After finishing with the Live Shrimp, Mo Da Ma approached Shi Tian and bowed deeply, startling Shi Tian into jumping back and hiding behind Yi Laotou.
"Little Master, thank you!" Mo Da Ma exclaimed.
Yi Laotou furrowed his brow and turned to glare at Shi Tian, who didn’t seem to have a sentimental demeanor at all. What did that strange look from Yi Laotou mean?
"Master, this has nothing to do with me!" Shi Tian quickly defended himself, realizing something as he spoke. He finally understood why so many people preferred to remain anonymous in their deeds!
Upon hearing Shi Tian call Yi Laotou "Master," Mo Da Ma became excited and rushed over to Yi Laotou, bowing once more.
"Master! You are a talented person. Please help me find out if my daughter is having a granddaughter or a grandson! I come here every day to release Live Shrimp!"
"Release Live Shrimp?" Yi Laotou was intrigued by this, but calculating the gender of a child was another matter entirely!
Whether it was a granddaughter or a grandson, they were still your daughter's flesh and blood! The surprise should only be revealed at the moment it arrives; knowing in advance would make the surprise lose its flavor! After saying this unhelpful remark, Yi Laotou was surrounded by a group of women.
"Master, my daughter is about to get promoted. Can you help me see if she will succeed and where she might meet a benefactor?"
"Master, my son has applied for seven or eight jobs, but every company he joins goes bankrupt. Now no one dares to hire him. Can you tell me where he should apply?"
"Master, my old partner passed away ten years ago. Recently, I've met two old men while dancing in the square. Please help me discern which one is sincere!"
Surrounded by these women, Yi Laotou felt overwhelmed while Sun Lang and Shi Tian quickly grabbed their buckets and made a run for it. This was Yi Laotou's moment of glory; they didn’t want to hinder his performance!
Having navigated the world for so long, Yi Laotou had some experience with such situations. At the very least, he knew how to extricate himself!
"What do you mean? I'm just a fisherman! The one who just ran away was my fishing apprentice; I don’t understand your questions!"
After saying this, the group of women stared blankly at him. This old man with an ethereal aura was merely a fisherman?
"Just a fisherman? Then what was all that talk about surprises?" Mo Da Ma was taken aback by Yi Laotou's words!
No way, there were too many people here; this must be part of the Master’s escape plan! Was it because he wasn’t being paid that he refused to take on this burden?
Before anyone could react further, Yi Laotou lifted his fishing rod; he also intended to make his escape!
But fate had other plans—after fishing all afternoon without a bite, just as he decided to leave, he hooked a fish at that very moment, and it was quite large, causing the reel to screech as it fought against him.
Before he could even start reeling in the line, nearly twenty meters had already been released!
It wasn't easy to make the first move, and just as he had reeled in a few catches, the pressure surged again. Yi Laotou glanced at the group of aunties who showed no signs of leaving, feeling an urge to curse under his breath.
He considered making a run for it, reluctant to abandon the fish on his rod. If he didn’t escape now, once the aunties reacted, he wouldn’t be able to get away at all.
Damn it, he thought, why should I have to deal with a bunch of women!
Reaching the second floor of the Fishing Tackle Shop, Shi Tian and Sun Lang hid behind the window, watching Yi Laotou trapped in a web of chaos. Despite being besieged by a group of aunties, he remained calm while fishing—truly a model for us all!
"Sister Lang," Shi Tian whispered, "if you were in that crowd, how would you handle it?" He handed Sun Lang a cigarette.
Shi Tian wasn’t going to step in; if he did, things would only get messier. Who knows what Mo Da Ma would brag about to those aunties?
It would be ungrateful for Sun Lang to run away—what did this have to do with him? He should be lurking nearby, always ready to protect Yi Laotou!
What could they do? Just push through the crowd and run! After all, on rough terrain like this, he doubted anyone could keep up!
Sun Lang’s thinking was always so straightforward and blunt, yet surprisingly effective!
After saying that, Sun Lang turned to Shi Tian and asked, "What would you do?"
What could he do? Shift the narrative, redirect the conflict, divide the enemy! Let them continue paying for their subscriptions!
Advantages and disadvantages are often just a word apart; sometimes a slight change in perspective can turn the situation completely around!
After casually chatting with Sun Lang, Shi Tian looked out the window again. Yi Laotou was gradually gaining control of the situation—though that control only pertained to the fish on his rod.
"Sister Lang," he urged, "it’s time for you to step up. Hurry over and help my master net those fish."
This had nothing to do with you; if it’s time to net fish, then net fish! If you don’t go now and wait until the fish are caught, do you expect Yi Laotou to guide you and Su Xueyi in the shop?
How much has Su Xueyi invested in that store? She genuinely wants to build something from scratch with you! Can’t you show a little support? Contribute something towards Su Xueyi’s dream?
Before long, Yi Laotou's fish would be coming up. If they didn’t send Sun Lang over now and let the fish get away, how could Yi Laotou let them off easily?
Shi Tian quickly sent Sun Lang back to the Fishing Platform and pulled out his phone to call Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell.
