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

Half an hour later, the small sampan slowly came to a stop at Dongshan'ao.

Before Lin Shuisheng could even get ashore, the villagers who were resting on the stone dam quickly surrounded him.

"Ah Shui, did you sell the big yellow croaker? How much did you get for it?"

"Ah Shui, you've really struck gold this time."

"Ah Shui..."

"Alas, I just stumbled upon this by sheer luck! May Mazu protect me, may Mazu protect me!"

Lin Shuisheng jumped onto the stone dam, looked at the villagers around him with envious faces, and waved his hand modestly.

After saying that, he gave his second brother, Lin Chaosheng, a wink and quickly slipped out of the crowd.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chaosheng immediately ran forward and stopped the villagers.

As for Shi Nansheng, she sat on the small sampan without moving, waiting for Lin Shuisheng to come over.

Soon, Lin Shuisheng ran back home.

As soon as he entered, a fresh and enticing aroma wafted over him, making him involuntarily take a deep breath.

"Dad, you're back!"

The next moment, a petite figure rushed towards him and grabbed his leg.

He looked down and his eyes met a pair of big, dark eyes.

"Jiaojiao, Daddy's dirty, let go of me."

"oh!"

Upon hearing Lin Shuisheng's words, Lin Chunjiao immediately obediently let go of his hand, stood to the side, and looked up at Lin Shuisheng with stars in her eyes.

This was a look Lin Shuisheng had never seen before in his previous life.

Lin Shuisheng raised his hand and gently rubbed the little girl's head before stepping through the courtyard into the hall.

"Did you sell the fish?"

Lin Yaoguang stared at his unreliable youngest son with a serious expression.

"Yes, it's sold!"

Lin Shuisheng nodded and turned his gaze to the two people sitting to the side.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle."

"Come, sit down, sit down and let's talk!"

Lin Yaozong pointed to the chair next to him, his face full of a warm smile.

After Lin Shuisheng sat down, he smiled and praised him again:

"Ah Shui, you really gave us a scare today!"

"That's right! At first, when my older brother told me you caught a big yellow croaker weighing several pounds, I didn't believe it! But I never expected you to catch three in a row."

At this moment, Lin Yaozu also spoke up excitedly, as if he were the one who had caught the big yellow croaker.

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence for me too!"

Lin Shuisheng raised the corners of his mouth and spoke softly and modestly.

"So, how much did you get for those three large yellow croakers?"

Lin Yaozu leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Lin Shuisheng.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Yaoguang and Lin Yaozong both looked directly at Lin Shuisheng, clearly eager to know the answer.

"Not much, only about six thousand yuan."

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow, not telling the truth.

Even so, Lin Yaozong and Lin Yaozu were somewhat stunned when they heard the price.

After all, they fish at sea all year round, working hard all year, and at most they can only earn about three thousand yuan.

In other words, Lin Shuisheng earned in one day what they earned in two years.

"Hmph! What good is this little bit of money? It's not even enough to pay off your previous debts."

Lin Yaoguang glanced at his second and third brothers, snorted coldly, and his face darkened.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozong and Lin Yaozu immediately came to their senses, and their expressions relaxed considerably.

"Hey! Big brother, don't say that. Ah Shui was just unlucky before."

"That's right! Even if he doesn't earn enough to pay it back now, he can earn more in the future!"

"Alright, didn't you need to take food to the county town? Juan and the others should have finished cooking, so hurry up and go!"

Lin Yaoguang didn't respond to his two younger brothers' words, but simply waved to Lin Shuisheng.

"Alright, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I still need to deliver food to Aqing and Auntie. I'll have tea with you next time I have time."

Lin Shuisheng stood up, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then turned and went to the small kitchen.

"Ah Shui, you've come at the right time. I've already prepared the food for you. This bucket is fish soup, cooked in Shi Jiu Gong's pot. The bucket next to it is brown sugar glutinous rice porridge. This box also contains two poached chicken legs. I've also packed a dozen or so seaweed rice balls for you. That should be enough for you."

When Li Chanjuan saw Lin Shuisheng come in, she immediately and enthusiastically pulled him to the stove and introduced him to a bunch of delicious food.

Listening to her introduction and smelling the fragrance in the air, Lin Shuisheng's throat tightened, and then he spoke with some gratitude:

"Second sister-in-law, thank you so much!"

"Hey, we're all family, why say such things? Besides, this wasn't something I did alone, Ah Xian helped a lot too."

Li Chanjuan waved her hand, then helped pack the lunchbox and soup bucket into a bamboo basket.

"Where's Ah Xian?"

Lin Shuisheng looked around but did not see his younger sister, Lin Shuixian.

"Oh, her! Your grandma sent her to pick tomatoes in the vegetable garden behind the house, saying you should take some back to town to eat."

Li Chanjuan paused in her actions, her words tinged with bitterness.

Even though only she and Lin Chaosheng gave the old lady a great-grandson, the old lady still favored Lin Shuisheng and Ye Wanqing. She would even pick tomatoes from the tomatoes she planted and have Lin Shuisheng take them to the county town.

"I'll go take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuisheng immediately turned around and walked out of the small kitchen.

It's already past 11 a.m., and the sun outside is blazing. We can't let the old lady get sunburned.

However, before he could even step out the door, he saw the old lady leading Lin Shuixian in.

He glanced at the half-basket of tomatoes Lin Shuixian was carrying, then stepped forward and took the old lady's hand.

"Grandma, it's so hot outside, why are you going to the vegetable garden?"

"It's nothing, I'm just going for a short trip. Ah Xian picked them for me."

Huang Suzhen chuckled and gently patted Lin Shuisheng's hand.

"Third brother, look how hot I am, my clothes are all wet."

Lin Shuixian rolled her eyes, grabbed her collar and shook it incessantly, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll buy you a new outfit when I get back from the county town."

Lin Shuisheng glanced at Lin Shuixian and immediately offered her a pie in the sky.

"Really? Then I want to buy a floral shirt and a skirt."

Lin Shuixian's eyes lit up, and she made her request without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll buy a floral shirt and a skirt."

Lin Shuisheng was secretly pleased and nodded in agreement.

He never expected that what his younger sister wanted to buy was exactly what Shi Nansheng was wearing.

I'm going to the county town with Shi Nansheng later, so I can ask her where she bought her clothes.

"Third Brother, I love you to death!"

When Lin Shuixian saw that Lin Shuisheng had agreed, she jumped up with joy.

Then, without being told, she carried the tomatoes into the small kitchen and picked out the reddest and sweetest ones for Lin Shuisheng.

Taking advantage of the break, Lin Shuisheng helped the old lady into his room and took out the 9000 yuan from selling the fish.
