Jiang Xia had no idea she was being targeted by the female lead.

At this time, Mother Zhou, the eldest son's family, and Great-Grandmother's family also rushed over.

Tian Caihua's eyes turned red when she saw that Jiang Xia had already picked a basket of shrimp and half a basket of fish. Father Zhou was still collecting piles of shrimp, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "You've picked all the fish and shrimp on this beach. Why didn't you call us earlier?"

Besides shrimp, the Typhoon also brought up some fish. A fish is worth more than a shrimp, and Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia would pick them up first when they saw them.

Jiang Xia was too lazy to even acknowledge Tian Caihua, not even glancing at her.

The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more smug she becomes. She'd rather spend that time picking up two more shrimp to make money.

Let her talk to herself and feel frustrated! Zhou Chenglei also didn't say anything.

Father Zhou said, "Didn't Xiao Xia say so? She wanted to come while it was still raining! Hurry up and pick them up! While others haven't come yet, pick up as much as you can. Xiao Xia and A'Lei came in the rain."

Tian Caihua pursed her lips and didn't bother to be sarcastic. She quickly ran to a dense area to pick up shrimp.

She used a small trowel to pile the shrimp up, but she saw that Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei were using rakes to pull the surrounding shrimp together with a few strokes! She was full of regret!

If only she had brought a rake too.

She even suspected that Jiang Xia had known there were so many shrimp on the beach.

But how was that possible?

It could only be said that it was a lucky coincidence. She just had good luck.

Some people are just born with particularly good luck, like Jiang Xia, whose father is a big leader and whose mother is a factory director. She heard that she used to go to school in a jeep since she was a child.

Heaven is so unfair. She was almost thrown away at birth because she was a daughter, and going to school was even more impossible.

Mother Zhou and Great-Grandmother were together, and they also saw that the improved rakes in Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei's hands were useful.

Great-Grandmother said, "How did you think of making the rake like this?"

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Xiao Xia made it."

Great-Grandmother said, "Oh, Xiao Xia is really smart. People with education have good brains!"

Mother Zhou deeply agreed. She looked at the basket of shrimp and couldn't stop smiling.

Jiang Xia's sea luck was really good. In the past, after Typhoons, there weren't so many shrimp! It was a once-in-a-century event! Others go to the sea when the tide is low, but she goes to the sea, and the first time she comes, the whole beach is full of fish and shrimp waiting for her to collect.

Mother Zhou also regretted not coming along just now.

Mother Zhou excitedly picked up the shrimp on the beach.

As the rain decreased, villagers also came to the beach one after another, and more and more people came to the beach.

In less than half an hour, the entire beach was full of people.

Zhou Chenglei called Father Zhou to collect the shrimp in the surrounding net.

There were too many people on the beach, and since they had already picked up a lot of shrimp, Jiang Xia simply went to the reef.

Seeing her walk away, Zhou Chenglei called out to her, "Jiang Xia, where are you going?"

Jiang Xia pointed to the reef and said, "I'm going to take a look there."

Zhou Chenglei told her, "Be careful, the surface of the reef might be slippery."

Jiang Xia nodded to show she understood, and then walked towards the reef with her bucket.

Wen Wan heard Zhou Chenglei calling Jiang Xia's name, looked over, and saw Jiang Xia going to the reef pile. Her heart was pounding!

She had searched the beach and couldn't find the two pearl conches from her dream. They must be in the reef pile.

She can't let Jiang Xia pick them up first!

She still needs to earn money for tuition.

Wen Wan also hurried towards the reef pile.

Jiang Xia saw Wen Wan passing her and walking quickly towards the reef pile, but she didn't care.

The beach wasn't hers. Whoever wants to go wherever they want, she can't control it.

Jiang Xia walked at a leisurely pace, and when she saw air holes bubbling under her feet, she would dig them with a small shovel to see if there were any shellfish.

Jiang Xia slowly dug at the air holes while walking towards the pile of rocks.

Suddenly, a large object flew over and hit Jiang Xia's calf.

Jiang Xia glanced at the big guy that had landed at her feet. It was a sea snail covered in thorns.

