Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 166 Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty

The next day, everyone who had ridden in the truck boasted about how fast the truck was and how they didn't have to endure the biting cold wind, which made the villagers envious.

Those who had never ridden it wanted to experience it for themselves, but were too shameless to do so, so they ended up waiting at the entrance of the village, hoping that Tan Shaoyang would give them a ride to town.

Tan Shaoyang did plan to go to town early in the morning. He had prepared all kinds of New Year's goods at home, but Sister Qing's goods had not been prepared yet. By the way, he also had to prepare the goods for the store.

The bicycle can be loaded with luggage, but it is freezing cold and the wind stings your face. After a trip, your nose will be running and it is very painful.

As a result, he got up late and Sister Qing had already gone to town. There was no place for him to use his skills, so he might as well not run around in town.

In addition, Grandma Tan started to prepare the fried fish. If you want to make this thing delicious, you need to use a lot of oil. She rarely prepares it on weekdays, but the oil she consumes is enough for the family for a month.

In addition, Tan Shaoyang wanted to taste the crispy fish, so he didn't want to go out and just waited by the side.

But she didn't want to go out, and she couldn't stop people from coming to her house to cause trouble.

A typical example is that disaster strikes while you are at home.

The door was violently pushed open, and the mute girl came in and started gesticulating. She looked a little disheveled, with many scratches on her face, which were obviously the marks left by a fight.

Tan Shaoyang frowned. His attitude towards the mute girl was to avoid contact with her if possible. When this person goes crazy, she can cause chaos in the whole house.

It's finally over now, it would be best if we can avoid being involved.

It would be fine if you just locked yourself up with Gao Fu, why did you come out and bully others?
He didn't want to know what the other party meant, but after many years of contact in his previous life, he still understood it.

He is thinking about getting on his truck and wanting to ride in it for free!

Tan Shaoyang didn't want to pay attention to her. He was not here to save all living beings and could not be summoned or dismissed at will.

Even if he could carry everyone, he wouldn't be willing to carry her.

He still remembers how frustrated he felt in his previous life!
"What on earth do you want to say? You're chattering away and it's not clear what you're saying. You should talk to someone who can see clearly. It's cold, so hurry up and carry the child back home!"

The mute girl kept gesturing, but Tan Shaoyang simply ignored her. As a result, she picked up the basin and dropped it, making a loud noise that also scared the children.

Tan Shaoyang's temper suddenly flared up. With a stern and ferocious face, he grabbed the other person's arm and pushed him out of the door in a few seconds.

"This is your house, you can act like a spoiled brat however you want. Get out of here, and take care of your face. Do you have the right to act like a spoiled brat?"

"You're slamming my porcelain basins and making loud noises. You must be spoiled."

"I want to fall back to your home. Where were your parents at that time? You have to bear all the sins you committed."

The loud noise scared the baby and made him cry.

The mute girl is carefree and doesn't pay any attention to anything.

Tan Shaoyang didn't bother to care. It was the child's sin to have such parents.

In his previous life, his mute sister was so noisy that he never had a child. It should be said that even if he had one, she would have made him throw away the child. So he never experienced the feeling of being a father.

At this moment, he didn't feel much sympathy. He just wanted the other party to get out of here as soon as possible so as to stop bothering him.

As a result, after the mute girl was dragged out, she slapped her thigh and sat on the floor crying loudly, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

When Tan Shaoyang saw his uncouth side, he simply turned a blind eye and closed the door. He didn't care about the ghosts howling and the wolves howling, it had nothing to do with him.

As a result, the stupid trouble really happened.

Just because he doesn't bother with people doesn't mean trouble won't come to him.

Gao Fu, that rude guy, insisted that Tan Shaoyang bullied his wife and children. He banged on the door and cursed at him, which made Tan Shaoyang even more angry.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he pulled up his sleeves and told Grandma Tan, "Grandma, watch them, don't let them go out."

It's the New Year and this unlucky thing has happened. No one would feel comfortable. If Tan Shaoyang doesn't say anything, wouldn't it be tacitly admitting to bullying the other party? How can this be acceptable?

He doesn't want to be splashed with dirty water.

The moment I opened the door, I saw Gao Fu glaring with his eyes, looking very ferocious. If you didn't know, you would think he was an enemy coming to cause trouble!

Tan Shaoyang was not intimidated at all. He put on an even more ferocious look, raised his chin slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Why, you want to fight?"

