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

The Wu family's lunch was very lavish.

After the meal, Wu Gang returned with bags and packages.

Early in the morning, he sent Wu Gang to the county to buy dried goods.

These days, without refrigerated trucks, transporting seafood is a hassle; we can only deliver these dried goods.

Su Ruoxue didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.

There's no need to be so clear-cut between friends; she genuinely considers the five-year-old a friend.

After seeing off Su Ruoxue, Old Chen, and Su Yu.

Wu Sui turned around and went back into the courtyard.

Wang Feng, the eldest sister-in-law, was quickly clearing away the dishes on the table, while Chen Xue helped her.

Wu Sui walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Brother, give me your bank card number."

Wu Gang was eating and didn't even look up.

"Why do you need my bank card number? Are you short of money? All your money is at home, I'll go get it for you."

"I'll transfer the money to you."

"The three million has arrived. According to our previous agreement, you will take 20%, and I will transfer 600,000 to you."

Clang.

Wu Gang's chopsticks fell onto the table.

He stood up abruptly and stammered.

"How much...?"

"Six hundred thousand," Wu Sui said casually. "What's wrong? You think it's too little?"

"My goodness!" Wang Feng rushed out of the main room carrying a stack of bowls, almost bumping into the door frame.

She walked up to Wu Sui in a few steps, her eyes wide open.

"Second brother, are you out of your mind? That's 600,000!"

Looking at the couple's exaggerated reactions, Wu Sui thought he had robbed a bank.

"Sister-in-law, that Melo pearl sold for three million. We brothers should keep clear accounts. We agreed to split the profits from beachcombing 20/80, so my 20% is six hundred thousand."

Wang Feng's eyes always light up when she sees money.

Faced with this sum of 600,000, they retreated as if they had seen a ghost.

"Give me a break!" Wang Feng rubbed her hands vigorously on her apron, pointed at Wu Sui's nose, and started cursing.

"What kind of person do you consider your sister-in-law to be?"

"You're just lucky; a windfall fell from the sky and hit you on the head."

"You were the one who picked up those coconut shells, you were the one who found the pearls, what does it have to do with your brother?"

Wu Gang waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning red.

"Second brother, I absolutely cannot accept this money."

"I usually sell my seafood for a few hundred or a few thousand yuan, and I only take 20% of that."

"That's three million! If I took six hundred thousand, what kind of person would I be?"

"Keep this money; you and Xiaoxue will need it a lot in the future."

Wu Sui frowned.

"Brother, rules are rules."

"Were those coconut snails brought back together with us?"

"Without you pushing the cart, how could I have brought back so much cargo by myself?"

"Besides, if you hadn't used the wire to suspend the snail, would the bead have fallen out so perfectly intact?"

"Shut up!" Wang Feng interrupted him, her voice rising eight octaves.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll hit you with a broom!"

"Your older brother's broken cart is worth 600,000? Then everyone pushing a cart on the street would be a millionaire."

Wu Jianguo, who was under the eaves, tapped his tobacco pipe on the sole of his shoe, stood up and walked over.

"Second brother, your sister-in-law is right, your brother can't take this money."

The old man had a stern face and spoke in a very harsh tone.

"We Wu family members may be poor, but our backbone is straight."

"You got lucky with the money for this bead."

"If your older brother takes that 600,000 yuan, how will he ever be able to hold his head up in the village again?"

"Won't others gossip behind his back and accuse him of sucking his own brother's blood?"

Li Cuihua also came over and grabbed Wu Sui's arm.

"Yes, Ah Sui, you must keep this money safe."

"Xiaoxue has suffered a lot these past few years with you. Now that we have this money, let's quickly get the land for a house in the east of the village approved, build a beautiful house, and live a good life."

Chen Xue stood at the doorway of the main room, watching the family politely decline each other's invitations, her eyes slightly red.

She stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Mom and Dad, what Brother Sui said makes sense."

"We're all family, so let's not be formal. If it weren't for my eldest brother staying up all night with Sui Ge to go beachcombing, we wouldn't have encountered these good things."

"Xiaoxue, don't get involved with him." Wang Feng waved her hand.

"There's no room for negotiation on this. If you dare to give me the money, you can forget about ever coming through this door again."

Wu Sui was both amused and exasperated by the family's attitude of treating money like dirt.

If it were anyone else in the village, they would probably have fought tooth and nail over 600,000 yuan.

He put his phone back in his pocket and sighed.

"Fine, since you absolutely refuse to take the money, let's try a different approach."

"Consider this 600,000 as your investment capital, brother. Is that alright?"

Wu Gang was stunned for a moment.

"What kind of investment capital?"

Wu Sui held up two fingers.

"We definitely need to buy our own boat. Buying a boat costs money, right? This boat is a joint purchase between the two of us brothers."

"The money for buying the boat will be deducted from this 600,000. I'll take 80%, and you'll take 20%."

Wang Feng blinked, seemingly calculating the cost.

Wu Sui continued.

"Now a 17-meter-long ship costs about 20."

"I'll just deduct 20% from the eldest brother's share."

"The rest of the money will remain with me."

"Once our first ship is stable, we'll definitely buy a second and a third one."

"As long as it's a boat that I, Wu Sui, buy, you will automatically own 20% of the shares, and the money for buying the boat will be deducted from this principal of 600,000."

"Once this 600,000 is deducted, you won't be taking shares in the new ship for free anymore, brother."

"Next time you buy a boat, you'll have to put in your own money as a stake, how about that?"

After hearing these words, Wu Gang scratched his head and turned to look at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the straps of her apron.

Holding 600,000 yuan in cash felt like a hot potato; she couldn't feel at ease.

But the proposal to buy the ship and take a stake really touched her heart.

She dreamed of giving her man his own big ship so he wouldn't have to do hard labor at the docks every day.

This family used to be poor, and all the money went into Wu Sui's bottomless pit.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on kicking the second son out when Ya Ya was sick.

She was genuinely afraid that Wu Sui would gamble away all the family's remaining money, and that Ya Ya might suffer another serious accident.

Buying a boat and owning property is a serious business now, how could she not be tempted?

"Sister-in-law, this is a legitimate business." Wu Sui pressed her advantage.

"Besides, I can't manage a big ship by myself; my older brother has to come out to sea with me."

"I'm so lucky. Otherwise, someone else would have been on the boat and thrown overboard. Wouldn't you feel bad for me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng immediately got into a fighting stance and started cursing at Wu Sui.

"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! You dare to say anything, you little brat, you're asking for trouble."

"Alright, we'll do it your way. Buying a boat is a good thing, I won't stop you."

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense anymore, or Dad will break your legs."

Wang Feng reached out and slapped Wu Gang on the back.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and thank the second son; he's trying to find ways to support our family."

Wu Gang chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"Second brother, well... then I'll take advantage of you."

Wu Jianguo watched from the side, his tense face easing up.

I put a new pot of tobacco in the pot, lit it, and took a couple of puffs.

"Second brother, since we're talking about buying a boat, do you have a clear idea of ​​what you're planning?" Wu Jianguo exhaled a puff of smoke.

Wu Sui was stumped by the question.

Although he has a radar system to locate sea cargo, he is completely clueless when it comes to ships.

In his previous life, he had never actually gone out to sea to fish, and he knew nothing about these things.

"Dad, I really don't know much about this," Wu Sui replied honestly. "I was just thinking of buying a 17-meter boat to practice on first."
