Xiaoxiao slapped his own forehead. “Damn it… are we stupid? We could just dump the stuff from our buckets onto the boat, couldn’t we? Then we can free the buckets up and keep filling them!” A’Zheng also suddenly understood. “Right! We can pour everything onto the boat and each keep our own pile in a corner. Once we get back, we can put it into sacks.” “Damn, pig brains… we sat there for so long doing nothing, just watching Dongzi dig by himself.” “Go, go, go. Let’s…-

Seeing so many shellfish on the reef, everyone grew excited again. The disappointment from earlier instantly vanished without a trace. Ye Yaodong was also visibly delighted. The tide had only just started going out. Once it fully receded, even more of the reef surface would be exposed. “Everyone split up and do your own thing.” After saying that, he didn’t rush to dig. Instead, he first searched around the area. Only when he found a reef covered in small wild abalone did he bend down and…

Their plan was to spend the morning dragging a few nets around the nearby waters to see if they could get lucky like yesterday and encounter another big catch. Once the tide was almost fully out in the afternoon, they would go tidal gathering on the isolated island. They had no intention of heading too far offshore. After all, they weren’t seriously trawling for fish. Real trawlers usually headed out around one or two in the morning, at the latest by two or three. Just reaching the fishing…

Second Sister-in-law was left speechless by Father Ye’s words. Ye Yaohua also glared at her, and only then did she unwillingly back down. She simply felt that her husband did the most work, while Ye Yaodong barely did anything and had always been enjoying the benefits without contributing. Deep down, she had long felt dissatisfied. Now her husband’s earnings from going out to sea with the family were being handed over for house construction, while Ye Yaodong went off on his own and kept all the…

Everyone waited patiently for a while before Lin Xiuqing finally set down the abacus and said, “It’s 7,628 jin, totaling 1,601 yuan, 8 mao, and 8 fen. The calculation is correct.” “I told you there wouldn’t be any mistake. We’re all from the same village. I wouldn’t stoop so low as to cheat you on the weight. Business relies on honesty.” Ye Yaodong grinned and said, “I never said Brother Cai was cheating us. I just thought with numbers this big, it’s easy to make mistakes…

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. The evidence was literally right in front of her, yet his mother still kept questioning him, refusing to believe it. “Mom, you’ve already seen it, so why are you still asking? Isn’t it obvious?” “When did you go out to sea? Why didn’t you say anything beforehand? Whose boat was it?” “Didn’t I say at noon that I was going out and asked A’Qing to cook noodles for me early? I left right after eating. The boat was rented.” “It’s only been a…

Ye Yaodong smiled at everyone and said, “I want to keep two or three Spanish mackerel to bring home. My family’s house construction starts tomorrow, and we’ll need to provide food and drinks for the workers. A few fish would be perfect for making mackerel fish balls. Also, there’s all this miscellaneous seafood. We won’t finish it all in one meal anyway, so I’d like to keep some for tomorrow’s dishes too. Since we’re splitting all the catch evenly, whatever I keep can just be deducted…

Ye Yaodong was also extremely excited. He had only wanted to come out and overcome the lingering fear of seawater, yet he had unexpectedly gained such a huge harvest. Had he really become blessed by koi luck? Grinning, he joked, “More than just worshipping Mazu—I practically sacrificed myself to Mazu in exchange for this good luck.” A’Zheng’s eyes widened. “Damn… so sacrifices are required? If I’d known earlier, we shouldn’t have saved you just now. Maybe we could’ve…

Ye Yaodong swam through the sea, gradually adapting to the pressure the seawater brought him. Only at the very first instant when he jumped into the ocean had panic swallowed him. Luckily, he had warned these terrible friends in advance, so they hadn’t let him sink. After finding the feeling of swimming freely in the sea again, the fear in his heart gradually faded a little, and his mind relaxed much more. He paddled with both hands and feet toward the shore. Originally, they had been planning…

Only after everyone stopped staring at him in surprise did Ye Yaodong head into the house, planning to rinse off and prepare his tools. “A’Qing, cook me a bowl of noodles. I need to head out early in a bit.” “Okay.” Lin Xiuqing immediately put down what she was doing and went to cook for him. He had already warned her last night that he was planning to visit the isolated island and do some shore-hunting, so naturally she supported him. The other two sisters-in-law, however,…
