Chapter 105 Sending Fish

Lin Qi walked very fast and was a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. The boy was stunned and seemed to understand why she was able to help him get the money back.

She must be no ordinary person!

The boy was filled with indescribable admiration and deep gratitude. When Lin Qi's back completely disappeared from his sight, he withdrew his gaze, pulled the clothes with one hand and carried the basket with the other, and walked towards home.

Today was a dream day. He earned 20 yuan, almost lost his life, but was saved, and got a fish! This big fish weighed at least 11 or 12 pounds!

Tonight, not only will their family be able to pay off their debts, but they will also have fish to eat!

The boy was so excited that he covered the fish with his wet clothes and walked towards home. He couldn't help but wonder how the girl could catch fish in such a deep river without any tools. People in his village only caught some small fish with boats and fishing nets.

The boy couldn't understand why Lin Qi became more and more mysterious in his heart. Even after many years, he still couldn't understand what happened today.

Lin Qi came down from the bridge and passed by the edge of the market.

"fish!"

"Hey, I want all your fish!"

"Who is so greedy? Anyone who sees it gets a share!"

"Ten dollars a piece, I want it!"

“.......”

A group of people ran towards Lin Qi, looking like a hungry wolf meeting a lamb, with a terrifying madness.

But they were fast, and Lin Qi was even faster. Before they could catch up, Lin Qi turned into another street and disappeared.

cold--

Lin Qi shrank back and quickened her pace again.

Killing people, rescuing people, and catching fish just now consumed a lot of her supernatural powers. Now, before she even got home, her supernatural powers were almost exhausted.

Going home in this kind of weather with a cold wind blowing, she would definitely catch a cold. It didn't matter to her, but it was Lin's father, mother and elder brother who would inevitably worry, affecting their mood for the New Year.

Lin Qi took a look at the surroundings and decided to go to her grandmother's house to take shelter, borrow a piece of clothing, and also give her grandmother and her family two fish.

However, before Lin Qi arrived at her grandmother's house, she met her eldest brother and Li Min.

"Qiqi, where are your clothes? What happened?" Lin Mo found that his sister's military coat was missing. He subconsciously thought that his sister was bullied, and his heart ached.

"I saved a drowning child and gave him clothes." Lin Qi said.

It turned out to be about saving people.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took off his military coat and put it on Lin Qi, "Are you cold?"

"It's quite cold." Lin Qi replied, and explained, "I was planning to go to my grandmother's house to borrow a piece of clothing, but I didn't expect to meet you."

"Come to my house, I can lend you some clothes." Li Min said.

"No need." Lin Qi shook her head, "Grandma's house is just ahead."

Lin Qi said as she untied a fish from the rope, "Give a fish to Sister Li."

A-choo——

Lin Mo sneezed.

"Is it very cold? Come to my house soon and I'll get you a piece of my dad's or brother's clothes." Li Min looked concerned.

"No need." Lin Mo also refused. "I'll pick a good day to come next time. I can't take you home today. Can you go back by yourself?"

When Li Min heard Lin Mo say that she would choose someone to go to her own home, her face instantly turned red, "Okay, I'll wait for you. You guys should go to grandma's house quickly, don't catch a cold."

Lin Qi and Lin Mo rushed into their grandmother's house. It was almost evening and everyone in their grandmother's house was there, and the family was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

"What's going on? Where are your clothes?" When grandma saw Lin Mo, she quickly took him to the fire, feeling heartbroken.

"Cousin, wait a minute. I'll go get you one of my coats." Li Lu said as he walked towards the room.

"Lin Qi saved a drowning child and gave her clothes to the child. I gave my coat to Qiqi." Lin Mo said concisely.

"It's so cold, and you went into the water to save someone!" Aunt looked at Lin Qi nervously, "Are your clothes wet? Go change them quickly."

"Not wet. I was standing on the shore and pulled the person out." Lin Qi said.

My aunt heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "It's so cold, girls can't touch cold water, let alone go into the water to save people. If you hurt your body, it will be difficult to have children in the future."

Before Lin Qi could say anything, her cousin's wife's expression changed.

My aunt suddenly realized what she had said. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to explain.

"I caught a few fish and left two for you." Lin Qi untied the knot of the straw rope and took out two fish.

"Oh my, such a big fish!" Li Lu threw his clothes to Lin Mo and strode towards Lin Qi. Regardless of the coldness of the fish, he grabbed it with both hands, "This must be more than ten kilograms!"

Now, no one cared about what happened just now, and everyone focused their attention on the fish.

"Cousin, how did you catch this fish?" Li Lu was extremely curious. They ran around several supply and marketing cooperatives in Zhoucheng but couldn't buy even a palm-sized fish.

"I just caught some randomly." Lin Qi said, and stood up to say goodbye. "My family should be preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. We should go back."

Lin Mo also said, "Yes, we should go back. I'll put my clothes back on first and bring them to you tomorrow."

Everyone only has one or two sets of winter clothes, so naturally they can't be borrowed for a long time.

Today is New Year's Eve. Grandma and others did not keep Lin Qi and Lin Mo, and just asked them to come over and play when they are free.

As soon as Lin Mo and Lin Qi left, the aunt said to her eldest son, "Qi Qi left two fish. Catch one and send it to your father-in-law's house."

The eldest cousin was stunned. Give it to his father-in-law? He thought his mother would take the extra fish back to his grandmother's house.

"Why are you just standing there? Send it to them. Such a big fish is not available for sale in Zhoucheng, and your father-in-law and his family probably don't have it either." said my aunt.

The eldest cousin came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll go and send it off right away."

