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

Chen Yongqiang's shout stunned everyone.

Wu Lei slapped his thigh and laughed and scolded.

"What's the point of competing? Ah Sui even brought up a big yellow croaker, what are our little fish compared to that? I lose, I'll treat everyone to drinks, okay?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wu Sui waved his hand, giving instructions to everyone.

"Alright, everyone hurry home, take a shower, and change your clothes. Come over to my house for dinner tonight, and we'll have a good drink together."

The group happily agreed and excitedly headed home.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Wang Feng and Chen Xue were sitting on small stools, mending fishing nets with shuttles in their hands.

Hearing the noise, the two looked up.

Upon recognizing the Wu brothers, Wang Feng's brows immediately furrowed.

She stopped what she was doing, got up and quickly walked over, looking the two of them up and down.

"Why are you back so early today? Did the boat break down? Or did you run into some bad luck at sea?"

When we go out to sea, we always arrive home after it's completely dark.

It was still bright outside today, so she couldn't help but think about it.

Chen Xue hurriedly came over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were alright.

"Ah Sui, are you alright?"

Wu Sui didn't reply, but gave Wu Gang a wink.

"Brother, go and close the gate."

Wu Gang understood immediately, put down what he was holding, and turned around to close the door without saying a word.

Wang Feng and Chen Xue exchanged a glance, completely bewildered.

"What are you doing? Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

Wu Sui lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk."

He led the way into the main room.

Wu Gang pulled Wang Feng along behind them, while Chen Xue also went in, completely bewildered.

Old man Chen Jianguo was sitting in the house drinking tea when he saw this scene and sat up straight.

Wu Sui closed the door to the main room, picked up a cup and poured himself a large glass of cold tea before settling comfortably into a chair.

"What on earth is going on? You two, tell me quickly!" Wang Feng said anxiously.

Wu Sui smiled and looked at her family.

"I went out to sea today and caught a wild large yellow croaker."

The room was quiet, and none of the people reacted.

Although large yellow croakers are precious, there's no need to make such a fuss about them.

Wang Feng curled her lip: "What's the big deal? Locking up the doors just because you caught a big yellow croaker? How big is it?"

Wu Sui stretched out his arm and gestured.

"Eighteen catties and seven ounces."

"Clatter".

The shuttle that Wang Feng was holding fell straight to the ground.

Chen Jianguo's hand trembled, and he almost knocked over the teacup.

Chen Xue covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

It's like I'll scream if I take my hand down.

There was not a sound in the main room.

After a long while, Wang Feng gasped in shock.

"Oh my God..." Her voice trembled as she grabbed Wu Gang's arm, her nails digging into his flesh.

"Da Gang, what did A Sui say? How...how heavy?"

Wu Gang grimaced in pain, but still nodded heavily.

"It weighs 18.7 jin (approximately 9.8 catties), and it's still alive. It's already been sent to Lin Tao."

Wang Feng's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the chair next to her.

A wild yellow croaker weighing 18.7 jin?!

What is this concept?

People who grew up by the sea know all too well the significance of this.

This isn't a fish at all, it's a mountain of gold!

"May Goddess Mazu protect us! May Goddess Mazu protect us!"

Wang Feng clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly towards the door.

"Ah Sui, you're so lucky! It's like the Goddess Mazu is chasing after you to feed you!"

"No, you're practically Mazu's own grandson!"

It was only then that Chen Jianguo realized what was happening. He took several deep breaths before he could finally calm himself down.

"Good...good lad...is he really wild?"

Wu Sui smiled and nodded as he looked at his family's reactions.

The news left the whole family feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Not to mention Wang Feng and Chen Xue, even the old fisherman's father had never seen such a big yellow croaker.

Wu Sui smiled and drank another glass of water, waiting for everyone to calm down before continuing to speak.

"This is a big deal; several of the crew members on the ship saw it."

"To prevent them from talking nonsense, I gave each of them a bonus of one thousand yuan."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent once more.

Four guys, one thousand each, that's four thousand dollars.

Four thousand yuan is not a small amount in the village; it's enough to cover a family's expenses for almost half a year.

Wu Gang shrank back, bracing himself for a scolding from his wife.

Unexpectedly, Wang Feng suddenly slapped her thigh and stood up abruptly.

"Well done!"

Instead of scolding her, she cheered loudly.

"Ah Sui, you did a fantastic job!" Wang Feng gave a thumbs up. "This money was worth spending, it absolutely had to be spent!"

Chen Xue frowned, her eyes fixed on Wu Sui's hand.

Seeing that Chen Xue was unhappy, Wang Feng quickly gave Wu Sui a look and went over to take Chen Xue's hand.

"Xiaoxue, don't worry about the money. Although I'm usually stingy, I can tell right from wrong."

She lowered her voice and her tone became serious.

"Such a big yellow croaker, it would fetch an astronomical price if sold."

"If those envious people in the village find out, who knows what dirty tricks they'll pull behind my back."

"The most practical and smartest approach is to shut them up with money. It's called spending a little to ensure a lot of peace, understand?"

Chen Xue snapped out of her daze and nodded silently.

Wu Sui's right hand was wrapped in gauze, with traces of blood seeping through it.

Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

When Wu Sui saw her tears, he awkwardly hid his hands behind his back.

He got up and walked over to Chen Xue, gently wiping away her tears and whispering words of comfort.

"It's nothing, I accidentally cut myself a little while pulling the thread, it's already been bandaged."

"She's bleeding so much and still says she's fine..." Chen Xue's voice choked with heartache.

Wang Feng then realized that Wu Sui was injured.

She glanced at it and saw that it was just a little bandage wrapped around her hand, and she was disgusted.

"Alright, it's nothing for a grown man to get a little hurt, Xiaoxue, don't cry."

She pulled Chen Xue and walked outside.

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen with your sister-in-law. Everyone's coming over for dinner tonight, so we need to have a proper meal together."

As he was leaving, he turned back and winked at Wu Sui, saying, "We're out of wine at home. Go to the convenience store at the dock and buy some."

Chen Xue was pulled away by Wang Feng, who kept turning back to look at her.

Wu Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid of Chen Xue crying, but luckily his sister-in-law covered for him.

The old man glanced at his hands, urged the two brothers to wash them quickly, and didn't think much of it.

There's never an easy time going out to sea.

Getting a little injured is no big deal; coming back safe and sound is the most important thing.

Wu Sui turned around, grabbed her clothes, and went to the backyard to take a nice, comfortable cold shower.

I changed into clean clothes and had just stepped into the front yard when my mother came back from outside.

He held Xiaohu's hand in one hand and Yaya's hand in the other.

The two little ones were covered in sweat, but their eyes lit up when they saw Wu Sui.

"Daddy!" Ya Ya broke free from her grandmother's hand, ran over with her short legs, and hugged Wu Sui's leg.

Xiao Hu ran over and looked up, calling out to his second uncle.

Wu Sui smiled and bent down, picking up Ya Ya with one hand and holding Xiao Hu's hand with the other.

"Come on, let's go to the convenience store with Dad, I'll buy you some yummy treats."

My mother called from behind, "Hurry up and eat! Don't buy them snacks!"

"Okay, I'll go buy a few bottles of good wine to entertain guests tonight."

Wu Sui responded and strolled out of the courtyard with the two children.
