Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 135: I need a lesson, so I put a sack on you and beat you up

After Tan Shaoyang left, Lao Tie dragged the soaked Xiaoqing into a dense area where it would be difficult for people to notice her, then he pulled her and kissed her fiercely.

Xiaoqing was trembling with fear, her pupils were wide open, even though she knew what was going to happen, she was still very scared.

Suddenly I was pulled to be kissed and I trembled with fear.

Isn’t Tiege Sister Liu’s man?

How could he do this to her?
Lao Tie is very good at reading people's faces, especially those who are as blank as a sheet of paper. He comforted and consoled them, "You don't want to make money? As long as you make money, you can buy beautiful clothes and dress up beautifully."

"Following Brother Tie will definitely make you money."

Lao Tie used his eloquent tongue to quickly coax the girl into submission, and then they became a pair of wild mandarin ducks again, experiencing a unique feeling.

Xiaoqing was shy and thought that following Laotie would give her a stable life and she would listen to him obediently in the future.

Who knew this was the beginning of the fall?

After many experiences, she came to realize that she should have listened to Tan Shaoyang in the first place, at least she would not have fallen into the status of a tool for making money.

But regret has been done and there is no way to reverse it.

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to know what happened to others, so he found another batch of betel nut trees. Betel nut can be picked many times a year, depending on the purpose.

Raw betel nuts can be picked from August to January of the following year. They are divided into different batches and can be picked soon. Tan Shaoyang goes from door to door, negotiates the price with people and signs the agreement.

Dried betel nuts are sold at 5 yuan per pound, which is like pie in the sky for the people in this remote mountain village.

This place is not covered by sea water, and there is no other way to make money except growing betel nuts. If they can sell them at such a high price, why would they hesitate?
After all, the location is remote, and people who usually come to purchase will lower the price and simply cannot offer such a high price. Now they sign the agreement without any hesitation.

Tan Shaoyang was also very satisfied. At least he didn’t have to worry about running out of goods. He had just made a lot of money last year, so how could he not continue this year?

Moreover, it seems that the cultivated area is even larger than that in Zhangjia Village, so the amount of goods obtained in this batch will definitely not be small.

Only after everything was discussed did they return to the village.

After returning, he took Liu Qiang out and went to the place where Lao Tie often went out. He put a sack on the man and beat him up. He always made trouble for him every now and then. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would think he was easy to bully!
Lao Tie was beaten so hard that he wailed and begged for mercy repeatedly, but Tan Shaoyang showed no mercy and became even more brutal.

The old man who had been beating him lay on the ground dying, unable to move, and then he signaled Xu Qiang to leave.

Xu Qiang enjoyed the beating very much, with a look of joy on his face. He was usually a talkative person, but suddenly he was unable to hold back his words, and when he came to a place where there was no one around, he couldn't help talking nonstop.

"Third brother, why should we beat him up?"

"What did that kid do to offend you?"

Tan Shaoyang snorted coldly, and then said, "That kid guessed that I was making money, so he used his old tricks again and tried to get money from me again. It's disgusting enough that I can't get rid of the anger in my heart unless I beat him up."

"Don't tell anyone about this. We shouldn't let others know what we did secretly."

Xu Qiang nodded, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will keep it a secret."

Tan Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder. This kid is tenacious and not afraid of anything, otherwise it would be impossible to pull him over.

Just as the two were about to leave, they saw Xu Qiang's uncle sneaking over in the dim moonlight.

Xu Qiang clenched his fists and made them creak. "My cousin is really hopeless. It's ok for him to sleep with a widow in the village, but he actually dared to run away."

"My aunt worked hard to earn money, but I'm afraid he squandered it all."

Tan Shaoyang patted his shoulder. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. This exciting feeling must be addictive for him.

Lao Tie must have figured out his true nature and coaxed him over. After a moment, someone came to pick him up. The two of them were very intimate and it was obvious that this was not the first time.

"Let's go! It's a fight between two people, don't get involved, or you'll be blamed!"

Xu Qiang's excited mood turned into depression. With such a person in the family, the family tradition has been ruined.

It's just a pity for the child, it's such a sin.

"Can I report him?"

Tan Shaoyang said, "It's possible, but I'm afraid that Lao Tie will come out and retaliate against you. A scoundrel like him dares to do anything. There's no need to confront him head-on."

