Chapter 201: Lao Tie took people away, Uncle Tian was angry
The crescent moon hangs on the branches, shining in the yard with a faint glow.

Tan Shaoyang chased away the person who was clinging to him. He was very tired and didn’t want to talk nonsense with him. He decided to go back to his room and lie down comfortably. He still had a lot of work to do tomorrow morning!

After getting the money, Zhang Yishui was too lazy to stay. He protected his pocket with one hand, blew the whistle, and walked away in a nonchalant manner.

The hidden dangers have been resolved, why are you still staying here?
The next day.

As soon as Tan Shaoyang passed the factory, he heard the sound of hammering. The workers were holding wooden hammers and leveling the yellow mud, hammering down every small area.

The ground at that time was all leveled like this. Every household had a wooden hammer like this with a handle for easy control. The wooden hammer was a thick trapezoidal plate, long and heavy.

Hitting the ground hard can make the soil firm.

Tan Shaoyang also joined the camp, and he experienced the power of strength in numbers very clearly.

It was leveled in one day.

Tan Shaoyang was satisfied and took the money happily. As for the work of dividing the money, it was naturally done by the foreman Xu Qiang.

They are all young people who usually have no money. They use the money they earn from fishing to buy food. Now they are very happy to have money in their hands. In the future, they will be able to make money with their own abilities.

On the way back, everyone was chattering and the discussion was extremely heated. They couldn’t wait to build another house so that everyone could know about it!

The parents’ mouths were cracked with smiles. Now that their child has graduated, he will be able to earn more money in the future. Will it not be long before he builds a bright house?
Of course, the young people were only happy for a moment, and then the money was confiscated, with the excuse that it was to be saved for them to build a bright new house and marry a wife in the future.

Some smart ones will hide some in advance so that not all will be confiscated. Otherwise, all their work will be in vain and they won’t even be able to satisfy their hunger, which would be very frustrating.

Those who don’t know how to hide will be frustrated. Why don’t they learn to be smarter?

I could only watch others drinking soda.

Tan Shaoyang was unaware of the young man’s worries and took all the fish he collected to the factory. This way, the house would be free of the odor for a few days and would not be filled with flies.

Grandma Tan was busy beside him and sighed, “Old Third! These old ladies are old, their legs and feet are not nimble enough, and they complain about back pain. What can we do?”

Tan Shaoyang raised his eyebrows. At the beginning, he did want to take care of the old ladies and let them do some work to pass the time.

But now the sudden increase in volume is indeed beyond their ability to bear, and harming their bodies would be counterproductive.

“Grandma, then go find some young ones! Anyway, anyone who is skillful and willing can come.”

“We work by the pound. The more we do, the more we get. The less we do, the less we get.”

“As for those old ladies, you should let them take it easy. There’s no need to fight too hard, otherwise it won’t be worth it.”

“You are responsible for supervising the work. If anyone does not handle the work properly, you should remind them. You are the most critical link and you cannot just follow along. If you get tired, there will be no one left to make the fish.”

“This is about making a lot of money, and we can’t delay it at all.”

Tan Shaoyang reminded him that he had to go out because he had too many crispy fish in stock and had to sell them.

If the construction of the factory had not been delayed, he would have made this trip a long time ago.

This stuff sells well when the weather is warm, but it’s not so easy to sell when the oil lumps together in cold weather. Although it’s not that cold here, it will still be cold for a few days.

After Tan Shaoyang went to Guangdong to deliver the goods, he went to Sister Bai’s house to pay the public grain tax, enjoyed a pleasant indulgence, and then hurried back.

There are so many things to do and I can’t spare any extra time.

Just returned to the small fishing village.

Uncle Tian from the village came over.

“Third brother, can you go and ask if there is any movement with Gao Jun’s daughter?”

“I went out with my best friend, and several months have passed. I haven’t received any money from him, and he has disappeared as well.”

“If it really doesn’t work, just find a way to get them back!”

“The child is young, so it doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, you still have to meet the people.”

My girl is not young anymore. She can get married after raising her for one or two years. Don’t try to do this in vain and get nothing in return!
Tan Shaoyang frowned. At the beginning, they didn’t bother to stop him and sent people out while he was out to sea. It was obvious that they were afraid that he would hinder them. Now they are asking him for help again. Do they think he is easier to control?
When you asked people to leave, why didn’t you take the child into consideration?

Don’t you think it’s too late to worry about it now?
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows which direction the iron boss will take them?

“Uncle Tian, ​​I don’t get along well with Brother Gao Fu. He was so weird the last time I went to his house for dinner. How can I get any information if you ask me to go to his house and ask him?”

