Chapter 5 Conflicts Caused by Snake Meat

When she was going down the mountain, she happened to meet someone who was going home from work to cook. Several villagers opened their mouths wide when they saw her fruitful harvest.

"Who is this, gathering so much firewood?"

"Mom, isn't that Song Zhiqing?"

Seeing that it was Song Wei, Aunt Ma, who felt she was already very familiar with her, rushed over immediately.

"Song Zhiqing, why did you carry so much firewood? Don't you think it's too heavy? You just came out of the hospital, so don't go back in."

My goodness, Song Wei is a thin little girl with such a thin waist and arms. She was really afraid that the firewood would crush her.

Song Wei also saw them and raised one hand to greet them.

"Auntie Ma, I'm fine. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go for a walk in the mountains. I heard it's very cold here in the winter, so I need to prepare some dry firewood."

"Yes, we here stay indoors in the winter and dare not come out. The room of your new educated youth has not yet been built with a kang. You must build that kang, otherwise it will be hard to endure the winter. It's right to prepare more firewood."

But... I brought too much this time.

My goodness, I never realized that Song Zhiqing had such a big heart even though he looked at a delicate little girl.

"Thank you, Auntie Ma. There are some things I really don't know, so I have to trouble you. Who in our village knows how to make a kang? And I just came here to buy some things. Is there anyone in our village who can make cabinets?"

"Of course there is. Your uncle knows how to build a kang for my man. Although we have a good relationship with Mr. Song, the adobe bricks for building a kang cost money."

She leaned closer and spoke to Song Wei in a low voice.

Song Wei gave her a look that said 'I understand'.

"Don't worry, auntie. I can't cook a full meal for you. I just arrived in the countryside and have nothing. I'll exchange it all for money. I'll trouble you to get the materials for the kang."

"That's no problem. After lunch today, I'll ask your uncle to help you. As for the cabinet, there's a carpenter in the village. When you need it, come and ask my aunt to take you there."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

After the discussion, Song Wei continued to walk towards the educated youth point carrying the firewood on her back. Aunt Ma behind her kept shouting at her to slow down.

As soon as she entered the Youth League Home, all the Youth League who had just finished their work were shocked and their eyes widened.

Song Wei's appearance was really too deceptive. She looked like a sickly and delicate girl. The scene of her carrying so much firewood was too great a visual impact on them.

Li Juan: "Song Wei, why did you pick up so much firewood?"

She hurried forward to help, but as soon as she started to carry it, she realized it was too heavy, so she carried it down the mountain.

And he was holding onto such a thick tree.

Li Juan was so impressed that she couldn't even carry the whole basket.

Song Zhiqing is a person you can’t judge by appearance.

"When you woke up, you all went to work. I had nothing to do so I went to the mountain to pick up some."

Liu Linlin said sarcastically: "Isn't this a patient? How come you look more energetic than the rest of us? You pretend to be sick and don't go to work, but run around everywhere. Do you deserve the trust that everyone has in you?"

Song Wei broke a wooden stick as thick as an arm with a snap and looked at her with cold eyes.

"Don't make me slap you when I'm having fun."

Liu Linlin was still afraid of being beaten, so she didn't dare to force it even though she felt aggrieved under the threat of her eyes.

Li Juan: "It's not the busy farming season now. The leave was given by the team leader. Song Wei went to the mountains to collect firewood. There is no reason for this."

Although things in the mountains are collective public property, unless you encounter a large wild animal, such as a wild boar, it must be distributed among the whole village. Other things belong to whoever picks them up.

As long as the pheasants and rabbits are not too excessive, everyone will turn a blind eye. If someone really reports such things, that person will definitely be ostracized by everyone.

So Liu Linlin only dared to talk about it.

Song Wei piled the firewood in front of her room door, and then everyone saw the other things in her backpack.

The bad thing about the Youth League Home is that we all go to the mountains together to do something and there are basically no secrets.

"Wow, Song Wei, where did you find so many wild kiwis? This one is so sweet."

Li Juan has been working in the countryside for three years and is now familiar with the things in the mountains.

