Chapter 22 Zhang is here

Tao Zhen put the things away, and Pei Heng waited with the fishing net. Tao Zhen bought this thing at the flea market for only a few pennies. She thought that since she could catch fish that day, there must be still fish in the river. If there are fish, as long as she can catch them, her net will not be in vain.

The two people took the net to the river. Tao Zhen looked around, found a place where fish was most likely to be found, and cast the net down. Pei Heng was the most excited, squatting in front of the fishing net and staring without blinking.

Tao Zhen was watching from the side. There were a lot of dead branches and withered grass and hay around. She started to pick up these things. Pei Heng also came over and tilted his head and looked at her in surprise. Tao Zhen explained to him: "These grasses can be used as kindling, and these dead branches can be picked up to make fires. These things can be used in winter. Once it snows, it will be difficult to find them if they are covered by snow." "

When Pei Heng heard this, he helped Tao Zhen pick up branches in a sensible way. While picking things up, Tao Zhen told him some interesting things he had heard before. Although Pei Heng still didn't speak, he obviously felt that his mood was much higher.

When it was almost noon, the two of them picked up a lot of branches. Tao Zhen pulled up the fishing net and found that there were indeed more than a dozen fish in it, some big and some small, and one of them was more than a foot long. Pei Heng looked at the fish. Swallowing, he looked at Tao Zhen expectantly.

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make you fish soup and fry the fish when I get back."

The two men threw the net in again, Pei Heng took the fish, and Tao Zhen carried the firewood and returned home together.

As soon as she entered the door, she noticed that something was not right about the atmosphere. Mrs. Pei stood at the door with red eyes and an angry look on her face. She was a gentle woman, so something big must have happened to make her so angry.

"Xiao Heng can find some water and put the fish away, okay?" Tao Zhen said warmly.

Pei Heng nodded and went to the kitchen with the fish in the basin. Tao Zhen dusted off the dirt on his body, walked to Mrs. Pei and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Pei seemed to have just seen Tao Zhen. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She just stared at Pei Zhan's house.

Tao Zhen's heart sank: "What's wrong with Pei Zhan?"

Mrs. Pei looked embarrassed and refused to say anything, so Tao Zhen went to Pei Zhan's house by himself.

Pei Zhan was copying a book, he was calm and relaxed, and he couldn't see anything wrong with him at all. How could he make Mrs. Pei so angry?
Pei Zhan put down his pen and looked her up and down: "Didn't you go fishing? How did you get yourself so disgraced?"

Tao Zhen looked at the teacup on the table, which had not been taken away, and asked, "Who came just now?" Pei Zhan glanced at the teacup on the table, and said very calmly: "Zhang Bituou, you heard that I was injured, so come and see me. "

Tao Zhen frowned.

Maybe she would have believed it before, but Li Hui told her that the reason why Pei Zhan was so scarred was because of Zhang's murder. How could Zhang be so kind as to see Pei Zhan?

However, Tao Zhen didn't think much about it. He just thought that Leader Zhang was here to cause trouble, and that's why he made Mrs. Pei so angry.

I was lucky in the afternoon and caught a few more fish. As soon as Tao Zhen took the net back, he heard Mrs. Pei's voice.

"If you go out, you are not welcome in our home."

Mrs. Pei's voice was stern and full of anger. Tao Zhen had never heard her speak to anyone in such a tone.

There was a man's voice outside, which was extremely lewd: "Madam, don't be angry. I'm here to see Pei Zhan. Is he okay?"

"Azhan is very good. You don't need to see it. Get out of here! Get out of here..."

Mrs. Pei drove people away with a stick.

Tao Zhen walked in and passed by a man. The man looked to be in his thirties, with a fair face. He should have been very handsome, but his eyes were wandering around, showing a bit of evil spirit, which was different from Tao Zhen's. The man had already left when Zhen passed by, but he came back to look at Tao Zhen and asked with a smile: "Are you from this family too?"

Tao Zhen frowned, looked at him unfriendly, and said nothing.

The man smiled, didn't mind, turned around and left.
