Chapter 119: Sorry to Split the Money
"Well, this is because we are afraid that An Liang will be deceived. After all, there are so many snakes." Mei Xue said worriedly.
But An Liang was afraid, "Sister-in-law, you won't let me carry so many snakes to sell by myself tomorrow, right?" He didn't dare.
I can't lift it either.
When they heard what he said, An Cheng and the others laughed, "I knew you were bragging. Now you feel embarrassed."
"We are here, we will go with you." Anshan said with a smile.
Mei Xue had never thought about this problem before. She always remembered what An Liang said. They had school tomorrow and could take the coins to town to sell.
But now, "Forget it, I knew you can't be trusted. An Wen and I will go sell it tomorrow. Don't brag next time." Mei Xue glared at An Liang unhappily.
She felt dizzy just looking at the huge amount of water.
After going back and forth for a while, it was already dark.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The four of them were happy. If they could sell just a few, it would be fine, but they really didn't have the ability to sell so many.
After getting on the scale and getting the weight, everyone was stunned, "How can it be so heavy?" They didn't know until they weighed it, and they were shocked. One hundred and seventy kilograms, how many snakes would it take?
Mei Xue hadn't expected that there would be so many. "Well, it's getting late. Let's go back. I'll leave the village with you tomorrow."
Mei Xue felt a little annoyed. If she had known she would go by herself tomorrow, she should not have skipped those poisonous snakes today. The ones she caught were non-venomous, for fear that something might happen to An Liang and the others on the way.
Now I feel better, I regret it.
Five yuan per pound, it’s really not cheap.
After carrying the bags to the utility room, the four of them left the He family courtyard. They were all very excited, but they also had their own plans.
No one knew better than them who had made the greatest contribution today. Everyone had their own thoughts to keep and soon returned home.
They need to discuss this with the adults at home.
Mei Xue also walked into the kitchen, "Grandma, do you know how many kilograms of snakes we caught today?" She couldn't remember the number.
"How much?" Grandma asked, turning around as she was frying the last dish in the wok.
"More than 170 kilograms." Mei Xue gave an astonishing number.
When Grandma He heard this, she laughed and said, "I'm afraid you have killed all the snakes on this mountain." There are very few snakes on their mountain, unlike the mountains farther away where there are fewer people and more snakes.
"No, we also released a lot of poisonous snakes. Grandma, you must be careful when you go up the mountain in the future. There are also poisonous snakes on our mountain." She saw it with her own eyes.
"I know. As for Cai Tou Zi, grandma has seen her before." He knew the grandma in the mountain behind his home very well.
"Grandma, do you know snakes?" Mei Xue was shocked. She could only tell whether the snake was poisonous or not, but she couldn't name any of them.
Because these snakes were completely different from the ones she knew.
"Yes, grandma knows a lot of snakes, back then..." Thinking of the days when she was still at her mother's house, Grandma He's face was full of smiles.
Mei Xue certainly knew that her grandmother's father was a hunter, so she thought his skills wouldn't be too bad.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Your grandpa and the others are gone anyway. Come over and have dinner." The dishes were out of the pot and the rice had been cooked long ago.
Mei Xue also didn't want her grandmother to think too much about the past.
Just like grandma said, let the past be the past. Even if there was a murderer, he would have been dead or sick by now.
What she hated most was the heartlessness of her relatives, so no matter how rich she was, she would not use it to help others.
Of course, An Wen doesn’t count, because he didn’t help himself, but Xiaoxue wanted to help him.
Helping out with small things is just a way of staying in the village, but it’s impossible for you to help with big things.
While eating, Mei Xue talked about leaving the village tomorrow.
Grandma He also thought about it. With so many snakes, Xiaoxue would definitely not feel comfortable leaving them all to the children because they still had to go to class.
"With so many of them, why don't we go to the county town? Boss Zhao and his people run a restaurant, wouldn't it be better if we sell it to them?" Grandma suggested.
Mei Xue heard it and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." She couldn't forget her big customers when she got good things.
"It's a good opportunity for us to go to the county town to visit Anze and tell him about the flood in the village."
Well, after hearing this, Mei Xue had nothing to understand. Grandma just missed her grandson.
"good."
"Bring him some more food. The chili sauce from last time is edible, and the pickles are getting sour. Bring him some. It's so expensive to eat out." Bring your own food to save money.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, grandma." Mei Xue had no objection, but that man, huh, was useless. It had been almost a month, and she still wasn't pregnant.
Mei Xue really disliked He Anze in her heart, luckily He Anze didn't know it, otherwise he would have died.
That night, Mei Xue and her grandmother went to bed early because they had to get up very early the next day. If they got up too late, it would delay An Liang and the others from returning to school.
The way up the mountain is different from the way down the mountain. It takes more than an hour to walk down the mountain, but it takes at least three hours to walk up the mountain, not to mention carrying so many snakes.
This is also why Mei Xue said she would go by herself.
The first reason was that it was too dark and unsafe, and the second was that she was afraid they would lose her snake.
That's money, and grandma can count it happily.
The next day, around three in the morning, An Liang was ready and came to knock on the door.
Before he could call for help, Mei Xue came out of the kitchen with her grandmother, "Here we are, let's go."
There were so many snakes that Mei Xue put them in a basket directly so that she wouldn't get tired carrying them.
Add some dishes brought to He Anze, and the two ends were balanced.
Last night, all four families knew how many snakes they had caught and how much effort their sons had put in.
Aunt Meilian and Aunt Xilian directly asked Anliang and Anwen not to take the money.
An Liang was a loser, and he was too embarrassed to share the money, so he nodded in agreement immediately.
However, He Zhengcai muttered while eating, "Will Xiaoxue not give it to these guys?"
Aunt Xilian was even more angry. She said that if Anwen dared to take Xiaoxue's money, she would break his legs.
This was the first time they had seen Aunt Xilian get so angry. Anwen didn't want to share the money in the first place. None of the snakes were caught by him, so he felt embarrassed to share.
The same thing happened to Anshan. He also told his mother about the situation. Aunt Ting meant that she didn't want the money.
However, An Lin made a few sarcastic remarks, saying that his work was in vain and that he might as well cut down a few more trees and earn a few cents for it.
He Zhengting was also jealous, but when he saw the murderous look in his wife's eyes, he shut his mouth.
Anshan also got the agreement from his whole family and decided not to share the money, mainly because they were too embarrassed to do so.
An Cheng's situation was even simpler. After hearing what her son said, Zhang Lanhua was amused: "You still dare to ask for a share of the money? Are you qualified?"
So, An Cheng became autistic.
