It was raining heavily and windy, so even though Chu Xuan was holding an umbrella, he was still wet.

Chu Xuan shouted through the door, "Who is it?"

"Chu Xuan, open the door! I'm Ge Shiming."

Ge Shiming? Chu Xuan repeated the name softly. It seemed like she had heard it before, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"Do we know each other?"

"Why don't you recognize me? Don't you know me, Ge Dan? I used to live next door to you. My mother is Hua Daling and my father is Ge Dagen."

Chu Xuan immediately remembered the nickname Ge Dan, but still didn't open the door. "So it's Ge Dan, the son-in-law who's going to be a live-in son-in-law! What do you want from me?"

Normally, the villagers never call Ge Dan by his full name, and have almost no impression of the name Ge Shiming.

I heard from Aunt Hua before that Ge Dan was a rich man who loved wealth and was lazy. When he saw that his family couldn't make ends meet, he took his wife to his mother-in-law's house and never came back.

In his previous life, Ge Dan got together with Qiu Daguan, learned how to steal money, and was eventually caught.

If he hadn't come today, Chu Xuan almost forgot to remind Aunt Hua to discipline him well.

Ge Dan said in a flattering tone through the crack in the door, "I heard that the typhoon brought a lot of fish to your family and you sold them for a lot of money, so I came to borrow money."

Today Li Tong directly hired a truck to transport it. It was such a big event that it was impossible to keep it secret.

Chu Xuan had thought that some people would envy her family, but she never expected that someone would come to her to borrow money.

His tone was guarded, "Why borrow money?"

"My mother is sick and needs to go to the county town for medical treatment. I need money urgently."

Ge Dan found out that his mother worked for Chu Xuan and earned a lot of money. He came back yesterday and wanted some money, but his mother refused to give it to him.

When the typhoon came, he was trapped at home and could not return to his mother-in-law's house.

If I don’t bring any money back this time, I won’t be able to explain to my wife and mother-in-law.

He just wanted to cheat Chu Xuan of her money. Anyway, his mother would come to work here in the future, so he could just deduct the money from her wages slowly.

The abacus was clacking, but she didn't expect Chu Xuan to respond, "You go home first, I'll go see Aunt Hua later."

But she couldn't go. Ge Dan quickly pretended to be sad and choked up, "My mother has...an emergency! She needs to be rushed to the hospital, otherwise she'll die! Chu Xuan, please be kind and lend me three hundred yuan!"

"Three hundred dollars? I really don't have that."

"Didn't you sell two or three carts of fish? How come you're out of money?"

“Because the bill hasn’t been paid.”

"Then you can lend me a hundred dollars for emergency."

"Not even a hundred yuan. I'm going to see Aunt Hua right now." Chu Xuan didn't believe him at all and shouted towards the bedroom, "Xiao Feng, I'm going to Aunt Hua's house. I'll lock it from the outside and take the key with me."

He opened the gate and was about to go out.

Stopped by Ge Dan.

Ge Dan is 1.65 meters tall and very thin. Compared with Chu Xuan, he is several sizes smaller.

Chu Xuan grabbed his collar, pulled him aside and put him down, glared at him, warned him to be quiet, and locked the door at the same time.

Ge Dan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Chu Xuan put her hands on her hips, her eyes gleaming with coldness. "I'll give you one more chance. It's not too late to tell the truth now. If I go to your house to verify and find out that you're lying to me, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother. Is your mother really suffering from an acute illness?"

Ge Dan took a few steps back in fright. Chu Xuan used to be just a fat man who allowed Feng Chunhua's family to beat and scold him. Why is he so scary now?

At this time, Mu Chenze's voice came, "Hua Daling is selling fish products in front of Li Tong's house. She is fine. Who said she had an emergency?"

Chu Xuan looked at Mu Chenze.

He was wearing a raincoat, rain pants, rain boots, and a rain hat. He also had a backpack on his back and a shoulder pole and two baskets in his hands. Did he just sell his fish?

Because Ge Dan was present, she didn't ask any more questions.

He raised his hand and slapped Ge Dan.

Ge Dan panicked and slipped, falling flat on his face. He didn't even bother to wipe off the mud on his raincoat and pants, and ran away using his hands and feet.

They were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be slapped by Chu Xuan.

After Ge Dan ran away, Mu Chenze spoke again, "Do you dare to try your luck at the secret spot where we catch seafood?"

Chu Xuan knew that Mu Chenze would not come to her house for no reason.

He unlocked the door with his key and asked, "Are you short of money lately? The next typhoon could be here any minute, or the one that just passed could turn around. Are you trying to save your life?"

In fact, having lived her life again, she naturally knew that it would only rain heavily and blow strongly this afternoon, but it would not be a typhoon or rainstorm.

The key point is that Mu Chenze didn't know! Yet he dared to try his luck at the secret beach spot.

Mu Chenze smiled and said, "Don't worry about whether I'm short of money or not. Just tell me if you dare to go."

Chu Xuan clenched his fists, "Of course I dare!"

She wanted to earn more money and use it all to treat her biological mother's illness when she saw her again.

In her previous life, her biological mother never forgot to send her money even when she was sick. In this life, she must cherish this mother-daughter relationship.

Mu Chenze joked, "I heard that the typhoon brought several truckloads of fish to your family, which can be sold for at least 4,000 yuan. Why are you still working so hard? It seems that you need money even more than I do."

Chu Xuan didn't plan to tell him about Tian Xiaoyun's illness. "Who would complain about having too much money? I'll tell my little brother to grab the fishing tools and we'll set off."

"Remember to wear rain boots and a raincoat. An umbrella won't help."

"Know."

“Put on a flashlight.”

"Know."

It usually took them half an hour to get there, but they took more than 40 minutes to walk.

Even on rainy days, the tide will still recede.

As soon as they reached the shore, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The beach is full of seafood, especially sea cucumbers and various fish, and a group of sea ducks are foraging for food.

The two men looked at each other and decided to catch the sea ducks first to prevent them from ruining the good fish.

When the group of sea ducks saw someone coming to catch them, they ran away as quickly as possible.

They only caught six.

Tie it up and throw it aside.

Start picking sea cucumbers.

Chatting while picking up things.

"Mu Chenze, have you ever seen a beach full of sea cucumbers and fish before?"

"No. Have you seen it?"

"Neither have I. First time."

And it’s the first time in two lifetimes.

At this time in her previous life, she hid in the house and blamed herself. She refused to go out no matter who called her from her husband's family because she had been scolded by Feng Chunhua before. She disliked her for not going to the old house earlier, otherwise so many fish would have belonged to the Chu family.

Mu Chenze's words interrupted her thoughts, "Chu Xuan, it was a good idea to take this risk today!"

Chu Xuan continued to pick up sea cucumbers swiftly, "That's right."

In less than an hour, they picked up two backpacks and four baskets of sea cucumbers.

The sea cucumbers are almost all picked up.

Next, pick up the fish.

But there are no empty backpacks or baskets anymore.

Fortunately, they both brought ropes, and Mu Chenze made several large net bags to hold larger sea fish.

In less than half an hour, all the large net bags were full.

As the tide was rising, they returned to the shore with their catch.

On the way back, Chu Xuan was a little worried. He couldn't tell anyone about the secret spot where he went to the sea, so he had to find a source for the fish.

"Mu Chenze, we have to keep our mouths on the same page and not let anything slip."

Mu Chenze answered the question irrelevantly and pointed in the direction of the dock, "Let's go this way."

"Why? Aren't you going to Li Tong's house to sell fish? He's not at the dock right now."

There will be another update at noon
