Chapter 62 Shameless bastard, serves him right!
Lin Chang'er rolled her eyes at her, "Didn't you want it? I kindly offered it to you but you couldn't accept it. Who can you blame for your own incompetence?"
At this moment, a woman chimed in, "If you're really that kind, then give it to them properly. What kind of behavior is it to dump it on someone else?"
Several other women who were also implicated chimed in, "That's right, I think you're just deliberately making fun of Xiaomei."
Sister-in-law Gu couldn't stand it anymore. "Who are you? You're trying to steal my sister-in-law's seafood! My sister-in-law is already letting it go. She caught the seafood herself, why should she give it to you? How can you be so shameless?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled, thinking that Sister-in-law Gu was becoming more and more eloquent.
The women naturally denied it, and said all at once, "You're the one who's shameless. This sea doesn't belong to your Gu family. Anyone can catch anything in the sea, how can it all be yours?"
"That's right, that's right. Why can you arrest people, but we can't?"
Sister-in-law Gu was furious. "You, you're all being unreasonable."
"Oh my, you're getting really anxious!"
Lin Chang'er found the chattering noise unbearable, and a surge of annoyance welled up inside her, which she couldn't suppress.
She didn't intend to suppress it; she slammed the fire tongs heavily on the sea, sending up a huge wave that splashed all over the women.
"Lin Chang'er, you..."
Lin Xiaomei shouted loudly, but before she could finish speaking, Lin Chang'er interrupted her, "Shut up!"
Lin Chang'er's face darkened, her cold gaze fixed on her. "Did I say anything when you came to collect seafood?"
Baba kept shamelessly sidling up to me, and Dad just turned a blind eye and tolerated it.
"You steal my things, you're ruining my chance to make money, and you expect me to be nice to you? Do you think you're some kind of pushover? Try stealing pork from someone's house, and you'd better have your hands chopped off!"
Lin Xiaomei and the other women were instantly intimidated by her imposing presence.
Lin Chang'er glanced at them and continued, "If you dare to follow me again and cause me trouble, Yu Xiaocao and Xu Jinhua will suffer the same fate. Get out!"
Lin Xiaomei and the other women exchanged glances, their lips moving as if they wanted to say something.
Lin Chang'er then pretended to raise the fire tongs again, and Lin Xiaomei and the other women cursed "shrew!" and left in a huff.
Sister-in-law Gu spat at their retreating figures, "Shameless bastards."
He then comforted Lin Chang'er, "Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. It's not worth getting upset."
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Sister-in-law is right. We're too busy making money to care about them."
The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while before continuing their search for seafood.
After Lin Xiaomei and the other women left, they huddled together and talked badly about Lin Chang'er for a while before continuing to collect seafood.
However, after a long while, they found nothing.
Lin Xiaomei couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Without Lin Chang'er, we haven't even seen a single orchid crab."
The woman beside her chimed in, "That's right! We haven't seen a single blue crab, not even a large snail. It's like all those big catches are coming to her of their own accord!"
At this moment, someone regretted, "If only we hadn't tripped her up." We could have picked up some of what she missed. She had originally found a large snail and a swimming crab, but they had all escaped after the commotion. The woman looked at the empty bucket and was filled with remorse.
Lin Xiaomei disagreed with this statement. "Who said that? If she had such good luck, her husband would have been conscripted on their wedding night and died on the way. I think you've all been fooled by her."
"Just you wait, I'll definitely catch something big and show everyone that Lin Chang'er isn't the only one with this ability."
As Lin Xiaomei spoke, she walked alone to the rocks on the side and happened to catch a glimpse of a long black shadow in the water. She hurriedly tried to grab it with tongs, but the eel was really slippery. She tried several times but failed to grab it, so she simply used her hands.
As soon as I grabbed the slippery eel, a sharp pain shot through my arm, as if a piece of my skin had been torn off.
"Ah, help me..." Lin Xiaomei cried out in pain.
After chasing away the group of troublesome women, Lin Chang'er had a stroke of good luck and caught two plump grouper, two palm-sized swimming crabs, and a nest of sea urchins.
They even discovered a rare golden eel. Only after hearing Lin Xiaomei's cries for help did she scoop the golden eel into the bucket.
Sister-in-law Gu had no idea how rare this thing was; she just thought it was golden and looked pleasing.
The next moment, several women shouted, "Help! Xiaomei has been bitten..."
When Lin Chang'er and Sister-in-law Gu arrived, they saw Lin Xiaomei sitting on the rocks, her face pale, her arms covered in blood, and a piece of her sleeve missing.
Perhaps he was too frightened to speak.
Finally, the woman who was with her spoke up for Lin Chang'er, "Sanlang's wife, you are knowledgeable, could you tell Xiaomei what bit her? I hope it's not a sea snake."
Lin Chang'er frowned. It was a matter of life and death, so she wouldn't care too much. However, "I didn't see what bit her, so I can't say for sure. The best way is to take her to see a doctor."
When Lin Xiaomei heard that she was going to see a doctor, she became more sober. What kind of family did they come from? Where would they get the spare money to see a doctor?
Then he said, "Yes, it should be a moray eel, the same length as the one you threw at me before."
Lin Chang'er gave an "Oh" indifferently, "It's not poisonous, but your wound is quite large. It's best to see a doctor." An infection would be a serious matter.
Upon hearing this, the women nearby quickly helped Lin Xiaomei up, and one of them even thanked Lin Chang'er before the group finally got ashore.
After this commotion, the villagers who had come all eager to go beachcombing also left in small groups.
Lin Chang'er also picked up a lot of good things today, so she went ashore with Sister-in-law Gu.
Before Gu Silang and his group had even left the woods, she and Gu's sister-in-law spent some time picking clams with the children on the shore.
Today, with the addition of Aunt Zhou and Zhou Li, the Gu family's water buckets were already full, with a small hill-like pile of water stacked to the side.
Since Zhou Xiaoniu's bucket was still somewhat empty, Lin Chang'er picked up a handful for him herself.
"Thank you, Third Aunt," Zhou Xiaoniu said with a smile, her eyes sparkling and pure.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "You're welcome. Did you enjoy the fried small fish tonight?"
Zhou Xiaoniu nodded, "It's delicious! My mom said it's delicious too, and she kept saying how good my aunt's cooking is!"
"My aunt fried these today," Gu Xiaolu said at the right moment.
"Oh, I see!" Zhou Xiaoniu scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
Sister-in-law Gu smoothed things over, saying, "Your aunt learned from your mother, so it's fine for Xiao Niu's mother to praise your mother."
Gu Xiaolu giggled upon hearing this, but Gu Xiaoman felt neglected. She hugged Lin Chang'er's leg and called out "Auntie" in a childish voice, pointing to her little bucket, "Xiaoman picked this up. Isn't Xiaoman amazing?"
Lin Chang'er ruffled his hair. "Our Xiaoman is amazing."
Gu Xiaoman giggled and smiled happily after receiving the praise.
Aunt Zhou casually asked if something had happened since everyone had gathered over the reef.
Lin Chang'er then told Aunt Zhou about what happened to Lin Xiaomei and the others. Aunt Zhou immediately spat, "Shameless bastards, they deserved to be bitten!"
As they were talking, Gu Silang and his group emerged from the woods.
The group seemed to be talking about something, and they were very excited, especially Zhou Xiaoniu's mother, Sister-in-law Xiaohua.
Lin Chang'er couldn't hear clearly from a distance, but when she got closer, she heard Gu Silang say, "Little Flower's sister-in-law is just as lucky as my third sister-in-law; she caught a turtle on her very first day here..."
