Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 137 It’s your own fault, you deserve the beating!

Zhang Yishui's words were not polite at all, "You'd better go back and stay here honestly!"

"The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it. Whatever you have done will eventually be exposed."

"No matter how well you cover it up, those women don't know your background and can't explain it. There are also people who know you very well."

"Don't think you can be safe and sound just like that. There are people who know you very well. If you don't understand, go and find out who else has been arrested."

"You should know exactly who you tricked. You should know who it is without me telling you."

"Not everyone will protect you. Even though the police can't catch you, don't try to hide your actions from others. If the news gets out, it will be enough to disgust the villagers."

"For someone like you who only attacks his own people, you deserve to be caught. The sins you have committed are too serious, and one day you will suffer the consequences."

"If you hadn't been caught red-handed, I would have reported you! It would be no pity to eliminate a scourge like you."

After Zhang Yishui finished speaking, he pushed him away and walked away, looking very arrogant. He didn't take him seriously at all. He thought that no matter how much he jumped around, he couldn't make any money. He just wanted to mess around and was not afraid of anything.

When Lao Tie found out about this, he was so scared that his heart was pounding, and he went straight to Xu's house. Uncle Xu was a pervert, and he didn't need any persuasion at all, he just followed him there happily.

A lot of time has passed, so it's normal to be caught.

The only thing is that it would be very troublesome if he was caught, as it would only take a few minutes for him to give himself away, and he is not someone who can keep his mouth shut.

Lao Tie was extremely nervous, and looked over secretly, but saw nothing for a long time. Instead, he was seen by Aunt Xu, who looked at him with resentment in her eyes and hit him with a big broom.

"How could you be so heartless that you tricked my man into sleeping with a slutty woman? Now that she's been arrested, how are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?"

"It's fine if you just harm others, but why don't you even let go of the people in your own village? People like you shouldn't stay in the village. You deserve to be kicked out."

"Life is already difficult, and I am being persecuted by you. You will not have a good death."

Aunt Xu has always had a gentle personality, but this incident caught her off guard. Without a man to support her, she became tough and beat people without mercy.

A woman who can earn money to support her family is not weak. If she were really weak, she would not be able to earn money to support the family.

I've been holding a grudge, and now that I can vent it, I won't hesitate anymore.

As long as they are willing to be ruthless and beat someone until his whole body is in pain, their beating will be more ferocious than that of Grandma Xu. After all, the young and strong must have more strength.

Lao Tie was beaten so badly that he ran around in all directions. The pain made him want to escape immediately. He and the Xu family were really at odds with each other. Every time he came here, he would be beaten. If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have come!

"If you have something to say, let's talk it out. It's your man who can't control his belt. It's none of my business!"

"You don't have the ability to control a man, and you blame others for it. You should look for your own fault first!"

"If he was really an honest man, it would be impossible to trick him out. It's obvious that he has evil intentions."

The more Aunt Xu listened, the angrier she became. She added fuel to the fire and beat him even harder.

A kind face, but now it was also fierce, "I will let you gloat over my misfortune, and I will never let you go until I tell everyone about your evil deeds."

"Everyone, come and have a look! Lao Tie is a completely heartless person. He gathered a bunch of slutty women outside and asked them to coax my man over. Not only did he alienate me, but he was also arrested now."

"People like him really don't have any conscience in order to make money. Don't let him be with your men in the future, otherwise he will coax your men into doing bad things."

"My man was taken away by the police. Whether he can come back or not is another matter!"

After Aunt Xu's wailing, the women in the village came to join in the fun. Knowing the whole story, they looked at Lao Tie with extra vigilance.

In a good family, who would want a man to go out and make trouble?
"My friend, you are too tactless. You want to make money, but how can you harm the villagers?"

"That's right. A family depends on men. Even if they are incompetent, there has to be someone there to help and give advice if something goes wrong. It's always better than a woman being the only one in charge of the family!"

"Aunt Xu is such a kind person, but she got so angry that she became like this. You deserve to be beaten!"

"Everyone has to keep an eye on him from now on. Don't let him be with his own man. If he is caught by the police, it will be very difficult for him to come back."

