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

Once the matter was cleared up, Chen Xue felt completely relieved and pushed Wu Sui towards the bedside.

"Quickly lie down and take a nap. You still have to do physical labor tonight. Even the strongest body can't take it."

"Now? Ya Ya isn't asleep yet, is it inconvenient?"

Chen Xue blushed and slapped him.

"What are you saying? I told you to go and rest. Aren't you tired from going out to sea tonight?"

Wu Sui smiled and walked to the bedside: "Then why do we need to differentiate? Going to sea must be tiring."

"You're being silly. Okay, go get some sleep." She turned to Ya Ya and called out, "Stop playing and let Daddy get some sleep."

Ya Ya looked at Wu Sui, who was lying on the edge of the bed fully clothed, got up, grabbed a small blanket, huffed and puffed as she climbed onto the bed and covered Wu Sui's stomach with it.

"Daddy's tummy won't get cold while he's sleeping."

The little girl mumbled in her childish voice and gently patted Wu Sui's chest with her tiny hand.

While filming, she imitated the way Chen Xue usually coaxed her to sleep, humming along quite well.

Wu Suixin was completely melted by this little gesture, and instinctively scooped the little girl into her arms.

"Wow, our Yaya can even lull her dad to sleep now!"

Ya Ya squirmed and giggled in his arms.

The father and daughter played around on the bed for a while. Chen Xue couldn't stand it anymore, so she came over and carried Ya Ya off the bed.

"Alright, alright, the more you make a fuss, the more energetic you become. Go close your eyes and go to sleep."

Wu Sui grinned, rolled over, and soon began to snore softly.

With something on his mind, Wu Sui didn't sleep soundly.

At 11 p.m., Wu Sui opened his eyes on his own before the alarm clock even went off.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt a gentle breeze on my face.

By the moonlight streaming in through the window, Wu Sui could make out the figure sitting by the bed.

Chen Xue was holding a palm-leaf fan and was fanning away the mosquitoes for him.

Seeing that he was awake, Chen Xue quickly put down the fan in her hand, turned around and brought over a basin of warm water, with a towel already placed beside her.

"You're awake? Wash your face and refresh yourself. I'll go get you something to eat."

Wu Sui took the towel and rubbed her face. The warm steam woke her up completely.

Stepping into the outer room, a steaming bowl of seafood noodles sat on the table, topped with two poached eggs, and a freshly brewed cup of hot tea was placed beside it.

Wu Sui felt incredibly comfortable. He quickly slurped up the noodles and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Honey, I'm leaving now. Lock the door."

Grabbing her coat, Wu Sui pushed open the door and went out into the yard.

When they arrived at their elder brother's house, Wu Gang and Chen Yang had already gotten ready and were squatting at the door smoking.

"Big brother, Xiao Yang, let's go."

The three met up and headed straight for the village's dock under the cover of night.

As soon as Wu Sui approached the dock, he sensed something was wrong.

At this time of day, the pier is usually very quiet except for the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

But today, the dock was bustling with people, beams of flashlights swept across the sea, and the roar of diesel engines rose and fell.

"What's going on? The tide isn't even that high today, so why are so many people going out to sea?" Wu Sui stopped in his tracks.

Wu Gang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and sighed.

"It's all because of our longline fishing yesterday."

"The villagers have noses that are sharper than dogs; the news of our making money has already spread far and wide."

Chen Yang chimed in from the side: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, this afternoon when I was wandering around the village, several people pulled me aside and asked where we set the trap."

Wu Gang pointed to several navigation lights that had already been turned off and moved far away on the sea.

"In the past, villagers were afraid that they wouldn't be able to catch any fish during the fishing ban and wouldn't even earn back the cost of fuel, so they would tie their boats to the dock and let them gather dust."

"Now that they hear we made 20,000 yuan in one night, their eyes are all red with envy."

"Look over there, four or five boats have already left ahead of time."

"The rest of them are probably waiting for us here, wanting to follow us and see where we set up our longline fishing."

After hearing this, Wu Sui sneered.

These people are unwilling to take risks themselves; they see others enjoying the spoils and want to follow suit.

The sea isn't your own fishpond; where the fish are depends entirely on your own abilities.

"Let them follow. The sea is so vast, I want to see how far they can go."

"Brother, hurry up and get on the boat. Let's find a place to cast our longline first, and then go to the nearby islands. We can't waste time on the boat."

The three quickly boarded the ship, and Wu Gang climbed into the cockpit and started the engine.

The fishing boat sputtered away from the dock and headed out to sea.

Wu Sui stood on the deck, arranging the longline fishing rod.

They hadn't gone far when Chen Yang ran up from the stern of the boat.

"Brother-in-law, there's a boat following us, and it's sticking really close."

Wu Sui walked to the stern of the boat and squinted as he looked back.

On the pitch-black sea, two searchlights, like two eyes, were relentlessly tracking the wake of their ship.

The distance is less than two hundred meters.

Wu Gang leaned half his body out of the cockpit and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Second brother, I see clearly now, the one on the left is Chen Fugui's boat, and the one on the right is a tin boat for squid fishing!"

Chen Fugui?

Wu Sui frowned.

Since Chen Fugui and Lai Er had their fight on the mudflats, the man has become much more well-behaved and hasn't bothered the Wu family again.

Wu Sui hadn't taken this person seriously at all.

But judging from the situation today, Chen Fugui didn't sleep in the middle of the night and was chasing after us in his boat, clearly targeting us.

"Brother-in-law, should I use a megaphone to yell at them?" Chen Yang said angrily.

"What are you yelling for?" Wu Sui waved his hand. "This sea belongs to the public. People can sail wherever they want. They won't listen to you even if you yell."

"What should we do then? Just let them follow us like this? Once we get there and we cast our line, they'll definitely be right there beside us."

Chen Yang was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands together.

Although the area around the cliffs and reefs is large, it can't withstand several boats casting their nets at the same time.

There are only so many fish. If someone else catches one more, you earn one less.

Wu Sui touched the stubble on his chin, his mind racing.

Chen Fugui is a typical person who is envious. In addition, we had a grudge before, so we must not let him gain any advantage today.

Want to follow? Then I'll let you follow as much as you want.

Wu Sui turned and walked to the cockpit.

"Brother, how far are we from the cliff and reef area?"

"At the current speed, it will take another hour or so." Wu Gang stared at the compass.

"Don't go to the cliff, change your route."

Wu Gang was taken aback: "Change route? Where to?"

Wu Sui reached out and tapped on the nautical chart on the control panel.

"Go to the place where even ghosts scare you."

Wu Gang gasped, his hand trembled, and he almost veered the steering wheel off course.

"Second brother, are you crazy? Ghost's Sorrow is full of hidden reefs, and the current is strong enough to capsize a small boat!"

"Our boat is only twelve meters long. Going there in the middle of the night is practically suicide!"

Wu Sui glanced at the boat still following behind him and chuckled.

"The more dangerous the better, drive that way."
