Chapter 61: The Eel Was Caught

Seeing Xiao Su Bao's excited expression, Tang Da Bao said somewhat helplessly, "This thing is called an eel, so of course it's edible."

They live near a small river, and the soil here has a very high water content, so people occasionally catch eels.

It would be fine if it were someone else, but when the Tang family was around, no one ever caught an eel.

Let alone eels, even horseshoes are hard to find.

Tang Xin couldn't help but rub her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating today.

"It really is an eel," Tang Xin muttered, leaning closer for a closer look.

This eel is quite large, as thick as a little boy's arm.

The little dumpling held it effortlessly, with a smile on its face.

Tang Xin couldn't help but take a step back, feeling a chill run down her spine.

After all, she was a girl. She could tolerate seeing boys catching eels, but she was genuinely afraid of them.

Little Su Bao was extremely excited, and she threw the eel directly into her basket.

"It's good that they can eat it. Then Su Bao, grab some more for your nephew, mother, brother, and sister-in-law!"

Little Su Bao squinted her eyes, her face full of smiles.

Eating meat is always more filling than eating vegetables, and the little baby got used to it, so he subconsciously wanted to find more eels.

Tang Xin, standing nearby, blurted out instinctively, "There aren't many eels here..."

Upon hearing Tang Xin's words, Xiao Su Bao's smile immediately faded, and she looked somewhat sullen.

Seeing Little Su's expression, Tang Dabao couldn't help but glare at Tang Xin.

He turned around and patted Xiao Su Bao on the shoulder: "Alright, Auntie, don't mind her. Auntie has already found plenty of food today."

Little Su Bao's eyes were red. She heard what her nephew Da Bao said, so she raised her head and looked at her nephew Da Bao pitifully.

Seeing the determination on her nephew Da Bao's face, Xiao Su Bao finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Tang Xin, who was standing to the side, realized that she might have said something wrong. Looking at Xiao Su Bao Na's pitiful appearance, she nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, your nephew is right. Su Bao found more food today than we usually find in two or three days."

Tang Xin firmly believes that Xiao Su Bao is her younger sister, and as for her aunt, she could never call her that, not in this lifetime.

Little Su Bao felt a little disappointed, but the next moment, she blinked, as if she couldn't believe it.

She pointed to a spot not far from them: "If there aren't many eels, what's that over there?"

As soon as Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, her little feet already had their own ideas, and she strode towards the small pile of eels.

Tang Dabao and Tang Xin followed behind Xiao Subao. Since there was no one else around them at the moment, the pile of eels was very conspicuous.

Little Su Bao didn't care about anything else, and stuck out her butt, holding one in each hand.

In no time, he caught four or five eels and put them directly into his basket.

There are so many eels; they must weigh at least several pounds.

Tang Dabao couldn't resist and joined Xiao Su Bao in grabbing some.

Even Tang Xin, who was standing nearby, stepped in to help, carrying a basket and chasing after the two of them.

Before long, the basket that should have been filled with water chestnuts was filled with eels.

Tang Xin looked on in disbelief.

She swallowed hard, then looked up at Xiao Su Bao and Tang Da Bao.

"Tang Dabao, has your family's luck changed?" Tang Xin was stunned when she said this.

After all, the Tang family's misfortune wasn't limited to Tang Dabao's generation; the entire Tang family had never had good luck since they came to their village.

Even Tang Cheng, the village chief, was extremely unlucky.

Little Su Bao looked at the two of them in confusion, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

Little Su Bao had no idea about the Tang family's past.

Just as Tang Dabao was about to speak, he suddenly heard Tang Erbao calling out to him.

"Big brother, come and see what we caught!" Tang Erbao shouted excitedly, his little face flushed and his eyes sparkling.

Tang Dabao was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Did you catch a fish?"

Tang Erbao's smile faltered, and he looked at his older brother in surprise.

How did the eldest brother know they caught a big fish? Could it be that someone was faster than him?

"Who told you we caught a big fish? I wanted to tell Big Brother myself," Tang Erbao said, somewhat unhappy.

Tang Dabao was indeed stunned. He had only said it casually, so how did he guess the truth?

At this moment, Tang Xin's eyes widened in disbelief. It seemed that the Tang family had truly turned their luck around.

If that's the case, I wonder if Tangjia Village will turn its fortunes around?

Little Su Bao looked at them with confusion, feeling that these things had something to do with her.

Upon hearing that Tang Erbao had caught a big fish, he immediately laughed excitedly.

The little dumpling looks even cuter when it's so happy.

"That's about enough for today, let's go home now." Tang Dabao was both anxious and excited.

Their luck is really about to change!

Little Su Bao nodded immediately; her tummy was also a little hungry.

The group walked to the riverbank and saw Tang Sanbao struggling to hold a huge carp.

That carp was about the same size as Tang Sanbao.

He was extremely excited when he saw his aunt and his two older brothers coming over.

"Little Aunt, look! I caught a big fish for you!" Tang Sanbao shouted, and started to run towards them.

But before he could even run over, the big fish suddenly wagged its tail and slapped him hard across the face.

Immediately afterwards, the large fish tail swayed in the air and then landed directly in Xiao Su Bao's arms.

Little Su Bao held the big fish, her eyes filled with confusion.

What just happened?

Tang Sanbao's tears were all drawn out.

It really hurts!

But looking at my aunt holding the carp, how come she looks just like the lucky baby holding the carp in the New Year's painting?

He rubbed his face, not minding the pain, and jogged after him.

The carp was held in Xiao Su Bao's arms, and for a moment she didn't know whether to put it down or hold it.

"You're still young, so please don't tire yourself out!" Tang Dabao looked at his aunt with some concern. He really realized that his aunt was their family's lucky star.

Just then, Xiao Su Bao's eyes widened. Without thinking of anything else, she quickly dropped the carp in her arms and ran towards the riverbank.

Sometime later, Tang Xin walked to the riverbank, put her hand in the water, and was about to wash her hands.

As soon as Tang Xin put her hand into the river, I felt a bone-chilling cold.

This late spring cold snap is really quite chilly.

However, the chill was nothing to Tang Xin. Just as she was about to continue washing her hands, Xiao Su Bao rushed over, grabbed her clothes, and the two of them fell backward together.

"Little Su Bao, what are you doing?"

Tang Xin was somewhat confused.

But at that moment, something suddenly emerged from the previously calm water.

In that instant, Tang Xin was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

"Ah..." Tang Xin screamed and instinctively pulled Xiao Su Bao towards the shore.

The two ran quite a distance before daring to look back, only to find that the thing that had just appeared had vanished.

Little Su Bao didn't recognize what kind of fish it was, but just now, she saw that strange fish drag Tang Xin into the water.

Tang Xin couldn't struggle for more than a couple of seconds before losing consciousness, and the water surface turned completely red.

Little Su Bao patted his chest and gasped for breath.

That really scared her to death.

"Are you alright, niece?" Little Su Bao was still concerned about Tang Xin at this moment.

Tang Xin slowly recovered and opened her eyes wide to look at the water.

"Come up here, don't go into the river," Tang Xin shouted loudly towards the boys.

The boys didn't take it seriously, thinking that Tang Xin and the other girls were just too timid.

Just as the boys were about to speak, Xiao Su Bao suddenly trembled all over.

"Run...run!"