"But there is a solution. The people Lao Tie found came from all over the place. Just take a photo and send it back home. Someone will always take care of them."

"Just have to endure the nausea and take some pictures."

Tan Shaoyang's idea was quickly recognized by Xu Qiang, and he rented a camera the next day to collect evidence.

The letters at that time were not so fast.

Find the specific location, send it out, and then have to wait for a long time.

After finishing these, I returned to the village.

Tan Shaoyang has been missing for a few days, but the mute girl's father has made some money again. It's not a unique business, and he has understood the principle from the beginning, so he might as well make money!

If he can't even have a sip of soup, he will definitely cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, when he returned home, Grandma Tan had dried a lot of sea cucumbers for him, and the villagers would sell him the good ones, so the pork was worth it.

"Grandma, I'll take the quilt and make you a new one. This one has become old after using it for so long."

After hearing this, Grandma Tan hurried to stop him and said, "Don't mess around. My quilt will become fluffy again after drying it in the sun. It's not like it can't be used as a blanket. Don't waste your money."

"Besides, that was what your grandfather prepared for me when I got married. That's all I have left. You can't change it for me."

Grandma Tan was protective of him and even pushed him out, not giving him any chance to get close to his room, which made Tan Shaoyang feel both amused and helpless.

Normally she would pull him aside to ask about his well-being, but now she didn't feel sorry for him and drove him out.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to change, then buy two more cotton-padded clothes to wear."

"Your grandson has made money, so he wants to honor you. You have to give him a chance!"

Grandma Tan asked in disbelief, "Did you really make money? I was worried that you wouldn't even be able to make back the money you paid for your meat!"

Tan Shaoyang nodded affirmatively, "Of course, if I can't make money, I won't give them the opportunity to take advantage of me!"

Grandma Tan felt relieved. "Then when are you going to find a partner? You should find one now. Grandma is still waiting to take care of your great-grandchildren!"

Tan Shaoyang: “…”

I'm starting to urge you. Is it that urgent?

"Grandma, I'm only 21 years old this year. Don't be in a hurry. Think about it in a few years!"

Grandma Tan was shocked. "Did the incident with the mute sister cause you psychological trauma?" "You have to find a partner now. You can't waste time. It will be troublesome if you can't find a wife."

When Tan Shaoyang heard the urging, he got a headache and found an excuse to slip away.

I made 560 yuan this time, plus the money I usually make, there are thousands of yuan. It's not safe to keep it all at home, so I just put it in the bank when I have free time.

The passbook at that time was a paper passbook, which is still widely used today.

There is more than 1 yuan in savings, plus the existing money, there are more than 2 yuan. In the future, more than yuan can be spent in the blink of an eye.

But at a time when pork costs more than one yuan per pound, it is considered a lot of money.

Tan Shaoyang was wearing mostly loose clothes, a vest and a pair of black suit pants. The weather was hot and humid, and he was too lazy to even wear a shirt. He felt a bit sloppy when he stepped into the room.

What was unexpected was that when he was depositing the money, he saw Liu Xiang. He hadn't seen her for a while, and she actually came into the bank. This job cannot be done just by having ability, but also requires connections.

I knew from the beginning that this girl was unusual, and just as expected, this was a stable job that I could hold firmly in my hands.

He couldn't afford to think about a girl like this, so he had to avoid her in the future.

When Liu Xiang saw Tan Shaoyang, she was stunned for a moment. Finally, she greeted him and promptly gave him some money for the deposit. When she saw the deposit in his passbook, her eyes widened in surprise.

She had never seen such a large amount of deposit before.

The amount was large, and it had to be counted manually, which took a long time. By the time the money was counted and deposited, it was already time to get off work.

Liu Xiang looked at Tan Shaoyang who was about to leave with his passbook and shouted, "Third brother, we finally meet, can we have a meal together?"

She had been busy during this period and hadn't seen him at all. Now that she finally met him, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to get in touch with him.

Tan Shaoyang tightened his grip around the passbook, then nodded. Since the girl had spoken, it was difficult for him to refuse. He could still afford to treat her to a meal.

There were people coming and going in the bank. Tan Shaoyang went outside to wait, and Liu Xiang came out after a while.

Tan Shaoyang was still pushing the bicycle. Liu Xiang was not afraid of the sun and followed him. With a joyful smile on her face, she asked excitedly, "Third brother, where are we going to eat?"

