Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Trouble at the Fish Pond

In the evening, upon returning home, Lin Chunju prepared three fish in different ways.

She stewed one with tofu to make fish soup, and the other two were made into braised fish.

Yue Qingqing didn’t wait for Zhang Ying to pick out the bones for her and just buried her head and ate with difficulty.

Zhang Ying was so frightened that she ate the meal with her heart in her throat, terrified that the child might choke on a bone.

Yue Xingxing and Yue Xiaohu were gobbling up their food as well.

Ever since they had taken over the fish pond management, the Yue Family always had to tighten their belts, but now they could finally eat some meat.

And this was fish they had produced themselves.

Jiannan chewed each bite carefully and savored his meal with an extra sense of ritual.

Everyone at home watched him with amusement, thinking that Jiannan seemed more mature, yet still had a childish side to him.

After dinner, Chunju recorded the money they made that day in the accounts.

“We made a total of 325.6 yuan from selling fish today. I’ll set aside a portion of this money as a dowry for the third child’s future marriage,” she said.

Everyone nodded, “Jiannan is not young anymore. It’s time to consider settling down.”

Jiannan blushed but couldn’t help fantasizing.

Marrying a wife, huh, what should the woman he marries look like?

It would be best if she had a gentle temperament and was willing to listen to him.

Of course, he could accept it if she had a bit of a temper, as long as she didn’t resort to violence.

Jiannan had heard that a woman in the neighboring village was so strong that she once broke her husband’s arm during a quarrel.

With his small physique, he couldn’t afford to marry a tigress.

Jiannan got lost in his own thoughts, sometimes laughing foolishly and sometimes shuddering, causing others to feel that he really must be longing for a wife.

Qingqing watched him with a smile but suddenly sensed something was not quite right.

There had been a change in Jiannan’s aura.

Trouble was brewing!

Qingqing held her actions back and waited until everyone had turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed before she quietly slipped into Chunju’s room.

Chunju and Xiaofang shared a room, and both gave Qingqing a smiling welcome.

Xiaofang patted the bed, “Do you want to sleep with Auntie tonight?”

As the child grew older, she became more adorable after learning to talk.

So fair and tender that one wanted to keep holding her, and part of you wanted to gently bite her cheek just to see if it would leave a tooth mark.

Qingqing shook her head and called out to Chunju, “Grandma.”

At first, Chunju didn’t think much of it and kissed the child on the forehead.

“What do you need Grandma for?”

“There’s something,” Qingqing said in her sweet, milky voice, and Chunju sensed something different.

“Xiaofang, I am going to take the child out to pee, you lay down first.”

In the village, it was usual to urinate into a chamber pot placed under the bed at night,

but Chunju sometimes preferred cleanliness and would go to the outdoor toilet.

Xiaofang didn’t question it and nodded.

“Mother, be careful with Qingqing. It’s dark outside.”

Chunju hastily acknowledged and carried Qingqing outside the house.

“Qingqing, what’s happened?”

Qingqing pointed towards the south side of the village, “I feel like there’s going to be trouble at the fish pond.”

“Are you sure?”

Qingqing shook her head, “I’m not sure, it’s just a guess.”

There had been a change in Jiannan’s aura, but with Qingqing’s current ability, she could only predict that something bad was about to happen without being able to deduce the specifics.

Qingqing suspected that the fish pond was likely to be the source of trouble. Considering how much Jiannan cared about the fish pond, he might have a hard time if something did go wrong.

Even though it was just a baseless suspicion, Chunju slapped her thigh, deciding it was better to believe than to ignore.

“Go back to your mother’s side and be good. Grandma will call for help!”

Chunju returned to the room and woke up the men of the Yue Family.

“My eyelid has been twitching. I have a bad feeling about the fish pond. Come with me and let’s check it out,” she urged.
