Chapter 328: Useless teammates can't be carried

Wu An is not just speaking casually.

He was reborn, not to live a helpless, miserable life.

Of course.

Living freely does not mean being irresponsible.

Not to be a slave to life, but to be its master; to achieve this goal, one thing must first be satisfied.

That is having money in hand.

Material things aren't everything, but without them it's absolutely impossible.

With a material foundation, one can more calmly pursue more.

The two brothers were talking, the adults were also talking, and Li Juan sighed: "This kid said he'd grow up, and he did."

"A An also wants to be an adult."

"I don't know when A Qing will also get engaged and married."

A Qing is actually not that old.

He just came of age.

Not to mention A Qing, even Wu An hasn't yet reached the legal age to get a marriage certificate, but after next year's matters are settled, he'll be about old enough.

As for A Qing,

that's still far off.

However.

The rules are the rules, but around here many people first handle the matter and then make up the paperwork.

As long as the wedding banquet is held, the bride can move into the groom's family home.

It happened to be low tide.

Wu An felt like it, and since he hadn't gone clamming at the beach in a few days, he called A Qing, grabbed his gear, and went clamming.

Upon arriving at the beach, many people greeted him, some followed him to go clamming, and others asked if he was going to get engaged.

They asked whether he would hold a banquet.

Wu An couldn't say for sure, so he deflected by saying he'd listen to Wu Yingwei.

That was also the truth.

On this matter, he also wanted to voice some opinions, but they were all rejected, or rather, he didn't understand or know about these things.

Everything is to follow the elders.

Saying too much would just cause a joke.

Wu An walked toward the tidal flats, and by the time he arrived, many people were already following behind him.

He was also speechless.

Fortunately he had already prepared a fishing boat; otherwise, clamming here in the village would be useless even with lots of Luck Value, just making wedding clothes for others.

Just do it casually.

After boosting their meager Luck Value, he and A Qing stepped into the tidal flats, one deep step, one shallow.

Others followed.

It seemed like wherever he went, everyone else went too.

A Qing looked, somewhat annoyed: "Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Following me and my brother to do what?"

Some people, thin-skinned, didn't talk back.

Most people still care about face; if they followed Wu An and A Qing's behavior, in another village the old women would surely be yelling at the top of their lungs.

They only dared not to act arrogantly and scold them because they relied on Wu An and A Qing being young and of low seniority.

If A Qing says a couple of sentences, just let him say it; no need to talk back.

Some people didn't care about face and retorted: "Who's following you? We'll walk however we like; can you control us?"

"Exactly, you're being overly controlling."

"Don't show off; maybe by the time you'll have less seafood than we do."

A Qing wanted to scold them.

Wu An shouted at him.

A Qing whispered: "Brother, these people..."

Wu An calmly said: "Let them go."

The Luck Boosting tool does indeed have the effect of gathering seafood, but here on the tidal flats its effect should be very limited.

This tool is more for digging up seafood.

So.

Even if these people follow, they can only pick up what he and A Qing leave behind.

Anyway, it's just casual clamming; there's no need to argue with these people.

The key is that you can't win an argument.

He and A Qing only have two mouths, while these shameless people couldn't possibly out-shout this bunch.

Better to save some energy and put effort into the tidal flats.

These shameless fellows, while talking big with their mouths, aren't idle with their hands, digging around them.

They had the posture of "dig quickly, dig fast, while Wu An and A Qing haven't started, so they can dig up the treasures first."

As a result, they dug several shovelfuls.

Still got nothing.

These people all felt somewhat disappointed.

Everyone else was the same; they quickly surrounded Wu An and A Qing and dug over the area, but in the end they also didn't manage to find any valuable seafood.

They were very disappointed.

They were shameless, ended up with nothing, and someone couldn't help but speak.

"A An, your luck isn't great either."

"Yeah, I thought following you would net us some valuable seafood, but it turned out worse than me just randomly digging somewhere."

"With such luck, you won't even let us follow you—what's the point?"

Wu An found it funny and scolded: "If that's the case, then hurry up and get lost."

Not bothering to argue with you lot, do you really think I'm easy to bully?

I've indulged you enough.

When you follow and make money, you don't even give a cent; when you don't make money, you still complain?

Disgusting behavior.

"@*%%$￥:" A Qing cursed, still somewhat angry, and casually dug with his shovel.

As a result, with that shovel thrust down and pulled up, it brought out several razor clams.

These razor clams were covered in mud and sand; at first he didn't see them clearly, but after being pricked he realized.

"Holy shit!"

"Brother, brother, they're razor clams."

"123, nice haul, I suddenly got three razor clams with that shovel."

A Qing shouted loudly on purpose.

Wu An smiled and nodded, also digging up several razor clams; it looked like the Luck Value boost was still effective.

The two kept digging as they moved forward.

The harvest kept coming.

"Brother, we've almost filled half a bucket."

"Look at this big one."

A Qing held up a king razor clam and shouted.

Wu An said nothing, then produced an even larger king razor clam, about the size of a child's fist.

A razor clam this large, especially wild, is quite rare.

The Luck Value was also dropping rapidly.

The people around were stunned.

What's going on?

Someone saw Wu An dig up such a large razor clam, felt envious, and went straight to his side to dig.

Wu An ignored him.

He kept digging at his own pace, the person followed behind; as a result, Wu An dug razor clams ahead while the person ate mud behind.

Angry, that person cursed.

As soon as he opened his mouth, mud splashed in again.

"If you want to follow, then follow."

"Is my brother that easy to follow?"

"If you could manage to get any goods, you'd be impressive."

"No wonder my brother doesn't care about you guys; it's nothing to him."

"Still trying to leech off my brother—eat shit, you, hahaha."

A Qing happily twisted his waist.

"You lack skill, bad luck clings to you and you can't dig anything, yet you blame my brother's bad luck."

"Pah."

"How does that saying go? You can't drag along pig teammates."

"Da Jun, don't turn pale—you're the one I'm talking about."

"Not convinced?"

"If you've got the ability, dig up a king razor clam."

Wu An smiled; inside he still felt somewhat pleased.

The named Da Jun cursed and walked away; the people around saw this and couldn't help but sigh that Wu An and A Qing's luck was somewhat good.

It's widely said to be the protection of Goddess Mazu.

That's probably not false.

Wu An and A Qing dug a full bucket of razor clams, weighing about twenty-plus catties, which could sell for four or five hundred yuan.

Not bad.

Going out for odd jobs, working hard all day, you might not even earn that much.

The two headed back; on the road they met several villagers on good terms, and Wu An casually gave them some pointers.

The pointers were just an excuse; he secretly gave their tools a little Luck Value boost.

? Each person got a bit, the main point being even distribution.

Anyway, keeping this Luck Value would be wasteful; better to trade it for favors—even a kind word is a gain.

Moreover, consuming Luck Value can also raise its upper limit for them.

Two benefits at once.
