The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2419 - 2421: Epilogue 7

"Hmph!" Dongyang scooped him a bowl of porridge. "You’ve already become the house steward grandpa."

After breakfast, the group set off for the pier, where their boat was already waiting.

There was a dedicated boatman on board, and everything Ye Zi’an and the others needed for sea fishing had been fully prepared.

"This boat just isn’t big enough. If it were a bit bigger, we could even have a barbecue out at sea."

"Next time we’ll get someone to prepare a bigger boat. Anyway, we’ve got plenty of time; we can come out whenever we want."

When the boat reached the open sea, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an were working on their rods together.

Over there, Mu Shaoling and Dongyang were leaning over, looking down into the water.

"Old man, you’d better stand firm. If you fall into the sea, I’m not going down to carry you on my back!"

Mu Shaoling was a total landlubber; if he fell in he’d be done for, so that was why Dongyang said that.

"You old woman, why are you so annoying? Always bringing up what you shouldn’t. I’m standing here just fine, how would I fall in?"

"Hurry up and cast your rod." Seeing him stand there dazed, Dongyang urged, "Look, Xiaxia and the others have already started fishing."

Mu Shaoling fiddled with the rod slowly, ignoring her yelling.

"What are you rushing for? I won’t catch anything anyway!"

"Heh..."

Faced with his self-defeating attitude, Dongyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll catch something today."

Ye Zi’an’s voice came from the other side.

"Tch, you think you’re a god or something? You can guarantee I’ll catch fish?"

"If you don’t believe me, just watch."

Ye Zi’an kept his eyes fixed on the surface of the sea, and soon noticed his hook twitch.

He gave a strong jerk upwards, and up came a little yellow croaker.

Yang Chuxia cheerfully tossed the fish into the bucket, then said, "Keep going. When we get back, these little yellow croakers are the best grilled."

Right after that, Ye Zi’an was pulling them up one after another; his speed was something else.

Dongyang couldn’t help coming over to look. "Did you dump bait in or something? Otherwise why are these fish acting like idiots? That rod just now even smacked against the side of the boat, and the fish still didn’t get scared off?"

"Old Ye, didn’t you say I’d definitely catch something today? Where’s the fish, where’s the fish?"

Seeing him pull up fish one after another while his own line didn’t move at all, Mu Shaoling got a little anxious.

"What’s the rush? Just wait a bit."

A quarter of an hour later, they finally heard Mu Shaoling shout, "Got one!"

And at that moment, Yang Chuxia finally understood why Mu Shaoling always failed to catch fish.

Turned out it was all that schemer Ye Zi’an’s doing.

She actually saw the old demon’s figure around the boat; with that streak of red lurking under the water, it was perfectly normal for Mu Shaoling to catch nothing.

"You’re too bad!"

Ye Zi’an knew she’d figured it out and laughed out loud. "Don’t you think this is fun?"

"Old Ye, you’re amazing." Mu Shaoling laughed heartily. "I actually did catch one."

They stayed out at sea for nearly the whole day and only headed back to shore when the sun was about to set.

Originally, Yang Chuxia had planned to have a barbecue on shore before going back, but as soon as they got off the boat, they saw a servant from home.

"Old Master, Madam, the young masters have returned from the Capital City. It’s Young Master Fei and Young Master Xing and the others."

"What, my precious grandsons are back?" Yang Chuxia’s eyes went wide, and she hurriedly urged Ye Zi’an, "Come on, let’s hurry home."

Seeing this, Mu Shaoling quickly asked, "Mine are back too?"

"Beize and Young Master Beiyun have also come over."

"Oh, that’s great. Forget fishing, let’s hurry home and play with the grandkids." With that, he tossed his fishing rod aside, moving at top speed.
