Seeing that Ah Can was blocked and unable to break free for a moment, Feng Ye saw that Ah Can was blocked.
Instead of helping to get out of the predicament, he took a step forward and rushed to the pile of seafood at Xu Laosi's house.
There were seven or eight burlap sacks piled up together. Without any hesitation, he reached out and picked up one of the sacks.
It's quite heavy, weighing at least seventy or eighty pounds.
Seeing this, Xu Laosi's eyes turned red: "You dare!"
He shouted as he let go of Ah-Can, trying to rush over and snatch it back, but Ah-Can grabbed him by the back of his hand.
The balance of power shifted instantly.
"Want to go over there? No way! We're taking this bag of goods!"
Just then, Xu Laosi's wife and children came over pushing a cart to haul away the goods.
When Xu Laosi's wife saw Feng Ye carrying her family's snakeskin bag, she immediately became anxious.
"What are you doing? What right do you have to take our goods? Put them down, put them down right now..."
She shouted as she quickly walked over, grabbed the snakeskin bag, and tried to snatch it back.
Xu Laosi's children also glared angrily at Feng Ye and his group, looking like they were there to interrogate them.
Feng Ye didn't want to argue with a woman, so he put down the snakeskin bag and looked at her coldly: "Why don't you ask your good husband what good things he's done?"
Xu Laosi's wife was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Laosi, her eyes full of doubt: "What's going on?"
"I...I..."
Xu Laosi's face turned red, and he stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing this, and noticing the net bag lying to the side, his wife immediately understood what was going on.
"Your husband stole the goods from Ah Ye and the other two's traps and got caught red-handed..."
Someone nearby recounted the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Xu Laosi's wife and children all turned ashen-faced.
"I...I haven't managed to steal it yet..."
Xu Laosi was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
He kept his head down, not daring to look at his wife and children's faces, and his voice grew softer and softer until it was almost as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak."
Xu Laosi's wife roared, then looked at Feng Ye: "How do you want to resolve this?"
The deed is done; there's no way to pretend nothing happened.
The most urgent thing now is to resolve this matter and then leave.
Staying here for even a minute longer means giving others another minute to laugh at you.
"It's very simple. We don't want to make things too difficult for you. We'll just take this bag of goods as compensation, and that'll be the end of it."
Feng Ye pointed to the snakeskin bag on the ground and said.
The onlookers also chimed in:
"There's not much in one bag, let's just accept the loss..."
"Yeah, consider it a lesson learned. Don't do such petty theft again."
"Sigh, he'll have to pay up. Who told him to have such wicked thoughts..."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Xu Laosi's wife's eyes, but she quickly made up her mind: "Okay, you can take this bag of goods."
"mother……"
"Stop talking, isn't it embarrassing enough? Let's just leave it at that, load the goods onto the cart, and go back."
Xu Laosi opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
His wife and children had already started moving the burlap sacks onto the cart.
He had no choice but to give up and silently go up to help.
Seeing this, the crowd realized there was nothing more to see and dispersed.
The incident sparked by the theft of fish traps has thus come to an end.
However, the news of Xu Laosi being caught stealing fish traps quickly spread throughout the village, providing the villagers with some fodder for conversation.
Feng Ye and his group carried the bag of goods home first, and then continued pushing the cart to the dock.
Feng Jiafa was sitting at the shop entrance with his wife and children, sorting the shellfish they had just brought back.
He received the news quite late.
By the time they rushed to the beach, most of the good stuff had already been picked up, so they could only bring back a few snakeskin bags full of shellfish.
Seeing Feng Ye and the others pushing the cart over, he stood up in surprise.
"You finished sorting so quickly?"
He was even more surprised when he saw that the cart was full of baskets of fish, shrimp and crabs.
"Where did all these fish and shrimp come from? Don't tell me you picked them up on the beach this morning."
"Of course not, I found it in the workshop."
"What? Inside the workshop? Even if you don't want to tell me, there's no need to make up such a reason, is there?"
Feng Jiafa looked incredulous. "Where would fish and shrimp come from in a workshop? Do you think they'd just fall from the sky?"
Feng Ye laughed loudly, "Haha, it really did fall from the sky."
Feng Jiafa was exasperated and said irritably, "What do you mean, 'fell from the sky'? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
"I'm not kidding you..."
Feng Ye then briefly recounted how he had picked up fish in front of his house the previous afternoon.
After hearing this, Feng Jiafa was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
His wife and children were also stunned.
"This...this is too bizarre! Fish and shrimp actually fall from the sky?"
After a long while, he finally found his voice and muttered to himself.
"It is a bit bizarre, but that's how it is."
Feng Ye shrugged and said.
"You guys are really brave to go out and collect fish during a typhoon. You deserve to be rich."
“When we went out, the typhoon had just started and the wind wasn’t too strong. But later the wind and waves got bigger, so we went back inside and didn’t dare to stay outside anymore.”
"It seems living by the beach isn't all bad!"
"Why don't you move here too, Uncle Fa?"
"Then forget it. My house was built only a few years ago and I'm living there just fine. There's no need to build another one."
As they spoke, Feng Ye and the others unloaded the fish, shrimp, and crabs from the cart and began weighing them.
These fish were already sorted and packed when they were picked up; Feng Jiafa simply checked their freshness by turning over their gills.
"They're all still pretty fresh, let's weigh them directly."
These are all fairly common items, so the prices aren't very high; on average, they cost less than one yuan.
However, they were quite heavy; the twelve baskets together weighed almost 700 jin (350 catties).
The goods delivered this time sold for a little over 600 yuan, which was split among the three of them, with each person earning a little over 200 yuan.
However, Feng Xuan and A-Can only accepted 200 yuan each, giving the change to Feng Ye.
"You just said you picked these up in the workshop, but what about the fish you picked up yesterday afternoon?"
"It's still at home, we'll bring it over in a bit."
"Then hurry up, don't leave it at home for too long and it will go bad, that would be such a waste."
Feng Jiafa was even more anxious than the other three.
After all, this is all money!
He can make a lot of money by simply reselling it.
