Chapter 1608 Happy Event
Ye Chenghai patted Ye Chenghe on the shoulder, "Good brother, lend me a hundred or two thousand."
Ye Chenghe's eyes widened instantly, and he shoved his arm away.
"Why don't you go rob a bank? You can shout as much as you do when you rob a bank. I have a million or two, why would I need to rely on my third uncle for food? I would have started my own business a long time ago."
"Oh, so I was just a stepping stone for you."
Ye Chenghe quickly flattered, "Oh no, Third Uncle is my benefactor. Without Third Uncle, where would I earn so much money?"
"That's not necessarily true. Your father needs people on his ship too."
"That's different. What my dad earns is just money passing from one hand to the other, while what my third uncle earns... hahaha... what my dad earns is at most a fixed wage, but what I earn from my third uncle is real money. The more goods my third uncle sells, the more trips I make, and naturally, the more I earn."
Ye Yaodong said irritably, "I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind. Your dad's side makes money by transferring it from one hand to the other, while I make money by taking from the outside in."
"Hehe, hahaha..."
"roll……"
"I'm leaving now..."
Ye Chenghe quickly ran away, leaving only Ye Chenghai behind.
The two chatted for a while, starting with Ye Chenghai's desire to make fishing boat parts. They talked casually, with Ye Yaodong listening and Ye Chenghai talking.
After discussing these things, we also chatted a bit about the wedding procession tomorrow.
These past few days, the family has been in a frenzy. Not only is Ye Chenghai's family busy, but Lin Xiuqing is also running around doing chores.
Ye Yaodong was busy with other matters, so he didn't help much with Ye Chenghai's wedding. It was his father and his two older brothers who took care of the arrangements.
It's all arranged now. Tomorrow, the eighth day of the lunar new year, we'll set sail for the provincial capital before dawn to pick her up. We'll arrive at the bride's house in the morning, and then she can return home before dusk, around the time of the evening banquet.
After all, the wedding and engagement are held together. The engagement banquet is on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and the wedding banquet is on the ninth day. The bride and her family are brought over for the banquet on the eighth day, and then the bride and her family are settled in the town's guesthouse that night.
The next day, the ninth day of the lunar new year, all they had to do was drive their tractor to the town's guesthouse to pick up the bride.
This way it's more time-saving and convenient, and we can still make it to the right time. After all, the journey is quite long, so this is the only compromise we can make by picking them up a day earlier. Otherwise, if we wait until the wedding day to pick them up, it will be too late.
This was something we discussed over the past few days.
The ship used was the same new ship that Ye Yaopeng had just delivered, which was just right.
The big red flowers on the boat haven't been removed yet, the boat is brand new, it hasn't been used for fishing, and there's no strange smell at all. It's perfect for use as soon as I got it.
As for the fishing boats, Ye Chenghai has already arranged for a tractor to go to the provincial capital's dock to pick them up for the wedding.
Everything is ready and arranged perfectly; all that's left is tomorrow.
After hearing the arrangements for tomorrow, Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder and said, "The arrangements are quite good. Once you're married, you're an adult, not a child anymore. You need to be more mature in the future."
Ye Chenghai grinned foolishly, "I know."
“You have a good father-in-law, and now you’re planning to open a small parts workshop yourself. You’re bound to do well in the future.”
Doing business these days is exceptionally easy. As long as you have goods, you don't have to worry about not having customers. It's really hard to say whether Ye Chenghai or Ye Chenghe will be stronger in the future.
He himself is not sure how the land in Chengdu will be developed in the future; he only knows the general direction.
Now, everything is left to the trajectory of the times.
Just as they were talking, Ye Chenghu came over.
"Brother Hai, why wasn't I among the wedding party! Brother Jiang and Brother Chenghe both went, why wasn't I there!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll go help you pick up your bride!"
"Stop joking, we got up very early, we have to leave before dawn."
"I can get up too. I'm fine with not sleeping at night. Why should they all go? Even if you don't call me, I'm still your brother!"
"You're too young..."
"What do you mean 'young'? I'm already 14 years old! In two more years, I'll be able to get married!"
Ye Chenghai was amused by him and stretched out his dragon claw to grab his crotch.
"Is your pubic hair fully grown yet? You're already thinking about getting married?"
Ye Chengyang had just run over when he heard this and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Brother wants to get married? Didn't you say you didn't want to get married, that you never wanted to get married in this life?"
