Chapter 2026 - 2026: 2026

"Little sister-in-law?"

Liu Zhizhong was briefly stunned, then immediately understood, but pretended not to, acting surprised, "Huh? Uncle Ye, you have a younger daughter? Hehe..."

Ye Tianming deliberately put on a stern face and pointed at Liu Zhizhong's nose, "You punk, are you pretending not to know even though you do? Bingyu didn't tell you?"

"No, she didn't! How should I know anything about a sister-in-law? Bingyu didn't mention a thing!"

Liu Zhizhong's expression was so innocent, so pure, so pure.

Ye Tianming was puzzled, "Are you truly unaware or just pretending?"

"Uncle Ye, you never mentioned it, so how would I know? Ms. Bingyu truly didn't talk about any sister-in-law! Although I do know my brother-in-law is quite smart and adorable, hehe..."

When his son was mentioned, Ye Tianming's face lit up with more smiles, "You can have a brother-in-law, and I can have a son; I have you to thank for that, haha... If it weren't for work, I'd genuinely want to bring your Mom and your brother-in-law over to gather with you this time. Of course, for the sake of your identity's secrecy, I can't do that."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Ye. Could you tell me about my sister-in-law?"

Of course, he knew the sister-in-law being mentioned wasn't Lao Yongli's daughter, Lao Shishi. Ah, he hadn't seen Lao Shishi for a long time; he missed her.

Ye Tianming calmly said, "Isn't it that person from Australia? The one Bingbing took the big drive 866 to pick up. They said they wanted to restock with you in Valle, but you guys rejected it. Your father-in-law was quite upset about it."

"Huh?" Liu Zhizhong feigned shock, then instantly understood, "Oh... so it's her? Haha... got it, got it..."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, not elaborating further.

Ye Tianming took a deep breath, "Bingyu really didn't tell you about this?"

"Haha, she might have wanted to, but I didn't want to know. But today, I found out, sigh..."

Liu Zhizhong smiled helplessly, sighed, and added, "This matter, it's quite big. I knew it would be significant, but I didn't expect it to be this big. Of course, I don't love gossip, you could say it's disinterest! Because I know my motherland very well, right?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes, you understand it well, and so do I. This incident has exhausted us mentally and physically. Your father-in-law was furious, and your mother-in-law was mad too. I heard they even came to blows in the hospital, haha... she even scratched his face terribly..."

Liu Zhizhong, hearing this, was utterly surprised, feeling the mother-in-law must be a fierce woman!

But what else could it be?

For a man to reach the position of a father-in-law, could he not have a few kids or stories on the side?

The mother-in-law being so fierce is just her personality, venting some inner dissatisfaction, which is perfectly reasonable, haha...

Liu Zhizhong even felt like laughing; the father-in-law with a scuffed face probably wouldn't be appearing in photos for a while?

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong could only laugh awkwardly, shrug, and nod, "This... this... this mother-in-law surely has a strong hand!"

"Women, you know, it's a normal reaction. And all of this was because of the Iron Fist issue, as you said, a problem with system building."

Liu Zhizhong smiled, just about to say something when Ye Bingyu's voice came over the yacht's intercom.

"Dad, Zhizhong, dinner time is ready!"

Ye Tianming didn't say more, patting Liu Zhizhong on the shoulder, "Let's not talk about this annoying stuff. Come on, let's eat and then go night fishing. We'll catch our fish first, and deal with future matters later! Do well here, retire early, and continue fishing with me."

"Hahaha... sure..."

Clearly, it was a pleasant dinner, and Ye Bingyu's cooking skills were quite impressive.

The three people eating had delightfully good moods.

A bit of wine, chatting about the past and present, looking forward to the future, how wonderful?

On a golden autumn night in the Wale Republic, with a bright moon and stars, a gentle river breeze, the whole atmosphere was accentuated beautifully.

After dinner, Ye Bingyu, like a good wife and loving mother, tidied up the dining table.

While Liu Zhizhong and Ye Tianming prepared to start fishing.

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong's yacht was already moored.

The yacht's mooring spot was upstream on the Kachin River, away from the city's outskirts, yet still on the main shipping route.

That place was at the downstream of a shallower dam in the upper Kachin River, a huge eddy of deep water.

At this moment, on both sides of the bay, there were a few sporadic night fishermen, with lights faintly visible.

The Wale Republic, a paradise for tourists, is equally a paradise for fishermen, there's no fault in that.

The reasonable and legitimate management, development, and utilization of fishery resources increased international recognition and realized economic benefits. Everything is in a virtuous cycle, isn't this good?

Many fishing enthusiasts around the world love to go to the Wale Republic, generating significant economic value.

You think, how many people going abroad for fishing are short on money? What they lack is the feeling, that full harvest feeling!

Precisely, Valle can satisfy those feelings, haha...

At this moment, even Ye Tianming registered for a freshwater fishing number, dutifully paid the annual fee, and fully cooperated with the process.

As the fishing began, Liu Zhizhong logged the two's fishing numbers into the management app and registered their location.

This management is very advanced.

When the two had found the water depths and prepared their setup, just waiting for a catch, a drone had flown over following the positioning, the inspection could be considered done.

They weren't in violation, using hand rods, with each person allowed two rods, each with a single line and double hooks.

The results of the inspection were also sent to their registered account information promptly.

This advanced management was something Ye Tianming greatly admired in his son-in-law, saying that only through such reasonable and effective management could fishermen always have fish to catch and more rewarding experiences!

He also asked Liu Zhizhong if Valle's fishing had developed so well, should they host a world-class fishing contest like they did in the Shaobi Autonomous County before?

While waiting for a catch, Liu Zhizhong naturally had time to answer the question, explaining that during next summer's global seasonal holiday, which is one of Valle's peak tourism periods, they plan to prepare for the first international competition, asking if Uncle Ye wanted to participate?

Ye Tianming, with a straight face, "You guy, still calling me Uncle Ye?"

"Uh... Father Ye, Father Ye, hehe..."

"Aye, aye, aye, that's more like it, haha..."

Both laughed for a bit before they noticed fish bubbles rising from the setup.

Liu Zhizhong immediately said, "Father Ye, the fish have entered the setup. Come on, cast the first rod full of hope! Old rules, long rod for big catch, short rod for the feel!"

"Alright! Let's have a competition tonight, us two guys, heh..."
