Dr. Jiang's Daily Adversities

Cooperation?

Gu Ranzhi looked in the direction Jiang Tingxu left.

“Are you thinking of…”

“That’s right. Everything is in place; the time is ripe, and the people are ready.”

Gu Ranzhi coughed twice, but in his heart, he agreed.

“What do you say? Shall we work together?”

“Of course.”

Gu Ranzhi frowned. He felt as if a wild boar had eaten the cabbage he had painstakingly cultivated. He was most displeased.

Logically, there was no reason for him not to agree.

Moreover, his sister’s marital happiness was at stake.

“Fine!”

After receiving Gu Ranzhi’s agreement, Mo Boyuan beamed.

“Thank you, brother-in-law.”

“There’s no need for thanks. I just wanted to hear you propose it.”

That’s just the way things are.

Mo Boyuan knew what his sworn enemy meant, but he did not care.

Gu Ranzhi did not want to see his enemy’s smug face. He snorted and ignored him.

Outside…

With their father back home, the children were allowed out to play.

As they played, they heard a child’s voice not far away, “There’s fish! There’s fish!”

“Hurry up and catch it!”

The children looked at each other.

“Should we go over and take a look?” An An suggested.

It sounded like there were many other children over there.

Shi Tou wanted to go over as well. Children are naturally curious.

“Let’s go over and have a look.”

The group of children ventured in the direction of the sound.

It was not far. It was not far from the small supermarket. Only as they approached the other group of children did they realize there was a small pond nearby. Crowded around the pond were a group of children. They looked like children from the neighbouring village.

When the children saw Shi Tou and An An walking over, they waved at the duo excitedly.

“You are a celebrity!”

Everyone knew there was a film crew in the area.

Shi Tou and company nodded.

“What are you guys doing in the pond? It’s dangerous! Quick, get out of the water.”

How could islanders be afraid of water?

Every one of them was happier in the water than on land.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. We’re catching fish. Look, we’ve already caught two fish. We’ll roast the fish in the afternoon.”

Roast fish?

Shi Tou and An An felt restless. They wanted to eat some roast fish too.

The children swimming in the pond could tell what the pair was thinking. The children could tell that Shi Tou and company dared not enter the water.

“There’s a trawl net over there. You can use that!”

Not only was there a trawl net, but there were also small buckets. They were all miniature toys that the adults in the village had made for their children.

Shi Tou and An An were both very happy when they saw the trawl net.

Even if they did not dare step into the pool of water, they could still use the trawl net to catch fish from the waterside, couldn’t they?

Shi Tou was just about to jump in on the action when Ningning stopped him.

“Brother, you can’t play in the water. Mom said it’s dangerous.”

Shi Tou laughed it off. “It’s okay. I’ll stay by the banks. I won’t go down. If you’re scared, wait for me by the side. When I catch some fish, we’ll roast them together.”

On the other side, An An had already fetched a trawl net.

“Shi Tou, come quickly,” he shouted.

“I’m coming. I’m coming.”

Ningning could not dissuade Shi Tou at all.

“Brother Shi Tou, Brother An An, it’s dangerous. Please don’t go!”

However, the two of them pretended not to hear Ningning’s plea.

The little boy stood there angrily. Even Chi Xinxin and Xiao Yuer were carrying buckets and following behind Shi Tou and An An.

“Shi Tou, there’s a fish over there.”

“Where is it?”

“Right there, look! Hurry, or it’ll swim away.”

“I see it. Shh! Don’t be so loud.”

Soon, Shi Tou caught the fish with his trawl net.
