Zhouzhou suddenly felt a chilly breeze on her little bottom, completely unaware that her own dear dad was walking further and further down the path of self-destruction. She blinked in confusion but didn't dwell on it much, trotting over to Qin Er and pulling him along to do their tasks.
Today's task was similar to yesterday's, still requiring them to get by on meager living expenses. Zhouzhou first ran to the riverbank and caught a few fish, this time choosing the ones they had seen at the fish stall owner's place yesterday. Looking at the goldfish in her hand, Zhouzhou let them go. The golden ones were a bit disdainful, hmm, good-looking but useless, it's better to rely on the reliable ones.
As soon as the goldfish entered the water, they swam leisurely, wagging their tails, innocent bubbles forming in their swollen eyes. Blame them? They were just easy targets. The ones that were useful had long been cooked, and it was safe to grow into something like this.
