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

"What's all the commotion about? Don't you all know whether life or money is more important?"

Before Lin Shuisheng could say anything, Lin Chaosheng, who had been standing behind and was already furious, could no longer hold back and rushed forward, shouting loudly at the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.

However, soon someone else started muttering resentfully.

"Pshaw, who knows if what he's saying is true?"

"Exactly! If it's not true, then we've just been made fools of!"

"..."

Gradually, the voices grew louder and louder, and more and more people started talking.

Seeing this, Lin Chaosheng couldn't help but tremble with anger.

Good deeds go unrewarded!

Don't be fooled by how pitiful these people make themselves out to be, as if they can't survive without going to sea these next few days.

It's all bullshit!

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that this is impossible.

Even if things are really tough at home, it shouldn't be so bad that we can't even last a week.

This is purely using this as an excuse to make a fuss!

Oh, you want to go out to sea to make money, but you're also afraid that a typhoon will really come and you'll lose your life. You don't want to lose more than a week's worth of income for nothing. Is there such a good thing in this world?

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse at the crowd, Lin Shuisheng suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Second brother, don't rush, let me talk to them."

"no..."

Lin Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to pull Lin Shuisheng back.

Because he knew that reasoning with people at this time would be futile.

No matter how you look at it, the question of whether or not a typhoon will actually come remains unanswered.

Lin Shuisheng had no evidence to prove it, so in the end it was all for nothing.

"It's okay, trust me!"

Before Lin Chaosheng could finish speaking, Lin Shuisheng calmly raised his hand, silencing him.

When everyone saw Lin Shuisheng's gaze sweep over them, they all unconsciously shut their mouths and silently watched him walk up to Lin Wenbin.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Wenbin frowned as he looked at Lin Shuisheng's calm expression, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

"How about this?"

Lin Shuisheng glanced at Lin Wenbin, then looked at everyone, and slowly began to speak:

"Since you all think I'm deliberately scaring you so you can't go out to sea to fish and make money, let's make a bet."

Upon hearing the word "bet," everyone's eyes lit up, and they all became interested.

"How do you want to bet?"

Lin Wenbin raised an eyebrow, a slight look of surprise on his face.

"It's very simple!"

Lin Shuisheng smirked, raised his right hand and extended one finger, "If there's no typhoon in the next few days, I'll give you 100,000 yuan as an apology."

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

This is a sure win, there's no reason why he wouldn't dare to place a bet!

Now it's up to the people here to see if they dare to follow.

Upon hearing his words, everyone's eyes widened, suddenly bursting forth with a blazing light.

"What...are you kidding me?"

Lin Wenbin was startled and was so frightened by Lin Shuisheng's extravagant gesture that he stammered.

"Who has time to joke with you?"

Lin Shuisheng's face darkened, and he shouted angrily:

"I'm telling you this right now: if there's no typhoon in the next few days, I'll give you 100,000 yuan as compensation. But if a typhoon really comes, you'll not only have to give me 10,000 yuan, but you'll also owe me your life."

From now on, if I tell you to go east, you can't go west; if I tell you to chase the dog, you can't catch the chicken.

Are you going to take the bet or not?

It's not that he doesn't want to raise the stakes if he wins, the problem is that if he raises them, no one will dare to take the bet.

"this..."

Lin Wenbin's expression froze as he looked at Lin Shuisheng's furious face, and he swallowed hard.

At the same time, everyone else was also stunned by Lin Shuisheng's domineering aura, and they all held their breath and dared not breathe.

"What's wrong? Weren't you all so talkative just now? Why are you all suddenly speechless?"

Lin Shuisheng looked around, a look of disdain on his face.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Wenbin's face darkened, and then he suddenly shouted,

"Okay, we'll take the bet."

"That's right. Since Ah Shui is willing to bet 100,000 yuan with us, if we don't accept, we might as well just kill ourselves and save ourselves from embarrassment."

"Well said! It's just a bet, right? I've never been afraid of anything in my life!"

"Haha! Now I don't have to worry about my son not having enough money for tuition!"

"Ah Shui, it's a deal then, you can't go back on your word!"

"..."

Just as everyone was excited about the 100,000 yuan that was about to be theirs, Lin Chaosheng rushed forward, grabbed Lin Shuisheng's arm, and looked anxious.

"No, Ah Shui, are you crazy? Let them make trouble if they want to. At worst, we can go to Uncle Dong and have him call people in the city to ask about the typhoon. Why did you make a bet with them?"

Moreover, you placed such a large bet, it's 100,000 yuan, not 10 yuan.

We spent all our money on the boat.

If you lose, what will you use to compensate the other party?

you..."

"Second brother, do you believe me?"

Before Lin Chaosheng could finish speaking, Lin Shuisheng raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I...of course I believe you! But..."

Lin Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to continue persuading Lin Shuisheng, Lin Shuisheng shut him down with a single sentence.

"Second brother, since you trust me, then don't stop me."

After speaking, Lin Shuisheng turned to look at the crowd who were still secretly pleased, and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.

Laugh! Laugh!

I hope you can still smile in a few days.

In fact, he did not expect that Lin Wenbin and many of his uncles and brothers would come to him directly and give him an opportunity to improve his status in the clan.

If nothing unexpected happens, from now on, in their household, besides Lin Yaodong, he will be the one whose words carry the most weight.

He won't care about the other households, but if anyone from his own household dares to laugh at him for not having a son, he'll slap them across the face.

Ah!

Just thinking about that scene makes me happy!

"By the way, Ah Shui, since it's a bet, shouldn't we write something down? That way everyone will feel more at ease, don't you think?"

At this moment, Lin Wenbin suddenly thought of something and approached Lin Shuisheng with a smile.

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll go write up a document right away."

Lin Shuisheng almost burst out laughing when he heard Lin Wenbin's suggestion.

He was initially worried that Lin Wenbin and the others would take advantage of the fact that there are many of them and try to get away with it!

Now, it's like a pillow has been handed to him when he's sleepy.

Soon, he turned around and ran into the house to find paper, pen and ink, wrote three copies of the bet agreement, signed his name without hesitation, and then took them out for Lin Wenbin and others to sign and put their fingerprints on.

After everyone had signed, before he could even say anything, Lin Wenbin took the initiative to suggest that they find the clan chief, Ninth Uncle Lin Dechang, to be a witness.

He naturally wouldn't object to this, and went directly with Lin Wenbin and the others to the home of Ninth Uncle Lin Dechang.
