Chapter 1690 - 614: The Reverse Female Lead (Part 3)_2

The adults, on the other hand, don’t go much anymore.

He Youliang was forced with no other options. He thought, even if there were no big fish, he could catch some small fish to make fish soup for his wife, which might help with her milk supply.

But, to He Youliang’s surprise, he casually swirled a bamboo basket in the river and caught two or three big fish, each weighing one or two pounds.

This was because his bamboo basket was too small and too worn out. If it were larger, perhaps he could catch even more fish.

Inexplicably, He Youliang just had this feeling.

Returning home happily, He Youliang handed the fish to Lady Li.

Lady Li:...

What’s going on, the second son in our family is the most honest.

Ahem, calling him honest sounds nice, but actually, he’s pretty inept.

Other than working hard in farming, the second son can’t do anything else.

Fishing?

He’s even worse at that.

Yet now, the second son ran home with three big fish.

Could it be that the second son has become enlightened?

Suddenly turned clever?

While Lady Li was lost in thoughts, He Youliang rubbed his hands, nervously trying to discuss with his mother, "Mom, Da Ya’s mother has low milk supply, Erya is crying from hunger—"

"You see, I caught three fish, two for the family to eat, and the remaining one can be used to make fish soup for Da Ya’s mother to improve her milk supply!"

Lady Li was surprised and stared blankly as she asked: "What did you say?"

Her question was purely driven by a flash of suspicion in her mind, she wanted to verify it.

Honest He Youliang misunderstood, thinking his mom disagreed.

He pulled a sad face and almost pleaded, "Mom, I know you’re not happy that Da Ya’s mom gave birth to another daughter. But Erya is my own child; she’s already born, we can’t let her starve to death!"

Besides, these fish were caught by him from the river, without spending a single cent from the family budget.

He hadn’t planned to keep all of them for his wife to eat, just one fish, that’s not too much to ask.

He Youliang felt a bit wronged deep inside.

But Lady Li grasped the key point—there’s no milk for the second son’s family, the child is hungry, and that’s why the second son went fishing, successfully catching big fish.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her head—could it be that this little girl has a special destiny, and is lucky?

Even God couldn’t bear to see her starve, hence—

Just as Lady Li conjured up these thoughts, she shook her head vigorously.

Ridiculous!

Absurd!

How is that possible!

If this child truly had blessings, she should have been born into a wealthy family, growing up in luxury.

Why was she born into their poor farming family like the He Family?

He Tiantian:... This rant makes so much sense! Authors who write lucky fish pampered stories, what were you thinking?!

Lady Li might have doubts, but the fact that He Youliang managed to catch fish is indeed bizarre.

Lady Li decided to test it out some more.

She deliberately said towards the second son’s house, "Who said I would starve Erya? Fish soup does help with milk supply, but it’s not rich and oily!"

"Hey, second son, why don’t you go up the mountain to catch a rabbit or wild bird or something, I’ll help nourish your wife a bit more!"

He Youliang’s eyes widened, he didn’t speak, but his shocked expression seemed to say:

Oh dear mother, you truly have high expectations for your second son!

I, a mere farmer, and you want me to go hunting rabbits in the mountains!

Let me tell you, hunting is a skill, and He Youliang honestly can’t do it!

Still, a mother’s word is law, and He Youliang sincerely cares for his wife and daughter.

After giving it some thought, he grits his teeth and still climbs the mountain.

However, upon reaching the mountain, He Youliang was flummoxed.

He didn’t have a bow and arrow, what would he use to hunt?

Should he use the sickle he was holding?

Heck, if he had that skill, he would have become a hunter long ago.

Relying on the sickle in his hand, he might as well sit under a big tree and wait for some dumb rabbit to deliver itself to him.

This fantastical idea had just flashed through He Youliang’s mind.

And then he was startled to see a plump rabbit rushing over and crashing into the big tree beside him, dying on impact.

He Youliang:...

At this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder: Am I God’s illegitimate child? Why does everything I think come true?!

He Youliang was in a dream-like state, carrying the rabbit as he floatily descended the mountain, returning to the He Family.

Lady Li:...

She was even more shocked.

Her heart was pounding, her face flushed with excitement.

Nonetheless, Lady Li dared not fully believe it, because it was too incredible.

She cooked fish soup for her second daughter-in-law, and also prepared rabbit meat. The second daughter-in-law ate fearfully, uneasily breastfeeding the child in front of her mother-in-law.
