Zhou Mingqian is a very proactive person, and he still goes to work on time.
At Old Zhou's house, Zhou Mingjiao was like a madwoman, yelling, "Get out of here, all of you get out of here!"
She was alone at home at the moment. A dozen or so venomous snakes of varying lengths and colors were all surrounding her, only fifty centimeters away.
The venomous snakes were intertwined, head to tail, forming a circle, their tongues flicking out.
Zhou Mingjiao's scalp tingled, and tears and snot streamed down her face. "Help! Someone come quick!" She didn't dare to move at all, afraid that they would all come at her and bite her at the same time.
"Ahhhhhh—!" A sharp male voice rang out. Zhang Baohua, whose face was bruised and swollen, saw the scene before him, screamed loudly, closed his eyes, and fainted.
Seeing that someone hadn't even had time to be happy, Zhou Mingjiao couldn't help but break down, "Ahhhhh, Zhang Baohua, you coward, wake up!"
The commotion they caused was quite loud, and Aunt Zhu, their neighbor, rushed over. "My goodness, this, this," she exclaimed, too afraid to move.
The sheer density of the numbers gave me goosebumps.
Seeing that the snakes hadn't noticed her, Aunt Zhu ran frantically outside. When she saw her grandson, Gou Dan, she cried out, "Run! Run! There are snakes inside! Don't get bitten!"
The grandfather and grandson ran to the brigade headquarters, and when Zhou's father arrived with his men, they saw this scene.
They were all dumbfounded. It was true that they were from the countryside and knew how to catch snakes, but when had they ever seen such a scene?
Some people wanted to turn around and run, but after all, they were in the public eye, and this was the captain's precious daughter. If they went back like this, they might be punished.
But none of them dared to step forward. Wasn't it because even the brigade leader himself hadn't gotten his hands dirty?
But Accountant Zhang let out a loud cry, "Baohua, Daddy's here to save you!"
Accountant Zhang ran like a superhero, his thin frame carrying Zhang Baohua on his back as he ran towards the clinic.
This movement caused the venomous snakes that had been peacefully surrounding Zhou Mingjiao to become agitated.
Aunt Zhu was the loudest, shouting, "Oh my god, this won't do, this won't do!" and started hitting her with a big stick.
The other men finally realized what was happening and started hitting him with bamboo poles.
Each and every one of them dared not be careless in the slightest.
Once everything had settled, there were more than a dozen flat, scattered snakes on the ground, many with their heads and tails separated, covered in blood, making it look like a large-scale "crime scene".
Upon hearing the news, Zhou's mother rushed over and saw Zhou Mingjiao squatting on the ground, crying her eyes out. Ignoring the "snake corpses" scattered all over the ground, she hugged her tightly and started wailing, "Oh, my poor Jiaojiao, you've suffered so much! Damn it, whoever gave birth to a son without an anus did this? May they be struck by lightning!"
Looking at the crowd gathered around him, he couldn't help but vent his anger, "Are you all dead?"
Aunt Zhu wouldn't have it. "I'm telling you, Wang Cuihua, it's your own business if you feel sorry for your daughter. If it weren't for us, your daughter might have been eaten by a snake."
The girls who came to help felt uncomfortable. Although they did want to leave, they were all from the same village and were young girls. They were still helping, weren't they?
Besides, who knows what deadly thing your daughter did?
These were over a dozen "snake spirits," and they were just killed by these people. I wonder if they'll come looking for them when they go to sleep at night?
Despite their constant propaganda against feudal superstition, which of these people didn't grow up listening to stories of the Weasel Spirit?
Having provoked so many "snake spirits," Zhou Mingjiao must have done something heinous.
They haven't even contacted Old Zhou's family yet, and they're already blaming them?
Their expressions all turned sour.
Seeing this, Zhou's father said, "Ming Jiaoniang was just worried about the child. She didn't mean it. We really owe you all a lot today, otherwise my daughter would have..." He then bowed.
Seeing Zhou's father's behavior, they didn't say anything more.
On the way back, everyone was still quite talkative.
I've never seen anything like this before. After all, it's obviously aimed at Zhou Mingjiao's daughter.
Otherwise, why would they have surrounded her?
The Zhou family.
Zhou Mingjiao clung tightly to her mother, refusing to let go no matter what. Her mother was heartbroken. "Don't be scared, little one. Don't be afraid, little one. Your mother is here."
"Mingjiao, what exactly happened?"
Zhou Mingjiao said in a tearful voice, "Dad, I don't know either."
"Did you provoke those things?"
Zhou Mingjiao felt like she was being wronged to death. "Dad, how could I possibly provoke them?"
Zhou's mother also expressed her disapproval, saying, "Old man, what are you saying? I think someone is deliberately seeking revenge."
"Revenge? Who will take revenge on her?"
Zhou Mingjiao seemed to remember something and couldn't help but shout, "I know, it must be my older brother, it must be him, he's the one who got revenge on me."
Zhou's mother didn't respond to these words; she had only said it casually.
Seeing that her father and mother didn't believe her, she gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, "Father, Mother, didn't my sister-in-law almost get bitten by a poisonous snake last time? Actually, I was the one who got her there."
"What?" The elderly couple couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Mr. Zhou was the first to react. He looked outside and pulled her into the house. "Mingjiao, what did you just say? Say it again!"
Zhou Mingjiao was so frightened that she blurted it out. Now that she had come to her senses, she said, "Dad, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to scare my sister-in-law. I didn't know it was a poisonous snake. Zhang Baohua gave it to me, saying it was to help me recover."
Zhou's father neither said he believed nor he did not.
Zhou's mother completely believed her. "You're so foolish! That could be a matter of life and death. What will you do if the police are called?"
“Mom, I really didn’t mean it. I just wanted to scare my sister-in-law. Why didn’t she give me the job? Besides, she took my spot as a barefoot doctor. And if it weren’t for my sister-in-law, my brother wouldn’t have treated me like that. You see, it’s because my sister-in-law was stirring things up that my brother has become estranged from us.”
“That bastard, the eldest son,” Zhou’s mother cursed, looking at Zhou’s father, “Old man, you can’t just let this go like this. Our daughter didn’t do it on purpose, but look at what the eldest son did, so many things. Isn’t he trying to kill our daughter?”
And what about Zhou's father?
He realized that he had underestimated his boss. Although there were strange things about this matter, he had seen it today: his boss went to work. If that was the case, then who brought it over?
Moreover, given how vengeful the boss is, if he finds out about that incident, things could get out of control.
