Liu Xiaomei also comforted her, saying, "We're all netting fish together, aren't we? Even if you don't catch any big ones, my Third Brother will get plenty. He'll just give you some of his."
'But I like the ones I catch myself!' Juhua thought.
She listened to Liu Sanshun's advice and ran over to Zheng Changhe, telling him to be more thorough. Sure enough, they started catching a lot more.
After the group had been busy in the fields for quite some time, Liu Sanshun called out to Uncle Zheng, saying they should head toward Tiaozi Pond.
Hearing this, Zheng Changhe pulled in his net and called for Juhua to get ready to leave.
Juhua was still bent over, scooping her sieve back and forth under the clumps of grass. She was really just treating it as a game, but on one scoop, she unexpectedly caught something hard and heavy. The weight pulled her arm down, forcing her to quickly use her other hand for support.
