Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 58 The posture of dying together!
When Tan Shaoyang knew that Xu Qiang was not moving, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally turned the situation around and prevented him from making a mistake.

People who are diligent in this life and develop in a good direction should not suffer such consequences.

After calculating the time, Mr. Tan and his companions would be back soon, either today or tomorrow. He might as well go out and wait, so that if there were any fish, he could take them to the town and sell them as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I heard a lot of noisy sounds, the sounds of running and shouting mixed together, which sounded particularly noisy.

The crowd rushed towards the beach at a very fast speed.

I'm afraid something has happened.

It wouldn't be so noisy if it wasn't a big deal.

Tan Shaoyang pulled the person who wanted to run away and asked, "What happened? It's so noisy."

The people who were watching the show were stopped in their tracks and replied, "The old stubborn guy is arguing with Lao Tie's father and is even threatening to carry someone to the sea and drown him."

"It's probably because he paid the money but didn't see the fishing boat. The stubborn guy got angry and took it out on Lao Tie's dad. If someone dies, it will be a big deal. Everyone is here to watch the fun."

Tan Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that something bad was going to happen. In his previous life, his old friend had taken away his money and never returned to the village. He came back in middle age with a lame leg.

He looks very embarrassed and haggard. He doesn't look like someone who can make money. Instead, he looks like someone who has suffered a lot.

The stubborn old man waited and waited, but no boat came. His hopes were shattered in an instant. Didn't he collapse?

He was a stubborn person, and had been thrifty all his life. Now all his savings had been swindled away. How could he not be angry?

Laotie's father has been targeted by him, and the two families are likely to fight to the death.

It is human nature to watch the excitement. Even if you put down what you are doing, you still want to see it for real. After all, strange things don't happen every day.

Tan Shaoyang also followed over.

Make money if you can. When you have free time, do something to kill time.

Go over to the seaside.

Sure enough, I saw the two of them quarreling, and dragging each other into the sea, as if they were determined to die together with the others.

When I was so angry that I was no longer afraid of death.

Laotie's dad has no idea what Laotie is doing outside. He is so disappointed in him that he refuses to bother with him if he can't persuade him.

No matter what my friend does, he just ignores him.

Who knew he would be left with such a mess!

"You are stupid, who can you blame? My son is a jerk, not even worth a damn. His mother and I don't want to bother with him anymore, but you still let him fool you. Who can you blame?"

"We are all locals, we know everything about him. Don't you know whether he can take out the boat?"

"You are so delusional and willing to be fooled by him. What can I do?"

"A refueling ship costs tens of thousands of dollars! Isn't it wishful thinking to buy it for just a few hundred dollars?"

"Let alone ships, just look at how many boats our village can afford. Every family that has a boat has been repairing and patching it up year after year."

"Forget about giving you a ship. Even if I ask him to pay 20 dollars, he can't pay it. He is just a liar. I don't know how much I have paid for his debt. I have lost all my family fortune."

"I have no hope in this life. If you think drowning me can pay off my debts, then just drown me!"

How could the stubborn old man bear to do that? If he really drowned the person, he would be in trouble too.

"He is your son. Don't think you can just ignore him. This is not a problem that can be solved by dying. You have to make money to compensate me."

Lao Tie's legs were weak, and he had no desire to live. "How much money did he cheat you out of?" The stubborn old man was so angry that he almost fainted. He said in a trembling voice, "300 yuan, I gave him more than 200 yuan at the beginning, and then I borrowed dozens of yuan to make up the 300 yuan for him."

"He said he would send the boat back to me in half a month. Now it's October and there's still no news. I'm almost tired of watching him every day."

"That was my hard-earned money! He just took it away like that. Does he have any conscience at all?"

"I have sacrificed my coffin just to have a boat. How can this be done?"

Lao Tie's father's legs and feet were weak, and he squatted in the sea. He wanted to die. "You are willing to be fooled by him. It's useless to come to me. My family is so poor that we can't afford to spend a penny."

"He borrowed money from everywhere, from all his relatives, and used up all the money he could at home. Now all that was left was an empty shell."

"The only thing of value is the pig. It can be sold for a hundred dollars. Take it away and sell it!"

The stubborn old man shook him off and hurried to his house. 100 is 100, and any amount of money that can be saved is the better.

If you don’t hurry up, others will take it away and you’ll have nothing left.

As far as he knew, there were many people who had been deceived by Lao Tie!

The mute girl secretly took out all her father's money, but it was a total of 500 yuan!

I’m afraid this is all the savings that the mute girl’s father has accumulated over the years.

By the time the mute sister’s father finds out, he won’t have anything to do with it.

Those who were watching discovered that the stubborn old man no longer dragged Lao Tie's father, but instead ran to his house and took his pig away.

When Lao Tie's mother found out, she slapped her thigh and cried, "This pig is my hope for this year. If you take it away, I will have no hope at all."

The stubborn old man was not a soft-hearted person. He didn't even look at her crying and said, "It's no use crying. Who told you to raise your son without teaching him seriously?"

"Your son cheated me out of 300 yuan. I will sell this pig and make the money back."

As he said this, he pushed the people away, put the pig in the pig cage, carried it away.

In order to avoid any more trouble, I slaughtered the fish and sold it the next day for 100 yuan. Although I still lost money, at least I made back some money.

There were three families in the village who pooled their money to buy a boat. When they heard about this, they became very anxious and hurried to ask Lao Tie's father for money. As a result, their house was empty and there was no valuables left.

Laotie’s dad doesn’t care whether they are dependent on him or not, he doesn’t have the energy to do anything about it.

"It's useless for you to waste time. I can see the situation. I really can't spend a penny. There's no rice in the pot."

"How can I be so worthy of your trust?"

Several people were so angry that their legs became weak. They took out all their money and were afraid that they would be in trouble when they returned.

It's all the Tan family's fault. They became wishful thinking when they saw them building a house, but ended up being cheated by their old friend.

It’s so frustrating just thinking about it.

"It's all Old Tan's fault. If it wasn't for the desire to make money, who would be deceived?"

"We are all neighbors who have known each other for a long time. He is so heartless. He knows that it is not easy to buy a ship, but he didn't even try to persuade us."

"That's right. If he had given us some advice, we wouldn't have been defrauded of hundreds of dollars. We would have been scolded so badly when we got home."

The three of them angrily cursed the people of the Tan family, completely ignoring the fact that they just wanted to join in the fun when Tan's father was trying to dissuade the stubborn old man.

If I have anyone to blame, I can only blame myself for being greedy.
