Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Treat Money as Dirt

"Hisss..."

Upon hearing this, the owners of the fish pond gasped in shock.

Isn’t this compensation a bit too extravagant?

You see, their Haina Baichuan Fish Pond is just fifteen acres.

And now they’re suddenly receiving forty acres, not to mention five hundred thousand yuan in compensation?

Moreover, the location of the new development zone in Jiang City is closer to the city center than their current place.

The geographic location is absolutely better!

For a moment, both the fish pond owners simultaneously looked towards Mr. Jin Tie in the distance.

At this time, everyone understood that the fish pond could receive such arrangements, thanks to Mr. Jin Tie’s phone call earlier.

"Mr. Jin, this..."

The lady boss rubbed her hands, looking totally at a loss.

At this point, before Jin Tie could speak, Ye Chen was the first to intervene.

"Just sign the papers. This is what you deserve. After all, you’ve invested a lot in this fish pond, and now that it is to be requisitioned, naturally, you should be compensated."

"Mr. Ye..."

"Go ahead and sign." Zhou Tao also added with a smile.

Finally, comforted by everyone around, the owners of the fish pond signed the agreement.

The five hundred thousand yuan in compensation was instantly transferred to their bank account.

Looking at the deed in their hands, the owners were overjoyed.

The couple stood still as if in a dream for a long time.

Meanwhile, Jin Tie and Liao Xuexue’s teacher, Zhou Fanghua, were each making phone calls to mobilize people to come here and get to work.

Upon snapping back to reality, the fish pond owners were ecstatic.

It was only then they realized that what Mr. Ye had mentioned was true—their fish pond really couldn’t continue...

So that’s what it was...

Grateful, the fish pond owner approached Ye Chen, took his hands with great emotion, and said,

"Mr. Ye, this is truly a blessing for us. Not only did we get a bigger, better-located fish pond, but we also received five hundred thousand yuan in compensation."

"We’re truly grateful to you, Mr. Ye. If it weren’t for you fishing here, we would have never experienced this."

"Today, I’ll make the call; this five hundred thousand is yours, you deserve it!"

After saying this, the owner looked back at his wife.

The lady boss was startled but quickly reached for the bank card they just received the payment on, making a motion to hand it to Mr. Ye.

Ye Chen was somewhat taken by surprise by the couple’s decision.

He hadn’t expected them to make such a move...

"I can’t take this money, please keep it," Ye Chen pushed the bank card back and shook his head.

"You’ve already emptied your savings these past few days welcoming me, with stocking the pond and hiring those dancers."

"Besides, you need to keep this money to renovate the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, and I will still continue to fish there."

These words from Ye Chen touched everyone present.

Whether or not Ye Chen cared about the five hundred thousand or for some other reason,

His refusal to take the money and what he said clearly showed that he wasn’t someone who takes advantage of others.

The owners were moved beyond words.

At this moment, both the owner and his wife were on the verge of tears. With tears in his eyes, the owner said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, you truly are a noble person!"

The lady boss nodded and added, "Mr. Ye, then as you said, we’ll use this money and get the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond fixed up soon, and wait to welcome you over to fish again!"

Standing nearby, Liao Xuexue pursed her lips, looking at Ye Chen with complex emotions.

This guy, sometimes he seems to value money above all else.

But at other times, money seems worthless to him.

There really is something quite charming about Mr. Ye.

Thinking this, Liao Xuexue’s pretty face blushed.

These days with Mr. Ye have indeed sparked some complex feelings for him within her.

Old Liao watched his granddaughter’s shy expression, sighed helplessly,

But nowadays, he didn’t say much, just glared softly at Ye Chen.

Lucky guy, definitely got some charm!

Zhou Tao was also surprised at Ye Chen’s refusal.

According to his understanding, even if Ye Chen wouldn’t take all of the five hundred thousand, he’d likely take some "interest."

Who knew Ye Chen would speak so righteously?

Truly a noble character!

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream room greatly admired Ye Chen’s decision.

"Mr. Ye really radiates positive energy! I’m moved to tears!"

"Truly touching! Mr. Ye is not like those who are only motivated by profit. I still remember when we arrived here today, the fish pond owners had mentioned in passing that they spent all their savings stocking the fish pond and welcoming Mr. Ye, and this five hundred thousand was like timely help!"

"Moved! I bet the owners didn’t expect Mr. Ye to remember this!"

"Speaking of which, all of this was because of Mr. Ye. If Mr. Ye hadn’t fished up that Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain here, their fish pond wouldn’t have been requisitioned by the Jiang City authorities, and they wouldn’t have received these benefits..."

"This truly is a blessing in disguise for the fish pond owners. Most of the fishing community is decent, not like that detestable Cui Ruogou!"

"The fish pond owners offering the five hundred thousand was their duty, and Mr. Ye not taking it shows his goodwill!"

"Everyone, stand up, Mr. Ye’s integrity is truly profound!!!"

"Seriously, if it were me, I’d just take the five hundred thousand, because this is basically an indirect eviction of the fish pond!"

As everyone shared their opinions, Ye Chen spoke again.

"I can’t take this five hundred thousand, but give me a chicken to take with me."

Ye Chen said, pointing to a chicken coop in the distance.

After these words, the crowd around was momentarily puzzled, looking at Ye Chen in confusion.

Then, Ye Chen made a clarifying remark.

"Since they’re going to start archaeological excavation here soon, I won’t be able to fish."

"If you don’t give me something, wouldn’t I have come all this way for nothing?"

With that, the viewers in the live stream room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, so funny, in the end, Mr. Ye still dislikes coming home empty-handed!"

"Sounds reasonable, I don’t want your money, just give me a chicken to save me from returning empty-handed!"
