I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter’s Pampered Cousin

261 Hooked

However, it turned out that fishing sometimes had nothing to do with skill or the quality of the fishing rod, but with luck.

As Le Wan had caught a big salmon, her interest in fishing had been completely aroused. She picked up the fishing line again, changed the feed, and put the hook into the water.

Papa Le saw this from the other side and grunted in dissatisfaction. He complained to Mama Le,

“Baby, this is a blind cat that just happened to bump into a dead rat. If you want to continue fishing, you still need professionals like us.”

Mama Le glanced at the empty fish box beside him and her smile didn’t change.

“Indeed, luck can only be relied on for a while. If we want to catch fish continuously, we have to rely on you, the head of the family. I think Baby’s side has taken the initiative, so you’ll soon have fish on your side.”

“Of course,” Papa Le raised his head proudly, but the next second, he heard Le Wan’s cheers.

The smile on his face froze. He turned around and saw Zhai Jing squatting on the ground and helping to reel in the fishing line. Sure enough, Le Wan had caught something again.

This time, the fish line was not as tight, so it shouldn’t be a big fish. Hence, Zhai Jing put on a pair of woolen gloves and pulled the fish up alone.

“Ah, I know this! It’s a big yellow croaker!”

Le Wan didn’t mind the stench at all. She grabbed the struggling yellow fish with both hands and raised it high for Papa Le to see.

“Dad, look, we have yellow fish!”

Papa Le could only smile stiffly and praise,

“As expected of our baby. She’s so amazing.” Then, he turned around and looked at Mama Le with some resentment.

“Why do I feel like all the fish have gone to Baby?”

Mama Le could only comfort him.

“It’s probably because the sea goddess saw that Baby is cute and it’s her first time fishing, so she took special care of her. Let’s not compete with her.”

In general, places near the sea would worship the sea goddess because many people relied on fishing for a living. Before they boarded the ship, they had heard the captain mention that he had specially paid respects to the sea goddess before they set sail this morning. He guaranteed that everything would be smooth sailing today and that they would have a bountiful harvest.

People who did business were more or less superstitious. Although Papa Le wasn’t particularly interested in these things, he had more or less gotten used to them.

Therefore, after hearing his wife’s words, he began to mutter in a low voice,

“If the sea goddess is showing her spirit, then please bless me.”

Mama Le shook her head helplessly when she saw him mumbling. He was already fifty years old, but he was still like a child. However, even though she disliked it, she still loved him dearly.

Perhaps the sea goddess had really heard their prayers. Papa Le’s buoy began to move. His eyes lit up.

“It’s here, it’s here.”

On the other side, Second Brother Le was feeling depressed when he saw that Le Wan had caught two fish while there was still no movement from his side. Then, he heard Papa Le’s excited voice. He turned around and shouted,

“Don’t tell me you hooked on seaweed again!”

In the end, Papa Le glared at him.

“Go to hell with your doomsday mouth!”

Le Wan raised her hand.

“Dad, let me help you.”

Then, she picked up a fishing net and ran over.

Papa Le was holding the fishing rod and playing with the little guy in the water. When he heard this, he said happily,

“Our baby is so considerate.”

“I wonder what I’ll be able to catch.” Second Brother Le smacked his lips and put down his fishing rod at the end. He walked over and took the net from Le Wan’s hands.

“With your weak arms, I don’t know if you’ll be the one catching the fish or if the fish will catch you.”

“Hmph, I’m not that weak.”

Le Wan made a disdainful face at him, but in the end, she still gave him the fishing net. It was rare for Papa Le to catch a fish, and if it ran away, he would be really sad.

At first, Papa Le was also worried that he had caught some fish grass, but when he heard the sound of struggling on the line, he was sure that he had caught a living thing. He relaxed and grinned,

“Then let’s see what good stuff we’ve caught.”

The fishing line became shorter and shorter, and soon, a white wave could be seen on the water’s surface.

Le Wan peeked her head out and squinted her eyes to take a closer look. She seemed to see a long silver ribbon.

“It looks like a fish.”

Papa Le was a little disappointed when he heard that. If it was in the past, he might have been happy to catch a fish, but with Le Wan’s success, it wasn’t enough for him.
