"Okay, I'll go and withdraw the money then. I won't shortchange those two traitors." Widow Zhang still spoke of the word "traitors" with resentment.
After Ye Cheng finished speaking, Yuan Jiansheng suddenly interrupted, "Brother Cheng, when are we going to start?"
"What? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Cheng said calmly.
His face remained calm, but inside he was incredibly pleased. He wanted to make the other person anxious, to let them know how good the benefits were at their big factory, damn it.
“Brother Cheng, I only make 600 yuan a month as an apprentice in a machinery factory in the city, while you guys make several thousand a month. How can I not be anxious?”
"If you're in such a hurry, then work hard. You can't go wrong following the second son, understand, A-Yong?" Duan Chunsheng finally spoke, taking the opportunity to give his son a little nudge.
"Yeah, if you're in a hurry, just get started. If you need to go somewhere far, you can ride my motorcycle." Ye Cheng pointed to the motorcycle parked in the yard, which he had just returned and then lent out again.
Upon hearing that they could ride motorcycles, the two young men were eager to set off immediately.
The afternoon meeting was a successful one, a victorious one, and it successfully mitigated the impact of the Chen brothers' betrayal.
After the meeting, Ye Cheng pulled Duan Yong aside and talked about the shrimp farm. First, they needed to select the right shrimp and then build a house for the seedling pond. Ye Cheng asked Duan Yong to do all of this at the same time as the shrimp harvest, especially the selection of the right shrimp.
When harvesting shrimp, the strong ones should be kept as breeding stock. As for the houses for the seedling ponds, if there are no existing ones, Ye Cheng plans to build one directly, and he will pay for it.
After finishing all that, Ye Cheng felt much better, knowing that his plan could proceed smoothly.
That evening, Ye Guowei went to his older brother's house for dinner. Worried that Ye Cheng might be in a bad mood, Ye Guowei even had a few drinks with him. After listening to Ye Cheng recount the events that followed, Ye Guowei also shared some good news with him.
“Acheng, we’ll be able to harvest a batch of clams soon. When we start making money here, you’ll have some money to spare.”
"Huh? You can take it now?"
Ye Cheng remembered that it hadn't been that long, so how could he have reaped such a harvest so quickly? That seemed a bit exaggerated.
Speaking of this, Ye Guowei also found it strange.
"I don't know either. Logically, it should take at least half a year, but it's only been three months and it's already quite big."
Has the breeding time been shortened?
this?
Could it be related to the system?
Ye Cheng didn't tell his older brother yet; he just chatted casually for a bit and then went home.
As I passed the village entrance, I saw a large group of people chatting under the big tree there.
They were having a pleasant conversation, but their voices immediately dropped when they saw Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng understood that they were talking about what happened during the day, and most likely they were muttering about him. He didn't care, since he could live a good life even if he didn't become the village chief.
He wanted to leave, but someone didn't want him to.
"Ye Cheng, you're leaving already? Aren't you going to chat for a bit? We're still here." An annoying voice came from the crowd. Chen Jinhai walked out, looking smug, followed by several of his uncles and elders from the Chen family.
Judging from their expressions, they were very pleased with themselves. Chen Jinli was also in the middle, but his expression wasn't very good.
Ye Cheng was naturally pleased when someone acted like a jerk.
Ye Cheng turned around and went to greet him with a smile, "Isn't this our village chief? What's wrong? Don't want to live too long and come out looking for a lightning strike?"
"Ye Cheng, how dare you speak to me like that?"
"You have no manners, do you?"
"She has absolutely no manners."
Several of Chen's uncles and elders condemned the incident in unison, thinking that raising their voices would scare people away.
That's absolutely infuriating.
Ye Cheng glanced at them indifferently and said slowly,
“My parents taught me from a young age that you should be well-mannered towards people, but there’s no need to be so with dogs or those sneaky mice. You should scold them if you need to. We’re already dogs, and old dogs at that, why should we be afraid of being scolded?”
With just a few words, he cursed the entire Chen family. Several old men were so angry that their beards stood on end, and they pointed at Ye Cheng and started cursing. Only Chen Jinli remained with them.
"Alright!" Chen Jinhai raised his hand, his face dark, signaling everyone to stop, then stared at Ye Cheng and said,
"Ye Cheng, we are your uncles and elders. Even if your parents were alive, they would treat us with great respect."
"Oh, then go down and tell them to continue to treat you politely," Ye Cheng said casually.
"You..." Chen Jinhai was so angry that his chest ached.
The villagers watching from behind covered their mouths and laughed. Ye Lao Er's words were really vicious; he was practically cursing someone to die.
However, since the two sides were already bitter rivals in today's election, there was really no need to be sentimental anymore.
"Let me tell you, Ye Cheng, as long as you're in the village, you'd better behave yourself. If anything happens to you, I won't protect you," Chen Jinhai said angrily after catching his breath.
"Protect me? You?" Ye Cheng sneered disdainfully. "You should protect your own dog life. You've done so many despicable things. Aren't you afraid of going to the eighteenth level of hell after you die?"
After saying that, Ye Cheng was too lazy to bother with these old fogies anymore, it was a waste of time.
My time is money; even killing a few monsters is better than arguing with you guys here.
Watching Ye Cheng's retreating figure, Chen Jinhai's face turned ashen. He turned back to look at Chen Jinli and asked, "Jinli, we were all cursing him just now, why didn't you say anything?"
Chen Jinli looked at Chen Jinhai with a resentful expression, "You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you becoming this lousy village chief, would my two sons have offended Ye Cheng? We would have lost all our money."
Hearing Chen Jinli complain, Chen Jinhai curled his lip in disdain.
“Jinli, our Chen family has been the village chief for generations. This is about the big picture, and you must prioritize the big picture.”
"What grand strategy? What's the use of being a village chief if you don't have money? Now Zhang Fu and the others can only go to the city to work."
Chen Jinli became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Originally, it was nothing, but when Widow Zhang brought the money today, there was so much money, and he regretted it to death.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have cared whether you became village chiefs or not; I would have just focused on making sure my own family was doing well first.
Don't talk to me about old patriarchs; even the Dragon King couldn't help you.
My two sons have nothing to do, so they plan to go to the city to work tomorrow. They'll be lucky to earn 800 yuan a month, and it'll be hard work.
Moreover, because of this incident, Chen Zhangfu no longer wanted to talk to him.
Honestly, these people have no connection whatsoever.
Now, they've lost out on their own family while everyone else has gotten theirs.
So all the emotional suffering has to be borne by our family?
Growing angrier the more he thought about it, Chen Jinli flung his hands away and said angrily,
"Don't bother me with anything related to the Chen family anymore, damn it."
After saying that, he didn't want to stay any longer and went straight home to see if his two sons could forgive him.
After Ye Cheng got home, he first opened the system. He needed to see if his older brother's rapid clam farming was related to the system.
