Chapter 31

Fish

There was another thought in Qin Zhenzhens mind. She wanted to test whether the fragrance of the spirit water coming from her fingers would be particularly attractive to animals.

At noon, she intentionally dripped two drops of spirit water into a pot of water. Surprisingly, the piglet, who had lost its appet.i.te, suddenly devoured the pigs food with gusto, its belly becoming round as it kept eating.

This made Qin Zhenzhen wonder if adding spirit water to the bait would have a similar effect on fish. She wanted to give it a try.

Qin Zhenzhen stopped Su Ning. You went fis.h.i.+ng earlier, right? Did you catch any fish?

Su Ning nodded. No, we didnt catch anything.

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and said, Do you really want to eat fish? We can go fis.h.i.+ng again.

Su Nings eyes lit up. Do you know how to fish too?

She had been disappointed before, but upon hearing Qin Zhenzhens words, she regained hope.

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. When I was young, I often went fis.h.i.+ng with my brother. I even caught fish by myself.

In the original hosts memories, she had indeed gone fis.h.i.+ng frequently with her brother.

In Qin Zhenzhens modern life, she had also accompanied her grandfather on fis.h.i.+ng trips. She had acquired the knowledge and skills of fis.h.i.+ng.

Su Ning eagerly said, Third Sister-in-law, wait for me. Ill go dig for earthworms!

She had prepared more than ten raw earthworms and two small sweet potatoes roasted in the fire as bait.

However, Su Cheng had used them all, and he hadnt caught a single small fish.

Su Ning quickly dug up more than ten earthworms from behind the house and wrapped them with mud in banana leaves.

Third Sister-in-law, lets go!

Su Ning grabbed a small fish basket, hoping that they would be able to catch a fish to put in it.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and decided to bring a wooden bucket with her. If they managed to catch multiple fish, it would be better to keep them in water to ensure their survival.

Seeing Qin Zhenzhen with the wooden bucket, Su Cheng couldnt help but roll his eyes inwardly. Did she think they were fis.h.i.+ng in a pond? However, he restrained himself from mocking her since she had helped him clear his name.

He simply reminded his sister, Dont stay out too late, and be careful!

He didnt have time to waste watching Qin Zhenzhens antics. He needed to go and harvest the vegetables.

Su Ning giggled. I understand, Fifth Brother. Well definitely catch a fis.h.!.+

Her perception of her third sister-in-law had completely changed. She now regarded her as a valuable treasure.

The confidence radiating from Qin Zhenzhens face was contagious, and Su Ning believed that they would indeed be able to enjoy a fish for dinner tonight!

Most of the boys in the village only went fis.h.i.+ng by the river during the noon break from their farm work. They saw it as a form of leisure rather than serious fis.h.i.+ng.

When Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning arrived at the river, there were no other boys fis.h.i.+ng. Instead, they were met with laughter and mocking comments from the boys who had gathered there.

Hehehe, look at that! A housewife trying to fis.h.!.+

Shes just a lazy farmer!

Yeah, shes someone elses wife, but she doesnt do any work and comes here to fish. Shes shameless!

I bet they wont catch a single fis.h.!.+

The boys were skeptical about Qin Zhenzhens ability to catch fish, especially since they themselves struggled to catch any.

Qian Xiaohua, who had been observing the situation, also found it strange. Su Ning had previously despised her third sister-in-law and even wished her harm. But now, they were chatting and laughing together while fis.h.i.+ng. It left Qian Xiaohua puzzled.

I will see if Su Ning has got her head injuried. She approached Su Ning and pulled her aside.

Whats going on with you? Werent you filled with hatred for her? Why are you suddenly so close to her?
