Chapter 25 What conditions can I raise now?

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of officials surrounding Peng Wang and asking about his well-being.

Peng Wang was still a little weak at the moment, but it did not stop him from talking.

"Zhou Lao Ba, what's wrong with me?"

"Boss, you've been poisoned by a snake."

Upon hearing this, Peng Wang carefully recalled his condition before he fell into a coma.

The first thing he felt was a slight numbness on his calf where he was bitten by the poisonous snake, and the numbness gradually spread.

Later, he felt a little breathless, and then he knew nothing.

"I was poisoned by a snake but didn't die?"

In order to prove that all this was true, Peng Wang pinched his face.

Only after he was sure of the pain did he believe it.

Zhang Qing stepped forward: "Boss, you are really not dead."

"Who helped me detoxify?" Peng Wang looked around and confirmed that he was still in this wilderness. Where did these people find a doctor?

Zhou Laoba pointed in the direction of the Mo family: "That's Mo Jiuye's new wife He Zhiran."

Speaking of He Zhiran, the image of her reminding him appeared in Peng Wang's mind.

Thinking of this, Peng Wang felt a little ashamed.

When people kindly reminded him, he scolded them.

He glanced around and finally set his sights on several large bags brought from the capital.

"Old Eight, go give each member of the Mo family two white flour buns. Also, ask them if they have any other requests. As long as they are not excessive, try to satisfy them."

Zhou Laoba knew that Peng Wang was a grateful person.

It is also clear that he did this because he did not want to owe the Mo family a favor. After all, the road ahead is still long, and it is their duty to be too kind to those prisoners.

Seeing Zhou Laoba coming over with a bag from afar, the women of the Mo family became a little nervous.

Zhou Laoba placed the bag in front of everyone.

"Our boss said that we'll give each of you two white flour buns."

When they heard that there were white flour buns, the Mo family members swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

They were so hungry.

Despite this, everyone tacitly remained motionless, their eyes unconsciously looking towards He Zhiran.

He Zhiran was also hungry, but her willpower was stronger than others.

She didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Laoba, knowing that he would have something to say next.

"Our boss said that He saved his life, so you can make any demands now."

When they heard that they could put forward conditions, the eyes of the Mohist women lit up.

Does this mean that their lives will be better in the future?

He Zhiran didn't expect that Peng Wang would take the initiative to ask her to propose conditions.

She also thought of a possibility, that is, Peng Wang wanted to repay the favor of saving his life once and for all, and then continue as usual in the future.

In this case, she must seize this opportunity.

Although He Zhiran already had a plan in mind, she still looked at Madam Mo.

No matter what you do, don't go beyond your elders.

He Zhiran's behavior once again won the favor of Mrs. Mo, and at the same time, she became more convinced of her daughter-in-law.

"You saved this person, so you decide what conditions you want. Just don't be greedy."

Old Madam Mo knew that her daughter-in-law was a very intelligent person and would be more thoughtful than she thought when doing things. She just needed to give her a little reminder.

Since that was the case, He Zhiran didn't plan to be polite anymore.

At the same time, she also agreed very much with what Mrs. Mo said, that one should not be greedy and should leave some room for the future.

"Sir, we don't ask for much. We just hope that when we pass by the next county, you can allow us to purchase some items."

He Zhiran felt that this condition was sufficient for the time being.

She had plenty of money, so she just needed to buy some more daily necessities, and everything else would be easy.

Zhou Laoba couldn't believe it. He asked He Zhiran to propose conditions, but she only made such a small request.

There is no need to report this matter to Peng Wang, he can make the decision.

"No problem, I promise you this. We will pass by Yunlai County at noon tomorrow. We will resupply there, and I will send someone to accompany you to purchase supplies."

"Okay, thank you, sir." The other party agreed to the conditions proposed, but He Zhiran did not show much excitement and replied lightly.

"Don't you have any other requests?" Zhou Laoba was not in a hurry to leave.

He Zhiran had no intention of being greedy, but looking at Zhou Laoba's expression, he seemed to feel that the conditions he proposed were not enough.

"Since the official told me to, I still want the snake I killed today."

Zhou Laoba frowned: "You are a woman, what do you want that thing for?"

"Many parts of a snake can be used as medicine." He Zhiran answered evasively. She couldn't tell others that she was going to make poison.

"I promise you this, too."

Seeing that Zhou Laoba was straightforward, He Zhiran didn't plan to delay him any further.

"I have stated all my conditions."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the boss."

In Zhou Laoba's heart, He Zhiran saved Peng Wang's life, so it was really a loss for him to get just this little thing.

After returning to report the matter to Peng Wang, he took the initiative to take a few water bags and the silver ring snake back.

"These water bags were intended to be sold to exiled prisoners. Seeing that they don't have much money, they probably can't afford them, so I'm just giving them to you.

We still have some white flour buns, but it's hot now and they'll go bad if you don't finish them. I'll give you some more tomorrow morning."

After throwing the water bag and the silver ring snake in front of He Zhiran, Zhou Laoba turned and left.

He Zhiran quickly distributed two steamed buns to each person.

Although the white flour buns were not bad, they had no vegetables at all and were so dry that they were hard to swallow.

He Zhiran had an idea and her eyes fell on the package He Yuanming gave her.

She hadn't had the chance to open the package to check, which meant that no one knew what was inside.

He Zhiran put one hand into the package, but his consciousness entered the space.

There was her newly bought braised beef in soy sauce, already cut and placed in the refrigerator.

The braised beef was packaged in a plastic bag and definitely couldn't be taken out and seen by others. She couldn't find the oil paper that was common in that era.

In desperation, He Zhiran had to grab a handful of braised beef with his hands.

During this special period, being too particular is just hypocritical. As long as we can eat better, what does it matter whether it is hygienic or not?

"Mom, sisters-in-law, and little sister, this is the braised beef with soy sauce that my parents sent me today. You can eat it with the steamed buns."

When everyone saw He Zhiran holding a handful of braised beef in soy sauce, their eyes lit up.

However, the rules they learned from childhood tell them that women cannot eat so roughly, especially by eating directly with their hands.

Just when everyone was struggling, Mrs. Mo spoke.

"It's time to let go of our rules."

Madam Mo is a person with a clear mind. She is the first to face the reality. When she said this, she was also trying to accept everything.

After all, they are no longer the ladies of wealthy families.
