A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 79: Pie in the sky
"If you two can't agree on this, then just give it to me."

A skinny man with a slightly lewd look stepped forward, grinning as he spoke, and tried to reach out his hand.

It was opened by two women working together.

"You shameless old bachelor, how can you say such a thing? If nobody wants the excrement in my outhouse, why don't you go and scoop some up and eat it yourself?"

"Why are you speaking so rudely? I was just trying to give you some advice."

The people around immediately burst into disdainful laughter.

That's incredibly shameless.

But they were also envious of that Western Starfish, after all, it cost seven or eight yuan per kilogram.

That one piece alone is worth more than ten yuan, which is more valuable than all the seafood they've collected so far combined.

Yun Xiaowu slapped his thigh in frustration: "If we had gone there sooner, that Western Star Spot would have been ours!"

After all, they weren't far away. What's the difference between this and watching the money right at your feet only to have someone else slid over and snatch it away?

Although Yun Jiao was also disappointed, she dared not go over and snatch it.

She's so small, what if she gets stepped on?
"Brother, there are many small sea snails on this reef."

Yun Xiaowu's eyes lit up when he saw that it was true.

"Quick, pick it up!"

He said something in a very soft voice and then bent down to pick up the small sea snails that were clinging to the rocks.

While picking up seashells, Yun Jiaojiao also kept her ears open to listen to what was happening over there.

Cai Jinhua and Widow Song got into a heated argument, and they not only started hurling insults at each other but also began poking fun at each other's shortcomings.

Cai Jinhua: "You slut, can't you live without being a slut all day? I've seen several men in the village having ambiguous relationships with you. Gouwa's father has only been dead for a short time and you can't stand being alone anymore? Someone like you wants to compete with me for fish? With your slutty smell, do you think anyone would want to take you?!"

Widow Song retorted sharply, "You fat wretch, with three layers of fat on your chin and belly, how long has it been since you took a bath? Don't you even look at your hair and nails? They're so black and greasy. Standing next to you, I'm afraid the fleas on your head will land on me."

No wonder your man looks down on you, always loitering around my house. And look at the state you've raised your son! He still wants a hundred yuan dowry? Pah!

Cai Jinhua had no idea that her husband was also loitering near her house, and she was furious.

"You shameless woman, how dare you seduce my man!"

She raised her hand and slapped Widow Song across the face.

Widow Song kicked her in return.

"Pah! If you're so capable, then take care of your own man. Who wants a lazy, drunkard like him? I may be a widow, but I don't just look at everyone. Only you would be interested in Yun Dana. Two pieces of trash together are a perfect match. Don't go and ruin other people's lives!"

This attack power was incredible; it infuriated Cai Jinhua so much that she released the fish and it pounced on her.

"You bitch, I'll fight you to the death!"

Widow Song was hit, so she dropped the fish and started fighting with her.

"Western Star Spot!"

"I caught it, it's mine!"

"Bullshit, I was the one who caught him first."

"Stop fighting and grabbing! Let me out first!"

"Ouch, who stepped on me?"

"Which bastard touched my ass and even grabbed a handful of it!"

"Hahaha... Dazhu, you have a nice perky butt, ouch, don't push me."

The scene was chaotic; what was originally just a battlefield between Cai Jinhua and Widow Song had turned into a melee.

Yun Jiao gasped, "I feel so sorry for that fish."

Are you still alive?
Yun Xiaowu was also watching the show from the rocks. It was already daylight, and he could see the situation over there clearly.

"Holy crap, what's Mom doing over there?!"

Yun Jiao: "Huh? Mother!!!"

Shen Yunlian was squeezed in the middle and couldn't get out even if she wanted to.

Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaowu rushed over immediately.

"Get out of the way, Mother, we're here, Mother."

"Ahhh!!! Move aside, everyone move aside! Scissors don't have eyes, it's none of my business if they poke someone's butt!"

Yun Jiao squeezed in a little bit, but was quickly squeezed out again.

He sat slumped on the sand, completely bewildered.

Although she was strong, she was small with short legs and an unstable base, so she couldn't squeeze in at all.

Just as I was about to stand up, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky.

She instinctively reached out and caught it.

Thud. The familiar blue fish landed in my arms.

A windfall?
Yun Jiao reacted quickly, turning around to hide the fish in her fifth brother's bucket, then pouring the squid from her own bucket in to cover it up, all in one smooth motion.

"Where's the fish? Who picked up the grouper?"

"I can't see it! Where's the fish? Damn it, who picked it up? Make a sound!"

Yun Jiao whispered: "Squeak~"

With the absence of the Western Star, everyone gradually calmed down.

Only Cai Jinhua and the widow were still fighting.

Yun Xiaowu and Shen Yunlian squeezed out of the crowd.

Shen Yunlian patted her chest: "That was terrifying, I almost fell over."

"Jiaojiao, are you alright?"

Yun Jiao pointed to the sand and water stains on her buttocks.

"I couldn't squeeze in and I fell."

"Are those two still fighting?"

"Quickly separate the people."

The fish had been picked up by someone and run away. The two were fighting so fiercely that if they weren't stopped soon, something bad might happen.

Led by the village chief's wife, several strong women separated the two.

Even after they separated, they still seemed to want to kill each other.

"We need to get out of here quickly."

Too brutal.

Shen Yunlian touched her hair: "We can't get too close, Cai Jinhua really does have fleas in her hair."

Yun Jiao immediately grabbed her mother's and fifth brother's hands: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Fleas are something that most people in the countryside have these days.

Their family is quite clean, so they've never had fleas.

Those little bugs are really itchy on my scalp!
After leaving, Yun Xiaowu discovered that Yun Jiao had poured all the squid and sea snails from his bucket into his bucket.

"Mom, look, we've found a lot of squid."

He picked up the bucket and shook it, revealing a small section of the starfish underneath.

Even a small section of it, the color is enough to attract attention.

"What is this..."

Shen Yunlian pulled it aside, and the Western Star Spot was fully revealed.

Her eyes widened immediately.

"West……"

He didn't dare say the last two words and quickly looked around.

Thankfully, no one was around. Shen Yunlian's heart pounded, and she blushed with excitement.

"Is this the one they stole?"

Yun Xiaowu was also shocked. He really didn't know what was going on. Why did Xixingban jump into his bucket on its own?

Yun Jiao giggled.

"I picked it up; it just slipped into my arms in a flash."

Shen Yunlian: …………

Yun Xiaowu: …………

Can you do this?

But that's a good thing!
"It's dead, but still fresh. You guys play around here, I'll go take this fish to sell first."

It won't be worth much if it gets any later.

Even a dead grouper isn't as valuable as a live one, but it's still much more expensive than ordinary seafood.

Shen Yunlian emptied the seafood from their bucket and left in a hurry. Just as Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaowu were about to continue their beachcombing, a familiar voice entered her mind.

'Hey, where are you? Come out and play...'

Orca calls are very powerful, but most people can't hear them.

Yun Jiao grabbed Yun Xiaowu's arm, her tone sincere yet somewhat seductive.

"Fifth brother, do you want to play with the orca?"
