Chapter 1428 Bucket filled with fish (2)
Ye Liu snorted. He then turned to look at Yu Mai and said to him, “Go and put this in the water again. Let’s show everyone that we are not doing anything wrong.”
Yu Mai took the bucket from Ye Liu. After catching a bucket full of fish, Yu Mai was much more confident than before. He trotted over the same spot and then placed the bucket in the water, this time he did everything that happened before the bucket was pulled up including pushing Yu Jin’s hands in the water.
Everyone looked at Yu Jin who was dragged and forced to shove his hands in the water and suppressed their laughter. They were tickled by the naive actions of Yu Mai. It was really amusing to see someone so innocent when the world was filled with all sorts of twisted people.
Yu Mai did not know that his actions were being laughed at, he stared at the bucket and carefully counted the numbers in his head just like before, he did not want to miss even a second and count more than before. What if the fish fell in the bucket only at a particular count?
Yu Mai was not the only one who was staring at his bucket, Guo Chengcai was staring at the bucket as well. He was worried that Yu Mai would catch fish again, if that happened then he would have to kneel and call Ye Liu’s daddy. He did not want that to happen!
Thus, he hoped that what happened earlier was just a fluke.
“What’s the point of worrying now?” Madam Yan sneered. She looked at the worried expression of her husband and stated coldly, “I told you not to cause trouble but you just did not listen to me. Now are you happy?”
Guo Chengcai turned his head and glared at Madam Yan. “Am I the one unreasonable? It was him who took it too far!”
Madam Yan snorted. She had a very good idea and took the matter far, there was no need for Guo Chengcai to lie to her!
Seeing that even his wife was not supporting him, Guo Chengcai was very upset. He was now worried that if something went wrong then even his wife would leave him alone and he would have to kneel in front of Ye Liu. He certainly did not want to do that!

‘Dear Heavens, please let it be a fluke!’ Guo Chengcai pleaded to the heavens but his pleas were bound to be rejected as the person standing behind Ye Liu and Yu Mai was none other than Yu Dong.
Even if she did not do anything, her presence in Ye Liu and Yu Mai’s life was enough.
Yu Mai counted to two hundred as taught by Yu Dong and then stood up. He walked over to the bucket and pulled it up. However, as soon as he pulled the bucket the same thing happened as before, he couldn’t get it out of the water!
Seeing Yu Mai having trouble pulling the bucket, Guo Chengcai felt his heart thump. He looked around and then sneaked away, he was not going to kneel in front of Ye Liu whom he hated no matter what!
Ye Liu did not pay attention to Guo Chengcai. In fact, he too was a bit worried that what happened earlier was just a fluke. Thus when he saw that Yu Mai was having trouble pulling the bucket, he immediately walked over and pulled the bucket.
“Humph!” Ye Liu grunted. He couldn’t help but inwardly compare the weight of the bucket, earlier the bucket was a bit light but this time the bucket was too heavy!
Seeing that even Ye Liu was having trouble, Chen Mi walked forward and helped him.
No sooner did the two of them pull the bucket out, than the crowd gasped. What kind of magic was this?
“Look at the fish! It’s so big!” One of the women gasped as she looked at the fish that was flopping on the top of the pile. It was simply too miraculous, this fish was so big and couldn’t even get inside the bucket but somehow it did not swim away and was caught.
Was this fish on a suicidal mission?
How come she skipped the chance to survive and stayed where it got caught?
While some villagers were in awe of the big fish, some were filled with helplessness. Yu Mai had caught such a big fish, could they even win?
“Don’t worry, this will not be counted,” Yu Dong noticed the sulking woman and smiled. She raised her hand and said, “Our family is here just for fun. There is no need for you to count us a competitor,”
Only then did the villagers heave a sigh of relief.
While the villagers were filled with relief, Ye Liu was filled with glee. He turned to look at Guo Chengcai, “Come here Chengcai! It’s time to worship your Daddy!”
However, no sooner did he finish speaking, than a hush fell all over the crowd. They all turned to look at Madam Ma whose face was covered with embarrassment. She cursed her husband who left her behind and ran away and awkwardly smiled at Ye Liu, “I will apologize in his place, Master Ye. Please be magnanimous.”
“Hmph!” Ye Liu snorted when he saw that Guo Chengcai had run away, that mer was really sly. He actually ran away!
What a coward.
Yu Mai on the other hand was happy to catch so many fish. He turned to look at Chen Mi and said to him, “Brother Chen, I want to drink fish soup! Make some for me.”
Chen Mi was amused by his demand. He said, “Sure. With the amount of fish you have caught we can drink fish soup for weeks.” There were more than thirty fish in the bucket and there was also the fish that Yu Mai caught earlier.
With so many fish, they were in for a feast!
