21: Bai Lang assists

"How do you know your sister likes me?" Yang Qi asked curiously.

Bai Lang said proudly, "Even a fool could tell. The way she looks at you is full of love. She kept mentioning your name today!"

"Speaking of which, what do you think of my sister? Do you think my sister is pretty? Do you like my sister?"

At this moment, a beautiful girl stood on the other side of the large rock, her face flushed, her hands clasped tightly, and her ears cocked, carefully eavesdropping on Yang Qi's conversation.

That's right, it was Bai Xue eavesdropping. She had just heard her younger brother call Yang Qi her brother-in-law and immediately felt incredibly ashamed.

Then, when she heard them talk about her liking Yang Qi, she secretly touched her burning cheeks and thought, "Is it that obvious?"

Indeed, ever since Yang Qi saved her that day, feelings had secretly blossomed, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.

When she met Yang Qi in Qingshan Town that day, she felt it was Mazu protecting her.

When she heard Yang Qi wanted to rent a house, she immediately decided to help him find a house near her own, so she could see him often if they were close.

Now, hearing her younger brother ask Yang Qi if he liked her, she was also incredibly nervous.

Yang Qi took a deep breath and, following his true feelings, said:

"Your sister is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Of course, I like her, but I'm completely broke right now and not qualified to pursue her. Your mom wouldn't agree either. I'll wait until I've made some money before I pursue her!"

"Hahahaha! Then you'll have to work hard! I'm rooting for you!"

"Oh wow ~ Brother-in-law, these two big ones, I think they must be over half a catty. Brother-in-law, you're really amazing!"

"Hehehe, this one of mine is pretty big too. Come, put it in your fish basket to keep it alive!"

"Cough cough cough!" Suddenly, a few coughs came from behind them.

The two turned their heads together to look, and it was Bai Xue who had arrived.

"Sister, you're here! Look, I've caught so many Rockfish. Brother caught even more than me." Bai Lang immediately started showing off, completely forgetting that he had just sold out his sister.

Bai Xue looked at Bai Lang's fish box; there were indeed quite a few, about six or seven catties.

"Hmm, that's a lot." She nodded to her younger brother.

She turned to look at Yang Qi's fish box; it already had over ten catties.

She pretended to be casual and said to Yang Qi, "You two are both very impressive. Here ~ I bought you antarctic shrimp bricks."

Yang Qi looked at Bai Xue, who was holding two packs of antarctic shrimp bricks, and suddenly thought of a few words: bright eyes and white teeth, skin like congealed fat, tall and graceful.

He felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He immediately made a silent decision: "It's her. I need to work hard to make money."

"Thank you, Bai Xue!"

Taking the antarctic shrimp bricks, Yang Qi stared into Bai Xue's eyes and said softly.

The two just stared blankly at each other, as if time had stopped in that instant. The other's figure had already been deeply etched into each other's minds.

Everything was unsaid.

"Hey, hey, hey! Watch the setting! There's still a minor present!" Bai Lang's voice chimed in at an inopportune moment.

"Your eyes are practically dripping!"

The two instantly snapped out of it, Bai Xue's cheeks flushed, and she lightly hit her younger brother with a chiding look.

"Ah ~!" Bai Lang exaggeratedly cried out, "I've suffered internal injuries, you two have to compensate me.

If I hadn't noticed you coming over, Sister, and deliberately tried to get information from Brother, I estimate that with your personalities, it would take another two months for you two to finally confess."

"Ha ~! This kid is alright! Worth befriending!"

Yang Qi also felt grateful to this young brother.

Bai Xue quickly said to her younger brother, "Don't go around saying anything at home!"

"Sister, you're overthinking it! I helped you two because I saw that you're both interested in each other.

Besides, you're just having a normal relationship, not getting married right away. Anyway, one of you still needs to study, and the other needs to earn money to prove his capabilities.

If your parents find out, they can use this time to observe you two. You can't just marry him because Yang Qi saved you. Isn't this a better approach?"

Both of them were stunned. "Damn, are post-2000s kids all this amazing now? What are they teaching in schools these days? Are they all producing life mentors?"

Yang Qi immediately expressed, "Thanks for this, Xiaolang!"

Bai Lang said, "Then take me fishing more often in the future!"

"No problem! When I buy a boat in the future, as long as your parents agree, I'll take you out to sea to catch big fish!"

"Hehehe, I've always wanted to go deep-sea fishing for big fish, don't forget it when the time comes!"

Bai Xue rolled her eyes at her younger brother. Standing behind the two, watching them happily catching fish, her hands were starting to itch.

Suddenly, she thought of a crucial point and turned to ask Yang Qi, "Yang Qi, you've caught so many Rockfish now, have you thought about how you're going to deal with them?"

Yang Qi thought for a moment, "Hmm, I'll make a call and ask!"

He pulled out his phone and called Yu Dafu:

"Hello ~ Brother Yu, how are you!"

"I've been moving these past two days! Yes! I've moved to Qingshan Town now."

"It's like this, I've caught some Rockfish weighing four or five taels here, do you want them?"

"You didn't hear wrong, they're individual fish weighing four or five taels. How could I lie to you?"

"You want them, right! 60-120 per fish, what about adding more ice, these are still in the fish basket, all alive."

"Really, it's truer than pearls! Live ones are 120-280 per fish? About thirty-odd fish!"

"Yes! Why are they all big ones? There are more two or three tael ones. Any live ones over two taels are fine, right? Okay, okay."

"That's right! Brother Yu, you're still the most thoughtful, it's best if you drive your fish transport truck here. Okay! I'll send you the location."

He hung up the phone after speaking. He looked at the siblings, who were staring at him with wide-open mouths.

He waved his hand and said, "You heard it too, live ones fetch a higher price. We still have about half an hour left."

"We need a bigger bucket to hold the fish and an aerator to keep them alive."

Bai Xue immediately decided, "Younger brother, we still have a big bucket and an aerator at home. Go borrow another aerator from our second uncle next door. I'll go borrow a bucket and an aerator myself! Remember not to tell anyone about fishing here!"

"Yang Qi's technique is good, he should stay here and continue fishing. Anyway, you don't have anywhere to borrow things. Until we come back, then we'll take the catch to your place and wait for your Brother Yu."

The three immediately split up. Bai Lang rode Bai Xue's electric bike home, while Bai Xue rode Yang Qi's tricycle to borrow things.

Yang Qi, on the other hand, sped up his fishing, directly placing the bait near the mouths of the larger Rockfish.

Basically, every time he lifted his rod, he could catch at least two big ones. His movements never paused for a second; he had to keep up the pace, no choice!

He didn't stop until the siblings returned with large boxes.

The three immediately put the smaller fish, those under three taels, into a large box and started two aerators. They found that due to too many fish and limited space, some had been crushed to death.

They picked out the dead ones and put them in Bai Lang's small live fish box, and the half-dead ones went into Yang Qi's live fish box with an aerator running, not caring whether they survived or not.

Finally, they put the large Rockfish from the large fish basket that had been soaking in the water into another large water tank, also starting two aerators.
