Zhulan pursed her lips. She was not afraid of snakes at all and had eaten many snakes. But she was afraid and couldn't let others know. "... I really don't have time. My grandson is too young. So, let Xuemei send the two children here tomorrow. I will help take care of the children. You and Xuemei can go together!"
Jiang Wangshi inexplicably felt the atmosphere of rejection from her in-laws. She laughed dryly and stopped asking questions. She sat for a while and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back too."
Xue Han went out for a while and packed the return gifts. The basket was covered with cloth. Zhu Lan took it and stuffed it into Jiang Wangshi's hand. "It's nothing good, so please don't despise it, in-law."
She smelled snacks. Her daughter must have prepared some snacks and covered them with cloth to prevent them from getting dirty.
Jiang Wang smiled happily, "Then I won't be polite."
She also smelled the fragrance of cake.
Not long after Jiang Wangshi left, the people who went up the mountain came back. Li Shi was carrying a backpack on her back. "Mom, mom, we are lucky today. We caught something good to replenish your body."
Zhulan shuddered, with a bad feeling, "I've been taking too much supplements recently, so I don't want to take any more today."
Li had already taken out the headless snake from the backpack. It was a foot and a half long and coiled up in several circles. "Mom, this is a snake. You loved to eat it before. This is the first time you have caught a snake this year."
Zhulan felt her blood flowing backwards and froze completely, "... ... ..."
The original body had tricked her! She was someone who didn't even dare to eat eels. Fortunately, she had trained well since she was a child, so her face was still expressionless. No one could tell that she was broken. In fact, she was mad and broken inside, and she kept screaming.
Li even held the snake to show off, "Mom, I cut off the snake's head with one stroke. Mom, I'll stew the snake for you at noon."
Zhulan suppressed the urge to scream and burst out, her pupils constricted and she kept smiling. She didn't jump, thankful for the lesson she learned since childhood. She looked at Li Shi who was still courting death with cold eyes. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, steadied herself, but couldn't help it. "Take it aside, it's bloody, look at your clothes, it's all bloody, go change your clothes quickly."
Li's beast-intuitive mother was in a very bad mood, very bad, and ran away quickly with the snake in her hand.
Boss Zhou, “… .”
He always felt that his mother was suppressing her anger and slipped away. It was her own fault and she should bear the consequences herself. Anyway, he flew away first!
Zhulan could no longer see the snake, her blood began to flow back, and she was finally able to move. She turned back to the house with a cold face, quickly closed the door, and made sure that no one would come. She was shaking her hands crazily. Snakes, colorful colors, her mind was full of snakes. She covered her heart, and she would never let Li go!
At lunch, Li really cooked the snake. Zhulan didn't have the courage to sit at the table. She said her stomach was upset and she didn't want to eat. She went back to her room and lay down. She felt frightened and lost her soul. She felt drowsy and wanted to sleep.
Li was anxious, "Boss, what happened to mother?"
Anyway, I didn’t expect it was because of snakes. My mother used to love eating them and she caught many snakes to eat!
Zhou Laoda didn't understand it either, so he asked Zhou Laoer. Zhou Laoer pondered for a while and asked, "Is it because of the lively weather?"
Zhulan controlled her expression very well and always remembered to maintain her original form. She stayed calm even when frightened. The clever Zhou Laoer didn't notice that his mother had become afraid of snakes!
Zhulan was awakened by Zhou Shuren, who already knew what happened. It really couldn't be blamed on Li. Who would have thought that he and Zhulan were wearing the same clothes? Zhulan is very afraid of snakes!
Seeing that Zhou Shuren felt safe, Zhulan grabbed Zhou Shuren's clothes tightly with both hands, "I was scared to death today. A snake was swaying in front of me. I just dreamed of a snake. You called me at night. I must have been scared. My palms were throbbing."
Zhou Shuren picked up Zhulan. Zhulan was still shaking. She was very scared this time. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I will think of a way tomorrow and tell them not to catch snakes anymore."
Zhulan said hurriedly, "No, I have managed to maintain my character with great difficulty, so it is better not to change our habits. We have become shrewd because the original couple did not want to talk. It can be explained that the children were too young to care before, and most of the children are shrewd. The son takes after his father. Our changes are not noticeable, but if we change our living habits again, it will be excessive. Anyway, we will go to Pingzhou soon. In the future, as long as we don't buy snakes, we won't see snakes anymore."
Zhou Shuren felt sorry for Zhulan's pale face, "I'm sorry for that."
Zhu Lan smiled, "My patience is nothing compared to your efforts, but, fear of snakes is a weakness after all, I have to overcome it like my original self."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "You don't have to overcome it, just don't have any contact with her in the future."
Zhulan thought a lot, she still had to overcome it. If Wang Ru wasn't there, she wouldn't be afraid, but she didn't like showing her weakness. She knew Zhou Shuren cared about her, but she was also righteous, so she changed the subject, "Don't worry about me. Let's go to the county government today. Did the county magistrate take a fancy to that boy?"
