Chapter 66: Robbery



The next day after returning home.

The Zhang family came to visit Song Yuehua early in the morning, carrying several baskets of food. They sat in the kang room and chatted for a long time.

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Zhang were holding Dabao and Xiaobao and playing with them, while Granny Wang brought brown sugar water to entertain the guests.

They chatted about the village for a while.

Grandma Jin held Song Yuehua's hand and said, "My child, life is getting better and better now, so don't take risks again."

"Yes," Tang said, holding Xiaobao in her arms, as she walked to the kang. "We already have everything at home, so there's no need to work so hard."

Song Yuehua responded with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't happen again in the future."

After a while, Ma Yong's wife, Qin Xiuxiu, also came over with a small basket.

Tan Xiuxiu is a very outgoing person. As soon as she entered the house, she greeted everyone happily.

"Hey, Miss Tang and Sister Zhang are here too. It's rare for Grandma Jin to come so far!"

After saying that, he touched the bamboo strips on Song Yuehua's waist and asked, "Yuehua, are you feeling better?"

"Except for not being able to move, everything is fine." Song Yuehua said with a smile.

Qin Xiuxiu took the brown sugar water from Grandma Wang with both hands and said with a smile, "Grandma Wang lives at the end of the village, and I live at the head of the village. It's rare for us to see each other on weekdays. I always want to spend more time with you. Yuehua will have Grandma by then, so please don't think I'm annoying!"

Tan Xiuxiu's words made everyone in the room laugh.

It was only when Song Yuehua interacted with Tan Xiuxiu for the first time that she realized she was such a warm-tempered person.

"I can hear laughter from far away. It looks like a distinguished guest has arrived!"

Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law, Lin, and the second daughter-in-law, Zhang, also came over carrying two baskets.

Tang hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and said with a smile, "It's a good thing this house is built big, otherwise there would be no room for so many of us."

Lin pulled Tang to sit down and said, "Stop busying yourself, sit down and talk."

After saying that, he looked at Song Yuehua and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"Just lie down and rest for a few months and it will be fine." Song Yuehua said.

Lin nodded and said, "That's good. You should also take a good rest. Since the separation, you have not stopped for a moment. No matter how capable you are, you can't do this. If there is anything you need help with, just ask."

"Yes, if you need me to buy anything, please feel free to ask me to buy anything," Tan Xiuxiu also said, "My father-in-law goes to the county town every day, so it's convenient for him to bring things."

Grandma Jin smiled and said, "Girl, if you really want to be polite to us, that would be unorthodox."

Song Yuehua agreed to all of them with a smile.

They chatted for a while before leaving together.

It was not until the fifth day that Xie Feng delivered the silver.

A full five hundred taels of silver.

Song Yuehua was stunned. You know, in addition to the 60-tael bounty, the big bear was only worth 200 taels. How could a big snake be worth 500 taels?

Xie Feng said that it was Xie Quan who got the news that someone in the capital wanted the gallbladder and skin of the giant python king cobra.

In order to get a good price, Xie Quan called several merchants to bid.

The price could not go any higher at 300 taels. Just when Xie Quan was about to sell it for 300 taels, a man who claimed to be a state official wanted to forcibly requisition the Black Snake.

"It sounds nice to call it forced conscription, but it's nothing more than plundering," said the third brother Xie An disdainfully.

Xie Quan naturally disagreed.

Finally, it was the third son of the county magistrate, Yan Fengjian, who bought the black snake for 500 taels.

What happens next is none of their business.

"See you in Yan Feng..."

Song Yuehua thought of the man who smashed the door and paid compensation in Zui Xiang Fang.

How could this person get involved? Could it be...

"Xie An?"

As soon as Song Yuehua spoke, Xie Feng nodded and said, "The third brother and Yan Fengjian exchanged a condition."

"What conditions?" Song Yuehua asked.

Xie Feng glanced at Song Yuehua and said, "Yan Jianfeng wants to see the person who killed the black snake."

"See me?" Song Yuehua asked in surprise.

As far as Song Yuehua's impression of Yan Jianfeng was concerned, apart from his bad temper, he didn't seem to be a bad person. It was understandable that he had a strange liking for the person who killed the black snake. She was just afraid that he would be disappointed when he saw her.

Song Yuehua asked, "When? Where?"

Xie Feng was stunned for a moment before he said, "Don't worry."

After Xie Feng left, Song Yuehua touched the huge pile of silver and felt like she had fallen into a wealthy family in an instant.

500 taels!

Oh my God, a full 500 taels!

Song Yuehua had a very leisurely life in the following days.

Except for eating and going to the toilet, Song Yuehua lay in bed all the time.

It was a great pleasure for Dabao and Xiaobao, as they could spend the whole day with their elder sister, playing and rolling around beside Song Yuehua every day.

Dabao ate a lot and grew strong. One time, he was tripped and fell directly on Song Yuehua's stomach.

Song Yuehua grunted while gritting her teeth. If she heard correctly, the board under her waist seemed to creak.

Granny Wang was so frightened that she pulled Dabao away and asked anxiously, "How is it? Does it hurt? Turn over so I can see. Ouch, I shouldn't have put this little fat boy next to you."

Only when she saw that the board was not broken did Granny Wang feel relieved.

From that day on, Dabao was not allowed to appear near Song Yuehua.

Since Xiaobao started speaking, he would occasionally use one or two words to express what he meant.

In comparison, Dabao still can’t even call out to people and just babbles all day long.

This made Song Yuehua worry that Dabao's brain was not growing well.

When people have free time, they have a lot to think about.

After lying down for a few days, Song Yuehua became worried about Liu Xue again, so she called Duan Yidao and asked him to go to Xingjia Village to check on Liu Xue's condition.

He also took 10 taels of silver and asked him to give it to Liu Xue.

Duan Yidao came back the next night and brought bad news.
