After she left, Jiang Yaping and others who were watching the excitement looked at each other and then laughed.

Finally, someone has come to make money. There will definitely be a lot of fun in the family area in the future, and they are looking forward to it.

Mrs. Qian got up from the ground with a sullen face. Seeing that they were all laughing, she roared at them, "What are you looking at? Aren't you afraid of choking to death if you eat it?"

"You, a food snatcher, didn't choke to death, so why should we be afraid of choking to death?"

Xu Lu, the second battalion commander's daughter, has a bad relationship with her, or more accurately, with both her and her mother, and they often quarrel and argue.

She was the happiest one when Gong Linglong dealt with the old woman just now, and even took the opportunity to insult her: "The deputy head of the group just told you to keep rolling around, rolling back and forth ten or eight times, and rolling clean in front of her house. What are you doing getting up now? Keep rolling around, I'll go call your son-in-law back and let him see how the shrew in the house acts like a clown."

"They robbed the deputy commander's house. Do you have any shame?"

Yang Xiaolan also made a disparaging remark. Seeing Chen Eryan standing at the door without saying a word, condoning her mother's shameless robbery, she looked at her with a cold look: "If you don't know, you might think your family is a family of bandits, robbing this and that. It's really unlucky to be neighbors with people like you."

"Yang Xiaolan, shut up. We didn't steal anything from your house." Chen Eryan finally spoke.

"You've never robbed my house?"

"Chen Eryan, do you still have any shame?"

"Let's not talk about those trivial things. Just last month, you took away my bath towel. You shameless person, how dare you say such a thing."

“…”

Gong Linglong went to the river to deliver the fishing rods and had no idea that there was a commotion in the family quarters. She also didn't tell her mother-in-law and brother-in-law about what had happened.

Lu Jingyang chose a spot, picked up a rock, sat down and started fishing.

Gong Linglong and her mother-in-law had just dug some earthworms in the damp mud. She brought some dried lotus leaves to him and said with a smile, "Jingyang, it's up to you now. We'll be waiting for your fish to be cooked tonight."

Lu Jingyang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't hold too high hopes on me. This is my first time fishing. I have no experience, so I may not be able to catch anything."

“Newbies have better luck.”

Gong Linglong didn't stand by and watch him fishing. Instead, she called her mother-in-law to go to the nearby hillside to look for wild vegetables.

She planted a lot of wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, dandelion and purslane in the space without leaving any trace. These are all excellent wild vegetables. Not only can they fill the stomach, but they also have nutritional and medicinal value. They are also very good vegetables for feeding pigs.

Zhou Lanqin didn’t know many wild vegetables, but with her daughter-in-law teaching her, she learned about them and understood their benefits.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned with a basket full of wild vegetables, there was still no movement from Lu Jingyang's side. He was rarely embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, the earthworms you sent are all used up. They were all eaten by fish. We didn't catch any."

Gong Linglong: "...You got up early, didn't you?"

"Uh, it seems so."

Just as Lu Jingyang finished speaking, the buoy in the water moved. He was about to pull it, but Gong Linglong quickly called out, "Don't move. Wait a moment."

Soon, the float went down, and it was obvious that the fish hook was bitten.

“Sister-in-law, it should be a big fish.”

Lu Jingyang felt it and stood up excitedly.

Gong Linglong quickly taught him, "Take your time, don't rush, wait until the fish has firmly bitten the hook before pulling, otherwise it will alertly let go of the earthworm and run away."

With her theoretical guidance, Lu Jingyang successfully caught his first fish.

"It's a big grass carp, even bigger than the one we bought this morning."

Zhou Lanqin was very excited and kept shouting, "Jingyang, slow down, slow down, don't rush."

"Well, slowly slide it over, little by little, and wait until it can no longer swim, then pull it up." Gong Linglong squatted by the river and watched, smiling and saying, "This fish is quite big. We won't cook it tonight. You can take it back to Kyoto to eat."

"Linglong, you and Jingchuan keep it for yourself. We can buy more fish when we want to eat fish." Zhou Lanqin said with a smile.

"Mom, we are a land of fish and rice, so we have no shortage of fish. The fish here are also very fresh and sweet. You can take some home and stew them. Ask your grandparents to make a fish hot pot for you."

Seeing her daughter-in-law being so filial, Zhou Lanqin accepted her suggestion and nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will take it back to Kyoto and stew fish hot pot for them to eat."

After catching the fish, Gong Linglong dug some earthworms for him and found some fishing bait, placing them all in front of him. "Jingyang, these grasses can also be used as bait for fishing. Grass carp like them best. You can fish here slowly. We'll go back first."

"Sister-in-law, bring me a bucket." Lu Jingyang said.

"Okay, I'll bring you a bucket. You have to catch a full bucket today." Gong Linglong found a vine nearby, strung the fish together, and went home with her mother-in-law.

When they came back, the excitement in the family area was not over yet. Almost all the family members had come out. The one who shouted the loudest was Mrs. Qian. They could hear her yelling and making a scene from a long distance away.

"What's going on?" Zhou Lanqin was unaware.

Gong Linglong curled her lips slightly. "The second deputy battalion commander's mother-in-law is an annoying freak. When I came back to get my fishing rod, she bossed me around and asked me to give her some chopped chili peppers. I didn't tolerate her habit of asking for money, so she rushed into the house to grab it, and I grabbed her and threw her out."

Zhou Lanqin: "...I've seen many people who like to take advantage of others, but it's rare to see someone like her rushing into a house and openly robbing someone."

"Hey, Aunt Zhou, you're back."

Jiang Yaping was the first to see them. Seeing Gong Linglong holding a large fish, she asked with a smile, "Did you just buy another fish at the market?"

"No, Jingyang just fished by the river."

Gong Linglong saw that everyone had gathered in a circle. Mrs. Qian was covered in mud, her hair was messy, and there was a bloody scratch on her face. Another sister-in-law, Yang Xiaolan, had her clothes torn, and she was very angry at the moment. It was obvious that it was the two of them who had just had a conflict.

There were two female comrades in military uniforms standing next to them. Both of them had long black braids, and their looks and figures stood out among the group of family members.

Gong Linglong glanced at them. They were both strangers, so she didn't take the initiative to greet them. She asked Yang Xiaolan with concern: "Sister-in-law Xiaolan, what happened? Your clothes are torn. Are you hurt?"

Seeing that she cared about her, Yang Xiaolan pulled at her tattered clothes and smiled at her: "Linglong, you're not hurt. You've been inactive for a while now. I just had a fight with this old guy, and I feel refreshed all over."

Seeing the two fighting, Zhou Lanqin approached Jiang Yaping and asked in a low voice, "Why are you fighting again?"

"Well, this old woman Qian didn't get any advantage in your house, so she turned around and started a conflict with Xiaolan. The mother and daughter exchanged insults with Xiaolan for nearly half an hour."

"We persuaded them a little and the two sides stopped arguing. But then Comrade Meng and Comrade Xu from the art troupe inexplicably got involved, and the verbal battle that had just subsided turned into a fight."

Jiang Yaping spoke loudly and everyone could hear her clearly. As she spoke, she looked at Meng Xiaoying and Xu Wei, who were dressed the neatest and cleanest.
