Chapter 431 Fish-removing Organization

The two brothers were arguing so much that it was a headache. Li Duoyu rubbed his ears and sorted out the conflicts between the two brothers.

First, he asked Zhao Erniu:

"Er Niu, do you think the sea took away the money and the boat? I'm sorry, aren't you?"

Zhao Erniu nodded and said: "His money, including the ship's diesel engine and the land at the dock, were all earned by the two of us."

Zhao Dahai scolded: "Fuck you, I just asked you to help, and I will give you all the money, okay?"

"Can you give me half of the money you earned from catching little men last year? You can use it all to buy the land on the pier, okay?"

"Then when the families are separated, you will also be assigned the old house."

"The old house was originally built by my parents, and it has a part of me in it."

Seeing that they were getting louder and louder, Li Duoyu quickly interrupted.

He finally understood that Widow Chen was just the trigger. The fundamental reason was that their parents did not separate well when they separated, which led to the two brothers' quarrel.

Li Duoyu asked Zhao Dahai: "If you don't let Zhao Erniu go fishing at sea, do you feel that you have suffered a loss for not catching blue crab seedlings?"

Li Duoyu continued: "Don't you know a matchmaker to introduce one to your brother and ask her to help find a woman for him?"

Li Duoyu wrote three large notes. He really admired the two brothers' memory. They could remember the price of the pots and pans they bought five years ago.

"He will definitely be able to earn this amount of money after catching cloves this time. I heard Xiaochao say that this week alone, Dahai made more than 300 yuan."

Li Duoyu was stunned.

"I'm not as stupid as you. I ran away after I felt something was wrong. How could I give them the money?"

Zhao Dahai also looked surprised, even a little excited: "Er Niu, you haven't been deceived too, have you?"

"If you have to calculate that you can earn 1,000 yuan from blue crab seedlings in two months, then you have to deduct the money you made from catching small tubes in the past two months, because if you catch green crab seedlings, you won't have time to catch small tubes. It’s done, isn’t it?”

"Brother Yu, did you make a mistake in your calculation? Why do I still pay two niu of money?"

Zhao Dahai was silent for a while and said, "That's for sure."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's right."

He actually wanted to divide his family again in front of Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Then both of you will lose and gain, so why not just settle it and your oath will be invalidated?"

this moment.

"He has no money, how could he give me money?" Zhao Erniu said.

When Li Duoyu said this, Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, as if this was really the case.

"When the second uncle passed away, I helped you pay for the two yuan as a gift."

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched and he picked up the paper: "Here, you divide it up, and I'll write it down for you."

Zhao Dahai was inexplicably very happy and kept asking Er Niu: "How did they lie to you? Tell me."

Zhao Dahai: “When I built a house in my hometown, all the wood was bought with money.”

So now, even if he has a boat and a house, the women on the island are not willing to marry him, and the matchmakers are not willing to introduce him to a partner.

He gave an example.

Seeing that Zhao Dahai no longer refuted, Li Duoyu said to Erniu: "Erniu, regarding the separation of the family, your brother will compensate you three hundred yuan, and the matter will be settled like this. What do you think?"

"Hmph, Brother Yu entrusted me to catch that blue crab fry. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Dahai scratched his head and said: "Brother Yu, we two are not good at math, can you help me with the statistics?"

"If the boat was still yours, and you had installed a net hoist, Erniu would have to pay your brother a hundred yuan."

Zhao Dahai retorted on the spot: "No oath can be invalidated, so what's the use of oaths?"

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that swearing was useless, but considering that he was a village director, he had to speak artistically and not be too rude and direct.

"Didn't our village and Chenjia Village also make an oath back then? We also hired a mage and even used the talisman paper, but didn't it become invalid in the end?"

Zhao Erniu said: "I've already blown it, the women over there can't afford to marry, they are all liars."

But he also admitted his mistake. The only thing he was unhappy about was that Erniu arranged for him everywhere and made him a joke in the whole village.

"That's okay."

Zhao Dahai was stunned. It seemed that Brother Yu was right. He had made a lot of money by fishing with small tubes in those two months.

As a result, the two of them quarreled and quarreled.

Li Duoyu finally understood what it was like to settle accounts between brothers.

Li Duoyu said: "Dahai, if you want a house and a boat, deducting the loss for not catching blue crabs, you will have to make up for two oxen and three hundred yuan."

In fact, when he was settling the accounts just now, he already knew that he was wrong. He was seduced by Widow Chen and was unjust to his brothers and unfilial to his parents.

