Take Along A Spring

After sending off Jin Cuier's mother, Yang Fann was also sighing endlessly. There was a saying that it was difficult for officials to end the family's affairs. In the end, who was in the wrong and who was in the wrong, was there any point in pursuing the matter?    

    

Jin Cuier's mother pushed all the blame onto Yang Tiezhu. She said that the reason why she didn't care and take care of Jin Cuier was because of Yang Tiezhu, but in reality, Yang Tiezhu spent all his time outside drinking and gambling. Don't you even have the time to sneak into Jinjia Viilage and take a look at Jin Cuier?    

    

Even if it was Yang Tiezhu, what's the use of telling this to Yang Fann? Yang Fann couldn't beat Yang Tiezhu up, so what if he beat him up? Could it be that beating him up can make up for the injuries Jin Cuier suffered all these years?    

    

"Mom, I want to discuss something with you. Can you please stop messing with those fish?" Yang Fann said to Zhong Runjuan, who was exchanging water for the fish in the bucket.    

    

"If you have something to say, just say it. Do you want Yang Tiezhu's wife to come and help us? Have you thought about it? Aren't you afraid that Yang Tiezhu will find you and act like a scoundrel?" Zhong Runjuan looked down on Yang Tiezhu ten thousand times. A few years ago, Yang Xiangdong was in bad health, so Yang Tiezhu always wanted to make things difficult for them. If Zhong Runjuan was not stronger, the Liu family would definitely be bullied.    

    

"It's not Yang Tiezhu's wife helping us, it's his wife's daughter helping us." Yang Fann said as he helped Zhong Runjuan change the water from the fish in the bucket.    

    

"What?" Didn't that girl get taken away by her grandfather? And she's back to our Poplar Gully? " Zhong Runjuan had a deep impression of Jin Cuier and had played at Yang Fann's house many times when she was young.    

    

Last time I went to the town, I met her. She was selling vegetables with her grandfather, a lonely old man, a little girl, and she was bullied a lot, where bullying doesn't mean she would fail to spread rumors and slander her as a jinx. Anyway, our relationship when we were young was not that good, and we can't just leave her be.    

    

Yang Fann knew his mother's weakness. Although she looked very strong on the outside, she was actually soft-hearted. As long as she heard that someone else was living a pitiful life, she would definitely show kindness.    

    

As expected, when Zhong Runjuan heard about Jin Cuier's situation, she agreed without any hesitation: "Fann, go to town tomorrow and bring that girl over. Hearing that, it sounds very pitiful, in any case, you'll need some help to clean up the Pear Ridge, so as long as you're willing, you can let the grandfather and granddaughter pair work in Pear Ridge."    

    

In the several thousand mu of land in Pear Ridge Villa, Yang Fann couldn't manage it all by himself. Even including Zhong Runjuan and Yang Xiangdong, the rest of the family couldn't manage it even if they were to die from exhaustion.    

    

Therefore, hiring a worker is a given. Note that it's hiring a worker, not a helper. A worker works for a long period of time, while a helper only works temporarily. This is different.    

    

According to the old saying, a worker was called a permanent worker, while a helper was a temporary worker.    

    

However, in the past, those who hired permanent workers had all become landlords, fighting to the point of losing their lives. Now, those who hired workers were entrepreneurs, farmers were big bosses who needed their workers to be grateful for their work. They were of the same nature, yet their circumstances were as different as heaven and earth.    

    

After settling Jin Cuier's business with Zhong Runjuan, Yang Fann wasn't in a hurry to pick her up tomorrow. At the very least, he would have to wait until her leg injury completely recovered before he could go. Otherwise, with Jin Cuier's personality, she would definitely recover from her injuries.    

    

On the morning of the second day, after Yang Fann had paid the helpers on Pear Ridge and held their meeting, he went to the underground pond with Yang Xiangdong.    

    

Yang Fann didn't hire any more helpers this time. There wasn't much water left in the pond, all he needed to do was to watch the pumps. After the water was completely drained, it wouldn't be too late to get a clean water.    

    

The key thing was that Yang Fann had his own agenda today. He wanted to take this opportunity to take in some small fish and shrimp from the Space of Jade Pendant and use them as bait for the Pelteobagrus Fulvidraco and eel in the cistern.    

    

After yesterday's fishing, most of the big fish in the pond had been fished out. However, when Yang Fann came today, he found that there were still some big fish hidden in the aquatic plants.    

    

"Dad, give me that harpoon, and I'll show you a flying harpoon."    

    

Wearing long rubber boots, Yang Fann stood in the shallow water and asked Yang Xiangdong for a harpoon.    

    

"Kid, get out of the way, your father is going to fight today. Back when your father was chasing the wild boar in the mountains, your father was still at home peeing!" Yang Xiangdong didn't give the harpoon to Yang Fann no matter what. His hands were itchy since yesterday when Yang Fann didn't let him go into the water. If he didn't let him take the harpoon today, Yang Fann would definitely suffocate him to death.    

    

Due to the principle of refraction, there was a trick to pricking fish. The position of the prick was slightly lower than the position of the fish. Otherwise, there would be empty space for each prong, causing one to feel extremely depressed.    

    

In fact, they had all learned these things in junior high school. However, if they were to use them in practice, most people would not be able to do it. Although everyone knew about it, they would not be able to recall it if no one reminded them.    

    

This was why a soldier trained for ten years was not as experienced as a soldier who fought on the battlefield. A soldier who had no experience was a recruit, so he would be confused once he entered the battlefield.    

    

However, to Yang Xiangdong, who barely managed to finish primary school, knowledge and theories were nothing. His experience was enough to make up for everything.    

    

The water suddenly became turbid, and from time to time, there would be traces of red turning up. After a while, the prey in the water stopped struggling, and a huge black fish weighing 3-4 jin was dragged onto the shore by Yang Xiangdong excitedly.    

    

Pfft!    

    

It was another big grass fish that weighed four to five catties …    

    

Pfft!    

    

It was another red fish that weighed about 3 jin …    

    

"Stop!" Stop! "Stop!" Yang Fann was extremely anxious, "Dad, you're my dad, stop it now. There are only a few fish left in the pond. If you continue like this, I won't be able to even touch one!"    

    

Taking advantage of Yang Xiangdong's lack of attention, Yang Fann had already collected a lot of small fish and shrimps into the storage pool in the space. He also collected some aquatic plants to keep the water fresh and not lose oxygen.    

    

With these miscellaneous fish and shrimps, the food problem of the Pelteobagrus Fulvidraco in the cistern had been solved. Yang Fann even extravagantly added a few Spatial Spring Water into the cistern, and also gathered some water grass seeds, preparing to use the Spatial Spring Water to breed and throw them into the cistern. That way, the fish and prawns inside could also eat aquatic plants for a living.