Ye Chenghu blushed, covered his crotch, and took a step back. "That was just a metaphor."
"If you don't want to get married, why are you using this analogy?"
"I was just saying it offhand. Chenghe hyung found a girlfriend when he was in junior high school and got engaged when he was 16! That's why I made that comparison!"
Ye Yaodong said, "Don't follow his example. This is bad behavior. What's so good about dating so early? At 16, you're still as tender as a bean sprout. What's the point of getting married? It's ridiculous."
Ye Chenghu nodded vigorously, "Of course, I don't want to get married. Oh, no, I'm getting off-topic, I'm going to go with Brother Hai to pick up the bride."
"Huh? You're going? Then I want to go too!" Ye Chengyang hurriedly said.
"Why are you all getting involved? You two are too young. I have enough people already, I don't need you."
"No, one from each family. My father is your third uncle, so our family must send a representative to accompany you to the wedding!"
"If my brother goes, I want to go too."
Ye Chenghai frowned as he looked at the two of them. "I'll be up very early tomorrow, you definitely won't be able to get up."
"We can get up!" they both said in unison.
Ye Chenghai had no choice but to look at Ye Yaodong, "Third Uncle?"
"Let Chenghu go with him. As long as he can get up, Yangyang is fine. Yangyang stays at home. The bride will be brought over tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you'll have to go to the room to pee like a child. You'll get a red envelope for that."
Ye Chengyang was initially a little sad when he heard that he was done with it, but when he heard that he would still be useful later and could even get a red envelope, he immediately nodded happily.
"Okay, then I'll wait at home and let my brother go to fetch the bride."
Ye Chenghu glanced at it longingly, feeling a little regretful, but since it was his own request, he could only accept it.
"Then I'll go with you to pick up the bride. What time do you need to get up? Brother Hai, you have to wake me up."
"Alright, since Third Uncle said he'd bring you along, then I'll bring you along too. There will be red envelopes for the wedding procession, you know."
He was instantly delighted, "Great! Brother Hai, congratulations on your marriage and may you have a baby soon!"
"You'd better get up early, or I won't wait for you."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to get up."
The next day, before dawn and before the roosters crowed, Ye Chenghai set off with a group of friends and brothers.
Meanwhile, things got busy at home too. Everyone got up to help, carrying tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks, buying groceries early in the morning, and cooking for the helpers and family members. All of this required manpower.
Some of the neighbors who lived nearby and had a good relationship with them also got up early in the morning to help out.
Amidst the cacophony of voices and chatter, only Ye Xiaoxi remained soundly asleep inside.
Ye Chengyang woke up when he heard Ye Chenghu getting up, and then got up as well. However, the adults sent him back to sleep for a while, but he got up again as soon as it was light.
He sleepily ran over to the busy Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Mom, when am I going to pee?"
"When do you pee?"
"Dad said I need to pee like a boy."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "No rush, the bride will come tomorrow, and we'll call you to pee after we get her to her room."
"Oh."
Upon hearing that he didn't need to urinate now, Ye Chengyang quickly ran home to urinate in the morning. He had been holding it in since he got up, not daring to urinate, and he didn't know when he would need to urinate.
Ye Yaodong got up to help before the rooster crowed, and didn't return with his older brother until the sun was high in the sky. Only then did he have time to sit down and eat breakfast.
After finishing their meal, they rushed to the workshop to help set up tables and chairs.
His workshop has the largest open space here, making it a perfect spot to hold a wedding banquet, as it's close by.
The old lady's 90th birthday celebration was also held there last year, so we had some experience. The only difference was that last year's "longevity" character was replaced with "happiness" this year.
The walls and ceiling were covered with colorful ribbons and flags, and the ground was temporarily covered with red carpets.
They also bought a red carpet for the road leading to the workshop near their home, but they would save the one for the evening.
Everywhere was decorated in festive red, which was a favorite among children. Most of the children in the village were running and playing around their workshop, their laughter filling the air.
Amidst the lively and festive atmosphere, a bad sound suddenly arose.
"Oh no! Ah Hong's legs have been broken by his sons..."
The one speaking was Aunt Ye, who came running over breathlessly to ask for help.
"This is terrible! It's the Lunar New Year, what kind of mess is this... Quickly, a few of you come and help..."
"They still won't take him to get treatment, what a mess they've made! Someone come and help us quickly..."
