Quick Travel: The Happy Life of the Enchanting Banshee

While the fish were still alive, Old Lady Zhang quickly scraped off the scales with a knife, gutted them, and hung up the grass carps.

Then she scraped off the scales of the three carps, and when she was gutting the first one, she unexpectedly dug out a pearl from its belly. This made the old lady very happy.

She quickly wiped it clean with the rag in her hand, and after confirming that it was nothing but pearls, Mrs. Zhang was very excited.

Old Lady Zhang said in a trembling voice, "Old man, come over here and see what this is."

Old man Zhang was teasing Zhang Lingbao there, and was smiling at Zhang Lingbao's clever look.

But as soon as he heard the voice of his old lady, he hurried out of the main room.

When Old Man Zhang saw the pearl in the old woman's hand, he was very happy. This round pink pearl was worth a lot of money.

Especially since the size of this pearl is as big as his thumb, it is rare to find such pearls here.

Just a few years ago, I heard that some villagers dug out three small pearls from a river clam and exchanged them for several taels of silver.

Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang were extremely excited when they recalled what happened back then.

Old Mrs. Zhang felt that since this carp had it, the other two carps probably had it as well.

Old Mrs. Zhang quickly scraped off the fish scales, cut open the fish belly, and found another purple pearl, but it was smaller. However, this purple color must be rare.

Even if Mrs. Zhang didn't understand, she knew what was going on, so she quickly handed the fish to Old Man Zhang and continued to kill the fish.

Although the last fish did not have a pearl, it had a hollow peanut made of gold.

It looks so lifelike that even though it is hollow, it still has a lot of weight.

Old Mrs. Zhang was naturally beaming with joy. Even though her face was wrinkled, it couldn't hide her happy expression.

Old Mrs. Zhang originally planned to only use the fish caught by Old Man Zhang to stew for her family, while the three big fish caught by Zhang Lingbao would be made into cured fish, which could be exchanged for some money at the market.

Fish are either sold fresh or cured, which can fetch a high price.

The old lady originally wanted to sell this fish at Xiongshang Market, but it was too late now, so she had to make it into cured fish. It takes some effort but she can still make a lot of money.

But when he saw that there were so many good things in the fish's stomach, he naturally decided to cook all the fish so that the whole family could enjoy a good meal.

After all, there are quite a lot of people in the family, especially her son, who has grandchildren.

Originally, Mrs. Zhang's heart was all on the four boys. Although she loved Zhang Lingbao very much, he was still far inferior to her grandson.

But Zhang Lingbao was lucky enough, which made him receive attention.

Not to mention that because Zhang Lingbao let the family have such a meal, naturally everyone was happy,

Even the granddaughters of the Zhang family thought that today was a good day, as at least the whole family could satisfy their cravings, eat some meat, and replenish their bodies.

What made the granddaughters happiest was that the family stewed a lot of fish this time, so they could eat more.

After all, there was more fish, so they could share so much.

And this time grandma will definitely not be stingy. In the past, when there was little meat at home, grandma would just give more to the adults in the family.

After all, their parents all have to work, and even if these girls do work, they only do what they can, so naturally they are allocated less.

It’s not that they feel wronged by this distribution, but because they also want to eat it, but the meat is not so easy to get.

For example, they can only get some meat during festivals or when there are major events, not to mention that this is the case in every household.

They are eaten by those who provide labor.

And compared with these girls and those cruel people in the village, they are considered lucky.

Some baby girls were sold or simply thrown away because people didn't want to waste food at home.

Therefore, these granddaughters are still very grateful to their parents and grandparents.

In any case, the family's food had improved, so they were naturally full of energy and even removed the weeds and insects from their small vegetable garden on their own land.

The male laborers carried several buckets of water and watered all the vegetables, hoping that they would grow big and healthy.

When it grows mature, it can be put on their table and become another delicious dish.

Although Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang never mentioned all the lucky things that happened to Zhang Lingbao, they only said that they were caught by the old man.

It’s not because they want to take all the credit, but because if what Zhang Lingbao did were to get out, it would bring disaster upon them.

Although Old Lady Zhang and Old Man Zhang did not have much experience, they still understood that carrying a treasure would lead to disaster.

Especially Old Man Zhang, he felt that except himself, no one else should take Zhang Lingbao fishing.

If this secret were discovered and made public, all of their family would suffer, and they might even be killed.

Zhang Lingbao was playing with her small fishing rod out of boredom, but Old Man Zhang was confused, thinking it was just a stick?

But seeing how precious Zhang Lingbao was, Old Man Zhang had no choice but to put away his small fishing rod.

After all, Zhang Lingbao used this small broken fishing rod to fish.

Old man Zhang was thinking, if he used this fishing rod, would he be able to catch a big fish?

The next day, Old Man Zhang was not with Zhang Lingbao. Instead, he was holding two fishing rods, one was Zhang Lingbao's and the other was Old Man Zhang's.

Old man Zhang fished for a long time in the water, but he couldn't catch any fish with Zhang Lingbao's fishing rod. It was not as good as his good fishing rod.

Old man Zhang caught some miscellaneous fish and returned home. He told old lady Zhang about Lingbao's fishing rod, but there was nothing fascinating about it.

Zhang Lingbao's fishing rod recognizes its owner, so it will naturally not be used by old man Zhang.

Old man Zhang would take Zhang Lingbao fishing every now and then. Zhang Lingbao would naturally catch three fish each time, and each fish would be an unexpected catch.

The eyes that smiled at Old Lady Zhang were narrowed into a crescent slit.

Ever since Old Lady Zhang found out that her husband went fishing with Zhang Lingbao, she never let the fish caught by Zhang Lingbao be handed over to his son and daughter-in-law to clean up.

No matter what time it is, Old Lady Zhang has her own way of preparing fish. She will only clean the fish when only Zhang Lingbao and Old Man Zhang are at home.

If other people were present, Old Lady Zhang would find ways to drive them out and would never deal with the precious fish caught by Zhang Lingbao in front of other people.
