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

Sacks of oysters were loaded onto a cart.

Wu Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at the small fishing boat.

The crank handle slammed down on the stone pier at the dock with a loud clang.

When Wu Gang returned from a sea voyage, he would always wash the deck clean.

What's the point of washing it today? Let this ship, like Cheng Kaixuan's family, stink.

The wheels made a creaking sound as they rolled over the stone slabs.

Wu Sui offered the village chief a cigarette, smiled and said hello before heading home.

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that the village chief came is a sign of respect for him.

Chen Changgui sighed, waved his hand, and told him not to cause trouble in the future, without saying anything more.

The villagers who had been watching the commotion automatically parted to the sides, making way for a wide path, and no one dared to speak.

Many people's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw the oysters piled up like a small mountain.

How much would this cost?

But the thought of Wu Sui's decisive kick just now sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Old Wu is really ruthless now. He kicked it without hesitation. It was a dock that was almost half a person's height."

"That's right. If he had fallen and hit a rock, Cheng Kaixuan would be dead here today."

"Hey, that kid's no good."

"Lai Er instigated us to follow Wu Lao Er? Thank goodness he didn't hold it against us..."

Several villagers who had previously acted as "followers" were now shrugging their necks, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat.

If Wu Lao Er had lost his temper back then and kicked them into the sea to feed the fish, who would we have been able to reason with?

Cheng Kaixuan waited until Wu Sui left before climbing up.

Grandma Liu scrambled over and hugged her son tightly, wailing all the while.

"Kaixuan, are you alright?"

Cheng Kaixuan shoved his mother away, staring at the direction Wu Sui and his group had walked away, his back teeth grinding together.

But he didn't dare to chase after him.

The kick to the stomach still hurts. The way Wu Sui looked at him just now, he really dared to kill.

He couldn't swallow this insult, but he didn't dare to cause trouble.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Village chief Chen Changgui stood motionless by the dock with his hands behind his back.

He waved to Chen Fugui, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, and said, "Fugui, come here."

Chen Fugui's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. He stepped forward, handed over a cigarette, and lit it for him.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Chen Changgui took a drag and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"What's Wu Lao Er up to lately? There's been a lot of talk in the village these past few days, saying he's struck it rich?"

Chen Fugui lowered his voice and leaned closer: "Brother, Wu Lao Er has been lucky lately. He just picked up sea cucumbers during the typhoon and I heard he sold them for tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands?"

Chen Changgui's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

A while ago, Wu Jianguo came to him, saying he wanted to get a plot of land for Wu Lao Er to build a house.

He brushed it off at the time, thinking that the Wu family simply couldn't afford to build a house.

Now it seems that Wu Lao Er really made money.

Chen Changgui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it out with the sole of his shoe.

"Homestead land..." he muttered to himself.

Now that the Wu family is wealthy, the approval for the homestead cannot be stamped so readily.

This is a juicy piece of meat; Wu Lao Er has to bleed a little.

Chen Changgui snorted coldly and walked slowly toward the village committee with his hands behind his back.

The Wu family members had just reached the village entrance, pulling their cart.

They ran right into Wu Jianguo, carrying an iron hoe, panting as he ran towards them.

"Dad, where are you going?" Wu Gang quickly stopped the cart.

Wu Jianguo's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was heaving violently.

"I heard that Old Lady Liu and her men blocked your way at the dock, and Cheng Kaixuan even brought a stick. Were you hurt?"

The old man was about to rush towards the dock when he said that.

Wu Sui took a step forward and grabbed the hoe handle.

"Dad, calm down, things are all settled now."

"It's a draw? You didn't suffer any losses?" Wu Jianguo looked his two sons up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were unharmed.

Wang Feng chimed in from behind, "Dad, what's the loss?"

"The second brother kicked Cheng Kaixuan into the sea and sent him drinking water. I also slapped Old Lady Liu's mouth until it was swollen."

Wu Jianguo was stunned.

He looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, then at his second son.

Yes, that's something only the second son would do.

They act without reason and without considering the consequences.

Normally, he would have given this kid a good beating, but today he did a great job.

Wu Sui took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his father's mouth, and lit it.

"Let's talk about it when we get home. Mom's probably worried sick at home."

Back in the old house courtyard.

Old Lady Zhao Cuihua, holding one child in each hand, was sitting on the doorstep wiping away tears.

Seeing the family return safely, loaded with oysters, I quickly went to greet them.

After hearing what had happened, Zhao Cuihua slapped her thigh and sighed.

"The Cheng family is really bullying us! What are we going to do now?"

"Now everyone in the village knows our family is making money, so I doubt anyone will be willing to rent a boat anymore. Will we stop going out to sea?"

Wu Jianguo slammed the hoe against the corner of the wall, causing the mud wall to crumble and splinter.

"Bullying people? Who does the Cheng family think they are! If they really push me too far, I'll dig up their ancestral graves with a hoe!"

The old man was truly furious. The Wu family had been honest and hardworking in the village for most of their lives, and now they had to suffer such humiliation in the end.

Wu Sui pulled over a long bench and sat down.

"Father, Mother, from now on, we will not cause trouble in this village, but we will never be afraid of trouble either."

He poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp: "If anyone dares to come to our house and cause trouble again, no matter who it is, kick them out. If anything serious happens, I, Wu Sui, will take full responsibility."

Wu Gang nodded emphatically from the side: "The second brother is right. Our Wu family cannot be molded and manipulated by others."

Wang Feng felt completely at ease listening to this and rolled up her sleeves.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Next time someone is shameless like that, I'll be the first to step in!"

Chen Xue held Ya Ya in her arms and looked at her husband.

I feel that this man's shoulders are now truly capable of carrying the entire family, and I feel more at ease than ever before.

"Alright, let's not talk about these depressing things anymore."

Wu Sui stood up and pointed to the mountain of oysters piled up in the yard.

"Let's get started. Let's open all of these today and make oyster sauce."

"As for going out to sea, I'll go to town tomorrow to ask if I can rent one long-term or buy a second-hand one."

The family immediately sprang into action.

Some were moving stools, others were carrying knives.

The clicking sounds of shells being opened echoed throughout the yard.

With yesterday's experience, everyone's technique has become much more proficient.

The knife tip pierced through the gap, and with a twist of the wrist, the shell opened.

The plump oyster meat was picked out and thrown into a large plastic basin next to it.

While shucking oysters, Chen Yang excitedly exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, do you think we can find many pearls in these oysters?"

Wu Sui smiled and said, "It depends on luck. Who can say for sure?"

Wang Feng refused to believe it and moved the knife in her hand quickly.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! You jinx!"

"More than a dozen opened yesterday, there will definitely be more today."

The whole family was busy and chatting, and no one mentioned Old Lady Liu again.
