Thanks Maddy for the extra ko-fi~ Thanks to my editor Gold Fairy~
Looking at the price of fish, it wasn’t too bad. Eight fish were sold for over 200 wen. It was equivalent to 200 Yuan ah (1). If it continued to sell like this, probably before winter comes, they could build a large brick house. The next day Ling Jingxuan casually grabbed some cornmeal to cook wild herb paste. He also ran around the courtyard for a long time. When the sky started to turn bright, he took the wooden bucket and headed towards Yuehua Ravine.
Today he planned on catching a few more fish. First, it was because when the entire family ate together, they didn't leave any leftovers. Second, the two little buns and him wore straw sandals. Their bodies wore clothes that were patched multiple times. So, he planned to make more money the next few days. Then, on another day, he would bring the two buns to the market to buy some things and replenish some others. As they say, food and clothes you need were endless. He did not plan to be poor for the rest of their lives. Even if they were poor, he did not want to treat himself and the buns unfairly on basic necessities.
“Dad, how did you catch so many fish today? I’ll come help you.”
From far away they saw Daddy approaching, strenuously carrying two buckets. At that moment the Little Bun who was running eagerly welcomed him. His little face was covered with sweat, the clothes on his body were also soaked with sweat. But, the smiling expression on his face was full of happiness and excitement.
“There’s a lot of fish! Daddy, we’re going to be rich.”
Not a single word from the Big Bun, who was following behind, didn’t include money. Ling Jingxuan also didn’t feel like ridiculing him and easily handed him the fishing net. A family of three carrying two large and full buckets happily returned home.
“Big Brother… problem… problem…”
Raising his eyebrow, Ling Jingxuan did not say anymore. After eating he brought Ling Jingpeng to the front yard to look at the fish. After sending him off, Ling Jingxuan found a bamboo basket in the backyard that was barely usable. Taking their family’s only sickle that could be considered sharp, he led the two buns to enter the mountain. As for the village problem, most likely when they came back, there would be a conclusion.***
