Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

She tightened her grip on the arms that were wrapped around her.

Chapter 366: The Fisherman Never Goes Home Empty-Handed!

Barbecues are best done by the river, as they are less likely to cause fires, the environment is pleasant, and you can even fish.

The father was playing a game of chess when he saw his son busily tidying up something. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a fishing line and a fishhook...

here we go again……

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

My son always seems to have a problem with fish. It's been like this for a long time. Whenever he comes back to our hometown and sees our fishpond, he just wants to fish. If he can't catch any, he tries to catch them by touching them. If he still can't catch them, he drains the water.

It can be said that it caused a great disaster.

The pond was filled with water, how could we possibly eat all these fish? And we'd all get covered in mud, or at least fall into the pond and get soaked.

He's such a well-behaved child, so why is he so excited about playing in the water? He always ends up completely disheveled with an innocent look on his face. Xiaoxiao, who's next to him, gets dragged into the water too. Afraid he might drown, she has to stay close by, and she often gets her clothes wet as well.

Seeing Chen Ming fiddling with these things again, Dad couldn't help but say—

"Mingming, you bought a lot of ingredients today too."

"Hmm? Yeah, that should be enough to eat."

"Um... then what is this...?"

"Getting ready to fish by the river."

"...Can't you buy fish too?"

"Is fishing for food?"

"Isn't that so?"

"..."

Chen Ming finally raised his eyes to look at his elderly father, gently shook his head, and said—

"Of course, we fish because it's fun."

"..."

Seeing his son's state, the father knew that saying anything would be useless, so he turned to look at the mother. The mother met his gaze, then turned to look at the older sister.

"..."

The older sister gave a slight, wry smile, nodded to them to indicate that she understood, and then said to her younger brother, who was also her husband—

"I'll go and get you some clothes."

"?"

Chen Ming tilted his head and watched his sister turn around and go inside to get him some clothes.

Whenever he goes fishing or playing in the water, he almost always gets his clothes wet, especially when he goes back to his hometown and sees the fishpond. So his family is used to it and always prepares clean clothes for him to change into.

Qin Hui came out of the bathroom and saw him squatting on the floor fiddling with something. She gently touched her knees, bent down, and asked—

"What are you doing?"

"Get your gear ready and let's go fishing by the river."

"fishing?"

Qin Hui tilted her head, surprised that Chen Ming had such a hobby. She thought for a moment, then patted her forehead and said—

"I didn't bring my pole; it's in another car."

I should have known that the car I brought out also had tools on hand. But actually, Qin Hui doesn't fish much. She's only tried a few times, which is too much of a waste of time. Time shouldn't be wasted.

However, it would be fine to go out with him.

She glanced at him secretly and smiled slightly.

Then, watching him casually put the line and hook into the box next to him, she blinked and asked in confusion—

Where's your fishing rod?

"Hmm? Go pick it up over there."

"Um???"

Qin Hui's expression froze. What did that mean? Could you really just pick up a fishing rod like that?

Chen Ming thought for a moment, and perhaps he knew where the problem lay. He smiled and said—

"Just pick up any tree branch, but a bamboo pole would be best."

"...Where's the bait?"

"Go over there and dig out the earthworms or catch some bugs."

Qin Hui's expression turned somewhat strange, probably because as the young lady of the Qin family, she had never tried this kind of "poor man's" fishing method before.

Is it really possible to catch anything? You shouldn't bait the area first, then start fishing; you shouldn't even observe the environment, check the feng shui, or even pray to Buddha...

Okay, the latter part is a bit exaggerated.

Um... maybe that's not an exaggeration. Qin Hui hasn't really fished much, so I'm not entirely sure.

Qin Hui said—

"How about I buy you a fishing rod? It's not expensive."

"No need, and it's too late now, isn't it?"

"That's true..."

They were about to leave. If he had told her beforehand, that would have been fine, but it's definitely not going to work now. Money can't get you a fishing rod in a few minutes, and she doesn't know if there are any shops nearby.

Chen Ming glanced at her. It seemed that no matter what he wanted to do, Qin Hui was willing to spend money on him. It felt like he was being kept by a rich woman, and she was very considerate, attentive, and proactive in caring for him.

He smiled and said—

"I just wanted to fish for fun, so professional equipment isn't really necessary. I bought this line from a street vendor a long time ago."

"Um……"

Qin Hui bent over, revealing her body curves and a slight glimpse of her cleavage, which involuntarily drew his gaze.

She asked curiously—

Have you ever caught a fish?

"..."

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at the charming and wealthy woman in front of him. Even if she was so beautiful, he couldn't just step on a landmine.

Looking at his expression, Qin Hui knew the truth perfectly well and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Chen Ming curled his lip and said—

"Although I've never caught one, my sister did."

"Hmm? How did you fish for it?"

"Hmm... just use a line, a fishhook, a water hyacinth tied to it, and an earthworm..."

Chen Ming reminisced about the past. Returning to his hometown was very boring, so he would go fishing to pass the time. His sister, fearing he would fall into the pond, would go with him.

Then she went fishing with her younger brother, and she actually managed to catch something. Even though they were fishing together, less than a meter apart, why couldn't she catch anything?

Chen Ming scratched his head, still unable to figure it out.

"I hope I can catch a fish this time."

Just then, Afu came out of the kitchen, having tidied up the seasonings, bowls, chopsticks, and other things. He had also prepared a small gas stove so they could cook something else to eat when they went over there.

She happened to hear Chen Ming's words, and looked over with her gray eyes, blinking.

In this family, Afu, her older sister, and Lucifer are all the kind of people who dote on and take care of others, but they are just a little different in their styles.

Lucifer was just right, and incredibly shrewd. His older sister was similar, but she doted on Chen Ming even more. A-Fu, on the other hand, took meticulous care of him, never stopping for a moment.

Hearing him mention catching a fish...

Afu's gray eyes darted around cleverly. If this could make him happy, then she would help him a little.

Qin Hui teased him—

"I bet you're going to come back empty-handed this time, not catching a single fish."

"How could that be? A fisherman never goes home empty-handed."

As Chen Ming said this, he seemed a little guilty; he was still somewhat self-aware. However, he glanced at Qin Hui, who was smiling, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you can't catch fish, just bully Qin Hui as an excuse and let her jinx it.

But Afu clenched his fist slightly not far away.

It seems I'll have to help him out eventually. As long as he's happy, I'll be happy too.

Afu smiled as he carried the things downstairs to his car.

Chapter 367 The Meek Maid's Little Thoughts

After getting ready, it's time to leave. For convenience, the family decided to take two cars. One will be Qin Hui's car to take her parents, and the other...

Chen Ming's face twitched as he looked at the silver van in front of him.

It's certainly convenient to use this thing, and its passenger capacity is astonishing. As everyone knows, the number of people in one minivan could almost attack Ping'an County.

Actually, as long as you don't think of it as some high-class sword immortal's "flying boat" and just treat it as an ordinary means of transportation, it's perfectly adequate.

Moreover, after looking at this look for a while, it's not unacceptable that one's aesthetic sense has been distorted by the image of a woman being raped.

The landlady looked at the van and murmured—

"This thing even has a license plate on it?"

That's right, actually, A-Fu only took it out for a short while before, so I didn't notice. But the car really does have a license plate, and I don't know exactly how it was done.

Dongyi had been playing on her phone and computer all day and was feeling a little sleepy. She yawned and said—
