The girl’s expression was serious. He placed his hands on his hips and looked menacing.

“Chen Dashan!”

Chen Dashan was shocked by her shout. When he saw her, he could not help but feel a little afraid.

It was strange. Su Ling was as thin as a bean sprout and wasn’t tall, but he was very afraid of her.

He thought that with so many people watching behind him, he could not lose in terms of aura, so he raised his voice as well.

“What are you doing!”

Su Ling walked forward and pushed him hard. He was caught off guard and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, someone supported him.

He was anxious and angry. He pointed at her and shouted questions.

“Why are you pushing me again? You’re being unreasonable!”

Su Ling looked into his eyes fearlessly.

“I told you before, don’t mess with my family.”

When Chen Dashan heard her words, he instantly became even angrier.

“Su Ling, aren’t you ashamed? He’s not from your family!”

Su Ling went down the river.

“Zhao Yan is living in my house now. He’s my family. Don’t bully him, or I’ll push you.”

The little girl’s tone was light, but it was full of threat. Chen Dashan’s face alternated between green and white, and he could not say a complete sentence for a long time.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he felt that it was too embarrassing.

Hence, he turned around and spoke loudly to her.

“We’ll see. I’ll definitely be back!”

The girl only shrugged at that, not even looking at him.

Chen Dashan’s face was filled with anger and embarrassment. In the end, he fled.

As soon as he left, his lackeys also left. For a moment, only Su Ling and Zhao Yan were left by the river.

Su Ling looked at the wooden bucket that Zhao Yan had brought. There was nothing inside.

Now she knew why he had not let her come with him. He was embarrassed.

However, she was a very magnanimous and understanding young lady.

She could not help but pat him on the back as he stood up straight.

“That’s not how you catch fish. You have to bend down a little and attack when you see it. Fish swim very quickly and can easily slip away.”

Zhao Yan nodded as if he understood. Then, he bent his back a little as she said and stared intently at the fish swimming back and forth in the small river.

He did not say a word, and his expression was very serious. Su Ling looked at him from the side and was quiet.

Finally, the young man quickly reached out and fished into the river. A medium-sized trout struggled desperately in his hand.

Su Ling became excited and hurriedly urged, “Quick, put it in the bucket!”

Zhao Yan was also very happy at this moment. A rare look of joy appeared on his face.

Wang Cuizhi watched from the side for a while before leaving quietly.

With Su Ling around, he would not be bullied.

He would be protected by such a little bundle. She had not expected that.

But wasn’t all this a good sign? She thought to herself. She planned to go back quickly and make new clothes for them.

In the following time, under Su Ling’s guidance, Zhao Yan caught three to four fish. Although they were not big, they were enough to make him happy for a long time.

Seeing that it was noon, Su Ling urged him to go back.

“We should go back. Otherwise, Father, Mother, and Auntie will be worried.”

Zhao Yan nodded in agreement. He looked at the fish swimming happily in the bucket and was delighted.

He had never done anything like this before. In the past, he had always been urged to read and write. He had never been so close to nature.

So catching fish was such a joyous activity, he thought.
