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

What a cunning fellow!

A young girl who had just experienced a major life change had to go out to sea to fish at the age of eleven to pay off her gambling father's debts, and she would have to do so for seven or eight years.

It's hard to imagine how Zhao Yuzhu has managed to get through all these days.

Seemingly sensing the heartache in Lin Shuisheng's eyes, Zhao Yuzhu smiled and continued writing a sentence with her finger.

"It's okay, I'm already taken."

After finishing writing, she wiped her hands on her thighs to remove the seawater, and gently slipped her hands into Lin Shuisheng's palm.

Lin Shuisheng's body stiffened abruptly, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, standing up somewhat flusteredly.

"Um, I'll go switch with the older brother to row the boat."

After saying that, he walked past Zhao Yuzhu and glared at Lin Haisheng with some annoyance.

It's all his elder brothers' fault. They told Wang Jin right away that he wanted to take a mistress, which left him with no way to explain.

This explanation is tantamount to slapping the three brothers in the face, isn't it?

As Zhao Yuzhu watched Lin Shuisheng walk past her, she lowered her eyelids, slowly withdrew her hand, and tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, twisting it incessantly.

And so, a little over half an hour later, the small sampan successfully docked at Dongshan Aotou in Qinglan Bay.

"Big brother, Ah Shui, you take the men back first, I'll go check on the fish farm."

Lin Chaosheng seemed to be in a bad mood. He jumped off the boat, waved his hand, said a few words, and ran away.

Lin Shuisheng watched his second brother's departing figure, his brows furrowing slightly. He then exchanged a glance with his eldest brother, Lin Haisheng, both of them seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

However, they still don't know what exactly happened back then, and for the time being, they don't know how to comfort Lin Chaosheng, so they can only take the mute girl Zhao Yuzhu home first.

When they returned home, they saw Lin's father, Lin Yaoguang, Lin's mother, Chen Xiurong, the old lady, Huang Suzhen, the eldest sister-in-law, Su Meilan, and the second sister-in-law, Li Chanjuan, all sitting in the hall. They immediately focused their attention on Zhao Yuzhu and looked her up and down carefully.

Clearly, they must have already learned about Zhao Yuzhu's background from Ye Wanqing and were staying at home specifically to wait for her.

When Zhao Yuzhu saw so many people staring at her, she was startled and instinctively hid behind Lin Shuisheng, clutching the hem of his vest.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my grandma, this is my dad, this is my mom..."

Lin Shuisheng led Zhao Yuzhu into the hall, pointed to his family members, and introduced them to her one by one.

Then, he pointed to Zhao Yuzhu and introduced her to his family in a low voice:

"Well, as you all probably know, she's the girl who sold me the coconut snails and was almost given away by her father to pay off debts. Her name is Zhao Yuzhu, and I've invited her back to help out."

Before Chen Xiurong could even stand up and greet them, Zhao Yuzhu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Yaoguang and Chen Xiurong.

"Oh no, no, you mustn't! Get up right now!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiurong quickly quickened her pace and reached out to pull Zhao Yuzhu up.

Zhao Yuzhu looked up at Chen Xiurong, then immediately lowered her head shyly.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Shuisheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked at his mother, Chen Xiurong.

Fortunately, Chen Xiurong didn't react in any particular way. She simply hugged Zhao Yuzhu with a look of pity and gently patted her back.

"Alright, alright, now that we're home, settle down comfortably. You don't have to worry about anyone giving you away to pay off debts anymore."

As she spoke, she looked closely at Zhao Yuzhu's slightly immature face, her eyes filled with heartache.

"What a cruel old man! How could there be such a heartless father in this world? How could he do this to such a handsome and well-behaved son? Isn't he just pushing him into a fire pit?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu's eyes reddened slightly, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Ah Zhu! This is your home from now on. If anyone bullies you, just come and tell Grandma, and I'll stand up for you."

At this moment, the old lady also stood up and walked over, gently grasped Zhao Yuzhu's hand, and spoke kindly to comfort her.

Seeing that her grandmother and mother-in-law had both expressed their opinions, Su Meilan, the eldest sister-in-law, quickly stood up and went over.

"Grandma is right. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell us, and we will definitely get justice for you."

"Exactly!"

Li Chanjuan lagged behind, her voice the loudest and most shrewish: "From now on, in our village, if anyone dares to bully you or gossip about you, I'll tear their mouths apart."

After saying that, she grabbed Zhao Yuzhu's hand and gave her a very friendly smile.

You know, this is a lucky charm that can bring her brother-in-law Lin Shuisheng hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth, so she has to hurry up and take advantage of her good fortune.

Seeing how kind and caring everyone was to her, Zhao Yuzhu's tears slowly stopped, and she gradually relaxed.

"Hey, what are you still doing drinking tea there? Say something already!"

Chen Xiurong turned her head to look at Lin Yaoguang, who was sitting and drinking tea to the side, and frowned slightly.

"Ahem!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoguang choked on his tea, quickly put down his teacup, looked up at Zhao Yuzhu, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Well, do your job well from now on."

"Go away, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. They've only just arrived and you're already expecting them to do things for you. Even Huang Shiren wouldn't do this."

Chen Xiurong rolled her eyes, gave Lin Yaoguang a disdainful retort, and then pulled Zhao Yuzhu toward the right-hand side room.

"Ah Zhu, let me take you to see your sister first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu's expression tightened, she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and her steps became heavier.

Lin Shuisheng paused for a moment, then quickly followed.

Soon, the three of them entered the room one after the other.

Hearing the door open, Ye Wanqing sat up in bed and saw Chen Xiurong leading a pretty, delicate-looking woman into the room. Her gaze immediately froze...

This baby is actually quite good-looking!

"Ah Qing, Ah Shui brought her back. Her name is Ah Zhu. Look how well-behaved she is!"

Chen Xiurong pulled Zhao Yuzhu to the bedside and introduced her with a chuckle.

"Hmm, she does look quite well-behaved. From now on, you can call me 'older sister'!"

Ye Wanqing snapped out of her daze and nodded, forcing a smile onto her face.

She seemed to be having some regrets.

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu blushed immediately, struggled to squeeze out a "sister" from her throat, and then knelt down on the ground.

Unfortunately, before she could fully kneel down, Chen Xiurong grabbed her and pulled her up.

"You shameless bastard, why do you kneel down to people all the time?"

Seeing this, Ye Wanqing quickly sat up straight and said earnestly:

"Ah Zhu, since you call me sister, then we're family. There's no need to be so polite among family members."

"Um!"

Zhao Yuzhu looked up at Ye Wanqing and nodded obediently.

"That's right!"

Ye Wanqing relaxed, looked up at Lin Shuisheng standing behind her, raised an eyebrow, and waved to him.

"Ah Shui, what are you standing there for? Come over here and say something to your sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu abruptly turned to look at Lin Shuisheng, who was also completely bewildered.

No!

What exactly is going on here?

How come he suddenly has a sister-in-law?
