Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was another thought in Qin Zhenzhen’s mind. She wanted to test whether the fragrance of the spirit water coming from her fingers would be particularly attractive to animals.

At noon, she intentionally dripped two drops of spirit water into a pot of water. Surprisingly, the piglet, who had lost its appetite, suddenly devoured the pig’s food with gusto, its belly becoming round as it kept eating.

This made Qin Zhenzhen wonder if adding spirit water to the bait would have a similar effect on fish. She wanted to give it a try.

Qin Zhenzhen stopped Su Ning. “You went fishing earlier, right? Did you catch any fish?”

Su Ning nodded. “No, we didn’t catch anything.”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and said, “Do you really want to eat fish? We can go fishing again.”

Su Ning’s eyes lit up. “Do you know how to fish too?”

She had been disappointed before, but upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s words, she regained hope.

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “When I was young, I often went fishing with my brother. I even caught fish by myself.”

In the original host’s memories, she had indeed gone fishing frequently with her brother.

In Qin Zhenzhen’s modern life, she had also accompanied her grandfather on fishing trips. She had acquired the knowledge and skills of fishing.

Su Ning eagerly said, “Third Sister-in-law, wait for me. I’ll go dig for earthworms!”

She had prepared more than ten raw earthworms and two small sweet potatoes roasted in the fire as bait.

However, Su Cheng had used them all, and he hadn’t caught a single small fish.

Su Ning quickly dug up more than ten earthworms from behind the house and wrapped them with mud in banana leaves.

“Third Sister-in-law, let’s go!”

Su Ning grabbed a small fish basket, hoping that they would be able to catch a fish to put in it.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen pondered for a moment and decided to bring a wooden bucket with her. If they managed to catch multiple fish, it would be better to keep them in water to ensure their survival.

Seeing Qin Zhenzhen with the wooden bucket, Su Cheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly. Did she think they were fishing in a pond? However, he restrained himself from mocking her since she had helped him clear his name.

He simply reminded his sister, “Don’t stay out too late, and be careful!”

He didn’t have time to waste watching Qin Zhenzhen’s antics. He needed to go and harvest the vegetables.

Su Ning giggled. “I understand, Fifth Brother. We’ll definitely catch a fish!”

Her perception of her third sister-in-law had completely changed. She now regarded her as a valuable treasure.

The confidence radiating from Qin Zhenzhen’s face was contagious, and Su Ning believed that they would indeed be able to enjoy a fish for dinner tonight!

Most of the boys in the village only went fishing by the river during the noon break from their farm work. They saw it as a form of leisure rather than serious fishing.

When Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning arrived at the river, there were no other boys fishing. Instead, they were met with laughter and mocking comments from the boys who had gathered there.

“Hehehe, look at that! A housewife trying to fish!”

“She’s just a lazy farmer!”

“Yeah, she’s someone else’s wife, but she doesn’t do any work and comes here to fish. She’s shameless!”

“I bet they won’t catch a single fish!”

The boys were skeptical about Qin Zhenzhen’s ability to catch fish, especially since they themselves struggled to catch any.

Qian Xiaohua, who had been observing the situation, also found it strange. Su Ning had previously despised her third sister-in-law and even wished her harm. But now, they were chatting and laughing together while fishing. It left Qian Xiaohua puzzled.

“I will see if Su Ning has got her head injuried.” She approached Su Ning and pulled her aside.

“What’s going on with you? Weren’t you filled with hatred for her? Why are you suddenly so close to her?”
