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

On the way back, Wu Sui had already made up his mind.

Although Wang Feng's personality is more suitable than Chen Xue's, Xiao Hu is already in first grade. If the family only relies on his parents to look after him, that mischievous boy will cause all sorts of trouble.

Chen Xue is a high school graduate; she should be able to help with the accounts without any problem.

The accounts at the purchasing station weren't complicated; they mainly handled receiving and selling goods, with no other responsibilities.

With Lin Jing guiding him and teaching him more, he'll definitely learn.

Li Cuihua stopped what she was doing: "Keeping accounts? That's a delicate job. Who in our family can do that?"

Wu Sui ignored her mother's words and kept her eyes on Chen Xue.

"Xiaoxue, I want you to help out at the purchasing station and manage the accounts."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xue froze on the spot.

She pointed to her nose, her face full of disbelief.

"Me? Go and manage the accounts?"

Chen Xue waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, I can't do that!"

"I just coasted through high school. I could manage to do basic groceries and keep track of the bills, but what if I made a mistake at the recycling center with all that money going on every day?"

Chen Xue was genuinely scared.

She is usually good at housework and farm work, but she has no idea how to manage such a large sum of money.

Mr. Wu nodded in agreement: "Ah Sui, Xiao Xue has never done this kind of work before, and she's so gentle. What if something goes wrong..."

"Yes, why don't we send your sister-in-law? She's feisty and fearless," Li Cuihua interjected.

Wang Feng quickly waved her hands: "Mother, please spare me! There are so many troublesome people at the purchasing station every day. If I go there, I'll probably get into a fight!"

That made everyone laugh.

In fact, Wang Feng is indeed suitable to work at the purchasing station.

Doing business involves dealing with people. Although Lin Tao was assigned to manage the accounts, he couldn't just stand by and watch when things got busy.

Seeing Chen Xue's nervous expression, Wu Sui reached out and took her hand.

"Xiaoxue, do you want to go? It's not that difficult."

"It's about keeping track of how many fish we collect each day, how much they cost per pound, and how many we sell."

"Tao's sister, Lin Jing, is there too; she'll teach you."

"When things get busy, just lend a hand."

Wu Sui's voice slowed down.

"Our business is expanding rapidly, and I'll definitely be going out to sea more often in the future."

"Sister-in-law is indeed suitable to go, but Xiaohu and Yaya can't both be looked after by Mother."

"I hope you can help me, okay?"

Chen Xue bit her lip and looked down at Wu Sui's hand.

She could feel Wu Sui's trust in her.

During this period, Wu Sui seemed like a different person; not only was she able to make money, but she was also very family-oriented.

Now, we're entrusting such an important matter to her.

"But..." Chen Xue still hesitated, "I'm really afraid I won't do a good job."

Wu Sui smiled.

"No one is born knowing how to do something; if we don't know how, we'll learn."

"When Xiaohu and Yaya get a little older, my sister-in-law can't be idle either; she'll have to work for me."

These words amused Wang Feng, who then urged Chen Xue to agree.

Wu Sui patted the back of her hand.

"That's settled then."

He didn't give Chen Xue a chance to refuse, stood up, and addressed the crowd.

"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest."

Chen Yang and Wang Dazhu took a shower and happily returned to their room.

Wu's father and Li Cuihua also went back to the inner room. When they left, Li Cuihua kept reminding Chen Xue to be careful when she went to the purchasing station and not to make any mistakes in the accounts.

Wu Sui picked up the sleeping Ya Ya and followed Chen Xue back to the stone house.

Along the way, Chen Xue was still a little worried, and Wu Sui comforted her.

"Don't overthink it, I'm here for you."

Chen Xue raised her head and looked at Wu Sui.

"Ah Sui, do you really think I can do it?"

"Of course it can work, my wife is the smartest."

But plans can't keep up with changes. The next day, Wu Sui and the others went out to sea. Chen Xue was scared, so she asked her sister-in-law to go to town with them.

Before we even reached the entrance of the purchasing station, we heard a commotion coming from ahead.

Chen Xue's heart tightened, and she quickly grabbed Wang Feng's arm.

"Sister-in-law, it seems something has happened at the shop."

Wang Feng was an impatient person. When she heard something was wrong, she grabbed Chen Xue and pushed forward.

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered at the entrance of the purchasing station.

"Make way, everyone make way, what are you all doing crowding here!"

Wang Feng, with her loud voice, forcefully pushed her way through the crowd and pulled Chen Xue inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lin Jing surrounded by three old ladies.

Lin Jing was so angry that her eyes were red, and she was clutching the account book tightly in her hand, arguing loudly with them.

An old woman with triangular eyes pointed at Lin Jing's nose, her saliva almost spraying onto Lin Jing's face.

"You're a heartless girl. The seafood from yesterday was clearly rotten, and you still sold it to us."

"My grandson had diarrhea all night after eating, and he's still getting an IV drip at the clinic."

A plump old lady next to her immediately chimed in, hands on her hips.

"Exactly, not only is it not fresh, but the price is also higher than others. You guys are a rip-off."

"You must refund our money today, and you also have to reimburse our medical expenses!"

Lin Jing stomped her feet in frustration and retorted loudly.

"Are you being unreasonable? The shrimp you bought yesterday were live. I showed them to you; they were jumping around before being bagged. How could they possibly smell bad?"

"Our prices are clearly marked. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it then."

The third tall, thin old lady sat down on the ground and started slapping her thigh.

"Hey everyone, come and see!"

"Are they bullying us old women? Selling toxic seafood and acting so arrogantly, this shop can't stay."

The three old ladies were all louder than the last, giving Lin Jing no chance to speak.

Lin Jing was, after all, a girl, and was forced to retreat repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

After listening to a few words from the side, Wang Feng understood completely.

This isn't a return of goods; this is an attempt to stage an accident and cause trouble.

My temper flared up instantly.

Now that the purchasing station has a stake in it, how can she tolerate it?

He glanced around and casually grabbed a broom from beside the door.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Wang Feng roared and charged forward with a broom in hand.

"A few old bastards crawled out of that family's grave. Did they dismember a corpse or something? Their mouths stank so badly."

"Shamelessly bullying a young woman like that, it's like throwing peppercorns over a wall and numbing the neighbor's throat, don't they have any shame at all?"

That shout was so powerful that it made the whole room buzz.

The three old ladies were stunned by the scolding and turned to look at Wang Feng.

The old woman with triangular eyes glared at him: "Who are you? What's it to you!"

"I'm the owner of this shop!" Wang Feng rolled up her sleeves.

"What? Trying to extort money from me?"

"Don't you even know that while I was ranting and raving in the village, you old codgers were probably scavenging for scraps somewhere!"

Wang Feng swung the broom and swept it directly at the feet of several old women.

"Get out! A bunch of old geezers, running wild here. If you've had enough of living, hurry up and line up at the crematorium. Don't dirty my place."
