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

Chen Fugui truly felt more wronged than Dou E.

He had been eyeing Wu Sui's harvest and had followed along on the boat to test the waters.

In the end, he didn't get a single penny of benefit; he had to repair the boat and personally apologize to the owner.

Now, let alone seeking out Wu Sui's bad luck, he'd rather take a detour than even see Wu Sui.

Seeing his hesitation, Chen Yang and his group became even more convinced that he was the one who reported him, and they became increasingly ruthless in their attacks.

Chen Fugui couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me... I'm going to Widow Li's house!"

"I really went. I worked from eight in the morning until noon before I came out. My back was almost broken. How could I have time to go to town to report it!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Chen Yang was stunned and turned to look at Dazhu and Yongqiang.

Dazhu scratched his head, his face full of disbelief: "That bastard went off to sleep with a woman? And he did it for hours?"

"How is that possible? This old man, can he last that long? I don't believe it."

Chen Fugui was furious. "Aren't you guys focusing on something way too far off?"

What's wrong with a few hours? I'm a grown man.

If it doesn't work the first time, can't we try a few more times?

Chen Yang curled his lip, not believing it either: "You're talking nonsense. Would Widow Li even be interested in you?"

Chen Fugui nodded vigorously inside the sack: "Why wouldn't she like me? I gave her two ribbonfish, and she let me in!"

"I left my red underwear at her house. If you don't believe me, go to Widow Li's house now and look for it."

"If I'm lying, I'll feed you turtles if you make me go out to sea..."

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard him make such a solemn oath.

This has become a huge blunder.

Chen Yang reacted quickly and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"You're lucky you're honest this time. We'll let it go, but if you go to Widow Li again, we'll beat you up again."

"They don't learn good things, but instead learn from others to have affairs. They're shameless."

After saying that, he quickly told the three of them to retreat.

Chen Fugui struggled on the ground for a long time before finally pulling the sack off. Looking at the empty yard, he felt like crying but had no tears.

The three of them ran all the way to Wu Sui's stone house at the west end of the village, their faces falling over in despair.

"What should we do? It seems like we called the wrong person." Wang Dazhu asked honestly, looking annoyed.

Chen Yang was also a little frustrated. He felt like he had vented his anger, but it also left him feeling somewhat stifled.

What if Chen Fugui comes after them?

Chen Yongqiang didn't seem to care and just chuckled.

"Do you think this old guy is on drugs? Otherwise, how could he work for more than three hours?"

Chen Yang and Wang Dazhu both looked at him with strange expressions.

This guy is still thinking about these things?

"What do we do now? I reckon Chen Fugui has definitely guessed it was us. Will this get my brother-in-law into trouble?"

Wang Dazhu also looked dejected: "We shouldn't have been so impulsive. Something happened this morning, and we went to beat someone up tonight. Even a fool could guess what would happen."

"What should we do then? Why don't we go find Brother Sui? He has a lot of ideas."

The three of them thought about it and realized there seemed to be no other way.

If Chen Fugui really sends someone to cause trouble, it will give Wu Sui some mental preparation.

Damn it, this whole thing is a mess...

When Wu Sui opened the door, he saw three people standing at the door with their heads hanging down.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Didn't we say we were going out to sea tomorrow morning?"

The three entered the house and stood in a row, like children who had done something wrong.

With his head down, Chen Yang recounted in detail how he had hit Chen Fugui with a sack, only to realize he had hit the wrong person.

"Brother-in-law, we've gotten ourselves into trouble." Chen Yang's voice trailed off. "What if Chen Fugui makes a scene?"

Chen Yongqiang was also starting to feel a bit scared: "What if he calls the police? What if we get arrested?"

Wang Dazhu panicked too: "Brother Sui, what should we do? I haven't even gotten married yet."

The three of them lowered their heads, waiting for Wu Sui to lose his temper.

After listening, Wu Sui walked to the table, picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of water, and took a sip.

He didn't say anything.

From the inner room came Chen Xue's suppressed laughter, clearly she was holding it in.

Wu Sui coughed once, reminding Chen Xue to tone it down, before putting down his teacup and looking at the three of them.

"Did he see your faces when you were putting the sacks on your clothes?"

Chen Yang quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not. Yongqiang put it on from behind. It was dark, and he couldn't even see what clothes we were wearing."

Wu Sui then asked, "Does he have any evidence to prove that you did it? Did anything get lost at his house?"

Chen Yongqiang patted his chest and assured them, "No, we threw the sticks into the sea, and the sacks are just ordinary sacks, without any markings."

Wu Sui smiled and waved his hand.

"Since no one saw the face and no evidence was left, it wasn't you who did it."

Wu Sui pointed to the door and said, "What's the big deal? Is it worth you coming all the way here in the middle of the night? Go back to sleep. You have work to do tomorrow."

All three of them were dumbfounded.

I thought I was going to get a severe scolding, but this is what I got?

Chen Yang stammered, "Brother-in-law, you...you don't blame us?"

Wu Sui walked over and kicked one of them.

"What nonsense!"

"So be it. Chen Fugui always has a foul mouth, he deserves to get a beating."

"But think things through before you act in the future. Don't act without understanding the situation, or you'll suffer the consequences sooner or later."

The three of them were finally relieved and were so moved that they didn't know what to say.

Wu Sui's protectiveness is so reassuring.

"Alright, get out." Wu Sui shooed them out of the door.

After closing the door, Wu Sui's face fell, and he took out a cigarette and lit it.

If it's not Chen Fugui, then who could it be?

Many people in the village are envious of him, but the one who knows exactly when they will return to port and has directly reported them to the Marine Department by name must be at the pier today.

A formal complaint... Should we ask Wang Hai to investigate?

After thinking about it, he shook his head and rejected the idea.

Wang Hai and he were not related, and their relationship was just so-so.

If the Maritime Safety Administration's access to resources is cut off because of this, it would be a case of more harm than good.

Chen Xue and the others left before he came out.

Seeing Wu Sui frowning as she thought about something, he also sat down at the table.

"Ah Sui, are you wondering who reported it?"

Wu Sui looked up at Chen Xue and chuckled.

"No, I didn't break any rules anyway, so I'm not afraid of being reported."

"So what are you thinking about?"

Wu Suichao glanced into the room and saw that Yaya was fast asleep. He then whispered something in Chen Xue's ear.

"I was thinking, if Chen Fugui can work for more than three hours, I, a grown man, can't be worse than him."

"Xiaoxue, I'm sure I can last longer than Chen Fugui, why don't we give it a try?"

Chen Xue's face immediately turned red, and she glared at Wu Sui with annoyance.

"You're being ridiculous. Aren't you tired? Three more hours..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Sui, panting heavily, picked up Chen Xue and placed her on the table.

Neither of them went into the inner room.

The table in the main room finally stopped shaking when the rooster crowed.

Early the next morning.

Wu Suigang went to the old house after washing up.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the village chief, Chen Changgui, walking towards me with his hands behind his back, a dark face on his face, looking menacing.

Behind him followed Chen Fugui, whose face was swollen like a pig's head.