“If you really want to know, bring two taels of peanuts and a pot of wine. Get him drunk and you can find out.”

“Gao Jun likes to drink a few glasses of wine. When he’s drunk, he can’t control his words. Then you can ask him about the situation you want to know.”

Uncle Tian was hesitant and looked embarrassed.

Tan Shaoyang pretended not to see it. He couldn’t be so stupid as to prepare wine and food for people!

I didn’t believe him at first, but now I come to ask him for help.

Although I don’t mind this little bit, I don’t like being taken advantage of.

Tan Shaoyang looked unwilling to pay attention, so Uncle Tian could only leave reluctantly. As for whether he went over to ask or not, that was none of his concern.

After sending the people away, I went to the factory.

There are so many people and so many eyes, so we have to keep an eye on them and not let anyone in to fill in the gaps.

Especially when processing fish roe, it must not be mixed with unprocessed ones, which will affect the taste and damage its reputation.

For a long-term business, all aspects must be taken into consideration.

Tan Shaoyang put on gloves and turned over the fish in the porcelain basin one by one, and did not think it was a waste of time just because there were so many people.

Most of them are safe, but a few are trying to take advantage of the situation. They want to take advantage of the fact that there are many people and no one is checking, so they mix in some unprocessed fish to increase the weight.

After all, it is calculated by kilograms, so you can only manipulate the weight.

Tan Shaoyang checked one or two and found a lot of unprocessed stuff mixed in. They wanted to make up the numbers and make more money.

There have always been such people since ancient times. If they are not fast enough, they will find ways to do some opportunistic things.

The old ladies are all honest people and will not do anything shaky, but the younger ones are more active.

This is why he came to check.

Whether it can be trusted or not, you will know after checking it.

“Sixth Aunt, please help check the fish. If there are more than five fish in a basin that have not been processed, they will be returned. If anyone is unwilling, just leave.”

“Each basin of fish must be inspected before being weighed and counted. Anyone who wants to cheat will not be tolerated.”

“I won’t name any of you who are trying to fish in troubled waters. Those who know the answer should just go back to work.”

“I want to do long-term business. I want you to make some money while you are free, but you can’t interfere with my work.” “If I can’t make money, you will naturally lose this job. Don’t dig your own grave and block your own way.”

“This fish wasn’t cleaned properly, it’s full of shit, it’s disgusting for you guys to eat, let alone the people who paid for it.”

“People don’t pay money to buy garbage. Let alone a bunch of young people whose hands and feet are not as nimble as a bunch of old ladies.”

Tan Shaoyang spoke without thinking in front of others. He was paid, and such behavior should be stopped in time. There was no need to save face.

After all, when he was taking advantage of the situation, he didn’t consider whether it would affect the continuation of his business.

When Grandma Tan heard this, she frowned and started cursing too. The old lady was even more impolite than him, and her cursing was just as bloody as it could be.

Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

It makes people fearful and afraid to act recklessly.

Mrs. Tan looked at the scene, shrank her neck, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, “Old Third, my sister-in-law from my mother’s family wants to come and help, is that okay with you?”

Tan Shaoyang said, “Second sister-in-law, you can handle it yourself. Anyway, I am a person who deals with things based on facts. I will not care about face if I don’t handle them properly.”

“It’s the same for you. If I pay you, you have to do the job well. If you don’t, you will be scolded.”

“If you want to call them, just call them. As long as you can bear the consequences, it’s fine. We are all family here. Don’t think you can’t discipline them just because they are acquaintances.”

Anyway, the fish are processed by the kilogram, so the more people there are, the better. The more you work, the more you earn. If you are lazy, you will earn less.

There is no such thing as making money without working.

That’s why he doesn’t calculate by the day, otherwise he’d be wasting time here and trying to get his money for free.

Mrs. Tan looked embarrassed and didn’t dare to mention it again. Her sister-in-law at home was not a hardworking person. If she came to work and got scolded, she would blame him instead!
It’s a thankless task, so you’d better avoid getting into trouble.

After this episode, everyone worked more efficiently. No one dared to slack off anymore. After all, it would not sound good to be asked to do the work again under the watchful eyes of the public.

Mrs. Tan fried a batch of fish until crispy and started to daydream again.

“Third brother! We can make it for you, so you don’t need grandma’s help.”

Tan Shaoyang looked at her and saw that she was calculating so much that he was about to burst into tears. If she could really be trusted, he would have arranged everything without her even saying anything.

It’s a pity that people’s hearts are separated and they are not grasshoppers on the same rope.

“Second sister-in-law, I paid to learn this skill. We are all family members. If you want to learn, then pay for it!”

