Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 163 still has to stand the test!
Tan Shaoyang's premonition turned out to be correct. Without the protection of her father, the mute girl had a hard life.

The cruelty hidden in Gao Fu's bones could not be concealed, and the mute girl was beaten just after her confinement.

It was normal for her to be beaten, even during her pregnancy. The only reason was that Gao Fu wanted a son, so he didn't beat her to death.

But even so, the mute girl still couldn't feel comfortable.

It's because of poverty. He has no money and no way to make money. Once he gets upset, his temper becomes very angry.

In the past, the mute girl could bring some money back home, but now the mute girl’s father has to raise his son and can’t see a penny. Gao Fu’s wishful thinking has been shattered, so isn’t he furious?

As for the mute girl being beaten again, it was all because she gave birth to a daughter. Men want sons to carry on the family line, but girls are a waste of money and things go wrong for them, so naturally she was beaten black and blue.

哑妹挨揍怕了，躲出去，谁知道外面议论的都是父亲娶外面骚婆娘的事情，而且赚到的钱全部都一股脑砸在刚养育的儿子身上了。

The more the mute girl thought about it, the angrier she became. They were obviously of marriageable age, but he chose to go out and have a baby.

The anger made her vent all the frustration that had been pent up in her heart. Whenever she caught someone talking about something, she would go up to them and start tearing them apart, either by pulling their ears or scratching their hair.

His eyes were bulging and his face was cold, making him look scary.

The women were all doing heavy work and were strong enough, so they immediately started to argue with her, saying, "This is obviously the truth, and we are not allowing people to discuss it!"

"Look at your mother. She has to keep her head down and behave herself. Otherwise, there will be no place for her to stay."

"If you don't want people to talk about you, then don't do these crap! If you hadn't just given birth, I would have beaten you."

"You think you can do whatever you want just because you're dumb. You're not your father or mother, so who's indulging you?"

Naturally, this farce could not be hidden from the Tan family who all lived in the village. When Tan Shaoyang found out about it, he did not show much emotion.

The mute girl is a very noisy person. Even though she was beaten, it was only temporary. Once she goes crazy, she will cause chaos in the whole family.

I don’t know how ruthless Gao Fu is, and whether he can crush her completely.

Tan Shaoyang was in a good mood. He could watch the fun while lying at home. Naturally, his mood was incomparable.

Although this idea was quite shameless, he still felt it was satisfying that the mute girl who had caused him so much trouble in his previous life could be punished in this way.

Every evildoer will receive his due punishment. These two are simply a perfect match made in heaven. One is noisy and the other is rude. It is best to tie them up tightly.

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to meddle in such trivial matters and continued to lie on the recliner next to the fire. In the blink of an eye, the New Year would be here again and he could take advantage of his free time to take a break.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since I was reborn. At the beginning, I was still a bad guy who was despised and even dared to fool the matchmaker.

Two years have allowed him to grow.

I bought a few shops in the county town and also bought land in the town. I will be able to build a house next year.

The small fishing village also added two fishing boats. Although they were just ordinary fishing boats, they made a lot of money in those two or three months.

The target has also been decided.

Everything is going well for him and he will have a bright future. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

After summarizing, the existing gains have a clearer understanding.

Making money while living a leisurely life, and walking out of the ordinary days step by step, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Life lies in movement. People can't avoid moving more when they are alive. Don't be afraid to squander your energy when you have plenty of strength. After all, you will be full of energy after a good sleep. What's the loss?

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Mrs. Tan came back despite the cold, and the youngest son was accompanied by his father Tan. They couldn't just take care of the youngest and ignore the whole family!

Tan Shaoyang turned around when he heard the noise, looked at his mother who came back with a lot of bags and said with a smile, "Mom, why are you back?"

Mother Tan sighed and said, "You just lie there like this, with no one to take care of things. How are you going to celebrate the New Year if I don't come back? Are you going to have nothing to eat?"

"Just let your dad stay with Shaojie over there. I'll go over there when the spring comes to plant rice."

"You are always busy, and you just have to get by with three meals a day. You always miss me when I am not home, and I feel uneasy if I don't take a look in person."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, not really caring, "I'm an adult now, I can take care of myself, I'm not usually hungry, grandma always has a share when she cooks."

"I'm lying down now, so I'm not in a hurry to stock up. In two days, I'll borrow a truck and take my whole family out to stock up."

"How many things can I buy? I can prepare them in half a day."

