Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1046: The One Who Sees Through

"What's wrong? What happened? Why did Ding Xiaoxiang come to see you today?"

Ding Lihua watched Ding Xiaoxiang leave, and immediately turned around and asked Zhou Yu who was standing next to him.

Zhou Yu recounted the story of Ma Baozhu in detail.

"Is it such a big deal?"

"Ding Xiaoxiang really helped a lot this time!"

Ding Lihua didn't expect that this would be Ding Dawen's lifelong event. After thinking about it carefully, he knew the key.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment. She knew that Ding Xiaoxiang must have helped a lot, but what Ding Lihua said seemed to reveal something she had not thought of.

"Don't you just think that Ding Xiaoxiang or Zhao Dahai are people who keep their word or have influence in our town, so if they come forward to do this, there is a great chance of success?"

Ding Lihua knew Zhou Yu very well, and he must have been thinking about something like this.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yu nodded. He was indeed thinking about this, but Ding Lihua didn't say for sure. There was really something he hadn't thought of.

"How can this matter be so simple?"

"Ma Baozhu and Ding Dawen have a good relationship, but why can't they succeed?"

"The key here is that Ding Dawen has not had a stable job in the past few years."

"Ding Xiaoxiang's coming forward is equivalent to guaranteeing that Ding Dawen will have a job in the future."

"Otherwise, do you think Ma Baozhu's family would agree to this?"

"I tell you clearly, even if someone of a higher generation, someone who keeps his word in politics, were to do this, he would not be able to do it."

"Only Zhao Dahai or Ding Xiaoxiang can accomplish this."

"Why?"

"It's not just that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang have plenty of money now. What's more important is that Zhao Dahai needs someone to look after his fishing boat when he goes out to sea, or to build this building in the town."

"It definitely takes work to find a stable job no matter how difficult it is."

“This is the crux of the matter!”

Ding Lihua has been doing business for many years and has a more unique vision. After thinking about it, he knew what was going on. The key is not the reputation of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang in the town or whether Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are rich now. The key is that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang can really find a stable job for Ding Dawen.

"Don't mention Ding Dawen, even if he gets the pearl, he can work with Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Or maybe Ma Baozhu wants to start his own business in the future, or wants to get a store from Ding Xiaoxiang. That's just a matter of Ding Xiaoxiang nodding her head."

Ding Lihua saw this matter clearly.

"what?"

"Is that so? That won't do. I need to talk to Ding Xiaoxiang about this!"

Zhou Yu didn't expect things to be so complicated. What Ding Lihua said was right. This must be the case. It was not as simple as he thought. It was just that Ding Xiaoxiang was influential in this town and kept her word.

When Ding Xiaoxiang showed up, she had to ensure that Ding Dawen would have food to eat for the rest of his life. Another thing was that if Ma Baozhu really married him, she would even have to take care of Ma Baozhu.

This is no small matter.

"What do you do?"

"So startled!"

"When Ding Xiaoxiang talked to you just now, it didn't seem like you were able to think this matter through clearly!"

"What's the point of doing this now?"

Ding Lihua grabbed Zhou Yu.

"Hey!"

"Didn't I just not figure this out?"

"Now that I've thought it through, we have to stop her. We can't let Ding Xiaoxiang do this. Let's find another way."

Zhou Yu waved his hands as he spoke, then turned around and tried to walk out again.

"You are really smart all your life, but confused for a moment."

"Ding Xiaoxiang has been very smart since she was young. Isn't it possible that she doesn't know the tricks here?"

"I came here today to talk to you about this, and I have already made up my mind to do this!"

"First, they are relatives, and this is definitely something that needs help. Second, Ding Dawen is now following Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to do things no matter what."

"According to the traditional practice of our fishing village, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang must take care of Ding Dawen's affairs."

"It's just that no one has paid much attention to it in the past twenty or thirty years. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are both particular people, so they must do it according to tradition."

"Although Ding Xiaoxiang is Ding Dawen's cousin, it is only natural for her to do this."

"Ding Xiaoxiang and Dahai now have the ability to go fishing or to accommodate people when the town's building is completed."

Ding Lihua reached out again to stop Zhou Yu and asked her to sit down on the sofa.

"Once Ma Baozhu marries into the family, if she wants to do something, like open a shop in that building, wouldn't that be against the rules? Once this is done, all those gossip girls will come looking for trouble, and Xiaoxiang won't be able to handle it."

Zhou Yu thought about it and realized that what Ding Lihua said was correct. First, Ding Lihua and Ding Chongshan were brothers. Second, Ding Dawen was now working with Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. Regardless of relatives or tradition, there was no problem for Ding Xiaoxiang to be in charge of this matter or to come forward to do this. However, Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai had no problem solving Ding Dawen's job, but once Ma Baozhu married into the family and wanted to do business or get a shop or something, it would be very difficult for Ding Xiaoxiang to deal with it.

This is the most troublesome thing!
In places like villages and towns, relatives, including some distant relatives, are the most difficult to handle. Once such a door is opened, many people will come to look for Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Humph!"

"Who can say anything?"

"One is that my eldest brother and I are brothers, and the other is that this is Ma Baozhu marrying into the family."

"How can Ding Xiaoxiang prove this? Do the other people who want to take the store have connections comparable to this or matters as big as this?"

"Among my relatives, who is so closely related to Ding Xiaoxiang? Who else is involved in such a big event as marrying a wife?"

"If you can't produce these two things, it's useless for anyone to find Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"Zhao Dahai just has to take care of the sons of Second Grandfather Zhao Shi's family."

"Don't worry about the rest!"

Ding Lihua was not worried about this at all.

One is the relationship between him and Ding Chongshan, and the other is that this is Ding Dawen marrying a wife. "You can rest assured!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang must have figured it out long ago. There's no need for us to get involved in this matter."

