Chapter 367 I'm throwing you
Li Changle rode his bicycle out and saw several children jumping rope in the dam under the sun. Their faces were sunburned red, but they didn't feel the heat.
Shaking his head, he rode his bike to Accountant Chen's house. Seeing him leaning on a rocking chair and listening to opera, he thought that this old man really knew how to enjoy himself. He knocked on the door and said, "Old man, buy some cigarettes!"
"You little brat!" Accountant Chen smiled, "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the day?"
"Buy cigarettes!"
"Don't give me that!" Accountant Chen glanced at him, "Hurry up and tell me, don't delay me from watching the opera."
"Hehe!" Li Changle walked into the room with a smile and gave him a thumbs up, "You are the reincarnation of Yuan Tiangang!"
"Stop flattering me!" Accountant Chen nodded at him. "Tell me the truth, do you want to buy the house at the pier from me?"
After hearing this, Li Changle immediately thought of the three warehouses at the dock. He remembered that they were bought by Chen Dongjia in his previous life. After he came back, he thought that Chen Dongjia had already bought them, but he didn't expect that they had not been sold yet.
I quickly pulled a stool and sat next to him, "Uncle Dong, are you going to sell those warehouses of the brigade?"
"Where did you hear this news? We just finished the meeting here and you came."
"You mentioned the houses on the dock. Even if I'm dumb, I know that there are no other houses for sale except the warehouses of the brigade!"
"Then why did you come to me?"
"I want to ask you, has the row of residential land in front of my house been approved?"
"No one has approved it yet!" Accountant Chen glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to buy it and use it as a drying yard?"
Li Changle smiled with a flattering look on his face, "I told you that you are good at calculating! And you accused me of flattering you!"
"Your family has so many dried fish heads drying there, do you still need to calculate it?" Accountant Chen paused, "I just sold a piece of land to you, and now you want to buy it again. Did you get some gold and silver treasures?"
"If I really get rich, I won't do this anymore. I'll just go to town to watch a movie or play billiards. It's so free and easy to be a king."
"You are capable of doing such a thing."
"There's no gold or silver treasures, but we did catch a few big fish." Li Changle came forward and whispered, "We caught two hairtails and a moonfish in the last ocean. We sold them for some money."
"No wonder I heard Li Ji and Chen Bucktooth say at the dock yesterday that you were making a fortune. I thought they were just exaggerating!"
"Maybe Lord Hailong knew that you were going to sell the warehouse and that I was still in debt, so he just waved his hand and gave me some big goods."
"No one can tell for sure about this matter." Accountant Chen remembered a legend in the fishing village that those who caught a moonfish were very lucky. It seemed that the second branch of the Li family was really going to rise.
"Uncle, why don't you sell me the warehouse and the land?"
"I would like to sell it to you, but I'm afraid the villagers will make up rumors behind my back that I took kickbacks from your family!"
"Everyone in the village knows you are a good person. You are not afraid of slander. Why don't you tell those people who are jealous of you what they want to say?" Li Changle said, "Even if you don't sell it to me, you can sell it to someone else. You still have to say it."
"You're buying a warehouse and planning to open a seafood business?"
"No, I won't open a seafood store." Li Changle thought for a moment and said honestly, "I want to buy it and build a freezer when I save up money. The warehouse is the best place to build a freezer."
Accountant Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I have an idea about this matter. I will notify you after the village committee has a meeting to decide."
"Uncle, where are the foundations outside my new house?"
"You want to buy several houses at the same time. I need to have a meeting with them to discuss it and get their opinions before I tell you."
Li Changle also knew about this matter. It was impossible for him not to inform the village committee. "Okay! Thank you for your help."
Accountant Chen waved his hand and said, "I heard that you bought a shop in town. The price is quite expensive. Aren't you worried about losing money?"
Li Changle knew that it was Chen Dong and his son who told him this, and cursed inwardly, "I originally wanted to rent a shop, but Uncle Kun said that in the future, the shop will only become more and more valuable...
I thought they were people who were doing big things and had a longer-term vision than us, so I pooled money with my sister to buy it.”
"That makes sense. The boss also said that more and more people will do business in the future. If you have any gossip in the future, tell me and I will buy one too."
Li Changle thought about the comprehensive market and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
"I heard that you collected a lot of dried yellow croaker heads this time. Aren't you worried that you won't be able to sell them?"
"Uncle, if you believe me, then ask Ping to collect more yellow croaker heads and keep the fish maws. I haven't sold even a pound of those goods yet. I'll keep them for next year when the price goes up."
He remembered that the purchase and sale prices of aquatic products will be fully liberalized next year, and prices will follow market trends. The price of freshwater fish will not increase much, but the increase will be larger for marine fish, among which the price of yellow croaker will increase the most.
He remembered that the captain of the boat he was helping on said that the fishing boats on the other side of the Wanwan River were buying large yellow croakers at high prices at sea, causing the price of yellow croakers here to soar. The price of yellow croakers weighing more than four taels rose to more than three yuan per catty, and there was no stock of those weighing more than one catty.
"Uncle believes you. When the wind stops, I will let A Ping collect more." Accountant Chen felt that he must have heard this from Manager A Kun. The big boss is well-informed. Things that ordinary people like them don't know, he has already known for a long time.
