Not long after.
Then it started to rain.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, raindrops pattered against the house, and the wind picked up.
Chen Lin quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Wei Zhen, I'm leaving now."
Wei Zhen was terrified.
She was worried that she had broken some taboo, so she pulled Chen Lin and wouldn't let her leave: "It's raining so hard, what's the rush? Sit a little longer, sit a little longer."
God, for the sake of others, probably won't strike her with lightning.
The goddess Mazu is beautiful and kind-hearted, so she would never strike her.
Just as he was thinking to himself, another series of lightning flashed across the sky, making it brighter than daytime, followed by a series of "crack, crack" claps of thunder.
Wei Zhen and Chen Lin turned pale.
Chen Lin was also very scared.
Because she's not a good person either; she still remembers what she came here for—to stir up trouble.
If she really gets struck by lightning, she definitely won't escape.
Someone passing by the door saw the two women huddled together, trembling, and asked with a smile, "What bad things have you two done that you're hiding under the eaves and still so scared?"
Wei Zhen cursed and swore.
The man shook his head. "With that mouth of yours, who else would God punish if not you?"
Half an hour later.
As the rain subsided, Wei Zhen took out her phone and called several people to inquire about the situation. They had made a lot of money from beachcombing and were eating seafood every day.
They renovated the old house and even bought a car.
Good heavens, how much money did they make!
Wei Zhen was so anxious that she kept slapping her thigh. She was at a loss, at a huge loss. All of this money should have been hers.
Last time, she took all of Wu's chickens, nest and all, including the whole pot. Mei Yueqin had just made a pot of chicken soup, and she didn't let that go either.
I thought I had looted everything, but I didn't expect to miss a big fish.
Chen Lin urged, "Aunt Wei Zhen, why don't you hurry up and go?"
She couldn't wait to see Mei Yueqin get into trouble, and today she even showed off in front of her. Let's see if the Mei family can still be so arrogant then.
Wei Zhen glanced at the sky, which was still covered by dark clouds, shook his head, and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
She was afraid of being struck by lightning halfway there.
Chen Lin asked, "Don't you want to avenge Ah Long?"
"Yes, I want to." Wei Zhen coughed. "This can't be rushed."
Chen Lin asked, "Ah Long stayed in the hospital for so long, he must have been beaten pretty badly. I think that could put that kid in jail."
"Hehe... One should be forgiving when one can. As long as the money is paid, I'm magnanimous and won't hold a grudge." Wei Zhen wasn't very educated, and he said whatever came to mind without caring whether it was appropriate or not.
Actually, Chen Long didn't have anything to do at first. He initially wanted to swindle money, but later, he took a fancy to a nurse and refused to leave the hospital, saying that being close to the water tower meant he could get the moon first.
It's better this way, because she can take the opportunity to extort another sum of money.
Chen Lin chuckled, "I don't believe you for a second."
...
By the time the rain stopped, it was almost dark.
The tide is already rising.
When Aqing called to ask, Wu An thought about it and realized that he hadn't expected it to take so long to buy a car in town, so there was definitely no time to go beachcombing.
Although he didn't have much luck today, he didn't want to waste it.
"Put on your raincoats and come to our usual fishing spot."
After talking to Aqing, he started packing up his fishing gear and headed outside.
Wu Ping was worried and insisted on going along.
During his two-day break, he didn't have much to do besides preparing teaching aids and lesson plans. Since he was just idling at home anyway, he wanted to see how Wu An fished.
If given the chance, he'd like to try his hand at fishing.
Mei Yueqin said, "Don't stay out too late, come back early."
Wu Ping responded and quickly put on his raincoat, then hurriedly followed Wu An out the door.
Mei Yueqin watched the two disappear around the corner of the alley, then turned and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. The house had received a large item, which was a joyous occasion, so the meal had to be lavish.
Thinking back to when Wu Ping arrived, he couldn't stop smiling, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The atmosphere at home is even better now than when Wu An was admitted to university.
That's great.
We arrived at the large reef.
The high tide is about to come in, and the water is rising very high, submerging several iconic reefs.
That's fine too.
High tide also brings seafood from the sea.
If it weren't for the wind and rain today, villagers would have gone to the beach even at high tide.
today.
Apart from the three of them, no one else can be seen.
Ah Qing had run all the way here, her face covered in water, whether from sweat or rain, she couldn't tell. She wiped the water from her face and asked, "Brother, why don't you go find Old Mai?"
"They've been asking us to go fishing a lot these past few days."
"They even asked me what I've been busy with today."
Wu An said, "It's too far away, and it's not easy to make the trip back and forth."
“I told Old Mike.”
"It looks like a typhoon is coming. Let's wait until after the typhoon season."
Aqing asked, "Is it a typhoon?"
"Brother, is it true?"
How did you know?
“Uh…” Wu An said, “I could tell.”
Aqing scratched her head: "How come I didn't see that?"
Wu Ping said, "Ah An, aren't you overthinking this? The weather forecast didn't mention it."
Wu An couldn't explain: "Fishing, fishing."
There were only two fishing rods, and he and Aqing went fishing first while Wu Ping watched from the side.
Wu An plans to buy a few more fishing rods next time he goes to town, so that if he "accidentally" catches a giant fish and the rod breaks, he will have a replacement.
He and Aqing only had two fishing rods in total, which was actually very unprofessional.
He only had 4 luck points in total, and he was too lazy to bother with it. He added 2 points to each of them and then stopped fishing.
Cast the line and bait.
Next, we just wait.
Looking at the two calm figures and then at the surging sea, Wu Ping could see nothing; the fishing line was being blown about by the wind.
"Can you catch fish with this?"
He muttered to himself as the waves crashed against the rocks, splashing water and creating a roaring sound.
"Middle fish."
Wu An felt the fishing line tighten and the rod tip sink, and his face lit up with joy. He said, "It's quite strong. It's definitely not Shi Jiugong."
Not long after.
Wu An pulled the fish up; it was a bit yellow. He then launched it onto the rocks, where Wu Ping grabbed it and said, "It's a kingfish."
Wu An nodded: "This fish is good, it weighs a little over a pound, enough for a plate."
It has medicinal properties, but he couldn't say exactly what the benefits were. Anyway, it's very nutritious, the meat is delicious, and it can be fried, steamed, or used in soups.
Moreover, it is closely related to the large yellow croaker, which is also called cucumber fish because it makes a "quack" sound, while the croaker makes a "gurgle" sound.
It was named after its sound.
Actually, they taste pretty much the same, but the prices of the two types of fish are worlds apart. Why? Because they are different in terms of rarity.
In the early years, wild large yellow croaker was overfished. Even after farming began and some protection policies were established, the scale of wild large yellow croaker has not recovered.
Just as Wu An cast his second line, A Qing also caught a fish, pulling up a giant croaker. He exclaimed happily, "Brother, it looks like a school of giant croakers has arrived!"
Wu An nodded: "I'll try to catch a few more."
Next, the linkage mode was activated, which made Wu Ping extremely envious.