"He is so heartless in his pursuit of money. We should stay away from him from now on!"

Lao Tie was stunned. He didn't expect these women to be so united in their hatred of the enemy. They stared at him with angry eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up!

"No, listen to my explanation. It takes two to tango. I can't be considered to have instigated this. It was Uncle Xu who lost control of himself."

"His eyes are so fixed that he can't even walk when he sees a woman. How can he blame me for giving money to others?"

"I didn't tie his hands and feet. I didn't tie him up. In the end, he just ran out to have fun because he had no fun in the village."

Seeing that he was still trying to deny it, Aunt Xu picked up a broom and beat him, "If you hadn't instigated him, he wouldn't have left the fishing village. If he hadn't left, he wouldn't have been caught. It's all your fault."

"Now that you've made money, you'll definitely deny it to the end. As a woman, I can't do anything to you. I'll just wait for you to get your comeuppance."

"God is watching what you do. Don't expect a good ending."

The women also echoed in the conversation, one after another, leaving Lao Tie no room for rebuttal. In the end, he could only walk away in shame like a rat crossing the street.

This matter spread throughout the village. Lao Tie cheated people for money at first, and then instigated people to go out. He was seduced by the slutty woman and was even arrested by the police.

This incident has had a strong impact on people. The men in the family have been repeatedly ordered not to hang out with their old friend.

I’m afraid of being fooled out, making a mistake and being caught by the police.

The men were totally confused, and were speechless after figuring out what was going on. The old man really dared to do anything, and the women actually listened to him.

Those who have never been caught might dare to give it a try, but with Uncle Xu's example in front of them, no one dares to have such wild thoughts.

It's not like you don't have a wife at home. They all look the same when you turn off the lights. Why spend money to find one outside?
If something unexpected happens and we can’t come back, that would be really frustrating!
Lao Tie endured a lot of complaints and was very angry.

Uncle Xu did it willingly, it’s none of his business!
You feel happy yourself, but in the end you blame him. How can this be justified? If a cow doesn't want to eat grass, you can't force it to eat grass. If he wants to go there, he should bear the consequences himself!

Why aren't you afraid when you sleep?
It's normal to take risks in this kind of thing.

He was making money smoothly, but everything went to waste. He was very angry!
I have no place to vent my emotions and yet I am still being blamed by others. It makes me feel annoyed just thinking about it.

Feeling aggrieved, he blamed Tan Shaoyang even more, for he was certain that this matter had something to do with him, and he would not let it go unless his business was disrupted.

Lao Tie rode his bicycle to look for goods, but it was impossible for every village to be monopolized by Tan Lao San. No matter how fast he went, there would always be some fish that slipped through the net.

After running around like this, he finally saw a remote village growing betel nuts. After agreeing on the price, he bought all of them at once. If he didn't want Tan Shaoyang to make money, he would just buy all the betel nuts. As long as there were no betel nuts, it would be wishful thinking for him to make money.

Since his business has been disrupted, he can't even think about making any money. He will feel comfortable only when no one makes any money!

Lao Tie was making quite a noise, carrying betel nuts home on his bicycle. When he passed by Tan Shaoyang, he raised his chin, and his look was very provocative.

"Tan Laosan, you shouldn't have any objection to doing the same business, right?"

"Everyone makes money based on their own abilities. This shouldn't be a hindrance to you. Don't accuse me of stealing your business!"

Lao Tie just wanted to provoke him, and it would be best if he could be very angry. The more angry he was, the happier he would be.

Tan Shaoyang glanced at the raw betel nuts in the bamboo basket. These still needed to be boiled and dried. Whether he was diligent enough was another matter. If anyone wanted to challenge him, he didn't even see if he had the ability to do so.

With a sly smile on his face, he replied lazily, "As you please, the road is wide open, we can go our separate ways."

"You can do whatever you want, can I stop you?"

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. The more he paid attention to him, the more proud he became. When he hit a wall and didn't know what to do next, he would regret his impulsiveness today.

He was willing to run away and finally found betel nut. I thought I had covered all the villages that grew betel nut, but who knew there were still some that slipped through my net.

