Chapter 82: Caught Fishing



The four of them almost turned the yard of the three-bedroom, one-living-room house upside down, but still couldn't find the fish.

Zhao Wenwen didn't believe it and went to look for it herself. She didn't find any fish, but she discovered that they had stored a lot of food, including a large tank of rice and flour.

There was also meat and dozens of eggs.

Not to mention snacks, there are plenty of melon seeds, peanuts, candies and chocolates.

In addition to apples and oranges, there are also many frozen pears.

Is this the life they thought Yang Zhaozhao, who was probably so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat and only earned four months' work points, should have?

When I thought about what Li Lihua had said before about Li Yiling's family being well-off, I finally knew how well-off they were.

If it weren’t for Li Yiling, Yang Zhaozhao would have starved to death long ago.

When Zhao Wenwen thought of Yang Zhaozhao who was living a good life with Li Yiling, she felt so hateful!

They are both women, so why can Yang Zhaozhao meet such a good man and have no worries about food and clothing, while she can't sleep because of ten dollars?

When Zhao Wenwen was envious and jealous, Yang Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Zhao Zhiqing, have you found the fish you mentioned? If not, should you give me some?"

Zhao Wenwen was not convinced. She looked at everyone else who had gained nothing. She herself found nothing either. She had even looked for fish. Not to mention fish, she didn't even see any fish scales.

Zhao Wenwen finally set her sights on Xiao Cui. At that time, the child would tell the truth after being deceived: "Your name is Xiao Cui, right? Tell me, where are the fish hidden in your house?"

Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes when he looked at Zhao Wenwen, who didn't even let the children go.

Li Yiling had expected this and gave Xiao Cui an encouraging look.

Xiao Cui thought about what Li Yiling had told her, and said innocently and cutely, "We don't have any fish at home. I want to eat fish. Sister, are you going to send us some fish? Sister, you are so kind!"

Zhao Wenwen was disappointed, but unwilling to give up: "Xiao Cui is a good child, and good children cannot lie. As long as you tell me whether you went to the river to fish, I will buy you something delicious."

"Sister, are you going to take me fishing?" Xiao Cui refused fearfully: "No, Sister Zhao Zhao said that the fish belong to everyone and we can't fish without permission. It's wrong for you to do this. I'm going to report you!"

Zhao Wenwen: “…”

Yang Zhaozhao laughed loudly: "Zhao Wenwen, please don't embarrass the child. When will you send us your fish? I'm waiting to put it in the pot!"

Zhao Wenwen looked unhappy.

Lin Chao knew that he had made a wasted trip and glared at Zhao Wenwen: "How can you report it blindly? You have wronged Yang Zhiqing, and why don't you apologize to him?"

Zhao Wenwen said unwillingly: "Sorry, I saw it wrong!"

Yang Zhaozhao accepted her apology: "No, after all, your eyes are not big enough to see clearly who is wrongly accused. It's normal. I don't blame you."

"But I can't give you less than 100 catties of fish. If you can't afford the fish, you can give me 4 yuan. Fish is now 80 yuan per catty, so 100 catties is 4 yuan. I didn't calculate it wrong, right?"

Zhao Wenwen had four dollars, but she was reluctant to spend it.

She had saved ten dollars with great difficulty, and I gave her four dollars, leaving her with only eleven dollars. She was reluctant to spend it.

"I'll give you the fish." Zhao Wenwen gritted her teeth secretly. She couldn't have been wrong. If she had to blame someone, she should blame Yang Zhaozhao and the others for being too cunning and hiding the fish in advance.

It’s a shame that I have to pay for a fish!

Where does Zhao Wenwen go to get fish?

Thinking of the place where Yang Zhaozhao and the others went fishing, Zhao Wenwen narrowed her eyes and had a bold idea in her mind.

Lin Chao led his men away and scolded Zhao Wenwen again along the way. Zhao Wenwen only had fishing to pay off her debts in her mind and did not listen much.

As soon as they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yiling even stretched out his hand towards Yang Zhaozhao's neck, which frightened Yang Zhaozhao so much that he looked at him warily: "What are you doing?"

"There is a piece of fish scale on the neck. It must have been got there accidentally. Fortunately, they didn't notice it." Li Yiling pointed to the location of the fish scale.

