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

As evening fell and the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the mountains, news of Lin Shuisheng betting with Lin Wenbin and others on whether a typhoon was coming, winning 10,000 yuan, and then immediately donating all the money to Mazu, swept through the entire Qinglan Bay like a whirlwind.

Whether they were villagers or people from outside the village, everyone was stunned by Lin Shuisheng's extravagant gesture.

Keep in mind, that's a whole ten thousand yuan.

In an era when the average monthly salary was less than 200 yuan, it would take more than four years of working without eating or drinking to save 10,000 yuan.

Even if some people in their village work as boatmen and receive dividends from their shares, they can only earn about 300 yuan a month during a good harvest.

In the worst year, after deducting fixed costs such as buying diesel fuel, repairing nets, and food, earning forty or fifty yuan a month would be considered good.

This shows just how terrifying it is to donate 10,000 yuan at once.

Not to mention, Lin Shuisheng had previously sold a conch shell and earned over 100,000 yuan in one go.

To put it bluntly, he's lucky if he doesn't get sacked while walking down the street these days.

As time slowly passed, before long, news spread like wildfire again about Lin Shuisheng dreaming that Mazu appeared to him several times in his dreams, telling him that his mother's fetus was in an abnormal position, that there were large yellow croakers in the puddles, and that a typhoon was coming.

Even the news that Lin Aijun led a group to cause trouble for Lin Shuisheng, and then fainted on the spot at the entrance of the Tianhou Temple, kneeling down and hitting his head on the steps, bleeding profusely, was dug up by someone.

In an instant, the villagers fell silent, none of them daring to spread any more rumors, for fear of encountering the same misfortune as Lin Aijun.

From then on, Lin Shuisheng was shrouded in a mysterious aura, and his status in Qinglan Bay rose sharply. Even behind his back, few people dared to call him a fraud.

Instead, people are calling him "Brother Weishui" all the time.

This doesn't even include the old house plot of over a thousand square meters that he acquired with Lin Yaodong's help to cover his tracks.

In other words, this time he has gained both fame and fortune.

However, he is unaware that Lin Aijun has given him a helping hand, enabling him to forge a new path and achieve a breakthrough in both divine and human rights. Compared to his initial goal, he is only missing the right to establish a clan.

"Ah San, if you ask me, you should stop messing with Ah Shui."

"Damn it, I already told you not to call me Ah San, not to call me Ah San. If you dare to call me that again, don't think that just because you're my older brother, even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't give you any face."

"Tch, what if Ah Shui calls you Ah San?"

Tong Laosan: "..."

......

"Ah Cheng, have you gone to see Ah Shui these past few days?"

No! What about you?

"I didn't go either."

Why?

"I'm too ashamed to go. What about you?"

Me too.

"Ugh!"

As they spoke, Lin Yongxin and Lin Jiancheng exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and sighed deeply.

Back then, they were pressured by their mother-in-law to go to her door to collect the debt.

Although it wasn't their intention, seeing Lin Shuisheng transform from a debt-ridden bum into a powerful figure with hundreds of thousands of yuan in just a few days, praised by everyone, made them feel incredibly miserable.

In particular, their mother has been subtly hinting to them these past few days that they should quickly go and reconnect with Lin Shuisheng to strengthen their brotherly bond.

This made them feel incredibly frustrated!

They were the ones who sent them to collect debts before, and now they're the ones who are sending them to maintain brotherhood. They've made them do both human and ghost work, so what else can they do?

I can't very well go and complain to Lin Shuisheng, can I?

In this way, not only would Lin Shuisheng look down on them, but they themselves would also look down on themselves.

But...

But his brothers have all become rich, yet they can't be by their side...

"Ugh!"

Soon, another series of very synchronized sighs rang out.

"Come on, eldest brother, second brother, let me toast you with a bottle..."

"Hey kid, stop right there. We only bought five bottles in total. You think you can drink the last one all by yourself? No way."

Lin Chaosheng stood up and grabbed Lin Shuisheng's arm, his eyes fixed on the beer bottle.

"No, I paid for this myself, so why can't I drink it?"

Lin Shuisheng glared at Lin Chaosheng with an air of self-righteousness.

"Hey, you have the nerve to say that? Who was it that kept saying they'd treat us to beer? You only bought five bottles. Who do you think you are?"

Lin Chaosheng rolled his eyes and sat back down, somewhat annoyed.

"Well, I was worried that you'd be too drunk and cause problems since you need to go to town to sell fruit early tomorrow morning!"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow and spread his hands out somewhat innocently.

Hearing him say that, Lin Chaosheng and Lin Haisheng exchanged a glance and then laughed with amusement.

"What are you laughing at?"

His eyes narrowed, and he had a bad feeling.

"Ahem!"

Lin Chaosheng coughed a few times, his expression turned serious, and he spoke earnestly:

"Well, my older brother and I have other things to do tomorrow morning, so we can't go to town to sell fruit. This glorious and arduous task can only be entrusted to you."

"No, I've never sold fruit before. Aren't you worried I'll lose money?"

Lin Shuisheng's expression froze, and then he looked at his older brothers speechlessly.

"It's okay, I've thought it all out for you. Just go to the farmers' market and find Sister Hui, the owner of the third wholesale stall on the left after you enter. Just tell her my name."

Lin Chaosheng waved his hand, looking confident.

After saying that, he quickly glanced at the kitchen, leaned close to Lin Shuisheng's ear, and whispered mysteriously,

"Let me tell you! That Sister Hui is really hot. You're in for a treat tomorrow."

"Get out of here, what do you take me for?"

Lin Shuisheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out to push Lin Chaosheng away.

"It's okay, I understand. Don't worry, this is a secret between you and me, and only heaven and earth know about it. No third person will know."

Lin Chaosheng wrapped his arms around Lin Shuisheng's neck, chuckled, and winked at him.

Lin Shuisheng: "..."

"Wait, what were you guys talking about just now? Why were you being so secretive?"

Lin Haisheng was furious when he saw Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shuisheng whispering to each other without him.

"Go away, what we're talking about isn't suitable for an honest person like you. You should just go drink your wine!"

Lin Chaosheng glanced at Lin Haisheng and waved his hand dismissively.

Then, he pulled Lin Shuisheng aside and whispered for a long time, explaining the whole situation of Sister Hui, and finally added a comment...

"Keep it up, don't embarrass your second brother!"
