The two walked along the road, and the neighbors in the village saw them carrying baskets and were very curious about what they were doing so early in the morning.
Everyone followed behind Yang Dashan and Yang Zhouming, and the group grew larger and larger, with a large group of people following behind.
Watching Yang Dashan carry away the basket of snakes, Yang Xiaoyong ignored his mother. His mother, who had always been biased towards them and treated them badly since childhood, had long since extinguished the last trace of kinship.
They just need to live together peacefully for now, and they've already tacitly accepted their parents' current relationship.
As long as Liu E doesn't cause any more trouble, they'll let her live like this at home.
As for Liu E, she was still very stubborn. She had just been so scared by the snake that she wet her pants, and now she was complaining about her bedding.
Yang Xiaoyong shook his head. His blood mother was still the same as always, making a fuss one minute and acting like nothing happened the next. She really had an incredibly big heart.
Completely forgetting that he had just peed himself in fright, he was now disgustedly tearing apart the bedding he had peed on.
When they arrived at Yang Chuhong's house, his wife, daughter, and youngest son didn't dare to go into the room. When they saw Yang Dashan coming, they were like seeing a lifeline.
They stared intently at Yang Dashan, but no one dared to approach him. The neighbors who had followed them in were not stopped by the Yang family.
When Yang Chuhong saw Yang Dashan enter the room, he was at a loss for words. Despite being a grown man, almost forty years old, he was most afraid of those slithering snakes.
The man's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Yang Dashan, waiting for him to quickly get rid of the slippery snakes.
Yang Dashan was also puzzled. How come these two people found a bunch of snakes on their kang (heated brick bed) at the same time?
Looking at Yang Chuhong with a puzzled expression, he had already formed a new opinion about the two of them.
The pile of snakes on the kang (a heated brick bed) was still provoking Yang Chuhong. Yang Dashan didn't immediately deal with the snakes; instead, he opened the basket he had brought earlier with great interest.
Everyone looked around and saw a group of middle-aged women who had come to watch the commotion. One of them said, "Dashan, how come there are so many snakes? I saw you came from Liu'e's house earlier, could these snakes have come from her house?"
Aunt Lianhua said, "I just saw Yang Xiaoyong running really fast to Dashan's house, it should be him."
Everyone was chatting excitedly, completely ignoring Yang Chuhong, who was still surrounded by snakes.
Yang Dashan thought to himself, "This is definitely suspicious. They're catching snakes in their hands, and I can hear everyone talking about it."
Yang Chuhong was heartbroken. Looking at the dense swarm of snakes, he felt so terrified that he felt like he was suffocating.
Yang Dashan, you gripped the snake tightly on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the gossip in your heart slowly began to grow.
Yang Chuhong was relieved when he saw the snakes gradually decreasing. His facial expression was no longer so stiff, and he looked at Yang Dashan with gratitude that could not be expressed.
Some of the village children saw it and notified the brigade leader, "Uncle Brigade Leader, a bunch of snakes were found at Aunt Liu'e's house and Uncle Chu Hong's house today. Uncle Dashan was carrying a big basket to collect them. You should go and take a look."
Upon hearing Yang Gouwa's report, Yang Chunlin hurried towards Yang Chuhong.
Rushing over in a hurry, Yang Dashan's snake-catching operation was completed in no time. The captain looked at the snake in the basket and felt a chill run down his spine.
Seeing Yang Dashan skillfully handling the snake, they finally felt relieved.
Yang Chuhong was relieved when he saw that all the snakes had been taken away. Now he felt like he couldn't even stand up.
His whole body was sore and weak, and his lower body was half paralyzed. He was so scared that he thought he was going to be paralyzed. He was still sleeping with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Everyone could only look at him with pity, and no one went forward to see what the real problem was.
Yang Zhoulin couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over and slapped his father's leg hard.
Yang Chuhong stood up immediately, his leg reflexes were still top-notch, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Yang Zhouming was speechless. Looking at his father's wretched state, he said, "Alright, your leg is fine, so stop howling."
Yang Chuhong looked at you and saw that you were standing perfectly fine, stretched your legs and feet, and that everything was alright before he put you down.
After a flurry of activity, Yang Dashan had a bountiful harvest today, but looking at the basket full of snakes, he was also troubled.
The neighbors around here said, "There's a lot of snake meat today. Anyone who wants some can come and get it." Everyone was just watching the spectacle and didn't dare to eat it, so they all backed away.
Yang Dashan looked at Captain Yang and said, "Captain, this is too much. It's fine for us to eat some fresh, but we can't eat it all. It's such a waste to let it go. What do you think we should do with all of this?"
Yang Chunlin saw that there was nothing he could do about the snakes, and that no one wanted them.
Just when they were having a problem, Sister Hua, who was good at cooking in the village, said, "Captain, look, it's not convenient for us to eat meat right now, everyone is about to have the summer harvest."
Let's make a soup with these snakes to nourish everyone. Everyone gets to eat meat, and the snake problem is solved too—a win-win situation.
The villagers nearby thought it sounded good, but the key was that no one dared to make that stuff, though they were willing to eat the cooked meat.
Yang Chunlin thought the decision was good. "Then let's have snake soup together at the brigade headquarters for lunch today. Everyone, take a look at what dishes you have at home and contribute them."
When the villagers heard about it, they went from house to house talking about it. Yang Chulin rushed home and told her family that she would make some pancakes for lunch and have some snake soup with them.
Upon hearing this, Song Yining knew it was the snake from Liu E and Yang Chuhong's house, but she still asked with doubt, "Uncle, how many snakes do you have to feed the whole brigade?"
Yang Chunlin felt a chill run down his spine and goosebumps all over his body just thinking about those snakes. "There were dozens of them. I don't know how they got into those two houses. They were all on their kang (heated brick bed) and wouldn't leave."