Yang Zhaozhao asked Xiao Cui to pick it for her to avoid suspicion, and asked Xiao Cui to keep watch at the door. Yang Zhaozhao was in the kitchen steaming fish, making sauerkraut fish fillets, and stewing fish soup for Grandma Cui.

That night, they ate as much fish as they could. As they ate, they thought about the thrilling events they had encountered. The two adults and one child looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

When Grandma Cui heard them laughing, she also curled her eyes.

After eating, he did not forget to destroy the body to avoid a surprise inspection.

It snowed in the evening. No one likes to go out on snowy days, including Yang Zhaozhao. She wanted to read and review at home. She thought of something, so she put on her thick coat and went out.

"Where are you going?" Li Yiling was curious.

Yang Zhaozhao smiled and waved: "Let's go and watch the fun!"

Li Yiling followed without thinking. Xiao Cui also wanted to go, but it was too cold, so he asked her to stay at home with Grandma Cui. The two adults, Yang Zhaozhao, went out.

Thinking about the heavy snow, Zhao Wenwen returned a pound fish. She was not greedy, so she just wanted to catch a big fish to pay off her debt. She took advantage of no one's intention and went to the ice cave that Li Yiling had dug yesterday.

Unexpectedly, I was lucky and caught one fish, and then two.

After casting the net several times, she caught more than a dozen fish, large and small, weighing about 30 to 40 kilograms. She planned to take them to the county and sell them secretly.

I also need to borrow a bicycle. There are only a few bicycles in the village. Yang Zhaozhao has one, and it's new. But I have offended her, so it's difficult to ask for it.

Just when Zhao Wenwen was calculating how much money she could get from selling these fish, and it would be best if she could earn ten dollars, she saw a group of people approaching aggressively.

If the leader isn't Yang Zhaozhao wearing a red apron, then who is he?

She realized that she had been discovered. If she was caught, it would be too late for her to say anything, and she would be mercilessly ridiculed and retaliated against by Yang Zhaozhao.

Can't get caught!

Zhao Wenwen dropped the fish and turned and ran away.

Unfortunately, the river was frozen and slippery. Before she could take two steps, she stepped on a frozen grass carp, slipped, and fell into the ice cave.

The cold water instantly submerged her, freezing her limbs numb and her heart tightening.

The heat was robbed by the eyes, and the cold came over her. Zhao Wenwen was desperate and screamed: "Help~"

She opened her mouth, cold water poured into her, and she sank to the bottom of the lake.

Zhao Wenwen felt so unwilling when she thought about drowning in the river today!

It’s all Yang Zhaozhao’s fault, it’s all her fault!

If she died and turned into a ghost, the first person she would look for would be Yang Zhaozhao, and she would never be able to rest in peace.

Just when Zhao Wenwen lost consciousness, someone grabbed her cold wrist and pulled her up with great force. Zhao Wenwen seemed to see Li Yiling's face in a daze.

There was a splash of water, and Li Yiling's hands were frozen. Yang Zhaozhao quickly put a coat on him and said, "Are you cold? Are you okay? Go take a hot bath."

"I didn't."

Li Yiling shook his head and untied the rope around his waist. That was the safety rope he wore when he went into the water to rescue people. If it weren't for Li Yiling, Zhao Wenwen would have really died at the bottom of the river.

Zhao Wenwen fell on the ice, her face ashen and shivering from the cold.

Yang Zhaozhao is not a saint.

Why would she take off her coat for someone who was hurting her? What if she caught a cold?

Zhao Wenwen deserves it.

You deserve it.

It’s retribution in this life!

It was already kind of Yang Zhaozhao not to applaud.

Seeing that Yang Zhaozhao was unwilling to take off his coat to keep Zhao Wenwen warm, Lin Chao had no choice but to take off his coat and cover Zhao Wenwen with it. He would settle the score for secretly fishing later, but human lives were the most important thing now.

Everyone knew about Zhao Wenwen stealing the fish that day, and the fish had already been landed. In the end, they decided to catch a few more fish and give one to every household as a snack for everyone.

The punishment that Zhao Wenwen deserved was quite severe. She was fined twenty dollars, and after she recovered from her illness, she had to make a public self-examination and apologize for her mistakes.

Zhao Wenwen: “…”

God is unfair to me!

Zhao Wenwen regretted why she didn't bring people to catch the fish when she saw Yang Zhaozhao fishing, but waited until she hid the fish before going!

Zhao Wenwen is so angry!