“This is so sweet.”

Song Wei generously gave her some, but didn't give any to others.

She was still quite protective of her food, but now that there were plenty of supplies in the mountains, she was willing to be more generous with those she had good relationships with.

Why should she give the things she worked so hard to get to others whom she doesn’t know or has a bad relationship with?

"What's that under you?"

But there were some people who were very tactless. Seeing that Song Wei had no intention of getting a share, they took action on their own.

Xu Laidi, the most shameless person in the Youth League Institute.

Not only did he take a few round dates from Song Wei's backpack, he also spotted something underneath the dates and hurriedly scooped it up.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

It was such a big snake, and she was unlucky enough to grab its ferocious head. She was so scared that she screamed and dropped the snake.

Song Wei picked up the snake on the ground and hit her with it.

Then he took back the round dates that she had snatched away.

"What are you doing? Robbery in broad daylight."

After Xu Lai Di reacted, she stared at the snake in her hand and yelled.

"Why are you saying such harsh words? We are all educated youth, so shouldn't we help each other? Are you so stingy about a few wild kiwis? Besides, these are wild fruits from the mountains, not yours, so what's wrong with me taking some?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She was quite confident about it.

Song Wei sneered: "I didn't see you go to find it on the mountain. I can give it to whoever I want if I find it."

"Such a big snake, Song Wei, did you kill it in the mountains?"

When the other educated youth saw the snake in Song Wei's hand, they immediately surrounded him.

It's been a long time since they last had meat. How much meat does this snake need?

"Snake meat is caught in the mountains and is also common property. Song Zhiqing, you won't eat it all by yourself, right? We Zhiqing are all one. You should take out this snake and share it with everyone."

The person who said this was a male educated youth. He had an ordinary appearance but his eyes were full of calculations and he was extremely stingy.

Song Wei asked him, "According to what you said, the things that other people in the village brought back from the mountains should be shared. Do you need me to help you promote it tomorrow?"

The male educated youth suddenly stopped talking. If this were to get out, he would be drowned in the spit of the old women in the village.

All the educated youth were one group. Everyone had something hidden. Who would be stupid enough to share something like meat with so many people?

Not to mention Song Wei, even if the snake was brought back by someone else today, he would eat it alone.

Some of these educated youth cooked together, while others cooked alone.

There was only one iron pot and a public stove in the Youth League House. The youth who had come before all cooked and ate together. However, since they came from all over the country and had different tastes, habits and personalities, conflicts would easily arise when they gathered together.

Two years ago, some educated youth fought over unfair distribution of food. After learning their lesson, they stopped doing it collectively.

They all look for compatible partners or do it on their own.

We only cook together during the busy farming season.

Song Wei held the snake and asked Li Juan: "Do you know how to cook snake meat?"

Li Juan nodded quickly.

"Come on, help me."

To her shame, she only knows how to roast, stew and cook, and the meat she makes tastes terrible.

Forget about the situation in the previous life. The meat of mutant animals is never tasty no matter how you cook it. The only thing you eat is to fill your stomach and not starve to death.

Now...she wants to eat delicious food, so you'd better not waste it.

The others watched Song Wei and Li Juan leave with the snake, their eyes filled with resentment.

"Song Wei has really changed. If it were in the past, she would definitely share the snake meat with Luo Zhiqing, but now..."

A soft female voice sounded, she looked at Luo Yecheng tenderly, her voice was gentle.

"Maybe there are still some misunderstandings about Luo Zhiqing. Maybe it would be better if we talk it out."

Luo Yeben's expression was originally very unhappy. After all, Song Wei's eyes never fell on him from beginning to end.

But when he heard Bai Yunjiao's words, his heart moved.

Yes, Song Wei must be angry with himself. It doesn’t matter, he can just coax her.

Song Wei had been angry before, but he always coaxed her into peace with just a few words.

Luo Yecheng was still very confident in his charm. After thinking it through, he was not in a hurry. He planned to wait until Song Wei and Li Juan cooked the snake meat before going to find her.
