Chen Jinhai thought to himself, "Nonsense, if it weren't for wanting to mess with you, who would bother with this lousy beach?"
However, he dared not say that now, as Ye Cheng was still holding a shovel, and it was hard to say what would happen if he angered him.
"Second brother, it's not what you think. I'll only blockade it for a few days. Once the weather at sea improves, I'll lift the blockade. This is for your safety and the safety of the villagers, right?"
This old bastard is even putting on airs. If Ye Cheng insists on disagreeing and something goes wrong, Chen Jinhai will have something to say: it's Ye Cheng's fault.
Ye Cheng considered for a moment, then nudged Chen Jinhai and said, "Two days, at most two days of lockdown. Tell everyone it's the village committee's decision."
Ye Cheng felt that two days wouldn't be a big deal.
"No, the village committee isn't just mine alone," Chen Jinhai complained.
"Uncle, we're all smart people, you don't need to treat me like a fool. Should I tell you or not?" Ye Cheng twirled the shovel in his hand.
"Speak, speak!" Chen Jinhai shouted.
"Well, folks, I've discussed it with Ye Lao Er. This place will be temporarily locked down for two days, and then it will be unsealed. I hope everyone will take good care of their families and not go inside during these two days, okay?"
After saying that, Chen Jinhai turned to look at Ye Cheng, "Is this alright?"
Ye Cheng released his arm from Chen Jinhai and said loudly to Chen Jinhai, "I firmly support the village committee's decision."
After saying that, Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu a wink, and the two of them headed back to the village along the coast.
As soon as they left, Duan Yong and the others immediately stood up for Chen Jinhai, "Uncle, didn't we agree that the lockdown would last forever? Why was it only for two days?"
Chen Jinhai rolled his eyes at them and said resentfully, "I think you don't want to block him, you want me dead."
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Ye Lao Er, why are you in such a hurry?
Seeing that he was angry, Duan Yong and the others didn't dare to say anything.
On the other side, Xiao Hu glanced behind him and, seeing no one following, felt relieved. He took a couple of steps forward and asked softly, "Brother, are we really going to let them seal it off?"
"Yes, just two days."
"Brother, if we agree, won't they look down on us? That would be so embarrassing."
Ye Cheng stopped and looked at Xiao Hu seriously, saying, "Xiao Hu, we used to be hooligans in the village, and we cared about face, but that face was fake and empty. In the future, we are people who will do great things, and we will also care about face, but that face will be given to us willingly."
Do you understand?
Xiao Hu shook his head like a rattle drum, "I don't understand, I can understand it when I hear it, it's just a bit tongue-twisting."
Ye Cheng pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at him. "I'm just telling you not to always be concerned about saving face. You need to focus on interests. When we become strong, people will come to us for face. Got it?"
"I understand. I'll back down this time and we'll talk about it next time."
"Brilliant, you're truly brilliant." Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu a thumbs up, speechless.
"Brother, don't go! Are we still going to go beachcombing today?"
"I'm not going. I'll rest today and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ye Cheng turned his back to Xiao Hu and went home.
My luck stat is only 30 today, so going there would be pointless. That's why Ye Cheng agreed to Chen Jinhai's request to blockade the area for two days.
This time, Chen Jinhai was given a warning; the old guy will probably have to be careful from now on.
To deal with someone like him, you either need to be more powerful than him, or you need to be more ruthless than him; of course, using both methods simultaneously is the best approach.
Now that Ye Cheng has no money or power, the only way to intimidate him is through ruthlessness.
I believe that after a while, when he has money, even Chen Jinhai himself won't dare to provoke him.
As soon as Ye Cheng arrived at his doorstep, he saw Widow Zhang standing there anxiously.
"Second brother, you're back." Widow Zhang greeted Ye Cheng with an awkward expression.
Ye Cheng stopped, remained silent, and stared at Widow Zhang.
When Widow Zhang was stared at like that by Ye Cheng, she immediately became a little flustered. "Um, Second Brother, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. It's just that you gave me too much, and I... I couldn't help but brag a bit."
I told them not to tell anyone, but they went back and told them everything.
Widow Zhang lowered her head and spoke softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong.
Ye Cheng sighed. People like Widow Zhang are just not suited to sudden wealth; once they get a windfall, they can't control themselves.
"Alright, Auntie, it's nothing serious, you can go back now." Ye Cheng didn't want to say anything more.
Widow Zhang sensed the coldness in Ye Cheng's tone. She wanted to explain further, but Ye Cheng had already gone inside, so she could only helplessly return home.
I should have refused to tell these people; now they've cut off my source of income.
Ye Cheng doesn't need to cook dinner today; his older brother, Ye Guowei, invited him over for a meal.
Ye Cheng waited until 5:30 before going over; by then, his older brother should have already returned.
As soon as I entered, I saw several cold dishes already laid out on the table. They were even main dishes, including cold braised beef, sliced pig ears, and pig head meat. Jiang Yunxiang was also cooking inside.
"Brother, you've struck it rich! You've even prepared such fancy dishes." Ye Cheng joked.
"Your sister-in-law said she wanted to thank you, so she bought this especially for you. She's still stewing pig's trotters. I'll have a drink with you later." Ye Guowei had already returned, shirtless after taking a shower.
"Brother, what's wrong with your shoulder?" Ye Cheng pointed to Ye Guowei's shoulder, which was red and looked a bit off.
"Yeah, I helped unload some chemicals today. It was a bit hot, but I washed it off with water and I'm fine now."
Ye Cheng knew that what was called "burning" was corrosive; it would cause a burning sensation and pain if it came into contact with the skin.
"Brother, don't do this kind of stuff anymore. Your health is more important."
"What does health matter? Making money is the most important thing. Thanks to you for taking out the money this time, we were able to pay it back, and your sister-in-law can finally sleep peacefully."
So it was about paying back the money. No wonder he said he wanted to thank himself.
"Brother, I also have a share in the family's debt, so there's no need to thank me. But next time you have something good to eat, you can call me, I don't mind."
"Second Uncle, you're such a glutton!" DouDou, who was still writing, said in a childish voice.
"Yeah, Second Uncle is a glutton, isn't Dou Dou too?" Ye Cheng smiled and pulled out a piece of chocolate from behind his back, waving it in front of Dou Dou.
Dou Dou, such a young child, couldn't withstand Ye Cheng teasing him like that. He could still write a few words, but he suddenly put down his pen and tried to grab the chocolate.
Ye Cheng snatched the chocolate back in a flash and teased him, "What? Want some?"
"Yes, I want to eat it." DouDou nodded firmly.
"Is Second Uncle a glutton?"
"Second Uncle is not a glutton, Second Uncle is the best, Second Uncle is handsome."
This little brat is quite the smooth talker when it comes to flattery, making Ye Cheng too embarrassed to tease him anymore.
