She knows people will imitate her, but she wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. Gu Chunzhu felt a little uncomfortable.
But this is a public river and everyone with skills can catch shrimps. Even if she was feeling a little uncomfortable, she would have to endure it.
She pretended to find an empty spot to sit down and catch shrimps.
After a while, the rod moved. Gu Chunzhu gently lifted it.
A river prawn, that wiggled and splashed, came out.
Gu Chunzhu ignored the envious eyes of the shrimp-fishers. She took the river prawn off the hook and put it in a wooden barrel, she then put another small earthworm on her hook to continue fishing.
After a while, Gu Chunzhu caught another shrimp.
Today, many people gathered to catch shrimps, and a lot of them haven't caught anything yet.
Seeing that she hooked shrimps one after another. Their eyes turned red with jealousy.
A man came over to ask. "Is your earthworm more fragrant? You hook shrimp easily. "
(TL: are you using earthworms as bait?)
"I don't know, maybe it's because of my position here. " Gu Chunzhu responded casually, focusing on her rod. She can't easily teach others of it or she'll starve to death. She will never cut her own lifeline.
The person who came to ask touched his nose, and went back to fishing quietly. Unexpectedly, his hook caught a river shrimp.
The people at the river saw it and thought Gu Chunzhu taught him a good way.
Some people decided to move.
Qui-shi dropped her rod and moved to Gu Chunzu's side. She asked affectionately: "Sister in law, can you teach me the secret of catching shrimp? I have spent and waited a long time, but I haven't caught anything yet."
"There's no secret "
Gu Chunzhu's didn't even glance at her.
She remembered her own vegetable garden, she had a hunch that it was either the old lady Su or Qiu-shi who did it but she can't be angry right now.
"We are family, why can you teach others and not me?" Qiu's eyes rolled.
Seeing Gu Chunzu's bucket near full Qiu-shi's heart burned with rage,
"If you do not tell me, I'll go back and tell mother to teach you a lesson!"
Gu Chunzu glanced at her coldly.
"You have to remember that our family has separated. Don't use mother to press me! If you don't have anything else to do, go find mother!"
Her voice was not low, so the people around them heard.
Some people even laughed lowly.
