Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Chen Dahai sat in his chair, taking puffs of his cigarette without saying a word.

After a long while, he threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and extinguished it with a complicated expression, and slowly spoke.

"Xiao Yang, you've really changed."

"I promise you, when are we going?"

Yang Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had agreed and stood up.

"Meet at 1:00 AM in the courtyard of our village's brigade."

Chen Dahai opened the Daqianmen cigarette case, took out a cigarette and started smoking.

"Xiao Yang, thank you for the cigarette."

"Don't mention it, just do your job well."

Yang Bai left the house and closed the door behind him. Soon it was one o'clock.

In the brigade's courtyard.

Skilled fishermen squatted on the ground, doing nothing.

Chen Dahai leaned against the wall and saw Yang Bai riding over on a tricycle. He straightened up and went to greet him.

Other fishermen also joined in.

Yang Bai got out of the car and counted the heads; the number matched the number on the list.

"Who among you chose to split the profits?"

The young fishermen raised their hands, making up half of the crowd.

They had the physical strength and ability, and were convinced that they could catch more fish in the waters designated by Yang Bai.

The rest are mostly law-abiding middle-aged people.

They felt content with simply earning a wage that was more than what they could make in the village.

"If you choose the revenue-sharing option, there will be more contracts to sign later, and you'll know how to read the map, right?"

Yang Bai asked.

These fishermen don't know many words, but they can't read sea maps or tell directions, so it's no different from waiting to die.

They all knew the basics and nodded in agreement.

"I will send everyone a map of the sea area later, just follow the map."

"Those with bicycles can ride together, and those without bicycles can borrow horse-drawn carriages or donkey carts."

Yang Bai rode the tricycle, and Chen Dahai sat on the back seat.

Another person got on the back of the truck.

The others mostly traveled by donkey cart or horse-drawn carriage, rushing to the fishing port.

Fishing port.

It was midday, and the fishermen who hadn't gone out to sea would usually stay in their cabins and take a nap after lunch.

Yang Jun and Liu Dade, who had come early to prepare the bait, disembarked.

I saw several bicycles parked in the distance.

A dozen or so men, led by Jiang Xinmin, carrying sticks, walked toward Yang Bai's boat.

Yang Jun pointed at that group of people, his eyelids twitching.

"Old Liu, what are they doing here?"

Liu Dade sensed something was wrong.

"I suspect they're here to cause trouble. Maybe we should run away."

Yang Jun shook his head decisively.

"Old Liu, no, you can't go now. There's a sonar and all sorts of valuables on the ship. If they get damaged, we won't be able to go out to sea for days, and Brother Yang will suffer a huge loss."

Even if these people are imprisoned afterward, they will still have to bear all the losses and work stoppages themselves if they can't pay the money.

And we need to compete for the sardine order in a couple of days; if the boat breaks down, the order will be canceled immediately.

Looking at the steel ship, Liu Dade understood these principles perfectly well.

But life is more important than money. If Xiao Yang loses the order, it won't be so easy for him to encounter such good fortune again.

"Damn it, you're not so confused when it comes to the crucial moment. I'll stay here too."

He picked up two wooden sticks from the side and handed one to Yang Jun.

Jiang Xinmin shouted, holding the small knife in his hand.

"Liu Dade, Yang Jun! Bring out that son of a bitch Yang Bai! I'm going to cripple his hands!"

He dared to push Yang Bai into such a desperate situation; he wanted to grind Yang Bai's bones to ashes every day!

Today he directly called on his gang members, determined to cripple him even if it meant death, ensuring he wouldn't catch a single fish!

Hearing the commotion outside, all the fishermen resting on the boat came out to see what was going on.

"What happened? Jiang Xinmin brought his men to ambush Yang Bai?"

"I'd heard he used to hang out with gangsters, and it seems to be true today."

"Is Yang Bai really doomed?"

"Let's not interfere, let's just watch them fight like dogs."

......

"Damn it, you shameless bastard, you brought this on yourself and now you're blaming it on Xiao Yang!"

Liu Dade was disgusted by his rogue logic, and from the very beginning he targeted Yang Bai in various ways.

In the end, if he hadn't kept the matter of the dead red spots a secret, even if he had lost, he probably could still have been fishing peacefully in the sea.

Now he's gotten himself killed, and he's even bringing people to cripple Yang Bai.

"You brought this on yourself?" Jiang Xinmin was furious. "If Yang Bai hadn't reported me, this wouldn't have happened!"

Liu Dade sneered.

"You hid the fish first."

Jiang Xinmin retorted.

"You're the ones who reported me!"

"You're hiding fish."

"You should report it!"

......

The two argued for several rounds.

Jiang Xinmin's henchman reminded him, "Brother Jiang, aren't we here to cripple Yang Bai? Why are we arguing with them?"

Jiang Xinmin was stunned, his face turned even redder with anger, redder than the bottom of a monkey on Mount Emei.

"You almost tricked me! I'll definitely get my revenge today!"

"Yang Bai, get out here! Stop hiding in the boat like a woman!"

"Have you got two lackeys protecting you? Have some shame!"

Yang Jun stood on the ground with a stick in his hand, like a door god, his eyes wide open and his voice booming.

"Brother Yang isn't here. If you dare touch the boat, I'll take you down one by one!"

"Come on! I'll show you guys what's what."

"Jiang Xinmin, you who was born of a mother but raised without one, I curse your children to be born without an anus!"

Liu Dade coughed a few times, but managed to get through it with the stick in his hand.

"Count me in! If you want to get on the ship and smash things, you'll have to step over me first!"

Jiang Xinmin was so angry he laughed.

"You're asking for it, brothers, get them!"

His men charged forward one by one.

Yang Jun is 1.9 meters tall, and they look like little brothers in front of him.

He grabbed a wooden stick and swung it at the nearest person.

Liu Dade followed behind, adding more sticks, and soon a fight broke out.

But two fists can't fight four hands.

The two quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

Jiang Xinmin looked smug. "So you've all been going against me. Looks like that bastard Yang Bai really isn't here."

"Who said I'm not here?!"

Yang Bai rode a tricycle, followed by more than a dozen people.

He slammed on the brakes, his fist hardening instantly.

They dared to target Xiao Jun and Lao Liu, and even brazenly put a dozen men against two of them.

Do you really think he's an easy target?

He picked up a brick and addressed the people behind him.

"Today, besides fishing, if I punch them, I'll give them ten dollars!"

The villagers' eyes lit up when they heard this: ten yuan for one punch, a hundred yuan for ten punches, and even if they only threw five punches, they could still earn a month's wages.

This is a good thing!

They clenched their fists, their eyes fixed on Jiang Xinmin and his men with frenzied stares.

Jiang Xinmin and his group of henchmen felt uneasy under his gaze.

They retreated shakily, some even running away in terror.

Once someone starts running, the group collapses at the first sign of trouble.

Yang Bai's lips curled into a slight smile. "This isn't a place you can come and go as you please! Get him!"

The people of Haiba Village immediately gave chase; in their eyes, these were walking coins.

Who would turn down money? They quickly chased after them, and beat up whoever they caught.
