"Ring ring ring..."

Lin Xue's sweet dream was disturbed by the alarm clock, so she rubbed her eyes and woke up the two people sleeping in the next bed.

"Wake up! If you stay up any longer, you'll miss your chance to go beachcombing!"

The two, who were sleeping soundly, jumped out of bed as soon as they heard the words "beachcombing."

The two of them pushed and shoved each other into the bathroom, and after washing up, they put on the clothes that Lin Xue had prepared for them.

The three of them then went to the front desk on the first floor and picked up the tools they had ordered the night before.

Finally, at the manager's suggestion, we waited for the other tourists who were also going to the beach, and then followed the hotel's guide to the beach.

This beach also belongs to the hotel, and they do not allow anyone other than hotel guests to enter and go beachcombing.

There are dedicated personnel patrolling this area, so this sea area is relatively safe.

Furthermore, before high tide, people come to remind and patrol to ensure the safety of travelers.

After arriving at the beach, the tour guide explained the precautions to them and then let them each take their own tools to collect seafood on the beach.

The tour guide himself carried a bucket and tools, and began searching the beach.

He only stops to talk to tourists who need his answers. He is also a beachcombing enthusiast, otherwise he wouldn't be doing this job here.

"Auntie, look what I found!"

Lin Xiaoxiao soon discovered her first prize, a conch shell bigger than her fist.

"Xiaoxiao is great! I haven't achieved anything yet, I need to hurry up and work harder!"

Lin Xue glanced at the large conch shell in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and felt a little envious.

So he stopped looking at the other tourists around him and focused on his search.

"Xiaoxiao, come quick! Look what Grandma found!"

Soon, Zhang Xiaolan also made some gains, while Lin Xue was still empty-handed.

"It's a giant octopus!"

"Grandma, you're amazing! Auntie, you need to keep it up!"

Lin Xiaoxiao craned her neck to look at her grandmother's water bucket and nodded in satisfaction.

However, the way they looked at Lin Xue was a bit strange, as if the reason she hadn't found any seafood yet was because she wasn't taking it seriously.

"Hmph, you two, don't be so smug. One day I'll surpass you!"

Lin Xue was looked down upon by her little niece, and turned her face away angrily. Then she took the tongs and began to examine the stones at her feet.

Unfortunately, after turning over several rocks, we didn't find any conch shells or octopuses, and we didn't even see a single sea fish.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xiaolan were displaying a large crab, an octopus, and a small conch shell all at once.

"I've tried so hard, so why am I left with nothing?"

Lin Xue angrily sat down on a large rock, no longer wanting to look for any more seafood.

It seems like she's destined to have a bad day, so why bother trying?

"Auntie, you can't give up!"

"Our teacher said that we shouldn't give up because of temporary setbacks; maybe you'll be the biggest winner!"

Seeing Lin Xue's self-destructive state, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she might have gone too far, so she stepped forward and quietly comforted her.

"Don't you think it's a little embarrassing that your aunt didn't find a single seafood?"

Lin Xue sighed, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose little bucket was full of harvest, and then looked at her own bucket, which was still empty.

"Don't be discouraged, Auntie! Xiaoxiao will share some with you!"

Seeing that Lin Xue was truly disappointed, Lin Xiaoxiao took two octopuses from her bucket and put them into Lin Xue's bucket.

"Isn't this much happier?"

She smiled brightly, which made Lin Xue somewhat lost in thought.

How could the original owner of this body in her past life have been so cruel to such a sunny and lovely girl?

Although she didn't sell her niece herself, she did watch as strangers approached Lin Xiaoxiao and turned a blind eye.

"I feel much better now. I'd be even happier if Ms. Zhang were willing to share some of the seafood with me!"

Lin Xue glanced at Zhang Xiaolan, who was still searching for crabs, and deliberately spoke loudly.

"Grandma, look how pitiful Auntie is, she didn't find a single crab. Why don't you share one with her?"

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately ran to Zhang Xiaolan's side and pleaded pitifully.

"Hey, Grandma, give all the fish in the bucket to your little aunt. She can carry the bucket while the two of us catch them!"

Zhang Xiaolan glanced at her daughter with amusement. Her daughter was so old, yet she was getting angry because she couldn't catch fish.

But she'd save the pampering for later; right now, she just wanted to catch every last fish that had slipped through the net on this beach and put them all in her bucket.

Seeing the bucket quickly fill up, Lin Xue felt bored just standing there, so she picked up the bucket and followed behind the two of them.

Place the bucket nearby and help move the stones to find the hidden surprise underneath.

"Mom, come and see!"

After searching for a while, Lin Xue felt that her luck had finally turned around.

They caught two octopuses and three conches in succession.

They also found something glittering in the crevice of a large rock.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go too far. I'm going to see what your aunt caught."

"Sure enough, the worse her luck was at the beginning, the better her luck became later!"

"Thank goodness Xiaoxiao, you managed to persuade your aunt and prevent her from giving up!"

The travelers scattered nearby also overheard the conversation between the three, and while they found it amusing, they began searching even more diligently.

"Let me see what you caught that you even called me over here!"

Seeing Lin Xue squatting next to a large rock, Zhang Xiaolan sidled over and looked down.

Then a large, gleaming gold bracelet appeared in front of him.

"My God!"

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but she immediately realized what was happening.

"I told you you were lucky! You found another giant octopus!"

She was worried that people would notice, so she made up a lie.

It was precisely because of her words that the curious gazes that had been peering over were withdrawn again.

Then Zhang Xiaolan squatted down and touched heads with her daughter, and together they began to examine the large gold bracelet.

"Girl, do you think this big gold bracelet is real?"

Zhang Xiaolan was very excited; she had never seen such exquisite gold jewelry in her entire life!

"I checked, it's definitely real!"

"My clothes don't have pockets today, Mom, you'd better put this big gold bracelet away quickly, so no one finds it!"

Seeing her mother's excited expression, Lin Xue quickly reminded her.

Neither she nor Lin Xiaoxiao wore clothes with pockets today, except for her mother Zhang Xiaolan's pants which had deep pockets.

The two exchanged a glance. Zhang Xiaolan took the large gold bracelet, wiped it on her body, and then carefully put it into her pocket.
