Luo Qingman was not afraid of the snake in the basket, but she was afraid to catch or hit it. She could only wrap her whole body in the quilt and occasionally lift the gap to ask for help:
"Help, help! ..."
[System, please change the plot quickly. In this poor mountain valley, getting bitten will kill you.]
[Beep…]
The system went silent after a few seconds of electronic sound.
Many people in the Wangshan Brigade, which had just regained calm, were awakened by bursts of screams.
Several families nearby lit up their lamps and cursed:
"Whose house has been robbed again? Can't people sleep?"
"God damn it, I just squinted, what's going on?"
The enthusiastic person walked out of the house and listened carefully, confirming that it was Luo Qingman again.
"She screamed twice in one night. She's crazy. Ignore her."
"Is she playing a joke on everyone? Who has time to care about her?"
They closed the door while cursing, then returned to bed and covered their heads with the quilt.
The captain was no exception. Since no one came to report it, he could just pretend not to hear it.
Only Luo Dashan and his wife and Luo Baogen cursed in Luo Qingman's room:
"What are you doing? Hasn't this evening been enough?"
Then he shone the flashlight on two ferocious snakes and got scared.
Luo Baogen screamed and ran back to the room, slamming the door shut.
Luo Dashan and his wife had no choice but to use brooms, dustpans and rakes.
The two snakes had amazing fighting power, jumping up and attacking from time to time, flying towards people.
Fortunately, Luo Dashan grew up near the mountains and had encountered many snakes since childhood, so he knew how to deal with them.
After great effort, the snake finally got out of the house after spraying venom, and they broke out in a cold sweat.
Wang Cuifang shouted:
"Dashan, go take a shower and change your pants. This stuff is very poisonous. Has it been sprayed anywhere else?"
Luo Dashan angrily scolded her:
"What daughter are you teaching? And where did she get the snake from? Ask me clearly."
"Damn it, there are always this and that all day long. Don't you think it's enough that our family has brought shame to the brigade?"
Luo Qingman stood at the door of the room covered with a quilt and yelled:
"Is this my fault? It was Luo Qianyu who did it. She wished I was dead and that our whole family would die."
"Go find her if you can."
Luo Dashan took a few steps towards the bathroom, then turned around and rushed to her after hearing what she said.
He slapped her twice:
"I don't know if she is that powerful. Even if she is, the root of the problem lies in you."
"Don't think I don't know. You were the one who bought the veterinary medicine last time. You were so stupid that you hurt yourself and embarrassed me and your mother."
"I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you're yelling in front of me. I was so good to you in the past."
Luo Qianyu had never been so angry before. He covered his face with his hands, his eyes turned red, and he stiffened his neck and cursed at him:
"You dare to hit me? I call you dad, and I give you face? You are so cowardly in front of outsiders, why are you pretending to be a father in front of me?"
"You are such a fool who only knows how to bully others. I will never be like my elder sister and younger sister, and suffer your bullying and break off the relationship with you!"
Both Luo Dashan and Wang Cuifang were shocked.
This daughter and Luo Baogen, who was finally born, are twins, a boy and a girl. Everyone praises her for being so lucky.
Naming her Qingman also means celebrating perfection. Since her childhood, she has been treated much better than her three older sisters.
Now she can actually say such outrageous words.
Wang Cuifang stepped forward and pulled her:
"Xiao Man, how did you talk to your dad? Apologize to your dad now."
Luo Dashan didn't even bother to change his pants that were stained with poison, he pulled off his belt and whipped her.
"I treat you the best, but you are the most heartless! I will beat you to death today."
Luo Qingman was covered with a quilt and didn't feel any pain from the beating. He turned around and slammed the door shut.
Luo Dashan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he almost broke the door. Wang Cuifang persuaded him for a long time before coaxing him to take a bath.
Amid the noise, the night passed quietly.
Before the morning light appeared, black smoke was already coming out of the chimneys of many houses in Wangshan Brigade.
The Lu family was no exception. They cooked breakfast, heated up pig food, and took care of the children, all with their usual orderly division of labor.
Only Luo Qianyu was still lying on the bed and snoring, and Zhang Guifen didn't ask anyone to call her.
He only told Lu Siman before he started work:
"I think your sister-in-law didn't sleep well last night, so let her sleep. Cook more food at noon, as your eldest and second brothers may come back from the county."
Lu Siman agreed obediently.
No one noticed that after Zhang Guifang and her colleagues went to work, two strangers, a man and a woman, wandered past the door of her house from time to time.
At noon, Lu Siman went into the kitchen to cook, leaving only Henian and Hesui playing in the yard.
The woman climbed onto the door frame of the courtyard gate:
"Nian, do you still remember mom? That...isn't that Xiaoya next to you?"
"Come, let me see you. I miss you so much."
As the woman spoke, her eyes turned red and she shed many tears. Finally, she covered her face and sobbed.
A big hand appeared from the wall and pulled her away.
He Sui stared at He Nian with wide eyes curiously.
Henian was only five years old. Although he was afraid, he couldn't help but want to explore.
He felt that the woman was very familiar and should really be their biological mother.
But he was afraid when he thought of the scene in his dream where his sister was pressed into the basin of water.
"Sui Sui is playing here. Brother is going to take a look. You are not allowed to come."
He ran out in a hurry and didn't even hear Hesui's low call behind him.
There was no sign of the woman outside the yard. He turned his head and looked around, and finally the woman came out from behind a big tree at the corner.
"Nian, mom missed you so much, where's your sister? Didn't Xiaoya come out with you?"
Yan Xiuqin was in tears. She placed her hands on Henian's shoulders, looked him up and down, and then looked behind him expectantly.
Henian stood there stiffly, his two little fists clenched tightly.
Yan Xiuqin rubbed his head and face again:
"Come, let mom take a good look at you. You've grown up a lot."
He was cold all over, and trembling slightly, he brushed away Yan Xiuqin's hand:
"You are a bad person, you are not my mother."
He wanted to ask Yan Xiuqin why she didn't want him and her sister, and why she pushed her sister into the basin of water.
He also wanted to turn around and run back home.
However, his feet seemed to be rooted and he could not move.
After hearing what he said, Yan Xiuqin pressed him into her arms and cried even more sadly:
"Mom is not a bad person. It was that Lu Jiuchuan who took you and your sister away from Mom. He is the bad person."
"Would you like to go back with me? Call your sister out and I'll take you home."
Henian didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Mr. Lu was a bad person. Although he didn't like Luo Qianyu either, he felt that what Luo Qianyu said to him on the hillside that day was the truth.
He decided to push Yan Xiuqin away and run home.
A shadow suddenly appeared above my head, and a man's voice sounded:
"Why are you crying? You useless thing, get out of here."
Immediately Yan Xiuqin was pushed away and fell to the ground.
The short and strong black-faced man pinched Henian's cheek, stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth, and then took the hemp rope from behind his waist to tie him up.
Henian endured the pain of his mouth being torn and struggled with all his might.
But he was no match for the man. After just a few moves, he was unable to move. He could only stare with his eyes wide open in anger.
Yan Xiuqin rushed over and hugged the man's thigh:
"Let him go, please let him go back."
The man kicked her away and took a sack from behind a tree:
"We agreed to this long ago. It's no use regretting it now. If you keep on talking nonsense, I'll sell you out too."
