"Your father is here. Tell me what you want to say to him."
Chen Jinfa's face darkened. This kid has a really sharp tongue.
But he's here to collect his money, so he doesn't want to argue about these things.
"Ye Cheng, you had He Feiyang arrested. What about our money? You need to give us an explanation," Chen Jinfa said.
"Yeah, you need to give us an explanation," Chen Jinli shouted, and the people behind him also started yelling.
Most of these people were from the Chen family, but I didn't see Chen Jinhai. I wonder why he didn't come.
"Give me a fucking explanation, you bastard!" Ye Cheng cursed, pointing at the group.
"Did I tell you not to buy it? Did I tell you it was illegal?"
"Look at you lot. There were so many people in the auditorium that day, and only a few of you bought anything. Aren't you stupid enough? You still have the nerve to come asking for money back?"
Several people lowered their heads in shame after being scolded by Ye Cheng. Ye Cheng had said quite a lot in the auditorium that day.
They wanted the money, but they felt a little embarrassed.
They were embarrassed, but Chen Jinfa wasn't.
"I don't care, my 40,000 yuan is yours, Ye Cheng."
"What are you yelling about? Your money never even reached the hands of that pyramid scheme organization; it was directly intercepted by the police."
"Huh?" Chen Jinfa was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
After he realized what was happening, he lowered his voice and asked,
"Second brother, are you saying I didn't lose any money?"
“Yeah, second brother, explain yourself clearly. If he didn’t lose his money, what about ours?” Chen Jinli and the others also gathered around.
Three of these people bought theirs in the auditorium, while the others bought them directly from other people.
The simple statement that there was no loss silenced the group of menacing people.
"I don't know. You should ask the police whether there was any loss. What I say now doesn't count," Ye Cheng said.
"No, did they manage to get the money back?"
“Yes, second brother, you know the police, can you ask them for us?”
"Yes, yes, please help us talk to the police and ask them to return the money to our village."
“I heard that many villages in our township have been scammed. If we don’t have connections, the money we recover will definitely be used to compensate other villages first.”
After hearing what the group said, they suddenly started to panic.
They all looked at Ye Cheng. Now that his attitude had improved, Chen Jinfeng was a little embarrassed to step forward, so he could only give Chen Jinli a wink.
Chen Jinli came over with a fawning smile and offered cigarettes to Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu, but Ye Cheng was too lazy to accept them.
He could only awkwardly continue speaking.
"Second brother, please forgive my petty mistake. We're all from the same village, and it's not easy for anyone to earn money. Could you please help me out and put in a good word with the higher-ups?"
Ye Cheng glanced at him sideways, then at the group of people standing there.
Most of them don't get along very well normally, but they're people you see all the time.
Chinese people have always had a style of clearly distinguishing between internal and external struggles, and giving way to external struggles in the face of internal struggles.
His issues with the Chen family are internal problems, while the problems with the village and the pyramid scheme are external problems.
He can still distinguish that.
He cleared his throat, then raised his voice and said,
"Alright, I've told the police everything I needed to say. I can't control what they do with me. I'll call back later to check on the progress. Please stop crowding around my house."
Hearing that Ye Cheng was willing to call the police, everyone smiled happily. In their eyes, it meant they finally had connections.
"Thank you, second brother."
"Thank you, second brother."
"Second brother, you are truly a magnanimous person."
A group of people arrived angrily, then bowed and retreated.
Xiao Hu glanced at Ye Cheng with displeasure.
"Brother, these people are all ingrates. Are you just going to let them get away with this? Have you forgotten what happened with Chen Zhangfu last time?"
Ye Cheng's face darkened; he certainly hadn't forgotten that betrayal.
“This time it’s different. Other villagers were also scammed. We’re all from the same village, so we should help each other out.”
"Brother, I'm afraid you'll get backstabbed again. You're not a turtle, how many times can your shell stab you?"
"Damn it, you're the turtle! Go inside and wash the razor clams, I'm going to make a phone call."
Ye Cheng went inside and took out his phone to call Song Zhiyong.
However, no one answered after the phone rang for a long time, so Ye Cheng decided not to keep calling and would try again later.
Xiao Hu has almost finished washing up; it's basically just a quick rinse with water. Now all that's left is for Ye Cheng to cook.
Ye Cheng plans to cook this seafood separately.
If you make razor clams into scallion oil, it's so fragrant.
First, boil a pot of water, then put the razor clams in, add a spoonful of oil, scallions, ginger, and garlic, and it will be ready to serve in no time.
"Little Tiger, come over here and arrange the black lines on the plate," Ye Cheng called out, summoning Little Tiger, who was currently slaying monsters.
"Arrange them nicely, like the ones in a fancy restaurant," Ye Cheng said, pointing to a plate of razor clams.
"Brother, you're getting more and more dramatic. You never used to make such a fuss." Xiao Hu muttered as he slowly worked on his food.
Ye Cheng didn't care about him; it was just a matter of pouring oil on him at the end.
All those whelks and cat's-eye snails were boiled together in one pot, and we'll just make a dipping sauce for them to eat later.
However, Ye Cheng felt that he had cooked it for a bit too long, and the meat would probably get a little tough in a while.
Unfortunately, he's not a professional cook.
The remaining two dishes were also quick and easy; the blue crabs were simply steamed in a pot.
The last dish of clams was stir-fried over high heat. Since both of them prefer strong flavors, Ye Cheng added a lot of chili peppers and a generous amount of soy sauce for color, resulting in a dish with a strong wok hei (wok aroma).
After finishing everything here, Xiao Hu finally got it almost done, but the way it was arranged was really so-so.
"Damn, Tiger, you'd better find a wife who can cook, or you'll starve to death."
"Brother, what are you talking about? What woman doesn't know how to cook?"
Ye Cheng shook his head. "Dude, there are still less than 20 years left. When you get there, you'll see how many girls are still willing to cook for you. They'll all be fairies by then."
Or perhaps she went abroad to become a devoted wife and mother.
Pour soy sauce over the razor clams, then add chopped green onions. Finally, pour a pot of hot oil over them, and the scallion oil razor clams are ready.
The fragrance wafted straight into my nose, and I couldn't shake it off.
Little Tiger is already drooling.
"Brother, who will marry you and enjoy a life of luxury in the future?"
"Get lost! Can't I find a wife who can cook? Hurry up and bring the dishes up."
After Xiao Hu brought the dishes up, Ye Cheng realized that there was no beer left in the refrigerator.
How could a ventilation package be complete without one? Ye Cheng went to Li the Cripple's place and got a case of beer.
When I got back and looked at the table, damn it, a third of the razor clams were gone, and there was a pile of razor clam shells on the table.