Because of his family's good reputation in the village, most of Ye Chenghai's relatives came to help or just to watch the excitement when he got married. As a result, when Ye's aunt needed help but couldn't find anyone, she had to come and ask for help.
The neighbors wanted to help but were helpless, since his own son wouldn't allow him to receive treatment.
All I could do was come over and ask my relatives to say a few words to put my disobedient grandson in check.
Upon hearing this, some people stood up and asked questions.
"What's going on? It's the Lunar New Year, why are they making a fuss again?"
"How long has it been? What happened again? How could he break my leg? Did Ah Hong do something again?"
"Everyone hurry up and go see him. Who knows what he's doing during the New Year holiday? His leg is broken, he needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment right away."
Aunt Ye said anxiously and sadly, "I don't know what happened. Ah Hong has been staying with me recently. He just went home for a short while, and I heard from someone that there was another fight at home. I rushed over and found that they had started fighting again."
"Never mind that for now, hurry over and help. Those three brats are too ruthless, even harming their own father."
"Hurry up, everyone hurry up..."
Whether they went to help or just to watch the fun, most of the people were called away by Aunt Ye.
If it weren't for the chores at home, Ye's mother and A-Qing and the others would have gone to check on them.
Forget about helping them; they're just there to watch the show and see why they got beaten up again.
Mother Ye grumbled, "On such a joyous day, all this noise and commotion..."
Actually, she wanted to say that it was good that his leg was broken, so as not to cause trouble for others. However, since he was her nephew, she couldn't say it out loud, lest people say she was heartless.
Sister-in-law Ye frowned and muttered a curse under her breath: "What bad luck! He deserved to be beaten to death."
Lin Xiuqing asked, "They can't even have a moment of peace during the New Year. I wonder what's wrong this time. They must have done something else, otherwise why would their three sons beat him again?"
"I don't know what fear is. We just had a bloody fight before the New Year, and now you're causing this mess. You'll be beaten to death sooner or later." Sister-in-law Ye still spoke without any mercy.
"They'll know why they got beaten up when they come back after they've seen the show."
"It's the Lunar New Year, what could possibly be so difficult to resolve? Why make such a scene during the most important month of the year? To be honest, those kids are just being unreasonable..."
"It was originally the adults' fault. Before he came back, the mother and her children were able to get by and were doing quite well. It was only after Ah Hong came back that things became chaotic."
Most people went to watch the excitement, and those who remained were mostly their own family members or close relatives, mostly women, while the men were all moving and lifting things in the workshop.
Everyone was talking animatedly, each contributing their own points.
It's someone else's festivities anyway. I was just worried about having nothing to say while I was busy with my work, but now I have something to talk about.
The incident on New Year's Eve was talked about for a long time after the New Year. Before the New Year was even over, something new came out.
After talking for a while, no one knew what was going on, so they just kept repeating the same thing over and over.
Unable to resist, Ye's mother called over the twins who were playing nearby and asked them to go to the workshop to fetch Ye Chengyang. She then sent Ye Chengyang to inquire about the matter.
He's only half-grown now, can't do much work, but can understand gossip, so he's the most suitable person to be sent out.
He was quick-witted; he ran there and then ran back 10 minutes later.
"I understand now. Uncle Hong broke into the house to steal money when no one was home, and then he was caught red-handed and beaten."
“His legs were broken by those older brothers. They said they would rather just take care of him like this than let him run out and cause trouble for others and then for the family.”
"Many people surrounded them and urged them to take him to the hospital immediately, but the brothers refused. Some people even said that it was fine as it was."
"They were still arguing there, surrounded by people three or four layers deep. I barely managed to squeeze in and understand what was going on."
"That uncle was still lying on the ground, his face covered in bruises, groaning and cursing his brothers for being unfilial. He said he should have strangled them when they were born, and cursed them for being beaten by lightning."
"Then that auntie kept crying, and a lot of older women and grandmothers were there trying to comfort her."
“My brothers were also there saying that they wouldn’t let him get treatment, that they would just let his leg stay broken so that things would calm down later, and that they would rather he never come back.”
"They said today it's just a broken leg, but if it happens again, they'd rather send him back in and let him retire there."
Before Ye Chengyang could even catch his breath, he rattled off everything he had just heard, rambling on and on without any particularly strong logic.
But everyone understood the reason for today's events.
P.S.: I'm having writer's block... It's so difficult...
