Chapter 243: Fleeing in Panic

Upon learning that Ge Baocheng had also been sent to the farm, he immediately went to Lizhuang.

Only the sound of Ge Erya's loud voice came from the Ge courtyard: "What did you say? Sent to the farm?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ge family's loud voice directly startled everyone else in the courtyard.

The entire Ge family gathered at the main gate; Ge Shuanhu frowned and asked, "Who was sent to the farm?"

Du Erya, with red eyes, raised her hand and pointed at Chen Jiefang standing outside the gate: "He says our Baocheng has been sent to the farm."

Chen Jiefang thought that after delivering this news, the Ge family would surely ask for details, so he casually voiced his speculation, letting them go argue with the people responsible, and then he would depart having accomplished his mission.

Instead, Ge Shuanhu, without distinguishing right from wrong, rushed out and beat him up: "If it weren't for your inhumanity, my son wouldn't have suffered such calamity; now you dare come to scheme against us? Do you think you've been given too much face?"

Hearing these words, Du Erya also reacted, combining new grievances with old hatreds, and rushed toward Chen Jiefang.

How could Chen Jiefang withstand Du Erya's Nine Yin White Bone Claw? He turned around, pushed his bicycle, and fled in panic.

He ran away, but he also caused the Ge family's recently calmed emotions to become filled with righteous indignation again: "It's all your sister's fault; she ruined my son terribly. You all know how exhausting the work in the farm is; how will our Baocheng endure it? His whole life has been destroyed by your sister, that calamity."

Fu Yan Cheng did not know that sending someone to the farm could have such subsequent effects.

He followed Liu Chuxue for nearly an hour before reaching that water pool: "Should we use a net to scoop, or what?"

He saw Liu Chuxue take fishing gear from the back basket and reached out to help assemble it.

Liu Chuxue took out her own prepared bait; naturally, with Fu Yan Cheng present today, she couldn't be too excessive, so the bait was mixed with only a little space pool water: "Let's bait the spot first; let's see our luck today. If there are many fish in a while, we'll use the net to scoop."

After pouring half the bait into the water pool, she cast the fishing hook out and quietly waited for good news.

After about twenty minutes, a fish bit the hook; just by looking at the movement, one could tell it was a big fish.

This one looked like it was caught purely by luck, after all, the baited spot had shown no movement until then.

Until they had caught two more fish weighing around one jin each, Liu Chuxue, with sharp eyes, noticed movement under the water: "Yan Cheng, quickly bring the fishing net over."

As soon as Liu Chuxue spoke, Fu Yan Cheng had already taken the fishing net.

The luck was good; this one net haul pulled up five big fish weighing over three jin each, plus two fish around one jin, and with the three caught earlier, the amount needed for tomorrow should be about enough."

The forest darkens early in the afternoon; since the journey was already long, seeing that it was enough, Liu Chuxue prepared to pack up and leave.

While she asked Fu Yan Cheng to pack the fish, with a mere thought she gathered the fish that had reassembled in the pool water and the remaining bait into the space's fresh water; now the pool water was quiet.

When the two reached the foot of the mountain, the sky had already grown dark.

What they did not expect was that Qiu Shaofeng would come to pick them up: "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Qiu Shaofeng smiled at them: "Your sister asked me to come pick you up."

"Then how long have you been waiting?"

"Not long."

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng carrying a back basket in each hand: "Here, let me carry one."

When he clearly saw the fish inside: "Whoa, these fish are really quite large."

When they arrived home, Aunt Wu had already processed the pheasant and the wild rabbit; seeing the fish they brought back, she said: "Well, that's quite a lot of fish; we'll add extra tofu then, and everyone will eat well at tomorrow's warm-house banquet."
