Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 49: Lowering the price, the negotiation broke down!

The next day, the sun rose at dawn.

The sunlight shines on the vast sea surface, as if it were coated with a layer of golden light. The sparkling scene is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Mr. and Mrs. Tan rowed the boat back to the shore. One could see a trace of fatigue on their faces. This trip was quite tiring.

They caught valuable fish, but they didn't plan to keep them. When they saw the mute sister's father, they wanted to sell them. The main reason was that the third brother wouldn't take them, and they didn't want to take them home. The money was theirs only when it was in their pockets.

When we talked about the price, we were stunned.

The price of 2 cents was actually reduced to 1 cent, which made the couple so angry that they wanted to catch the mute girl's father and beat him up to vent their anger.

After years of trading, who can stand being tormented like this?
It was not an easy thing to make a living on the ship, and to be treated so disgustingly by others made the tired man even more angry.

"How can you do things like this? The transaction has not been going on for a day or two. You are so aggressive in lowering the price. We all rely on making a living. It will be difficult to make a living in the future."

The mute girl's father advised her in a long and stern voice, "If you don't sell your fish, they will die in two days. You can make some money by selling them. But the market is like this now. If you can't make any money, I can't give you a high price."

Fish could originally be sold for 30 cents, but now it has been reduced to 20 cents, so the purchase price can only be reduced to 10 cents, otherwise he will make no profit.

If you can't make money, there's no point in struggling.

After working so hard all day and being exposed to the sun, it’s impossible for all the work to be in vain!

He didn't want this to happen, but his relatives were dragged down and the fishmongers took every opportunity to lower the prices, so he couldn't do anything about it!
Mr. Tan was so angry that his face was gloomy. "Even if you are not making money, you can't cut it in half. Normally, I can sell it for 20 cents, but you cut it down to 10 cents. Is there anything like that?"

"Everyone knows that you make money normally, and no one says anything if you can make a living. But you're lowering the price, making it difficult to make a living. How can anyone compromise?"

"You make a living at sea, but you risk your life to make money."

The two of them argued until their ears turned red and their necks became thick.

Tan Shaoyang pushed the cart and walked over with lazy steps. He heard the quarrel and after listening for a while he knew the reason.

After the price of the mute girl's father was forced down, he could only ask the villagers for help. But the villagers were not easy to fool. It was not that easy to let him manipulate them!
"What's going on? Even though the deal failed, you're still arguing?"

"Dad, you just got off the boat. Why are you staying here instead of going home to rest?"

As he said this, he took a look and found that there were quite a lot of fish.

"I got quite a lot this time. If I sell them, I can make a small profit."

"Dad, you go back. I'll send the fish directly to town."

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. They should pay what they owe. No one can find fault with this."

Tan Shaoyang's few light words calmed down Tan's father's anger.

"If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have to argue so much."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back, ignored the dumbfounded mute sister's father beside him, and followed his wife home.

The sun is scorching and it's so painful to be on the boat. I just want to go back and lie down. The third brother has made it. I should let go if I can. Otherwise, it will take me a long time to stand up again!
Tan Shaoyang got busy, loading the truck as it should be. The young man was fast and skillful, without any delay.

After loading everything onto the bicycle, the furious mute sister's father passed by and said, "I thought you didn't buy fish anymore, but it turns out you still do! It's just that your price is a bit too high!"

"My dad is such a kind person, but he can quarrel with you. If it were someone else, the quarrel would be even more fierce!" "Even a powerful dragon can defeat a local snake. If you don't take it easy, you may get beaten up someday."

"Look at this endless seashore. If it gets swept away by the sea someday, not even your body will be left..."

Tan Shaoyang said two sentences and then left. As for what he didn't finish, anyone with a little intelligence and imagination could guess what he wanted to say.

The mute girl's father looked at his back as he walked away, and his chest ached with anger, especially because he saw a hint of complacency in his leisurely back.

I'm so mad!

Who doesn’t want to collect more fish?
He also wants to buy it at the usual price. Isn't this a case of the price being suppressed and no profit being made?

It's really like that: things change over time!

"Don't be so complacent. If you get too complacent, you'll hit a brick wall one day."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "You should say this to yourself. I'm not the kind of person who would suppress others just because I have some connections at home."

"You can make money yourself, but you can't bear to see others getting rich. Only those who try to take advantage of others will end up in trouble!"

"I receive goods honestly, without cheating or deceiving anyone. How could a person with such a conscience like me run into such a problem?"

"Just wait and see how I make money!"

"After all, this is my territory. If I collect the fish, whether you can receive the goods in the future or not is the same thing!"

"Of course, if you don't lower the price casually, you can still make a living."

"If this is self-inflicted, then there is nothing we can do."

Tan Shaoyang showed off for a while and made everyone leave in anger. He had finally satisfied his craving, so how could he not get back at them?
Even if he got angry enough to become sick, he still thought it was a good thing!
I went to find Uncle Shi and sold the fish easily.

I didn’t stay outside for too long as the sun was very hot, so I went home after selling everything.

Who would have thought that as soon as I got home, I saw the hall was full of people. I paused for a moment. If I hadn't heard the lively laughter, I would have thought something big had happened.

In the village, it is not a good thing for so many people to gather at one time. Usually, the place will be full only when there is a banquet.

It was normal for him to pause at this moment.

As soon as he appeared, the people chatting in the living room saw him and shouted enthusiastically, "Old Third, you're back."

The tone was so enthusiastic that everyone even stood up to greet him, which made him feel very embarrassed. When did he become so important?
He usually hangs around in the village.

Not to mention that people would treat him differently, I'm afraid that everyone would talk about him when they get together, saying that he is a man who has done nothing!
He scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Come to my house and play."

Mother Tan stood up and explained to him, "These aunts and uncles are here to see you. Mute sister's father has lowered the price of fish, so they came to ask you if you can give you a good price."

Some people go fishing or use nets, and they can always catch some fish. Even if they don't make a lot of money, it's enough to make a living.

Tan Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Whatever fish we normally collect, you can bring them here and I will buy them at the usual price."
