Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 711 - 710: Catching Field Crabs (Part 1)

Shen Qingju looked at her and said, "I heard from grandma that when you were two, you were diagnosed with a foolish illness. The doctor told your parents to abandon you because it couldn’t be cured. After saying that, the doctor got a severe scolding from uncle.

Shen Qinglan was taken aback, suddenly feeling somewhat grateful. Fortunately, this little fool was born into the Shen Family. If it were another family, she might not have survived even before being struck by lightning.

"Alright, let’s eat." Dong Yao said with a laugh, "If we don’t, Qingping and Qing’an will finish the food."

The two eating silently, Ping and An, did not even lift their heads. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Dong Yao chuckled, "It seems that the food made by Fu Dong suits their taste."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes, indeed. The stewed chicken soup is delicious too."

Fu Dong, at the other table, smiled slightly upon hearing these words.

After lunch, Shen Qinglan took a special afternoon nap, and when she got up, it was already the hour of the sheep.

In the courtyard, the little girls were gathered in a group, sunbathing.

Shen Qinglan found it amusing and hurried forward, "Now you realize, it’s just as boring in the village, right?"

"It’s way more fun than in town!" Piao Xue laughed, "Earlier, we went boating on the lake."

"Boating on the lake?" Shen Qinglan stepped forward, raising her eyebrows, "Where did you go boating?"

"Yingyang River," Piao Xue said, "Some people were fishing there, and we borrowed their bamboo rafts for a ride."

"You really are bold," Shen Qinglan frowned, "What if you fell in?"

"We only swam outside, not inside," Si Yun said, "Those people said it’s dangerous inside, with water demons that swallow people."

"You’re not allowed to go next time."

The outside of Yingyang River is fine, but there are undercurrents inside. People in Lishui Village know this, so they rarely let kids play there. Everyone only dares to fetch water or wash clothes at the edges.

The girls scrunched their noses and stuck out their tongues, "We’ll listen to you, miss. We won’t go next time."

"Where’s Fu Dong?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"By the field," Xing Yu said, "The two young masters are catching paddy crabs by the field. She couldn’t persuade them otherwise, so she just watches."

"Qingping and Qing’an went to catch paddy crabs?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Where?"

Piao Xue said, "I know where, miss. Let me take you there!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Lead the way."

"Miss..." Si Yun and Xing Yu, along with A Man, all looked at her pitifully.

Shen Qinglan snickered lightly, "Why are you still standing around? Hurry up and lead the way!"

The three were overjoyed, rushing to the front to lead, "Let’s go then!"

Shen Qinglan followed them, walking along the edge of Yingyang River. After about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw patches of straw, and right then on the ridge, several small wooden buckets were placed. People of all sizes in the field were bending over, hands grabbing at the straw as if searching for something.

When Shen Qinglan and others approached the small wooden buckets, they saw they were filled with paddy crabs, whose legs had already been broken, looking quite plump.

"Miss, Sister Fu Dong is over there." Si Yun pointed to a ridge not far away.

Shen Qinglan looked up and indeed saw Fu Dong staring worriedly into the field. As Shen Qinglan walked, she followed Fu Dong’s gaze, seeing her two brothers also walking along, grabbing at the straw and occasionally reaching down with their hands.

After a while, Chen Qingping grabbed with both hands, lifting up a paddy crab and shouting excitedly, "Qing’an, look, I caught another one!"

Shen Qing’an enviously said, "Brother Qingping is really amazing, I haven’t caught any here."

Chen Qingping chuckled, both hands gripping the paddy crab as he walked out excitedly.

Shen Qinglan smiled and slowly walked over.
