Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System

Han Ruochen, however, was only surprised for a few seconds before returning to normal. She threw the mantis shrimp in the bucket and then turned to look for the remaining two shrimps. One by one, she carefully avoided the prickly thorns on the back of the mantis shrimps and then threw them in the bucket one by one. Unlike the first one, these two didn’t have any roe on their backs. But one of them was almost two jin, which could be sold for two hundred yuan, while the other one was smaller, only a jin. But even this could be sold for a hundred yuan.

Of course, Han Ruochen was not going to sell it. She was going to take this one back and cook it for her brother. Han Beijiang was almost seven years old, and yet he looked like he was just five. She needed to nourish her brother well.

Qi Boyan and Zhou Chen stared at the three peacock mantis shrimps, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground. This – this was really too much! Was Han Ruochen the daughter of the sea god or something of the sort? How come she was so lucky?

The two of them were really envious. If they were as lucky as Han Ruochen, then they too would have earned more than eight hundred yuan in one go.

"What do you think? I wasn’t lying to you, was I?" Han Ruochen said to the two boys.

She was casually making a remark, but the two kids thought that she was mocking them. Without waiting for a response, they turned around and ran back home. Seeing them run away, Han Ruochen raised her hand and touched her nose with an awkward look on her face. She clearly didn’t say anything wrong. Why did these two brats make it look like she was bullying them? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

She then turned to look at Han Beijiang, who was looking at her and smiled at him. Ignoring the two brats who ran away from her, she turned her attention to him. "What do you think, Beijiang? Your sister is really good, right?"

Han Beijiang nodded after a short pause. He had just read about these shrimps in the book a few days ago; they were really expensive and hard to find. His sister was really great; she could find something so good in a matter of a few seconds.

Han Ruochen smiled when she saw her brother respond. See this? He was not a fool or a simpleton; he just didn’t like to talk with fools.

Han Ruochen picked him up and then walked a bit further from the hole that she had dug. Her legs were feeling a bit jittery because she had been kneeling for a long time. Though this scanning system was really good, it was really hard on her legs. However, just as she walked past another mudflat. The one where the two brats were digging just a few seconds ago, she found a zebra mantis shrimp.

Han Ruochen: "..."

She sighed and then looked behind her. She was glad that the two brats had returned home because if they saw her digging a zebra mantis shrimp just a few inches away from the hole where they were digging cat-eyed snails, she was worried that they would really burst into tears. She quickly scooped out the mantis shrimp and threw it in the bucket. When she saw her brother looking at her, she placed a finger on her lips and said to him, "Don’t tell those two or else they will start crying."

Han Beijiang might not be much of a speaker, but he still understood what his sister was saying and nodded.

Han Ruochen smiled at her brother before scooping out the bunch of cat-eyed snails in the corner of the mudflat and throwing them inside the bucket as well. Though they didn’t sell well, they tasted quite good, and Han Ruochen, who had forgotten the taste of meat after being locked up in the Yang family, couldn’t help but crave this little meat. She remembered that her grandmother made some really good cat-eyed snails.

Thinking of her grandmother—Han Ruochen’s eyes turned dull. Her grandmother was a really formidable woman, but after the death of her son and watching his descendants die one after the other, the old woman could no longer withstand it and passed away. Of course, Han Ruochen knew that the death of her grandmother was not simple and had something to do with Han Ziyan.

However, she still had no idea what that woman did to her grandmother. For now, she could only wait and watch.

"Do you want to go and see granny?" Han Ruochen turned and asked her brother. She didn’t want to take the mantis shrimp back home; her second uncle was the one in charge of buying and selling the seafood in the village, and she could ask him to sell these shrimps in the market and give her a rounded price. But if she brought them back to the Han house—haha, she was worried that Meng Yunhan would turn the entire house upside down if she couldn’t find these mantis shrimp and send them to her lover’s house.

So, it was safer to go to her grandmother’s house, but she didn’t want to take her brother somewhere he didn’t want to go. At most, she would let him go back home and sell the mantis shrimp before bringing one back and eating secretly in the night. It wasn’t going to be easy, but she could always try.

Fortunately, her brother didn’t refuse and allowed her to take him back to their grandmother’s house. Seeing his response, Han Ruochen was overjoyed. Well, this solved a lot of problems for her. Turning around on her feet, she headed to the small red house at the opposite side of the island, where her grandmother lived with her second uncle and his family.

"Oh my, what are you carrying in your bucket?"
