Mei Yueqin sat down to pick vegetables and said calmly, "Sister Duan is right. I felt quite guilty about Erzi's bad behavior before."
"Did I not teach him well? Did I not discipline him enough?"
"Fortunately, the two sons have learned their lesson now."
"It's okay for people to make mistakes, as long as they can correct them. I think Erzi is doing quite well now."
"So, no matter what he wants to do, as long as it's legitimate, I'll support him."
Sister Duan was speechless for a while. After a long while, she muttered as she walked away, "If it's really something, that's fine, but I'm afraid it's just an act."
Mei Yueqin didn't say anything; she had confidence in Wu An.
Wu An is very clever.
As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely make it big.
She'd only been working for a few days when she started bringing seafood home every day and even paid off her high-interest loans. I'm not bragging, but anyone else would have done that.
After finishing his cigarette, Lao Meng headed home, muttering to himself, "All he does is gossip. What kind of person is he?"
"We can't let her see anything. Just you wait, it won't be long before the news spreads throughout the whole village."
Mei Yueqin frowned upon hearing this.
...
Wu An had no idea that borrowing a car to go fishing would cause others to gossip.
However, he didn't care.
The tricycle was very stable to ride, and we arrived at the sluice gate in half an hour.
By the time we arrived, the rain had subsided considerably.
The bike is unrideable.
We have to go inside.
There are many small paths leading to the sluice gate, all trodden out by anglers.
He called Old Mai to say he had arrived, and Old Mai immediately stood up. When Wu An saw this, he quickly waved and walked over.
This is really a great place. Even though it's raining, you can see at least seven or eight anglers fishing here.
Old Mai, seeing the two men wrapped in snakeskin bags, said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Why did you two come like this?"
Wu An said, "This is better than a raincoat."
“I rode my bike here, and my clothes didn’t get wet.”
"Are these grouper causing trouble here?"
Last time, we caught a small grouper, which weighed just over a pound, and sold it for 150 yuan per pound. Old Xie also said that the bigger the grouper, the more expensive it would be.
If he frantically pulls grouper, his 15 points of luck can earn him a lot of money.
Just as Old Mai was about to speak, the fisherman next to him, who was holding an umbrella, burst out laughing and said, "Dude, newbie, huh?"
"Old Mai said the grouper was causing trouble in the nest, and you actually believed him?"
"You think this is a farm?"
Hearing him shout that, the fishermen a little further away also laughed.
Someone said, "Actually, what Old Mai said is right, it's just that I, Stone Grouper, am causing trouble, while he, Stone Nine, is causing trouble."
Old Mai said somewhat awkwardly, "That guy had a stroke of luck today; he's already caught three groupers."
"I... just pulled up a few stone nines."
"You two are lucky, you might even catch a grouper."
The fisherman with the umbrella joked, "Old Mai, are you serious? You called for reinforcements and only sent two young guys?"
Wu An didn't say anything.
That's interesting.
Let me see what's going on.
Old Mai's left side was empty, so he and A Qing went over to prepare their fishing gear.
Old Mai quickly said, "I'm not doing well here, Shi Jiugong is really causing trouble."
Wu An smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"Let's try fishing for it."
Deep blue.
Give me some more.
Luck value: 59 (15).
Ordinary sea rod: (5).
soon.
Cast the line and bait.
Wu An chose to side with Lao Mai not only because he didn't believe in superstitions, but also because he wanted to help Lao Mai, whose fishing rod with its luck-enhancing effect could attract fish.
He and Ah Qing are fishing here, and Lao Mai will definitely catch some fish too.
The fisherman made fun of them, saying they were reinforcements Old Mai had brought.
right.
That's him!
Now all we have to do is wait for the fish to bite.
The river here is very wide and is a mixture of fresh and seawater.
Compared to rock fishing, the water here is much calmer, and you don't need to cast the bait too far, so it saves a lot of effort.
Before Wu An could even get a good look around, the fishing line suddenly veered off course.
We've caught a fish.
Wu An's face lit up with joy; he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
As Lao Mai instructed, he didn't rush to lift the rod; he waited until the fishing line was completely taut before suddenly lifting it.
Seeing his actions, everyone turned to look.
"You didn't even bait the area, and you already caught fish?"
"They caught the bait right after we cast it; what incredible luck!"
"Ah An, your luck is unbeatable."
Old Mai and the fisherman with the umbrella started whispering to each other, and the fishermen who were far away also turned their heads to look.
Ah Qing also cast his line and caught a fish.
He remained quite calm.
That's basic stuff.
soon.
Wu An pulled up a yellowtail amberjack. It was quite big, weighing almost a pound. Without needing a landing net, he quickly reeled in the line and brought the fish to his feet.
Remove the hook and throw it into the fish basket.
Baiting.
Place the bait.
The movements were completed in one smooth motion.
He didn't have time to waste; for other anglers, fishing might be a hobby, but for him, it was about making money.
Aqing pulled up a stone goby, which was quite large, but it wasn't a big deal. After putting on gloves and cleaning it, he threw it into the fish basket.
Wu An caught another fish very quickly.
"Squeak squeak squeak".
The reel made a sound as the unloading force was pulled.
Before Ah Qing even baited the hook, he saw it and asked, "Brother, a big fish?"
Wu An nodded: "It should be quite large."
It's quite powerful.
The fishing line was being pulled outwards, and the tip of the fishing rod was almost dangling into the water.
It took five minutes of pulling to finally bring the fish to the surface.
Old Mike glanced at it and shouted, "Stone grouper!"
"It's a large blue-spotted scorpion!"
"Ah An, that's amazing! You caught a grouper on the second try."
As he spoke, he helped carry the net.
After scooping the fish up, Old Mai said happily, "Goodness, it must weigh at least seven or eight pounds."
Wu An was also very happy and reminded him, "Old Mai, you've caught a fish too!"
Old Mai turned around and quickly ran over to grab the fishing rod.
Before long, Old Mai pulled up a red snapper, which made him extremely happy: "At least we didn't pull up Stone Nine again."
"Ah An, it looks like I've been riding on your luck again."
Nearby, a fisherman with an umbrella scoffed, "Exaggerated."
Wu An smiled.
The grouper is good, but it takes too much luck. Just one fish I caught made me lose a bit of luck.
There's no time to worry about that.
Link mode activated.
As soon as his luck value drops, he immediately adds it back up, keeping the fishing rod at maximum luck value, making him catch fish very quickly.
One after another, there must be a grouper among the three.
Old Mai stopped catching rock bream and instead pulled up yellowfin tuna, red snapper, sea bass, and silver carp one after another, leaving the angler next to him with an umbrella stunned.
Is the reinforcement they brought in really that powerful?
In just over an hour, the fishing rod's luck value had dwindled to only three points.
As the luck value was no longer at its maximum, the speed at which fish were being caught began to slow down, but this also made the angler next to him with an umbrella turn his head to look from time to time.
He wasn't making a fuss over nothing; he was just too idle.
I haven't caught any fish yet, so I can only watch the excitement.
