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

Su Yu gripped his phone, his fingers trembling.

I had to press the dial key three times before I got it right.

As soon as the call connected, Su Yu yelled, "Sis, something terrible has happened!"

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong with you so late at night?"

"No, sis, listen to me, Melasma! We got Melasma!"

Su Yu lowered his voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in it.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Are you sure? How big?" Su Ruoxue's speech speed noticeably increased.

"The longan fruit was so big, orange-red, with flame-like patterns, and it shone like fire under the flashlight."

"What?!"

Su Ruoxue's usually composed voice rose eight octaves for the first time ever, and her rapid breathing could even be heard through the receiver.

"Sis, how much is this worth?"

"Orange-red, the size of a longan, covered in flame patterns..." Su Ruoxue muttered rapidly, then shouted.

"Su Yu, give the phone to Wu Sui."

Su Yu quickly shoved the phone into Wu Sui's hand.

"Feed." Wu Sui said calmly.

"Wu Sui, listen carefully! You absolutely must keep that bead safe. Find the safest place to put it!"

Su Ruoxue was extremely anxious. "Don't let anyone see this, and don't show it off. I'll take people there first thing tomorrow morning, no matter how bad the weather is!"

"Okay, I understand. Don't be too anxious, it's not safe to travel during a typhoon."

"Hey, don't be so careless. If that thing is really like Su Yu said, the starting price is a million, you understand?"

"Got it, got it. Okay, be careful, see you tomorrow."

Wu Sui casually hung up the phone and tossed it back to Su Yu.

The courtyard was deathly silent.

Su Ruoxue's shouts on the phone just now were so excited that the whole family could hear them.

One million!

Starting price.

Wang Feng rolled her eyes and fell straight backward.

"Sister-in-law!" Chen Xue reacted quickly and helped Wang Feng up.

Wang Feng leaned against Chen Xue, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.

"One hundred...one million?" She grabbed Chen Xue's arm, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Wu Jianguo squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, repeatedly muttering, "Ancestors, please bless me, ancestors have shown their power..."

Li Cuihua was so anxious she was pacing back and forth.

"Where can I hide it? Where can I hide it?" She rushed into the main room, then ran back out.

"Put it in the rice container? No, no, the rice container won't work. Should I pry open the bed frame instead?"

Wu Gang suddenly stood up.

Without saying a word, he rushed into the woodshed and dragged out a rusty shovel.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Wu Sui asked.

Wu Gang gripped the shovel handle with both hands and stood behind the courtyard gate.

"I'm not sleeping tonight!" he glared, his eyes bloodshot. "Anyone who dares to come in, I'll chop them up with a shovel!"

Su Yu also joined in the fun, picking up half a brick from the corner of the wall.

"Second brother, I'll keep watch too. This is a treasure worth millions; it would break my heart if it were lost."

One million is nothing to Su Yu, but the experience of finding money by chance is incredibly exciting.

Looking at this family who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Wu Sui found it somewhat amusing.

"Alright, stop fussing."

He took the bead out of his pocket and tossed it around a couple of times.

This action made the whole family's hearts jump into their throats.

"Oh my god, don't throw it!" Wang Feng screamed in fright and reached out to catch it.

Wu Sui caught the bead steadily, took a clean piece of soft cotton cloth from Chen Xue, and carefully wrapped the bead in several layers.

Then, he stuffed the small cloth bag into Chen Xue's hand.

"Wife, keep this close to your body."

Chen Xue held the cloth bag in both hands, feeling as if it weighed a ton.

"Ah Sui, I...I'm afraid I'll lose it."

"It won't get lost. It's right here in our own home. Where could it fly to?" Wu Sui patted the back of her hand, comforting her softly.

Seeing Wu Sui so calm, the whole family felt their panic subside a little.

"Second brother, will this work?" Wu Jianguo was still worried.

"Father, the more carefully it's hidden, the easier it is to run into trouble. It's safest to keep it on your person." Wu Sui waved his hand.

"Alright, everyone go back to your rooms and get some sleep. Boss Su is coming tomorrow, why stay up all night?"

Wu Gang refused to leave and insisted on guarding the door.

Wang Feng ignored him and pulled Chen Xue into the house.

"Xiaoxue, let's go, let's keep an eye on each other tonight."

Chen Xue was dragged into the house by Wang Feng.

Late at night.

The typhoon has just passed, but the wind outside is still very strong, howling.

Outside the courtyard wall, several dark figures crept over furtively.

Lai Er hunched his neck, followed by Chen Fugui and two idlers.

"Second brother, did you hear that right? The Wu family really got their hands on a great treasure?"

"Nonsense!" Lai Er spat.

"Boss Lin came to collect the goods during the day and gave me over 40,000 yuan. I saw it with my own eyes."

"They were shouting and yelling in their yard just now, they must still have some good stuff they haven't sold yet."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the idlers turned green with envy.

"Shall we climb in and take a look?"

"Touch your mother's head!" Lai Er slapped the man on the back of the head.

"Wu Lao Er is like a living Yama now, do you dare to mess with him?"

"Let's listen to what they're doing first, see where they've hidden it, and then wait for them to leave tomorrow..."

Several people pressed themselves against the courtyard wall, straining to hear.

yard.

Wu Sui had already gone back to her room and lay down.

Chen Xue and Wang Feng were whispering to each other in the inner room, while he leaned back in his chair in the outer room, closing his eyes to rest.

The wind was strong outside, but Wu Sui's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people.

The rustling footsteps and deliberately hushed voices at the base of the wall did not escape his ears.

Wu Sui opened his eyes, walked to the door of the inner room, and knocked on the door frame.

"Wife, come out for a moment."

Chen Xue quickly put on her clothes and came out.

Wu Sui leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Chen Xue paused for a moment, then nodded, turned around and went back into the inner room.

Less than half a minute later, Wang Feng rushed out of the house.

She hadn't even put her shoes on properly, she was shuffling around in slippers, her face full of anger.

"Sister-in-law, the water is in the kitchen," Wu Sui pointed in the direction.

Wang Feng rushed into the kitchen, picked up a large plastic basin, and tiptoed to the courtyard wall.

Wu Sui pointed to the location from behind.

Wang Feng nodded and suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"Splash!"

A large basin of foul-smelling swill was thrown over the courtyard wall.

Several piercing screams suddenly rang out from outside the wall.

"Ah! What is that?!"

"Holy crap, that stinks! It got in my mouth!"

Wang Feng put her hands on her hips and started cursing at the top of her lungs.

"Which blind bastard dares to eavesdrop under my wall? They're asking for trouble!"

"Today I'm throwing swill, tomorrow I'll throw manure!"

"If you dare to loiter around the Wu family's door again, I'll chop off your dog paws."

Lai Er and his group outside were soaked to the bone.

Wang Feng's outburst of insults terrified the group.

"Run! Run! The tigress is unleashing her fury!"

Hearing the footsteps receding outside, Wang Feng snorted triumphantly and threw the plastic basin on the ground.

"A bunch of cowardly bastards, daring to plot against our family."

Wu Sui gave a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law is awesome!"

Wang Feng clapped her hands: "Alright, go to sleep now. With your sister-in-law here, no one can touch a single penny of our family's money."

The room finally quieted down.

Wu Sui returned to bed, where Su Yu was already fast asleep.

Seeing the heartless rich kid, he could only kick him a few times before lying down fully clothed.