"Tell Ah Qing that the quality of the dried fish is very important. The drying and storage must be done according to the old rules, otherwise it won't sell for a good price."
The two chatted for a while about drying goods. Li Changle came out of Accountant Chen's house and pushed the cart to the middle of the stone bridge when he heard a woman cursing from the edge of the long pond.
"You idiot, you think you're so great just because you made a few bucks! If you have the ability, you can take these two little brats home and raise them! Your paws are so long, you stick them into other people's business, be careful that you might get chopped off one day."
"Fuck, why does this sound so harsh? It's obvious that he is cursing me indirectly."
Li Changle muttered something and turned to look at the stone steps below the long pond. Only then did he see Mrs. Xiang washing the nets.
He turned his head to look around, parked his bicycle, picked up a stone the size of a porcelain basin, and smashed it in front of the stone steps with a "plop", splashing water high.
"Ah~ Which short-lived ghost is so blind that his eye sockets are gone?"
Mrs. Xiang staggered in fear and sat down on the stone steps. She wiped the water off her face and looked up to see Li Changle. She glared at him with her rat eyes, "You clearly saw me washing the nets here, and you still threw stones at me. Are you blind?"
"You stinky bitch, I'm going to throw you!" Li Changle pointed at her, "You stinky bitch whose heart is darker than cuttlefish ink, I'm just meddling in your family's business, if you have the guts, just call me by name, what's the point of blaming me indirectly!"
Mrs. Xiang was stunned. In her common sense, when most people heard such words, they would just pretend they didn't hear it even if they were unhappy. So why did this idiot start scolding her in front of her?
The villagers living near Changtang came out upon hearing the noise. When they reached the edge of Changtang and saw Mrs. Xiang, they all curled their lips and shook their heads, and started whispering to each other.
Mrs. Xiang's face turned red when she saw the contemptuous looks from everyone around her. Just as she was about to retort, Li Changle pointed at her and started scolding her again.
"You damn bitch, weren't you cursing so vigorously just now? I'm giving you a chance to curse now, why don't you do it? Damn it, you even cut the food rations for the children, I've never seen anyone as wicked as you.
I’m telling you, I’ll take care of all the Xiaoyu brothers’ business. If you dare to withhold their food rations or make sarcastic comments outside his house again, I’ll go to the police station and the public security bureau to report you and your wife for abusing your children.
Find a loud speaker and go to the nearby fishing village and Pan Town to publicize all the evil things you, a wicked woman, have done. Let's see if your two sons will still get married in the future."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiang's face turned ashen. She watched Li Changle's lips move a few times, then squatted down in frustration and pounded the net in the net bag with a clothes beater, taking it out on Li Changle.
He kept cursing in his mouth, "Anti-aircraft gun ghost! Sooner or later, Lord Hailong will take it away..."
Everyone was stunned. "Evil will be punished by evil. People like Mrs. Xiang need a fool like Ah Le to deal with them."
"He is no longer a nobody, he is the captain of a large steel ship."
"I heard from Afang that he has a very sharp mind. He can learn how to start a boat and cast a net just by watching it once."
"Damn it, my eldest son is like a cow. He can't remember even after I teach him dozens of times."
Li Changle didn't realize that she had become someone else's child. Seeing Mrs. Xiang with her head down and not saying anything, she pushed her bicycle towards the bridge.
When he got there, he saw Ge Changfa standing at the door of his house, waving at him. He rode his bike up to him and kicked him, "Get lost! You saw me being bullied and didn't even come to help me!"
"You still need my help!" Ge Changfa said, giving him a thumbs up. "Damn it! Your cursing skills are still as good as ever."
"Nonsense! How can a civilized person like me curse? If you ruin my reputation, I'll sue you for defamation!"
"Yes, if you don't curse people, you are not cursing people."
Ge Changfa pointed at the edge of the long pond with a look of disgust and cursed: "That stinky woman from the Xiang family has been cursing since she weighed the grain for the Xiaoyu brothers. The neighbors can't stand it anymore."
Li Changle rolled his eyes, "Bullshit! I couldn't stand it and I didn't see you guys getting justice!"
Ge Changfa laughed, "We are neighbors next door. We see each other every day. We can only talk about them behind their backs."
"It is precisely because you are playing dumb that she dares to be so arrogant."
"That's true. I think you threw rocks at her on purpose and scolded her so much that she didn't even dare to fart."
Li Changle didn't want to continue talking about this, so he changed the subject and said, "I'm going to the mountains tomorrow to buy some wood from Brother Qian. Do you want to go?"
Ge Changfa shook his head. "I don't have time. The trawl net has several holes in it from the reefs. It will take at least two days to repair it. The weather is getting colder. I need to find someone to weave some sticky nets and buy some mesh to make a few ground traps."
"I bought dozens of three-layer sticky nets at Tuxia Bridge. My eldest brother said that Ah Xiang's sticky nets are of good quality. Have you ever seen them?"
"I've seen it. Ah Xiang said her imported silk is 4.50 per piece. How much did you buy it at Tuxia Bridge?"
"The price is the same as Ah Xiang's, and the silk is also imported."
"I heard that sticky nets are easy to break, and I need to use a lot of them in a winter. I want to go to the town to have a look and compare the prices. I will buy from the store that has the best products and the cheapest price."
"Okay, go and see it and tell me, I'll go buy it then."
