Chapter 440: Speechless
Jolted back to his senses by the pain, Sun Yecheng saw his little sister’s sour expression and quickly offered an apologetic smile. "I wasn’t looking at anything, not at all."
Sun Yeshu snorted but didn’t expose her second brother.
"You’d better get back to fishing! Be careful, or someone might catch more than you. You’ll be so embarrassed then."
Hearing this, Sun Yecheng’s face filled with confidence. "How could that be? Have you forgotten that your second brother is the fishing king of Qingshan Team?"
Every August, Qingshan Team would organize a fishing event for all the villagers to supplement their diets. On that day, after turning in a fixed quota, the rest of the fish was theirs to keep.
Sun Yecheng always caught the most, and he always had the most left over.
Everyone in Qingshan Team knew he was exceptionally good at catching fish.
Just as Sun Yecheng finished speaking, he felt the fishing net in his hands shake violently. A flash of delight appeared in his eyes—he knew a fish had entered the net. Without another thought, he immediately used his strength to tighten the net and haul it up.
With a loud SPLASH, the fishing net was lifted from the water. Inside were two large black fish, each weighing four or five catties, their scales shimmering in the sunlight.
Having just been pulled from the water, the fish thrashed violently in the net, splashing Sun Yecheng. He didn’t mind at all; instead, his face was filled with excitement as he stared at the two black fish.
He rarely caught fish this big. He never expected to have such good luck today.
Sun Yeshu couldn’t help but gasp in amazement. "Second Brother, you’re incredible!"
The two fish were longer than her forearm and looked plump and delicious.
’Her second brother really is amazing,’ she thought happily. At the same time, she deliberately raised her voice, drawing the attention of those nearby.
When everyone saw the two large black fish in Sun Yecheng’s hands, each looking to be four or five catties, they all started talking at once.
"Sun Yecheng, you’ve got some real skill! To think you could catch such big black fish. Black fish stew is absolutely delicious."
As the man spoke, the people around him couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Everyone was incredibly impressed. They stopped fishing and gathered around to look at the black fish. Some even picked them up to feel their weight.
"These two fish must weigh at least ten catties combined."
Another wave of envy swept through the crowd, and some who were on good terms with Sun Yecheng asked him for fishing tips. frёewebnoѵēl.com
A proud look appeared on Sun Yecheng’s face, but his words were still modest. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Just got lucky, that’s all. Just lucky."
The commotion over there made Gu Jiaojiao glance over a couple of times.
Sun Yecheng was surrounded by the crowd, looking like a star with his adoring fans. Plus, he was tall and solidly built, which made him look rather handsome.
Beside her, Leng Yuan followed his wife’s gaze, and his eyes swept over Sun Yecheng.
Chen JianShe couldn’t help but steal a few glances in Sun Yecheng’s direction, his eyes filled with a hint of envy.
"That kid’s got some amazing luck, catching two black fish that big. He’s in for a real treat now."
’Too bad they don’t know how to cook it, though.’
’If those two black fish ended up in his sister-in-law’s hands, they’d be incredibly fresh and savory, with a flavor that would linger on your tongue.’
Just thinking about it made Chen JianShe’s mouth water.
Leng Yuan looked at Chen JianShe’s pathetic expression with disdain.
"Just two fish have got you drooling like this. So pathetic."
Chen JianShe just chuckled. He wasn’t offended by his Brother Leng’s contempt.
He hadn’t been craving the black fish itself, but rather Gu Jiaojiao’s cooking. He felt that in Gu Jiaojiao’s hands, the superb flavor of a fish like that would be elevated to a whole new level.
"Brother Leng, why don’t we try to catch a black fish, too?"
This river had a lot of carp, crucian carp, and grass carp, but black fish were relatively rare and not easy to catch.
’It’d be great if we could actually catch one.’
