âIt seems like our familyâs fish are being caught by others,â said Ji Qingyan.
âLetâs go take a look.â
The two of them got out of the car and walked toward the fish pond.
Upon seeing her approach, the men who were fishing all turned around.
The girls from the city were indeed different. They were really beautiful!
Lin Yi walked up to the middle-aged man and said with a smile, âDid you get permission to fish here?â
The middle-aged man held a cigarette in his mouth. âAre you interested? Itâs 200 yuan a day. You can fish here as you please.â
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan exchanged glances.
He didnât even put the money into his pocket. Who was he giving it to?
âWho are you giving the money to?â
The middle-aged man pointed diagonally in front of him. âDo you see the domineering people over there? The person in charge is sitting inside.â
Lin Yi looked up and saw an old white Land Rover parked fifty meters ahead. All four doors were open, making it look out of place compared with the other cars.
âLetâs go and take a look.â
Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan over to Land Rover. He realized that there were three men playing the card game Fight the Landlord in the car.
Moreover, they were not old.
One of them was in his thirties, and the other two were in their early twenties.
When they saw Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan, they stopped what they were doing.
âDude, do you want to fish? Itâs 200 a day.â
The older man said.
âIâm not fishing. I just want to ask, does this place belong to you guys? Why are you charging to fish here?â
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people changed. These people did not look like they were here to fish at all.
âDude, what do you mean?â
âIâm just asking. I donât mean anything.â
âOf course itâs our place. If itâs not, would we dare to charge the people here?â
âYouâre spouting nonsense. This fish pond clearly belongs to our family,â Ji Qingyan retorted. âWhat right do you have to charge us?â
âYour family?â
The expression of the man in the lead did not look good.
âAre you the people who bought the Zhao familyâs house?â
âThatâs right.â Lin Yi said.
âTheir house, the greenhouse, and this fish pond are all mine. You donât have my permission, yet youâre charging people for fishing here. Who asked you to do this?â
âBro, calm down.â The leader said.
âWeâre just helping someone else keep an eye on things here. Even if you try to reason with us, we wonât be able to do anything.â
âAlright, I wonât make things difficult for you. Call the manager over. Iâll talk to him personally.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Wait a moment. Iâll call my brother now.â
The lead man took out his phone and said, âBrother Qiang, the person who bought Old Zhaoâs house is here. He said that this fish pond belongs to him and doesnât want us to set up our operations here. Hurry up and deal with it.â
âYes, yes, yes. Weâre here. Youâll see us when you get here.â
After giving instructions, the man in the lead hung up.
Ten minutes later, a Land Rover drove over from afar and four people alighted.
The man in the lead was in his forties. He had a bag on his arm and was slightly chubby. There were three people behind him. They walked towards Lin Yi and extended their hands.
âHello, my name is Yu Deqiang. I own the largest seed distribution office in town.â One shouldnât slap a smiling person. Lin Yi reached out symbolically and said. âWhatâs going on? Youâre occupying my pond and charging people to use it. I donât think I gave you the authorization to do this.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âActually, Iâve been looking for you to discuss fish this with you, but you hadnât shown up yet. I had no choice but to do this.â
âWhat do you want to discuss with me?â
âIâve taken a fancy to your fish pond. How much did you buy it for? Iâll give you tens of thousands more than you paid for it. Sell it to me.â
âYouâre being too wishful.â Lin Yi said.
âItâs impossible for me to sell it. Besides, youâd better give me an explanation for this.â
âDonât beat this matter to death. Letâs discuss it properly.â Yu Deqiang said.
âIf you donât want to sell the house and land, you can sell this fish pond to me. Iâve been eyeing it for a long time.â
âAre you f*cking crazy? Donât you understand what Iâm saying?â Lin Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly scolded.
âIâm f*cking asking you how to resolve this. Who says Iâm going to sell it?â
Yu Deqiang was stunned by the scolding. A lackey behind him walked out and pointed at Lin Yiâs nose.
âBe more polite with your words! Heâs showing you enough respect, isnât he?â
Piak!
Lin Yi raised his hand and slapped the underlingâs face.
âWho the f*ck are you talking to?â Seeing his subordinates beaten to the ground, Yu Deqiang looked at Lin Yi cautiously. He felt that this man was not easy to deal with. âSince itâs your territory, I wonât fight you for it. Iâll get them to pack up tomorrow,â Yu Deqiang said.
...
âOh, is that it?â
âWhat else do you want?â
âAfter fishing here for so many days and catching all the fish in the fish pond, you want to leave just like that?â
âBrother, donât go too far. Iâve been in Four Corner Town for so many years, and there arenât many people who dare to shout in front of me. Iâve already given you enough face by doing this today. Letâs each take a step back. Thereâs no need to make things unpleasant.â Lin Yi glanced at the fish pond. âI wonât argue with you anymore. Put in a hundred thousand yuan worth of fish eggs and weâll call it even.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I didnât even earn 100,000 yuanâ¦â Whoosh!
Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked Yu Deqiang.
âWatch your words. Give me back my moneyâs worth you f*cking dick.â
Ji Qingyan held her forehead helplessly. When was Lin Yi going to change his bad habit of cursing?
If she had a child in the future, wouldnât he lead him astray?
âDonât be so f*cking shameless. Beat him up!â
Yu Deqiang called out to the others and rushed over.
...
However, it didnât end well either. Lin Yi beat them all down. âBrother, donât do it.â Yu Deqiang said.
âI admit defeat today. Iâll give you 100,000 yuan for the fish eggs.â âThatâs more like it.â
âGet rid of these people. If I see anyone coming here to fish again, Iâll look for you.â
âIâll kick them out right now.â Lin Yi didnât care about what happened after that.
He would be back in a few days. If there were any more problems, he could still look for them.
After leaving the fish pond, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan went to the greenhouse to take a look around.
It was about the size of two basketball courts, and they felt that it was just right. With Lin Yiâs physical fitness, he could handle it by himself. Once he caught He Yuanyuan, things would be even easier.
At this time, He Yuanyuan never would have thought that the blame would fall on her when she had done nothing wrong. After investigating the situation here, the two of them drove back.
âWhat do you think we should plant in that greenhouse?â Ji Qingyan asked. âLetâs plant some fruits,â Lin Yi said, âItâs healthier to grow them yourself. Itâs better than buying them outside.â
âThat sounds like a pretty good plan.â Ring ring ring!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was Guo Ningyue. âBrother, are you busy?â
