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

Not long after, Lin Yaoguang and his wife Chen Xiurong followed, each carrying a load of fruit.

Seeing them covered in sweat, Lin Shuisheng immediately stepped forward, bypassing Lin Yaoguang, and walked directly to Chen Xiurong, putting down the basket he was carrying.

"Mom, I'll carry it!"

"Need not..."

"Alright, give it to me, I'll do it!"

Soon, Lin Shuisheng stepped forward, bent down, and forcibly took the load from him on his shoulder.

"You silly child!"

Seeing Lin Shuisheng's actions, Chen Xiurong playfully patted him, her smile so wide it was almost impossible for a tank to suppress it.

Before she could even bend down to pick up the basket, Lin Shuisheng had already caught up with Lin Yaoguang in a few quick steps, and then walked past him and left.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yaoguang was stunned, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

When did this idiot become so strong?

That load of over 100 pounds, carried on his shoulders as if nothing happened, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

"Ah Guang, are you sure you can handle it? If not, just leave it for now, and I'll have Ah Shui come back later to help you carry it."

Chen Xiurong walked to Lin Yaoguang's side and asked with concern.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Yaoguang showed no gratitude whatsoever; instead, his eyes widened and his face flushed red.

"Who says I can't do it? What's a hundred pounds or so? I could handle double that."

After saying that, before Chen Xiurong could say anything, he straightened his back and strode forward, veins bulging on his neck.

Chen Xiurong frowned and hurriedly followed behind, keeping a close eye on Lin Yaoguang's situation, afraid that he might accidentally fall into the ravine.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and they made it back to their front yard safely.

Lin Yaoguang gritted his teeth and walked to the gate before putting down the load. Then he turned around and nodded at Chen Xiurong.

"Virtue!"

Chen Xiurong rolled her eyes and was about to step forward to wipe the sweat from Lin Yaoguang's face when a very annoying voice came from behind her.

"Oh my, aren't you guys exaggerating? It's just a typhoon, right? We get typhoons every year here. Do you really have to be this scared that you've picked lychees that aren't even fully ripe yet?"

"none of your business!"

Before Chen Xiurong could react, Li Chanjuan, carrying two baskets and leading Zhao Yuzhu, emerged from the alley behind the house and loudly retorted to Zhang Chunmei, the somewhat foul-mouthed neighbor.

"We can pick our own lychees whenever we want; it's none of your business."

"Hey! You're really biting the hand that feeds you! I'd like to see how much you can sell these green lychees for. Don't blame me if you sell them at a loss."

Zhang Chunmei glared at Li Chanjuan, pointed at her with her hand, and said sarcastically in a sarcastic tone.

"What are you ordering? If you dare order anything else, believe me, I'll chop your fingers off with a knife!"

Li Chanjuan's face darkened, and she quickly put down her load. She grabbed a gleaming wood-chopping knife from her basket, almost startling Zhao Yuzhu, who was carrying the basket behind her.

"Come on! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Zhang Chunmei's pupils suddenly contracted, and she put her hands on her hips, looking somewhat fierce but actually weak.

Then, before Li Chanjuan could react, she turned her head to face her own house and shouted loudly.

"Help! Someone's trying to attack us with a knife!"

"Where?"

"What's wrong?"

Soon, Lin Xuewen ran out of the house, ran to Zhang Chunmei's side, and frowned slightly as he looked at Li Chanjuan.

"Ah Juan, what are you doing?"

"Ask your mother yourself what good deeds she has done."

Li Chanjuan glanced at Lin Chaosheng, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Shuisheng, who had already walked over, as well as Zhao Yuzhu standing closely beside her. With a surge of courage, she pointed the machete directly at Zhang Chunmei.

Zhang Chunmei's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this, and her face turned somewhat pale.

"Amei, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Xuewen glanced at the three Lin brothers, who looked hostile, then at Li Chanjuan, who looked self-righteous, and finally turned around to look at Zhang Chunmei, who was quietly hiding behind him.

"I...I was just being kind by reminding them not to pick the lychees so quickly, since we're neighbors, and then she yelled at me for being nosy and even tried to stab me with a knife. No good deed goes unpunished..."

Zhang Chunmei swallowed hard, raised her chin, and stubbornly turned the tables on him.

But before she could finish speaking, Li Chanjuan suddenly stepped forward, pointed a wood-chopping knife at her, and began to curse:

"Was that a well-intentioned reminder? You're practically cursing us so we won't get a good price!"

"What do you mean by cursing you? Am I wrong? Who would be stupid enough to spend money on you green lychees?"

Zhang Chunmei rolled her eyes and retorted with a look of disgust.

Upon hearing her words, the three brothers, Lin Shuisheng, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Chaosheng, stepped forward and stood behind Li Chanjuan.

Li Chanjuan gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Alright!"

Seeing the actions of Lin Shuisheng and his two brothers, Lin Xuewen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Zhang Chunmei's arm and dragged her forcefully towards his home.

"Can you please stop causing me trouble every day?"

"Lin Xuewen, what kind of talk is that? I serve your whole family all day long, washing your clothes, cooking for you, and running around doing this and that. Do you think it's easy for me?"

"I didn't say it's easy for you, I just told you to watch your mouth."

"What's wrong with my mouth? Didn't you used to say I had a sweet tongue? You even said my lips were thick and tasted like fish jelly!"

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuewen's eyes twitched violently. He then quickly raised his hand, covered Zhang Chunmei's mouth tightly, and forcibly dragged her into the house.

"Waaaaah~"

Soon, only a sobbing sound remained in the air.

"Ha ha!"

The three brothers, Lin Shuisheng, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Chaosheng, looked at each other and eventually burst into laughter.

They never expected that Lin Xuewen, who seemed so proper on the surface, was actually so promiscuous in private.

"Dirty bitch!"

Li Chanjuan spat, blushed, stuffed the wood-chopping knife back into the basket, and then, without daring to look at Lin Chaosheng, lowered her head and pulled the somewhat bewildered Zhao Yuzhu back home quickly, afraid of revealing something.

Fortunately, Lin Shuisheng and Lin Haisheng didn't pay much attention and were just laughing.

Finally, Chen Xiurong couldn't stand it anymore and walked over somewhat irritably, patting each of them on the shoulder, which finally ended the farce.

Soon, the three brothers went inside, sat down, and prepared to have some tea and rest.

Meanwhile, Lin Yaoguang walked around the house several times with his hands behind his back, a critical look in his eyes.
