Being scolded as a dead star?All the bosses in the capital are rushing to pet me

Chapter 34 Fishing for Fish, Hiding Merit and Fame
"Yes, I'm very relieved that you've always been in order." Shen Da said with a sense of face.

After deciding, the two went to the fur shop.
-
the other side.

Shen Nian was thinking about making money.

She asked Shen Gan about the family's source of income, "Brother, who in our family earns more money every month?"

Shen Gan 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 Gan was processing medicinal materials, and he carefully picked up the residual leaves and impurities in the medicinal materials, "It's hard to say who earns more."

"Uncle knows herbal medicine, and his monthly income is not fixed. When it is more, he has ten taels, and when it is less, he doesn't have one tael."

Shen Nian understands that this is how business is done.

She asked again: "What about the master?"

Shen Gan glanced at his sister and said, "Master, more than one tael a month, less than two taels. Although it's not a lot, it's better to be stable."

In fact, the Shen family's income was not bad in the village, but they couldn't afford to support two scholars.

So, life is very tight.

"For civil servants, stability is fundamental." Shen Nian understood.

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

Shen San's fingers were nimbly weaving the basket. When he saw Shen Nian, he paused with his fingertips, picked up the discarded bamboo strips at his feet, turned his hands quickly, then folded and pulled them in half, and weaved a little tiger.

"Here you are." He said with a smile.

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Shen Nian took it and looked at it happily, "Third Uncle is really clever."

Bamboo strips can be woven into naive little tigers, and he is an excellent craftsman.

Shen San shook his head helplessly, and said with a mocking tone, "What's the use of dexterity, you can't even support your family."

Shen Jing, who just came out after feeding the chickens, heard this, her face wrinkled into a ball, and she shouted unhappily: "Father can't afford us!"

If it weren't for the bad milk and the blood-sucking fifth uncle, the money dad earned would be enough to support his family!
Her sudden voice startled Shen San.

I saw him glaring at his daughter unhappily, but with a gentle smile on his face, "Why don't you look like a girl."

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

After finishing speaking, he moved out another wooden basin and began to wash cabbage and radish.

"What are you planning to do?" Shen Nian asked.

Shen Jing quickly poured water, rubbed the cabbage, and replied: "Winter is coming soon, I plan to make some pickles."

Shen Nian thought of a dish, fish with pickled cabbage.

Hearing that it is hot and sour and delicious, she wants to eat it.

"Sister Jing, I want to catch fish, do you want to go?"

Shen Jing raised her head and said pleasantly, "Sister Nian Nian can catch fish?"

Shen Nian waved his hand, "If the fish is difficult to catch, take a basket and follow me."

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

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Liu came out.

She has been embroidering handkerchiefs, and things are a little blurry now.

"Go, be careful, don't go where the water is deep." Liu said softly.

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

"Sister Nian, Sister Jing will trouble you."

She complained about Shen Nian's temperament and handling of things. She didn't want her two daughters to get close to her, but she couldn't think of a way, so she could only endure it.

Liu Shi underestimated Shen Nian.

The expression changes on her face were indeed subtle, but Shen Nian never knew people by their facial expressions, but by their feelings.

In just a moment, she knew Liu's dislike for her.

"If the third aunt is worried, let sister Jing stay at home, and I will call my second brother."

After speaking, he turned his head and walked away.

Shen Jing didn't think too much, and hurriedly followed with a basket, "I'll go."

The two figures quickly disappeared into the yard one after the other.

Liu's face was a little ugly, she felt that Shen Nian mentioned her second brother to embarrass herself, and laughed at her for not being able to have 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 her to be fulfilled.

Liu's heart was bleeding, his expression became more and more miserable, and there was a sense of self-pity all over his body.

Shen San felt that Liu Shi's words were inappropriate, and wanted to say a few words about 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, so be it...

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

The deep water area was more than two meters deep, and 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 it, you two don't get down, the girl's house can't catch cold."

Shen Nian pursed her lips and laughed, jokingly said: "Second brother even knows this, my future second sister-in-law will be blessed."

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

The heat on his face persisted for a long time, he bent down, picked up the river water with both hands and lifted it up.

Shen Nian didn't understand why there was such a thing as shy, seeing that the second brother was about to bury himself in the water, he quickly changed the subject: "Second brother, hurry up and catch fish, I want to eat pickled fish today."

Shen Kun forgot his shyness in an instant, raised his harpoon, and looked around for fish.

People often come here, how can there be any fish, even if there are, they are small fish that people look down upon.

Shen Nian shook his head, squatted down, made a gesture of washing his hands, and activated his abilities.

Not long.

"Fish, so many fish!!!" Shen Kun exclaimed unsteadily.

Shen Nian quickly withdrew his hand, picked up the side basket and threw it at Shen Kun.

"Second brother, take the basket!"

Shen Kun caught it firmly, and when he saw piles of fish appearing in the water, he put down his back basket and started loading.

The fish that usually slips fast looks a little stupid today, as if it is waiting for someone to catch it.

"This fish must be stupid." Shen Kun was dumbfounded.

Shen Nian smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

Fish also know good things!

Shen Jing was so excited when she saw the densely packed fish, she shouted in a broken voice, "Brother Kun, there is still an empty pannier."

After hearing this, Shen Kun put the full ones on the shore, and continued loading the empty ones.

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

Excited, his voice was slightly louder, just in time to be heard by the village boy who came to the river.

They ran over one after another.

Seeing the densely packed fish in the water, everyone's jaws would drop in shock.

"A lot, a lot of fish!!"

"Why are there so many fish here?"

Shen Kun is not a greedy person. Seeing that his fellow villager was still in a daze, he laughed and cursed, "Why are you sticking around? Why don't you hurry up and pretend to be fish, don't you want to eat meat?"

Although he has a straight temper, he understands the principle of "don't worry about the few but the unevenness" taught by his father.

Everyone got the fish, and no one in the village would say anything.

If only my own family can get it, there will be many disgusting things.

The teenagers on the shore came back to their senses immediately, plopping into the water one after another.

"Who said we don't want to eat meat." A young man said loudly, his face red, and he caught a fish with his hand in the river.

"Why doesn't this fish know how to run?" He asked in a daze.