"Go quickly and come back soon. Don't eat there on New Year's Eve," my aunt reminded.

"Yes, I know." The eldest cousin put a fish in a basket and asked his wife, "Will you come with me?"

The wife shook her head, "No. I want to stay home and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner with Mom."

The eldest cousin hummed, "Then I'll go by myself, and I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow."

When Li Min returned home with a big fish weighing more than 10 kilograms in both hands, everyone in the Li family was a little surprised, "You actually bought a fish."

"You managed to grab such a big fish?" Li's mother was very surprised.

"I didn't buy it. It was given to me by someone else." A suspicious blush appeared on Li Min's face.

The Li family looked at each other in confusion. Is this going on?

"Who sent it?" asked Li's mother.

"It's Lin Qi, Lin Mo's sister." Li Min said.

"The Lin Mo from your machinery factory?" asked Li's mother.

The Li family was not unfamiliar with Lin Mo. They also knew that their daughter had a crush on him and had been pursuing him for half a year.

They said that with their daughter's conditions, there were many people who wanted her, and there was no need to hang on to Lin Mo. But their daughter just liked him, and they couldn't persuade her, so they could only let her go.

Li Min hummed, "That's him."

"You and that Lin Mo are together?" Mother Li frowned, not knowing whether she should be happy for her daughter, or angry at that Lin Mo for being so ungrateful and keeping their daughter hanging for so long.

"He said he would come visit you and dad on a day of his choosing," Li Min said.

Mother Li snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll wait. I want to see what kind of person is worth you chasing after for half a year."

"I'm chasing him because I want to. You can't give him a cold shoulder." Li Min said nervously, "He kept rejecting me before, and now we have established a relationship. If you scare him away, I will be angry with you."

What are you talking about!

Mother Li fell backwards in anger.

"You might as well think about it. If I get married early and free up the room, my brother can also get married earlier. Isn't that the best of both worlds?" Li Min said.

Mother Li: “…” What she said was true, but she was still very angry.

Li Min brought the fish to Li's mother and said, "For the sake of the fish, please calm down."

Mother Li snorted again, "Change your clothes and come to the kitchen to help."

There were still two fish left on Lin Qi's fingers. When she was about to go home, she met Zou Fan again.

What kind of fate is this?

Without saying anything, Lin Qi untied the rope again and split it in two. One end of the rope was strung with a fish. She handed one of the fish to Zou Fan and said, "I caught it in the Lanjiang River. Don't despise it."

Zou Fan looked at the fish, then at Lin Qi, "Don't take a single needle or thread from the people."

Lin Qi: “….”

"You are also a member of the masses, and the fish was caught in the river, it belongs to the collective, and you also have a share." Lin Mo said, "You sent Qiqi home that night, which helped our family a lot. It's just a fish, just accept it."

Zou Fan couldn't think of a better way to refuse.

Lin Qi simply grabbed his hand and put the rope around it, "Officer Zou, Happy New Year."

After saying that, the brother and sister strode away in tacit understanding.

Zou Fan: “…”

When Lin Qi and Lin Mo returned home, Lin Ma and Lin Miaomiao were busy in the kitchen in the corridor.

"Where have you two been, since we disappeared for the whole day?" Lin Miaomiao asked with a hint of displeasure in her tone. They were three siblings, yet she was isolated by these two.

"Let's go play." Lin Mo said as he walked back home, "I'll go back and change my clothes first. Don't touch the fish, I'll come and kill it later."

"There's a fish!" Lin Miaomiao just discovered the fish in Lin Qi's hand and exclaimed, "Such a big fish!"

Mother Lin also turned her head to look at Lin Qi, "Where did the big fish come from?"

"I caught it in the river." Lin Qi handed the fish to Lin's mother, "I also need to change my coat. The one I'm wearing is my brother's."

"What about yours?" Lin's mother frowned. Did you lose your clothes while fishing?

"I rescued a child by the river. His clothes were wet, so I gave him my clothes." Lin Qi said.

"If you give such nice clothes to others, they won't return them to you!" Lin Miaomiao looked at Lin Qi as if she was a fool.

"If you don't want to return it, then don't." Lin Qi looked indifferent and walked towards home.

If you don’t want it, you can give it to me!

Lin Miaomiao still felt bad for the military coat, "Mom, you don't care about her."

"I can't control it." Lin's mother said helplessly, "You two have your own ideas, how can you listen to me?

On the other side, the boy in the military coat finally returned home.

Four children of similar age, wearing washed-out autumn clothes, lit up their eyes the moment they saw the boy, "Brother, you're back!"

"Well, I'm back." The boy smiled.

"Whose clothes are you wearing?" asked the boy's mother.

"It belongs to my sister. I accidentally fell into the water today and she pulled me out. Seeing that my clothes were wet, she gave me this dress." The boy concealed the fact that he was robbed and thrown into the Lancang River.

"Did you fall into the water? Are you cold? Come to the fire." The boy's mother pulled the boy to the fire and let him warm his hands and feet. "You met a good person today."

"Yes, the sister is a good person." The boy put twenty yuan into his mother's hand, "The sister bought my vegetables with twenty yuan and gave me a fish."

The boy's mother looked at the twenty dollars in disbelief.

When the four children heard about the fish, they asked excitedly, "Brother, where are the fish?"

"It's in the basket. It's covered with wet clothes," said the boy.

When the four children heard this, they rushed to the basket and took off the wet clothes on it. "Wow, what a big fish!"

"Mom is going out to find your dad and tell him to stop selling quilts. When mom comes back, I'll cook fish for you." Mom grabbed twenty yuan and hurried out.
