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

The worker put on gloves and picked them up one by one into the basket.

"These things have poisonous thorns; one prick will keep you in pain for half a month, and you'll need antivenom at the hospital. Be careful!"

Lin Tao gave him some more instructions, still worried.

Chen Yang boasted from the side, "Brother Tao, I almost went down to catch it with my bare hands last night. Luckily, my brother-in-law shouted, otherwise I would be lying in the hospital today."

Lin Tao glared at him: "You still have a lot to learn. There are a lot of poisonous things in the sea, so be careful."

Chen Yang chuckled, not caring at all.

"These stonefish are big, and the market price is about 280 now. I'll round it up for you, 300."

48 jin (24 catties), that's 14400 yuan.

Chen Yang kept track of the numbers and calculated the income for this time. All of these added up to almost 28,000 yuan.

He swallowed hard, then turned to look at the tricycle parked in the middle of the yard. "And that big truck."

It took four grown men working together to lift the 150-pound grouper onto the scale.

"152 jin (76 kg), at 350 yuan per jin, that's a total of 53200 yuan!"

After pressing the calculator button one last time, Lin Tao looked at the total on the screen and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Ah Sui, the total is 80900."

When Lin Tao announced the number, the entire purchasing station fell silent instantly.

Wu Gang didn't even feel the pain when the cigarette butt burned his hand.

Chen Yang jumped up and grabbed Wu Gang's arm, shaking him violently.

"Eighty thousand! Brother, eighty thousand! We made eighty thousand in one night!"

Wu Sui lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"good."

Lin Tao rolled his eyes: "Not bad? You're faster than robbing a bank. I've been running this purchasing station for seven or eight years, and I've never seen anyone luckier than you."

He shook his head enviously, turned around and went upstairs to get the cash, also handing Wu Sui a small handbag.

Wu Sui didn't stand on ceremony, took it and burst out laughing.

"Wow, Brother Tao, that's impressive! It's even a designer brand."

Lin Tao rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Get lost, get lost, get lost! What brand names? You're carrying so much money in a lousy plastic bag, I'm scared for you. I'll give it to you for free."

"Okay, thanks. Think about the acquisition station thing carefully, and call me when you've figured it out."

Wu Sui beckoned Wu Gang and Chen Yang to walk outside.

He was exhausted after working all night.

When the three returned to the dock, many people were still pointing and whispering about them.

Wu Sui ignored these people and set off by boat towards the village dock.

"Brother-in-law, my sister is at the dock."

When Wu Sui heard Chen Yang's voice, he looked up and saw Chen Xue and Ya Ya standing guard at the dock like statues waiting for their husbands.

When Chen Xue saw Wu Sui waving at her, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She got up early to prepare breakfast, but after waiting for a long time, no one came back.

Wang Feng was so dizzy from her dazzling presence that she simply told her to come out and wait.

Now that we've finally seen the ship return, a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders.

Ya Ya also saw Wu Sui and giggled, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy..."

Once the boat was moored, Wu Sui jumped ashore. There, she saw Ya Ya in Chen Xue's arms. Seeing Chen Xue's red eyes, Ya Ya quickly asked...

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I...I'm scared...Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Wu Sui glanced at the sun, which was already quite high in the sky. He knew he had returned late today.

"I'm sorry, there were a lot of orders today, which caused the delay. I'll call home as soon as I get back to let you know I'm safe next time."

Chen Xue shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just worried. It's good that you're back."

After Wu Gang unloaded the things from the boat, Chen Xue helped carry them, and even Ya Ya carried a bucket home.

Wang Feng was washing clothes in the yard when she saw them return. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron and went to greet them.

"How's it going? How's the harvest today? 2000 hooks, definitely better than yesterday, right?"

Wu Gang chuckled and said, "Great, absolutely great."

Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to tease Chen Xue.

"What did I tell you? Evil lives on for a thousand years. With the second son's personality, he'll definitely live to be a hundred. You're just worrying for nothing."

Wu Sui: ...

It's strange how my sister-in-law says such nice things.

When Wu Jianguo returned from outside and saw the three of them, he gave Wu Sui a wink without saying a word, then turned and went inside.

Wu Sui casually tossed the bag of money onto the table in the yard and followed him inside.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Wu Jianguo glanced outside the door and gestured for Wu Sui to sit down.

"Chen Fugui's boat was hit?"

Wu Sui was somewhat surprised that the news had spread throughout the village so quickly.

They only spent two hours going to the purchasing station and coming back, and then someone came to cause trouble for the old man.

"Yes." He didn't hide anything and recounted how Chen Fugui and Li Daqiang had gone out to sea with them.

Wu Jianguo sighed, but did not blame him. Instead, he patted Wu Sui on the shoulder.

"Okay, I got it. If anyone says anything, ignore them. We're in the right, so we're not afraid of them..."

Just then, Wu Sui's phone suddenly rang.

Wu Sui answered the phone, but before she could speak, Chen Changgui's voice, barely containing his anger, came through the line.

"Ah Sui, something's gone wrong with the land."

Wu Sui's smile faded, and he raised an eyebrow slightly: "Uncle Changgui, what do you mean?"

"We held an expanded meeting of the village committee this morning. Everyone was fine with it, but Chen Fugui's father just wouldn't let it go."

Chen Changgui was panting heavily on the other end of the phone.

He said there was sea sand beneath that saline-alkali land, which was a treasure for the village collective.

"If you want to buy it, you have to pay the price for commercial land, which is 100,000 yuan per acre."

Wu Sui let out a cold laugh.

Chen Fugui had just suffered a setback at sea, and his father was now looking for trouble in the village.

One mu for 100,000, three mu for 300,000 – this is blatant robbery.

"Uncle Changgui, can his opposition alone be effective?"

"The trouble is that Chen Dapao, along with Daqiang's father and several relatives, were making a scene in the village committee office."

Chen Changgui had a terrible headache. "You know my second uncle. He takes advantage of his age and seniority. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Ah Sui, I'm afraid we'll have to put this on hold for a while. I'll think of something after things have calmed down."

Wu Sui squinted and stood up.

"It's okay, I'm just worried."

"Uncle Changgui, are you still at the village committee?"

"Yeah, they're still making a ruckus in the yard, they've even blocked the gate."

"Okay, tell them to wait," Wu Sui said calmly. "I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianguo noticed his pale face and knew something must have gone wrong.

"Second brother, what's wrong? Is Chen Fugui's family causing trouble on the land?"

Wu Sui smiled, her tone relaxed.

"It's alright, the old coffin stuffer can't cause any trouble. I'll go take care of it. You guys eat first, don't wait for me."

After saying that, Wu Sui turned around and walked out of the house, striding towards the village committee office.
