Chapter 540 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (8)
After the family meeting, everyone went back to their room. Little Jiang Ze ate a lot today, and after playing all day, he was exhausted and went to bed early. Just as he was about to go to sleep, another family started arguing in the yard. Jiang Yue didn't take it seriously at first, since this guy gets into arguments all the time. But a little while later, they started fighting.
Now that she couldn't sleep, she got dressed and went to watch a play. Jiang Yue was watching the play, while her parents were trying to mediate the argument. Putting aside everything else, they kept arguing so much that she couldn't sleep. After more than an hour of this, they finally managed to calm the two families down.
Because Jiang Yue had a day off the next day, she slept until after ten o'clock. When she woke up, her mother nagged her for a long time, saying, "How can a girl be so lazy?" Jiang Yue automatically ignored her mother's nagging, washed her face, ate a bite of food, and prepared to go fishing.
The fishing rod was made of bamboo, while the fishing line and hooks were bought. When it was time to leave, the little brat insisted on taking him with him, and seeing that he was about to cry, Jiang Yue had no choice but to take him along, and also brought a pot of water to drink.
Jiang Yue was going to a place near her workplace. There was a river further east. Jiang Yue had seen it once when she was taking a walk at noon. There were quite a lot of people there. It took her forty minutes to get there. It was quite cold to ride a bike in winter. Jiang Yue put a hot stone in the little boy's hat, otherwise she was afraid he would catch a cold.
She found a spot, which wasn't great, but Jiang Yue didn't want to go any further. Anyway, she was a cheat code player, so she didn't care where she was.
The little brat wanted to play in the water, but Jiang Yue quickly stopped him. If he accidentally fell into the river, it would be terrible. She had originally planned to fish slowly and carefully, but now it seemed like she should just use cheat codes. Jiang Yue cast the line without even baiting it. Luckily, the old man next to her didn't see it.
Jiang Yue controlled her first cast and caught a fish weighing a little over three pounds. After baiting the hook, she pulled it up directly. It's no wonder that the old man next to her sneered. Jiang Yue didn't bring a stool or a bucket; she looked like she was there to play, not to fish.
After catching the fish, Jiang Yue found some grass nearby, wove it into a rope, and had the little one carry it. She casually hung some things on it and threw it out before the old man next to her could see clearly. After searching for a while without finding a big fish, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to expand the search area a bit and found a big fish weighing about eight pounds, which she then hooked directly onto the hook.
In less than five minutes, Jiang Yue caught two big fish. Before the old man next to her could even see them clearly, Jiang Yue was already packing up and heading home. She tied the fish to the handlebars and had Jiang Ze watch over them before speeding off on her bike home.
The two fish were quite eye-catching along the way, and even more so when they got to the door. Grandma Li brought her grandson and said she wanted to eat fish, and even reached out to take one. Jiang Yue saw the fish and also wanted to take the big fish that weighed about eight pounds. Luckily, Jiang's mother was quick and pulled it off, immediately starting to scold her.
"Have you no shame? You're just asking for food. If you want some, go buy it yourself!"
"Didn't your girl get this for free? What's wrong with giving me one?"
"You're the one who said that. Get out of my way. Don't force me to yell at you on such a nice day."
Seeing that the people were about to say something, Jiang Yue quickly pulled her mother home. Why bother talking to her so much? People who hadn't come to watch the excitement were already crowding around. When Jiang Yue parked the car, someone asked where she had fished. Jiang Yue didn't keep it a secret and told them the place directly. Anyway, it wasn't a hidden place.
She herself had cheated to catch the fish. Bai Ze had scanned the fish and there weren't many left. For others, catching them was like a dream. After entering the house, Jiang Ma went to process the fish. She planned to take these two fish back to her hometown. Today was her 25th birthday, and there were only a few days left until New Year's Eve.
While cleaning the fish, Jiang Yue, having nothing to do, decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. She had just set off when she ran into her third aunt with her child: "Third aunt, Xiao Jun!"
"sister!"
"Xiaoyue! Didn't you come to work today?"
Jiang Yue hugged her younger brother who ran over, took out a piece of candy and gave it to him. She patted his head and told him to take Jiang Ze to play. She then took her third aunt home: "No, I'm off today. Third aunt, did you come over today because you have something to do?"
"Okay, talk to your mom about when to go back to our hometown, and we'll go back together."
After leading her third aunt into the house, the third aunt greeted Jiang Ma as "sister-in-law." Jiang Ma called her third aunt "Yatou," which was her nickname. However, many people used this name, and sometimes Jiang Ma would also call her Jiang Yue Yatou.
The two families had a good relationship and there was no backstabbing or competition. When Aunt Jiang saw that Aunt Jiang was cleaning the fish by herself, Aunt Jiang went to help. Aunt Jiang asked Aunt Jiang if she had bought any fish and if so, she could take one home. Aunt Jiang waved her hand and refused, saying that she had already bought what she needed.
Jiang Yue didn't stay inside. She took the two children to the supply and marketing cooperative. On the way, they came across a vendor selling candied hawthorns. These days, you can only find them during festivals. Jiang Yue bought six skewers for five cents each. The two children each had one skewer, and they planned to eat the remaining four skewers at home.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, there were too many people. Jiang Yue didn't want to wait in line. The two children stopped fussing because they had food. Jiang Yue took them home. When they got home, Jiang Yue ate one of the four candied hawthorn skewers. Jiang Yue's mother and third aunt ate one skewer. There were two skewers left, which were to be taken back to the third aunt's other younger brother. He hadn't finished school yet, so he didn't come. The last skewer was reserved for Jiang Yue's father and eldest brother.
Two of the hawthorns were bad when we ate them, and the sugar coating was also quite thin. Overall, the taste wasn't that great, according to Jiang Yue. But the two kids thought differently; they thought they were delicious.
While the family was chatting, the main character, Aunt Wang, came over and called to Aunt Jiang: "Quick, quick, the grocery store has apples! Are you going or not!"
"Go! Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
"Sister-in-law, I'm going too."
After the adults left, only Jiang Yue and the two children were left at home. The weather was rather cold today, so Jiang Yue didn't let them go out to play. There weren't many people on the street, and everyone was staying at home. Just a few days ago, she bought some candy and snacks, so Jiang Yue put some on a small plate for the two children to eat. Having something to eat would keep them from being naughty.
She took out the book she had crafted and picked up a novel to read. See, this book is very useful in this kind of world. The cover is in the style of an ordinary textbook, so she can read whatever she wants. Even if someone accidentally sees it, they will only see the contents of a textbook.
"Sis, I'm thirsty!"
"Wait a minute, would you like brown sugar water or tea?"
"Sweet soup, it's sweet."
"Then you watch over Xiaoze, I'll go find where the brown sugar is."
Jiang Yue found the brown sugar after a quick search. She noticed there wasn't much left, so she decided to buy some more after work the next day. Since it wasn't easy to make brown sugar water, she decided to add a little extra so that her mother and aunt could drink some when they got back.
About an hour later, around five o'clock, Aunt Jiang, Third Aunt, and Aunt Wang returned, each carrying a net bag of apples. To be honest, Jiang Yue could tell from their appearance that they weren't very sweet.
