Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

"Mother Selin, this family must be divided today!"

"You gambling addict, if you want to die, don't drag your whole family down with you."

Sharp shouts pierced the roof.

Wu Sui suddenly opened his eyes, and the smell of the sea mixed with mold filled the room and hit his head.

His eyes were met with yellowed newspapers pasted on the walls, and he stood there stunned on the earthen bed.

Beside the kang (a heated brick bed), Chen Xue, with a sallow complexion, held four-year-old Yaya in her arms.

The woman was trembling all over, her eyes were red, but she was biting her lip tightly.

The little girl nestled in her mother's arms, tears streaming down her face, but she dared not cry out loud.

Wu Sui felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes instantly turned red.

He has truly been reborn!

He returned to the year 2000, to the day he was forced to separate from his family, ultimately causing the deaths of his wife and daughter.

In his past life, he couldn't stand his sister-in-law's scolding, so he dragged his wife and children out the door.

In an attempt to borrow money for medicine for Ya Ya, who had a high fever, Chen Xue slipped off a rock and was swept away by the waves. Ya Ya did not survive that winter.

From then on, he became increasingly decadent and drifted aimlessly for more than 20 years.

He was eventually tricked by a friend from the same village into going to northern Myanmar, where he died tragically in a telecom fraud ring.

"What are you pretending to be dead for?" Sister-in-law Wang Feng slammed her hand on the broken wooden table, making a loud clattering sound.

"You good-for-nothing, eating and drinking for free, and Ya Ya is so sick, and you still want to steal money to make up for your losses? You're getting out of this old house today."

The villagers watching the commotion outside pointed and whispered.

"Chen Xue is such a good girl, marrying him is the worst luck imaginable."

"With his laziness, he'd starve to death within three days of the family splitting up."

Gossip and idle chatter can really hurt.

Chen Xue knelt down before Wang Feng with a thud.

"Sister-in-law, please, Ya Ya still has a fever. We'll leave as soon as her fever breaks. I'll give you all the food rations I have..."

"Save my ass!" Wang Feng disgustedly shoved Chen Xue's hand away. "Tell him to get lost. You hurry up and pack your things, then take Ya Ya to the clinic."

Wu Suiqiang suppressed a lump in his throat and comforted Chen Xue.

"Xiaoxue, the ground is cold. Get up and listen to your sister-in-law. Take Yaya to the clinic first."

Chen Xue was a little stunned, not understanding what kind of trouble Wu Sui was up to now.

In the past, whenever his sister-in-law scolded someone, Wu Sui would definitely make a big fuss. What's wrong with her today?

Wu Sui lowered his head and bowed to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'll go and think of a way to earn money right away. You take Xiaoxue and Yaya to the clinic first. Don't worry, I won't renege on my debt."

Wang Feng's eyes widened: "You... don't think you can get away with this by saying a few nice words. Don't even think about staying at home. Get out of here now."

"Fine, I agree to split the family property. I, Wu Sui, am a man of my word."

Wu Sui walked to the corner of the wall and picked up the rusty, broken sand shovel and bamboo basket.

"Sister-in-law, you take Yaya to the clinic first. I promise I won't try to cheat you out of your money."

After saying that, he glanced at Ya Ya, whose cheeks were flushed red from the fever, and strode out of the old house.

Ya Ya still had a fever, so there was no time to explain; making money was the priority.

In 2000, there was gold everywhere, but right now, the only thing that can be cashed in the fastest is this sea right in front of us.

The midday sun was scorching, and as the tide receded, a large expanse of dark, muddy beach was revealed.

Wu Sui stepped into the ankle-deep mud.

Ya Ya needs money for medical treatment, so he must dig up something valuable before the tide comes in.

But in his previous life, he never went to the beach; he knew nothing about crabs or fish.

Having been reborn, how can I still be looked down upon?

Wu Sui gritted his teeth and shoveled hard into the mud.

[Ding! Strong host intent detected; Ocean Encyclopedia System successfully bound!]

[Radar activated. Detection range: 10 meters in radius.]

Wu Sui shuddered and his eyes widened.

