Sun Chengen was awakened by the noise outside and went out to see this scene.
The smile on the woman's face was even more dazzling than the brightness reflected on the sea.
She put her index finger to her lips, afraid that the screams from the people on the shore would scare away her fish.
They met eyes, their smiles excessively intense.
Sun Chengen walked slowly closer and appeared beside the carriage.
Lifting the carriage curtain, Sun Chengen saw Sun Mu'en wrapped up like a dumpling, and unconsciously frowned.
Are you cold?
Sun Mu'en was initially drawn to the view outside the window.
Hearing the sound, she turned her head with a smile, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she proudly held up the hand warmer in her hand, her voice sweeter than ever before.
"Brother, you're not cold!"
Sun Chengen appeared unmoved, but his eyes were slightly moist.
He had never seen his sister so light and smiling from the bottom of her heart.
Feeling completely unburdened, Sun Chengen was unconsciously affected, and his mood became as light as a feather, as if the heavy burden on his heart had been lifted.
"Brother, look!"
Sun Mu'en suddenly spoke up, pointing out the window to remind Sun Cheng'en to look.
Sun Chengen turned his head and saw Ruan Meng and Lao San lifting their fishing rods.
The fishing rod is bent into a semi-circular arc; it looks like there's a big one underwater!
Feng Yun and Feng Xi put down their fishing rods and came over to help the two.
Both men seemed to be struggling to pull the fishing rods. Feng Yun and Feng Xi gestured for the two to cast the fishing net and then skillfully reel it in.
As the fishing net was gradually pulled in, the prey inside suddenly thrashed violently, instantly capsizing the bamboo raft.
The second child called out, "Sister!"
All four fell into the water. By the time everyone reacted, the second brother had already leaped into the sea and was swimming quickly toward the bamboo raft.
When Ruan Meng fell into the water, she cried out in surprise. Upon hearing this, the third brother rushed to rescue her.
The fish in the net were bigger than they had imagined. As they thrashed about violently, Ruan Meng was slapped hard by a fish's tail as soon as she surfaced, almost knocking her back into the water.
Ruan Meng wiped her face and angrily spat out water.
Worried about Ruan Meng's safety, Feng Yun and Feng Xi disregarded the fishing net and swam quickly toward her.
Ruan Meng panicked and shouted, "My fish!"
After saying just a few words, he was slapped across the face by the fish tail!
Ruan Meng was furious and wanted to curse, but she choked on some water in the waves stirred up by the big fish.
"Watch out! Watch out, fish might bite..."
"Pah! Rotten fish!"
I'm going to chop you all up!
......
Amidst the waves, one could faintly hear Ruan Mengxi's fragmented and angry curses.
As soon as the second fish got close, it was swept aside by the large fish struggling in the fishing net.
Sun Mu'en was getting anxious and was about to speak when she heard her brother roar beside her:
"What are you all standing there for? Go and save them!"
Seeing her brother's barely concealed anger and nervousness, Sun Mu'en's gaze softened, a faint sadness lingering in her eyes.
As several guards went into the water to help control the fishing net, the second and third brothers lifted Ruan Meng onto the bamboo raft.
Feng Yun and Feng Xi guarded the other two corners, as if the four of them were underwater, lifting Ruan Meng up.
Upon hearing the news, Ruan Qian and his wife rushed over. The Song and Fan families also heard the commotion and got up to check.
The newly arrived guards and craftsmen, hearing the commotion, also came over.
Ruan Meng was soaking wet. As soon as she was carried up, a blanket was covered over her head. The carriage where Sun Mu'en was was being pulled back.
When Ruan Meng peeked out, she saw several serious faces.
The eldest brother's face was a little pale, and the eldest sister-in-law was very worried. No, Sun Chengen next to me, why are you looking at me like that?
I don't owe you any money!
Before the eldest brother could speak, Sister-in-law Song and Sister-in-law Fan quickly stepped forward to help Ruan Meng up, murmuring:
"Oh dear! You're all soaked! Hurry back inside and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold!"
"That's right!"
...
As Ruan Meng was being pushed along by several people, she didn't forget to turn back and give instructions to the Sun family guards:
"Get my fish out of here! I won't let them get away with this!"
Just as her elder brother was about to get angry, Ruan Meng shrank back, and with the help of her sisters-in-law, she ran back.
He lowered his voice and thanked them, "Thank you, sisters-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Song chuckled to herself, "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever! I'm afraid we'll get a scolding when we leave!"
Sister-in-law Song comforted him, "This is the first time I've seen the eldest young master so angry. He must be extremely worried. Even if he's going to scold you, I'll just listen patiently."
"Sister-in-law is right, good."
Sister-in-law Fan asked curiously, "What's in the net? How can it be so powerful? My younger sister, the third brother, and the two Feng brothers were all thrown into the water..."
Duan, the second sister-in-law of Fan, held Ruan Meng's hand tightly with heartache, "It's good that you're alright. You fell into the water when you landed on the island, but it scared everyone. Little sister, you should stay away from the water in the future!"
Ruan Meng nodded vigorously, grateful for their concern.
First, explain to Sister-in-law Fan, "I guessed I would catch a big fish, but since we're close to the sea, I didn't expect it to be this big. You'll see what it really looks like in a moment!"
Although she wanted to be honest with the Duan family that she could swim, the contrast was too great and would make them suspicious of her identity, so she could only obediently nod.
Suddenly, gasps of breath came from the shore.
The fishing net was hauled up.
