Chapter 173:
“It’s just that Jiaojiao has a good relationship with that group of orcas. You were lucky today to encounter them. If you hadn’t encountered the sardine school, and without Jiaojiao accompanying you, the norm is earning tens or a hundred yuan a day from going out to sea. Plus, going out to sea depends on the weather; the weather suitable for going out to sea only accounts for a little more than half a month each month…”
Shen Yunlian was also afraid that her two nephews would be blinded by the money, so she clearly explained the pros and cons to them.
As they listened, the two Shen brothers calmed down.
Yun Linhai was also very direct: “If you like going out to sea, and like fishing, it’s okay for me, your uncle, to occasionally take you to experience it. Relying on fishing for a lifetime to make big money is not possible, unless you have exceptionally good sea transport.
Being able to study, attend university, and if possible, secure a stable ‘iron rice bowl’ job with the country is the best. If that’s really not possible, and you don’t mind the hard work, my door is always open to you.”
Shen Xiuyuan: “Then I’ll come again in the future. Uncle, please don’t dislike me.”
Anyway, so far, his first experience at sea was great, with good catches and excitement, making him feel like he had gained a lot of knowledge.
Yun Linhai patted his shoulder, and the movement pulled on the muscles in his arm, causing him to grimace in pain.
“Okay, come again next time, and I’ll take you tide pooling on the island.”
Before distributing the money, Old Master Yun took out two large Da Tuan Jie banknotes, one for Shen Kuan and one for Shen Xiuyuan.
This was something Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe had discussed with him beforehand.
“Grandpa Yun, why are you giving us money?”
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan didn’t want to accept it.
“Take it.”
Yun Linhai said, “You two also helped a lot today, otherwise, could you have brought back so many fish?”
“Ten yuan each, don’t think it’s too little.”
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan quickly shook their heads; how could they think it was little?
They didn’t have any income from making money at home; even Shen Kuan didn’t have much money in his pocket.
Getting ten yuan in one day felt like a dream.
After a few rejections, the two Shen brothers finally accepted the money with blushing faces.
Shen Xiuyuan grinned broadly, extremely happy.
After all, he was a youth; having absolutely no money and suddenly receiving ten yuan naturally made him happy.
“Your hands will probably need a few days to recover. I’ll send you back early tomorrow morning. Xiuyuan, you should ask for a day’s leave from school first.”
Shen Kuan was no longer attending school.
He finished junior high and didn’t continue, partly because his grades weren’t good, and there was no point in continuing, and partly because there was a lot of farm work at home, so he simply stopped studying and went home to help.
The courtyard of the new house was very large, and it was a cement floor, clean and flat.
After the money was divided, the adults gathered to chat, and the children gathered to play.
Yun Xiaowu and the others ran around with basketballs, dribbling them.
Shen Xiuyuan also wanted to play, feeling envious, but he couldn’t lift his arm and could only watch.
Yun Jiao sat on a low stool, stroking the soft bellies of the two little fat dogs with her fingers, watching her brothers play basketball.
Some adults from the village also strolled over to his house, took stools, sat down, and joined the chat group.
“You chose a good location for your foundation. If I remember correctly, since you built this house, your luck has been exceptionally good; you’ve never returned from going out to sea empty-handed.”
Coincidentally, they started choosing and building the house this year, and they bought the boat this year as well. Superstitious people might really think that the foundation of their new house was chosen very well.
“Look, on the first day of going out to sea after moving, you encountered such a good thing, a great start.”
“Indeed, your family’s life is getting better and better.”
Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun smiled: “As long as everyone puts their strength together, life will naturally get better and better.”
“By the way, has that thief from Yun Dafu’s family been caught yet?”
Grandma Yun subtly changed the topic.
Speaking of this, everyone became mentally excited.
“To be honest, they caught the person, and you absolutely wouldn’t guess who it was!”
An gossipy old woman, who knew the inside story, slapped her thigh: “It was the son of Yun Dafu’s sister-in-law who brought people to steal money from his house.”
“What?”
Instantly, everyone’s attention was fully engaged.
Yun Jiao also cuddled up with Cat Leader, her eyes sparkling as she squatted beside her mom.
There’s more to this story, tell us quickly.
“After the public security comrades came to their house to investigate the situation, they felt that the thief seemed very familiar with their home and also knew where the money was hidden, so they determined it was a crime committed by an acquaintance and asked Yun Dafu’s family to carefully recall who they had told about the places where they hid their money.”
“Later, after several days of investigation, it was traced back to his sister-in-law’s family. It turned out that Yun Dafu’s sister-in-law had brought her man and son to visit their house some time ago.”
You also know what kind of conduct the Yun Dafu family has; they want the whole world to know about any money they have. Then his sister-in-law said that her son was getting married and needed to buy a house, so she asked to borrow some money from their family.
As soon as Yun Dafu and his wife heard about borrowing money, their faces immediately changed. Later, when Yun Dafu’s sister-in-law’s family left, there was a very unpleasant scene. It’s said that their son learned about the hiding place of the money from Yun Dafu’s youngest son.
Afterwards, he brought two brothers to steal the money. By the time the public security comrades caught them, most of the money had already been spent.
Those who didn’t know the situation yet suddenly gasped: “That was over three thousand yuan, and it’s all gone?”
“Of course not.”
The old woman, munching on sunflower seeds, said, “My nephew is a head chef in the public security bureau. He told me this news, and it’s definitely correct. I estimate everyone will hear the news tomorrow.”
“What did they use the money for so quickly? Does his sister-in-law know?”
“Know what?”
The old woman spat out the sunflower seed shells from her mouth: “After the three of them divided the money, they took it to gamble.”
Gambling, that’s no wonder then.
Gambling, since ancient times, has harmed countless people.
“Then they deserve to be caught.”
“What’s the point of being caught? They definitely won’t get their money back.”
This relative relationship will probably be over from now on.
They chatted until the moon was high in the sky, and the visitors left. It was time for them to wash up and go to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yun Chenbei, who was healthy and not out at sea, was responsible for sending the two Shen brothers back.
Since they couldn’t go out to sea for the next few days, Yun Jiao took the cat, dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese out for a stroll to find food.
The weather was gradually getting colder, and Yun Jiao was already wearing long pants and long sleeves.
The grass by the roadside fields was no longer tender, and there were fewer insects. She had to laboriously move stones to find earthworms.
Suddenly, Yun Jiao noticed many people running in the same direction, muttering about Yun Dafu’s house and such.
Yun Jiao thought about what the adults had discussed yesterday, so she stopped looking for food for the chickens, ducks, and geese. She left them in the harvested rice fields and told Cat Leader to keep an eye on them.
“Cat Leader, please help. Good boy, I’ll give you something delicious when we get back.”
After saying that, she hugged the two puppies and ran in the direction of Yun Dafu’s house.
Eating melon, eating melon.
Her eyes were bright.
