CHAPTER 1046: CHAPTER 1048: FISHING ROD

Hearing Yueniang’s words, Xiaoxiao agreed and went out the door, knowing Yueniang would definitely help clear things up when she woke.

As soon as she stepped out, Yang Ming came up to her, "Wife!"

Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "It’s okay now, the sister-in-law woke up and wanted to say a few words to her husband, so let’s wait a bit."

The two of them stood in the yard waiting, casually chatting with each other.

"Our son has been really good today, sleeping until now. If he woke up, I wouldn’t have been able to take care of him!"

Xiaoxiao’s casual remark made Yang Ming become alert. Could it be that the child is sleeping too long today? He hasn’t even had milk yet!

Could it be the poison in his body acting up, with no time left?

Although he speculated like this, he didn’t mention it fearing his wife would worry, thinking he’d observe more when they got back.

So he said, "Yes, our son is so considerate, he’s worried about you!"

"That’s right, he’s worried about me."

As they were talking and laughing, the brother came out of the house.

He walked up to Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming, scratching his head, looking very embarrassed, "Well, my wife just told me everything."

"I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. You are really good people. If it weren’t for you, my wife and son would have been in danger."

"My wife was having a baby today, but the midwife was scheduled for two days later, and when I went, she was delivering for someone else. I couldn’t find another midwife and had to come back myself. Luckily, I met you two."

"I just treated you like that, I’m really sorry. My wife already scolded me and told me to come and apologize to you."

Seeing the misunderstanding finally cleared up, Yang Ming knew he couldn’t waste any more time and said, "Brother, since the misunderstanding is resolved, we won’t trouble you anymore. To be honest, we have urgent matters to attend to."

"Oh, alright then, I’m really sorry for taking up your time."

"It’s no problem!" Yang Ming said, pulling his wife toward the door.

But the brother seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Wait for me just a moment, just a moment."

With that, he dashed into the house, and after Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming got into the carriage, the brother came running out again.

He had something in his hands, "Brother, thanks to your help this time, I don’t have much to thank you with, but please take this. I made it myself to sell, keep it as a memento."

As he said this, he handed over the item, "By the way, my name is Zhu Dazhuang. What’s yours?"

Yang Ming accepted the item from Zhu Dazhuang and thanked him, "Thank you, brother, I am Yang Ming. If we have the chance to meet again, goodbye!"

Yang Ming handed the item to his wife, then got onto the carriage.

"Goodbye!" Zhu Dazhuang clasped his hands together and saw the carriage off.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiaoxiao looked at what Zhu Dazhuang had given them—wasn’t it a fishing rod?

Zhu Dazhuang’s family actually sells fishing rods, which they don’t have in Shanshi County since there’s no river in the county.

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled. She wondered how things were at the family’s fish pond and whether they had prepared things like fishing rods.

She thought probably not, as they sell fish in bulk, they wouldn’t have the leisure to fish one by one!

Leisure? Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of Angling Garden. She’d take time to study it carefully when she got back!
