not small money.”

"This is quite a lot..."

"It's all full, and he said he didn't steal it..."

…

The villagers talked a lot, and Lao Wang blushed, "I didn't succeed in stealing, and I'm still..."

"Then if the strong woman didn't succeed, it wouldn't count if she stripped naked and stood at the door, right? Anyway, it didn't work, so she should be let go?" Ah Zheng arrived late, peeled away the crowd, and taunted them with filthy words.

"He said he didn't succeed in stealing, so he didn't succeed in stealing? Maybe he has fished out several winnowing bugs repeatedly." A Guang also went into the water.

They were all relatively far away, and they saw a lot of people gathering here, so they curiously came over to watch the fun.

"No……"

Lao Wang quickly waved his hand to retort, and his son also said: "The things are still there, and you also hit someone, so it's even."

"I can make up for the fact that you stole my things, but what about my losses? You are not allowed to give back what you stole from me?"

"I told you I didn't steal it, but I'm still here..."

"That's what you said too. I also said that you caught a lot of dustbins."

"What do you want?"

"I'll pay you for the shells that hold two dustpans. The ones I have here are really all scallops. It's hard to say how many scallops are in the shells you have. I still suffered a loss."

It's not that he wants to care about this. If he just let it go casually, people might think he is soft and easy to talk to.

Even though they knew it was him who set up the net, they still bullied him, and he still exposed it lightly. If some petty thieves thought they were caught stealing his things, it wouldn't be a big deal. They would go to his house every three days.

What should I do if I visit you?

A good man will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.

When Lao Wang heard that he was going to pay two dozen guinea pigs, his eyes widened and he shouted, "I didn't succeed in stealing, why should I pay? If I don't pay, let's go..."

Ye Yaodong grabbed him and refused to let him go. Other relatives and friends he knew also helped to stop him, "It is only natural that you must pay back your debts. If you don't pay compensation for stealing my things, don't even think about leaving."

The two parties immediately started pushing, pulling, and cursing at each other.

The peacemakers in the village all intervened one after another, telling them not to be impulsive, to talk to them properly, and to discuss matters carefully...

Ye Yaosheng was also pulled in by Wang Lizhen at this time. He frowned and looked at the two families who were arguing. He reluctantly took Ye Yaodong's arm and looked at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, please stop arguing. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

It’s from a village…”

Then he looked at Ye Yaodong and said, "Ah Dong, look, it doesn't look good to so many people. For my sake, why don't everyone take a step back? It won't look good if there is a quarrel. We are all fellow villagers."

, If you don’t see me when I look up, I’ll see you when I look down…”

Ye Yaodong looked at his cousins, who had a common relationship. They were very different in age. They moved out when he was very young and didn't have much contact with each other.

But they are cousins ​​anyway, so there is no conflict. He softened his tone and said: "Their old man stole my scallops. Do you think we should pay compensation?"

"Yes, petty theft is wrong in the first place."

"Ye Yaosheng, who are you helping?" Wang Lizhen said unhappily.

Ye Yaosheng also looked down on petty theft. Although he was forced to be a peacemaker, it did not mean that he wanted to be partial.

He said unhappily to Lao Wang's family: "I heard that the crackdown is very severe now. If you steal a tire, you will be sentenced to ten years in prison. In the first place, stealing is a loss. If you are not willing to pay compensation, then you can do it yourself."

"Ten...ten years..."

Lao Wang was trembling when he spoke. If he was sentenced to ten years, he might not be able to live out of prison...

"You...who are you bluffing? You are all a family, so you must help them." Wang Lizhen was also timid. They are all ordinary people in the countryside. Who is not afraid of entering the public security bureau?

"What I said is the truth. You stole A Dong's things, and you should compensate him."

"But my father was also beaten..."

"If you are caught stealing something, shouldn't you be beaten?" Ye Yaosheng could still tell the difference clearly.

"That's right..." The villagers who were watching also echoed there.

Lao Wang's family was speechless and looked at Ye Yaosheng with some dissatisfaction.

Ye Yaosheng sighed in his heart. He didn't help with marriage either. He looked at Ye Yaodong and asked, "How do you want to compensate?"

"I don't know how much he stole from me. I asked him to pay me two bushel shells. That's not much, right? I tried to comfort myself, but I didn't even ask him to pay me two bushels of scallops."

