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

Soon, Lin Shuisheng lowered his head, lay down on the ground, and kept searching through the two clumps of snail meat.

Not long after, his eyes lit up, and then they lit up again.

When the two clumps of snail meat were almost completely crushed, he finally held three Melo Pearls in his hand, all of them covered in flame patterns and the most precious orange-red color.

The only difference is the shape and size.

The first one dug out was not only over 3 centimeters long, but also perfectly round, making it a top-tier treasure.

Of the two that were dug up later, one was larger, measuring over 2 centimeters, and was slightly more oval than the first one, being nearly round.

The last one barely reached 2 centimeters in diameter, and was oval-shaped, just like a pigeon egg.

Moreover, all three came from the same old snail, specifically the slightly smaller one.

The largest snail in the box was completely empty, not a single hair on it.

Even so, Lin Shuisheng looked at the three shimmering Melo Pearls in his hand and his mouth was practically twisted into a grin.

Now he no longer needs to worry about whether to sell it or not; just that one nearly round one is enough for him to build a one-story house.

Of course, the first one he asked about the price of was the egg-shaped one.

If the selling price is high enough, he will keep the two larger and rounder ones and give them to Ye Wanqing. Later, when the two children grow up, he will give one to each of them as a family heirloom.

perfect!

"Hey, Ah Shui, what are you grinning about? Come in and worship the gods!"

Just as Lin Shuisheng was immersed in joy, a shout suddenly came from behind him, which made him snap back to reality.

"Hey, here it comes!"

He gently clenched the three Melo beads, stood up, ran into his room, opened the wardrobe, and hid the beads.

At this moment, only Ye Wanqing remained in the room, lying on the bed.

When she heard the noise, she turned her head and saw Lin Shuisheng taking a set of clothes out of the closet. She had no idea that her husband had hidden three Melo Pearls, worth several houses, in the closet.

"You lie down and rest first, I'll come and keep you company after I finish praying to the gods."

Lin Shuisheng left a message, grabbed his clothes, ran to the shower room, washed himself thoroughly, and changed into clean clothes.

As the saying goes, respect gods as you would respect people.

Before you start worshipping the gods, you should first tidy yourself up to show your sincerity.

When he came out of the shower room, Chen Xiurong was already standing in the hall waiting for him, holding the child.

The child was no longer wrapped in a small blanket, but was wearing red pants and a red bib given to him by his grandmother, Yu Shulan, which made him look very festive.

Moreover, whether it was because Chen Xiurong was good at coaxing her or because the child was not shy, she opened her almond-shaped eyes, just like Ye Wanqing's, and neither cried nor made a fuss.

Lin Shuisheng walked over and gently scratched the child's cheek with his finger, which made Chen Xiurong glare at him.

"Hurry up, we still need to cook and prepare the feast later!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuisheng glanced at his mother-in-law, who was standing beside him watching the ceremony, took the incense and candles from Lin Haisheng, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed down to the ancestral tablets on the altar.

"Grandparents, great-grandparents, today I, Lin Shuisheng, welcome a new addition to our family. I pray that our ancestors will protect my second son, Lin Xiahua, so that he may grow up safely and healthily, without fear or pain!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiurong, holding the child, also bowed down, muttering something under her breath.

May our ancestors bless our youngest granddaughter, Lin Xiaohua, with good health, freedom from disasters and hardships, and all things going smoothly...

Soon, Lin Shuisheng raised the incense and candles, bowed three times, and then stepped forward to insert the incense and candles into the incense burner.

"Prosperity! Flourishing!"

Lin Haisheng and Lin Chaosheng, who were standing to the side, immediately shouted loudly when they saw this scene.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuisheng and Chen Xiurong took the child back to the room, holding incense and candles, and offered prayers to the woman at the foot of the bed frame, murmuring something.

"Grandma and Grandpa, Lin Xiaohua from Xinkou has come to recognize Grandma. Please protect her and keep her safe and sound..."

After the worship ceremony was completed, Chen Xiurong placed the child next to Ye Wanqing and gently stroked the child's chest three times, symbolizing that the grandmother was not frightened by the pain.

Then, she stepped aside to make way and looked back at Yu Shulan.

Upon seeing this, Yu Shulan immediately stepped forward, took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, and took out a pair of silver bracelets from the bag, gently putting them on the child's ankles.

Looking at the pair of silver bracelets as wide as a finger, Chen Xiurong's eyes flashed with surprise, then she quickly slapped her thigh.

"Oh my! My little granddaughter is so lucky! Her grandmother gave her such a big pair of silver bracelets. She'll definitely be wearing gold and silver when she grows up!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Ye Wanqing shielded the child with her hands, her gaze towards Yu Shulan filled with gratitude.

It should be noted that her family's economic conditions have not been very good in recent years, and she only gave birth to a son, so under normal circumstances, there is no need to prepare silver bracelets.

But Yu Shulan still prepared, and even sent such a large pair of silver bracelets.

This not only shows her love for her child, but also her family's high regard for her.

At least with these silver bracelets, Lin Yaoguang and Chen Xiurong should no longer be unhappy that Lin Shuisheng spent so lavishly buying a basket of coconut snails to entertain his mother-in-law.

At this time, she was unaware that Lin Shuisheng had already earned 9000 yuan and paid off most of his debts.

So when Yu Shulan waved her hand and took out a large red envelope from her pocket and placed it in the child's arms, her first thought was not to politely refuse, but to think about how much money was inside.

"Oh dear! What are you doing? This is a three-day celebration, not a postpartum celebration. Why are you being so polite?"

When Chen Xiurong saw the red envelope, she was slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly pretended to be a little angry and pulled Yu Shulan aside.

Yu Shulan turned to look at Chen Xiurong, gently took her hand, and said with genuine sincerity:

"Mother-in-law, Ah Qing is such a disappointment; she's had two miscarriages in a row. You'll have to be more understanding of her!"

"Hey, what kind of talk is that? Ah Qingyi married into our family, so she is one of us, my new bride. Whether she gives birth to a son or a child, they are all part of our family."

Chen Xiurong frowned, her expression revealing a hint of displeasure.

Although she could understand Yu Shulan's good intentions, Yu Shulan's actions were tantamount to slapping her, the mother-in-law, in the face.

If this gets out, who knows what people will say about her abusing her bride!

"Yes, yes, it was my fault, I said the wrong thing!"

Yu Shulan nodded repeatedly, her face full of smiles.

With Chen Xiurong's words, she was able to feel a little more at ease.

"Alright, sit here for a bit, I'll go check on the food."

Seeing Yu Shulan admit her mistake so readily, Chen Xiurong couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance, then turned and walked out after saying a few words.

Honestly, it's one thing that the money didn't even reach her hands, but how did Yu Shulan manage to get involved in this mess?
