1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

Not long after, when Lin Yaoguang, with his family and various beachcombing tools, crossed the back mountain and arrived at Dongjiao Bay, which belonged to their Liurong Village, he saw Lin Shuisheng standing alone on a large reef, confronting three young men of different builds.

"Have you three brothers had any shame? This Dongjiao Bay is our village's designated beach area. It's one thing for you to come here to collect seafood, but now you want to steal the waterhole I've set my sights on? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Lin Shuisheng glanced at the diesel water pump on the reef, then focused his gaze on the three brothers, Tong Laoda, Tong Laoer, and Tong Laosan, and felt a little fortunate.

It was worth it for him to come and guard this big puddle before dawn.

If he had arrived half an hour later, he wouldn't have gotten any of the big yellow croakers in the puddle.

"You're talking nonsense! Who wants to take your puddle? We just saw you don't have a pump and wanted to partner with you to drain the puddle. Don't bite the hand that feeds you; you don't appreciate a kind offer."

The short, stout third brother stepped forward, spitting as he spoke, his expression extremely agitated, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"That's right, we just wanted to help you out of kindness, don't put it so harshly."

At this moment, Tong Lao Er, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, also stepped forward and, together with Tong Lao San, surrounded Lin Shuisheng on the left and right.

Immediately afterwards, the tallest and most burly man, Boss Tong, slowly walked up to Lin Shuisheng, slightly raised his chin, and with a hint of disdain in his eyes, said as he offered his charity:

"How about this? Everyone knows your wife gave birth to another baby yesterday, and you're still in debt. When we drain the ditch later, we'll take a loss and let you get 30%. Isn't that fair?"

"Get out, Guen!"

Lin Shuisheng leaned forward slightly, bringing his face close to Tong Laoda's eyes, and coldly uttered a single word.

"you..."

Tong Laoda's expression froze, his eyes slowly widening, seemingly not expecting Lin Shuisheng to be so tough.

"Damn it, you braggart, don't push your luck!"

Tong Lao Er grabbed Lin Shuisheng's vest, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour him.

"Ah Shui, we've even brought a water pump over. We're classmates, you're not going to give us even the slightest bit of face, are you?"

Tong Laosan reached out and pulled back the other Tong Laosan who was about to explode, his gaze toward Lin Shuisheng somewhat gloomy.

In his view, they had contributed manpower, equipment, and diesel fuel, and giving Lin Shuisheng 30% of the profits was already quite generous.

If they hadn't arrived a little late, allowing Lin Shuisheng to claim the water pit ahead of time, he wouldn't have wanted to give away even a single fish scale, let alone 30%.

"I'm not giving it to you. Are you trying to inflate my ego?"

Seeing Tong Laosan acting all high and mighty, Lin Shuisheng was secretly amused and moved his face closer, continuing to use his ultimate move face-to-face.

Upon seeing this, Tong Laosan's face instantly turned bright red, and his fists clenched tightly.

The next moment, before he could lose control and smash his fist into Lin Shuisheng's face, a furious shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Big Guy, Skinny Monkey, Third Brother, what do you want? How dare you bully our little brother? Do you think we're dead?"

Looking back, they saw Lin Chaosheng and Lin Haisheng rushing towards them one after the other, carrying shovels and hooks, clearly ready to fight.

Seeing the cold glint of the shovel and hook, Tong Lao Er was the first to react, quickly taking a few steps back to create some distance between himself and Lin Shuisheng.

Immediately afterwards, the anger in the eyes of Tong Lao Da and Tong Lao San receded like the tide, replaced by fear and apprehension.

What they feared wasn't fighting with anyone; what they feared was Lin Chaosheng, this madman.

When others fight, they usually just use shovels and hooks to make a show of it and scare people. But Lin Chaosheng is different. When he fights, he really goes all out.

The most famous incident occurred six or seven years ago when Xi'an Village, Liurong Village, and Houqi Village got into a fight over a share of parking spaces in Dongshan Aotou.

In the end, most people only suffered minor injuries, but one person from Xi'an Village had a foul mouth and cursed Lin Chaosheng, saying that his wife had come to his door heavily pregnant and he didn't know if the child she was carrying was a bastard.

As a result, Lin Chaosheng took an oyster cleaver and chased after the man, hacking at him relentlessly.

He started from Dongshan Aotou and slashed all the way to Xi'an Village, all the way to that person's house, slashing him seven or eight times.

If that person hadn't been lucky enough to escape home, the grass on his grave would probably be as tall as a person by now.

"Big Guy, Skinny Monkey, and Third Brother, you guys have some nerve, daring to mess with my brother!"

Lin Chaosheng ran to the large reef and saw that Lin Shuisheng was alright. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then gripped the iron hook and slowly walked up to the three Tong brothers.

"That's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, we didn't touch him."

Tong Lao Er forced a smile and lowered his head.

"That's right. You can ask your brother if you don't believe me. We really didn't do anything to him. We were just discussing with him about pooling our resources to drain the sluice gate."

Tong Laosan looked at the iron hook swaying in front of him and nodded hastily, his smile more like a grimace.

As the saying goes, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.

When Lin Chaosheng gets into a fight, he's neither one of those people; he's just pure madness.

Who knows if he'll suddenly stick an iron hook into their necks at the slightest provocation?

In short, saving face is meaningless now; preserving your life is the only real concern.

"And you?"

Seeing the behavior of Tong Lao Er and Tong Lao San, Lin Chaosheng's expression softened slightly, and then he turned his gaze to the face of Tong Lao Da, who had remained silent.

"Lin Chaosheng, don't go too far. People are afraid you'll go crazy, but I'm not. At worst, I'll trade my life for yours."

Tong Laoda's face darkened, and he slowly clenched his fists, staring at Lin Chaosheng with gritted teeth.

As the eldest brother in the family, he knew he absolutely could not back down at this moment.

Otherwise, if word gets out, he'll really be too ashamed to show his face in the Qinglan Bay area.

"Ha! A life for a life? Do you even deserve it?"

Lin Chaosheng sneered, stepped forward, and stood in front of Boss Tong, his eyes full of disdain.

It wasn't that he looked down on Boss Tong, nor did he care that Boss Tong was taller and stronger than him.

If a fight really broke out, he was sure that Boss Tong would be the first to fall.

After all, he had spent some time on the streets before he got married.

"Alright, second brother, this is a small matter, you don't need to get involved. If they want to fight, I'll handle it."

Seeing that Lin Chaosheng had quietly turned the iron hook around, Lin Shuisheng hurriedly squeezed forward, separating Lin Chaosheng and Boss Tong, and stood at the very front, a look of eager anticipation on his face.

He didn't make a move before, mainly because there were no witnesses nearby, and he was worried that he would be outnumbered and ambushed.

Now that his older brothers have arrived, he can finally go all out and get things done.

I wonder how many punches those three brothers could withstand from him?
