Chapter 1314: Chapter 1315: The Young Widow of the Courtyard 42
Zhang Yu felt a fish bite, and her heart was filled with joy, she didn’t expect today’s catch to be so quick.
She wasn’t sure if a few neighbors were genuinely fishing, or if it was just a coincidental eting.
Zhang Yu hoped that her catch today would be plentiful, and through these neighbors’ mouths, the courtyard neighbors would know her fishing skill.
The surprise ca so quickly, so quickly that she had a fish on the hook, and the corners of her mouth lifted happily.
But soon she couldn’t smile anymore, as the pressure from the fish was imnse, and it was trying hard to escape.
If it weren’t for the recent good diet and Zhang Yu’s frequent fishing and moving things in the warehouse, her arm strength wouldn’t have increased.
Otherwise, Zhang Yu would really worry about not being able to hold on, even after so training. Fighting with the fish for over ten minutes had exhausted her strength.
Fortunately, the fish in the river had also consud a lot of energy, and its struggle was much weaker. Otherwise, Zhang Yu truly feared that the fish wouldn’t be caught.
“Hold on,” Old White saw the fish nearing the shore and rushed over with a fishing net.
And so, with the cooperation of Zhang Yu and Old White, a large black fish, about 1.2 ters long, was brought ashore.
Zhang Yu knew the fish was big, but she didn’t expect it to be so big, and it was a black fish.
You know, black fish are really not easy to handle, yet she managed to catch one.
The fishing n gathered around were stunned, their mouths agape, and they didn’t speak for a long ti.
They had guessed it was a big fish, but didn’t expect it to be such a huge one.
Soone gulped; as fishern, most have had so catches, caught big fish, or seen soone catch one.
But compared to Zhang Yu’s haul today, nothing really compared.
Old White was also taken aback by such a long black fish, then imdiately lunged at it.
“Xiao Zhang, I rember you saying that the biggest fish you caught today is mine.”
Zhang Yu was still imrsed in the joy of her substantial catch when she heard Old White’s words and recalled what she had said earlier.
At this mont, she really regretted it. Why did she have to say she would give the catch? No, she should have just traded so bait with Old White for him to try.
But now, the words were out, what could she do?
This big fish must be at least 15 or 16 jin, yet she had to give it to Old White, and for just half a jin of oil coupons.
Although she was reluctant, there was nothing she could do; it was her word, and she couldn’t go back on it.
“Yes, Elder Bai, it’s yours.”
“You take it, you take it.” Zhang Yu didn’t want to see this big black fish any longer; if she kept looking, she would really cry.
The reason Old White lunged at the black fish was to secure priority. If it was a one or two jin fish, giving half a jin of oil coupons would only be a slight loss for Zhang Yu.
But now, Zhang Yu had caught such a big fish, and half a jin of oil coupons really didn’t seem enough.
But she didn’t expect, from the girl’s reaction, that she was just giving the fish to him.
Old White confird again with Zhang Yu, “Xiao Zhang, are you sure the fish is for ?”
The other fishern were unhappy, “Old White, you can’t do that. Although you helped, you can’t just take the fish.”
Old Feng, a cook at the factory canteen mainly doing small als, would sell the fish he caught to the factory, and he was especially pleased with today’s big black fish.
Tonight, the factory had a guest reception, and having such a big black fish would solve many problems and surely bring benefits?
Old Feng was already considering his offer, but then Old White jumped out, and he wasn’t about to yield.
Zhang Yu knew Old Feng was a top chef at the factory, and with sothing good, she could definitely sell it to him.
If it wasn’t for Old White’s move, Zhang Yu would definitely sell this big black fish to him.
“Old Feng, I promised Elder Bai, the biggest catch today is his.” Zhang Yu tried to avoid looking at that big black fish.
Old White was so happy, he even did a little jig, “You heard that.”
“You heard her, Xiao Zhang herself admitted the fish is mine.” Old White happily took out quite a few tickets from his pocket.
“Girl, I didn’t expect you to have such a big catch today.”
“How about this, I have a bicycle coupon here, it’s yours.” Old White, with a big gesture, handed the ticket to Zhang Yu.
Everyone was stunned. Even Old Feng, who wanted to compete with Old White, didn’t dare anymore.
You must know that a bicycle coupon could at least fetch 50 to 60 in the market, and if tis were good, 80 to 90 was possible.
Ah, Zhang Yu didn’t expect that, she thought she’d lose out, but actually, there was such a gain.
Zhang Yu swallowed hard, “Elder Bai, this is too much.”
“It’s not, we already have a bicycle at ho, take it.”
“It’s just right since your son is going to middle school soon, you can buy it for him.” Old White knew Zhang Yu had a son who was about to start middle school.
Alright, Zhang Yu thought about it and didn’t refuse anymore. As Zhao Lei got older, she couldn’t keep biking with two kids on her own.
Buying another bike was the right thing to do.
“Thank you, Elder Bai.”
“Next ti I catch a big fish, I’ll give it to you.” Zhang Yu knew that not just another big black fish, but two more were worth a bicycle coupon.
“No need, no need.” Old White didn’t fish anymore; he just waited there for soone to pick him up.
Anyway, the black fish wasn’t being kept in the river, so it wouldn’t die quickly.
The neighbors couldn’t believe it, looking towards Zhang Yu; what, the fish that Zhang Yu caught, they couldn’t believe it was from the fishern. They wouldn’t believe it.
They didn’t fish, but it was rare for people to catch such a big fish; even the fishern hadn’t experienced it.
Plus, Zhang Yu now had a bicycle coupon; they couldn’t even imagine.
While they were still thinking about improving their als with fishing, Zhang Yu had already fished herself a coupon.
They looked at each other and chuckled helplessly, “This is sothing.”
What could they say? All they had in their hearts was envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
A young man soon ca, dragging the big fish away.
After a brief rest, Zhang Yu packed up her fishing gear to go back ho.
Besides being out for a long ti, Zhang Yu was already quite exhausted, her arms almost done, with no strength left to fish.
Everyone started discussing; they had been fishing here for a long ti and had never caught a black fish, especially not one this big.
