In order not to cause a sensation, Ling Xue stopped while she was ahead and put the hook into the water without bait.
Even so, Ling Xue eventually caught three large fish. This surprised Ling Xue, who probably had the remaining energy on the hook attracting the fish.
Fortunately, Ling Xue didn't catch any fish for a long time, which made her feel relieved.
Liao Er also gained a lot. Although it was not as much as Ling Xue, it was much more than what he had gained before. He was still very excited.
The two men carried large buckets filled with their catch and put them in Ling Xue's van. Ling Xue had three large buckets, and Liao Er had two large buckets.
A few anglers saw from afar that the two had made a good catch. Before they could come over to watch the fun, the two had already loaded the buckets into the van, which disappointed the interested anglers.
Liao Er said a lot of excited words because of his unprecedented gains, but Ling Xue stopped him with just one word.
"Brother Liao, you have to listen to me from now on, right?" Ling Xue said proudly looking at Liao Er.
Liao Er was stunned for a moment. Yes, how could he forget about the bet between them?
Forget it, Liao Er admitted defeat.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let me make it clear first, we won't do anything that is against the law of nature!" Liao Er added the condition stubbornly.
Ling Xue rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Am I someone who does something that harms the world? Is that how you usually see me?"
Seeing that Ling Xue was really angry, Liao Er immediately started to coax her.
"How could that be? In my heart, Xiaoxue has always been a simple and kind girl. Second brother said something wrong, don't be angry!"
Ling Xue also knew that Liao Er was just trying to save face for her, so she just let it go. However, she still emphasized a few words to prevent Liao Er from getting too arrogant.
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again I'll be really annoyed!"
Liao Er wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded with a wry smile.
However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This woman, whether she is old or young, is not easy to deal with!"
He had been wronged before. He was beaten by Aunt Liao at home and by his ex-girlfriend outside. He thought that this girl next door would be different.
It's because he lacks experience!
It was almost dark when the two returned home. Fortunately, Ling Xue's van was driving fast, otherwise they would have to be scolded by Uncle Liao when they got home.
Sure enough, when Uncle Liao saw them, he came forward. Ling Xue saw Uncle Liao's dark face and thought it was not good. She immediately spoke first:
"Uncle, look at what Brother Liao and I have harvested today. We have an extra dish for tomorrow's dinner!"
As expected, Uncle Liao's attention was diverted. He walked forward to check the catch in several large barrels, and his complexion visibly improved.
In his mind, as long as the child does his job properly, he will let it go this time. However, he will still keep a record of the account and deal with them together next time. Don’t think he doesn’t know what this girl is thinking?
Brother Liao sneered in his heart as he looked at Liao Er and Ling Xue who were making faces at each other. They are still young and don’t know the old man’s methods. They will know when they suffer losses in the future!
Several people put the buckets full of big fish into the kitchen so that they could use them tomorrow.
Liao Er and Ling Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it was too early for them to relax. Uncle Liao assigned them tasks before they finished their meal. He asked them to go to the village chef to see how the ingredients for the banquet were prepared.
The two of them sighed inwardly. Although Uncle Liao didn't scold them, he still punished them. When they came back, he didn't even let them drink water and sent them out.
