Zhao Qin did not go home again, but took a path leading up from the pier, intending to go to Lao Xue's house.

This road used to be used by many people, but since the cement road in the middle was repaired, almost no one walks on it, and the grass on both sides of the road has grown extremely lush.

Fortunately, it was daytime. If Zhao Qin really didn't dare to walk at night, stepping on a snake and getting bitten would be a relief. Even if he didn't step on a snake, stepping on a toad would still be disgusting.

As soon as I turned a corner, I saw a slender figure in a dress, bending down and doing something.

Upon closer inspection, I found that she was actually feeding a stray dog. The woman must have been very concerned at this moment. She kept mumbling thank you and gently stroked the messy hair on the stray dog's back without feeling dirty at all.

The setting sun hit the woman's face, making her whole body glow.

The dog's hearing is much more sensitive than that of humans. Its two drooping ears stood up, and the next moment it raised its teeth in the direction of Zhao Qin, and made a threatening sound in its throat.

Only then did the woman feel that someone was coming. When she turned around and saw that it was Zhao Qin, she actually showed a hint of anger and patted the dog's head twice. The dog turned around and hid in the grass next to it. It was only at this movement that Zhao Qin saw clearly that one of the dog's The leg is injured.

The woman is Lin Yang's wife, the daughter-in-law of the village secretary. Zhao Qin is very curious. If Lao Lin is not having a banquet at home today, why would she come here to feed the wild dogs?

He didn't even know the woman's last name, and he didn't have any thief intentions, so he walked over without stopping for a moment.

When the woman saw him leaving, she relaxed a little.

When he arrived at Lao Xue's house, he called at the door for a long time, but it turned out that Lao Xue's wife opened the door and didn't let him in. She just said that Lao Xue hadn't come back yet and would talk about something tomorrow.

"Auntie, tell Uncle Xue that I will be free tomorrow."

"I know, by the way, Ah Qin, I heard that you used my boat to go out to sea yesterday and pried several thousand kilograms of oysters. Why don't you tell my family about this?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qin frowned slightly and said in a calm tone: "Aunt, Uncle Xue and I have agreed to test the boat for one day, and I have paid the deposit in advance. According to the rules of our village, the gains from the boat trial will of course go to the purchase of the boat. It’s human, besides, I didn’t use a penny from your family for yesterday’s gas bill.”

"Your boat is worth several thousand yuan. You have kept the price of the boat so low. It will be repaid in just a few days."

"Auntie, sea exploration is all about luck. Your family has been at sea for so many years and you know better than me. Who can predict the harvest accurately? I have something else to do. Please tell Uncle Xue when he comes back."

Zhao Qin didn't want to argue with her anymore. Most women in the village were like this. His sister-in-law was already considered a good person, but when she saw others living well, she would inevitably say one or two sarcastic words in private.

This time he took the main road and came to his eldest brother's house. When Zhao Ping asked about it, he only said that Lao Xue was not at home and would go there early tomorrow morning.

When Zhao Qin returned home after dinner in the evening, he washed up and lay down on the bed. From what Old Mrs. Xue said today, he heard something abnormal.

But he thought that Lao Xue would not regret it. After all, they were all from the same village. If word spread, Lao Xue would probably have his back stabbed in the future.

Then I calculated the value of the land in my mind. It was a piece of wasteland, and it was not next to a main road. Naturally, it couldn't be sold on a normal basis.

Otherwise, such a large piece of land, which can be cut into more than 20 foundation rooms, would not be worth hundreds of thousands.

How much should I tell Lao Lin?

Finally, he made up his mind and asked for 20,000 yuan. He would see what Lao Lin said. If the other party didn't agree, he would continue to argue. If it was too high, he would try to pay it in installments over ten years. A little payment per year would be fine.

Having made up his mind, he fell into a deep sleep.

He got up early in the morning and took a look at the system. Today's lucky value was pretty good, with 24 points. He thought about transferring the ownership of the boat in the morning. If the waves were too strong and he couldn't go to sea in the afternoon, he would wait for the low tide to go to the beach.

In the past few days, he has been acting like a dragon, and the aunts in the village have become more enthusiastic about following him, thinking that he can make a fortune quietly.

When I arrived at the village, I met Lao Xing, who was visiting the village committee. There were three five-guarantee households in the village, and he was one of them. When he saw Zhao Qin, he smiled fawningly and said, "Aqin, where are you going?"

"Go to Lao Xue's house, Lao Xing. I'll treat you to a treat in two days. Good wine, good food, and good smoke. Come over then."

"Oh, that's great. One day, if you tell me in advance, I will go over and help you wash the cut. You go ahead and do it. I just said hello to Lao Xue and he is at home."

"Okay. Let's talk when we have time."

After the separation, Zhao Qin came to Lao Xue's house. After knocking on the door, he found that it was Lao Xue's mother-in-law who opened the door again.

"Is Uncle Xue at home?"

"Not here. He didn't come back last night. I don't know where he died."

Zhao Qin raised his eyebrows. If he hadn't met Lao Xing, he would have believed this.

"Damn it, Lao Xing actually dared to lie to me and see if I didn't break his legs. He said he saw Uncle Xue just now. Could it be that he saw a ghost."

After hearing what he said, the woman's expression changed. After a while, she heard someone say from inside: "It's Ah Qin here, come in and sit down."

"Uncle Xue, what's going on with you?"

"I came back late last night. Your aunt probably wanted me to sleep a little longer for fear of being disturbed."

Zhao Qin didn't care whether what he said was true or not, and wanted to get the matter done as soon as possible, "Uncle Xue, do you think it's okay for us to go to town to go through the formalities today? If you're still tired, I'll call Tu Min's car. Don’t worry, the round trip expenses will be taken care of by me.

If you really want to catch up on some sleep, how about I pay you the money first and you write me a note. You can transfer the ownership in a few days. I'll use it first. "

"We won't sell that boat." Old Xue's wife said this quickly.

Zhao Qin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lao Xue, wanting to see what he said.

"Hey, Ah Qin, that boat is too low at 13,000 yuan. I think it's too cheap so I won't sell it. As for setting the price..."

"What's the deposit? He used our boat to collect thousands of kilograms of oysters. The deposit is considered to be distributed to our family. In the past, the renter's boat was split 50-50, which is not right."

Zhao Qin laughed angrily at the woman's words. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone so shameless, even worse than Pang Yuxiu.

"Uncle Xue, you are my elder, so I call you uncle. As an elder, you should act like an elder, otherwise the younger generations will not be able to respect you.

You received my deposit, and even though we didn't finalize the contract, the old men in our village spit out everything they say, so it's a bit unethical for you to play like this. "

"Aqin, you also said that we didn't finalize the contract, so this matter doesn't count. I can sell the boat to whoever I want."

"Oh, it seems someone has offered a higher price, right?"

"No..." Lao Xue hated himself for letting it slip, but his wife immediately responded: "So what, I'm more generous than you. You want the boat, right? The down payment doesn't count. If you pay another 20,000, we'll still sell to you."

Zhao Qin looked at Old Xue for a while and said: "Old Xue, my two years in the village were not in vain. If you want to be known as a person who has not kept his word, I really have no way to deal with the two thousand Give me back the money and I'll leave now."

"Why should I withdraw? I used my boat to collect it..."

Zhao Qin directly interrupted the woman's words, stood up and looked at Lao Xue: "Retreat or not?"
