The Jia family.
Since she hadn't eaten, Jia Zhangshi's tantrum didn't last long; it only lasted for about half an hour before subsiding.
She's finished, but the situation has started to escalate again.
He keeps talking about eating delicious food.
But the Jia family had nothing good to eat now, so in order to appease Banggeng, Jia Zhangshi could only trick him into buying some pork the next day and stewing a pot of fragrant braised pork. Only then was Banggeng appeased.
By midnight, the residents of the courtyard house were all fast asleep.
But Qin Huairu, who was heavily pregnant, didn't sleep well.
Firstly, it was a bit hot today, and it was uncomfortable for the three of us to squeeze into one bed. Also, Jia Zhangshi's snoring kept interrupting. Secondly, we ate a bit too much for dinner, and our stomachs were a little upset.
Just as Qin Huairu was in a daze, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her body.
It feels so comfortable, like having an ice pack next to you.
Um???
ice bag?
Qin Huairu, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly felt something was wrong.
In the middle of summer, where does this coolness come from? And this coolness is spreading up from the soles of my feet.
Could it be that Jia Zhangshi really brought Jia Dongxu here?
The thought sent shivers down Qin Huairu's spine.
Then she mustered up her courage and opened her eyes, trying to look down at her feet, but before she could see clearly, she felt a chill on her right foot as well.
"ah!!!!!"
"Ah!!! A ghost! A ghost!!!"
"Help!"
A sharp cry for help pierced the night sky, nearly giving Jia Zhangshi a heart attack while she was fast asleep.
"No, there's no ghost!"
"Old Jia, come back soon..."
Just as Jia Zhangshi was reciting her words, she suddenly remembered that if Old Jia could come back, wouldn't he be a ghost too?
Then Jia Zhangshi stopped calling for help, mustered her courage, groped along the wall, found the light bulb's extension cord, and decisively dropped it.
The lights came on, and besides the three of them, there was nothing else in the room.
"Qin Huairu, what are you posting in the middle of the night...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Huairu's shrill voice rang out again: "Ahhhhh, snakes, snakes! There are so many snakes on the bed!"
She cried out and scrambled out of bed.
snake??
Jia Zhangshi squinted and was shocked to find several small snakes crawling on the bed.
Holy crap!
Jia Zhangshi felt a chill rush straight to her head, and then she jumped up with incredible speed, grabbing the sleeping stick as she jumped off the bed.
Snakes are something that terrifies most people.
"Who did it? Who did it!"
"Who the hell threw a snake into my house?!"
While cursing and swearing, Jia Zhangshi went out into the courtyard carrying a stick.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu had already called for help.
"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, are you asleep? Come quick, help me!"
After she banged on the door so loudly, Liu Haizhong came out somewhat impatiently.
"Who can stay awake at this hour?!"
"Qin Huairu, what are you thinking, doing so late at night?!"
Ever since the Jia family moved to the backyard, Liu Haizhong hasn't had a single day of peace. Either Jia Zhangshi is causing trouble, or Banggeng is having an accident, or he's disgusted by Jia Zhangshi's smelly clothes.
Now, even Qin Huairu is starting to act strangely.
"Second Uncle, there are snakes in my house, lots of snakes! Please help me get rid of them!" Qin Huairu looked terrified, clearly still shaken from the shock she had just experienced.
snake?
Many snakes?
Liu Haizhong only thought about it for a moment before he couldn't help but shiver.
What's going on?
How come the Jia family has so many snakes?
Despite his burly appearance, he's actually terrified of this kind of thing.
But if the Jia family's situation is left unaddressed, Qin Huairu will likely continue to cause trouble in the courtyard.
Just to be on the safe side, Liu Haizhong called a few people to help him.
Meanwhile, Chen Jun, who was planning to go to the black market, also heard the screams from the Jia family.
Out of curiosity, he went out to see what was going on.
At this moment, five or six people were standing at the entrance of the Jia family's house. The leader was Liu Haizhong, and behind him was Yi Zhonghai.
"Qin Huairu, tell me first how many snakes are in the house, and whether they are poisonous?"
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Only by understanding the situation inside the house could they go in to catch the snake.
"Lots, lots of them!"
Qin Huairu replied, trembling.
She was so focused on escaping that she didn't even have time to think about counting snakes!
"There are at least five or six!" Jia Zhangshi ran later, so she told them the number she saw.
Upon hearing this number, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but frown.
It's normal for one snake to enter.
It would be somewhat unbelievable if five or six items were included.
The house the Jia family rented wasn't exactly auspicious in terms of feng shui, so why were so many snakes gathered there?
"Second Uncle, hurry up and go inside to catch the snakes. I'm worried they'll hide in some corner if we're too late," Qin Huairu urged.
The snakes are mostly near the bed now, so they're relatively easy to catch. But it would be troublesome if they were to disperse.
"Don't rush, don't rush. Describe the snake's condition more carefully: what color is it, how big is it, and is it poisonous?" Liu Haizhong dared not go in rashly.
What if there's a poisonous snake inside?
Take a bite, and you'll be lying flat on the board.
"The color seems to be dark green? It's quite small, about this long." Qin Huairu gestured with her hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that they were all small snakes.
Even if this small snake is venomous, its fangs haven't grown out yet, so it's not dangerous.
And so, Liu Haizhong and his group went inside with flashlights, coal tongs, and bags.
In no time, they caught five snakes, four of which were found on the bed.
"Qin Huairu, you peed your pants because of this little thing?" Xu Damao looked Qin Huairu up and down with ill intent.
Because the fright came so suddenly, Qin Huairu was dressed rather lightly, and Xu Damao couldn't bear to look away from her.
Qin Huairu also noticed this and wanted to put on a piece of clothing, but she was afraid that there might be a snake inside.
"Xu Damao, if you keep looking around like that, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Jia Zhangshi said fiercely that ever since Jia Dongxu was imprisoned, her biggest worry was that Qin Huairu would not be able to hold back or would be seduced by someone.
Xu Damao is a very dangerous individual.
"Qin Huairu, something's not right. Why are there so many small snakes? And they all look like they came from the same nest. Do you have a snake den at home?" Liu Haizhong glanced at the snakes in the bag and felt something was amiss.
Snake nest?
Liu Haizhong's words made Qin Huairu, who had just relaxed, tense up again.
If there's a snake den in your house, then there must be big snakes there!
"Hey, there are some broken eggshells here. It looks like the snake crawled out from here." Yi Zhonghai, who had been silent until now, noticed something unusual.
