Chapter 343: Entering the Village to Exchange Seafood
Ruan Shaolin, who was standing by, heard his second brother say this, and naturally stepped forward and took the young man's hand and held it with his own hand. "Yes, big brother, judging from your appearance, you should be able to fish. Do you have any seafood you'd like to exchange at home?" The moment Ruan Shaolin caught him, he felt his unnaturalness.
"What are you doing? No, no, there's nothing in my house and there's nothing in the village. You'd better leave our village immediately!" The young man got angry when he was grabbed by Ruan Shaolin. Not only did he shake off Ruan Shaolin's hand with great force, he also shouted at them to leave.
A few villagers passing by in the distance heard him suddenly speak loudly. They thought the man was looking for trouble, so they ran up to them and immediately pulled the young man to their side, separating him from Ruan Shaoke and Ruan Shaolin. "A Qiang, what happened? Who are they?" The older villager looked at them and asked the young man behind him.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, we didn't do anything! We two brothers just wanted to find someone in the village to exchange some seafood for a snack, but this comrade suddenly spoke so loudly for some reason, saying that there was no seafood in the village and asked us to leave quickly. Then, you came over. Really, we didn't do anything to this comrade. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." When Ruan Shaolin saw someone coming, he explained what happened just now.
While he was explaining, Ruan Shaoke looked around the village and saw that because of their situation, more people were coming here, including the target person.
After discovering the people, Ruan Shaoke simply pulled back Ruan Shaolin who was still explaining to them and said, "Well, comrade, you see, this is all a misunderstanding. We brothers just want to exchange some seafood. Can you recommend which family in the village has fresh seafood? We will leave after we exchange it. It's getting late now and everyone needs to eat. We can't affect everyone because of our presence." Ruan Shaoke said, and did not forget to look at the crowd that had already come over.
With Ruan Shaoke's reminder, Ruan Shaolin also found the target of this mission in the crowd.
"Yes, does anyone have fresh seafood? We two brothers just want to exchange some seafood for a snack, nothing else, we will leave after the exchange. Hey, uncle, do you have any?"
Ruan Shaolin pointed at the person in the crowd seemingly casually, but he pointed accurately.
"Yes, Uncle Ya, didn't your son Aqiang just come back with a big net this morning? It's just right to exchange with them." The person standing next to him also agreed after seeing the person Ruan Shaolin pointed at. He saw that his son Aqiang came back with a big bucket of fish and shrimp in the morning. At that time, he wanted Aqiang to give him some, but this person was too stingy and refused to give. Now that he heard someone was coming to exchange with them, he wanted to say it directly. Humph, if they don't give it to him, forget it. When they exchange, he will go to hold the meeting, and then they will suffer.
When the others heard him say this, they also thought it was feasible, but they thought differently from him. Uncle Ya's family lived in poverty and had been relying on these fish and shrimps for a living all year round. Now Aqiang was in his twenties and his family was too poor. He didn't even have a wife yet. If these seafood could be exchanged for some money, their life would be a little better. So, everyone talked at once and advised them to exchange with the Ruan brothers.
At this time, Ruan Shaoke and Ruan Shaolin said nothing, but just listened quietly to the villagers' advice. At the same time, they also looked around, wanting to see if there was anyone who would stand up and stand on the side of this dumb uncle and the others, asking them to find another family to exchange, or take the lead in asking them to leave quickly.
Hearing the villagers' constant persuasion, he put Uncle Ya and his son in a difficult position, unable to advance or retreat. In the end, he had no choice. Everyone in the village knew about their family's situation. Now that he said he didn't need it, no one would believe him. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have pretended that they were so poor.
Finally, he could only agree to take them home to exchange. On the way to his house, the man who had just spoken up did not leave, but followed them home. He did not think it was enough for him to see it, and he also called on others to follow him. He thought that if he wanted to report his family for speculation, he must have witnesses, and it was not enough for him to see it himself.
At this time, it was almost time for dinner. Some people thought that the dinner was ready at home, so they didn't go with them. However, some people who liked to watch the fun didn't care and went directly with them.
When he arrived at their house, Aqiang just wanted to end it all quickly because he had already seen something in his father's eyes.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to bring out the seafood he caught in the morning, and then put the good, big, and alive ones in another bucket for them, and then placed it in front of them. "These are all we have. The seafood here is not valuable. You can give as much as you like."
This time, Ruan Shaolin didn't make trouble. He took out a dollar and a food coupon from his pocket and handed them to Aqiang. "Is this enough?"
Seeing that they gave him the money directly, A Qiang's speculation was reduced a little. After taking the money, he said "Enough", and then said to the villagers who were watching the fun, "It's getting late, uncles, aunts, go back to cook and eat!" His words seemed to be directed at the villagers, but in fact they were directed at Ruan Shaolin and his brothers.
They understood the meaning of his words and did not stay long, as the work was done, they picked up the buckets and went out, heading towards the outside of the village.
Seeing that there was no more excitement, the villagers dispersed and went home. The man who still wanted to report them also went home happily. He wanted to eat first and then go to the public security bureau to report.
Seeing that everyone had left, Uncle Ya asked Aqiang to pack up quickly. They couldn't stay here anymore and had to leave immediately.
"Dad, I think they are really here to exchange seafood. How about we wait a little longer?" When Ruan Shaolin and the others left just now, he had been paying attention to them. Seeing that they were really carrying seafood out of the village, he was wondering if his father's guess was wrong.
"We can't wait any longer. Even if they're not here to arrest us, such a long time has passed and no one has come back. They must have already entered. For our own safety, we have to leave now no matter what."
After that, Uncle Ya didn't explain too much to Aqiang, and packed the treasures he had collected over the years into boxes. Seeing this, Aqiang could only quickly pack his clothes and the money he had earned in the past few years, and then followed his father.
