The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool-Chapter 44 - A Bountiful Harvest

After watching the siblings leave, Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because of her childhood environment and the people she interacted with, she could not get along with those who looked gentle.

In addition, the girls of this era were sensible and elegant. They smiled without showing their teeth, along with other customs.

She felt out of place after interacting with these people.

It was as if a voice in her heart kept reminding her that she was an anomaly.

Sensing that their sister-in-law was not in a good mood, Brother Hao and Sister Huan looked at each other.

The two of them exchanged glances. In the end, Sister Huan asked carefully, “Sister-in-law, are we still going to catch fish?”

Shen Yijia came back to her senses and rubbed Sister Huan’s head. She smiled and said, “Of course. When have I ever gone back on my promises?”

As she spoke, she wanted to kick off her shoes. However, after thinking twice, she decided that it wasn’t good to expose her feet.

Looking around, she picked up a slightly sharp stick from the ground and shook it.

She said confidently to the twins, “Today, I’ll show you what it means to be good at catching fish.”

“Sister-in-law, you can do it!” The two of them clapped happily.

Although they did not know what it meant to be good at catching fish, this did not stop them from supporting their sister-in-law.

......

Satisfied, Shen Yijia raised her wooden stick and walked towards the river in high spirits.

Initially, Shen Yijia was not sure if there were fish in the river, so she was relieved after seeing An Dong’s harvest.

The fact that the fish in the river could grow so big meant that very few people in this village came here to catch fish. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had a chance to grow up.

There must be lots of fish in the river too.

Shen Yijia gave herself full marks for her theoretical knowledge.

After finding a more cooling place, Shen Yijia held her breath and looked into the water.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that there was indeed fish in there.

The fish she saw weren’t as big as the one in An Dong’s basket, but she could definitely catch more fish than he did.

Seeing a fish swim past her eyes, Shen Yijia quickly stabbed the wooden stick into the water.

When she raised it again, there was a fish impaled on it.

The children had long known that their sister-in-law was incredible, but they did not expect her to be so good at catching fish.

Seeing Shen Yijia catch the fish, the two children jumped up in excitement. They cheered, “Sister-in-law is so powerful.”

Shen Yijia smiled proudly and said without any modesty, “Of course!”

It was almost time for lunch, but Shen Yijia had yet to bring the two children back.

Madam Li was just about to go out to look for them when she saw Brother Hao rushing back.

His voice reached her first. “Mother, Sister-in-law is amazing. She caught so many fish.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

As he spoke, he bounced excitedly around Madam Li, his face flushed red with excitement.

Madam Li felt a little helpless, but she was also glad that this child did not become depressed because of the change in the environment.

She took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Look at you. You’re covered in sweat from running. Are you not bothered by the heat? Go wash your face, you stink.” 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Brother Hao didn’t mind being chastised by his mother at all. He chuckled and went to Song Jingchen’s room to tell him about Shen Yijia’s achievements.

He was chastised once more by his big brother before he obediently went to wash up.

Shen Yijia and Sister Huan followed closely behind.

Shen Yijia was holding a string of fish on each hand. There were four to five fish on each string.

Madam Li was shocked upon seeing it, even though Brother Huan had already informed her beforehand.

“Why did they catch so much? We won’t be able to finish it in the next few days!”?she thought to herself.

“Mother, Sister-in-law said that we can make pickled fish. It won’t spoil even if we can’t finish it,” Sister Huan added.

“Alright, I’ll listen to your sister-in-law. The two of you, quickly wash your faces. You’re acting like monkeys.”

“Hey!” Shen Yijia and Sister Huan looked at each other and stuck out their tongues at Madam Li.

Due to the small number of family members in the Duke’s Residence, Madam Li often cooked for her family when she was in the residence.

Her culinary skills were quite good, so cooking fish was not difficult for her.

At noon, the family had a beautiful all-fish banquet.
