Being Scolded As a Loser? All the Big Guys In Beijing Are Rushing To Pamper Me Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Fishing, hiding merit and fame

"Okay, you've always been well behaved, I'm very relieved." Shen Da said with dignity.

 After making the decision, the two went to the fur shop.

the other side.

Shen Nian is thinking about making money.

She asked Shen Qian about the source of income at home, "Brother, who in our family earns more money every month?"

Shen Qian was startled and said in surprise: "Why do you care about this?"

 Why does the little girl have an idea all of a sudden?

Shen Nian: "I'm curious."

Shen Qian was preparing the medicinal materials. He carefully picked up the remaining leaves and impurities in the medicinal materials. "It's hard to say who earns more."

“My uncle is familiar with herbal medicine, and his monthly income is variable. Sometimes he has ten taels, and sometimes he doesn't have even one tael.”

Shen Nian understands that this is how business is done.

  She asked again: “Where is the master?”

Shen Qian glanced at his sister and said, "My monthly income is more than one tael, less than 2 taels. Although it is not much, it is better than stability."

 In fact, the income of the Shen family is not bad in the village, but it cannot support two scholars.

 So, life is very tight.

“For civil servants, stability is basic.” Shen Nian said he understood.

 After asking her eldest brother to get a basic understanding of the situation at home, she went to the third room.

Shen used his three fingers to weave the basket flexibly. When he saw Shen Nian, his fingertips paused slightly, picked up the discarded bamboo strips at his feet, quickly turned them over with his hands, then folded them in half, pulled them out, and made a little tiger.

 “Here you go.” He said with a smile.

"Thank you, third uncle." Shen Nian took it and looked at it happily, "third uncle is so skillful."

  She is an excellent craftsman who can weave bamboo strips into cute little tigers.

Shen San shook his head helplessly and said in a mocking tone, "What's the use of being handy? You can't even support your family."

Shen Jing, who had just come out after feeding the chickens, wrinkled her face when she heard this, and said loudly and unhappily: "Dad can't afford to support us!"

If it weren't for the bad milk and the blood-sucking Uncle Wu, the money my father earned would be enough to support his family!

 Her sudden voice startled Shen San.

He glared at the girl angrily, but with a gentle smile on his face, "You don't look like a girl at all."

Shen Jing knew that her father was not really angry, so she smiled and said nonchalantly: "Sister Niannian is not an outsider."

 After saying that, he moved out another wooden basin and started washing cabbage and radishes.

“What are you planning to do?” Shen Nian asked.

Shen Jing quickly poured water, rubbed cabbage, and replied: "It's almost winter, so I plan to make some pickles."

Shen Nian thought of a dish, pickled fish.

I heard that it was sour and spicy, and it tasted delicious. She wanted to eat it.

“Sister Jing, I want to go fishing, will you go?”

Shen Jing looked up and said in surprise: "Sister Niannian, can you catch fish?"

Shen Nian waved his hand and said, "If the fish is hard to catch, grab a basket and follow me."

"Okay." Shen Jing responded excitedly, turned her head towards a room, and shouted loudly: "Mom, sister, Sister Niannian and I are going to catch fish and we will be back later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Liu came out.

 She has been embroidering a veil, and her vision is a little blurry now.

 “Go, be careful, don't go to deep water.” Mrs. Liu said softly.

 When he turned to look at Shen Nian, the smile on his face faded.

“Sister Nian, I'll trouble you, Sister Jing.”

 She was quite critical of Shen Nian's temperament and behavior, and didn't want her two daughters to get close to her, but she couldn't think of a way, so she had to endure it.

 Liu underestimated Shen Nian.

The expression on her face changed slightly, but Shen Nian never recognized people by looking at their faces, but by feeling.

 In just a moment, she knew that Mr. Liu was displeased with her.

“If Third Aunt is worried, please let Sister Jing stay at home while I call my second brother.”

 After saying that, he turned his head away.

Shen Jing didn't think too much, and hurriedly followed with the basket, "I'll go." Two figures disappeared in the yard quickly, one after the other.

Liu's face was a bit ugly. She felt that Shen Nian's mention of her second brother was to embarrass herself and laugh at her for not being able to give birth to a son.

 Is it because she doesn't want to have a baby?

She also wanted to have a son, but God didn't want to grant her a wish.

Liu's heart was bleeding, her expression became increasingly miserable, and she exuded a sense of self-pity.

Shen San felt that Liu's words were inappropriate and wanted to say something to her. But when he saw the resentment on that yellow and thin face, he immediately didn't want to say a word.

 It's useless to say it, just leave it at that...

 Shen Nian returned to the second room, called his second brother, and then went to the river.

The deep water area was more than two meters deep. Shen Kun told his sister not to go with a straight face.

 So they came to shallow water.

Shen Kun took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, got into the water, looked at Shen Nian and Shen Jing and said, "I'll catch them, you two don't come down, the girl can't catch a cold."

Shen Nian pursed his lips and smiled, and joked: "Second brother even knows this, my future second sister-in-law will be blessed."

Shen Kun's face suddenly turned red and he stammered, "You, don't talk nonsense, it's still early."

The heat on his face did not subside for a long time. He bent down and picked up the river water with both hands.

Shen Nian didn't understand what there was to be ashamed of. Seeing that his second brother was so embarrassed that he was almost burying himself in the water, he quickly changed the subject: "Second brother, catch fish quickly. I want to eat pickled fish today."

Shen Kun instantly forgot his shyness, raised the harpoon, and started looking for fish in all directions.

There are always people coming here, but there are no fish. Even if there are, they are small fish that people don't look at.

Shen Nian shook his head, squatted down, made a washing motion, and activated his powers.

 It didn't take long.

 “Fish, so many fish!!” Shen Kun exclaimed nonchalantly.

Shen Nian quickly retracted his hand, picked up the backpack on the side and threw it towards Shen Kun.

 “Second brother, pick up the basket!”

Shen Kun caught it firmly and saw fish appearing in piles in the water. He put down the basket on his back and started to pack it.

The fish, which usually runs very fast, seemed a little dull today, as if it was waiting for someone to catch it.

 “This fish must be stupid.” Shen Kun was dumbfounded.

Shen Nian smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

Fish also know good things!

Shen Jing was so excited when she saw the densely packed fish that she yelled at the top of her voice: "Brother Kun, there is still an empty basket."

After hearing this, Shen Kun put the full ones on the shore and continued to fill them with the empty ones.

 “Hahaha, sister, we are developed, so many fish can be sold for a lot of money.”

With excitement, his voice was slightly louder, and was just heard by the boy from the village who came to the river.

 They came running over one after another.

 Seeing the water densely packed with fish, everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

 “So many, so many fish!”

 “Why are there so many fish here?”

Shen Kun is not a greedy person. When he saw his fellow villagers still dazed, he laughed and cursed, "Why are you so busy? Why don't you just pretend to be fish? You don't want to eat meat, right?"

Although he has a straightforward temperament, he understands the principle of "not worrying about the scarcity but the inequality" taught by his father.

Everyone can get this fish, and no one in the village can say anything.

 If only one's own family gets it, there will be many disgusting things.

 The teenagers on the shore immediately came to their senses and fell into the water one by one.

“Who said we don't want to eat meat?” A young man said loudly with a blushing face. He reached into the river and caught a fish.

“Why doesn't this fish know how to run?” he asked blankly.
