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

This lunch was the most sumptuous meal Wu Sui had ever eaten at the Chen family's house in his two lifetimes.

After making up her mind, Zhao Guihua went straight to the chicken coop in the backyard.

They slaughtered chickens and ducks, wanting to give the best to their daughters and granddaughters, and Wu Sui naturally benefited as well.

Chen Daqiang squatted in the yard smoking a pipe, and looking at his wife's posture, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"That kid got incredibly lucky."

Zhao Guihua glared at him and threw the cleaver, stained with chicken blood, onto the cutting board.

"Who cares about luck? As long as I can make money and take care of my family, that's enough."

"Be nicer to me later, don't always have that long face, it makes Ah Sui unhappy."

Chen Daqiang tapped his pipe, said nothing, but still silently went to the stove to help boil water and pluck feathers.

The food is served.

A large pot of chicken stew with mushrooms, a plate of blood duck, and some homegrown vegetables.

Zhao Guihua took off her apron and greeted Wu Sui in a lukewarm manner.

Chen Daqiang looked at his wife, who had just told him to be nice, but now was acting like this, and was speechless.

"Ah Sui, sit down and try your mother's cooking."

He picked up his chopsticks, took a chicken leg, and put it into Wu Sui's bowl.

"Work hard from now on, and don't be careless about your meals; your health is the most important thing."

Chen Xue sat beside her, watching this scene with red eyes.

When Wu Sui came to our house before, he couldn't even get a hot meal, let alone chicken legs.

Every time, Zhao Guihua would make sarcastic remarks, and Wu Sui would take a couple of bites, then throw down her chopsticks and leave.

Today, although my mother's attitude was still lukewarm, at least she didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Dad, thank you. Give the chicken drumsticks to Xiaoxue and Yaya. I like chicken feet."

Wu Sui gave the chicken leg to Chen Xue, then gave Ya Ya a piece of meat, before picking up a chicken foot and starting to eat it himself.

The elderly couple from the Chen family were a little taken aback by how sensible Wu Sui was.

However, the fact that he knows how to care for his wife and children is a good thing, and their expressions improved somewhat.

The family was eating when the courtyard gate was pushed open.

Grandpa Wang was carrying a bowl of meat, followed by several aunties who were peeking around curiously.

"Hey, Daqiang, are you eating? Perfect timing, I made some meat at home, I'll bring some over for you."

As Grandpa Wang said this, his eyes kept glancing at the table.

"I heard Guihua was so angry just now, what's wrong? Are you unhappy with your son-in-law?"

The gossipy women behind them chimed in with sarcastic remarks.

"Uncle Wang, you don't understand. Wu Sui is a big boss now, and he brought so many good things with him. How could we possibly kick him out?"

"I just don't know which casino borrowed the money to buy those things."

"You bet that's right, that big gold chain, it's probably a fake that floats on water, isn't it?"

Chen Xue turned pale with anger and was about to retort.

Zhao Guihua slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table.

"Bullshit!"

She stood up and walked to the cabinet next to her.

He grabbed the cigarettes and alcohol Wu Sui had brought and slammed them onto the dining table.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully, what is this?"

Grandpa Wang was startled. He went closer and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Mao... Maotai?"

"And there's Zhonghua cigarettes." Zhao Guihua raised her chin high, pointing to the items on the table.

"My son-in-law bought them. He doesn't gamble anymore and earns money on his own. He spent several thousand just on these."

Some people didn't believe it, pursed their lips, and muttered to themselves.

"Sister-in-law Guihua, don't be fooled by him. How could Wu Sui earn so much money? Did he sell the family's land?"

Chen Daqiang couldn't hold back any longer.

He stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

"My son-in-law ordered a 17-meter-long iron boat himself; it cost over 300,000 yuan."

"I've read the contract; the shipyard's official seal is clearly affixed!"

Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "Alright, we're just having dinner. We don't have much to offer you, so we won't keep you any longer."

"Uncle Wang, please take this bottle of wine back and drink it. The others... probably don't even know what Moutai is, so we won't give it to you. Goodbye."

Everyone: ...

Only a fool wouldn't recognize Moutai; that's just pathetic.

If you're reluctant to give, just say you're reluctant.

Pooh!

These words were spoken.

Grandpa Wang took the wine, his mind filled with images of a seventeen-meter-long ship.

More than three hundred thousand?

"Daqiang, are you kidding me? Wu Sui really bought a boat?"

"Uncle Wang, you can't just say things like that," Zhao Guihua chimed in. "My son Xiaoyang will be going to work on the ship with his brother-in-law in a few days. The salary isn't high, just 1500 yuan, plus some kind of commission."

"Oh dear, look at me, I'm just an ignorant country bumpkin, I don't know anything about bonuses or commissions, I don't know how much money it is."

"I'm very happy with this salary. At least I'll have a proper job from now on. Don't you think so?"

Everyone else rolled their eyes so hard they were practically flying to the sky. 1500 is high? Are you trying to fly to the heavens?

Mr. Wang's son works at the Maritime Safety Administration, where he only earns 800 yuan a month.

Can Chen Yang really earn that much money in a month by working for Wu Sui?

The group exchanged glances, each seeing shock and disdain in the other's eyes.

"Sister-in-law Guihua, there's a limit to how much you can brag... Who pays someone such a high salary?"

"Screw you!"

Zhao Guihua grabbed a broom from the corner of the wall and swung it at the group of people.

Whether I bragged or not is none of your business.

"Get out of here! Don't get in our way and keep us from having dinner!"

The broom was aimed directly at people's legs, and several gossipy women were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

"Hey, Guihua, how can you be like this? You don't appreciate kindness..."

"roll!"

The group was slunk out of the yard.

Grandpa Wang then remembered that he was still holding the other person's wine in his hands, and felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Sui noticed that his parents-in-law treated the old man differently, so he smiled and chatted with him for a few minutes before seeing him out.

After everyone had left, he asked about Grandpa Wang's identity.

Zhao Guihua is not a generous person. Let alone giving away a whole bottle of Moutai worth several hundred yuan, she would feel heartbroken for half the night just for letting someone take a sip.

"Didn't you buy a boat? Grandpa Wang's son works at the county maritime bureau, and I heard he's a cadre. It wouldn't hurt to build a good relationship with him."

Wu Sui had to give a thumbs up; his mother-in-law's awareness was truly extraordinary.

Although the meal was a bit eventful, overall it was the happiest meal Wu Sui had ever had at the Chen family's house.

In the afternoon, the mother and daughter whispered to each other, and Wu Sui went to work in the orchard again.

Ya Ya couldn't stay at home, so she went to the back mountain too. She poured water for the adults and then pestered her uncle to go catch shrimp in the river.

After dinner, Zhao Guihua specially took Yaya to sleep with her, and pushed Chen Xue, whose face was flushed, to go to sleep quickly.

Even if Wu Sui was stupid, he would understand what his mother-in-law meant.

But at my father-in-law's house... just thinking about it is kind of exciting.

When he returned to his room after taking a shower, Chen Xue's face turned even redder.

He buried his face in the pillow, not daring to look at Wu Sui, who was covered in sweat.

The wind was still blowing outside, and the bed inside shook for most of the night.

The next day, Wu Sui didn't wake up until late morning, and he had to support his back when he went out.