It was a very large one, and the thorns were also very long! Jiang Xia felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, she was wearing long water boots, otherwise her calf would definitely have several bloody holes!

But there was still a stinging pain in one spot on her calf! Jiang Xia lifted her trouser leg to take a look, and she had indeed been injured!

A drop of blood quickly formed and flowed down her fair skin into her water boot.

Jiang Xia quickly pressed down on the wound.

Zhou Junjie almost stepped on a sea snail covered in thorns. If he had, even with shoes on, his foot would probably have been ruined! In a fit of anger, he kicked it away, not expecting it to hit Jiang Xia.

It must have hit Jiang Xia's foot! Jiang Xia's skin was so fair and tender, and only a small section of her leg was exposed, appearing to glow white from a distance.

He was about to walk over and take the opportunity to show concern, maybe even touch her...

But Pan Daidi grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

"Someone got hit. I'm going to see if they're injured."

Pan Daidi also saw Jiang Xia get hit and bleed.

Jiang Xia's skin was so white that the blood was especially noticeable.

She grabbed Zhou Junjie, frustrated, and pulled him away, "Are you stupid? If you go over there now, do you want to pay for medical expenses? Of course, you deny it! There are so many people on the beach, who knows who kicked it! Don't admit it!"

At this time, Jiang Xia also looked up to see who had kicked such a dangerous thing over.

In that direction, she saw Pan Daidi and her son, as well as several villagers bending over to pick up things.

She suspected that Pan Daidi and her son had kicked it, but she didn't see it.

"Who kicked this sea snail over here! Someone got hurt!"

Pan Daidi shouted back, "Didn't see it, it wasn't us!"

From a distance, Zhou Chenglei saw Jiang Xia roll up her trouser leg and noticed the blood on her calf.

The shrimp in the surrounding net had been collected, and he left the remaining net for Father Zhou to put away, hurrying over.

Wen Wan also happened to see Jiang Xia get hit, and she even saw the big guy that hit Jiang Xia! Wen Wan's breath hitched! The sea snail from her dream that produced pearls!

Because it was covered in thorns, she had a particularly strong impression of it.

Wen Wan hurried over.

I hope Jiang Xia doesn't pick it up, doesn't pick it up! She's not from the coast, she probably doesn't know, right?

Zhou Chenglei ran over, and Jiang Xia was bending over, pressing on the bleeding area.

He squatted down, "How did you get hurt? Let me see."

"It's nothing, I don't know who kicked this thing over, and it hit my calf. Luckily, I was wearing water boots, which blocked some of it. Only one long thorn pricked me, otherwise my leg would have been ruined."

"Let me see how deep the wound is." Zhou Chenglei was worried.

For this kind of thin, sharp wound, if it's too deep, she needs a tetanus shot as a precaution.

Jiang Xia let go of her hand, "It's not very deep, the bone blocked it, and the water boot also absorbed most of the force."

Zhou Chenglei took a look. Fortunately, the wound was indeed not very deep. He looked up at her, "Does your bone hurt? I'll take you to the Health Clinic to get it checked."

Being hit by such a large Orangutan Sea Chrysanthemum Clam, he didn't know if it had injured her bone.

Go to the Health Clinic again? Jiang Xia quickly shook her head, "No, it wasn't very strong when it hit me. There's no need to go to the Health Clinic. It's not that exaggerated. If I go to the Health Clinic, the doctor will laugh at me again. Look, the blood isn't even flowing anymore."

Zhou Chenglei also thought of the last time she had a fever and he took her to see the doctor, "It's normal to see a doctor when you're injured."

Wen Wan walked over at this time, glanced at the sea snail, and said gently, "Sister Jiang Xia, are you injured? Are you okay?"

Jiang Xia was surprised that she would actually take the initiative to talk to her, and replied, "I'm okay, I was hit by this thing. I don't know who kicked it over."

Jiang Xia gently kicked the Orangutan Sea Chrysanthemum Clam with her foot.

The Orangutan Sea Chrysanthemum Clam rolled to Wen Wan's feet.

Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat, then she nonchalantly bent down to pick it up.
