He Zhiran was very interested in sitting on the shore watching.
Mo Jiuye had martial arts skills. Entering the water to walk did not feel any resistance.
Seeing the river water was about to reach his thighs, Mo Jiuye stopped.
He concentrated and stared at the water surface. He saw him make a quick move, inserting the branch into the river water.
When he raised the branch, there were two large carps jumping around.
It made the people watching on the shore cheer.
He Zhiran had just stood up when Mo Jiuye swung the two large carps onto the grass in front of her.
The sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue swarmed over to compete for cleaning them.
The officials also felt happy seeing this scene. They would be able to eat delicacies tonight.
No matter it's eyesight or action, Mo Jiuye was much faster than He Zhiran.
One lively large carp after another was swung ashore by him.
Seeing the sisters-in-law competing to process them, He Zhiran simply took their water bags and went farther away to draw water from the river bank.
She pretended to put the water bag into the river water, but a finger remained at the opening of the water bag.
With her consciousness, she slowly led the water from the water purifier in her space into the water bag.
Although the ancient river water was not polluted, there were still many bacteria.
When possible, she tried to choose clean and sanitary pure water for her family.
At Mo Jiuye's side, it seemed he had good luck, in He Zhiran’s view, all the fish in the small river had swum to his vicinity.
She saw him move almost non-stop, constantly swinging fish ashore.
And it was not just large carps he caught, there were other varieties.
Such as sheatfish and crucian carp.
The sisters-in-law kept running back and forth, taking the fish he caught to process.
Everyone from Fang Family and Xie Family also ran over to help.
Even so, everyone was still busy and swamped. It showed how amazing Mo Jiuye’s fishing speed was.
Seeing the pile of fish getting higher, He Zhiran couldn’t help but remind him.
"Dear, there are enough fish already."
In fact, no one else knew that while Mo Jiuye looked like he was fishing in the river, only he himself knew best that this was his way of venting.
The gloom in his heart these days gave him a suffocating feeling.
Only this way could he feel that he still had some use.
Hearing He Zhiran's reminder, Mo Jiuye stopped his actions and waded through the river water towards the shore.
His pants were already wet a lot, and he had no spare clothes to change into.
Fortunately it was summer. The wind would quickly dry it after blowing on it.
Old Lady Mo understood her son best. She knew he was upset because the Mo family was exiled unjustly.
She walked over with eyes full of distress, wiping Mo Jiuye's forehead, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Mo Jiuye had just vented, and felt much more relaxed.
Seeing his mother's struggles, he gently comforted her.
"Mother, don't worry. I will try my best to survive. If there is a chance, I will definitely exonerate the charges against the Mo family, and let you and the sisters-in-law live a good life."
Old Lady Mo nodded, "As long as you are mentally prepared, remember to look forward. I believe Heaven will not always be unfair to the Mo family."
The mother and son spoke softly here, and the river bank had already exploded.
All the women from the three families were gathered there cleaning Mo Jiuye's caught fish.
The joy on everyone's faces could not be concealed.
None of these women were not born in prominent households. They had lived a life of luxury since childhood, and had countless people waiting on them.
Now it was up to them to work for food and clothing, but they felt it was a kind of fun, and temporarily forgot the reality.
What He Zhiran thought was that if the word "exile" and their current status were ignored, this kind of life would be like backpacking in her previous life.
Although everything had to be done by themselves and life was harsher, this unlimited contact with nature could make people relaxed in body and mind.
Among the exiled, only some of them had this refreshing feeling.
The He family and Li family were now glaring at those busy women on the riverside, eyes burning with fire.
Looking at the fish in their hands, they wished they could rush forward and grab some.
But with so many officials watching, they could only think about it in their hearts...
The women kept chatting by the riverside.
"Ninth younger brother, with so many fish, wouldn't they go bad if we can't finish them?"
"Ninth younger brother is really amazing. He caught so many fish at once. I guess he didn't even think about whether we could finish them."
"Sister-in-law Mo, can we eat with big appetites tonight?"
"Miss He, I've lived half my life and this is the first time I'm cleaning fish. I have to say, it's quite simple."
Little Xie Lin was not afraid of the fish being dirty either. He hugged a big fish and ran to He Zhiran.
"Auntie, look, the fish is looking at me!"
In her previous life, He Zhiran's living environment made it difficult to get in touch with children. Seeing Xie Lin's lively appearance now, ripples rose in her heart.
She gently touched Xie Lin's head.
"Lin'er, good boy, auntie will give you candy."
Speaking, He Zhiran used her sleeve to conceal as she accessed her space, took out two pieces of rock sugar from the spice cabinet in the kitchen.
"Lin'er, go eat them secretly. Don't let the bad guys snatch them."
After all he was a child, as soon as He Zhiran mentioned bad guys, Xie Lin subconsciously looked towards the He family and Li family.
Seeing the fiery eyes of those people, Xie Lin shrank his little neck.
In order not to let the rock sugar fall into the bad guys' hands, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth. He also abandoned the fish he was hugging and quickly ran to his father's side.
He Zhiran watched Xie Lin run away, and picked some fish from the ones the women had finished processing.
Mo Jiuye was very perceptive and followed along. He found several large rocks and built a simple stove, then squatted beside to help make a fire.
Seeing this, the men from Fang Family and Xie Family also followed Mo Jiuye's example and built stoves.
The Mo family's benevolence had bought them large iron pots, and also gave them grains and vegetables.
If they kept eating food prepared by others, it would be somewhat undeserved.
The three large iron pots were all set up. He Zhiran was responsible for making dinner for the Mo family. The Fang family and Xie family also had women returning to start making dinner.
Peng Wang knew that the Mo family's dinner would definitely have a share for them. So he ordered the officials to gather some firewood and deliver it, which was also helping out.
The women from Xie Family and Fang Family did not know how to cook. They all followed He Zhiran's example.
After half an hour, the braised fish from the Mo family came out of the pot with full aroma and taste.
As soon as the pot lid was lifted, the aroma drifted very far away.
Now they didn't need to think about sharing with Fang Family and Xie Family. They simply gave some to the officials. Everyone in the Mo family hugged a bowl of rice and enjoyed the meal surrounding the iron pot.
At this time, the braised fish made by Xie Family and Fang Family was also ready, but compared to the Mo family's, the taste was barely satisfactory.
Even so, it still made the He Family and Li Family people far away green with envy.