"If I were here, it would be your turn. Your ability to catch blue crabs was all taught to you by me."

The two of them calculated for more than two hours.

"fart."

"But if the oath is useless, then I will suffer a big loss. I will make so much less money."

Zhao Erniu: "I bought those bowls, and I also paid for the gill nets and ground cages."

Seeing Zhao Dahai's gloating look, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. As expected, everyone likes to see others being unlucky.

Seeing that the two brothers seemed to be reconciled, Li Duoyu said: "If nothing happens, I will leave. You can handle your own affairs and stop fighting. Do you know?"

"knew."

"Brother Yu, please slow down."

Li Duoyu looked at the brothers. In fact, these two brothers were too impatient.

He can't get a wife now just because the money is not in place yet. As long as the money is in place, even Yanyan from the old Lu family can find a son-in-law.

What's more, their Zhao brothers are pretty good-looking, much better-looking than Liu Xiaolan's brothers.

After leaving the village committee, Li Duoyu wandered aimlessly in the village. As he walked, he came to the Tianhou Palace.

Before I even got close, I smelled the smell of seafood. When I got closer, I found that the stone floor of Thean Hou Temple Square had been cleaned by the villagers, and they were all drying cloves there.

There were several village women with their children, turning the clove fish there so that the small fish could be dried as quickly as possible.

Among them was a woman named Zhang Cuihua, who looked grateful after seeing Li Duoyu.

"Director Li, thank you very much."

"You came to Thean Hou Temple to pay homage, too?"

"No, I'm just going for a walk. You can go on and don't worry about me."

Li Duoyu is really afraid of this woman Zhang Cuihua, because she is too enthusiastic, and he feels that if he says a few more words to her, she will kneel down and thank him.

The large incense burner outside Thean Hou Temple is still burning incense, and there are several village women kneeling sincerely inside, probably praying for the safe return of the men who went out to fish.

Li Duoyu bowed his hands to Mazu. Strictly speaking, Tianhou Temple is a Taoist temple.

Mazu is also a local deity and cannot use the Buddhist gassing ceremony. Many tourists in later generations did not know this. When they came to Thean Hou Temple, they used all Buddhist etiquette.

Although they all say that it is good to be sincere and not to pay too much attention to etiquette, but these believers still have some grudges.

After completing the etiquette.

Li Duoyu came to the edge of the square. From this position, he could see most of Xiasha Village, and almost every household was drying cloves. If you look at it from here, you can also see the Xijia Reef, which is full of fishing boats.

Judging from the number of fishing boats, it is estimated that the fishing boats from Chenjiacun have also gone there to catch cloves.

Since the relationship between the two villages was restored, the fishing areas of the two villages have been opened, and they all fish together.

However, Chenjiacun seemed to be at a disadvantage because the fishing boats in Xiasha Village were three to four times their size and they couldn't capture them at all.

At Badshui Beach, there were also twenty or thirty people working hard to pull the net.

For more than a week, everyone has been very busy, trying their best to make more money during the clove season.

I heard from other village cadres that Chenjia Village is even crazier. Although they have fewer fishing boats, they have a lot of fishing nets, five in total.

Just like Xiasha Village, they fished for cloves day and night. Anyone who participated in this fishing did make a small profit.

Seeing that everyone is making money and living better and better, Li Duoyu is also very happy, but he has always had a very selfish idea.

Because he didn't want to leave Dandan Island, let alone those of his age, who would all go to the city to be "nannies" for those children.

What’s more, I don’t want Dandan Island to be like its previous life. In the end, it will develop without any vitality and become an island that is slowly “waiting for death”.

Li Duoyu knows that it is very difficult to oppose the basic strategy of "urbanization".

But there are some things that you will regret if you don't try them.

While the whole island is making crazy money, there are also some idle street kids.

Liu Xiaolan’s brothers, and that dog-selling guy.

I've been wearing a dark face every day recently because during this period, many members of their "anti-Li Duoyu" [Official Fish Organization] have rebelled.

Xiao Qingsong, Xiao Weidong's father, was originally the strongest supporter of the anti-fish faction, because Li Duoyu sent his son in.

They cursed him behind his back every day, wishing that Li Duoyu would go bankrupt immediately, step down and get out.

But I couldn't hold it back these days and went to catch lilac fish with everyone to make money.

The main reason is that in recent years, his Nanyang relatives don't know if something happened. They haven't received any letters or sent foreign exchange for several years.

Some time ago, when he visited his son in prison, Xiao Weidong made it clear that he hoped his father would give the guards some meaning.

