Why did you provoke me?

The next morning, Yu Hai hadn't left after putting down his bowl when Yu Meng grabbed his clothes.

Yu Hai's eyes lit up. "Little sister, do you want to come with me to the river to catch fish?"

Yu Meng nodded.

"Mom, I'm taking my little sister to the river today." Yu Hai was very happy. His little sister still wanted to go with him.

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on her today, don't let her fall into the river again," Mom said as she picked up the table.

"Okay," Yu Hai said cheerfully.

Yu Hai picked up his fish-catching basket with one hand and held Yu Meng's hand with the other.

"When we get to the river, sit on that rock and I'll catch you a big fish," Yu Hai said as they walked along the shore.

Yu Meng nodded; she was used to not causing trouble for others.

"Haizi, over here!" a little boy standing in the water shouted.

"Here you are. I brought my little sister with me today. Wait a moment." Yu Hai raised the fish basket.

"Why did he bring his little sister again? Last time, when I told my family about it when I got home, I almost got beaten up."

"Let's stay away from his little sister."

"What are you talking about? If Daqiang hadn't insisted on stealing Haizi's fish last time, none of this would have happened," the child standing in the water shouted. "Haizi cherishes his little sister. We'll just watch her for a bit; Xiao Si is very well-behaved."

Yu Meng watched the children chattering away and found it quite amusing. She forgot that she was actually a few years younger than them.

Yu Hai led Yu Meng to a large rock. "Little sister, sit on it and watch me catch fish for you." Yu Meng nodded.

There were several bundles of straw tied with rope in the river, lined up one after another on the bank. Yu Hai put half a steamed bun in his fish basket, then stuffed the basket under the straw.

Five or six people all went into the river and splashed around upstream. It is said that if there are fish, they will go downstream and, if they are lucky, they will enter the fish basket.

Yu Meng rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the river. A group of six- or seven-year-old kids were acting like wild children.

She saw a little girl inside, hands on her hips, shouting loudly. The boys mostly gave in to her.

Yu Meng has excellent eyesight. She saw several fish go into the fish basket, but she wasn't sure if they belonged to her brother.

Yu Meng stood up and walked to the riverbank.

"Hai Zi, your little sister has walked to the riverbank. Go and stop her, don't let her fall into the river!" a boy named Xiao Hui shouted.

Yu Hai looked up and saw Yu Mengzhen standing by the river. He ran over to her as fast as he could, getting his clothes completely soaked.

"Little sister, stand there and don't move, don't fall!" Yu Hai shouted anxiously.

When Yu Hai ran over, Yu Meng pointed to the fish basket.

Yu Hai bent down and lifted the fish basket with both hands.

"Little sister, there's a fish!" Yu Hai grinned foolishly, holding a fish basket. Suddenly, with a splash, a fish jumped into the river, and Yu Hai threw down the basket and went to catch it.

Yu Meng sighed, stomped her right foot lightly on the ground, and the fish in the river floated up, their white bellies turned white.

Yu Hai held the fish tightly in both hands and quickly went ashore.

Looking at the guy who was soaking wet, Yu Meng pouted. "He's really stupid."

"Hai Zi, you caught a fish!" The little boy named Xiao Hui ran over. "You're amazing!"

Yu Hai grinned at the spot.

"Hai Zi, I've been craving fish for so long. Can I have this fish? I'll give it to you when I catch another one." The little girl from the river came over.

Yu Meng watched her come ashore and reached out to grab the fish.

Yu Hai stepped aside slightly. "This fish is for the little sister. If you want it, catch it yourself."

"Hai Zi, why are you so stingy? If Sister Xia wants it, just give it to her," the thin Er Song shouted from the river.

Yu Hai glared at him. "Give her the fish you caught later. I have no objection."

The little girl called Sister Xia glared fiercely at Yu Meng, "Little mute, can you even eat fish?"

All eyes turned to Sister Xia.

"What, did I say something wrong?" Xia Jie raised her little head. Yu Hai clenched his fist angrily, but Xiao Hui grabbed him. "Her sister tested it, and there were five lines."

Yu Hai picked up the fish and put them in his fish basket. Then, holding Yu Meng's hand, they went home.

"You little punk, that's all you've got," Sister Xia shouted from behind.

Yu Meng stopped and turned around. Looking at the little girl called Sister Xia, she stomped her right foot twice on the ground.

Back home, Yu Hai put the fish back into the small tank. Yu Meng went over and pressed the fish with her finger. Sure enough, a fish face floated to the surface again.

Yu Meng picked up the fish face and handed it to Yu Hai. Yu Hai's eyes lit up. He ran into the house, took out a rope, tied the fish face up, and put it in the box.

"My little sister is amazing." Yu Hai gave a thumbs up. "Big sister, let's have some stewed fish for dinner."

Dali stood at the door, "Okay, I'll get it ready in a bit."

The three sisters sat around the table. "Sis, how many lines do you have now?"

"Three. What's wrong?" Dali asked.

"Sister Xia bullied my little sister. She said she was..." Yu Hai looked up, "...her older sister took a test and got five lines. I didn't dare to hit her."

Yu Meng patted Yu Hai's arm and said, "I've already taken my revenge."

Dali patted Yu Hai's head and said, "Big sister, work hard so that she won't dare to bully her little sister in the future."

Yu Hai laughed, "As if everyone doesn't have a formidable older sister."

Yu Hai stood up. "Big sister, you read your book. I'll play with my little sister."

Yu Meng remained seated, shifting the book slightly towards Dali.

"Little sister, would you like to read with me?" Dali asked.

Yu Meng nodded.

"My little sister is the most well-behaved treasure." Dali patted Yu Meng's head and moved her chair a little.

Yu Meng watched as Dali painstakingly searched for the lines. She had already spotted three, but her older sister hadn't found a single one. This level of intelligence was truly worrying.

If she were in that family, she probably wouldn't have lived to this age. Although her eldest sister is only 10 years old now.

As Dali followed the lines and was about to encounter the symbol again, Yu Meng couldn't help but reach out and turn it around for her.

Sure enough, the eldest sister easily absorbed the line into her mind. Dali realized then that her younger sister was truly clever and could understand the lines drawn in the books.

"Little sister, can you understand these lines? Let me tell you, you're still young, you can't memorize these lines, otherwise it will hurt your brain." Dali was very patient.

Yu Meng looked into her mind and indeed, there was a line coiled there. Could this be the reason she was able to come here?

"When you turn six, you can learn these things. This will be something we girls can rely on in the future."

Dali ran her hand over the lines in the book. "Big sister, I just don't have a good memory. It's been four years, and I'm so grateful to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to process these lines at all."
