<h4>Chapter 281: Going Down the River to Fish, A Viger’s Objection</h4>


    When the vige head, Li Yue, heard the vigers’ discussion, he had originally wanted the vigers to not say such things about the Guan family. After all, it was Guan Chibei who had saved the entire vige when the wild beasts came down the mountain.


    However, the discussion in the vige was too intense. Some people had already said that since the Guan family had earned money, they wanted others in the vige to praise and curry favor with them.


    Li Yue, the vige head, was about to say something when he heard such words. He shut his mouth and fell silent. The matters in the vige could only be left to the Guan family.


    After Ye Lulu set up the stall, the fish at home were consumed very quickly. The pond was almost empty. This morning, Guan Chibei could only continue to fish by the river.


    He brought thergest basket because if he fished enough at once, he didn’t need to go to the river every day.


    It was just spring now and it was still cold. Although the river had thawed, the river water was still very cold. There were even some broken pieces of ice floating in it from time to time. One would shiver in the river.


    However, Guan Chibei was unaware of this. He moved down the river calmly and stood in the river to fish.


    There were many hungry fishes in spring. Guan Chibei ced some fish food at the bottom of the bamboo basket. When the fishes in the river smelled the fragrance of food, they immediately swarmed over.


    There were simply too many fish with ck backs in the river. In the entire spring, who knew how many fish had grown at the bottom of the river under the ice? The tails were lively and strong, but they were hungry. They rushed into the bamboo basket.


    Guan Chibei did not need to do anything. As long as his arm strength and speed were sufficient and he suddenly pulled the bamboo basket out of the water, the fish would not have time to run out before they were trapped inside.


    The bamboo basket was handmade. There was a gap, and the river water inside was still flowing out.


    In the end, there was only a basket of fish left.


    Simrly, there were also grass carps and ck fish. There were different kinds of fish, and they were all jumping around in the bamboo basket. Guan Chibei calmly poured the basket of fish into the wooden barrel. On the shore, Damao, who was also leading arge group of children from the Guan family, carried the wooden barrel away so that they could ce them in the pond to rear.


    Guan Chibei lowered his eyes and started to scoop up a second basket of fish.


    It had just been winter and there were too many fish in the river. Guan Chibei stood in the river, surrounded by fish. The bamboo basket in his hand was filled with fish with ck backs.


    Just as Guan Chibei was fishing, a viger passed by and saw Guan Chibei standing in the river with fish all around him.


    That viger was the type who was jealous of the Guan family. He immediately narrowed his eyes and said to Guan Chibei, who was in the river below:


    “Guan Chibei? You fished away so many fish in the river? Don’t you know that this river belongs to the vige? It’s shared among the vigers. You took away so many fish. That’s equivalent to taking away the fish in the vige. That’s not appropriate, right?!”


    This viger was considered a famous person in the vige who was a little shameless. He was not good at other things but was especially good at attracting attention. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Guan Chibei with ill intentions. This viger then said:


    “Logically speaking, the river is shared by the vige. Everyone in the vige naturally has a share of the fish in the river. Now that you’ve scooped up so many fish by yourself, aren’t you taking away everyone’s fish?!”


    “Guan Chibei, your Guan family has already set up a stall to do business. You’ve earned a lot of money, so it’s not reasonable for you to take the vigers’ things for free, right?”


    This person raised his voice and shouted, immediately attracting the nearby vigers over. This was because the Guan family had been the focus of attention in the vige recently.


    Many vigers immediately came over and saw Guan Chibei in the river. The basket in front of him was filled with energetic fish. They were tempted.


    Upon hearing that viger’s words, a viger echoed, “Guan Chibei, you caught so many fish in the river?”


    “Didn’t you say that you would go to the city to do business and earn big money? Why would you fish from the river in the vige? You don’t have the capital to buy them, right? Hehe.”


    “It’s such a big basket and it’s filled to the brim. Your Guan family is too much. If you scoop up all the fish in the vige river, wouldn’t you take up everyone else’s share? We won’t have any more fish to catch.”


    “The Guan family is really shameless. You’re fishing to use them and make food to sell for money. How heartless! You’re selling the fish from the vige to earn money for yourself? How is that reasonable?!”


    “It’s true. I only came back to my senses after you said that. How can the Guan family be like this? They go to the city to earn money and bewless. Indeed, they don’t take the vigers seriously anymore. They even dare to do such a thing!”


    “That’s right! That’s right! We can’t allow this!”


    “In any case, I don’t agree! The river belongs to the vige, and we have a share in this fish. I don’t agree!”


    “Me neither!”


    As the vigers spoke, their expressions turned ugly. They stood by the river with a fire burning in their eyes and looked at Guan Chibei like enemies.


    Everyone’s words turned into protests as they shouted at Guan Chibei. Another person said, “Guan Chibei, there’s no such thing as a free meal in the world. Your Guan family fished up so many fish in the river. You should treat it as you’re buying the fish from the river and give the vigers money.”


    Actually, these words were very unreasonable. After all, one had to make use of local resources. All the vigers took the things from the river or the mountain for free. Whoever took more or less depended on their own ability. Otherwise, how could they be calctive?!


    What was there to be calctive about? Were people not allowed to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms?


    However, the vigers felt that Guan Chibei, or rather, the Guan family, had gone out to do business to earn so much money. Now that they had caught so many fish, they had to pay the price.


    “Yes!”


    “Otherwise, you can put all the fish back. How can we let you fish so much for nothing? Take them out to do business and your Guan family will take the money earned?”


    “That’s right. If you must fish, your Guan family can give some of the money earned from the fish to us.”


    “That’s right!”


    “Yes!”


    Themotion attracted more vigers over. Soon, arge group of vigers gathered by the river.


    The viger’s eyes lit up and they immediately agreed. A woman’s eyes almost shed as she looked at Guan Chibei, who was still standing in the river.


    “Your Guan family went out to earn so much money. It’s fine to share some with the vigers, right? You can’t be so stingy, right? You can fish from the river in the vige and sell them!”


    Seeing that the vigers were unhappy and were protesting, they were just short of causing a ruckus to the vige head and asking the Guan family to make a serious promise to guarantee that they would use the money to buy ‘the vige’s fish.’


    He looked up and met the greedy eyes of the vigers by the river. Guan Chibei was surrounded in the middle. He did not panic and his expression did not change.
