Chapter 698: Fish and Thief

Early morning

Golden sunlight shone through the window, and Cao Cao Weiguo was woken up by his precious son before he had slept enough.

Ever since he had this stinking kid, he hadn't slept in late many times.

Song Song Yulan walked into the bedroom: "Get up, I made meat pies and egg soup."

Cao Cao Weiguo sat up lazily, put on his clothes with sleepy eyes.

"Brother Cao Weiguo!"

"Brother Cao Weiguo!"

After washing up, Cao Cao Weiguo was eating a meat pie in three or four bites, eating deliciously, when Liu Guangtian and Cui Cui Dake arrived together.

Liu Guangtian: "Brother Cao Weiguo, let's go fishing together, we've prepared the bait."

Cao Cao Weiguo: "Don't rush to fish, sit down and eat something, let's set off after we're full."

Cui Cui Dake put down the fishing gear: "Then I won't be polite."

Liu Guangtian: "Thank you, Brother Cao Weiguo, thank you, Sister-in-law."

After the two sat down, Song Song Yulan brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and they ate and chewed without any politeness.

Liu Guangtian ate a meat pie in a few bites, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

He alone ate six meat pies and two bowls of egg soup.

"Song Yulan, we're going fishing, you and the son eat at noon, don't wait for me!"

"Understood, pay attention to safety, come back early."

"Understood."

After eating and drinking, the three of Cao Cao Weiguo took their fishing gear and headed straight for the Tonghui River.

The Tonghui River is located in the eastern part of Jingcheng and is a canal built in the Brother Yuan Dynasty. The scenery along the river is beautiful, the water is abundant, and many people like to come here to fish.

Cao Cao Weiguo found a spot, set up his folding stool, and began his fishing career. The breeze of late spring and early summer blew by, the willows swayed, and the water rippled, making people feel refreshed.

"Up!"

"Brother Cao Weiguo, it has to be you, you caught a fish so quickly."

Watching Cao Cao Weiguo lift the rod, Liu Guangtian stared with glowing eyes at the fat and big carp, thinking to himself, if this big fish is taken home, is it better steamed or braised?

The reason Liu Guangtian liked to find Cao Cao Weiguo to fish was largely because Cao Cao Weiguo had good fishing skills, and every time he would share one or two with him to satisfy his craving, never letting him return empty-handed.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

Liu Guangtian diligently helped put the carp into the bucket when suddenly someone shouted to catch a thief, and several young people and a patrol officer shouted and chased.

"Ouch!"

The thief holding the satchel fled for his life, and a passerby was rudely pushed down, falling to the ground with a scream.

"Bastard!"

Cao Cao Weiguo's anger rose from his heart, he stood up and threw his folding stool with all his might.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, the thief's lower leg was hit by the stool, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

"Dare to meddle in my business, I'll kill you!"

Cao Cao Weiguo ran over with clenched fists. The thief pulled a switchblade from his back waist and climbed up viciously.

Several people who came over to help catch the thief were startled and stopped, not daring to get close.

This thief was only seventeen or eighteen years old, just the age of not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth.

Because he was hit, the thief was annoyed and rushed toward Cao Cao Weiguo with the switchblade.

"Careful!"

"Young man, run!"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed. Cao Cao Weiguo rushed up in one stride, his right hand grabbing the thief's wrist as fast as lightning, twisting it hard. The thief let out a heart-piercing scream, and the switchblade fell to the ground.

"Ah! My hand... broken! Broken! Let me go quickly! Otherwise, I'll make your family broken and dead!"

"Ah!"

Hearing the thief's threat and intimidation, Cao Cao Weiguo added force to his hand and raised his leg to kick the thief's lower leg.

"Crack!"

"Ah ah! My leg!"

This kick was full of force, the thief's lower leg was broken directly, and he fell to the ground, screaming miserably.

Cao Cao Weiguo stepped on the young man's arm: "At such a young age, why not do something good? Stealing things and acting fierce, you shameful thing!"