"We just need to remember this matter clearly in our hearts!"

"It's basically unlikely that Ma Baozhu would think of using the store as a business!"

"If he really has such a talent, how is it possible that he has been working outside for the past few years?"

Ding Lihua waved his hand. Ma Baozhu must have the same personality as Ding Dawen, which is why she has been working outside. Especially for someone who wants to start her own business and make money, she would definitely look down on someone like Ding Dawen.

Zhou Yu thought about it and realized that this was really the case.

Ma Baozhu’s personality must be not much different from Ding Dawen’s, which is why they are so compatible.

"It's a good thing for a couple to have almost the same personalities when living together."

"If this is a person who wants to do business and make money, even if she marries Ding Dawen, her life might not be easy."

Zhou Yu suddenly felt relieved.

As a parent, especially as a couple with Ding Lihua for so many years, I know very well that the most important thing for two people to get along is that their personalities must be compatible.

"If this thing can really come true and Ma Baozhu can marry into the family, I think one of the options is to follow Ding Xiaoxiang and do something."

"Or I could go on a fishing boat with Ding Dawen."

"Hasn't there already been a cook hired? If Ma Baozhu is really willing, she can just go on the fishing boat and cook."

Ding Lihua knew that Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely need someone to work for her next. If Ma Baozhu had been working outside in the past few years, it went without saying that she was diligent and would definitely have a job.

Zhou Yu kept nodding. Ding Lihua's words were very clear, and he didn't need to pay attention to this matter.

"I've been worried about this matter, but now it seems there's really no need to worry about it!"

Zhou Yu had always been worried about Ding Dawen's marriage, but she didn't expect that it would be solved so quickly. With Ding Xiaoxiang around, she didn't need to worry about it. The key point was that now it seemed that this matter could be almost 100% solved.

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are both powerful people."

"He can make money and handle things with intelligence and tact."

"Let's not talk about us. Even if it's the other people, such as Liu Gang, Liu Lei, or Shi Guangming, which one of them didn't get some benefits?"

"Not to mention people like Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou. No matter if they go fishing on their own or work for others, they can't make the money they do now!"

Ding Lihua took a sip of tea and lit a cigarette.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are really amazing now.

Liu Gang, Liu Lei, Shi Jiehua, Shi Zhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou, and others who have very close relationships are all thriving.

"correct!"

"Speaking of this, how are Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei getting along with each other?"

Ding Lihua thought of what happened to Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei. He had been busy these days and had not paid attention to the business in the store.

"Didn't Shi Zhongwei come back from the sea last time? The two of them met a few times and had a meal. Then Shi Zhongwei will go out to sea again!"

"It's a little short of time to clarify, but both of them are still young. Didn't we talk about this last time? Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai haven't gotten married yet, so the others don't need to rush."

As Zhou Yu spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

The relationship between Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei can be said to be a matchmaking effort by Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

Ding Xiaoxiang is now in charge of the affairs between Ding Dawen and Ma Baozhu.

There seems to be nothing wrong with these two things.

Having lived in the village and town all his life, he knows very well how important these relationships are.

Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei did spend less time together, but that was really no problem.

Shi Zhongwei must go out to sea to make money.

It is impossible to hang around at home all the time. On the contrary, if I hang around at home all the time and accompany Ding Ailian all day, I have to think carefully about this marriage.

"correct!"

"What does Ding Ailian plan to do in the future?"

Zhou Yu was a little worried about this. Ding Ailian was not good at studying either. Like Ding Dawen, she had been working in the county town for the past two years. The difference was that Ding Ailian was eloquent, hardworking, and had a very stable job.

After getting to know Shi Zhongwei, I returned to the town and found a job so that I could spend more time with Shi Zhongwei, but it was impossible not to work.

"I say, as an old lady, do you have to worry about everything?"

"You must be concerned about Ding Dawen's affairs or Ding Xiaowen's affairs."

"Why don't you worry about Ding Ailian's affairs?"

"Once Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei's relationship is established, Ding Ailian will have to take care of Shi Zhongwei's family affairs."

"Isn't that busy enough?"

"Besides, if Ding Ailian wants to find something to do, and wants to work with Ding Xiaoxiang or Zhao Dahai, it's Shi Guangming, Shi Jiehua, or Shi Zhongwei who will ask for it, so it's not our turn."

Ding Lihua was a little amused.

As a mother, Zhou Yu has a lot to worry about.

We must take care of Ding Dawen and Ding Xiaowen’s affairs, but there is really no need to take care of Ding Ailian’s affairs.

One is that Shi Zhongwei has a lot of things to do at home. Not to mention other things, he has to be busy with the people who book fishing spots and go out to sea to fish, and the matters of selling fish when the sea fishing boats come back have to be taken care of by Ding Ailian.

Another reason is that Shi Zhongwei is still young and has not started to be a housekeeper, so Ding Ailian may not need him at the beginning. If she needs to find some work outside to do the housekeeping work, it must be Shi Zhongwei or Shi Jiehua who asks for it, not herself or Zhou Yu.

"What if I worry a little more?"

"Even if Ding Ailian and Shi Zhongwei are married, they definitely have no right to take care of family matters!"

“A lot of it is just a little help!”

"It takes eight or ten years before you can start to manage your family."

"I must work outside during this time!"

"If you work with Ding Xiaoxiang, you can learn a lot. I really hope Ding Ailian can work with Ding Xiaoxiang for two years."

Zhou Yu was not joking. Ding Xiaoxiang was very good at business. Ding Ailian could really learn a lot from working with Ding Xiaoxiang for two years. In the future, whether she was the housekeeper or found something else to do, she would be able to do it easily.
