This reminded Lin Yuan that the river in the Lin family hollow was not small, and she had long wanted to catch some fish there.
Since someone else had managed to catch some, she needed to hurry, otherwise she’d definitely be beaten to it by others.
But at this moment it was a bit late, and she needed to prepare a fishing net.
So, she made a plan with Xiao Shitou to go fishing early the next morning.
During the time for dinner, she made another trip to Lin Ershuan’s House.
Her own home didn’t have a fishing net, but she remembered that she had seen Lin Ershuan catch fish before and assumed he would have one.
Indeed, he did, but it was torn. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
As Guizhi Sister-in-law searched for it, she complained, “It’s all because of Shitou’s great-uncle who came the other day asking his grandma for silver to buy liquor.
When the old lady refused, he went on a drunken rampage, smashing anything he saw.
The fishing net was lying there drying, and lo and behold, in no time at all, he tore it to shreds.
Look, it’s this damaged, how can you catch fish with it?”
When Lin Yuan took the dusty pile of torn net that was indeed too ruined to be used, it was no problem.
Although she couldn’t mend it, she figured she could at least patch it up enough to make it usable.
“Sister-in-law, may I use this fishing net?”
“If you don’t mind it, then it’s yours.
Ever since that day your Brother Ershuan sees this thing and gets angry, insisting that I throw it away.” Guizhi Sister-in-law stuffed the fishing net into her embrace, then mysteriously changed the subject, “This afternoon I embroidered a sign with cloth, just two words, ‘Cold Skin’, hehe, when it’s placed next to the stall, it’s sure to attract a lot of business.”
Indeed, Guizhi Sister-in-law was a clever person and had prepared everything needed, ten large bowls, a couple of wooden stools, and even the location for setting up the stall was decided, right opposite the old iron shop.
There may not be many people there, but with Old Iron Head, an acquaintance, surely no one would bully her.
Moreover, in the evening, she wouldn’t have to carry stools and such back to the village, but could simply leave them at the iron shop.
On her return from Guizhi Sister-in-law’s house, Lin Yuan mended the fishing net well; in truth, she simply tied the usable parts together, which just managed to form a net over two meters long.
She then tied a wooden stick on each side of the net so that by simply encircling it in the river, fish entering the net couldn’t escape.
Lin Yuan proudly showed off her accomplishment to her two younger sisters who were standing by, and casually added, “This is what they call ‘falling into one’s own trap’.”
Just after breakfast the next day, San Shi Zi led Xiao Shitou by the hand to Lin Yuan’s door.
Guizhi Sister-in-law and Lin Ershuan had gone to town to buy flour, and San Shi Zi, not feeling at ease with her grandson going to the riverbank alone, came along with him.
After greeting her parents, Lin Yuan shouldered her homemade fishing net and marched out the door with head held high, while Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang each carried a small bucket.
Lin Jiaxin had even stayed up late the previous night to quickly make a simple fishing rod, making the little fellow feel indomitably proud.
By this time, the riverside had already gathered quite a few people, mostly those who had heard someone had caught fish yesterday and had rushed over today.
Lin Yuan looked around and saw the good spots were almost taken.
Left with no choice, she carried the fishing net upstream.
The river was also wide upstream, but fortunately not very deep.
She picked a decent spot and took off her shoes to enter the water.
San Shi Zi helped her hold one end of the fishing net, while she carefully walked to the middle of the river with the other stick, pushing it firmly into the riverbed.
This position in the mid-river current was swift to prevent the stick from falling over, and she also moved some rocks to secure the stake from the side.
She drove the other end of the fishing net directly to the riverside.
Although there were no fish there, sometimes there were river shrimps.
Lin Ershuan’s fishing net had fines meshes that could catch even shrimp.
