However, after a while, they realized something was wrong. What was the meaning of those fish floating up?
This is actually effective!
Liu Shile smiled sweetly at the somewhat dumbfounded crowd and said, "Second Brother, Sister Ying'er, Brother Guangjie, let's pick up the fish, otherwise they'll wake up soon."
Although she didn't think it was wrong to kill animals on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she didn't kill the fish directly to avoid upsetting everyone, since it wasn't a difficult task for her anyway.
"Uh, pick up fish, pick up fish." The three nodded subconsciously, then realized what they meant.
Ying'er jumped up and grabbed Liu Shile's hand, saying incredulously, "Lele, how are you so amazing? I thought being able to fight things on land was already impressive."
I never imagined this could be used in water! You're so amazing, you'll never lack meat in your life! I've decided, I want to follow in your footsteps and study in the same city as you!
Liu Shile was delighted to see this; she hadn't expected it to have such an motivating effect, which was a pleasant surprise.
Just as they were happily collecting fish, Liu Shile's expression shifted slightly, and she turned her head to glance in one direction.
To be honest, Liu Shile did want to make some millet shrimp, but it's not easy to make them this season, and most importantly, it's hard to find an excuse to do so.
Even in the county town, at Grandma Wang's house, she couldn't take out inappropriate things at inappropriate times, let alone at home.
It's a pity she's a terrible cook; otherwise, with the farm's abundant produce, she wouldn't be so greedy.
She desperately wanted to change this trait of hers, but unfortunately, despite her many persistent attempts, she remained a kitchen disaster.
So what could she do? She was helpless too!
For a foodie, being able to eat only a few things for a long time is really too difficult. I really need to upgrade and build the processing workshop as soon as possible.
After sighing to themselves, Liu Shihua and the others had already picked up the dozen or so fish, each weighing several kilograms, that had floated to the surface and put them into the wooden bucket.
Seeing that Liu Shile was still holding small pebbles, Wang Guangying quickly said, "Lele, are you planning to go fishing again? A dozen or so should be enough for a meal."
It's more than enough to take out as a gift; there's no need to order any more, because ordering so much would be a waste if we couldn't finish it all.
"Uh, I'm not playing anymore. I'm just playing with these." Liu Shile said, then tossed the small pebbles in her hand. She really didn't plan to play anymore. She could come back in the summer to see if there were any other varieties.
In this season, even if she wanted to watch it, the three people next to her probably wouldn't persuade her otherwise, so she should just give up.
The group breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was good that they weren't going to fight anymore. The fish was good, but too much of it would be a waste if they couldn't finish it!
The group carried the buckets back, and after walking for a short while, they heard a noisy commotion ahead, mostly filled with vulgar and offensive language.
Liu Shile didn't care and continued walking without stopping, but the other three were different. They couldn't understand why anyone was making a fuss on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Wang Guangying pulled Liu Shile along and suggested, "Brother, Shihua, Lele, shall we go take a look?"
Liu Shihua glanced at her sister but didn't say anything. Wang Guangjie, however, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go check it out."
Liu Shile was indifferent as Wang Guangying pulled her toward the direction from which the sound came, and soon they arrived at the place where the argument was taking place.
An old man, pale-faced and dressed in thin clothes, was pushed to the ground, trembling on the ground, whether from anger or pain, it was hard to tell.
A boy who looked no more than seven or eight years old pursed his lips and went to help the old man, but he was too weak to lift him up. Instead, he was called a brat and a bad element by the people.
After listening outside for a while, the group finally understood what was going on; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a family matter.
This family was originally a family of artisans who had passed down their craft for generations. The old man who was pushed to the ground was the direct descendant of the family, so the family used to live quite well.
Because the second and third wives were dissatisfied, they took advantage of the recent class division to stab their family in the back, and managed to make their family a so-called 'bad element'.
Even so, they didn't let the eldest son's family off the hook. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they came to the eldest son's house to ask for something to learn from his handwritten notes and such.
The old man insisted that there was nothing wrong, but family members know their own situation. The second and third wives did not believe him and were preparing to go into the house to search.
There were still a few people searching the house, and the sound of an old woman crying softly could be heard from inside. However, her crying did not stop them from searching their house.
“What you’re doing is illegal!” Wang Guangjie was a man of principle. After understanding the whole story, he immediately stood up and went over to help the old man on the ground.
"That's right! It's illegal for you to break into someone's house and steal things like that!" Wang Guangying was furious. She couldn't believe there were such family members in the world.
Although she does have some awful relatives, they only talk about it and occasionally get a little jealous, but there are no relatives who would actually stab their own family in the back like that.
Seeing them like this, the men in the courtyard were indeed a little wary, but the women didn't think so.
The woman from the second wife glared at them fiercely. "Where did this brat come from? Get out of my way. This is a matter for the Bai family. Who are outsiders to interfere?"
She was a notorious shrew in the village, and few families dared to mess with her. She used to live well only because of the eldest son's family, but now, she had no choice but to trample on the eldest son's family.
"That's right, this is a family matter of the Bai family. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or else don't come after us!" The woman from the third branch also stood up and glared at them, looking ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Well, they figured that even though they were well-dressed, they were still young and few in number, so they could take care of a few weaklings without the men in their families having to step in.
Wang Guangying was furious when she saw this. She had never seen such an unreasonable person before. Her face turned red with anger. "This family has already split up, why are you still talking about family matters? This is burglary!"
She heard it clearly: the Bai family has already split up, so what kind of family matter is this?
"What are you grabbing for? Get the hell away from me, you brat, or I'll beat you up too!" The second wife waved her hand impatiently, speaking without any politeness.
Hearing that these people dared to lay a hand on him and even hit his sister, Wang Guangjie was furious. He asked the old man in a low voice, "Old man, where is your village chief?"
Although his voice was low, it still reached the ears of the Bai family. When they heard that they actually wanted to call the village chief, they immediately looked at them with hostility.
The third son's wife snorted coldly, "Oh dear, you're really meddling in other people's business. You want to call the village chief? Don't you even have the face to do it?"
You'd better look carefully; they're the number one "bad elements" in our village. If you help them, does that mean you're "bad elements" too?!
