章 32: I'll Try Too
編集者: Henyee Translations
Su Ning spoke in a hushed tone, explaining, "That was in the past, not now! She has improved since then, and I must treat her well."
"Just because she helped your fifth brother clear his name?" Qian Xiaohua sneered. "I find it hard to believe she's capable…"
Su Ning interrupted her. "I will explain everything to you in detail later. Right now, I don't have the time."
With that, Su Ning hurried back to Qin Zhenzhen's side, not wanting to keep her sister-in-law waiting for too long.
Upon reaching the river, Qin Zhenzhen found a suitable spot and began baiting the hook.
Observing Qin Zhenzhen's familiarity with the task, Su Ning's hope grew.
"At noon, there were so many people. They were making so much noise that it scared away the fish."
"Now, it's much better. It's just the two of us, and it's so peaceful."
"I think we can catch some fish!"
Su Ning encouraged Qin Zhenzhen with enthusiasm.
Qin Zhenzhen smiled and nodded. She added a few drops of spiritual water onto the bait and lowered the hook into the river.
After a while, a remarkable sight unfolded. The floating fish indicator suddenly plunged beneath the water's surface. It seemed like a large fish had taken the bait!
Qin Zhenzhen swiftly lifted the fishing rod, and a two-cattie carp emerged from the water.
Su Ning cheered, "We caught a big fish! We caught a big fish! Third Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"
Qin Zhenzhen calmly placed the carp on the riverbank. Su Ning hurried over, held it down, removed the hook, and carefully deposited the fish into the wooden bucket.
The wooden bucket was already filled with river water, but the large carp with injured lips splashed in the bucket.
Su Ning couldn't stop smiling. When she looked at Qin Zhenzhen again, she had already placed the hook in the river. After a while, another big carp was caught.
Qin Zhenzhen caught six fish in one go, four big ones and two small ones.
Su Ning's ecstasy was indescribable.
She couldn't help but ask softly, afraid that her words might scare away the fish in the river, "Third Sister-in-law, do you think we were lucky to stumble upon a school of fish?"
It would be hard for anyone to believe that they had caught six fish in a row.
But she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
Qin Zhenzhen nodded. "It's highly possible. Why don't I give it a try?"
"Let me have a go too!" Su Ning eagerly took hold of the fishing rod.
As expected, with the addition of spirit water as bait, the fish in the river eagerly fought for it. Naturally, the smaller fish couldn't compete with the larger ones, so Su Ning caught more big fish and fewer small fish.
When Su Ning successfully reeled in two big fish and a small one, her face flushed red with excitement.
She hadn't expected that she would be able to catch such sizable fish!
This stroke of good luck was undoubtedly brought about by her third sister-in-law.
However, Qin Zhenzhen decided to stop there and refrain from adding more spirit water to the bait.
Nine fish were sufficient. Any more would raise suspicions.
Su Ning changed the bait twice in a row but failed to catch any more fish. She handed the fishing rod to Qin Zhenzhen. "Third Sister-in-law, you take over."
Qin Zhenzhen smiled and replied, "Okay!"
However, Qin Zhenzhen found herself in the same predicament. The changed baits did not work either.
"Third Sister-in-law, do you think the fish have escaped, and that's why we're not catching any more?"
Qin Zhenzhen suppressed her laughter. "Perhaps."
"Let's pack up and head home. These nine fish should be enough."
Su Ning had no objections and happily gathered her fishing gear.
"Alright! Time to pack up and head home!"
Su Ning selected two fish to cook for dinner and placed them in the fish basket, lightening the load of the wooden bucket.
After all, she planned to cook them in the evening, so she wasn't concerned about their survival.
Qin Zhenzhen made no attempt to stop her. Carrying the wooden bucket, she effortlessly followed behind.
