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

After navigating the boat back to the village dock, the three of them dragged their weary bodies home.

Wang Feng, the eldest sister-in-law, was sitting on a small stool, picking vegetables in her hands, and whispering something to Chen Xue next to her.

Chen Xue's face was flushed, her head was down, and she had almost plucked all the vegetables from her hands.

Hearing the noise, the two looked up.

"Oh dear, why are you so late today?"

Wang Feng threw the vegetable leaves in her hand into the basin, stood up, clapped her hands, and circled around the group.

Wu Gang, carrying a bucket of water, excitedly said, "Being back late means a good harvest, hehe...you have no idea how lucky the second brother is."

Chen Xue hurriedly went to meet him, took the things from Wu Sui's hands, and looked at his bloodshot eyes with heartache.

"You must be exhausted. Go back to your room, wash up, and get some sleep."

Wu Sui waved his hand: "It's alright, let's take care of business first."

Chen Yang squeezed in from behind, carrying the bucket of water containing the blue spots, and presented it to Wang Feng like a treasure.

"Sister-in-law, look what this is."

Wang Feng peeked into the bucket.

A four-pound blue spotted catfish flicked its tail in the water, splashing water all over her face.

"Ouch!" Wang Feng wiped her face, her eyes widening in surprise. "A bruise? Such a big bruise?"

She grew up by the sea, so how could she not recognize this thing?

"This must weigh about four pounds, right? At over a hundred yuan per pound, this fish must cost at least four or five hundred yuan!"

Wang Feng gasped and turned to look at Wu Gang.

"What are you doing? Why did you bring fish back? Hurry up and sell them, they're worthless if they're dead."

As he spoke, he was about to push Chen Yang out the door, telling him to go to the dock and sell the goods.

Wu Gang scratched his head, stopped his wife, and pointed at Wu Sui.

"The second brother said that this fish should be kept to nourish the family for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was so anxious that she slapped her thigh repeatedly.

"Eat? You'd eat that up in one bite for four or five hundred yuan? Are you out of your minds?"

"Are these blue spots made of gold or silver? Will eating them grant immortality?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just buy two old hens and stew them? Why do you have to eat this?"

She turned and lashed out at Wu Sui: "Second brother, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you've only just started making a little money and you've already forgotten who you are? How can you live such a lavish lifestyle?"

Wu Sui smiled, pulled over a bench, sat down, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Sister-in-law, isn't the point of making money to eat and drink well? Money is worthless; we can earn more once it's gone."

"You..." Wang Feng pointed at him angrily, unable to speak for a long time.

Wu Sui slowly pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket.

The bag was opened, revealing bright red 100-yuan bills.

Wang Feng's nagging stopped abruptly, her eyes fixed on the money on the table.

Chen Xue also covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.

Although Wu Gang already knew how much money there was, he still couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw so much cash in front of him.

"How much...how much is this?" Wang Feng's voice trembled.

Wu Sui exhaled a smoke ring and pushed the money to the center of the table.

"Not many, we sold 18,000 last night."

"How...how much?!" Wang Feng screamed, almost falling to the ground.

Chen Xue quickly helped her up.

Eighteen thousand!

These days, many families in the village can't save that much money even after a year of hard work.

They made a fortune in one night?

They used to think Wu Sui was lucky because he got lucky.

Even with the 300 million yuan Melaleuca pearl as a foundation, Wang Feng still felt that the money came too fast and was unreal.

Who can make this much money fishing with longline all night?

If everyone's doing longline fishing, why bother with trawling?

She pinched Wu Gang's waist in disbelief.

"Does it hurt?"

Wu Gang was so aggrieved. You must be dreaming about pinching yourself, why would you pinch me?

But he dared not say it, and could only nod wryly, "It hurts!"

Wu Sui stubbed out his cigarette and cheerfully told everyone to start distributing the money.

"As we agreed before, I would take 80% and my older brother would take 20%."

"When I called Xiaoyang over, I also agreed that I would get 0.5 points."

Wu Sui counted out 100 yuan from the pile of money and handed it to Chen Yang.

"You also contributed yesterday, so here's your share of the profits. From now on, every time the fish caught on the boat are sold, it will be distributed according to this amount."

Chen Yang waved his hands repeatedly and stepped back, saying, "Brother-in-law, I can't take it!"

"I just helped out and ended up making things worse, bringing up a bunch of junk. I have no right to ask for money."

Wu Sui raised an eyebrow: "Just take it. Stop talking nonsense. Even brothers should keep clear accounts. You have to get paid for the work."

Chen Yang looked to Chen Xue for help.

Chen Xue nodded: "Your brother-in-law gave it to you, so just take it. Take some time to go to town and open a bank account. Save all your money there and don't spend it recklessly."

Chen Yang happily took the money, put it in his pocket, and nodded repeatedly.

Wu Sui turned to Wu Gang and said, "Brother, Xiao Yang's half share will be deducted from my 80%, so I'll take 75%, which is 13,500."

"But we have to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects."

"If the ship hires more people in the future, the extra labor costs will be deducted from your 20% share."

Wu Gang nodded repeatedly: "No problem, that's how it should be done."

He knew perfectly well that if he hadn't followed the second brother, he wouldn't have had the chance to earn so much money in one night.

Wu Sui took out 3,600 yuan and pushed it in front of Wu Gang.

"Big brother, this is yours."

Wu Gang rubbed his hands together, about to reach for it, but another hand was faster than him.

Wang Feng clenched the money in her hand with a swift and decisive motion.

"I'll keep it for him. Men with money tend to go astray."

Wang Feng clutched the money tightly to her chest, her face, which had been angry, now beaming with joy.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, take back what you just said."

"Your ability to make money is unmatched in our village."

Wu Sui smiled and handed the remaining money to Chen Xue.

"Honey, take this. We're not saving this money anymore. Buy whatever you want."

Chen Xue took the money, but her eyes reddened.

She looked at Wu Sui's tired face, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm not buying anything. I'll save this money for you to use when you buy a big ship later."

"Go take a shower and get some sleep, you look exhausted."

Wang Feng watched from the side, put the money in her pocket, and started nagging again.

"Alright, alright, stop being so lovey-dovey."

"Second brother, you shouldn't squander money like this after you've made it."

"Keeping that blue-spotted fish for yourself is such a waste."

"Alright, alright, I'll go steam some for you right now. Go back to your rooms and go to sleep. It's so annoying to look at you."

Inside the house, Old Man Wu and Old Woman Wu were playing with Ya Ya and Little Tiger.

Hearing his eldest daughter-in-law's loud voice in the yard, Old Man Wu sighed.

"Da Feng's mouth is sharper than a knife; he won't stop talking even when he sees money."

The old woman pulled her two children along, saying, "Come on, let's go for a walk at the village entrance. Let's not get in the way here and let Dad and the others get some rest."

As the elderly couple took the child out, Grandma Wu made sure to give him a word of advice as they passed through the yard.

"Dafeng, go buy another chicken. They've been working hard all night; they need a good meal to replenish their energy."

Wang Feng smiled and nodded, "I understand, Mother. Don't worry about it."
