Chapter 362: Disobedient Wife
"What? What to explain?" Yike moved his eyes left and right, but he didn't dare to look into Ziyi's eyes.
Ziyi was amused. This disobedient wife was so bold that she wanted to cover up her mistake after making it. He sneered and said, "Let me remind you, what's going on with the river, the big river?"
Yike reached out and held Ziyi's hand to free his chin.
She described in detail how her godfather took her and Li Youcai to make a bamboo raft, how they went downstream, how they found the village and found out that it was a small village in the neighboring province, etc.
What Yike meant was that it was her godfather who brought her there, not her alone.
Ziyi knew that Yi Ke would not tell the truth, so he had to ask himself: "Who gave birth to the river, and what about the honey? You'd better tell the truth and don't play tricks, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Yike had no choice but to honestly confess that she found the river while looking for bees. After that, she hugged Ziyi pitifully and said, "Hubby, I miss you so much. I don't want to be idle. The more idle I am, the more I miss you. So I thought of the bees I saw before, and thought about looking for them. If we find them, we can raise bees. Husband, it's not far from here, it only takes a few hours. Now the road has been repaired, and it only takes two hours for the two of us to walk there at most."
"Wife, you miss me, but have you ever thought about how I feel when I know you go into the mountains alone? Have you ever thought about what I should do if something happens to you? Do you want me to dig out my heart before you obey? We are so lucky to have two lives. Please don't let me go through the heart-wrenching pain of my previous life again, okay?" Ziyi hugged Yike's head, rubbed his chin against Yike's forehead, and said in a low voice. A deep feeling of sadness and grief emanated from him.
"Honey, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again next time." Yike put her arms around Ziyi's waist, feeling regretful in her heart.
"Since you know you're wrong, shouldn't you accept the punishment?" Ziyi asked with red eyes.
Yike's eyes met Ziyi's red eyes which were gleaming with tears, and she nodded blankly.
So, poor Yike was punished with a spanking, which was not very harmful but extremely humiliating.
Yike covered her head and hid in the quilt. She absolutely didn't dare to go out today, not even to eat.
She was really too embarrassed to see anyone. She was so old, but she was still spanked. Her butt was burning with pain. How could she explain it if she didn't sit on the stool? Should she tell them that she was spanked?
Ziyi didn't wait for Du Qingcang to come back, he followed the new road to the riverside, where a small pier was being built.
Du Qingcang was working hard when he suddenly heard Ziyi's voice. He looked up in surprise and saw Ziyi standing on the shore.
He happily smeared the cement in his hand into the cracks between the stones, then washed his hands and went ashore.
"Ziyi, you're back just in time. You now know about that big river." Du Qingcang took Ziyi to sit on a rock nearby and talk.
"I know. Yike told me." Ziyi nodded.
Du Qingcang looked around and asked curiously, "Why don't I see Yi Ke? Isn't she the one who likes to come here the most? Didn't she come with you? Cook at home?"
"No, she sneaked into the mountains alone and was punished by me. She is angry now." Ziyi said expressionlessly.
Du Qingcang looked at Ziyi's expression, but couldn't tell what it was. He looked cold and expressionless.
He advised: "Yike is still young, and she has a childish nature. Don't punish her too harshly. Just let her realize the dangers of going into the mountains alone."
"I know the severity of the situation." Ziyi laughed in his heart, "I just made her feel embarrassed to go out. For an active Yike, not being able to go out is the heaviest punishment."
"From now on, we can go in and out of the mountain to buy and sell things and come back on the same day. We don't have to walk in the forest for several days and nights like before." Du Qingcang said happily.
"Buying and selling outside is not allowed." Ziyi poured cold water on him.
"Oh, yeah, when can we trade freely?" Du Qingcang scratched his hair in annoyance, "And we can't go out unless we go back to our original village."
"Godfather, is your household registration still in the original village?" Ziyi asked curiously.
"Of course we are here. We are out here looking for food, and the village has given us a letter of introduction." Du Qingcang glanced at Ziyi.
Ziyi said embarrassedly: "I thought you guys escaped to the mountains, so, hehe, is it the same for other uncles' families?"
"Almost. They all know that they can't find food outside, so they want to go into the mountains and try."
"After so many years, I'm afraid the village's household registration has been cancelled, right?"
"It's possible. But if I go back and want to register a new household, it's still possible. After all, I came from the village."
"Then do you want to go back and take a look?"
"No, I'm just sad. Besides, our place is so nice, I won't cause any trouble."
"The bamboo raft is back, godfather, I'm going to go take a look at that big river."
"Go ahead, let Xiangdong take you there."
Hu Xiangdong was carrying bamboos on a bamboo raft when he came back. When he saw Ziyi, he happily shouted, "Brother Ziyi, you're back."
"Well, you're back. You're very skilled at paddling the bamboo raft." Ziyi praised.
Hu Xiangdong smiled shyly. Du Qingcang helped carry the bamboo to the shore and said, "You send Ziyi to the narrow passage and let your elder brother see the river."
"Okay," Hu Xiangdong pushed the bamboo pole skillfully, and the bamboo raft carrying Ziyi started to move on the water...
In the evening, Ziyi convened a board meeting. There were two topics in the meeting. One was about the cooperation with Beishan Village in raising chickens, and the other was about buying a boat.
Although the only participants in the meeting were Li Youcai, Du Qingcang, Chen Dawang and others who were in the mountain, and shareholders outside the mountain such as Ma Youcai and Wang Feng were not there, but with Yi Ke's one vote of decision-making power, it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
When the company was first established, Ziyi proposed that each of them have one vote of decision-making power and one right of veto. This was because he took into account that these people knew nothing and if they wanted to veto things randomly, the company's development would be hindered. That's why he proposed those two special agreements.
The first item was passed easily, but the second item took a long time to discuss and pass.
The main thing was that Ziyi proposed to buy a boat, and the expense was over a thousand yuan. These people had not seen how much a thousand yuan was for decades, so if you asked them to spend so much money to buy a boat, they would definitely be reluctant to do so. Later, after Ziyi calculated for them how much profit his village could make after buying the boat and how long it would take to earn back the money spent on the boat, everyone reluctantly agreed.
At the same time, Ziyi asked everyone to prepare the wood first. This time when he went out of the mountains, he would invite a craftsman who could make small wooden boats to come into the mountains to make them. For small rivers in the mountains, use small wooden boats instead of bamboo rafts.
