The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1561: There is a difference between edible fish and ornamental fish

The two split up and searched the inside and outside of the old house, but still found no trace of the two.

"Did you find them?"

"Even Granny couldn’t be found?"

"Where on earth did those two go? Without even telling us. Do you think they went out?" Mo Qingqin asked, leaning on her waist and gasping for breath.

"No way, if they went out, Jian Jian would definitely have told me."

"If they didn’t go out, we’ve searched everywhere and still can’t find them?"

"We haven’t checked the backyard yet!"

"The backyard?" The backyard of the old house is no small area. Searching there would be exhausting. "What would they be doing in the backyard for no reason?"

"There’s nowhere else left now!"

Reluctantly, they followed Chu Liyuan to the backyard.

"Grandpa, did you catch any?" Jian Dan had lost count of how many times she’d asked this question.

The two of them had been feeling around in the pond for ages and hadn’t caught a single fish.

"Grandpa, I think even if we keep this up until nightfall, we won’t catch anything."

"Then what do you suggest we do, Little Jian?"𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Don’t we need a fishing net to catch fish?"

"A fishing net? Where are we going to find one of those in the old house?"

"Then what should we do?

I know, why don’t we use our jackets as a fishing net?"

"Hmm! Great idea!" As soon as he said that, Grandpa had already taken off his jacket and thrown it to Jian Dan.

"Grandpa, what are you..." Jian Dan caught the jacket he threw, looked at him puzzled.

"Aren’t we making a fishing net? Get on with it!"

"Me?"

"Who else? I don’t know how to make a fishing net."

Jian Dan stared helplessly at the jacket in her hands, gave a bitter smile, and took off her own jacket.

Why was her fate so bitter? It was too difficult!

After fiddling with the two jackets for a long time, she finally succeeded in creating something. Though it looked a bit ugly, the key was that it worked!

"Grandpa, look, I finished it!" Jian Dan excitedly showed Grandpa her creation, and in her excitement, she accidentally sat back into the pond with a splash.

Luckily, the water wasn’t deep.

"Little Jian, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" Grandpa quickly came over to help her up.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, let’s hurry and catch the fish!" Jian Dan, ignoring the pain in her backside, handed one end of the makeshift "fishing net" to Chu Zhiyuan, and the two of them held an end each.

After another round of scooping, finally, finally, finally, they caught one.

Just as the two of them were celebrating joyfully with the hard-earned fish, Mo Qingqin and Chu Liyuan arrived.

"What are you two doing?"

Looking at the two standing in the middle of the pond, both dirty, grasping a white and red koi fish with their four hands, jumping excitedly.

In the midst of their excitement, the two turned around when they heard the voice. "Uncle, why are you here as well? Look how awesome I am; I caught this," Jian Dan excitedly showed her catch to Chu Liyuan.

"Little Jian, that’s not fair, we caught it together, didn’t we?"

"But if it weren’t for my net, how could we have caught it?"

"That’s not how it counts, it’s..."

"Can I first ask why you suddenly decided to catch fish here?" Mo Qingqin slowly asked.

"Of course, we were catching fish!"

"And why did you want to catch fish?"

"It’s just..." Grandpa slowly lowered his head.

"Granny, can you promise not to be angry if we tell you?" Seeing Grandpa’s pitiful look, Jian Dan had no choice but to speak up.

"Tell me!"

"Grandpa accidentally dropped the fish into the trash bin and was afraid you’d be mad, so he thought of catching another one here."

"Haha!" Mo Qingqin almost burst out laughing in anger, walked a few steps forward, and stood in front of Chu Zhiyuan. "So you say?"

"I just didn’t want you to be mad at me?" Grandpa said without raising his head.

"I’m not mad, I just find it funny.

Do you even realize that ornamental fish and edible fish are different?"

"What’s the difference with fish? Can’t this one be eaten?" Chu Zhiyuan held the white fish out to Mo Qingqin.

Seeing the koi still opening and closing its mouth, Mo Qingqin couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
