Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 132: Wang An comes to cause trouble

Tan Shaoyang gave Zhaodi 20 yuan as a reward, and said openly, without any concealment, "We worked together to catch the fish, and we will split the profit in half."

The price of 40 yuan is a lot of money for the villagers, after all, the price is higher than that of pork.

Zhaodi opened her big round eyes, holding the money, and looked at him without saying a word. She called out weakly, "Uncle, will mom scold me?"

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Don't worry, take it. If she dares to scold you, your uncle will teach her a lesson."

The villagers were stunned, they couldn't believe that he just gave so much money without any hesitation.

"Tan Laosan, you made 40 yuan from this fish? It's more expensive than pork."

"That's a lot of money for a child. Just buy her a pound or two of pork and let her eat as much as she wants!"

Tan Shaoyang smiled and then said, "The big bosses outside are rich and willing to pay high prices for rare things, so I got a bargain."

"This is just luck. Not everything will be as stormy as expected. This is just a one-time deal, not a long-term way to make money."

"As for the money, Zhaodi has contributed a lot, how can we fool a child? We can't deny her contribution just because she is a child."

Then he patted Zhaodi's head and said, "Go, give the money to your mother and ask her to buy you two beautiful clothes. Just say it was your uncle who asked you to do so."

"You earned this money. If mom doesn't buy it for you, come and tell your uncle."

The typical look of support!

Seeing how Tan Shaoyang indulged the child, the villagers nearby dared not make fun of Tan Shaoqing!

She is getting divorced and moving back to her parents' home with her children, but she has family members supporting her behind the scenes, so what is there to talk about? She can still make money and live a good life!
Tan Shaoyang didn't care what the villagers would think, he just gave the money without feeling any regret. As a grown man, he could just continue to earn money, how could he erase the contribution of his child!
He didn't reveal the truth. If people knew that he had earned 100 yuan, it would have caused trouble. It was better to keep it half-true and half-false. After all, 40 yuan was a high price in the eyes of others.

And this is also the market price.

It was only because he was willing to go through so much trouble and run to the city that he could earn a little more.

Since it’s the money I earned through hard work, I won’t feel guilty about taking it.

As soon as he got home, Tan Shaoqing came over with the money in his hand. "Old Third, how could you give so much money to a child? What if he gets pregnant?"

"Take the money back quickly. What can a child understand? You should take the money you earned."

"You haven't started a family yet, so you should learn to save money and not spend money lavishly."

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Sister Qing, although Zhaodi is a child, we can't ignore her contributions. How can she be diligent in the future?"

"This is what she deserves. It is right to give it to her."

"This child is sensitive and has finally become a little braver. Don't let her scare her back into her shell."

"Buy two sets of clothes for the child and sew them so they can be worn when the weather gets cooler. The money is hers, and there is no reason to take it back."

"Children's clothes are all patched up. We can't treat them badly. I don't say they should be beautiful, but they should be neat and tidy at least!"

I bought it for my child last year, but after getting enough nutrition, he grew a lot taller, so the ones I see now are too short, and they are torn from rubbing against the knees due to frequent wearing.

Although they can be worn after mending, but what about children? Who doesn’t want new clothes?
Now that they are back home, they should be treated as treasures in your hands. If others have them, how can your own children not have them too?
"Take it back. I can't buy it for her alone, otherwise my second sister-in-law will complain again. Sister Qing took care of me when I was growing up, so it's only natural for me to take care of Zhaodi now."

"Don't worry, this is something I enjoy doing."

Tan Shaoqing sighed, "You don't have to help me all the time. I can make money. After I sell the dried clams, I can pay you back the money I owe you."

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "I don't have the time to help you. This money is earned by Zhaodi, just buy her clothes directly, don't spend it on other things."

"Bring the clams here when they're done drying. I'll buy some pork belly and I'll kill one for you first."

"Grandma is telling you that even if I don't take care of you, you have to take care of grandma. The old lady is old and she can't miss a day of good life. She has to eat meat when there is meat."

"As for the compensation, don't worry. I'm not in a hurry to use the money. Just pay me back when you have more money on hand."

"Anyway, life just keeps going on, things will definitely get better and better in the future, there's no need to worry about it."