Mrs. Tan’s face became stiff, and she asked awkwardly, “Isn’t it grandma’s cooking? We are all family, there is no reason to be on guard against anyone.”

Tan Shaoyang said without changing his expression: “Do you think it’s possible? Otherwise, how can you get the taste of it if you don’t learn it?”

“Let’s stop testing each other, we all have our own families!”

Tan Shaoyang ignored her, but the more he tried to persuade her, the more excited she became. He thought that she would figure it out after some time, but he didn’t want anyone to ruin his market.

While they were busy here, Uncle Tian and Gao Jun started fighting on the other side.

Uncle Tian gritted his teeth, bought some wine, fried some peanuts, and went to have a drink with Gao Jun. While Gao Jun was drunk, he got some information out of him.

Lao Tie gave him some money before letting his daughter take away.

How could I know there would be such twists and turns!
Uncle Tian thought about this and blamed Gao Jun for hiding it from him. He was so angry that he beat Gao Jun. Wasn’t this tantamount to selling his daughter?
No wonder they keep lobbying him!
They said all kinds of good things about the child, saying that if they sent the child abroad he would definitely make money. But in the end, the child was sold instead.

Whether his daughter will be able to come back in the future is still another matter!
Gao Jun was not convinced even after drinking two glasses of wine. He wanted to do whatever he wanted with his daughter. It was he who could not resist his friend’s persuasion. Who could he blame?
“My friend is trying to trick you. Go find my friend. What does it have to do with me? I don’t have your daughter in my hands.”

“How much is this little girl worth? My friend gave me the money and I let you take her away. You didn’t find out clearly, so who can you blame?”

“Don’t get drunk and go crazy here. If you really want to cause trouble, go to your friend’s house. You can catch his parents and scold them. It’s better than throwing a tantrum here.”

They were all drunk and angry, so they beat him violently.

There was a lot of back and forth, and no one was polite to each other. A small matter became a big deal in the end and it was out of control. The villagers almost broke up.

Tan Shaoyang was dragged here to seek justice, mainly because the village chief was not at home and Zhang Yishui could not solve this mess, so he dragged him here.

Tan Shaoyang watched as the two men were beaten to a pulp. Gao Jun was almost drowsy sitting on the chair, but Uncle Tian, ​​who was awake, was extremely angry. If someone hadn’t held him back, he would have gone and beaten someone up!

What can we do?

We can only wait until my friend comes back!
Otherwise, the emperor is far away and even if you want to find someone, you don’t know where to find him!

“Uncle Tian, ​​the matter is a foregone conclusion. It’s useless for you to worry. As long as Lao Tie comes back, it’s always right to catch him and interrogate him.”

“The New Year will come in two months. He has to come back.”

Who told him to be fooled in the first place!
It would be fine if the little girl just did some farm work at home, but she was expecting to make money. Isn’t it obvious that she is being cheated?

Uncle Tian was so angry that he started to cry. “My girl is very hardworking. Is it wrong for me to want to make some money? If you knew the inside story, you wouldn’t let her go out!”

“If he was at home, at least he could still see people. Now there is no news at all. I don’t know where he is. I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.”

Tan Shaoyang could only try to comfort him as much as possible, as long as there was no need to fight. As for the concerns in his heart, there was no way to resolve them for him.

In such a vast sea of ​​people, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you live in the same village, you may not have met some people for a long time!

What’s more, the outside is vast and boundless.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Uncle Tian wanted to take advantage and was expecting his daughter to make money, so he has to bear the consequences. Lao Tie doesn’t look reliable, so who can he blame if he gets cheated?
“Uncle Tian, ​​it’s no use beating up Gao Jun. He didn’t take the person away. If he gets sick, you’ll have to pay for medical treatment.”

“It was wrong for him to conceal the truth, but the responsibility is not his. The person was taken away by his friend, so we still have to find the real culprit.”

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I don’t know where my friend took the person. I can’t find him just because I want to.

Besides, you reap what you sow.

If he hadn’t wanted to take advantage, this wouldn’t have happened.

Uncle Tian looked frustrated. “I shouldn’t have been so greedy for money. My old friend always cheats people. How could I have been fooled?”

“Do you think my daughter can come back?”

“It’s not easy to raise a child with all my hard work. If I can’t see him anymore, won’t all the food I’ve been feeding him for so many years be wasted?”

Tan Shaoyang was helpless, but fortunately he persuaded the person to leave.

Zhang Yishui couldn’t help watching this farce.

After leaving the crowd, he complained, “I thought you were so worried about your daughter! You’re just worried that she won’t come back, wasting years of food, and not getting any betrothal gifts!”

Tan Shaoyang sighed. If he really felt sorry for his friend, he wouldn’t let him take him away.
