1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

"Should I leave?"

Lin Shuisheng glanced at his second brother and threw away the miscellaneous fish in his hand.

"Hey, no! I was just kidding, don't be angry."

When Lin Chaosheng saw Lin Shuisheng about to leave, he quickly reached out and pulled him back, a fawning smile on his face.

joke!

We finally managed to meet their young master, how could we let him get away so easily!

In addition, he had a problem in his mind that felt like it was being scratched by a cat's paws.

"Hey, little brother! Tell your second brother the truth, did you really dream about Mazu last night?"

"certainly!"

Lin Shuisheng nodded without hesitation, showing no sign of guilt.

In his view, his past life was like a nightmare, and now he has woken up.

"Did Mazu, the goddess of the sea, tell you what you could do to get rich?"

Lin Chaosheng's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer, his voice filled with urgency and anticipation.

"Yes! Mazu told me that as long as I cling to my second brother's leg, I will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

Lin Shuisheng was secretly pleased and grabbed Lin Chaosheng's thigh.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaosheng's smile immediately froze. He then quickly shook off Lin Shuisheng's hand and moved a distance to the side.

"Go away, I knew you were being so helpful for no reason, it couldn't be anything good."

Let me make this clear beforehand! I'm penniless; don't expect to get a single penny out of me.

"Haha! I knew it! Second brother, you really are something. Even if you trust the village dog, you can't trust Ah Shui! Everyone in our village knows he's just a big talker!"

Seeing Lin Chaosheng's reaction, Lin Haisheng couldn't help but laugh so hard he clutched his stomach.

"Brother, what if I tell your wife about your secret stash of money..."

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow, stared at the smile on Lin Haisheng's face, and slowly spoke threateningly.

"Seriously, are you a dog? How can you turn on me so easily? Don't you know that's repaying kindness with enmity?"

Lin Haisheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Shuisheng with disbelief.

"Didn't you just say I was a charlatan? Well, what are you afraid of if I go chat with your sister-in-law for a bit?"

Lin Shuisheng rolled his eyes and flipped the salted fish in the basin over.

"I..."

Lin Haisheng was taken aback by Lin Shuisheng's words, and then stood there dumbfounded.

He felt that something was off about Lin Shuisheng's words, but he couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

Lin Chaosheng's lips twitched slightly when he saw his older brother's simple and honest appearance.

Sometimes, he really wondered if they were really brothers.

Otherwise, if he and Lin Shuisheng are both so smart, how come Lin Haisheng is the only one who is so stupid?

Could it be that he and Lin Shuisheng were both picked up from outside?

"Father!"

"Father!"

Soon, two sweaty kittens ran back from the village square and ran towards Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shuisheng respectively.

However, the taller one jumped onto Lin Chaosheng's back, almost knocking him into the basin of water.

The smaller ones stopped a few steps away from Lin Shuisheng, looking at him with a hint of curiosity.

"You little brat, you actually dared to come back?"

Lin Chaosheng steadied himself and shouted angrily. He quickly grabbed Lin Mingtao's clothes, forced him onto his lap, and slapped him on the buttocks.

"Ah! Grandpa, Grandpa, come quick! My dad's going to beat me to death!"

Lin Mingtao tilted his head back and cried out in pain, struggling to escape.

However, with his strength at the age of seven, how could he possibly stop a young and strong man who had been fishing with nets for years?

In the blink of an eye, he received several more slaps on the buttocks, which hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Yaoguang, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, heard the cries for help and rushed out, grabbing a broom from the corner of the door.

"Hey, Dad, I'm disciplining the child! Why are you hitting me?"

Lin Chaosheng was hit by a broom, looked up and saw his father's murderous look. He was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands.

"Hmph! I'm disciplining my child too."

Lin Yaoguang snorted coldly, propped himself up with a broom in one hand, and glanced at the three brothers, Lin Chaosheng, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Shuisheng.

When he saw Lin Shuisheng holding his eldest granddaughter Lin Chunjiao and carefully wiping the dust off her face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

That good-for-nothing, didn't he never really like his eldest granddaughter before?

Why have you suddenly become so doting on me?

"Dad, does Grandpa not like me?"

Lin Chunjiao leaned against Lin Shuisheng's chest and spoke softly.

"Who said that?"

Lin Shuisheng frowned, and his tone turned somber.

"This morning I asked my aunt to teach me to read, but my grandfather said that it was useless for me to study and told my aunt to teach my brother instead."

Lin Chunjiao glanced quickly at Lin Yaoguang, then lowered her head and spoke even softer.

"It's okay, your aunt won't teach you, your dad will!"

Seeing his son looking so dejected, Lin Shuisheng felt a pang of heartache and quickly offered words of comfort.

"No, my aunt taught me. I learned so many words!"

Lin Chunjiao shook her head, her two big eyes sparkling.

Then, things quickly dimmed again. "Then Grandpa said that no matter how much I learn, it will all belong to someone else in the future."

"Nonsense, he doesn't know anything!"

Lin Shuisheng's eyes widened, and a surge of anger rose within him. "Ajiao, remember this: what you learn will always be your own."

"oh!"

When Lin Chunjiao saw Lin Shui angrily cursing, she quickly nodded obediently, though it was unclear whether she understood or not.

Looking at his well-behaved son, Lin Shuisheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his gaze to the other side, to Lin Yaoguang, who was squatting on the ground, softly comforting Lin Mingtao.

At this moment, in addition to making money to pay off his debts as soon as possible, he also has to divide the family property.

Because he knows that some ideas are very difficult to change.

If we want our son to have a better environment to grow up in, then separating from the family is an inevitable thing.

But this requires a lot of money, a lot of money, and it can't be solved in a short time.

"Dad, Ah Chao, Uncle, Ah Shui, come inside for dinner!"

Soon, the voice of Second Sister-in-law Li Chanjuan could be heard from inside the house, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

At that time, the power supply on the island was not very good, and generally only the towns and county seats would turn on the lights after dark.

After they finished packing and went inside, a kerosene lamp was already lit in the hall, illuminating the room with a clear distinction between light and shadow.

The food on the table was very simple, consisting of only a dish of salted fish, a plate of scrambled eggs with preserved radish, a pot of mixed fish stew, and a pot of white porridge.

The aroma of the mixed fish stew and preserved radish omelet immediately brought back memories of the flavors, and my stomach started rumbling.