Grandma Tan was used to living there. Ever since Tan Shaoqing and his mother and daughter came back, the three of them had been cooking together. He didn't eat from the same pot, but would always offer his meal to the old lady if there was anything delicious.

Seeing her stubborn look, Tan Shaoqing knew that he could not persuade her, so he simply gave up. He thought that the weather would turn cooler in two months, so it was time to prepare clothes.

Last year’s clothes were too short and tattered. Everyone else had new clothes to wear, so she couldn’t bear to treat her daughter badly.

So he took the children to the street and bought a lot of necessary cloth and cotton. Of course, he did not forget to prepare a set for the old lady.

Tan Shaoyang was very sincere to the mother and daughter. Knowing how filial he was to the old lady, she would naturally spare no effort to honor the old lady.

In this way, he returned to the village with a lot of things to do.

Although it cost a lot, it was the first time I didn’t feel burdened.

Without pressure, life will be comfortable and you can shop without worries.

Who knew that this matter would cause some twists and turns. There will always be some short-sighted people who can't stand others living a good life.

He quietly told Wang An that his daughter had made money, and that Tan Shaoqing had opened his own shop and was making a lot of money!

Wang An felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He could get a divorce, but when he heard that his wife was living so smoothly after returning to her parents' home, he felt unwilling to accept it.

Why is his family such a mess? His mother was taken away and never came back, and his wife is a lazy person who can only get by with three meals a day.

He was already feeling aggrieved, and now when he heard that his daughter could make money, his heart was filled with anxiety.

The child is his, so if he can earn money, he should spend it on him as a father! It is only natural for him to ask for some money.

This is a typical case of the wound healed and the pain forgotten. He completely forgot about the lesson he received from Tan Shaoyang earlier and wanted to jump around again.

This was driven by the desire for money. By the time he realized it, he had already arrived at the small fishing village, so he just sneaked over.

He planned to take the money and leave without arguing with anyone, so as to avoid angering Tan Shaoyang and making him unhappy.

Anyway, he can control women and children, so I don't think they would dare to resist him.

Tan Shaoqing is at home now, running the store and tailoring clothes. On the eaves, piles of dried clams are spread out on a winnowing basket to dry in the sun. They will be ready for harvest after a day or two.

Zhaodi was knocking the snails she had picked up and throwing them to the hens to eat. She said that the more she fed them, the bigger the eggs they would lay. It was quiet and peaceful, a state of tranquility.

Wang An came in at this time. He saw that his daughter had grown a lot taller, with a fleshy face, and was clean and pretty.

Life is pretty good after returning to the fishing village!
There are seafoods everywhere on the seaside, and we have enough food for three meals a day, so how can it be bad?
He took another look into the jar and found that the bucket next to it was also filled with quite a lot of stuff, which he had eaten before and used to cook porridge, which tasted very sweet and sour.

He reached out and grabbed a few things, thinking that he would have to bring something back when he returned. In his mind, even if Tan Shaoqing returned home, she would still be his wife, so bringing things home was no big deal.

There was a loud sound coming from the iron barrel. When Tan Shaoqing heard the sound, he put down the cloth in his hand and went out to check. The moment he saw Wang An, the gentle smile on his face froze.

His body was shaking with anger, and he said in an accusing tone, "Why are you here?"

He thought that we would never see each other again, but when they suddenly met, those long-lost memories reverberated in his mind, causing the resentment in his heart to surge up again.

When Wang An heard the sound, he looked up and saw Tan Shaoqing standing by the door. His face was rosy, unlike before when he was pale and skinny. Instead, his skin was shiny.

It's much more beautiful than before.

He looked at it and couldn't take his eyes away for a while.

Tan Shaoqing frowned, not liking the look in his eyes, and coughed. Wang An was awakened by the sound. The moment he came to his senses, he subconsciously slowed down his pace and walked towards her.

Tan Shaoqing knew him so well that he could guess what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. For a moment, a feeling of nausea came over him.

She turned around, pulled a chair, glared at him with resentment, and cursed him viciously, "Stop, don't take another step forward, or don't blame me for beating you."

Thinking about what happened between him and that woman, she felt sick just getting close to him, let alone touching him. She didn't want to vomit up all the food she had eaten the previous night.

