Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 47 Things are changing!

Tan Shaoyang returned to the town and planned to buy some food. He made a lot of money on this trip, but unexpectedly he saw a very exciting scene.

In the past, when the dumb girl's father came to sell goods, the fishmongers would hold him in their arms. But now, we see the dumb girl's father begging the vendors. This is like the liberated serfs singing their song!
From this we can guess that the relative behind him was pulled down. Without someone to support him, he naturally cannot be so arrogant.

Tan Shaoyang rode forward and said, "The market is not good. Why are you still hoarding so many goods?"

The mute girl’s father almost choked when he heard his voice. How could he be seen by him?
I wonder how proud this person is!
Those who wanted to suppress Tan Shaoyang did not know that his relative was being targeted. Not only did they not have the capital to suppress him, they would also be ridiculed.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tan Shaoyang was watching closely. The mute girl's father couldn't lower himself to beg for help, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and go. Your grandma is looking for someone every now and then. I'm afraid she's going crazy with worry."

"The sun is so bright, but I'm still waiting for you at the entrance of the village!"

Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, thinking that if he didn't get any news back home, his grandmother would be really worried!
There are many opportunities to ridicule the mute sister's father, so let him go this time.

"Then you keep busy. I'll buy some delicious food and go back to comfort the old man."

The mute girl's father breathed a sigh of relief after watching the people leave, and continued to beg them, but in the end the price was cut so low that there was almost no profit margin.

But what can be done?

I have no choice but to sell it. If I keep it, I’ll lose more if it dies.

Not only did we not make any money on this trip, but some fish died and we ended up losing money.

Tan Shaoyang was about to leave when he was spotted by Uncle Shi, who waved at him, "Xiao Tan! Come here, I have something to tell you."

"We are the doorman of the supply and marketing cooperative. A few days ago, the dumb sister's father threatened us, and now he has been pulled down by others. The dumb sister's father has to shrink his neck and live a man. There is no room for him to show off anymore."

"If you receive any valuable fish in the future, just bring it to me. I will buy it for you. Don't worry, I will give you a very fair price."

Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, smiled and nodded. Surprises really came one after another!

"That's great! People really need to be low-key. It's not good to be too high-profile. Who knows that one day you will become a thorn in someone's side!"

He never said from the beginning to the end that he had tampered with the matter. If it weren't for the information he collected, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

Tan Shaoyang bought two kilograms of lard and went home with it. He didn't dare to buy more, otherwise he would be nagged again.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Grandma Tan's jumping back. My heart was warmed and I quickened my pace. I only slowed down when she was almost beside me.

"Grandma, it's so hot and humid, why don't you stay at home?"

Grandma Tan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. She no longer had to worry. "I almost got scared when I didn't see you coming back. Why did you take so long this time?"

Tan Shaoyang pushed the cart and went home with her, explaining as they walked, "After selling the sandworms, the boss didn't have anyone to go out with him, so he asked me to go with him."

"I thought I was just sitting around doing nothing, so I went along for the trip. I made an extra 50 yuan in the past two or three days!"

"Due to the urgency of the matter, I was unable to pass the message back. I'm sorry to have made you worried."

"I'm telling you this, don't let anyone know, otherwise people will think you're mean." As for his grandma, she wasn't worried, because she was the one who supported him the most in the family.

Pamper him wholeheartedly and don't have to worry about anything.

After that, he took another look at the basket behind the car and said, "The oil at home is almost used up, so I bought two kilograms of lard. Grandma, please help me practice."

Grandma Tan was in a cheerful mood and didn't take such a small remark seriously. "Okay, Grandma will help you. I was so worried about you that I didn't feed the pigs properly and haven't even pulled the sweet potato vines yet!"

"I'm worried that something might happen to you. I can't sleep well at night." Tan Shaoyang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "My old lady is the one who cares about me the most. I have to take care of you in your old age. How could something happen to you?"

"I'm still aiming to make a lot of money and build you a big, spacious house to live in!"

"It's a simple matter to pull the sweet potato vines. I can do it. I'll chop them all up for you and put them in the big pot."

After listening to his description of the future, Grandma Tan smiled and said, "I'll stew fish and tofu for you tonight. We caught a two-pound fish at home, but we didn't see the mute sister's father come to collect it. It looks like it's dying. We'll make soup with it tonight."

Tan Shaoyang was very supportive, "Then I'm in for a treat. My grandma's cooking skills are the best. She can always stew the tofu until it's very tasty. I have to have a big bowl of white rice with it to enjoy it in the evening."

Grandma Tan looked at her grandson's greedy look and said, "Ask your sister-in-law to cook more rice so that we can have a satisfying meal."

Chat about daily life while walking.

Tan Shaoyang also said something that the villagers didn't know.

"I don't think the mute sister's father will come these two days. He usually has someone to back him up, and he's arrogant in front of the fishmongers in town. Now no one is willing to accept his goods. I'm afraid he'll be depressed for a few days."

"If he wants to continue doing this job, his price will definitely be suppressed, and I guess the fishermen's fish will also be suppressed."

When Grandma Tan heard this, she stopped walking and said with a worried look on her face, "What should we do? The villagers depend on these fish to make a living!"

"Going fishing depends on the weather, and you can't always find good fish. If you are forced to lower your price, life will be even more difficult."

"Many families are suitable for marrying a wife, but because they haven't saved enough money, it's difficult for them to find a partner! If they are forced to lower their prices, it will only make things worse."

Tan Shaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, your grandson is here! He can't lower the price, and the villagers are not stupid. I am here to collect the fish!"

"If he can't get the goods, he can't make any money. He can only buy them at normal prices, and he can still make ends meet."

We arrived home while we were talking.

Tan Shaoyang went back to his room to put the money away, but when he took it out he found something wrong; the thickness of the money was different.

After counting, I found there were 50 more.

The hand holding the money paused, the tip of his tongue touched his cheek, and he laughed out of anger.

It's obvious that this money came from Bai Meifang. Could it be that this money came from someone else? It's hard to describe just by imagining it.

As a grown man, does he still need a woman to support him?
I was holding my breath and couldn't let it out.

In the end I just locked it up and pretended that out of sight, out of mind.

When I went out to cut sweet potato vines, I found Tan Shaoqing helping me, and hurriedly took over, "Sister Qing, you've recovered, let me do it, the sun will be too strong soon."

Tan Shaoqing watched as the sickle in his hand was snatched away, and said, "Don't take too long to go out next time. Grandma is worried about you!"

Tan Shaoyang nodded, "This time there is a reason for what happened. I have explained it clearly to grandma."

"You should go back quickly and take good care of yourself, or grandma will blame me again."

Tan Shaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look at how worried you are. I'm already well. I've dug up a lot of sandworms and am just waiting to sell them to you!"
