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

The group dug for a while longer.

The sky gradually cleared up, and the temperature rose immediately.

Wu Sui took out his phone and glanced at it; it was almost noon.

He turned to look at Su Ruoxue and Old Chen.

Su Ruoxue's fair face was covered in mud, and the sweat on her forehead soaked her hair, which clung to her cheeks.

Old Chen was panting heavily, clutching his back, clearly exhausted.

Wu Sui felt a little guilty.

I originally brought them to the beach to relax and have fun, but I ended up using them as laborers all morning.

If word got out that the eldest daughter of the Su family was digging mud in a fishing village, it would probably shock everyone.

"Alright, alright, stop it!" Wu Sui shouted.

Wang Feng was digging with great enthusiasm, and with each shovel stroke, he kicked up a patch of mud without even looking up.

"Stop what? There's still plenty down there. Don't worry about me, second brother, I can keep going for another two hours."

In Wang Feng's eyes, this wasn't digging for blood clams; it was clearly picking up money.

"Sister-in-law, it's almost noon, time to go back and cook!" Wu Sui walked over and grabbed the handle of the shovel.

"Look at Boss Su and Old Chen, they're guests, and they haven't even been given a bite to eat. Are they trying to work them to death?"

Wang Feng then realized what was happening and turned around to see that Su Ruoxue and Old Chen were indeed exhausted.

Especially Su Ruoxue, she must be in a terrible state right now.

"Oh dear, it's my fault, I was so busy grabbing at the money."

Wang Feng quickly threw down the shovel and wiped the mud off her hands on her clothes.

"Boss Su, Mr. Chen, let's take a break. Let's go home and rest. My mother-in-law is cooking at home. Let's go back quickly!"

Su Ruoxue straightened up and rubbed her sore shoulders. Although she was tired, her eyes were filled with excitement.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. This is much more enjoyable than sweating it out at the gym."

Everyone started packing up their tools.

Wu Sui picked up the remaining half-bucket of blood clams, walked up to Su Yu, and muttered a few words to himself.

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he grinned mischievously.

"Leave it to me."

Carrying the half-bucket of blood clams, he didn't follow the main group. Instead, he took a detour and ran towards the mudflats at the edge of the mangrove forest.

Chen Fugui was wading around looking for crab holes, but after a long time he hadn't found any, and he was getting impatient.

Su Yu deliberately moved closer and waved the bucket in front of Chen Fugui.

"Uncle, your beachcombing skills are terrible. Look at these blood clams I dug up, they're huge!"

Chen Fugui originally didn't want to pay attention to this silly boy from out of town, but when he heard "blood clam," his ears perked up.

He looked down at the contents of Su Yu's bucket.

It has radial ribs, a thick shell, and is about the size of an egg.

This isn't some lousy clam, it's a top-quality wild blood clam!

Chen Fugui's eyes instantly turned red, as if they were bloodshot.

He just saw that Wu Sui had several bags on his cart, all of them filled with blood clams.

That's almost ten thousand yuan!

"You guys were just digging for this stuff? Not clams?"

"I don't know either, but I have some anyway. My second brother said these things are valuable, but I don't know how much they're worth. I was thinking of trading some with you for a crab..."

Chen Fugui really wanted to switch, but the problem was he hadn't even seen a single crab hair.

"Um... I... by the way, why did you stop digging? Has it all been dug up?"

Su Yu waved his hand dismissively, "How could that be? It's such a big place."

"I definitely need to go back for lunch at midday. I wouldn't be interested in something that costs tens of yuan per kilogram."

"Uncle, do you have any crabs? If not, I'll go find someone else to exchange them for."

When Chen Fugui heard that there was still a large area to be dug up, he immediately perked up.

Come to think of it, everyone in the village knows that the Wu family has a silly young man from Shanghai as a relative.

Judging by his clothes, they weren't cheap. It's normal for a young master from a big city to look down on such things.

But he can actually like it!

It costs over twenty yuan per kilogram. If you can dig up dozens of kilograms, it's equivalent to several months' income.

Su Yu didn't press the matter. Seeing that he didn't have any crabs, he turned around and left with a look of disdain.

Seeing him leave, Chen Fugui no longer cared about the blue crabs and ran wildly towards the hard sand beach that Wu Sui and the others had just dug, afraid that if he was too slow, he wouldn't even get a sip of soup.

Watching Chen Fugui's retreating figure, Su Yu slapped his thigh with delight, picked up the bucket, and ran back to meet up with Wu Sui.

Over here, Wu Sui pushed a cart loaded with goods that looked like a small mountain, swaggering along the dirt road on the mudflats towards the village.

Enemy road is narrow.

They hadn't gone far when they bumped into Lai Er and his cronies.

Lai Er wasn't feeling well either. Although he had defeated Chen Fugui, his nose was bleeding and his clothes were covered in mud. He was sitting on the rocks, smoking in silence.

Seeing Wu Sui pushing a cart full of things over, Lai Er and his men stood up, their eyes filled with greed, but they dared not go forward.

As Wu Sui approached Lai Er, the hand pushing the cart suddenly trembled.

"Ouch!"

A bucket hanging on the handlebars tipped over.

With a whoosh.

Half a bucket of blood clams rolled out and scattered all over the ground.

Wang Feng reacted quickly, and started yelling and cursing.

"Second brother, are you blind? You're so clumsy."

"These blood clams cost over twenty yuan a pound; every single one that falls is a fortune. Pick them up quickly."

Wu Sui slowly bent down, grabbed handfuls of blood clams and threw them into the bucket, ignoring the few that fell on the ground.

"Alright, sister-in-law, hurry home and eat, I'm starving."

After saying that, Wu Sui pushed the cart and walked away without looking back.

Lai Er, who was sitting on the nearby reef, froze completely.

He stared at the few remaining blood clams on the ground and swallowed hard.

"Second Brother... what did Wu Sui just say? Blood Toad?" a thug next to him stammered.

Lai Er got up and rushed over, picked up a blood clam from the ground and glanced at it.

"Holy crap, it really is a blood toad! It's so big, it's definitely worth a lot of money."

He turned his head and looked at the deep tire tracks left by Wu Sui's cart on the beach.

The tire tracks stretched all the way to the east, pointing directly to that hard sandy beach that no one usually goes to.

"What are you waiting for? Grab your tools and follow the tire tracks. We're going to strike it rich today!"

Lai Er waved his hand, and he and a few thugs rushed over along the tire tracks like hungry wolves smelling blood.

Wu Sui pushed the cart ahead, listening to the noise behind him, and chuckled.

Su Yu leaned closer and gave a thumbs up.

"Second brother, you're too mean."

"Chen Fugui is digging over there, and Lai Er's gang rushes over. These two groups already had a feud, and now that they've clashed, won't they just fight like dogs, tearing each other apart?"

Wu Sui shrugged, his tone relaxed.

"The sea belongs to everyone, so it doesn't matter who digs it or not. When we eat meat, we should always leave some soup for our fellow villagers."

"As for how to divide the soup, that's up to their own skills."

Wang Feng, listening from behind, couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Second brother, you've got more tricks up your sleeve than honeycomb briquettes."

The family walked towards the old house, chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the "bloody battle" that was about to break out on the hard beach.