The black mudflats in front of us have changed!

One by one, the glowing points of light appeared like stars.

He strode toward the nearest white light, turned over the black mud with a shovel, and found a clam the size of a fingernail.

Common clams, extremely low value.

Wu Sui was breathing rapidly, somewhat incredulous, and continued digging towards the light spot.

Within ten meters, there was only white light, and all that was dug out were worthless clams that couldn't be sold for a good price.

He carried a bamboo basket and resolutely waded into the depths of the muddy beach.

"Hey, isn't this Wu Sui?"

A sarcastic voice rang out as Li Ergou, the village's old fox, swayed back and forth carrying a half-bucket of small fish and shrimp.

"What are you doing here, going beachcombing?" Wang Mazi spat.

"I just swept this beach; there wasn't even a crab leg. You're carrying this broken shovel, planning to dig up mud to make soup?"

Wu Sui ignored him, his gaze sweeping across the beach before finally settling on Li Ergou three meters behind him.

There, a dazzling green light was flashing wildly through the black mud.

Wu Sui gripped the sand shovel tightly, strode past Li Ergou, and headed straight for the green light.

"Hey! Are you deaf?" Wang Mazi's temper flared up when Wu Sui ignored him.

He pointed at the smooth, mirror-like mudflat and sneered.

"If you can find anything valuable here, I'll drink this bucket of muddy water."

Wu Sui ignored the dog's bark and stared at the green light in front of him.

The aperture was as big as a large bowl, and it was still slowly moving under the mud.

It's definitely a big one!

He gripped the broken sand shovel tightly with both hands, not daring to plunge it straight in, but instead taking half a step back and aiming at a spot ten centimeters behind the green light.

"Pfft!" The rusty iron shovel cut into the mud.

Wu Sui's arm muscles bulged, and with a sudden sinking of his waist, he pried up a large chunk of black mud by the root.

"Click!"

A crisp sound of hard objects colliding rang out.

Wang Mazi's sneer froze, and he stretched his neck out.

From the turned-up black mud, a large blue pincer emerged.

The pliers were covered with sharp spikes on the edges, and they swung around with a clicking sound.

Immediately afterwards, a blue crab with a dark blue carapace and a body as large as a large bowl crawled out, baring its teeth and claws.

[Ding! Premium wild blue crab, estimated weight: 2.2 jin!]

Wu Sui's eyes lit up.

In 2000, the price of mud crabs wasn't too high, but this one, weighing over 2 jin (1 catties), could sell for 50 or 60 yuan.

Wu Sui stepped on the crab's back, looked around but couldn't find anything suitable, so he simply tore off a piece of his old clothes.

Wrap it with pliers, tie a knot, and in two or three seconds it's tightly bound.

"This...how is this possible?" Li Ergou's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

I've been a fisherman for over ten years. When has this beach ever produced such a large king crab?

There isn't even a single vent; this kid has X-ray vision!

Wu Sui picked up the tied-up blue crab king and strode closer.

The huge crab claws were less than three centimeters from Wang Mazi's face, which startled him so much that he took two steps back.

"Hey Dog Bro, who just said they wanted something to drink?"

Li Ergou's face turned a deep purplish-red. He looked at the broken fish and shrimp in his bucket, then at the large blue crab, and felt a burning pain on his face.

Wu Sui didn't have time to pay attention to him and turned to leave; making money to save her daughter was the priority.

For the next hour, Wu Sui transformed into a ruthless human mine detector.

"Plop!" Turning over the mud, a wild mantis shrimp the size of a palm fell into the basket.

As long as it's green, one shovel and you're good to go.

White light? Even a dog wouldn't look at that.

The villagers who went to collect seafood went crazy; their minds were practically fried and they still couldn't understand it.

"Damn it, how come that scoundrel always picks up the good stuff?"

"Who cares how he picked it up? The mudflat is so big, let's go check it out too..."

Several villagers, carrying buckets, followed closely behind Wu Sui.

Wu Sui didn't look back and kept choosing the green light.

The villagers frantically dug at the spot he had dug, but found nothing but mud and not even a single crab hair.
