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

After lunch, Wang Feng and Chen Xue washed the dishes in the kitchen.

Wu Sui called Wu Gang, Chen Yang, and Wang Dazhu to a shady corner of the yard and offered each of them a cigarette.

"Big brother, Xiaoyang, Dazhu, I have something to tell you."

The three quickly huddled together: "Brother Sui, tell me, are we going to take care of someone?"

Wu Sui kicked him irritably: "What are you doing? This is a society governed by law."

He exhaled a smoke ring and lowered his voice: "This afternoon, the three of you, ride your motorcycles around the village, go wherever there are lots of people."

"And then?" Wu Gang scratched his head.

Then we'd go out for a smoke and chat.

"Take Wu Sui for example. He's making money now, but he can't stand seeing the villagers still living in poverty."

Wu Sui paused, looking at the three of them.

"The key point is that I want to participate in this village chief election. I have a plan to lead the whole village to get rich."

Upon hearing this, all three of them were stunned.

Wu Gang's eyes widened: "Ah Sui, you really want to be the village chief? That's a thankless job, with only a small monthly allowance. It's better to go out to sea."

Wang Dazhu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Brother Sui, we're about to pick up the big ship, we don't have time to worry about those village matters."

Wu Sui smiled and said, "Who said I was really going to take it?"

Chen Yang, quick-witted, chuckled.

"I understand!"

"Brother-in-law, this is like Xiang Zhuang performing a sword dance, his true intention is to target Liu Bang!"

"You're trying to scare that old bastard Chen Changgui and force him to give up the land!"

Wu Sui gave Chen Yang an approving look: "You're quite clever, kid."

"Chen Changgui is holding onto the homestead because he wants to gain benefits after the leadership reshuffle."

"He's not a bad person, just a bit greedy."

"What is he most afraid of right now? He's most afraid of someone taking his place."

"Our family is currently riding high on the success of our venture. If I just spread the word, the villagers will definitely have something to say about it."

"Chen Changgui will definitely not sit still once he hears the news."

Wu Gang suddenly realized what was going on and patted his chest.

"Okay, leave this to me. I'll go find A-Lei and Yong-Qiang later and let them go out and brag a bit."

Wu Sui went back into the house, grabbed a few packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and tossed them to the group.

"Remember, don't be too explicit. Keep it ambiguous and let the villagers guess."

It was past 2 p.m., and the sun was blazing.

Under the big banyan tree at the village entrance, many villagers are still gathered to cool off.

"Rat-a-tat-tat..."

A familiar motorcycle sound came from the distance.

Wu Gang, with Chen Yang in his car, swaggered to a stop under the banyan tree.

"Hey, Gangzi, taking your buddies for a ride again?" an old man joked.

Wu Gang grinned, turned off the motorcycle, strode over, opened a pack of cigarettes, and started handing them out to everyone he met.

"Come on, Uncle, have a good cigarette."

"Aunt Li, are you eating sunflower seeds? Here, have some candy."

Chen Yang pulled a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and forced them on several women nearby.

The villagers looked at the cigarettes and milk candy in their hands, wondering what the two were doing.

The Wu family is really extravagant now, even giving out cigarettes in bulk!

"Gangzi, your son Sui has really struck it rich lately! That motorcycle must be worth at least several thousand yuan, right?"

Aunt Li, who had been sour just moments before, was now all smiles.

Wu Gang sighed dramatically, "I didn't make a fortune, just some luck and a little money, but..."

He deliberately paused, lit a cigarette, and took a big drag.

"But what?" The villagers' appetites were whetted.

Chen Yang chimed in from the side, "Sigh, my brother-in-law is a kind-hearted man."

"He was talking to us at lunchtime, saying that he wasn't really rich. He felt bad seeing everyone in the village still living in dilapidated houses and not even being able to afford meat."

The villagers rolled their eyes inwardly.

Who's feeling the chill? Who can't afford meat anymore?

Do you really think everyone is like your Wu family used to be, with a good-for-nothing slacker?

But now that Wu Sui is making money, everyone only dares to complain in their hearts.

Seeing Chen Yang say this, Wu Gang went along with him and began to perform.

"Sigh, our village is still too poor. If my second son were the village chief, he definitely wouldn't let such good resources go to waste."

"I'm telling you all, but don't tell anyone else. Ah Sui said our village has a long coastline, and you can make a lot of money whether you do tourism or aquaculture."

"It's a pity he's not the village chief; he doesn't have the authority to promote the village chief..."

The people in the crowd exchanged glances, all understanding the meaning behind Wu Gang's words.

"Gangzi, is A-Sui going to run for village chief?"

"Really?"

Wu Gang waved his hand, pretending to be disappointed.

"Hey, Ah Sui was just saying. He's still too young. It's not suitable for him."

"However, if my second son were the village chief, he could make money by leading everyone out to sea to fish, not to mention anything else."

"If we continue with livestock farming, every household will definitely be riding a motorcycle within three years..."

These words were like a bomb thrown into a pond.

Within three years, every household will be riding a motorcycle!

The promise was made so grandly and perfectly, and Wu Sui now has the ability to fulfill it, so people have no choice but to believe it.

Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said she didn't even want the sunflower seeds anymore.

"Oh my, I've always thought Ah Sui was a good kid, he's quick-witted."

"What's there to be afraid of when you're young? Young people are bold, and that's how they can lead the villagers to make money."

"If he were to run for village chief, I'd be the first to vote for him!"

"Yes, Chen Changgui has been doing this for so many years, and apart from his own family building a small villa, we haven't even had a sip of soup."

"Exactly! Ah Sui is capable and has connections. Following him will definitely ensure a life of luxury!"

The villagers chattered amongst themselves, as if Wu Sui becoming the village chief would guarantee them all a fortune.

Wu Gang and Chen Yang exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy.

This fire has now been completely ignited.

The news spread faster than the wind.

In less than two hours, the news that Wu Sui was running for village chief and would lead the whole village to get rich spread throughout the village.

Chen Changgui was planning which town leader he should give a gift to during the leadership transition.

His wife rushed in from outside.

"Old Chen, something terrible has happened!"

Chen Changgui frowned and put down his teacup: "What's all the fuss about? Is the sky falling?"

"The sky hasn't fallen, but you're going to lose your position!"

The village chief's wife, panting heavily, recounted the rumors she had heard in the village.

After hearing this, Chen Changgui slammed the lid of his teacup onto the table with a loud bang.

"Wu Lao Er wants to run for village chief?" He stood up abruptly, his face ashen.

In the past, if Wu Sui, that good-for-nothing, had said he wanted to run for village chief, he would have taken it all as a joke.

But things are different now.

Wu Sui has had a stroke of good luck lately, making a lot of money, and everyone in the village is envious.

The villagers are actually very simple; whoever can help them make money, they will recognize that person as their village chief.

If Wu Sui really wants to compete for the position of village chief, it's hard to say whether anyone will vote for him.

"This kid, he's usually so unassuming, why did he suddenly come up with this idea?"

Chen Changgui paced back and forth in the room, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