This way he can have less work to do while inside, and he doesn't have to be bullied all the time.

But now, the family is short of food and rice, and the daughter-in-law hates them to the core and goes back to live with her parents. How can he have the money to give gifts and stuff red envelopes to others.

Seeing that his neighbor's "stinky head" earned seven or eight yuan in just one week, no matter how unhappy Xiao Qingsong was with Li Duoyu, he could only give in and go fishing for cloves.

Liu Aguang and Stinky Foot were in a dilapidated stone house, drinking sweet potato roast together.

Stinky Feet scolded: "Old man Xiao is really spineless. It didn't take long before he gave in."

Liu Aguang couldn't help but scolded: "Chen Wenchao's bitch is even worse than the dog in the Stinky Foot family."

Since Zhu Xiuhua returned to the island in fine clothes, the Liu Aguang brothers have been envious. They are very eager to become the next Zhu Xiuhua.

It's a pity that his brother-in-law really didn't give him the slightest chance. Their family obviously had a chance to get rich.

When he thought of this, Liu Aguang became very angry and said to Stinky Feet: "Is the report you mentioned useful?"

"Of course it works, otherwise Director Liu wouldn't have been suspended for so long."

Stinky Feet took two sips of wine and whispered: "Let me tell you a secret. The leaders in the county seem to be very dissatisfied with our village director. Doesn't our village always go to Dinghai Bay to fish recently?

I heard that the county is planning to hold a meeting to criticize our village because of this incident. "

"Ah~~"

The two brothers Liu Aguang were stunned for a moment: "Stinky feet, where did you get this news?"

Stinky Foot smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask about this. Anyway, I have channels. Now we only need to seize Li Duoyu's handle to bring him down."

"But he is so good at making money, and he is not short of money, so there is no clue."

Stinky Feet said: "It's hard to say. The more people know how to make money, the more greedy they are. I don't believe this Li Duoyu is really that clean."

"And I heard that Li Yuanguang, Li Duoyu's second cousin, seems to have secretly given birth to a third child outside. As soon as he comes back, I will report it immediately and punish these bastards to death."

Liu Aguang looked shocked: "Stinky feet, I really underestimated you before. Why do I think you are more suitable to be the women's director than Liu Xiuzhu?"

Stinky Feet said hehe, "That's for sure. Let me tell you another secret. Someone from above promised me that as long as I can bring down Li Duoyu, I will be the Women's Director."

Liu Aguang asked in surprise: "Can a man be a women's director?"

"You don't understand this, you have to hang out more with the organization, you know." Stinky Foot smiled and said: "There is no explicit rule in our country that this position must be held by a woman."

"Brother Stinky Feet, you're awesome!"

“A toast to future women’s directors.”

Liu Aguang raised the bowl.

"Done."

After Stinky Feet finished drinking, he couldn't help but ask: "Guang, do you think the taste and color of the wine we drank today are a bit wrong."

Liu Aguang also felt something was wrong: "This sweet potato roast is home-brewed by Mr. Xiao."

Stinky Feet asked in horror: "Could this wine of yours be scooped out of the jars in Old Man Xiao's backyard?"

Liu Aguang nodded: "Any questions?"

"Grass."

Stinky Feet suddenly felt nauseous, and his face looked quite ugly, because some time ago, he discovered that the stone kept peeing there several times, and he thought it was a urinal.

Stinky Feet felt that he couldn't be the only one disgusted by this, so he also told the Liu brothers what he saw.

"Ugh~~"

When Li Duoyu came to the eel factory, there were still a lot of fishermen lining up to sell cloves.

After this week, Chen Wenchao looked quite haggard. According to his wife, due to the large number of cloves purchased and the amount of money handled, Chen Wenchao was so stressed that he could not sleep in the past week and often had nightmares.

After seeing Li Duoyu coming.

Chen Wenchao ran over immediately: "Brother Yu, you are here."

"How about it?"

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and asked: "Brother Yu, we have collected so many cloves, do we want to continue collecting them?"

"How much did you charge?"

"It's almost a hundred loads."

Hearing that there were only one hundred dan, Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "You are a bit slow to collect. I thought there were already 200 dan."

Chen Wenchao said in surprise: "Are we going to charge that much?"

"That's for sure. This is a foreign trade order. If one ship carries a hundred tons, you won't even be able to make back the fuel cost of the ship."

Just at this time.

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng suddenly came over and said seriously: "Duoyu, hurry up to the pond and have a look. A lot of blue crabs are dead."
