Reborn in 1981: My Life as a Fisherman

Chapter 035: Psychological Suggestion

Anyway, Lin Shaowen and his group will definitely come to him for alms.

And he certainly wouldn't spend a single penny, because he couldn't let these people taste any sweetness.

Otherwise, it will never end, and they might even think you're easy to bully.

Scoundrels and hooligans are nothing more than a group of people who are lazy, thieves, and bullies who prey on the weak.

Shi Hailong's words stunned Chen Dabiao for a moment.

At this moment, Chen Dabiao was not particularly excited because Shi Hailong agreed to lend him money.

Instead, they listened to what Shi Hailong said.

Seeing Chen Dabiao remain silent, Shi Hailong didn't say anything either, and simply took out a wad of cash.

He counted out six bills and stuffed them into Chen Dabiao's hand.

Before leaving, Shi Hailong muttered, "When you've been tricked, the best way is to fight back..."

His meaning was very direct: he was telling Chen Dabiao that he had returned sixty yuan.

It doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any trouble.

So it doesn't matter whether he pays back or not. Of course, he didn't say it directly, but told Chen Dabiao to deal with Lin Shaowen.

This is just psychological suggestion; it's just a matter of whether Chen Dabiao is willing to go all out.

As long as Chen Dabiao dares to mess with Lin Shaowen, he has a way to get the Chen family to deal with Lin Shaowen and his gang.

This requires a group of people with common surnames to work together.

Chen Dabiao took the money and left without saying a word.

At this moment, Shi Hailong also saw Zhao Hu arriving and walked over to him.

He took out a cigarette to show it to Zhao Hu, but Zhao Hu waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke."

Hailong, if you need my help, just say so.

"As long as I can do it, it's not a problem."

It's quite rare that someone in the village takes Zhao Hu seriously and even goes to his house to find him.

Zhao Hu's impression of Shi Hailong has also completely changed.

Shi Hailong put away his cigarette case, pulled Zhao Hu aside, and whispered:

You've probably heard about my business making fishnet cages.

Zhao Hu nodded. "Yes, do you want me to help you set up the internet?"

Shi Hailong shook his head and laughed, "No, I wanted you to go and set up the cage net yourself."

It's very profitable...

Zhao Hu was somewhat surprised, but then gave a wry smile, "My family is broke. The money we made from selling fish during the last night's fishing season was all used to pay off debts..."

Shi Hailong knew about this; he had also seen the flashlight beams on the beach that night.

I rushed to the beach to see it, then went home to call my family to come along. That time, we made quite a bit of money.

Zhao Hu was the first to discover it, so logically there should be quite a few others as well.

However, judging from the situation, it probably won't be enough to pay off the debts his family has accumulated over the years.

Shi Hailong thought for a moment and said, "I bought some more materials tonight."

We'll start making the fishnets tomorrow. Once they're done, I'll take a few to install.

Consider it a loan to you, so please don't refuse. I'm not lying to you; it really makes money.

You can set your nets on the beach at night, retrieve them in the morning, and dry them during the day.

Be careful when the tide is out, make sure the rope is tied tightly...

Zhao Hu was stunned by Shi Hailong's words, and he stared blankly at Shi Hailong.

Some people were confused and didn't understand why Shi Hailong would help him like this.

Seeing Zhao Hu's expression, Shi Hailong was very pleased; this was exactly the kind of look he needed.

He really helped us out of our time of need, didn't he?

I hope Zhao Hu won't betray him in the future!

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity, but true character is revealed in times of wealth and honor!

"Hailong, why...?"

"Because your family is in such dire straits, and I happen to have found a way to make money."

I just wanted to help if I could, since the ocean is so vast, I can't possibly fish it all out by myself.

Moreover, it's a loan to you, but you still have to pay back the principal...

After listening, Zhao Hu simply looked at Shi Hailong and nodded, "Okay, I'll come to your house to pick up the internet in a couple of days."

After saying that, Zhao Hu turned and left.

Shi Hailong watched his retreating figure with a sense of pleasure.

Being able to do good deeds and help others can really bring you joy.

Although Shi Hailong had his own calculations, he was genuinely happy and content.

He was about to go home, but Zheng Shangang left the group and came over.

