The villagers did not have a special vision like hers; because of this, they had no idea what kind of treasures were hiding underneath the holes that they had made and left before reaching the real treasure. This was why Han Ruochen said that she was going to teach her uncle how to make use of others’ hard work for his own benefit.

When Second Uncle Han heard her words, he parted his lips but then closed them off because he remembered that Han Ruochen was more skilled at catching seafood than he was. If she said that there was something good in the mudflat, maybe she was aware of something. So, even though he was feeling a bit dubious, he still followed Han Ruochen into the mudflat with Tong Zhaodi.

"Do you think we will catch something?" Second Uncle Han asked Tong Zhaodi in a soft voice as they entered the mudflat. Earlier, they were standing at the edge of the mudflat, and he did not see the countless holes that were already scattered all over the land, but now that they were standing in the middle of the mudflat, he could see that there was not a single good place left in the mudflat.

The entire mudflat was covered with holes and more holes. It was like standing in the middle of a badly caved-in land that could fall at any moment. So where could they even catch anything good? And when he thought about what his wife would say if he did not go back with a few hundred yuan, Han Cheng felt a headache coming. There was nothing wrong with earning a little less. But for some reason, his wife believed that as long as he followed Han Ruochen, he could earn a lot of money.

If he did not bring at least a hundred yuan with him, then Chen Hui would not let him sleep in peace tonight.

"Just dig here." Han Ruochen casually pointed to a hole and asked her second uncle and Tong Zhaodi to start digging.

Hearing her command, even if Han Cheng felt a bit confused, he still squatted down and started to dig with Tong Zhaodi. While Han Ruochen started to dig in another corner. With the help of the sea scanning system, she saw the blue crab that was hiding underneath the sand. This should be enough for tonight’s dinner. From what she could see, the blue crab was not only monstrous but also had one of its legs broken.

With this one alone, she could make some crab rangoons.

With her dinner set, Han Ruochen started to dig the sand fervently.

"It has only been a few days, and Han Ruochen is back to digging the shore again. Is it true that she didn’t catch anything good at the sea?"

The person who spoke was none other than Mother Yang. She came to visit her mother because there was nothing good happening at the Yang family home. Ever since her son was caught having an affair with his sister-in-law, no one was willing to marry their daughter off to him. What was even worse was that without an iron-bowl job, none of the women in the cities was willing to marry him either.

Mother Yang was thus really upset when she thought about how it was Han Ruochen who found out about the affair and disclosed it. What was even more frustrating was that her son was kicked out of his job, but Han Ziyan actually purchased a job and was working in the warehouse. Even if the job only paid thirty yuan, it was a respectable job, and Han Ziyan would be able to get married to a decent man.

But what about her son? Because her son had no job, he had to sit at home and roam around like a useless man.

"Who knows? Everyone says that she brings tonnes of boxes when she goes to the sea, but no one knows what she brings in them." Aunt Li had a good relationship with the Han family and could not help but speak up for Han Ruochen when she heard Mother Yang scold Han Ruochen.

She wanted to stop Mother Yang from speaking too much lest she hurt someone through her words. But how could Mother Yang be willing to stop? She had finally gotten a chance to criticise Han Ruochen. The only reason she was still able to stay calm these past few days was that Han Ruochen also lost her job; if Han Ruochen was still working in the school and only her son was kicked out, then Mother Yang would have lost her mind.

"Humph, what treasures? I bet that she is only bringing nothing but empty boxes. If she was having a good hunt at the sea, why would she be scavenging at the shore? It’s because she is not doing well at sea that she returned."

Mother Yang snorted. She then raised her nose in the air and walked away without saying anything more.

If she stayed any longer, she was worried that she would end up cursing Han Ruochen and her ancestors.

Aunt Li watched her leave and shook her head. The Wu family’s daughter was good at everything, but she was just too bad-tempered. Clearly, the fault lay with her son, but instead of accepting that they had let Han Ruochen down, they were busy blaming her.

She only hoped that now that Mother Yang was in the village, she would not cause trouble for Han Ruochen and her family. But Aunt Li had little to no hope when it came to Mother Yang. That woman was like a mad dog; every time she was in a bad mood, she had to bite someone.

**

"Mom!"

Mother Yang hurried inside the courtyard of the Wu family and rushed toward her mother like a gust of wind. When she saw her mother sitting on the kang and nursing her legs, she could not help but burst into tears. "Mom, what should I do? If this goes on, then I am worried that Jianming will be ruined!"
