Linghua's face was deathly pale, and her voice was trembling.

Going out to sea is no joke.

She was afraid that if things didn't go well, Wu Sui would end up disliking her husband.

What I fear most is going out to sea in this kind of weather; what if a group of people encounters a storm...

Wu Lei is setting sail on a new boat this time. If the boat doesn't yield a good harvest because his own husband is sailing it, not only will they feel guilty, but no one in the village will dare to let Wu Lei go on a boat in the future.

Don't say the villagers are superstitious; everyone has lived like this for years, and who doesn't want good luck?

Wang Feng waved her hand and took a deep breath.

"Nothing happened at all. My second son just called. The boat is almost at the town dock, and everyone is safe."

"The second brother also said that today's harvest was huge, and the water tank couldn't hold it all."

"I figured you were just overthinking things at home, so I rushed over to tell you something, so you don't scare yourself unnecessarily."

Linghua stood there stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

After holding my breath all day, I finally let it out.

She grabbed Wang Feng's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you so much."

"Alright, alright, stop this nonsense. I still need to go to Uncle Chen's house to deliver the news. Hurry up and find Wu Lei some clean clothes. He must be smelly after being at sea all day."

Wang Feng withdrew her hand, turned around and ran back to Uncle Chen's house.

Uncle Chen's family is in a similar situation.

Old Chen sat in the yard smoking silently, while Chen Yongqiang's mother paced anxiously inside the house.

Hearing the confirmation from Wang Feng, the elderly couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Chen even went to the backyard and caught an old hen, which he then asked Wang Feng to take back.

8 pm.

The town's dock was still brightly lit.

Although it was after the typhoon, the pier was bustling with activity.

The fishing boats that returned today had a good catch, and fishmongers of all sizes were waiting at the dock to collect their catch.

Several small fishing boats that had been fishing with longlines had just docked and were unloading their catch.

Several fishmongers went over to take a look, and all shook their heads.

"They're all worthless small fish and shrimp. The typhoon just passed, and the water is too murky. You can't catch anything good near the shore."

"Yeah, we waited all night for nothing. Looks like we'll have to go back empty-handed again today."

Just as everyone was complaining, a ship's horn suddenly sounded from the distant sea.

People on the dock all turned to look.

The beams of searchlights swept across the sea, and two fishing boats were breaking through the darkness, slowly sailing towards the dock.

"Holy crap, whose ship is that? It's so extravagant!"

A sharp-eyed fishmonger stared at the boat and immediately spoke up.

"It's Wu Lao Er's boat. Goodness, it's drafting so deep, is it going to burst again?"

Wu Sui has recently become a celebrity at the dock.

Others who use longline fishing can only catch a hundred or so pounds of fish a day at most.

Wu Suidao's harvest was good; one trip yielded a harvest equivalent to half a month's income for others.

If it weren't for what happened to Chen Fugui, many people would have wanted to follow Wu Sui and share in his good fortune.

A fat man next to him spat and shook his head repeatedly.

"Nonsense, the typhoon just passed, the water is murky, what good catch could they possibly make? They'll probably just end up with a boatload of worthless fish to make up the numbers."

As the crowd was discussing, Lin Tao, along with two of his men, each riding a tricycle, forced their way through the crowd.

Lin Tao, covered in sweat, jumped off the tricycle and strode onto the deck.

"Ah Sui, you're finally back."

He wiped the sweat from his face and came closer, panting heavily.

"It's hard to explain over the phone, so what good stuff did you get your hands on?"

Wu Sui gestured with his chin toward the direction of the live water tank.

"Go see for yourself."

Wu Gang and Chen Yang had been itching to get started for a long time.

The two walked to the edge of the live water tank and yanked it open.

Lin Tao peeked inside and froze on the spot, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

The live water tank was teeming with large, thrashing fish.

Bright red sea bream, red snapper, and green grouper... were all struggling desperately in the water.

Lin Tao realized what was happening and turned to curse Wu Sui.

"Ah Sui... are you... are you stupid?"

Lin Tao pointed at the live water tank, spitting as he spoke anxiously.

"Why didn't you explain this clearly over the phone? There's so much stuff!"

"This live water tank is so crowded; if the fish die from lack of oxygen, have you even considered how much money you'll lose?"

What can Wu Sui do?

He pointed to the sea, "You know how bad the signal is at sea; it's a miracle if you can even get through. I was going to say a few more words, but then the call was cut off."

Lin Tao was speechless, so he just grumbled casually.

I mainly feel sorry for these fish; I'm afraid they'll become worthless if they die.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and load the fish. Be quick and load the live ones first."

Two men hurriedly carried large plastic baskets onto the boat, and Wu Gang and the others went over to help.

Basket after basket of fish were carried onto the dock.

The fishermen and fishmongers watching the spectacle were all dumbfounded.

A series of gasps erupted from the crowd.

"Holy crap, these bruises must weigh at least five pounds!"

"My goodness, that basket is full of Red Friends grapes? This basket alone is worth at least two or three thousand yuan!"

"Old Wu has struck it rich this time. This isn't fishing; it's practically scooping money out of the sea!"

The fat fishmonger who had just declared there was no good stuff was now flushed and squeezed to the front, reluctant to leave.

"This isn't right," the fat man said, pointing to the basket on the ground. "Could this have been hauled up by trawling? How can longline fishing catch this much?"

The tall, thin guy immediately retorted.

"Are you out of your mind? How can you use such a mixed variety of species in a trawl net? This was definitely pulled up by longline fishing!"

Everyone looked at Wu Sui, their eyes red.

The typhoon had just passed, and while others couldn't even make back their fuel costs, Wu Sui managed to bring back a boatload of "gold bars."

After the fish in the live water tank were unloaded, it was time for Wu Gang's fish to be unloaded.

Although not as valuable as new ships, there are still quite a few of them, and the three tricycles have already made seven or eight trips back and forth.

That wasn't all; Wu Sui then had all the fresh mackerel and sea bass from the cold storage brought out.

After more than a dozen trips, not only Wu Sui, but even Wang Dazhu was finding it hard to keep up.

"Brother Tao, do you think a boss as big as you could buy a truck?"

Lin Tao looked at the last tricycle fully loaded and was so happy that his eyes were practically popping out of his head, completely ignoring Wu Sui's comment.

He bought this batch of goods today and will resell them in the city; he'll make a good profit.

Lin Tao took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them out to his colleagues who were watching eagerly at the dock.

"Dear customers, if you want to buy good fish, come to my shop early tomorrow and I'll give you a discount!"

Although his colleagues were incredibly envious, they still offered their congratulations.

After greeting everyone with a smug look on his face, Lin Tao turned and waved to Wu Sui.

"Let's go, Ah Sui, let's go back to the shop to have some tea and settle the accounts."

This amount tonight is not small; we need to calculate it carefully.

"Brother Tao, don't worry."

Wu Sui stood on the ship's side and called out to Lin Tao, who was about to disembark.