Tan's mother raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't lie here, you're engaged, you can't show your affection during the New Year or other festivals!"

"I asked your grandma to help raise chickens. Take two to Liu's house and buy a few pounds of meat. If your future father-in-law likes to drink, take two bottles of wine."

"People have already let their daughter date you, you can't be stingy, otherwise others will not only say it, but you will definitely feel unhappy in your heart."

"Too much gift will not be blamed, too little gift will be blamed. Her daughter is so promising, you must seize the opportunity and don't let the fat sheep run away."

"I can't even imagine that you can marry a college student who works in a bank. Don't be careless and let people complain about you. If your wife runs away, I wonder where you will cry."

Tan Shaoyang sighed and stood up. He couldn't lie down anymore. As soon as Tan's mother came back, she started to grumble. She was not used to this place and did not like that place. She must do a thorough cleaning. It was better to run away!
"Okay, I'll keep it in mind."

Tan Shaoyang looked a little depressed. How could he be criticized for his etiquette? He was not such an unstable person.

However, in the mother's mind, no matter how old the child is, she will nag him, and he was too lazy to argue, so as to avoid getting calluses on his ears from listening to her.

I went to my uncle's house and caught two chickens.

The chickens raised by his grandmother are so fat that even their claws are plump. If they are stewed in a pot, the chicken claws are particularly chewy.

After catching them, I tied them up at my feet and headed to the vegetable garden. I looked at the busy figures and shouted, "Grandma, I'm going to catch two chickens and take them to my girlfriend's house!"

When Grandma Tan heard the sound, she turned around, her face wrinkled with smile. She washed her hands with the water in the bucket, and then said, "I'll catch two more for you." Then she walked towards him swiftly.

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand to refuse, "Two are enough, our family has to eat too!"

"Besides, I have to prepare other things. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid the old lady will see that the chickens are missing and think someone has taken them away."

"I'll be back tomorrow with the truck and take you to town to buy New Year's goods. When you're free, go tell them and don't waste time."

Tan Shaoyang left after giving some instructions, but he didn't know that the old lady was a person who loved to show off. She wanted to show off how good her grandson was to her whenever she saw him.

In half a day, all the neighbors in this corner knew that Tan Shaoyang would drive a truck to take them to the town to buy New Year's goods tomorrow, which made people envious.

Grandma Tan received admiring looks from her old friend, but also brought trouble. Her old friend had never ridden in a truck and wanted to go along as well.

Grandma Tan looked at their expectant eyes and couldn't refuse. After all, she had never sat on one before, so it was normal for her to be curious. She could only look at them with flickering eyes and finally gave it to her third child.

Her grandson is good at talking, has many ideas, and knows how to deal with things. It's okay to leave it to him for safekeeping. At this time, Tan Shaoyang was standing in front of the meat stall, asking someone to cut some fat and lean pork belly for him. As a result, the tip of his nose felt itchy and he sneezed twice.

He was still wondering in his heart, who was thinking about him?
He had no idea that the old lady who trusted him so much had brought him into trouble.

After purchasing the things, I will go to Liu Xiang's house.

Liu's mother is a nurse. Even during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, they have to take turns to rest. It is impossible for patients to choose the time to get sick, so there must be someone in the health center.

So at this moment, there were only Liu Xiang and her father at home.

Father Liu had finally gotten some rest. It was freezing cold and he just wanted to stay at home. When he saw Tan Shaoyang coming, he immediately started to prepare something to eat.

"Old Third, are you free today? Come have a couple of drinks with me?"

How could I refuse my father-in-law's request? I just drank it, stewed half a chicken, fried a plate of peanuts, and had a portion of fried fish with soybean shoots.

There are enough snacks.

As soon as the food was placed on the table, Zhang Yishui brought Chen Tingting over. Since they were engaged, it was normal for them to have contact with each other.

He brought Chen Tingting home for a walk today, letting people see his beautiful girlfriend. When he heard that Tan Shaoyang had gone to Liu's house, he came over with his girlfriend and some wine.

"It's better to come at the right time than to come early. The food has just been served. I'm in for a treat."

Tan Shaoyang said with disdain, "You have a very sharp nose. I just arrived and you followed me right after."

Zhang Yishui sat next to him with a smile, not caring about being teased, "I heard you bought some land, where did you buy it? Let's be neighbors!"

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to pay attention to him, so he changed his position and said, "I don't want to be your neighbor. You are so lazy that you will come to my house every day and sit and wait for food."

