70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 126: Borrowing the Fishing Net

If it were someone else, Song Jiayan would have certainly rushed up and slapped her twice, but facing Xu Mumu, she didn’t dare. The image of Xu Mumu efficiently killing a wild boar kept flashing in her mind, and she was extremely wary of Xu Mumu.

After returning home, Xu Mumu took the buns to the kitchen cabinet and then pulled out the little biscuit box, calling a few children over.

"Big Sis, what is this? It smells good, seems like it’s edible." Xu Minglei looked at the iron box Xu Mumu took out, a bit curious.

"It’s biscuits, someone else gave them. You guys can share and eat them." Xu Mumu opened the box, inside were very thin biscuits. Xu Mumu took a piece to taste; it was fragrant and crispy, quite nice. The ones Yin Yang brought were indeed high-quality goods.

"Sis, this is delicious." Xu Minglei’s eyes lit up, the biscuits were sprinkled with lots of sesame seeds, tasting very fragrant.

"You guys take these and share them. Oh, Minglei, take some to Mom and Grandma, let them try the taste too." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Got it, Sis, I’ll go right away." Xu Minglei nodded.

"Big Sis, after we finish the biscuits here, can I have the box?" Xu Jiaojiao really liked the iron box, it was printed with various patterns, looking very pretty.

"If you like it, just take it." Xu Mumu said casually, just a biscuit box, she really didn’t care about it.

"Thank you, Big Sis." The little girl said happily.

After giving the children a lesson in the afternoon and leaving Xu Wan with a bit more basic homework, Xu Mumu took a few kids to the riverside.

The Zhiqing site was not far from the riverside, so Xu Mumu took a few kids there together.

It was her first time coming to the Zhiqing site, the houses here looked nice. In her memory, the houses here were very dilapidated at first, but a few Zhiqing pooled money to have the villagers help repair them, turning them into what they are now.

This was where a few male Zhiqing lived, so Xu Mumu didn’t go in. Instead, she encouraged her little brother to go in.

"Minglei, go see if Yin Zhiqing is inside. If he is, we’ll borrow his fish net." Xu Mumu said to her little brother.

"Okay, I’m going in." Xu Minglei nodded and then headed into the courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was knocked, and Huo Qingze opened the door.

Seeing Huo Qingze again, Xu Mumu couldn’t help but look at him twice; no wonder he’s the male lead in the book, indeed quite good-looking, a future domineering CEO, but now he has a rather chill demeanor, doesn’t talk much.

"It’s you, come in, Yin Zhiqing is inside." Yin Yang mentioned they would come in the afternoon.

"I won’t go in, little bro, you go." Xu Mumu chuckled and shook her head, retracting her gaze.

Xu Minglei wasn’t modest at all, he walked into the courtyard, and Yin Yang came out. He was packing up some things in his room when he heard Xu Mumu and the others, and once out, here they were.

"Yin Zhiqing, my sister asked me to borrow your fish net." Xu Minglei smiled at Yin Yang.

"Wait a moment, I’ll get it for you." Yin Yang nodded warmly, already seeing Xu Mumu standing outside the door.

The courtyard housed only men, and Xu Mumu was a big girl, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to come in; if any rumors spread, her reputation could be ruined.

Soon, Xu Minglei came out with the fish net; he liked this fish net very much. The fish net wasn’t big, convenient for catching fish, unlike the bulky big nets. This small fish net felt tailor-made for him, and he planned to use it longer later.

"Thank you, Yin Zhiqing." Xu Mumu smiled at Yin Yang.

"You’re welcome." Yin Yang shook his head, it was just a fish net.

After seeing Xu Mumu and the others out, Huo Qingze glanced at Yin Yang and then closed the courtyard door.

Now, only he and Yin Yang were in the courtyard, while the other two were still out, and he didn’t know what was up with them.

"Weren’t you very precious about that fish net? You actually lent it out." Huo Qingze looked at Yin Yang indifferently.

Last time, Shen Qi borrowed the fish net when two lines got broken, causing Yin Yang to refuse to lend it out.

"Just a fish net." Yin Yang remained even calmer.

"Depends on who it’s lent to, right?" Huo Qingze chuckled lightly.

"Don’t talk rubbish, it’s bad for the reputation of the young lady." Yin Yang frowned.

"Tsk tsk, just don’t fall for it." Huo Qingze shrugged, took another look at Yin Yang, and went back to his room.

He couldn’t bother with Yin Yang’s matters; he still had a pile of worrisome issues. His stepmother went to great lengths to stop him from returning, and even if he wouldn’t go, he could still be troubled.

Thinking of that younger brother, only two months his junior, Huo Qingze felt disgust flash in his eyes. His dad cheated while his mom was pregnant, and due to that, his mom’s health suffered after giving birth and she died of illness when he was five.

A month after his mother’s death, his dad eagerly brought that woman home, along with two kids, his ’good’ siblings.

That woman took over his mother’s belongings, and he would make sure they paid back tenfold.

The changes in Huo Qingze’s expression went unnoticed, and Yin Yang was occupied with his own thoughts, unable to focus on Huo Qingze.

Xu Mumu brought a few kids to the riverbank, and Yin Yang’s little fish net was loved by everyone, all wanting to use it first.

Using rock-paper-scissors, Xu Minglei succeeded in gaining the right to use it first.

Xu Mumu didn’t fight them over the fish net, she rolled up her pants and walked in the water wearing sandals. The river water was clear, cool, and very comfortable.

"Big Sis, look, I caught it, a rice shrimp." Xu Jiaojiao held the whisker of a rice shrimp, which was still bouncing, trying to break free.

"Throw it in the bucket, there’s still a bit of meat." Xu Mumu said with a smile; the rice shrimp didn’t have much meat, to taste was enough.

"Sis, I caught a crab too." Tiedan held a crab in his hand, not very large.

"Tiedan, your crab has less meat than my rice shrimp." The little girl proudly looked at the small crab in Tiedan’s hand.

"I’m sure I’ll catch a big fish." Tiedan was full of motivation, being crushed academically by this little girl and even belittled for catching crabs.

Xu Mumu didn’t care about the rivalry between the two kids, she carefully turned over some stones. Forget about catching fish—there was a net, and Xu Minglei could handle it. Underneath these stones, there were shrimps and crabs, which were her real targets.
