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

I don't know if it was because of the fight at the dock earlier that all the bad luck was dispelled.

The Wu family's luck today is unbelievably good.

"Holy crap! Brother-in-law, I pulled another one!"

Chen Yang held a bead the size of a longan in his hand, gleaming with a light pink luster, and showed it off to Wu Sui.

Wang Feng sat opposite, looking at the oyster in her hand, somewhat questioning her life.

"Xiao Yang, are your hands blessed? How many are there already?"

Chen Yang chuckled and put the beads into the bowl next to him.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know either, maybe seven or eight."

Wu Gang stood to the side, silently shucking oysters. His knife moved faster than anyone else's, but he couldn't open a single one.

He looked up at the porcelain bowl and couldn't help but mutter.

"How come this thing recognizes people? I've been driving it for ages, and all I've got is meat."

Wang Feng rolled her eyes at him: "Your hands are like bear paws. Even if there were beads, you would have torn them apart. Hurry up and cut your flesh, don't delay me from finding the treasure."

The family was gathered around several large basins of oysters, working enthusiastically.

We worked until noon, and finally all the oysters were opened.

In the porcelain bowl, oyster beads of various sizes and colors were piled up in a small layer.

Wu Sui leaned over and counted them.

"21 pieces."

Upon hearing this number, the whole family stopped what they were doing.

Only 13 were drawn yesterday, and the number has almost doubled today.

Chen Xue wiped her hands with her apron, moved closer to Wu Sui, and looked at the round beads in the bowl.

"Ah Sui, how much does this cost?"

Wu Sui reached out and fiddled with the beads in the bowl, picking out a few that weren't in good condition.

"A few of them are irregularly shaped and dark in color; they're not worth much."

"The rest of these are all quite large, especially the one Xiaoyang found; it should be worth some money."

Wu Sui pondered for a moment.

"Conservatively speaking, it's definitely worth tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands more?!"

Wang Feng jumped up from the stool.

"Oh my God, haven't we made almost 100,000 yuan in the last two days?"

Wu Jianguo was smoking a pipe on the side. When he heard the number, his hand trembled, and all the ash fell onto his trouser leg.

He quickly patted the bowl twice, stared at the beads in the bowl with wide eyes, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

He's spent his whole life at sea, and he's never seen anyone earn so much just from one trip out to sea.

The second son's luck is almost as good as the income others make in a few days from a big ship.

Zhao Cuihua clasped her hands together and bowed towards the courtyard gate.

"Thank God, we are blessed with good fortune."

Wu Sui smiled as he looked at the family's excited expressions.

"Alright, I'll put the beads away for now. I'll go to town this afternoon to ask around about the market price. You can't just sell these things anywhere; you have to find someone who knows about them."

Wang Feng was full of energy at this moment, and rolled up her sleeves even more.

"Go ahead and do your thing. Xiaoxue and I will make oyster sauce from the remaining oyster meat."

"The few pots I made yesterday tasted incredibly delicious, a hundred times better than what you buy in the supermarket."

Chen Xue handed Wu Sui a towel and a basin with heartache: "Go wash up and go to bed."

After saying that, he turned around and went to collect firewood.

Zhao Cuihua stopped Wu Gang and Chen Yang from helping.

"Alright, alright, this is none of your men's business."

"You three stayed up all night, go wash up and go to bed."

The old lady felt sorry for her son and pushed them into the house.

"Making oyster sauce is all smoky and fiery, and you guys can't help with that, so go away."

Wu Sui had already watched his sister-in-law and daughter-in-law make oyster sauce yesterday, so there was really no room for him to interfere.

He took a basin and a towel and went to the backyard to take a cold shower.

When he came out drying his hair, he heard a deafening snoring sound.

Chen Yang lay sprawled on the bamboo bed in the main room, his shoes still on, one leg dangling over the edge of the bed, fast asleep.

Wu Sui walked over, took off Chen Yang's shoes, moved his legs back onto the bed, and threw a thin blanket on his stomach.

"Hey, youth is great, you can sleep with anyone you want."

He shook his head and walked to another bed to lie down.

The moment my head hit the pillow, a wave of exhaustion washed over me, but my mind was unusually clear.

He put his hands behind his head, looked at the roof beams, and began to plan what to do next.

The shipyard's 17-meter-long vessel won't be delivered until the end of next month.

The delivery of the ship coincided with the start of the fishing season this year.

But there's still more than a month to go, and the whole family can't just sit at home doing nothing.

Every day, from the moment I open my eyes to the moment I close them, all I do is eat, drink, and relieve myself. I just took over that large compound of the Maritime Safety Administration, but I don't even have enough money to pay the final balance for the ship.

Moreover, everyone at home is now eager to earn money, and they feel restless if they don't make any money for a day.

My mother Zhao Cuihua's concerns were not unfounded.

This whole mess happened at the dock today.

Cheng Kaixuan was kicked into the sea, and Old Lady Liu was beaten until her head was swollen like a pig's head by her sister-in-law.

The villagers usually seem peaceful and friendly, but secretly they are never short of people with conjunctivitis.

During this period, he was busy collecting sea cucumbers and shucking oysters, transporting them home by the truckload. Even a fool could tell they had made a fortune.

Now, no one in the village dares to mess with the Wu family, but just as no one wants to rent their boat to them.

That's how it is in the countryside; interpersonal relationships and social niceties are indispensable.

To avoid suspicion and to prevent the Cheng family from secretly sabotaging them, no one else would interfere in the affairs of the two families.

What if Cheng Kaixuan is ruthless and destroys someone else's ship? Who will be held responsible for this mess?

"It seems that renting boats in the village is a completely unfeasible option."

Wu Sui turned over, her brows furrowing slightly.

Should we rent a boat in town? Or buy a used one?

That's one way to do it.

But the secondhand ship market is fraught with risks.

The machinery is old and the hull has hidden damage. If you're not careful, you might buy a piece of junk that needs repairs every few days, which will only cause more trouble.

After thinking it over, the only connection he could rely on right now was Lin Tao.

Lin Tao has been working at the Yunshui Town dock for so many years that he knows all sorts of people and is well-informed.

Ask him about it; maybe he can help you find a suitable secondhand boat or introduce you to a reliable boat rental channel.

By the way, ask Lin Tao if he knows any ways to sell the oyster pearls.

Having made up his mind, Wu Sui closed his eyes, preparing to take a nap.

I didn't sleep well at all.

My dreams are filled with the sea.

On the deep blue seabed, the golden dot representing the finest cargo dangled right before his eyes.

He reached out to grab it, but the point of light turned and disappeared into a bottomless trench.

Countless hundred-yuan bills drifted down from the sea, falling gently into the ocean and being swept away by the seawater.

In his dream, Wu Sui was so anxious that he stomped his feet and tried desperately to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.

"Grass!"

Wu Sui suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on my back.

He wiped his face and glanced out the window.

The sun was already setting in the west; it was probably around three or four in the afternoon.

Chen Yang was still snoring, sleeping soundly.
