I only passed by the village entrance briefly, and Aunt Qian saw me. She must have been waiting for me on purpose.
"Yes, I finished the work quickly today. Auntie, come in and sit down. Did you need something?"
Aunt Qian moved in, looking embarrassed.
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just saw that you've been so busy lately and probably haven't had time to cook, so I happened to have stewed some vegetables and brought some over for you."
As she spoke, Aunt Qian took a bowl of stew out of her basket. Ye Cheng glanced at it and saw a pot of braised pork intestines, still warm.
Damn it, as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding."
Although he knew that eating this would definitely lead to something, Ye Cheng couldn't help but swallow hard. It smelled so good.
Knowing there's a pitfall, Ye Cheng still has to step into it; that's the expression on his face right now.
"Auntie, why are you being so polite? Just tell me what you need."
Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, Aunt Qian's face relaxed. She then sat up straight and looked at Ye Cheng seriously, saying...
“Ah Cheng, look at Fei Yang, he doesn’t have anything to do these days. He keeps saying he wants to go out, but I’m worried about him going out. Do you think the village can find him some work? Or do you need anyone to help you go out to sea?”
It really was about He Feiyang; that's all Aunt Qian was concerned about.
Given the relationship between Aunt Qian and Jiang Yunxiang, Ye Cheng should have made arrangements long ago, but he always felt that He Feiyang was getting a bit arrogant.
He's a bit better after his last time in jail, but his temperament still needs some tempering.
He pondered for a while, then looked at Aunt Qian seriously and said,
"Auntie, we're all family here, so I'll just be honest. I don't need anyone to go out to sea right now."
Hearing Ye Cheng say this, Aunt Qian was a little disappointed. Ye Cheng had some businesses, but going overseas was the most profitable, and Ye Cheng was also very generous.
Now that Ye Cheng says he doesn't need people at the seaport, his son won't get the biggest slice of the pie.
"Let Feiyang go with Duan Yong and the others to raise crayfish first, what do you think? I'll give him 1,000 yuan a month, let him do it for now."
Ye Cheng didn't give her much, only 1,000 a month, and Aunt Qian's face immediately darkened.
Ye Chengli immediately explained,
"Auntie, there's not much to do with crayfish right now, just feeding them, and production hasn't picked up yet. Why don't you let Feiyang get involved first, and once he's settled in at home, I'll give him a raise later, okay?"
Seeing Ye Cheng's sincerity, Aunt Qian was a little unhappy, but she couldn't refute him, since she was the one asking him for a favor.
Besides, my son doesn't know how to raise animals.
I guess you could call him an apprentice. It's not bad to get this much money for an apprentice.
Aunt Qian forced an awkward smile and then said,
"Alright then, I'll let Feiyang go and raise crayfish with them first. But Feiyang has been abroad before, he's seen the world, so you'll have to find him some good jobs later."
Aunt Qian was still unwilling to give up.
"Auntie, don't worry. As long as Feiyang works hard, there will be plenty of things to do in the future. I'm just worried that he'll overwork himself."
“This kid, he’s not afraid of working hard to earn money. You can just let him do the work without worry, and we’ll keep an eye on him.”
"Okay, let him do it for now, I'll make arrangements later."
After seeing Aunt Qian off, Ye Cheng ignored everything else, cooked the rice, and got to work.
When you're young, you don't need a proper mix of meat and vegetables; it's all meat! Meat! Meat!
A bowl of white rice, topped with a spoonful of braised pork intestine broth, the rich, dark sauce and vibrant red color make the rice look absolutely delicious.
The pork intestines were cooked until very tender; Aunt Qian must have spent a lot of time cooking them.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
After finishing his meal, Ye Cheng added a few extra drops of dish soap to the dishes; he had no choice, the intestines were too oily.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ye Cheng lay down in bed and began to think about what to do next.
He Feiyang's matter is easy to handle; I just need to talk to Duan Yong and the others this afternoon.
The matter concerning the four Zhu brothers is rather complicated.
An old saying goes: Porcelain should not be allowed to rub against earthenware jars!
Later generations also developed a similar new term: the principle of the happy ones yielding.
Now that I have a boat and money, it would be a loss for me to follow four hooligans.
However, I can't get over it in my heart if I don't teach them a lesson.
That's outrageous.
If you say you're poor, just come and ask him for it; he can give you anything.
But if you take it without asking, then I'm sorry.
Two methods:
One option is to directly confront them; if a dozen people can't beat them, call in twenty or more, completely tear off the mask of civility, and have both sides agree to a fight.
However, Ye Cheng doesn't like this kind of thing anymore.
Since Chen Jinfa's incident, he's found it quite amusing to scheme against people behind their backs.
The four Zhu brothers are like a ferocious shark.
But no matter how powerful a shark is, it still needs to eat bait. As long as the hook is well hidden, when it bites, its mouth will definitely be full of blood.
As Ye Cheng lay on the boat, a path slowly emerged in his mind.
......
Around 2 PM, Ye Cheng went to Aunt Qian's house and called He Feiyang out.
"Feiyang, you can work at the crayfish farm first. There won't be much work at the moment, mainly feeding and monitoring, so you can get some experience first," Ye Cheng explained as they walked.
He Feiyang looked dejected. When Ye Cheng took him out of the police station, he was very grateful to Ye Cheng and thought Ye Cheng was awesome.
But after a few days of being idle, I felt a little resentful.
After all, Ye Cheng was younger than him and had never left the fishing village. His parents insisted that he work with him, so he was naturally not very willing.
Also, raising crayfish is just raising mantis shrimp, what's so great about that?
Don't be this demanding when raising pigs.
Seeing He Feiyang like this, Ye Cheng was too lazy to comfort him. This kind of person just needs to be tempered.
The two walked in silence to the crayfish pond, where Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng were already waiting.
"Brother Cheng," the two greeted him respectfully.
Ye Cheng waved his hand, then pointed to He Feiyang behind him and said,
"Ayong, Jiansheng, this is Feiyang. They're from the same village, so I won't go into too much detail. From now on, let Feiyang work with you on the aquaculture ponds. He's new to this, so please teach him a lot."
After speaking, Ye Cheng turned to look at He Feiyang.
"There are many intricacies involved in aquaculture. If you have any questions, just ask them."
He Feiyang lowered his head and responded with a sour face.
He Feiyang felt resentful that Ye Cheng and the other two were all younger than him, yet he had to listen to them.
Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng also noticed this, and they gave Ye Cheng a wink. Ye Cheng told He Feiyang to take a look around, and then walked to the side to chat with the two of them.
"Brother Cheng, it seems like He Feiyang doesn't want to come either. If he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to," Duan Yong complained.
“Exactly, we gave him something to do, and it’s like we owe him something.” Yuan Jiansheng also glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
They know the benefits of working for Ye Cheng, yet He Feiyang looks down on them and even gives them attitude—what an idiot.
The two were quite unhappy about having to work with an idiot.