"I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents first!"

"Well said!"

"The hateful thief deserves to be beaten!"

"Not learning well at a young age!"

"A scum that harms society!"

The surrounding crowd gathered around, clapping and cheering. A woman pointed at the thief with hatred: "My wallet was stolen by him last month. This kind of scum deserves to be beaten to death."

A middle-aged man said angrily: "I recognize him! This guy is a habitual offender, just released not long ago. A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and he's out stealing again! He shouldn't have been released!"

"This kind of habitual thief should have his hands and feet chopped off!"

"Just shoot him!"

"These thieves should be severely punished!"

Just as the crowd was indignant, the patrol officer ran over panting: "Thank you, comrade!"

Cao Cao Weiguo: "It's nothing, no one who sees this kind of thief who harms society will indulge him."

The patrol officer asked a few questions, then handcuffed the thief and called two young male comrades to help carry him away.

Liu Guangtian said with lingering fear: "Brother Cao Weiguo, you were too impulsive. Just now the thief even took out a knife, how dangerous."

Cui Cui Dake: "Yes, what if you got hurt?"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Hi! It's fine, this kind of small thief can't hurt me, let's continue fishing."

Cui Cui Dake shook his head: "You really have a big heart."

The three returned to their previous position, chatting while fishing.

Liu Guangtian said in a low voice: "Brother Cao Weiguo, I asked my dad yesterday, he said he hadn't seen the kind of cup you mentioned."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "If you haven't seen it, forget it, maybe Little Han saw it wrong."

The three fished for the whole morning. Liu Guangtian and Cui Cui Dake had mediocre results, while Cao Cao Weiguo had a bountiful harvest. When leaving, several old men and women gathered around and exchanged their fish at a low price.

The remaining fish were divided equally among the three, two each, and Liu Guangtian and Cui Cui Dake were overjoyed.

Liu Guangtian and Cui Cui Dake carried the fish back to the courtyard, making a group of neighbors envious.

"Cui Dake, Guangtian, you had quite a harvest today!"

"The size of these fish is really not small!"

"Cui Dake, you can't eat much alone, share one with Auntie, Auntie won't take it for free, Auntie will exchange it with cornmeal."

"Sorry, Auntie Gu, I have a use for this fish, let's talk next time."

"Brother Xu, come to my house for a drink tonight!"

"Good! We haven't had a drink together for a while."

After passing through the front courtyard, Cui Cui Dake ran into Xu Xu Damao and enthusiastically invited him to his house for a drink.

Sha Zhu stood by the sink, feeling unhappy, and spat on the ground: "Snakes and rats in the same nest!"

Liu Guangtian carried the fish home, and Second Mother and Second Master were very happy.

Second Mother smiled: "Guangtian, is this the fish you caught? It's really good, I'll stew fish for you tonight."

Liu Guangtian: "Mom! No problem wanting to eat fish, but this fish can't be eaten for free. I'll give you the fish, but I want to pay two Brother Yuan less for next month's food expenses."

Second Master pulled a long face: "You want to eat shit! Food expenses can't be a cent less!"

Liu Guangtian: "If you say so, then don't eat this fish. I can sell them to the canteen and exchange them for some money."

These two fish were not small, adding up to at least five or six catties.

Second Mother grabbed Liu Guangtian's arm: "Guangtian, how did you learn from Yan Laoxi, calculating so clearly with your family over two fish."

Liu Guangtian: "I don't want to calculate so clearly either, but I pay so much food expenses every month, I don't even have money to buy new clothes. Look at my pants, how many times have they been mended."

Second Master: "That's your own lack of ability."

"Yes! You have ability, I don't. Mom, Dad has ability, if he wants to eat fish, let Dad go get it. I'll exchange this fish for some money, and if I save up, I can buy a new pair of pants."

Liu Guangtian carried the fish and turned to leave the room. Second Master was so angry he slammed his hand on the table: "How did I raise such an unfilial wolf!"
