I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 44

44 Who Do You Think You Are?

The fish meat was tender and smooth, and the fragrance of the porridge filled the air.

Not long after, the bowl of porridge in Shen Yao’s hand was empty.

“How does it taste?”

“It’s delicious.” Shen Yao nodded in satisfaction. “Your culinary skills are superb.”

“Thank you for your praise.” Ji Zhao accepted the praise and smiled happily.

Shen Yao ate two bowls of porridge in a row. In the end, he could not eat anymore and reluctantly put down his bowl and chopsticks.

“I heard from Brother Da Zhuang that the pond five miles away from Shanghe Village has dried up?” Zhao Lanhua looked at her man curiously as she cleared the dishes. “There are a lot of fish in that river, right?”

“Not only fish, but also prawns. But they’re not big.” Shen Dashan, who was cleaning the basket, sighed faintly. “Uncle Huzi gathered us to raise some fish and prawns back then. He wanted to bring everyone to make a lot of money, but in the end, we encountered a drought for three consecutive years. If it weren’t for the fact that the pond wasn’t too far from the river, I’m afraid the fish and prawns inside would have dried to death.”

“Isn’t the predicted harvest not bad this year? Uncle Huzi wants to fish a batch of fish and prawns first and bring them to the county city to sell them. He wants to see if he can get back some capital.” Shen Dashan frowned and said, “Didn’t our family invest 20 taels of gold back then? So Uncle Huzi asked me to fish some fish and prawns too.”

“Alright, bring Third Brother along later. I’ll go to the vegetable garden to fertilize.” Zhao Lanhua nodded slightly.

“Mother? Can I go out and watch the fun too?” Second Sister-in-law Shen quickly approached Zhao Lanhua and begged anxiously.

“You’re pregnant. What fun do you want to join in on?” Zhao Lanhua frowned unhappily.

“I can ask Ah Tao to accompany me!” Second Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly winked at Ji Zhao and asked with a smile, “Ah Tao, you will definitely take good care of Second Sister-in-law, right?”

“Mother, why don’t you let Second Sister-in-law and Ah Tao go together?” Shen Yao suddenly said, “Father and I will go into the water to catch fish. Second Sister-in-law and Ah Tao can help to watch.”

“Alright.” Zhao Lanhua nodded and reminded her carefully, “Ah Tao, remember to take good care of your second sister-in-law. Don’t let anyone push her!”

“OKay!”

Before nine o’clock, the pond outside Shanghe Village was already surrounded by people.

Ji Zhao brought Second Sister-in-law Shen to a relatively flat place and looked at the scene in the pond together.

The pond was huge, at least 80 square meters.

Shen Yao rolled up his pants and was about to go into the pond when he heard a mocking voice.

“Third Brother Shen, a cripple like you also came to join in the fun? Hahahaha!”

Hearing that ear-piercing voice, Ji Zhao looked over unhappily.

A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks stood in front of Shen Yao. He had a reed in his mouth and a mocking smile on his face. He said sarcastically, “In my opinion, a cripple like you shouldn’t join in the fun.”

Shen Yao looked at him expressionlessly.

“Yo, the cripple has a temper?” Just as the man was about to attack, he felt a sharp pain on the top of his head!

Ji Zhao grabbed the man’s throat with one hand and grabbed the few strands of hair on the man’s head with the other.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“Didn’t your mother teach you to rinse your mouth before going out?” Ji Zhao narrowed her eyes dangerously and questioned coldly!

“You… Cough, cough, cough…” After the man’s face turned completely red, Ji Zhao let go.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you attack me?”

The man raised his fist at Ji Zhao angrily!

Ji Zhao scoffed and dodged his attack. With a sweep of her leg, she knocked the man down again!

She clapped her hands and placed one foot on the man’s back.

“Ji Ah Tao is the name! Who do you think you are?”

“Ah Tao, let him go.”