Tan Shaoyang said: "Let's go to the restaurant, okay?"

Liu Xiang nodded and said that as long as she could follow him, she would go anywhere.

"Third brother, how come you are so awesome and have saved so much money?" The admiration in his eyes was genuine.

Tan Shaoyang smiled, not thinking that he was very capable. "Private business is encouraged now. Anyone with the courage can make money. One or two thousand yuan is nothing."

Tan Shaoyang was not afraid of her shouting outside. For people who could work here, keeping customer secrets was the most basic requirement.

Tan Shaoyang deliberately kept a distance from her and did not go out of his way to bring up the topic. As long as the other party felt indifference, she would naturally back off.

This way, we won’t have a falling out and it won’t be too embarrassing.

The meal passed in peace and tranquility.

Liu Xiang felt uncomfortable watching him being silent. She guessed that he didn't want to have too much entanglement with her, but she just liked him, and the feeling of missing him was overwhelming.

She knew they would go their separate ways after dinner, but she was reluctant to do so and shamelessly followed him.

Tan Shaoyang was a shrewd man, so how could he not feel it? He quickly reminded him, "You should go back. Don't delay your work."

Liu Xiang looked at his burly figure, which always carried a bit of laziness about him, but that was the most fatal thing that made her unable to take her eyes off him.

"Third brother, can you date me?"

This was not the first time Liu Xiang expressed her intentions, but she never received a clear response.

Tan Shaoyang sighed and said, "Do you know what you are saying? You have a good job, and your parents will arrange a suitable match for you in the future."

"I'm just a small fisherman. I don't have a proper job, so I just mess around. Why do you keep harassing me?"

"You know your family is in such a mess. Your parents won't agree with me dating you."

Liu Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. "You just don't like me, right? Otherwise, building a house would be a piece of cake for you."

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "You are beautiful, and everyone likes you, but you don't want to get married yet. You want to do something with such a small amount of capital, but I can't give you a stable future."

"I can't force you to live a hard life. Even if you are willing, your parents may not!"

"Don't worry about me, go back quickly."

Liu Xiang saw him leaving, rushed up to him and hugged his waist tightly, with such a carefree look that she was not afraid of being seen at all.

Tan Shaoyang felt his soft body pressed against his broad back. The touch was particularly clear through a thin layer of cloth.

Tan Shaoyang shuddered and quickly pulled the person away. Then he saw her face wet with tears and a look of pity. He was reluctant to blame her.

In the end, I had no choice but to take the person to a rented house.

As soon as Tan Shaoyang stopped his bicycle, Liu Xiang held his hand tightly, unwilling to let go, for fear that he would find an excuse to run away if she let go.

Tan Shaoyang said, "Liu Xiang, be obedient and let go first."

Liu Xiang stubbornly held his arm and said firmly, "No, as soon as I let go, you'll find an excuse to slip away."

Tan Shaoyang took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want to date me? Aren't you afraid that others will say you're dating a useless man?"

"I'm not as capable as you, who can hold a stable job. Besides, business is unpredictable. You may make money today, but lose everything tomorrow."

"If you really follow me, you will be displaced. Are you willing?"

Liu Xiang nodded, "Even if I have to live a hard life, as long as I follow you, I am willing."

Tan Shaoyang took a chair and sat down, then beckoned to her. As the person walked towards him, he pulled her hand, made her sit on his lap, and then hugged her slender waist tightly.

He leaned into her small and delicate ear and whispered, "If you really want to be in a relationship, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Liu Xiang felt itchy and shrank her neck. Even though she was sitting on his lap with her whole body stiff and her face flushed, she was unwilling to leave.

She just wanted to be with him, as long as it was him. She looked at him with her sparkling eyes, her confused look making people want to bully her.

Tan Shaoyang pinched her chin and kissed her rosy little mouth. She was so youthful, bright and beautiful, and she threw all her attention on him, which was really attractive!

Tan Shaoyang did not give her a chance to escape, allowing her to deeply experience what would happen if she were in a relationship with him. If he could force the person to retreat, that would be fine, but if he couldn't, then she would be his.

Liu Xiang raised her head and acted very well-behaved. Even though she was as clean as a piece of white paper, she trusted him and did not resist at all.

Only when he could hardly hold his breath did Liu Xiang gently push him.
