He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Bayi looked at him sympathetically and sighed.

"Silly child, I already hinted to you that I didn't want to hurt you, but you insisted on making me hurt you, so I had no choice."

"What do you all think?"

The fishermen around couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Ba Yi is absolutely right, hahaha!!"

Chen Dagui felt dizzy and fell onto the deck with a thud.

Niu Dazhuang muttered, "How come you're so capable now that we've separated? One minute you're catching abalone, the next you're catching mackerel."

Niu Bayi ignored them and looked at Lao Wu.

"Boss Wu, as you just said, let's take the fish out now, sort them by size, and see how many pounds each weighs."

Old Wu quickly nodded and said okay, and immediately went to drive the small truck over, and even recruited two fishermen on the spot.

Give each person 5 yuan to help them with their work.

Soon, the fish were taken out of the fish hold, put into a large plastic bucket, and then weighed.

The fish hold contained mackerel weighing over ten pounds, as well as four hundred and ninety pounds.

Of these, 250 jin refers to those weighing less than 5 jin.

Two hundred and forty jin means more than five jin.

For animals weighing less than five jin, we buy them for 4 yuan per jin, which is a total of 1000 yuan.

For those weighing over five jin, I'll buy them for 5 yuan per jin, which is 1200 yuan.

There weren't many mackerel weighing over ten kilograms, only five, but each one cost 100 yuan.

So, five items would cost 500 yuan.

In total, it amounted to 2700 yuan.

The abalone I received yesterday was only a little over 300 yuan less.

In comparison, Chen Dagui's pitiful 380 jin of ribbonfish only sold for 210 yuan.

It's nothing!

Niu Bayi casually picked out two mackerel weighing over ten kilograms each and compared them.

Old Wu was so excited he almost laughed his teeth out.

He immediately pulled out a large wad of banknotes and carefully counted them for Niu Bayi.

"Uncle Niu, you're really amazing! Here's a total of 2700 yuan. Count it and keep it safe."

Niu Bayi casually stuffed it into his pocket.

"No need to count, I trust Boss Wu completely."

Then, he turned to look at Chen Dagui, who was still slumped to one side, and raised his chin.

"You lost. Take out your 210 yuan, kowtow three more times, and go to the embankment to kowtow until your forehead bursts!"

Chen Dagui struggled to get up, staring intently at Niu Bayi, his eyes bloodshot.

"Niu Bayi, are you even human? You just made another 2700 yuan, and you... you're still after my 210 yuan? Don't be so greedy. Don't go too far. God is watching!"

As he spoke, he quickly turned and jumped onto the embankment, looking disheveled as he headed home.

It's obvious they're trying to renege on their debt.

Niu Dazhuang followed silently.

Niu Bayi immediately jumped onto the long embankment and blocked their way.

He said coldly, "Is this about money? No! It's about fairness! Chen Dagui, you just asked me if I was a man, now it's my turn to ask you, but I think you not only don't want to be a man, you don't even want to be a human being anymore."

"Don't you understand the principle of accepting the consequences of a bet?"

Chen Agui clenched his fists tightly, his face full of embarrassment.

Niu Dazhuang stared at Niu Bayi with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You little brat, that's enough! I'm a gambler, so what? You think you can just steal my money and force Da Gui to kneel down and kowtow to you?"

Niu Bayi said calmly, "Everyone just testified. If you lose and are not satisfied, what will everyone think?"

Niu Dazhuang turned his head to look around and shouted loudly.

"What did you just hear? What testimony did you give? Tell me, whoever is not afraid of offending me, Niu Dazhuang, just say it!"

The group of fishermen looked at each other in bewilderment.

This Niu Dazhuang is not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing that none of the fishermen uttered a word, Chen Dagui became smug again.

"Niu Bayi, what testimony did they give? What were they doing just now? I didn't bet with you. Who bet with you? Everyone, tell me, who bet with Niu Bayi? There was no such thing, right?"

Niu Ba's shamelessness made him laugh in anger.

"No bet, right?"

"We didn't make a bet!"

Chen Dagui became even more smug.

"If you made the bet, and there were witnesses around you, would you be keeping quiet now?"

"Niu Bayi, don't think you can get all high and mighty just because you've made some money. If you're so capable, send some people out to testify for you!"

Niu Dazhuang glared fiercely at his surroundings, looking like he would beat anyone who dared to testify to death.

The group of fishermen didn't want to cause any trouble and remained silent.

Suddenly, Niu Bayi raised his voice and said, "Everyone, there are two sayings that are well said: one is 'Heaven is watching what people do,' and the other is 'Justice resides in the hearts of the people!' Today, I, Niu Bayi, am not here for money, but to vent my anger and for justice!"

"Chen Dagui's 210 yuan is going to be lost to me. As long as five people come forward to testify for me, I will get the money and then divide it among them. Five people will split the 210 yuan, and each person will get more than 40 yuan."

Immediately, the fishermen's eyes lit up.

Just by being a witness here, you can earn more than forty dollars. What a bargain!

Although Niu Dazhuang was fierce, most fishermen didn't take him seriously.

There's no real conflict of interest, so it's better to avoid trouble.

But there's profit to be made now.

Immediately, a fisherman raised his hand high.

"I! I testify! You did make a bet just now. Whoever lost had to give all the money they earned from selling their fish to the other person, and also kneel down and kowtow three times!"

"Chen Dagui lost, so your 210 yuan belongs to Bayi, and you have to kneel down and kowtow to him!"

There's a first person setting an example now.

The second, the third fishermen...

They all raised their hands and strode out, saying they were willing to testify.

Suddenly, five fishermen stepped out, making Niu Dazhuang and Chen Dagui so angry that their mouths and eyes twisted in disbelief.

Just as Niu Dazhuang was about to speak fiercely, Niu Bayi once again unleashed a torrent of words.

"Next, who else is willing to testify? I'll give each of them 10 yuan!"

Niu Bayi was indeed clever. Since there were already five fishermen to testify, and others could also testify, each person could get 10 yuan, which was quite good.

As a result, fishermen kept raising their hands.

"I'll testify!"

"I will also testify!"

"I'll raise both hands as proof, can I have 20 yuan?"

……

Niu Dazhuang and Chen Dagui turned ashen-faced, no longer daring to show any of their bravado.

Niu Bayi then shouted loudly, "Tell me, what if Chen Dagui still doesn't admit defeat? Refusing to accept a loss is inhuman; a person like that going out to sea to fish will be punished by heaven!"

"The Dragon King hates people who break their promises. Don't let a mere bug ruin our whole pot of porridge!"

This shout only fueled the anger of the fishermen.

Absolutely. When you're out in the world, integrity is paramount.

If you break your promise, even God will not stand by and punish you!

Punishing you is one thing, but we're all out fishing together, what if we get dragged into this too?

The fishermen believed in fate and would never allow such a shameless person to sneak in.

Immediately, a fisherman shouted, "Chen Dagui, if you refuse to accept your loss, you're breaking your promise! A person without integrity doesn't deserve to be a fisherman. We don't need you going out to sea to fish anymore, lest you bring trouble to us!"

"Smash all your fishing boats!"
