Everyone turned to look toward the door.
Rat's eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Yaodong and hurried over. "Dongzi, you're getting a bigger boat? Planning to fish in the deep sea? You're really something! You only just got this boat, and now you're getting an even bigger one..."
"Hey... stop, stop, stop... who said I was getting a bigger boat?"
Ye Yaodong shot A-Guang a glare. The blabbermouth was talking so loudly about something that wasn't even remotely settled. If he'd known, he wouldn't have told him.
All he'd said was that he wanted to buy another boat, and a somewhat bigger one would be fine. It had still been vague, but A-Guang had gone straight to calling it a big boat.
A-Guang rubbed his nose and said nothing.
Rat looked at him in confusion. "Didn't A-Guang just say you were getting a bigger boat, and how impressive that was? You two are really something these days..."
"A-Guang's family just bought a boat, and now you're buying another one right on their heels. You two have really made good money these past couple of years... one boat after another..."
"Hey, hey, hey... nothing's settled yet. Stop talking it up. It's just an idea. I haven't even got the money together. It only came up while I was chatting with A-Guang. Buying a boat costs a lot of money. I just bought a shop. Where would I get that much money?"
"Oh, stop joking. Word went all around the village last month that you made several thousand yuan in just two months in Zhejiang Province. You made a fortune."
"You can't believe those rumors. People outside just make things up, and it gets more exaggerated with every telling. I can't afford to buy a boat right now."
