“Why?”

“How can a couple be good friends? There are few affectionate men in this world, and most of them are ruthless and unfaithful.”

“That’s hard to say. I think my parents are quite good. My mother doesn’t mind my father’s low official status, and my father doesn’t mind my mother’s merchant background. The two of them treat each other with respect,” Xie Ying said. 

“Your parents are rare. Take Taizhou Prefecture for example. How many families don’t take concubines now?” Wei Ruo said.

“Indeed, there aren’t many. I only know that the Prefectural Magistrate doesn’t take concubines, and he probably wouldn’t dare either. The Prefectural Magistrate’s wife was a princess from Prince Huai’s Mansion, and if he dares to take any concubine, the Prince Huai’s Mansion won’t spare the Yuan family.”

“So you’d better be my good sister. I will share with you if I have something delicious. My future husband may not have such luck!” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay! We are good sisters!” Xie Ying looked happy.

After the two sisters talked in private for a while, Xie Ying went back to fishing.

Seeing Lu Yuhong on the opposite side cheating with two fishing rods, Xie Ying wasn’t willing to back down and also had someone prepare an extra fishing rod.

Then no matter who caught the fish, the other would stare at it with wide eyes, afraid that the other person would catch a bigger fish than them.

Lu Yuhong shouted, “No matter what, I can’t lose to a girl.”

Xie Ying was not convinced, “What’s wrong with a girl? Girls are not necessarily weaker than men!”

Lu Yuhong said, “I didn’t say you were weak, it’s just that I shouldn’t be weaker than you.”

Xie Ying said, “There’s no such thing as should or shouldn’t be. Let’s talk about facts. I’m catching more fish than you!”

Lu Yuhong said, “It’s too early to draw a conclusion yet!”

Xie Ying said, “I’m going to catch more! I’m definitely better than you!”

Lu Yuhong said, “Then let’s compete!”

As they spoke, the two of them glared at each other several times.

Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong seemed to be competing with each other, neither of them willing to give in.

Xie Jue had a headache. His sister had never given up since she was a child, and she hated it most when others said that a girl was not good enough.

Lu Yuhong, on the other hand, was straightforward and competitive, and when he was competing, he didn’t think twice about it.

He thought there shouldn’t be any problem since they were on two separate ships, but he didn’t expect them to be able to fight from afar.

Fortunately, they didn’t really quarrel, but just swore at each other.

While Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong were fighting, Wei Ruo grilled the second fish, using the belly of the bighead carp that Xie Ying had caught.

The same method was used; grilling until both sides were golden brown, and then cooking it with the fried spices and side dishes.

Finally, Wei Ruo added black beans to the fish.

This time, Wei Ruo prepared two portions of grilled fish at the same time; one for Xie Ying and Xiumei, and the other for the three people opposite.

After eating these two portions, they were about 70-80% full.

The rest of the fresh fish were kept in wooden barrels. Lu Yuhong originally wanted to give it to Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo politely refused because she was away from home and it was inconvenient. And in the end he entrusted it all to Xie Jue.

As for the results of the competition between Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong, there was no clear winner because the fish caught by the two were of different species, sizes, and quantities.

Finally, Chu Lan became a mediator, “Everyone has their own strengths, there is no winner.”

Since Chu Lan had spoken, Xie Ying and Lu Yuhong naturally could only agree.

Then Wei Ruo and Xie Ying separated from the three, and they returned to the shore first with Chu Lan’s boat.

Chu Lan, who was still on the boat, asked Lu Yuhong, “Brother Yu, are you satisfied this time?”