"Your wife came up here early in the morning and made a lot of noise. Not only did she make a lot of gestures, she also smashed my porcelain basin and made a ping-pong noise."

"I just kicked her out and didn't bother to argue with her, but now you've gone even further and come to my house to cause trouble. I think you're so easy to bully, but there's no one left in my Tan family?"

Gao Fu was confused. Seeing his wife sitting on the ground crying with the child on her back, he thought she was being bullied!
As a result, she was the one who went to the Tan family and made a lot of trouble.

He was indeed holding a grudge against Tan Shaoyang. Perhaps he was displeased with anyone who could make money, so he came to his house to seek justice under the pretext that his wife was bullied.

Who knew that he was the unreasonable one, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.

It's so embarrassing to run back in shame.

But he didn't dare to cause trouble!
Although Tan Shaoyang looks casual, he is actually quite capable! He has good interpersonal relationships, and if a fight breaks out, a large group of people will come to help him, and he won't be able to gain any advantage.

Tan Shaoyang saw that the other party was guilty, and his tone became tougher, "I stayed at home quietly, but your wife is sick, coming here to cause trouble."

"I look so easy to bully, can anyone of you come and trample on me?"

At this time, the villagers also came over and explained to him, "Don't be angry, Lao San, I guess it was the mute girl who heard that she could go out in your truck, so she ran to your house."

After hearing this, Tan Shaoyang became even more unhappy, "Is this the attitude you take when you want to take a ride? I wonder if you would think I am provoking an enemy!"

As he said this, he took out the basin from inside and placed it in front of them. They looked at each other and saw a hole in it.

"See how brutal this is?"

"I paid for the gas and let you guys ride with good intentions, but in the end, I ended up being the one being wronged."

"She came to my house and started throwing things around, scaring the kids. Is my house a place where she can act so unruly? Anyone can bully her if they want."

"You can take a truck if you want to in the future. It's 50 cents per person, so I don't have to give you a free ride and cause trouble."

"I borrowed the car to take care of my family. It's freezing cold, and I hope they won't be bitten by the cold wind. I made two trips yesterday and took as many people as I could."

"As a result, he came here to cause trouble today. If I don't give him a ride, will I be a sinner?"

"Anyone who wants to take the bus can come. It's 5 cents per person. Gasoline costs money too. I can't keep helping Baidi!"

"I'm so happy one moment, and I'm called stupid the next. I don't want to hear such words. It's the New Year, and I don't want to feel bad for myself."

When I asked about the bus fare, it was still fifty cents.

Tan Shaoyang even took out the broken basin, as if to ask for compensation. The mute girl felt guilty for a moment, wiped her tears, jumped up from the ground, and ran away quickly. Tan Shaoyang was not going to indulge her. The mute girl ran away, but Gao Fu was still there. They were all in the same bed, so compensation was normal.

"Your wife ran away, you have to give me justice. I broke a hole in this iron basin, what should I do with it?"

"You're not going to let it go in front of everyone, are you? You were very cruel when you knocked on my door just now."

"If you don't want to pay, I'll go to your house and beat you up, and the matter will be over."

Tan Shaoyang will not back down easily. If he gives in today, he will embolden his enemies tomorrow. This way, anyone can come to his house and cause trouble without having to take any responsibility.

He just has to show his attitude and let people know that he is not someone who can be bullied.

Although we are all villagers and see each other every day, our relationship is unclear and cannot be forced.

There are many kinds of people, and there are all kinds of personalities. There is no reason for him to accommodate others.

Gao Fu: “…” Everyone was staring at him, but Gao Fu didn’t have the nerve to make peace. He just threw down a dollar and ran away. He thought there was nothing he could gain by staying, so why bother staying any longer.

Tan Shaoyang snorted, took the money thrown on him, and handed it to Zhaodi beside him, "Take this money and give it to your mother later as compensation for breaking your iron basin."

He looked back at the villagers who were watching the fun, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go away, right? It took a lot of gas to make that trip yesterday, and it cost me several dollars!"

"My old lady has difficulty walking and said she had never seen the buildings built in the town. I borrowed the car so that she could go to the town once, but she won't go there anymore."

"If you have nothing to do, don't hang out here. There's nothing exciting to see."

The mute girl wants to take a ride, just think about it!
How could he be so kind as to let her have her wish?

The uncles in the village laughed and teased him, "Tan Laosan, only you have this ability. Gao Fu is a stingy person! It's great to be able to get money from him!"

"Even though it was only one dollar, it made him lose face."

