Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

Chapter 75

Lin Jishang smiled and said, "These things are negotiable. As long as you are willing to resell."

This place of theirs is just a small fishing village. Most of the village consists of relatives, and even the remaining half is somehow connected. Moreover, if they want to buy land, they definitely have to speak politely and nicely.

"What? Are you planning to buy at a high price? You should know that the land here already has the foundation of our three houses!"

"Why don't we sit down and talk at your place? It's not convenient to talk under the sun."

"No time; we're busy. We need to quickly build our new house so that we can move in! You should know that this place is a Feng Shui treasure land. As soon as we purchased the land, money started flowing in frequently at home. We have a higher catch of fish every day compared to others who drag nets. It's such a great location, so of course we want to build and move in as soon as possible!"

Ye Yaohua awkwardly glanced at Ye Yaodong. How did their land become a Feng Shui treasure?

Hasn't it been only Ah Dong who has been getting big hauls recently? It doesn't seem like they're doing exceptionally well, right?

The three people across from them exchanged glances, feeling that things might not be easy to handle.

"Uncle Ye isn't here. Let's wait until evening when he comes back before we visit them."

They came quickly and left quickly!

The Ye brothers stood there, watching their hurried figures.

When they had gone far, Lin Xiuqing asked, "Do they really believe in the good feng shui theory? Why does it feel so mystical to me?"

"Who knows if they have been deceived by some charlatan. Anyway, let's just say that this is a feng shui treasure. You know, when the water rises, the boat floats higher, right?"

"Are we really going to sell? We've transported so many materials from the mountain and river."

"No worries. If they really want to buy, they'll have to offer a high price. Otherwise, we won't sell. We can't sell at a loss, right? After all, this is a feng shui treasure. It's clear to everyone that we've been frequently receiving money during this period. Some businessmen believe in these mystical things."

Ye Yaodong nonchalantly walked over and sat down under a shady tree, not planning to work anymore. He was thinking that maybe he could really make a profit by selling the land.

If he could sell at a high price, then he would definitely sell. He couldn't just pass up the opportunity for money. You can build a house anywhere. There's plenty of vacant land in the village. They could just find another place.

Lin Xiuqing was starting to believe what he had told her about this land being a feng shui treasure.

Ye Yaohua felt the same. "Is our place really a feng shui treasure? Then we shouldn't sell it. With such good feng shui, our family will thrive."

Ye Yaodong looked at his second brother speechlessly. "Do you believe every nonesense I say?"

"Didn't he invite someone to assess the feng shui yesterday morning?"

"And before that, there were fortune tellers who said your son would be a top scholar. Do you believe that?"

"Uh... I don't believe it..."

His second nephew grew up to be a seaweed farmer...

"That's settled then. Just listen to what these fraudsters say, and when they claim it's a feng shui treasure, let's consider it a feng shui treasure. Then we can make a hefty profit when we sell it."

It just so happens that the family is poor. They can sell it at a high price and make a profit. They can then find a new piece of land and build a house there, while also making some extra money.

He looked at the land in front of the beach. It was perfect, facing the sea, warm in spring, and with even better feng shui!

In his previous life, the village developed a tourism industry, and they filled the mudflats in front of the beach to create a large area of land for housing. They built a lot of villas, and the ones in the back were turned into guesthouses. The business was booming.

Although the beach hasn't been filled yet, there are still plenty of vacant lots around. Occupying a piece of land in advance and they can get compensation for demolition in a few decades.

At first, his father mentioned building a house to split the family, but he was still processing his rebirth and hadn't sorted out his thoughts. He didn't expect this opportunity to arise now!

He stopped Lin Xiuqing, who was pushing the gray cart up the mountain to work. "Take a break, don't work so hard. When Mother brings the food later, talk to her about it."

"But we can't delay the work."

"You know, what if we build a house in front of the beach? Open the window, and there's the sea. Facing the sea, warm in spring, isn't that great?"

Lin Xiuqing said irritably, "You're being ridiculous. We've seen the sea before. During a typhoon, one wave can flood the house."

"Just don't build too close to the beach. There's a large empty area further back where the waves won't reach. You'll know when the tide comes and goes just by standing at the doorstep. We can go sea digging anytime."

She thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense. They would know when the tide receded while at home, and they could go to the beach faster than others.

"So... if those three come to our house in the evening, should we really sell this piece of land?"

"Well, we only started construction a few days ago and just finished the foundation. Let's see how much money they're prepared to offer. We spent 300 yuan on the foundation, and the workers have been working for these days. The wages are not small, and there are expenses for food and drink. Let's see what Dad says."

He couldn't make the decision; the money for building the houses came from his parents.

"Oh."

Knowing that someone was interested in their property, Ye Yaodong also didn't work as hard. Who knows if his father would sell?

When he finished work and returned home, he realized that today's catch was just average. Only making 28 yuan from selling the fish, and after deducting the diesel cost, what was left was only 22 or 23 yuan.

Compared to yesterday, it was much less.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing and the two other sisters-in-law came back, they started gutting the fish without taking a breath. Ever since they had a boat for fishing, the amount of fish they caught each day equaled what others caught in a lifetime.

Father Ye also knew that someone went to the homestead today and said that he wanted to buy that piece of land. He was smoking his pipe while thinking about whether to sell it or not.

"What do you think?"

Ye Yaodong, shirtless and with one leg propped up on a chair, fanned himself. "Whatever, there's empty land everywhere in the village. Can't we build a house anywhere? We don't have to hang ourselves on one tree. Besides, the house hasn't been completed yet. We've only laid the foundation and stacked a few stones."

Ye Yaopeng also chimed in, "Let's see how much they're willing to offer. We can't let our work during this period go to waste."

Ye Yaohua rubbed his hands together and grinned, "Our piece of land is a feng shui treasure. They should be willing to pay a good price, right?"

"Why don't we spread some more rumors saying that our land is a feng shui treasure? Maybe we can attract a few rich people to bid for it."

Father Ye glared at Mother Ye. "That's a bad idea. What if they say it's fake and cause trouble for us? Lin Jishang and the others came to us on their own. We have nothing to do with it."

"I'm going to take a shower. Who knows if they'll come or not? I'm starving after working all day."

"Go take a shower first, then we'll eat. We can discuss it when they arrive."

As a result, by the time they finished their meal, it was almost dark when they finally saw the three people from earlier approaching.

"Uncle Ye, have you finished eating?" Lin Jishang smiled and greeted everyone.

"We have. I heard you were looking for me during the day?" Father Ye sat at the entrance, enjoying the cool breeze, and didn't bother to get up. After all, he wasn't the one seeking a favor.

"Yes, my cousin wanted to talk to you, but my dad is not at home, so I brought him here. Can we go inside and talk?"

"Sure, let's go inside."

All the men from the Ye family followed them inside, while the women and children remained at the entrance, still enjoying the cool breeze. The curious neighbors asked what they were there for.

Mother Ye simply said she didn't know, brushing off their inquiries.
