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

Soon after, the once bustling bay gradually became deserted, with only the ceaseless sound of the crashing waves remaining.

When Lin Shuisheng and the others returned home, the village was already lit up with lights.

Most of the houses were dimly lit, with only a few brightly lit.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear the "putt-putt-putt" sound of a diesel generator.

"Ah Shui, look at Uncle Dong's house, it's so bright with just a light bulb. I wonder when our house will be able to use light bulbs?"

Lin Chaosheng stood on the front yard of his house, looking up at a two-story building at the entrance of the village, his eyes full of envy.

"If you want to use it, that's easy! Just spend a thousand or eight hundred to buy a diesel generator!"

Lin Shuisheng glanced at his second brother, chuckled, and replied.

"You make it sound so easy. A few hundred dollars isn't a lot of money, is it? And do you think buying a diesel generator is all you need? You think you don't need to spend money on diesel? Even if you only use a few light bulbs, it will cost at least one or two dollars a day for diesel. You can calculate how much that will cost in a month!"

Lin Chaosheng rolled his eyes and walked to the other side, squatting down to sort through the seafood, picking out all the valuable and sellable items.

"How about you pay for the diesel generator, and my brother and I will cover the fuel costs?"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow and made a suggestion with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes, Ah Chao, as long as you buy the diesel generator, Ah Shui and I will cover the fuel costs from now on."

Lin Haisheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Do you think I'm that stupid?

Lin Chaosheng stared blankly at Lin Shuisheng and Lin Haisheng, as if he were looking at two idiots.

joke!

The money spent on a diesel generator is enough to cover two years' worth of fuel costs.

Moreover, this was shared by two people.

He must be out of his mind to agree to such a condition!

"No, second brother, you have to think of it this way! No matter how long you use this diesel generator, it will eventually be yours."

Lin Shuisheng stepped forward and patted Lin Chaosheng on the shoulder.

"this..."

Lin Chaosheng was suddenly stunned, his eyes staring straight at Lin Shuisheng, a hint of interest slowly appearing on his face.

"Exactly! You're going to buy one sooner or later anyway, so buying it now and we can even cover your gas money, isn't that great!"

Seeing Lin Chaosheng's reaction, Lin Haisheng hurriedly stepped forward and sincerely echoed his words.

"Go away, you talk a good game, why don't you buy some yourselves?"

Looking at his elder brother's honest and simple face, Lin Chaosheng suddenly realized what was going on.

"Big brother, it's all your fault. Second brother was about to agree."

Lin Shuisheng glared at Lin Haisheng, then stood up and walked into the house.

"No, how is this my fault?"

Lin Haisheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a wronged look on his face.

Lin Shuisheng did not answer this question, but went straight into his room to take a cold shower.

In this sweltering heat, I break out in a sweat all the time. It's really unbearable if I don't take a proper shower.

Soon, he came out of the shower room wearing a pair of coarse cloth shorts and bumped into his younger sister and sister-in-law who were cooking in the kitchen.

Their eyes lit up when they saw his eight-pack abs and the well-defined muscles on his arms.

"Ah Shui, what have you been eating lately? You look a little different than before!"

Li Chanjuan looked her up and down with some surprise, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

After all, on their Canglan Island, men who go out to sea to fish shirtless are almost everywhere.

If you're shy about this, then you really shouldn't go out.

"How are they different?"

Lin Shuisheng spread his hands, chuckled, and asked.

"When did you get so much fat on yourself?"

Li Chanjuan reached out and traced a circle around Lin Shuisheng's body, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"I don't know! I hadn't been paying much attention until you told me!"

Lin Shuisheng looked down at his golden physique and patted his hard abs.

"Alright, save those words for fooling ghosts on the fifteenth of July! Get out of the way and stop blocking our cooking!"

Seeing Lin Shuisheng spouting nonsense, Li Chanjuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, waved her hand, and told him to leave.

"Shameless!"

Lin Shuixian rubbed her cheek with her finger and stuck out her tongue at Lin Shuisheng.

"Hey, do you still want new clothes?"

Lin Shuisheng glared and immediately threatened him.

"Yes, Third Brother, I was wrong!"

Lin Shuixian's expression froze, then she quickly forced a flattering smile.

"snort!"

Lin Shuisheng raised his chin, gave a light snort, and strode out with his hands behind his back. He then sat in the hall, carrying his eldest son, drinking tea and chatting with the old lady Huang Suzhen.

Lin Yaoguang sat next to her and saw that his youngest son had made his mother laugh out loud after saying only a few words, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In his view, all Lin Shuisheng had left was his mouth.

Not long after, Lin Haisheng and Lin Chaosheng finished showering and sat around the dining table, chatting about the day's events while waiting for dinner to be served.

As they were chatting, Lin Chaosheng suddenly turned to look at Lin Shuisheng, who was playing with his big son.

"Ah Shui, you've made so much money now, what are your plans for the future?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot!"

Lin Shuisheng slapped his forehead, handed Lin Chunjiao to the old lady to hold, and then got up and went back to his room.

He returned shortly afterward and placed a wad of banknotes on the dining table.

Lin Chaosheng, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Yaoguang looked at the stack of money on the table, their faces showing a hint of doubt.

It wasn't until Lin Shuisheng divided the money into three portions and placed them in front of them that they suddenly realized what was happening.

"Ah Shui, you're not planning to continue managing shrimp ponds?"

Lin Chaosheng frowned slightly, but did not reach out to touch the money.

He knew that Lin Shuisheng had always wanted to start a business and become a boss, so from the beginning, he never expected Lin Shuisheng to be able to pay back the money first.

"No, I'm planning to do something else."

Lin Shuisheng shook his head, his expression calm, showing no sign of resentment whatsoever.

For him, the failed attempt to lease a shrimp pond was something that happened decades ago, and he probably wouldn't have remembered it if Ye Wanqing hadn't reminded him.

Moreover, whether in his past life or now, his understanding of the ins and outs of shrimp farming remains at a very basic level. If he were to continue managing shrimp ponds, he would most likely end up losing everything.

Rather than throwing money away just to save face, he'd rather pay off his debts first, so he can sleep soundly at night.

"Bang!"

"What are you planning to do now? Over the years, what have you accomplished with anything you've done? Can't you learn from your two older brothers how to live a down-to-earth life?"

Lin Yaoguang slammed his hand on the table, his face full of anger and disappointment.