He is usually very stingy, even when getting married, he didn't pay the bride price. He even asked the mute sister to get money from the mute sister's father, and she was cheated by her old friend for nothing.

Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Don't mention it. We are all from the same village. I didn't intend to make a fuss about the other party being a mute. It was the ferocious Gao Fu who banged on the door that I couldn't hold back."

"It's like I'm bullying others. I can't let myself be falsely accused. If I don't defend myself, I'll be splashed with dirty water."

"It's over, it's time to prepare for the New Year. Let's play cards."

When it comes to playing cards, the uncles and aunts in the village would instigate, "Come and play a couple of rounds! We are all short of money and want to earn some money from you!"

Everyone can see that Tan Shaoyang can make money. How can we not be happy to be able to make money from him!

Tan Shaoyang saw through their purpose at a glance, and he had no choice but to contact the villagers, so he simply agreed, "Let's talk first and then there will be no more trouble. I can play cards with you, but you can't get angry if you lose."

"Luck is unpredictable. What if I win?"

When it comes to playing cards, as long as you remember them, winning is a matter of minutes.

That is to say, you can guess what cards the other party has in his hand.

Although I haven't played it much, I can easily master it if I understand it.

Tan Shaoyang has nothing else but an exceptionally good memory, otherwise the things that happened in his previous life would not be remembered so clearly.

It's like a reward from God, the memory is particularly clear.

So after sitting at the card table and playing two rounds, I became very proficient and could always easily know the opponent's cards. In the end, I suppressed myself and the chips in front of me piled higher and higher with ease.

The uncles and aunts who were playing cards with him suddenly woke up when they saw the money in front of him. This was not playing cards, this was giving money to Tan Shaoyang!
If you continue playing, you will lose all your money.

Unable to continue the fight, they all called for a stop.

"Tan Laosan, do you know exactly what cards we have? Why don't you stop playing and leave us some money?"

Tan Shaoyang touched his neck, turned his sore neck, and did not insist, "Luckily, I got a good hand. Here is a pack of cigarettes. Let the uncles satisfy their cravings."

Tan Shaoyang prepared this specially for him. He didn't need this little money. He would be unhappy if he really took it away. But it would be different if he kept a pack of cigarettes. Men like this.

Just let them have fun, this way they won't get humiliated and the problem can be solved easily.

Tan Shaoyang got away easily. No one would easily invite him in the future, and naturally there would be no news of him being a dissociable person.

As soon as I got home, Grandma Tan stuffed a bowl in my mouth and said, "This is specially made spicy, eat it!"

"Were you dragged to play cards? Don't let playing cards ruin your life! Those people get addicted once they start playing, and no matter how much money they make, it won't be enough to cover their losses."

Tan Shaoyang comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry! They won't come to grab me in the future."

"The cards they play are easy to remember and can win easily. If I win too much, my uncles will not be happy to hold me."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up two pieces of chewy crispy fish. They were spicy and refreshing, and very enjoyable to eat. If they were paired with some sesame seeds, the color would be even better.

"Grandma, sprinkle some sesame seeds next time. Your craft is amazing. Please pass it on to me. I will open a factory to make it and sell this crispy fish all over the country."

Grandma Tan was shocked, but the topic was also changed. "Is it really that hard?"

“This factory can’t just be opened as it pleases!”

"You have a fishing boat, so how can you be so busy? Don't exhaust yourself."

Tan Shaoyang said, "It's just a plan, but we don't know when it will be implemented!"

"Just take it one step at a time!"

The cargo carried by those two ships was too little. Once he had enough funds, he planned to change ships!
Of course, you have to eat your meal bite by bite and don't be in a hurry.

Grandma Tan nodded and said, "You just asked Gao Fu for compensation. Will that make him unhappy? We are all from a small fishing village. I am worried that he will bear a grudge against us!"

"Let's leave some room for maneuver and not be so extreme."

Tan Shaoyang sighed, "Grandma, as long as I can make money, there will always be people who look down on me. If that's the case, why worry so much?"

"If we still indulge them when they have climbed up to our heads and are acting wild, wouldn't that be aiding and abetting the evil?"

"We don't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of it either! Otherwise, someone will come to our rescue and act wildly. Confidence comes from ourselves. Only when you have the ability can others admire you!"

"As long as you feel comfortable, why bother about whether others feel aggrieved or not!"

"It doesn't matter even if you hold a grudge against me. I'll just deal with it as it happens. I know my limits in this matter, so you don't have to worry."
