80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 119, I’m sorry to share the money

“Well, isn’t this because I am afraid that Anliang will be deceived? After all, there are so many snakes.” Mei Xue said worriedly.

But Anliang was afraid, "Sister-in-law, you won't let me take so many snakes and sell them by myself tomorrow, will you?" He didn't dare.

 Can’t even lift it.

As soon as he heard what he said, An Cheng and others laughed, "I knew you were bragging, so it's okay now. It's embarrassing."

“There are still us, we will go with you.” Anshan said with a smile.

Mei Xue really didn't think about this problem before. She always remembered what An Liang said. They would go to school tomorrow and they could sell it in the town.

But now, "Forget it, I know you are unreliable. An Wen and I will sell it tomorrow. Don't brag next time." Mei Xue glared at An Liang angrily.

 Such a large volume of water made her dizzy just looking at it.

 Every time I come and go, it gets dark.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The four of them were happy. They could still make a profit if they sold just a few, but they really didn't have the ability to sell so many.

After getting on the scale and getting the weight, several people were dumbfounded, "Why is it so heavy?" They didn't know if they didn't weigh it, but they were shocked when they weighed it. One hundred and seventy pounds, how many snakes are there?

Meixue didn’t expect that there would be so many people. “Okay, it’s getting late. Let’s go back. I’ll leave the village with you tomorrow.”

Mei Xue felt a little annoyed. If she had known she would go tomorrow, she shouldn't have ignored those venomous snakes today. The ones she caught were non-venomous, because she was afraid that something would happen to Anliang and the others on the way.

 I’m fine now, sorry.

At five yuan a pound, it’s really not cheap.

 Carrying the bag to the utility room, the four of them left the He family courtyard. They were all very excited, but they also had some plans of their own.

　　No one knows better than them who is the biggest contributor today. Everyone hid something in their heart and quickly returned to their home.

 They need to discuss this with the adults at home.

Meixue also walked into the kitchen, "Grandma, do you know how many kilograms of snakes we caught today?" She couldn't remember the number.

 “How much?” Grandma turned around and asked as the last dish was frying in the pot.

“More than one hundred and seventy kilograms.” Mei Xue gave an astonishing number.

When Grandma He heard this, she was very happy and said, "I'm afraid you will kill all the snakes in this mountain." There are very few snakes in their mountain, unlike the mountains farther away, where there are fewer people and more snakes.

“No, a lot of venomous snakes have been released. Grandma, you have to be careful when going up the mountain. There are also venomous snakes on our mountain.” She saw it with her own eyes.

 “I know, you’re a rookie, grandma has seen him a long time ago.” That’s a lot of understanding for my grandma from the back mountain.

"Grandma, do you know snakes?" Mei Xue was shocked. She could only tell whether the snake was poisonous, but she couldn't name it.

 Because these snakes were completely different from the ones she knew.

“Yes, grandma knows a lot of snakes. Back then...” Thinking of the days when she was still at her parents’ house, Grandma He’s face was filled with smiles.

Of course, Mei Xue knew that her grandma’s father was a hunter, so her skills wouldn’t be much worse if she thought about it.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, your grandpa and the others are gone. Come over and eat." The dishes are out of the pot and the rice has been cooked long ago.

Mei Xue also doesn’t want her grandma to think too much about the past.

Just like grandma said, let it go after it is over. Even if there is a murderer, he would have died long ago. He is still sick.

What she hates most is the heartlessness of her relatives, so no matter how rich she is, she will not use it to help others.

Of course, Anwen doesn't count, because he didn't help himself, but Xiaoxue wanted to help him.

Helping out on small things is just a matter of staying in the village, but on big things, there is no way.

While eating, Mei Xue talked about leaving the village tomorrow.

Grandma He also thought about it. With so many snakes, Xiaoxue would not worry about leaving them all to those children. They still have to go to class.

“There are so many, why don’t we go to the county town? Boss Zhao and the others run restaurants, wouldn’t it be better to sell to them?” Grandma suggested.

When Mei Xue heard this, she said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" She couldn't forget her big customers even if she had good things.

"It just so happens that we go to the county town to see Anze and tell him about the rising water in the village."

 Well, after hearing this, what else does Mei Xue not understand? Grandma misses her grandson.

"good."

“Bring him some more food. The chili sauce from last time is edible, and the pickles are sour. Bring him some. It’s so expensive to eat out.” Bringing it at home saves money.

"Okay, I'll listen to grandma." Mei Xue had no objection, but that man, huh, was useless. It had been almost a month, and she was not pregnant yet.

Mei Xue disliked He Anze very much in her heart. Fortunately, He Anze didn't know, otherwise he would have died.

That night, Mei Xue and her grandma went to bed early because they had to get up early the next day. If they got up too late, Anliang and the others would be delayed from returning to school.

The road up the mountain is different from the one down the mountain. The walk down the mountain only takes more than an hour, but the road up the mountain takes at least three hours, not to mention carrying so many snakes.

 This is also the reason why Mei Xue said she would go by herself.

The first reason was that it was too dark and it was unsafe. The second reason was that she was afraid that they would lose her snake.

That’s money, and it can make grandma count it happily.

 The next day, around three o'clock in the morning, Anliang was ready and came to call the door.

Before he could call anyone, Mei Xue walked out of the kitchen with her grandma, "Here, let's go."

With so many snakes, Mei Xue packed them in baskets so that she would not be tired while carrying them.

 With the addition of some dishes brought to He Anze, the two ends were well balanced.

Last night, the four families all knew how many snakes were caught, and how much effort their sons put in.

 Aunt Mei Lian and Aunt Xi Lian directly asked An Liang and An Wen not to ask for the money.

 An Liang was a waste, and he was too embarrassed to share the money, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

 At the end of the meal, He Zhengcai muttered, "Will Xiaoxue give it to these boys?"

Aunt Xilian was even more prosperous. She said that if Anwen dared to accept Xiaoxue's money, she would break his legs.

This was the first time they had seen Aunt Xilian lose her temper. Anwen had never wanted to share the money. He didn't catch any of the snakes himself, so he was too embarrassed to share the money.

 The same goes for Anshan. He also told her mother about the situation. Aunt Ting meant that she didn’t want the money.

However, An Lin made a few sarcastic remarks on the side, saying that he was working for nothing and that he had the time to cut down two more trees and still get a few cents.

He Zhengting was also jealous, but when he saw the cannibalistic look in his wife's eyes, he shut his mouth.

 Anshan also decided not to divide the money with the consent of the family, mainly because it would be shameless.

 Ancheng’s place is even simpler. Zhang Lanhua was happy after listening to her son’s words: “You still have the nerve to ask for a cent, are you qualified?”

 As a result, An Cheng became autistic.