The smile on Zhang Yishui's face froze for a moment, and then he said shamelessly, "Don't be like this, we have a good relationship, who is with whom?"

"At most I can bring food with me and not take advantage of you!"

Tan Shaoyang gave him a cold look. This man couldn't move his legs when he saw food. It was even a question whether he could remember it.

Zhang Yishui was not discouraged and continued to chat with people with a smile on his face. With his eloquent tongue, he finally found out the place.

"Old Three, how much did the land cost?"

Tan Shaoyang said: "8."

Zhang Yishui took a deep breath, "It's so expensive!"

Tan Shaoyang shrugged. "It looks expensive now, but you'll know it's cheap in a few years."

"House prices will gradually double in the future. If they are 2 now, you won't be able to afford one without in a year or two."

"If you have enough money, you can buy one."

Zhang Yishui was tempted. "Let's buy it. It's worth it even if it's expensive to be your neighbor. Lend me 2,000 yuan, and I'll pay you back next year when I make money."

Tan Shaoyang looked at his serious expression and asked, "Really? Then you will have to work like a slave for me."

Zhang Yishui didn't care, "I'm happy to work like a cow or a horse for you. I can make money by following you."

Tan Shaoyang nodded and said, "Go talk to them first, and when the deal is done, come to me for the money."

Two grown men settled the matter easily.

2000 yuan is not like money, you can just borrow it whenever you want.

Father Liu couldn't help but take a few more glances at them, considering the truthfulness of their words. After all, it was rare to see someone so generous.

"Aren't you two being a little casual in borrowing money?"

Zhang Yishui said with a smile, "Don't worry, uncle. Your future son-in-law is rich! One or two thousand dollars won't hurt anything."

"I take his money this year, but next year I will have to work like a slave for him. I am the one who has to work the hardest!"

Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to listen to his flattery, "I regret it now. The financial power of my family is decided by my Liu Xiang. If you are unreliable, I may not be able to lend you the money."

For a moment, Zhang Yishui ran to Liu Xiang again to show his courtesy, calling her "cousin" in a very sweet voice, as if he wanted to praise her to the sky.

This look made everyone on the field laugh.

After dinner, Zhang Yishui craved for wine again.

Tan Shaoyang said, "Just drink until you fall down and see if there's anyone to help take care of your partner. You won't be in an unfamiliar place, and your partner might think you're unreliable, so whether he or she is willing to be with you or not is all a matter of fact!"

Zhang Yishui was upset, but he was also very greedy, so he finally poured a glass and said, "I won't drink too much, just taste it, that's all!"

In the end, lunch dragged on and ended only when Liu's mother came back. Looking at those people gathered together and making a fuss, she didn't know what to say.

Especially when Liu's father was drunk and his eyes were blurry, he always said he wanted to drink a few cups with Tan Lao San, but in the end he couldn't drink as much as him.

On the other hand, Tan Shaoyang was still very rational, his eyes were clear and he didn't look drunk at all.

"Your uncle is unreliable. He just drags you to drink. Has he not delayed your work?"

Tan Shaoyang shook his head, "I'm free at the end of the year! I just happened to want to have a drink with my uncle, but I made a bit of a mess at home."

Liu's mother waved her hand indifferently, which was a typical example of a mother-in-law becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.

"Leave these there, we'll deal with them."

"What are your plans for your relationship with Liu Xiang? To be honest, Liu Xiang is still young, so I plan to keep her for two more years!"

"But you are in a hurry to buy a house. I am so confused about this matter. I don't know what to do."

Tan Shaoyang said, "Listen to auntie, Liu Xiang is 20 years old, so it's okay for her to stay for two more years. She originally planned to get married at the end of the year, so she should build the new house first."

"If you want Xiangxiang to accompany you more, don't rush to build a house for now. I'll use the remaining money to work on it. It will be more solid and can give Liuxiang a better future."

"I'm still young, and if there are things I can't do right, I need my uncle and aunt to check on me."

When Liu's mother heard this, she knew he had a plan in mind, and she was no longer worried. "It's good for young people to be bold and daring. It won't be a big deal to wait a year or two to get married."

"You are a steady person, and I feel relieved to let Xiangxiang stay with you."

Liu's mother still wanted to test him. After all, she was the daughter she had raised with great care. If Tan Shaoyang remained so calm in a year or two, there would be no need to worry.
