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

Wu Lei was shocked. If he went to Wu Sui's house to make a scene, the misunderstanding would be huge.

How will he work on the ship after this?

Wu Lei rushed forward and hugged Linghua from behind.

"You come back here!"

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the veins on his neck were bulging.

Linghua flailed her broom in mid-air and kicked her legs wildly.

"Let me go! I'm going to ask Wu Lao Er today what heinous things he led you to do!"

"Why can't you reason with this woman!" Wu Lei used all his strength to half-drag and half-carry Linghua back into the house, and then pressed her down into a chair.

"Sit down properly!" Wu Lei panted, pointing at the money on the table.

"I swear, this money is absolutely clean. If there's even the slightest bit of dirt on it, may I be hit by a car and die!"

Linghua was stunned by his solemn oath, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground.

"Really...really earned that from fishing?" Linghua's eyes were still red, and her chest was heaving violently.

"Nonsense!" Wu Lei pulled over a bench, sat down, and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Do you really think Ah Sui is still that good-for-nothing? He's made something of himself now!"

Linghua gave a cold laugh.

"Promising? Earning 420 yuan a day in dividends, do the math and see how much a whole boatload sold for?"

"It's the fishing ban period now, and you're secretly casting your nets? That's illegal too."

Wu Lei took a deep breath, really not knowing how to explain it to his wife.

He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't experienced it himself.

"Early this morning, we set sail and first encountered a group of mantis shrimps being chased ashore by big fish. We collected more than 200 pounds of mantis shrimps alone."

"Then I tried longline fishing, and guess what? It was absolutely amazing!"

Wu Lei started gesturing excitedly as he spoke.

"When the hook came up, it was full of grouper, red snapper, and large red sea bream!"

"Ah Sui's fishing hooks are never empty; the live water tank can't even hold them all!"

Linghua frowned as she listened.

"Stop bragging. The typhoon just passed, the water's so murky, where would so many big fish line up to bite?"

"You don't believe me? There's something even more amazing!"

Wu Lei slapped his thigh and said, "When we were reeling in the line, we found a baby sperm whale tangled in the fishing line."

"That kid Ah Sui is incredibly brave; he jumped into the sea with a knife to save her."

Linghua was startled and blurted out, "Is he crazy? That big fish could easily kill him with its tail!"

"That's what we thought too," Wu Lei nodded repeatedly. "But guess what? That sperm whale was intelligent and obediently let Ah Sui cut the thread."

"Later, it even turned its belly over so that Ah Sui could help it tap the barnacles."

Linghua's mouth was slightly open, and she looked at Wu Lei with the expression of someone looking at a madman.

Wu Lei became more and more excited as he spoke, and couldn't stop.

"That's not all. When we were preparing to return, the baby sperm whale came with its parents."

"That old sperm whale slapped a manta ray weighing several hundred pounds onto our deck with its tail."

"Ah Sui said it was a thank-you gift; I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

Linghua was stunned.

"A stingray weighing several hundred pounds!" Wu Lei gestured to indicate its size.

"Ah Sui took a knife and sliced ​​it open, peeling out a pair of gills from the fish. The owner of the town's purchasing station said he'd take it to the city to sell. That 80,000 yuan didn't even include the price of those gills!"

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Linghua sat blankly in the chair, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

After a while, Linghua suddenly stood up and reached out to touch Wu Lei's forehead.

"Are you running a fever?" She frowned, feeling that her husband was possessed.

"What sperm whale as a gift? Why don't you just say the Dragon King invited you to the Dragon Palace for drinks?"

Wu Lei got impatient and slapped her hand away.

"You woman, why won't you believe me!"

"How am I supposed to believe that?" Linghua rolled her eyes. "It's getting more and more ridiculous. Over 80,000 yuan? Have you ever even seen what 80,000 yuan looks like?"

Wu Lei knew that he couldn't explain it with just words.

He was so anxious that he paced back and forth, when suddenly he remembered what he had brought back. He strode over to the stove and grabbed the plastic bag containing the seafood.

With a "whoosh".

Wu Lei dumped everything from the bag into the large aluminum basin in the yard used for washing clothes.

"Look for yourself, this is what Ah Sui distributed to us, everyone got some!"

Linghua originally thought they were just some cheap fish and shrimp, maybe enough to add to a dish.

But when she peered into the basin, she froze.

There were indeed a few miscellaneous fish in the basin, but the most eye-catching was a large bass that was still lively and jumping around.

The bass was fat and big. It splashed around in the basin a couple of times, splashing water all over Linghua's face.

But it's not over yet.

Underneath the sea bass, there was also a long-legged octopus.

The octopus tentacles were clinging to the edge of the aluminum basin, trying to crawl out.

Linghua, who has lived by the sea for many years, recognized the value of these items at a glance.

"This...this sea bass is so big?"

Linghua swallowed hard and reached out to grab the fish's gills. "This must weigh seven or eight pounds, right?"

Wu Lei proudly raised his chin.

"Of course, it's a wild sea bass, which Ah Sui specially picked out."

Linghua's gaze then turned to the octopuses.

It's currently the fishing ban season, so large fishing boats can't go out to sea.

These long-legged octopuses are difficult to catch normally; the only way to catch them is by fishing at night in a small boat with a hook.

All of these things in the basin weigh at least two or three pounds in total.

"This octopus..." Linghua quickly began to calculate in her mind.

"During the fishing ban, this stuff is very valuable; it can easily sell for thirty or forty yuan per kilogram. These will definitely fetch several tens of yuan!"

And then there's that big bass that weighs seven or eight pounds.

This pot of stuff, if taken to a recycling station, could easily fetch a hundred yuan.

Linghua was completely dumbfounded.

She turned to look at Wu Lei, her voice trembling.

"This...this is really what you caught at sea today?"

"Really." Wu Lei held up three fingers. "If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"

Linghua truly believed it this time.

No one would use seafood worth over a hundred yuan to put on a show and fool her.

Wu Lei breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Linghua's stunned expression.

"Now you believe me? Okay, I'm going to take a shower, the smell on me is awful."

Wu Lei turned and walked into the house, thinking that he could finally eat in peace.

But he had only taken two steps when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

Wu Lei turned around and was startled.

Linghua found a large net bag from somewhere, and with her buttocks sticking out, she deftly stuffed the octopuses from the basin into the net bag.

After stuffing the octopus, she picked up a plastic bucket, put the sea bass inside, and scooped out two ladles of water.

"What are you doing?" Wu Lei asked, his eyes wide.

Linghua stuffed the net into the bucket, picked up the bucket with one hand, and pushed open the courtyard gate with the other.

"Go sell fish!" Linghua said without turning her head.

"These are all good stuff. If they die overnight, we'll lose a fortune!"

"Take them to the dockside recycling station and sell them while they're still fresh!"
