Chapter 407 Another Trouble
Su Chunlin watched helplessly as the things they had worked so hard for most of the day were carried away, feeling mixed emotions.
Work harder.
After working for half a month, the snow had already reached the ankles, and the carriages and bodyguards that Su Chuan had found from the provincial capital finally arrived.
Baskets of packaged seafood were moved out of the villa’s warehouse.
All the villagers who were working came over to lend a hand.
This carriage was loaded and set off first, followed by the carriages behind. The front carriage had already crossed the Daxun River, while the carriage behind had not yet finished loading.
It is also a grand occasion.
Everyone was busy until after noon when they cleared away all the seafood in the villa. The remaining ones were specially kept by Suta, which were perfect for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year.
Several people from Chenzhuang helped to pull the remaining seafood back to the village.
Su Chunlin and Su Chunsen sat down and rested for a while before they started clamoring to go back.
Su Tai couldn't let them leave empty-handed, so she quickly packed two baskets of seafood for them to take away, one basket for each family.
There are large yellow croaker, processed bluefin tuna, turbot, redwood fish, pomfret, hairtail, octopus, squid, etc., as well as abalone of different sizes, sea cucumbers, several fat and tender sea urchins that have not yet been shelled, more than 20 kilograms of mixed shrimps, and several fresh blue crabs.
A basket weighs about 70 to 80 kilograms, and it is difficult to lift it.
Su Chunlin had seen big scenes before, so he didn't bother to be polite with Su Tai. The two brothers carried the seafood onto the carriage and turned back to tease the twins.
"Do you want to go back with grandpa? The brothers and sisters in the village haven't seen you for a long time. Grandpa will roast lamb for you. It smells delicious. It's so delicious!"
The twins were drooling.
Su Tai was speechless. "Dad, why are you teasing them for no reason? If they get itchy, I can't leave, it will only cause more trouble!"
The light in the twins' eyes dimmed instantly.
Su Chunlin suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly promised: "I'll ask your second uncle to send a roasted whole lamb later!"
Having said that, he quickly got into the carriage and slipped away.
The twins pouted.
Su Tai looked around the house and found that everything was fine. She was somewhat relieved and praised generously, "Not bad, not bad! You have made progress this time. Mother will reward you later!"
The twins cheered and shouted, running around the house with the dog.
Su Tai had just returned to the room when she heard the barking of the three black dogs change. She was startled and quickly walked out of the room.
I saw Shen Congyu's door was wide open, and the growling of three black dogs came from there.
"What are you doing?" Su Tai frowned as she walked in. The scene in front of her almost frightened her to death.
"Where did the snake come from? How did it get into this room?" Su Tai was so scared that her legs went limp. She could only hide behind the black dog to seek a sense of security. "Quick! Big Black, Second Black, Little Black, get that thing out of here!"
"Mom! I picked it up. It's so cold outside. Can you please not kill it?" Shen Congyu pleaded.
Su Tai's mind was in a mess, and she only remembered Shen Congyu saying not to kill the snake.
"Dahei, take this thing to the mountain, as far as you can!"
Dahei bit the snake's body, and the hibernating snake woke up, spitting out its tongue, looking lifeless.
Even so, Su Tai still couldn't stand it.
Wait for Dahei to get the snake out of the yard.
Su Tai felt better, and rushed into Shen Congyu's bedroom with a fierce look, pulling out the cane.
There was another round of ghostly howling.
In the evening, all four children were punished by Su Tai.
Shen Yuezhang cast a resentful look at Shen Congyu, extremely angry, "Didn't I tell you to be a good boy? Why did you make your mother so angry again?"
"Tell me! Where did you get the snake?" Shen Congrong was very confused. He and his younger brother and sister were inseparable and they were separated only a few times. How did Shen Congyu get a snake right under his nose?
The twins flinched and exchanged a look.
Shen Congyu said hastily, "We shook the snow off the trees."
Everyone: “.”
Su Tai laughed angrily, "You shook this thing off and took it home? Are you stupid?"
It would be fine if he took it home and cooked it, but this kid actually made a nest for the snake and kept it in the house. He wasn't afraid of the snake waking up and biting him! It was a poisonous snake!
"Mom, sister and brother, I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again." Shen Congyu was very tactful and lowered his head, admitting his mistakes with a very good attitude.
The three of them no longer dared to believe him.
After everyone returned to the house.
Su Tai turned off the lights and lay down to rest.
The door suddenly opened a crack, and a small figure sneaked up to the bed and called out boldly, "Mom, are you asleep?"
"What are you doing?" Su Tai got up and lit a candle. Seeing that Shen Yuean was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and an inner garment, she quickly asked her to get into bed. "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Shen Yuean snuggled into Su Tai's arms and said coquettishly, "Mom! I'm here to admit my mistake! In fact, I asked my second brother to bring the snake back to raise. I didn't know it was a poisonous snake."
"How dare you say that!" Su Tai glared at her unhappily, then hugged her in her arms to warm her hands and feet.
Shen Yuean squinted her eyes happily and giggled twice in a flattering way, "Mom, punish me, don't be angry with my second brother."
Su Tai was speechless. "You two siblings have a bond that is stronger than gold. That fool foolishly took the blame for you, and then you secretly came to me to beg for mercy. You are making such a loud calculation, do you think I can't hear you?"
Shen Yuean shrank back, stuck out her tongue, and dared not say another word.
After a while, the person in my arms began to breathe evenly.
A sigh came from the darkness.
Soon Su Tai also fell into a deep sleep.
The next day was another sunny day.
Early in the morning, Su Tai asked the villagers to help move some of the seafood to the wool processing workshop.
Mrs. Ye and Zhou's mother finally saw the legendary big fish weighing three or four hundred kilograms, and they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
"It's so big! How do I eat it?" Zhou's mother circled the fish several times, jumping for joy like a child.
Su Tai explained, "This needs to be cut into pieces and eaten raw! The rest can be fried, deep-fried, boiled in soup or steamed. You've all worked hard this year. Everyone can choose a fish and some shrimps. I'll have someone prepare the tuna. You can all take some back to try."
"That's why I say Xiaotai is so generous! This seafood is so valuable, a fish weighs several taels! Tuna is even more expensive, ordinary people can't afford it!"
"We are all benefiting from Xiaotai's help!"
Everyone was talking at once with compliments.
Su Tai shamelessly accepted them all.
The tuna needs to be thawed first, so at this moment, they divide the fish.
Ye and Zhou's mother each got one portion, but Zhou's mother refused to take it. "I'm just here to lend a hand. Giving one portion to my daughter-in-law is enough. I can't take any more."
Although her heart was bleeding when she pushed the things out, she still knew clearly what advantages she could take and what she could not. If the Zhou family wanted to gain a foothold in the village, they could not let people criticize them.