Wang An felt good about himself, but he didn't think she was so heartless. "Shaoqing, let's continue to live a good life, okay?"

"Why do we have to make it to the point of being enemies?"

"We both have a daughter now. Even for the sake of the child, we won't make a fuss."

Tan Shaoqing felt sick after listening to his words, "How can you say such shameless words when you don't know your own weight?"

"I must have been blind to marry you. I didn't recognize your true face. If I had another chance, I would definitely stay away from your Wang family."

"Get out of here! I don't want to see you again in my life. When I come back, you'll be worried about whether your legs will be broken!"

Wang An's face darkened when he heard this. Recalling the distant memories, he was gnashing his teeth towards Tan Shaoyang. Now when he heard his name, he was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

"Tan Lao San, Tan Lao San, how could he possibly be so patient? Why is he everywhere?"

"He also meddled in the affairs of other couples. He did such an immoral thing, isn't he afraid of retribution?"

Wang An's eyes were filled with resentment. If it weren't for him, how could his life have become such a mess?

Tan Shaoqing smiled sarcastically, "Who is being punished? Your mother is suffering for the sins she committed, and you are not much different. Who do you think will be punished?"

Wang An was extremely angry. Seeing her holding the stool in a show of force, he immediately went up to snatch it away and threw it aside.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to hear this."

"You can let me leave. I heard that my daughter made money, and she made 20 yuan. You pay me 40 yuan and I will leave immediately."

"You can pick up seafood at the beach, and you have a store, so a few dozen dollars shouldn't be a problem."

Tan Shaoqing didn't expect him to say such shameless words, and refused without thinking, "I don't have money, I just bought clothes for the child."

"I'm not in good health and can't pick up the goods. The store only sells some snacks. I can't buy firewood, rice, oil and salt. If you want money, find a way yourself. Don't try to take advantage of us."

Even if she had money, she would never give it to him. She had finally gotten away, but she didn't want to fall into the abyss again. She never wanted to come into contact with such a cancer again.

Wang An pushed her away and wanted to search.

How could Tan Shaoqing be willing to do that? Even if there were only a few loose coins in it, he would not let him take it away.

"Wang An, I advise you not to be ungrateful. If you dare to steal money today, I will report you to the police tomorrow for theft."

"You should know how powerful the police's deterrent power is. After your mother experienced it herself, I believe you don't want to experience it again, right?"

Tan Shaoqing is no longer the timid person she used to be. Even for the sake of her children, she has to be strong.

If you don't take a firm attitude, it means you are indulging him, and he might come to harass you often in the future!
If you want to solve the problem from the root, you must not let him succeed. Let him know the seriousness of the matter so that he will not dare to come and cause trouble in the future.

Wang An gritted his teeth and creaked as he listened, his eyes showing ferocity, "You dare to threaten me, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"

Tan Shaoqing was furious and hit him with a carrying pole beside him, "You want to hit me, right? Haven't I been beaten enough? I'll let you hit me."

Tan Shaoqing harbored hatred for him in his heart, and his blows were ruthless. A few blows would definitely make people feel pain. At this moment, she had no time to care about other things, and all she could think about was the way he beat her.

The more angry you are in your heart, the harder you will use your hands.

After a few more hits, Wang An escaped.

He never thought that the man who was weak before would now be so strong and could beat people without mercy.

Tan Shaoqing looked at the people who escaped into the yard, his body trembling with anger. Although he was very scared, he could not compromise for the sake of his daughter.

He wanted to continue chasing him, but Wang An just ran away with the bucket. Since he was already here, if he didn't take the things with him, wouldn't it be a wasted trip and a wasted beating?
"Put the bucket down for me. Don't even think about taking my things. I don't want you to take even a piece of mud with you."

"My little daughter was murdered, and both mother and daughter have never had a good day. And you still want to take my things. Isn't this wishful thinking?"

"I would rather feed these things to chickens than let you eat them. It would be a waste of my food if you ate them."

"You lazy people deserve to starve to death. Lazy people don't deserve to live."

Tan Shaoqing's curses were extremely vicious and merciless, and the sound was so loud that people around could hear it clearly.

So what if people just watch the fun?

She had to live her own life, and she just didn't want to encourage his arrogance, lest he would tie her up like a leech in the future.
