Capítulo 1863: Chapter 1864: Female Passerby Intellectual Youth 6
Zhang Yu pretended not to see Wang Yan and found a place to fish.
Yes, that’s right, Zhang Yu has recently beco obsessed with fishing, spending the whole day out fishing.
Occasionally she catches sothing, bringing it ho to improve her als, which explains why such a little girl is always running outside.
There’s no choice, in this era, coupled with living in an apartnt building, whenever soone has a guest, everyone rembers clearly what each family has for dinner.
Especially recently, the issue of who would go beco an intellectual youth has made her family a focal point for the neighbors’ attention.
If she looks unwell, it ans she’s unhappy; if she smiles, it’s forced; if she doesn’t go out, she’s sad at ho; and if she goes out, it’s to cheer herself up.
In their eyes, as the defeated one in the neighborhood’s internal strife, no matter what Zhang Yu does, everyone thinks there’s sothing off about her.
Zhang Yu is also helpless, but luckily she can go out fishing now, making so catches, or she wouldn’t know how to fend off the gossip.
She knows that even with her catch, the neighbors would still gossip behind her back, but she doesn’t care—she’s living her own life, so why bother caring that much.
Carrying her small fishing rod and plastic bucket, Zhang Yu expertly headed to her usual spot, only to find it occupied.
Zhang Yu was confused; as soone who ca later, finding a good spot here is really hard, with even slightly desirable places having no shade.
Who would have thought such a good spot would be taken, especially by soone snatching her place, and not just anyone, but a veteran fisherman.
However, this person has a bad temper, having seen Zhang Yu’s good catches recently, and was constantly gossiping behind her back out of envy and jealousy.
Hearing the targeted, yet unnad remarks, Zhang Yu was a bit upset, but she ca here to make so money, exchanging for so ration tickets or sothing.
Plus, she wouldn’t stay here long, so it’s unnecessary to cause trouble, yet she didn’t expect soone to provoke her needlessly.
If soone insists on fishing here, let them fish slowly.
She could catch big fish here not because the spot was great or a lucky place, but because her bait was good.
Now that soone voluntarily gave up such a good spot, she had no hesitation to move under the shaded area.
Everyone saw Old Wu take the little girl’s spot and thought she would lose her temper, but unexpectedly she moved to Old Wu’s previous fishing spot and sat down quietly.
Seeing Zhang Yu with no objections, the others naturally didn’t speak up, and the scene remained quiet.
Old Wu was prepared for the little girl to make a fuss, but who would’ve thought she stayed calm and sat in his old spot, leading Old Wu to sneer.
His previous spot had no sun, but the catch was truly sparse; overall, it was really a worn-out spot.
But it’s good that the little girl didn’t make any noise; it would be unpleasant if things got rowdy.
Before, so would chat a bit, but faced with today’s odd atmosphere, everyone kept quiet.
Putting her stuff down, Zhang Yu took out her prepared bait and lay quietly on the grass, waiting for a bite.
Soon, Zhang Yu noticed the rod moving and got excited. To the disbelief of the onlookers, she swiftly reeled it in as the fish slowly surfaced.
Everyone’s mouths dropped open, “What a big fish.”
“This fish must be at least three pounds.”
Though often empty-handed, fishing here usually yielded sothing worthwhile, or they wouldn’t endure the scorching sun.
Previously, everyone was roughly at the sa level, but who knew a little girl would so elegantly outdo them all.
That’s why when they saw Old Wu take the little girl’s spot, they didn’t interfere, adding another reason to their silence.
But unexpectedly, even after changing spots, the little girl still caught a big fish, leaving everyone stunned.
Initially, when they saw Old Wu take the little girl’s usual fishing spot and pull two fish under a pound, it made him very happy, thinking the spot was good because it caught plenty of fish before.
But they didn’t expect that as soon as the little girl ca over, she caught such a big fish, especially since she sat in his old spot, leaving Old Wu Tou looking sour, suddenly feeling the fish in his bucket were not that impressive anymore.
People looked at Zhang Yu’s happy expression, then at Old Wu’s displeased look, and focused back on their own rods.
Zhang Yu put the fish into her bucket, rebaited her hook, and in the surprised eyes of others, caught several more big fish.
Old Wu couldn’t sit still anymore; he was envious before, but since he took this spot first, he couldn’t regret it and switch back.
But seeing Zhang Yu catch several big fish now, he couldn’t hold back, standing up suddenly, “Little girl, let’s swap spots.”
“No way.” Zhang Yu calmly replied, “If you think my spot is good, you can take it.”
“So, I change my spot to fish, and you see I can catch big fish, and you want to switch back? What, is this place marked with your na, and it belongs to you?”
“Isn’t it legally stated that all land is national property?” Zhang Yu wasn’t intimidated at all.
She was just a little girl, and they thought they could bully her. If she stepped back now, it’s predictable they’d make her give up her spot next ti sothing like this happened.
“Old Man Wu, if you think there’s so much to say here, fine, try coming early tomorrow to grab a spot.”
“Anyway, I co late, you can all choose where to sit, but once I sit after arriving, I won’t change spots that day.” You want to switch spots? Fine, switch daily, but no mid-day changes allowed.
Old Man Wu was infuriated, his face turning red, but Zhang Yu completely ignored him, leisurely fishing, then catching another big fish under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Old Man Wu was truly regretful, initially wanting to intimidate Zhang Yu and make this little girl realize his power.
Zhang Yu glanced over, “I’m going to be assigned as an intellectual youth in a few days, if I get injured and it delays my trip…”
Right now, the authorities are very strict about this, worried people might fake illness to avoid going.
“People might fake illness, but if I have an accident, Old Man Wu…” Now GWH is a mad entity, Zhang Yu gambled that Old Man Wu didn’t have the guts.
Old Man Wu imdiately backed down, “This place is not bad; why do I need to switch spots?”