"You think beautifully..."

"I really didn't steal it. I didn't have time..." Lao Wang was angry and embarrassed.

"If I really stole it, you wouldn't admit it."

Ye Yaosheng said: "Whether it's really stolen or not, two pinches of bamboo shoots is not too much..."

The villagers also helped, "Just pay it forward..."

"Just think of it as a long memory..."

"Yeah, who allowed me to have a wrong idea?"

"Who knows whether it was stolen or not? No one saw it. They were just chatting happily and didn't pay attention here..."

Wang Lizhen heard her brothers and sisters saying that two handfuls were too much, and she glared at Ye Yaosheng angrily, "If it's less, I didn't steal it in the first place, and I was beaten just now."

Ye Yaosheng looked at Ye Yaodong in embarrassment, "Ah Dong..."

He felt that it was difficult for him to speak. Before Ye Yaodong could respond, Ye Yaosheng looked at his father again, "Third uncle..."

Seeing a bunch of people making noise, Father Ye also felt a headache. He waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it. I just want to pay for it. It's okay to be like this all the time. Don't do it again."

It’s such a petty theft thing, I’m already old, it’s so ugly to be caught..."

"Yes, yes..."

Ye Yaodong also said: "Since my father said it, then for your sake, I will suffer a little loss, so please be considerate."

"Okay..." Ye Yaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly urged the people of Lao Wang's family to pretend.

The Wang family frowned and glared at him, "We need to return the winnowing seeds to us."

Who cares?

Ye Yaodong poured a handful of shells back into the fishing net, and then gave them to Ye Yaosheng.

They then took the winnows and reluctantly returned to the shore to pack them.

Who knew that this family actually wanted to fool him and waited for a while before sending it over.

Ye Yaodong didn't even take it, but saw that there were shells on the dust pickets. It was obvious that they had just picked the shells and gave them to him.

He snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm blind?"

Ye Yaosheng also felt that they had gone too far. They had already given in and even made the deal, but they still fooled people.

Ah Zheng rolled up his sleeves quite loyally and took the dustpan, "You don't know how to pretend, I'll pretend."

Others followed them ashore, and the enthusiastic villagers pointed out to them which of the bags of shells piled on the shore belonged to their old Wang family.

Now the people of Lao Wang's family were also anxious and hurriedly followed, "Don't mess around, we have several families, they are all different, we can't make a mistake."

"We'll do it ourselves..."

They didn't care whose family they were fishing for, as long as it belonged to Lao Wang's family.

There were also a lot of people there, and they picked out the sacks with meat on them, and then grabbed them at will, but most of them had meat. Now the old Wang family had stolen a chicken but lost a handful of rice, and their intestines were filled with regret.

Green.

The matter of treating someone as a fool and pouring him a handful of chamomile has been settled long ago.

No one sympathizes with them.

Ye Yaodong carried the dustpans they brought back and poured them onto the cart with satisfaction. He handed the dustpans to Ye Yaosheng in the air and those people ignored him.

"Dongzi, are you planning to set up the internet? Don't you plan to leave it alone for an extra day and a half?" A Guang asked from the side.

"There are no scallops left at the beach. They have been carried away by everyone. There is no point in surrounding them anymore. Just take them back, so as not to leave them outside for a long time. What if we attract thieves again? And the Internet is not mine.

Yes, I took it back just in time to return it."

"That's right, or you acted quickly and got off the net early, and you don't know how much you can net?"

"Pull it up and you'll know." Xiaoxiao eagerly rolled up his sleeves and got into the water, intending to help collect it and see how much they could catch.

"Okay, then you can collect that one for me. I'll just stay here with my dad."

The villagers gathered around the shore and didn't disperse. They also wanted to see how many scallops could be caught with two nets here.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father stood in one direction, untying the ropes tied to the bamboo poles and sticks, then holding the corners of the fishing net in their hands, and then went to untie the next one.

After untying everything and holding one end of the fishing net in his hand, he walked towards the shore.

The water level on Father Ye's side was low, and the waves were small so it was easy to untie it. He had already untied it one step ahead of him and put it in his hand to go ashore, waiting for him to finish it.

At this time, the villagers on the shore have been discussing, "It didn't take long before it was put down this morning, so it shouldn't be much, right?"