But it doesn't matter. He has a large area under his control and has even signed an agreement, so there is no need to worry about him interfering.

Seeing that he was still calm and composed, with no emotion at all, Lao Tie became even more angry.

"That's good. Doing business really depends on one's own ability."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, and his friend could only ride away angrily.

After everyone left, Tan Shaoyang went to the town.

By this time, we should be able to transport a truckload.

This thing cannot be supplied continuously. There is no place to store it. No preservatives are added to it, so it cannot be stored for a long time. I don’t know if he will still be addicted to betel nut if he stops eating for half a year.

If you get rid of this addiction and fail to sell the products, all the money invested will be wasted.

Zhang Yishui's aunts are very hardworking and efficient. They are not the kind of people who are lazy or slacking off. After they go there, everything is packaged.

Tan Shaoyang specially bought wooden frames for storage to facilitate transportation. Now all the baskets are loaded and can be directly loaded into the car and left.

Since we are purchasing goods from several villages, we cannot rest during this period. Being busy means making money, and my two aunts are eager to be busy for a while longer!

Tan Shaoyang inspected the goods and nodded with satisfaction. There was nothing wrong with the goods. It all depended on whether the market could accept them again.

He was still quite nervous when he went to the karaoke hall, until the boss saw his enthusiasm and finally he felt relieved.

The boss was also very generous. He unloaded half of the truck's goods and took the rest to other karaoke halls, but there was not enough to go around.

It was only after he repeatedly assured them that he would be able to restock the goods in a few days that the bosses let him go.

Tan Shaoyang was full of confidence in this trip. Betel nut is a niche food that only young people would try. It is difficult to sell it in other places and it can only be popular in this kind of entertainment venues.

Although the quantity that can be sold is not large, he is willing to do it as long as he can make money. No matter how much, as long as he can make a profit.

After this trip, I drove to the county town.

A truck has to travel to several places, which is a bit inconvenient to use, but I endure it for the sake of making money.

I rode my bike back to town, pedaling all the way. The tires rolled over the road, raising dust. I was so exhausted that my body was soaked, and I looked very disheveled.

I just finished a batch of work and asked my two aunts to go home and rest for a day, so at this moment, no one is quiet in the rented house.

There were a lot of betel nuts stored in the rented house, and he couldn't help but keep an eye on them. When his two aunts were not around, he had to look after them.

Make sure there is someone there at all times.

I had just finished taking a shower and was feeling refreshed when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Yishui and his sister, followed by the shy Liu Xiang.

Tan Shaoyang paused while wiping his hair with a towel, then moved forward to let them in.

"Why are you here?"

Zhang Yishui said, "When we were transporting betel nuts today, my aunt told them to let them rest for a day. I guessed that you would have to keep watch at night, so I came here."

"I brought some good food with me. I even went out to sea for this little bit of food! We must have a good drink tonight."

Only after someone came in did Tan Shaoyang lock the door.

"If you want to drink, why don't you go find Xu Qiang? Isn't that guy the one who cooperates with you the most? Are you afraid that you won't find an opponent?"

Zhang Yishui waved his hand and said, "The two brothers are building a house for others. I want to have a drink with them, but they have to be at home!"

"They have to go make money, I can't hold them back!"

"We can be lazy, but we can't drag others into being lazy, or we'll be blamed."

"The skills you taught me will be enough to make a living in the future."

"The two brothers are still looking for a partner. Xu Qiang hasn't figured it out and has been avoiding her, but Xu Hai has decided on one."

"I estimate that if I work for a year or two, I can earn enough money to build my own house."

Tan Shaoyang nodded. Normally, the two of them had no one to motivate them, and now that they had found a way to make money, they would become more diligent.

"It's good. Life is lived step by step. I will be more diligent after I get married."

Zhang Yishui glanced at him slyly and asked, "What about you? When are you going to find a partner? Don't tell me you don't have money. You are the best at studying."

"When it comes to making money, none of us can compare to you. It should only take you a few minutes to find a wife!"

Tan Shaoyang said, "You should pay more attention to yourself. How can I not care about my own wife?"

"The time has not come yet!" As he said this, Tan Shaoyang glanced at Liu Xiang, who blushed.
