"Brother Cheng, I don't really care." Han Xiaotao lowered her head, her words barely audible.
Ye Cheng is unbelievable. Saying such things at a time like this is just asking for trouble.
He quickly turned around and said,
"I understand. Wait for me for two more days."
"Oh, then I'll wait for your message. Just let me know if you need anything." After saying that, Han Xiaotao ran out of Ye Cheng's house.
"What's going on here?" Ye Cheng exclaimed.
Damn it, it shouldn't have been moving just now. Sigh.
Looking at his little brother, he knew he had no choice but to take a shower before going to sleep.
......
The next morning, a little after 6 a.m., Ye Cheng was woken up by Duan Chunsheng.
"Let's go, Cheng, let's pack up."
Ye Cheng yawned and followed them out; young people are sleep-deprived.
Duan Chunsheng was still holding a bunch of fishing bait in his hand, then looked at Ye Cheng's empty hands and said,
"Where's your secret-recipe bait for traps? Bring it with you, we'll go straight to the next batch after we've caught our loot. You didn't prepare anything, did you?"
Ye Cheng scratched his head.
"It's ready, I'll go back and get it."
Ye Cheng turned around and went into the room, where he used the system to exchange for a bunch of exclusive bait. He also took a look at today's system.
Luck value: 50+20
Points: 500
Savings: 400,000; Foreign debt: 10,000; Mortgage: 300,000
My luck stat is so-so, but I'm running out of points. I've already exchanged so many traps and the special baits also require points. If I don't get some back soon, I'll become broke.
After reviewing the system, Ye Cheng emerged with a bag of exclusive bait.
"Uncle, let's go."
"You're pretty quick here, wow, such a big bag! You didn't stay up all night making this, did you?"
"No need, I'm quick."
Duan Chunsheng chuckled, "Your hand speed is fast after being single for over 20 years."
"Damn it! Uncle Duan, you're being indecent!" Ye Cheng exclaimed.
"How can this be considered improper? I'm just telling the truth. You're a single young man, don't you need to be quick with your hands?" Duan Chunsheng revealed a knowing smile that all men understand.
After picking up Xiaohu, the three of them rode their motorcycle towards the dock.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw several people gathered around the bulletin board at the village entrance, looking at something.
Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he rode over there.
"Old Xing, what are you looking at?" Ye Cheng stopped the car and called out.
Since joining the village committee, Lao Xing has started wandering around the village whenever he has free time. In his own words, now that he's a member of the village committee, he should be concerned about village affairs.
However, people just laugh at him because he can't even feed himself.
Besides Lao Xing, there are two other villagers who plan to go to sea.
Seeing Ye Cheng approaching, Old Xing quickly called out.
"Second brother, you're here just in time. Come and see what this means. We don't understand it at all."
The other two echoed this sentiment.
"We only saw a few words and some money, but we couldn't understand them."
Ye Cheng went over and saw that it was the copy of the contract that he had asked Li the Cripple to paste.
Looks like this guy posted it late at night.
"Here, let me see, this is the contract for the purchase." Ye Cheng pretended to look at it carefully.
"Yes, we know this is a contract for buying things, but what's the point of posting it here? Did someone post it wrong?" Old Xing asked, puzzled.
“How could it be pasted here by mistake? There must be something fishy going on,” the other two said confidently.
Xiao Hu and Duan Chunsheng also came down. Xiao Hu knew this, and he stood behind them, silently laughing without saying a word.
Duan Chunsheng was old and had presbyopia, so he leaned forward and struggled to make out the details.
"Look there," Ye Cheng said, pointing to the money on the contract.
"This is 300,000, and then, this is the money for buying the boat."
Then he pointed to the signature area below, pretending to look at it for a long time.
"It's a bit blurry. I think it looks like Chen Jinfa. What do you guys think?"
Once everyone had a general idea, they looked again, and Old Xing immediately exclaimed,
"Yes, yes, it's Chen Jinfa. You young people have such good eyesight."
"Is blonde so rich? Buying a boat for 300,000?" the other two asked curiously.
"Is it about that big ship that the Chen family raised funds to buy?" Ye Cheng asked unhurriedly.
"That's right! The Chen family bought the big ship before, and then sold it. It must be this contract." Old Xing suddenly realized, his eyes becoming incredibly clear.
“But,” one of the villagers continued, “I remember the Chen family spent 320,000 yuan to buy the boat, not 300,000 yuan. The village chief himself said so.”
"Impossible!" Ye Cheng shook his head immediately, then pointed to the amount on the screen and said.
"Didn't you see? The contract says 300,000, so we only spent 300,000."
"Holy crap!" Old Xing suddenly yelled, then looked at the group excitedly and said...
"I understand, I understand!"
"No, Lao Xing, what do you understand? Tell us." Ye Cheng pretended to still look confused.
Old Xing looked at everyone smugly, thinking how clever he was.
"Look, Chen Jinfa spent 300,000 yuan to buy a boat, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Ye Cheng felt like he was playing the straight man in a comedy duo.
"Then the Chen family all thought they spent 320,000 yuan. Where did the 20,000 yuan difference go?"
Old Xing looked at Ye Cheng excitedly; it was time for him to play the straight man.
Ye Cheng immediately performed a pupil shock, then suddenly swung his fist.
"Holy crap, Lao Xing, you mean Chen Jinfa pocketed that 20,000 yuan himself?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Aren't I smart? Hahahaha."
"Wow, Lao Xing, I never would have guessed! Your brain is amazing!" Ye Cheng gave an exaggerated thumbs up.
Little Tiger behind him couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed awkwardly twice and then went to the back to smoke. "You're such a good actor."
Duan Chunsheng understood as well, and he looked at Lao Xing and Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression.
"Is Chen Jinfa really that corrupt? It's impossible that even the Chen family's money is tainted."
Old Xing was already quite pleased with Ye Cheng's flattery, and when Duan Chunsheng questioned him, he immediately became unhappy.
"How is it impossible? Look, it's written in black and white. He did steal 20,000 yuan."
Duan Chunsheng remained silent; it was indeed written in black and white.
Ye Cheng, seeing that this piece of paper was almost finished, pointed to another one.
"Old Xing, take a look at this and see what it means."
This time, Old Xing understood. He went up and followed along, pointing and gesturing, and then began to recite.
"This is the contract for the sale of the boat. It was sold for a total of 270,000 yuan, and Chen Jinfa was the one who sold it."
"Old Xing, do you see anything fishy about this?" Ye Cheng continued to guide him.
"Of course there is. I've heard many people from the Chen family say that they bought it for 320,000 yuan but only sold it for 250,000 yuan. They lost a lot of money," Old Xing said.
Seeing that Lao Xing was so understanding, Ye Cheng quickly shut his mouth and let the bullets fly by themselves.
