Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 713 - 712: Catching Field Crabs (Part 3)

"Ah?" Fu Dong was stunned, "So many, is it still not enough?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "They love catching them, so let them enjoy it."

Fu Dong nodded, "Then we maids will take this bucket back first."

"Alright." Shen Qinglan nodded, "Go ahead."

The two responded with a ’yes’ and then left, carrying the bucket full of field crabs.

Shen Qinglan said, "Let’s rest for a while; we’ll continue catching when they return."

Saying this, she brought Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an up, while A Man and the others casually found a place to sit down.

Shen Qing’an said, "If we don’t catch them soon, they’ll start hibernating."

"You know they’ll hibernate?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course!" Shen Qing’an said, "It’s written in books."

Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Telling you to read more books was definitely right."

The two replied with a chuckle.

Piao Xue giggled and said, "The countryside is truly the most fun!"

"I feel the same!" A Man said, "Being in the town is stifling me."

Shen Qinglan looked at her and said, "Have you visited your young mistress?"

A Man shook her head, "I haven’t gone yet."

Shen Qinglan said, "Then catch more field crabs, and later, take some to her."

A Man’s eyes lit up, "You’re right, young mistress; I will catch more and bring some to our young lady later."

Shen Qinglan nodded with a smile.

When Fu Dong and Xing Yu returned, two full hours had passed.

Among them, A Man was the quickest and caught the most.

The villagers couldn’t resist watching; she was far more skilled than them.

In just a while, the basket was already half full.

Shen Qinglan half-squatted in front of the basket, working with Xing Yu to stop the field crabs from crawling out.

When the big basket was full, the clouds in the sky were already dyed with the glow of the sunset.

The other villagers were also looking for places to wash their hands and feet, and picking up things to head home.

"So tired!"

Piao Xue lay half on the ridge, weakly calling out.

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Have you had enough fun now?"

"Yes, yes!" Piao Xue nodded weakly.

Si Yun wasn’t much better, leaning weakly against A Man.

On the contrary, Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an, who came earliest, were still bouncing around, full of energy.

Shen Qinglan carried the basket by herself, walking ahead, "Let’s go back and steam the field crabs."

Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an laughed and ran after her.

Fu Dong helped Piao Xue, while A Man and Xing Yu supported Si Yun, stepping carefully behind the Shen siblings.

"Oh wow, Third Miss has some strength, hasn’t she? This basket of crabs must be pretty heavy?" An old man asked with a smile.

Shen Qinglan weighed it with her hands and replied, "Not very heavy."

The old man said, "I find that half basket heavy enough; I must be getting old."

Shen Qingping said, "Grandpa Zhang, Qing’an and I will help you carry it."

"No, no," the old man laughed, "Grandpa Zhang can carry it."

"We’ll help you carry it!"

Shen Qing’an and Shen Qingping each took a side and quickly walked ahead.

Shen Qinglan smiled and reminded, "Be careful not to drop Grandpa Zhang’s field crabs."

The old man laughed heartily, "As long as we’re okay, we can always catch the crabs again."

The group joked and walked back, just halfway along, they saw a young man coming towards them.

Seeing the newcomer, Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow; isn’t this one of Sun He’s lackeys she saw before?