"Brother Hailong, what does Zhao Hu want with you?"

Shi Hailong casually replied, "Nothing much, just chatting for a bit."

Zheng Shangang's question was also just a casual remark; his mind was elsewhere.

He whispered to Shi Hailong, "Guess what I just heard?"

Shi Hailong glanced at Zheng Shangang's deliberately mysterious face under the dim light at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

He asked, "What did you hear?"

Zheng Shangang remained mysterious, saying, "About you, about my Sister Qijin."

The guy stopped talking at this point.

This time, Shi Hailong didn't ask any questions, and just looked at Zheng Shangang.

Seeing that Shi Hailong wasn't pressing the issue, Zheng Shangang immediately felt bored and then laughed:

"Chen Shengli just told us that Yang Guangtao from the Yang family said that you publicly told people that you like my Sister Qijin."

He threatened to beat you so badly that your parents wouldn't recognize you, and even declared that the seven pounds belonged to him.

Anyone who tries to take it from him will be killed…

Upon hearing this, Shi Hailong was speechless; he had been spreading rumors for so many days.

I didn't see Yang Guangtao come looking for him to fight, did I?

Talk is cheap!

Yang Guangtao wasn't short of time to contact the contracting team during their numerous trips back and forth to Hong Kong.

Shi Hailong thought for a moment, then said very seriously, "Gangzi, I feel that Yang Guangtao doesn't respect your sister."

That's incredibly disrespectful to your sister!

Your sister is a perfectly normal person, not some kind of thing... uh... what kind of thing is she...

It's not like it's any kind of object, yet Yang Guangtao actually said your sister belongs to him.

Will your sister agree?

How did it become his?

Shouldn't we respect your sister's wishes in this kind of thing?

Has he considered your sister's feelings?

I feel that Yang Guangtao isn't very bright; he's a bit dim-witted. I wonder which girl will marry him in the future.

I doubt they can make a living like this.

And this guy is always threatening to kill this person or that person.

This person has violent tendencies and will definitely beat his wife again in the future…

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Hailong naturally did his best to sow discord between Yang Guangtao and others.

Zheng Shangang nodded repeatedly after listening to Shi Hailong's rapid-fire remarks.

That makes a lot of sense.

"Yes, I felt very uncomfortable listening to it, but I don't know what's wrong with it."

Brother Hailong, you're right. How could Yang Guangtao, a rough and dark-skinned man, possibly like my sister?

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror..."

At that moment, Shi Hailong took out a cigarette and handed one to Zheng Shangang.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before going their separate ways.

The young people who had gathered at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative had also dispersed, because the cooperative had closed and the lights were off.

When Shi Hailong returned home, his family was still awake and busy in the main room.

Preliminary work on the fencing netting is already underway.

Shi Hailong naturally joined in, and the two of them worked on the wire together.

First, make the wire frame.

It was almost 8 or 9 o'clock when the family finally went to rest.

Shi Hailong and Shi Haisheng went straight to the stream to wash themselves.

The water was a bit cold, but still bearable.

After the two brothers returned to the house, Shi Haisheng said, "Second brother, call me to come with you when we go to collect the fish traps tomorrow."

I want to go back to school.

Shi Hailong was surprised; it had only been a few days: "You're going back to school tomorrow?"

"Yes, everything is ready. I'll go with you to collect the fish traps."

I'll just stop by town to go back to school; I'd rather go back to school and read some books than stay home.

"Alright, study hard, and when you get out, you'll be my captain."

Upon hearing this, Shi Haisheng shook his head. "My mother told me to listen to the school's assignment and get a permanent job in a company."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hailong simply smiled and said nothing more.

He knew that saying anything more at this point would be useless.

He might even get a beating from her mother!

At night, after Shi Hailong and Shi Haisheng had fallen asleep, he quietly got up and got out of bed.

Then he lifted the sheet and took out stacks of banknotes from the straw underneath.

Then he gently opened the door and went outside, taking a thin film out of his pocket.

This film is the inner layer of the fertilizer bag, and it's also a fragment he picked up.

He wrapped the money in a thin film, grabbed a hoe, and went to the woods at the foot of the mountain.

I hid seven thousand yuan; this was money I was saving for an emergency purchase of a boat.
