"You liar, come out here!"

The next morning, Lin Shuisheng had just gotten up and was squatting by the courtyard washing up when a series of curses came from outside.

"Gurgle, ptooey!"

He took a mouthful of water, tilted his head back, gulped it down a few times, and slowly stood up. He wiped his mouth clean with a towel draped over his shoulder and stared straight out the door, where he met a pair of eyes that looked like they were about to spit fire.

"Lin Wenbin? What's he doing here?"

His gaze sharpened slightly, and just as he was about to step out, a furious roar rang in his ears.

"Damn it, who the hell is so blind as to bark like a dog so early in the morning?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Chaosheng strode out of the left-hand room, looking angrily towards the door.

Upon seeing this, his pupils contracted sharply, and his expression froze on his face.

The entire front courtyard of their house was almost full of people, all of whom were staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

At first glance, it is indeed a bit scary.

"Second brother, move aside, they're all here to see me."

Lin Shuisheng walked to Lin Chaosheng's side, gently pulled him away, and then strode out, standing at his own front door, quietly looking at the group of uncles and brothers from the same clan and household in front of him.

Goodness, this is quite a spectacle, almost like a year-end party.

If he wasn't mistaken, these people must have come to him because he had tried to persuade Lin Yaodong to stop the ship from sailing yesterday.

"Alright! You braggart. I heard you recently sold a conch shell in the city and made over a hundred thousand. You're planning to buy a big ship and go out to sea, right?"

Lin Wenbin stepped forward, walked up to Lin Shuisheng, raised his chin slightly, and showed a disdainful expression.

"Get to the point, don't give me this nonsense!"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow and stared directly at the other person.

"Ha! You're pretty arrogant!"

Lin Wenbin chuckled, moved his face closer, and poked Lin Shuisheng's chest with his finger. His expression gradually turned cold.

"Don't you even know why I came here to see you?"

"You think I'm being too polite?"

Lin Shuisheng grabbed Lin Wenbin's hand and forcefully pried it upwards, a look of anger on his face.

"You come over so early in the morning, spouting insults over and over again. Who gave you the audacity to curse my mother like that?"

Believe me or not, I'll smash your stinking mouth in right now, and then go ask Uncle Dong how he raised his son!"

"Ouch~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go of me!"

Lin Wenbin winced in pain, and his arrogance vanished instantly.

"snort!"

Lin Shuisheng snorted coldly and pushed outwards with a little force.

Lin Wenbin covered his hand, staggered back a few steps, and looked at Lin Shuisheng with astonishment.

In his memory, this boastful guy had always been a pretty useless piece of trash. How come he's suddenly become so tough?

Moreover, the strength in his hands was immense; he almost broke his hand.

I've never heard of making money making you stronger, have I?

"Ah Bin, are you alright?"

Lin Aijun reached out to support Lin Wenbin, his eyes filled with concern.

After Lin Wenbin shook his head to indicate that he was alright, he suddenly looked up at Lin Shuisheng and angrily reprimanded him:

"Ah Shui, you and Ah Bin are brothers from the same ancestral hall. Even if he said something wrong, you can't hit him!"

"Puniemu, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Lin Shuisheng's face darkened, and he immediately retorted.

"you..."

When Lin Aijun heard Lin Shuisheng cursing, his eyes widened, and he was completely stunned with anger.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Didn't you just say that you can't hit someone even if they say something wrong? Well, now that I'm slapping you, shouldn't you just shut up?"

Lin Shuisheng stepped forward, pointed his finger at Lin Aijun's nose, and spat everywhere.

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Aijun's breath hitched, and he almost fainted.

"Who else? Who else thinks I shouldn't have acted just now? Step forward now!"

Lin Shuisheng lowered his hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the others.

Upon seeing this, everyone avoided his gaze, looking around as if nothing had happened.

joke!

It's clearly Lin Wenbin's fault for being too arrogant, cursing someone's mother the moment he opened his mouth. No matter how much you argue about it, it's still Lin Wenbin who's in the wrong.

They weren't as foolish as Lin Aijun, who flattered others without considering the circumstances.

"Alright, Ah Shui, I admit I was wrong before!"

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Lin Wenbin's face darkened. He stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Shuisheng, staring intently at him.

"But you went to my dad yesterday and said all sorts of nonsense to him, causing everyone to panic. How are we going to settle that score?"

"So, according to you, I was wrong to kindly remind Uncle Dong to be careful about the typhoon?"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Lin Wenbin filled with speechlessness.

"Is that what you call a kind reminder? I think you're just spreading rumors!"

Lin Wenbin saw the look in Lin Shuisheng's eyes and was immediately so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"If there really is a typhoon, my dad is the village head, wouldn't he know? Let alone a typhoon that only comes around once every few centuries?"

Do you know how much money we lose if our ship is out of service for a few days?

Not to mention, all the people working on the ship were our uncles and cousins.

If they don't work, they have no income, and who will support their wives and children?

Don't you think what you're doing is incredibly heartless?

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuisheng looked at Lin Wenbin with even more speechlessness.

He went to remind Lin Yaodong because he felt guilty.

Otherwise, following the trajectory of his previous life, Lin Wenbin would have been drowning in the ocean and feeding sharks in a few days. How could he still be here shamelessly accusing him of being heartless?

"That's right! Ah Shui, we're not saying you can't remind us, but you can't use the name of Mazu to deliberately scare us!"

"Exactly! I was really hoping to catch some great catch and make a fortune this time! Now that you've messed things up, it's all ruined."

"Also, do you know we're planning to go fishing for coconut snails this time, and are you worried we'll get better and bigger snail pearls and make more money than you?"

"Honestly, how can you be so selfish?"

"Ah Shui, you need to explain yourself clearly. Did you fabricate that typhoon news?"

"What a terrible situation! My son is waiting for me to go out to sea and earn some money so I can enroll him in school! What if the boat can't go out and is stuck at sea for more than a week? What are we going to do?"

"Who says otherwise! I still owe money I borrowed from relatives for my wedding two years ago!"

"Hey, Ah Long, Ah Shui is your cousin! Don't just stand there silently, say something!"
