As my hand touched the bolt, a low, hoarse voice came from outside the door.
"No need to open the door."
Chu Dashan trembled with fear. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Is there anything you need me to do?"
A very dissatisfied voice came, "You can't even do one thing right, and we expect you to do other things? You're useless!"
Chu Dashan was furious when he heard the word "waste". He tried to control himself. After all, the person outside the door was his bread and butter. He turned his anger into grievance and said, "I'm in trouble! I really can't afford Chu Xuan's yard. She's asking for tens of thousands of dollars. I can't afford it! Please be considerate of me."
"I don't want to hear any nonsense! Chu Dashan, you need to know the consequences of taking money and not doing anything!"
"You said you would ensure I have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life."
"That's right. But the prerequisite is that you have to find a way to get the things in Chu Xuan's mother's yard!"
"I will definitely find a way to get it done as soon as possible."
"I'll give you another month. If you can't do it, I'll cut off your living expenses! And destroy all the property Feng Chunhua left you!"
"Destroyed?"
"That's right, making those courtyards disappear is just a matter of setting fire!"
Chu Dashan was trembling all over.
One is because of the cold, and the other is because of the anger.
He didn't return to the kang until the footsteps outside became farther and farther away.
He muttered quietly, "Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier that there were good things in the old house? You waited until you gave it to Chu Xuan before telling me, what were you doing? And you're threatening me with this again! You only gave me a month, what should I do? I can't get it even if I die! The yard is all concrete, and if I hit it, people will hear it. How about I do the opposite? If I tell Chu Xuan the truth, will she support me in my old age?"
He shook his head vigorously to dispel the idea.
He thought Chu Xuan would never support him.
Take it one day at a time, lie down and continue sleeping.
At around two o'clock in the morning, Mu Chenze put on a thick cotton coat and rode his bike to the pier.
A distant-water fishing vessel is returning tonight, and among them is a ship owner that Mu Chenze is familiar with.
The ship hasn't docked yet.
Mu Chenze saw Lin Yong’s truck waiting for work at the dock, so he booked the truck with him first.
Lin Yong agreed immediately.
Ever since Mu Chenze stopped renting his car, Wang Depin often asked him to deliver goods.
Wang Depin specifically mentioned that he gave priority to Lin Yong's truck because he heard Mu Chenze say that Lin Yong was a good person.
When he didn't have to deliver goods for the village factory, he would come to the dock to wait for work.
Mu Chenze asked him to make a reservation, and he was very happy to do so.
When the ocean fishing boat docked, Mu Chenze immediately ordered abalone and sea cucumbers worth 5,000 yuan.
Lin Yong and the boatman helped Mu Chenze load the cargo.
After loading the goods, Mu Chenze told Lin Yong to go to his house to pick up those king clams.
Lin Yong agreed without hesitation.
If you replace me with another truck driver, he will complain about the extra driving and fuel consumption, and all sorts of other issues.
Lin Yong never says much.
Mu Chenze liked his generosity, and of course, he would not take advantage of him for nothing.
I will find a way to compensate him elsewhere.
For example, treat him to breakfast or give him something else.
While loading a few baskets of king clams onto the truck, Mu Chenze took a large bag of broken seaweed rolls from home and put them on the back seat.
"Brother Lin, don't be disgusted. This is my wife's failed attempt at developing seaweed rolls. They just look ugly, but it doesn't affect the taste. Take it back and feed it to the children!"
Lin Yong had heard about Chu Xuan's development of seaweed rolls, and he knew in his heart that even if it was a failure, it would still be delicious.
"Then you're welcome! Thank you very much!"
Mu Chenze sat in the passenger seat with a smile on his face, "What is there to thank me for? I should thank you for coming to my house to eat Razor Clam King!"
Lin Yong started the truck and drove away slowly. "For this little thing, you gave me a big bag of seaweed? Then I really have to come to your house more often in the future." When he said this, he couldn't help laughing.
Mu Chenze was also amused. "I will try to collect more rare goods like king clams every day. Please come to my house to pick them up. I guarantee that there will be seaweed roll scraps to eat every day."
"That would be great."
Along the way, they had a good chat. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they kept chatting until they reached the city.
The delivery went smoothly.
The abalone, sea cucumber and king clams were all sold to Boss Hou. The king clams were sold for 460 yuan, and the abalone and sea cucumbers were sold for 6,500 yuan, for a net profit of 1,960 yuan.
Mu Chenze hasn't made any money for more than a month. Even when he made money before, he rarely made so much at once. This is considered a good start.
There are still about ten days before the Chinese New Year, and Boss Hou's processing plant is shipping very quickly.
He specifically reminded them that even if Mu Chenze delivered two shipments a day, their factory could handle it.
Mu Chenze wanted to make a fortune before the New Year, so he immediately decided to make two trips to the city to deliver goods for the next ten days.
However, on the way back, he didn't have a free car. With the intention of making money together, he discussed with Lin Yong to bring some New Year's goods back to sell and split the profits 50-50.
He provided the capital, and Lin Yong provided the car and people.
Lin Yong doesn’t have time to sell goods, so he can ask his family to help.
Lin Yong was very grateful and nodded without hesitation.
They bought a lot of vermicelli, peanuts, soybeans, mutton, ham...
These are all must-have New Year goods.
After returning to the county town, they sold half of it at the market.
The remaining goods were transported to Lin Yong's home and sold by the Lin family at the town market.
After making the arrangements, Lin Yong drove Mu Chenze back to Nanyu Village.
We agreed to meet at the pier around 2pm.
At that time, there were still ocean-going fishing boats docking, and Lin Yong had already inquired about it.
Because he knew that if he wanted to get any work, he had to find out the time when the distant-water fishing boats would dock.
After arriving at the door of his house and watching Lin Yong drive away, Mu Chenze glanced at his watch. It was 9:30 in the morning.
The yard gate was locked and no one was at home, but fortunately he had the key with him.
After unlocking the door and returning to the bridal chamber, I saw the note Xiao Xuan had left. "Ze, my sister-in-law, my mother, and I are going to my parents' yard to bake seaweed rolls and bread. We'll go to the beach around 10:30. There's food in the stove. After we eat, we'll lock the door and catch up on some sleep. We won't be back until around 1:00 in the afternoon."
Keep the note carefully.
He was not hungry at all. He locked the gate, went back to his room, took off his coat, and took some sleep.
Close your eyes and fall asleep.
I don't know how long I slept before I was woken up by a knock on the door.
I looked at my watch. It was 1:30 in the afternoon.
He quickly put on his coat and went to open the gate.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Xuan, as well as his parents, each carrying a backpack and a net bag, all with happy faces, came in one after another.
The five large backpacks are full of king clams, and the net bags contain swimming crabs, conchs and the like. Today is a great harvest.
After a while, villagers came to sell king clams. Seeing so many king clams, they thought that the Mu family had collected them from nearby villages.
I collected a large basket of things in bits and pieces.
Everyone knows that the king clams business only lasts for a few days, and you can only find so many king clams on three or four days in a few months every year.
The villagers were not jealous because they knew there were risks in collecting king clams.
Not everyone makes money like the Mu family. Some people followed Mu Chenze's example and went to the city to deliver high-end fish products, but not only did they not make money, they also lost everything.
Just when Mu Chenze was about to tell his family that he would make another trip to the city to deliver goods in the afternoon, Chu Dashan's voice was heard outside the door.
"Chenze, Xiaoxuan, I have something to tell you two."
Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan looked at each other, unable to guess the purpose of Chu Dashan's visit.
Have you saved enough money to buy a yard?
Chu Dashan can't be that rich, right? (End of this chapter)
