Song Ruanruan didn't know much about Zhou Lan, but she knew that Zhou Lan was a petty-minded person.
She needed Zhou Lan's help, so she didn't take Zhou Lan's attitude towards her to heart.
"Zhou Lan, this is a hairband I bought in the city. I'm giving it to you."
Zhou Lan's eyes lit up when she saw the hairband in Song Ruanruan's hand. This hairband was much prettier than Zhou Xiaohong's.
Not only is it covered with lace mesh, but it also has a big bow and sparkling diamonds, and it is pink and tender, which looks very beautiful.
Zhou Lan hadn't seen too many fancy things, so she thought the more fancy the better.
The more she looked, the more excited she became. Zhou Lan reached out to take the hairband from Song Ruanruan's hand, but unexpectedly, Song Ruanruan took her hand back.
Zhou Lan instantly got angry and glared at Song Ruanruan with an unhappy face, "If you don't want to give it up, don't take it out. It's like I want it so badly."
Zhou Lan wanted to leave after saying this. Song Ruanruan became anxious and immediately grabbed Zhou Lan's hand.
As luck would have it, she pulled Ye Wangshu's right hand, which was clenched. Zhou Lan's wrist was still hurting at this moment!
"What are you doing? You don't have to hurt me if you don't give it to me!"
"No, I want to ask you for a favor." Song Ruanruan frowned slightly, knocked left and right, and then leaned over to Zhou Lan's ear and whispered a few words.
"No! Why should I help you?"
Zhou Lan looked at Song Ruanruan with her eyes slanted, her chin raised high.
"If you agree, I'll give you this hairband. When things are done, I'll give you another pair of hairbands, how about that?"
Song Ruanruan took out another hairband from her pocket. Zhou Lan's eyes lit up instantly, and then she reluctantly took both hairbands.
"If I didn't hate Ye Wangshu too, I wouldn't help you!"
Zhou Lan snorted lightly, exchanged a few words with Song Ruanruan, and then returned home in a triumphant mood.
Looking at Zhou Lan's figure, Song Ruanruan felt so angry that her teeth were itching, but she could only clench her fists to vent her emotions.
Zhou Jincong and Ye Wangshu had just returned home with their younger sister when they ran into Zhou's mother who was sweeping the yard.
Mother Zhou looked at the three people who came in with curiosity, "Didn't you just go out? Why are you back?"
Ye Wangshu and Zhou Jincong looked at each other, and then Zhou Jincong closed the door.
"Mom, this is what happened."
Ye Wangshu frowned slightly, glanced at his younger sister, and then told her that Zhou Lan wanted to steal Zhou Xiaohong's clothes.
After hearing this, Zhou's mother looked outside the wall with an expressionless face. She thought for a long time before sighing.
"Let's stay for three more days and then go back."
Since Zhou's mother, as the head of the family, had spoken, the family naturally didn't have many objections.
As the night deepened, Ye Wangshu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Jincong hugged the person tightly in his arms and asked in a low voice.
Ye Wangshu opened his eyes in the darkness, then let out a long sigh, stood up and turned on the light.
The warm light illuminated the room. There was nothing unusual going on inside, but Ye Wangshu felt something was wrong. She listened carefully to the noises inside the room, but she couldn't make out anything.
"Honey, I always feel like something is going to happen."
As soon as Ye Wangshu said this, Zhou Jincong immediately pulled him into his arms again, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Ye Wangshu shook his head, still feeling something was wrong.
[Beep—Detected there are about twenty snakes in the host's room. Please be careful.]
snake!?
Ye Wangshu was shocked and became panic-stricken.
It’s not that Ye Wangshu is afraid of snakes, but she is afraid that the person hiding in the dark may use some shameful tricks.
"Who!?" Zhou Jincong frowned and closed his eyes, listening carefully to the movements in the house.
A very light sound was heard in the room. Zhou Jincong got out of bed and started knocking around with a pair of tongs.
After a while, dozens of pitch-black snakes swam to the stove in the house for heating.
"Don't come down, there are snakes."
Zhou Jincong held the fire tongs in his hand, staring at the dozen or so snakes in front of him with a sharp gaze and a frown on his face.
"It's quite hot next to the stove, so they won't go to the bed for a while. Just stay in bed and take care of it. I'll go out and get some wine."
"No, here are wine and realgar powder."
After the system told her there was a snake, Ye Wangshu found the right opportunity to exchange for wine and realgar powder. Now that Zhou Jincong said he wanted to go out, she immediately brought the things over.
Zhou Jincong looked at Ye Wangshu in confusion, then sprinkled wine and realgar powder everywhere to force the snake into one place.
It is New Year's Day now, the weather has not yet warmed up, and there is still thick snow outside.
This snake appears strange, but moves very slowly and likes to stay in warm places.
The snakes were restrained together for a short time, and Zhou Jincong quickly took out a sack.
I saw him holding a pair of tongs in one hand and a sack in the other, and in just a few seconds he put all the snakes into the sack.
Zhou Jincong secured the mouth of the sack, then looked at Ye Wangshu with a puzzled expression, "Wife, how did you get the wine and sulfur powder?"
"There are already some in the house! Maybe there are snakes around here all the time, so we always have them prepared back home!"
Ye Wangshu looked at Zhou Jincong with trepidation in his heart. Zhou Jincong naturally would not believe what Ye Wangshu said. After all, the smell of realgar and wine was quite strong, and it was impossible for him not to detect it.
But on the surface, Zhou Jincong still nodded, indicating that he believed what Ye Wangshu said.
"Honey, who do you think brought this snake in? Could there be a snake in Mom and my younger sister's place too?... We have you in our room, so there's no danger. If Mom and my younger sister..."
As soon as Ye Wangshu said this, Zhou Jincong's heart immediately jumped.
"I'll go out and take a look. You're in the house now."
After saying this, Zhou Jincong put on a coat and went out.
Zhou Jincong immediately breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that there was nothing wrong in his mother and younger sister's room.
Zhou Xiaohong looked at Zhou Jincong with a troubled expression. After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke, "Brother, I saw cousin Zhou Lan sneaking over during dinner. Do you think...was it her?"
"We'll know if it's her once we try."
Ye Wangshu frowned, looking very unfriendly.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the house?" Zhou Jincong glanced at Ye Wangshu, his face a little gloomy, but he took off his coat and put it on Ye Wangshu.
"It's cold at night, be careful not to get sick."
Ye Wangshu grabbed the edge of his coat with his right hand, looked at Zhou Jincong with a slightly red face, and wanted to take off the coat and return it to Zhou Jincong.
Zhou Jincong came out in a hurry, wearing only light clothes. It would be easy for him to catch a cold in this place with temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero.
But she came out wrapped tightly.
"I'm fine. This little bit of cold is nothing. Just put it on." Zhou Jincong refused without waiting for Ye Wangshu to take off his coat.
Ye Wangshu knew how stubborn this person was, so he agreed to his request.
"If it weren't for Zhou Lan..."
Zhou Jincong frowned slightly. After all, he was unwilling to believe that his cousin would hurt him like this.
Although those snakes were not poisonous, if they hadn't noticed, the snakes would probably have crawled onto the bed sooner or later.
