The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

56 A Blessing in Disaster

The three of them frowned when they heard that.

“Alright, thank you, Uncle Niu.” After thanking Uncle Niu, the three of them rushed to the beach.

When they reached the beach, they saw a boat stranded on the beach from afar.

There were also many fishermen who were laughing and pointing at the stranded fishing boat.

As they approached,

A fisherman who recognized the two of them cried out.

“Aiyo, Big Brother Zhou, Big Brother Liu, come and take a look. See if this is your family’s boat?”

The three of them ran over to take a look.

It was indeed their ship, but the ship…

“Aiya, Brother Zhou, Brother Liu, who did you offend such that this would happen? The ship is basically wrecked!”

The surrounding villagers spoke up. They seemed to be upset on their behalf, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in their voices.

The three of them could guess what was going on. Over the past few days, their fishing boat had always returned with a full load which must have made people jealous.

However, Wang Gou and Sun Er do not fish. There were probably only two reasons why the two of them would destroy their ship.

One reason was due to their previous grudge with the Zhou family. If that’s the case, it is probably that they considered destroying the ship as revenge. The other reason was that someone had got them to do this.

Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai ignored the gloating voices. They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to carry the boat back to the village to repair.

Zhou Xiaoli did not have much strength, so she could not help much. She could only follow behind.

Crack!

Suddenly, she felt as if she had stepped on something. She moved her foot and realized that it was a shell.

She kicked away the sand beside her and saw a palm-sized clam under the sand.

Moreover, she could vaguely see traces of spiritual energy from this sea clam.

After some thought, Zhou Xiaoli bent down and picked up the clam.

Just as she bent down, she realized that there was also a faint spiritual aura coming from a rock next to her.

The spiritual energy from under the rock was actually richer than the clam in her hand.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Xiaoli stepped forward to move the rock away. As expected, she saw a palm-sized clam in the puddle under the rock.

And the spiritual energy was coming from this sea clam.

“Little Li, what are you doing? Let’s go.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was walking in front, noticed that Zhou Xiaoli was lagging behind. So he stopped and called out to her.

“Aye, I’m coming!” Zhou Xiaoli replied. She picked up the clam and chased after him.

—

“What kind of bullsh*t is this! What kind of evil person are you! The action of flipping someone’s ship bottoms-up is so wicked! You’ve done too many wicked things. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

“You’re jealous of others because you don’t have the ability. The Wang family and the Sun family are just a pile of cow dung. Nothing good will come out of them!”

Lin Xiujuan stood on the street and let out curses one after another. She must have been furious.

When Zhou Xiaoli stood at the door and looked over, Lin Xiujuan had already taken her weapon to the Wang and Sun families to demand an explanation.

Lin Xiujuan was not someone who would suffer a loss quietly. With her around, the Wang and Sun families could forget about getting any peace. Zhou Xiaoli returned home then.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu and Liu Liangcai had already gone to cut wood to repair the boat.

Zhou Xiaoli walked into the courtyard with the two clams.

Zhou Junjun and Zhou Xiaoyu immediately saw the clams in Zhou Xiaoli’s hand and ran over.

“Wow, what a big clam. It’s even bigger than my hand.”

“Haha, as big as the Third Sister’s face.”

“It must be delicious.”

Zhou Xiaoli tapped the noses of the two little ones and said with a smile, “Little gluttons.”

With that, she walked into the kitchen.

The two little ones followed Zhou Xiaoli into the kitchen.

As Lin Xiujuan went to the Wang and Sun families, Zhang Lan came back from the street. Seeing the three children crowding in the kitchen, she walked into the kitchen as well and asked curiously, “What are you guys doing?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoli took out three pearls the size of fingernails from a broken clam.

Instantly, she opened her mouth in shock.

Zhou Junjun and Zhou Xiaoyu had never seen pearls before in their lives. They asked curiously, “Sister, what is this?”

Zhou Xiaoli replied casually, “This is a pearl.”

“Pearl? Is it edible?” Zhou Xiaoyu blinked curiously.

Zhou Junjun tapped the pearls on the chopping board with his small hand and said in a childish voice, “Stupid. They’re as hard as rocks. We can’t eat them, that’s for sure.”

Zhou Xiaoli was amused. “It’s not that it’s inedible, but it’s very valuable. I can buy you a lot of delicious food with it.”

“Wow, isn’t that a treasure?” When the two little ones heard this, they immediately felt that pearls were a good thing.

Zhang Lan walked over and asked in surprise, “Where did you get this pearl clam from?”

Zhou Xiaoli said casually, “I picked it up on the beach when I was on the way home. It looked big, and I thought there would be a lot of meat. Who knew that it would actually produce pearls?”

Zhang Lan, who already knew that Zhou Xiaoli was lucky, was still shocked by her find.

At this moment, Liu Fengfeng suddenly ran over to play with Zhou Junjun.

“Zhou Junjun, Zhou Junjun, let’s compete in long jump again today. I’ll definitely beat you.”

As his voice rang out, Liu Fengfeng’s head poked in from the kitchen door. He asked curiously, “Eh, it’s already so late. You guys haven’t eaten yet?”

Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun, who had treated Liu Fengfeng as a good friend by now, immediately shared the good news with him happily.

“No, we’re opening pearl clams.”

“Pearl clam? What’s a pearl clam?” Liu Fengfeng was curious and looked at the chopping board. “Ah, isn’t it just a sea clam? I don’t like to eat it. The meat isn’t delicious at all.”

As he spoke, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

“Wow, you’ve eaten clam meat before?”

Instantly, the attention of the two little ones was attracted to him. The three little fellows gathered together and discussed Liu Fengfeng’s experience of eating sea clams.

After the three little ones ran out to play, Zhou Xiaoli went ahead to open the other clam.

This pearl clam was full of spiritual energy. It must have a big pearl within.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoli take out another pearl clam, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but ask, “How many did you pick up?”

“Just two.” Zhou Xiaoli smiled. “Mother, why don’t you open this one?”

As she spoke, she handed the butcher knife over.

Zhang Lan waved her hands. “No, no. You’re our lucky star. It’s better for you to open it.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled. “Then I’ll open it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the knife cut into the pearl clam and broke it open with a crack.

The white meat inside was very plumb.

Zhang Lan was so curious that she almost leaned over to take a look. “Is there a pearl?”

Zhou Xiaoli was already groping around in the clam meat. A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on her face. “Yes!”

“And it’s not small!”

As soon as the words left her lips, she opened her palm and there laid a round and plump pearl the size of a thumb!

Looking at the pearls, Zhang Lan felt her head buzzing. She felt her tongue getting stuck in her mouth as she spoke. “This, this must be worth a lot of money.”

She had heard that pearls were very valuable, especially round and big pearls!

“Hmm, it’s alright. It should be worth some money,” Zhou Xiaoli said in a regretful manner.

Compared to the pearls in her lotus pond back then, these were really small.

Seeing her daughter being so calm about it, Zhang Lan only sighed at how amazing her daughter was. She was already stunned beyond words by such a big pearl.

When Zhou Yu returned home in the evening, she still felt that her feet were a little weak.

Seeing that Zhou Yu had returned, the excitement in Zhang Lan’s heart seemed to have found an outlet. She went up to him excitedly. “You’re finally back. Come quickly, come quickly. Come in, I’ll show you something good!”

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you so excited?” Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Lan in confusion and smiled. “Why? Did you manage to find money on the street today?”

Zhang Lan quickly closed the door and dragged Zhou Yu into the house. “You guessed right, but it’s not me. It’s our lucky star.”
