Chapter 66: Anyway, We Can't Envy It

Liu Chuxue knew nothing of the village affairs; she was currently being surrounded and watched.

When she first arrived, she had done as before, finding a quiet spot far from the crowd.

But she couldn't withstand Grandpa Xiao's special instruction to keep an eye on her.

No sooner had she caught a fish than someone ran to notify Grandpa Xiao.

Grandpa Xiao had come over right after breakfast, yet only a single white strip had been hooked up until now; he could no longer sit still: "You girl are truly amazing. Tell me quickly, do you have some unique secret method?"

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected the elder to arrive so quickly: "Grandpa, look at what you're saying. Where does a unique secret method come from for fishing a fish? It's just that the bait is mixed by myself; I don't know if it's because of the bait."

Hearing this, the elder moved closer to the bait, pinched a small ball, turned it over and over to examine it repeatedly, then held it under his nose to smell: "I still can't see anything special."

Just while they were talking, a crucian carp weighing about two jin was pulled up.

Grandpa Xiao was overexcited: "Oh my, a crucian carp. This is good, this is good. Girl, it's settled, I want this crucian carp. Such a large crucian carp is rare."

Liu Chuxue took the crucian carp off and threw it into the newly bought wooden bucket: "Why do you want a crucian carp today, elder?"

Grandpa Xiao looked at the crucian carp in the bucket, smiling so broadly his eyes disappeared: "My granddaughter gave birth to a big, fat boy yesterday, but she has no milk, which has worried the whole family to death. I even boasted that I would definitely catch a crucian carp to take back today."

Liu Chuxue deliberately teased: "But I caught it. You elder wouldn't be planning to take it back and claim credit, would you?"

Grandpa Xiao stroked his chin and smiled sheepishly: "Regardless of who caught it, as long as there is a crucian carp, that's good. We shouldn't be too serious about it."

After speaking, both of them laughed.

Before long, Grandpa Qi, who had been present that day, also brought several old friends over. Seeing the fish in the bucket, he immediately gave a thumbs-up: "You girl are extraordinary. Truly, I don't know if the moat has an affinity with you, or if the fish and shrimp in the water have a connection with you."

After speaking, he laughed to himself.

Liu Chuxue slowly and deliberately prepared the bait: "Clearly, I got the fish by my fishing skill, yet you insist on linking me as a relative to this moat."

Grandpa Xiao happily chimed in: "Whether it's by skill or by luck, anyway, we can't envy it."

After speaking, he looked toward Grandpa Guo, who was still holding his ground in the distance, and said: "Look, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo arrived earliest today, yet he's still empty-handed until now. Doesn't that make you angry?"

With the cheat code support, Liu Chuxue's fish came up one after another; however, she wasn't foolish enough to use bait mixed with pool water every single time.

Indeed, Grandpa Qi had taken a fancy to her bait: "Girl, can you share a bit of your bait with me? Rest assured, I won't use it for free. If we catch a fish, we'll split it fifty-fifty."

Liu Chuxue knew he was suspicious of her bait: "Alright, then it's settled."

She pointed to the bait nearby: "Take whatever you like."

How could she possibly give away bait with additives? What was placed there was merely ordinary bait. Whenever she needed it, she swapped it with the bait from her space and the one on the ground.

While she was comfortably counting votes on her side, Chen Weiping was having a hard time on his end.

From head to buttocks, mud covered the backs of both of them; wherever they went, they were shunned. After finally buying train tickets, they were first refused boarding, then subjected to cold mockery and sarcasm.

It wasn't that the drivers didn't want to take them; rather, the conductors on the buses feared they would soil the seats. In the end, an acquaintance recognized them, lent them two pieces of clothing to put on so they wouldn't soil the seats, and only then were they allowed on the bus.
