Chapter 2:
Luo Zhi’er snorted coldly, a vampire who can’t be fed!
Her man hunts on the mountain all year round to earn silver, yet when his own wife is sick, there’s no silver to see a doctor?
Trying to fool ghosts?
Not only did she, Li Xi’er, dare to talk back, she even dared to counterattack!
Her lips curved slightly…
Whoever dares to curse her again, beware of ending up just like it!
Her dark eyes flashed with a hint of cunning in an instant.
She had long ago spotted a flower snake slithering from the ground in front of the door into the chicken coop.
Her eyes flickered slightly…
This guy probably came sniffing the scent…
Alright then, let’s use you for a little snack. This body’s bulky and fat for a reason—her stomach was already rumbling noisily…
Zhou Shi only saw that fat daughter-in-law finally lift her leg, rub her belly, and waddle down the steps.
She naturally thought she was scared and going to make food!
Who would have thought that after her massive buttocks twisted and turned down the steps, she headed to the other side.
The flesh on her waist swayed along with it…
She stopped at the chicken coop, pushed the door open with a shove, nearly flinging it off its hinges.
Zhou Shi thought she was gluttonous, had slept all morning, was hungry, and wanted to steal her eggs to eat!
The hens in the chicken coop had been clucking all morning, and she had been too busy cursing to collect the eggs yet!
At home, in this chicken coop, no one dared approach except her!
“What are you doing? You glutton, stop right there?”
“Mom, stop her quick, she must want to steal eggs to eat!”
Li Zhenzhu was also anxious and stamping her feet. These eggs fried in lard were so fragrant—her mom often secretly fried some for her and Old Five when the other daughters-in-law in the family weren’t around.
Besides selling for silver, the rest basically went into their stomachs!
Sure enough, Luo Zhi’er turned her back to them, stuck up her big buttocks, rummaged in the chicken coop for a bit, then dangled a wriggling flower snake…
The two hurriedly ran over, just reaching behind her buttocks.
Luo Zhi’er spun around, and Zhou Shi felt something hard and cold slap straight at her face.
With a smack, half a snake tail whipped onto Zhou Shi’s face, wrapping half a loop around her neck. “Wha… what thing?”
“Ah! Snake, snake, Mom run quick!”
Zhenzhu was scared to the point of nearly wetting her pants!
That cold touch and the curving, slowly crawling body made her go numb all over.
“What, Luo Zhi’er! Quick, quick, take it away!”
Glancing at the snake tail tip dangling from her chest—oh her mom—her legs were trembling, about to roll on the ground. She’d probably have nightmares tonight!
“What’s wrong? Mom?”
Luo Zhi’er looked dumbly, but her eyes were sparkling brightly as she asked!
“Ah! Gonna die! You dumb thing, get away quick, take the snake far away!”
“Watch out or I’ll make Old Three divorce you!”
Zhenzhu had long since retreated far away in fright, running a good distance, but still turned back to remind her mom,
“Mom, snake! Snake, it’s on your neck!”
“You dead girl, all you know how to do is run. Mom knows!”
Zhou Shi was a bit displeased, looking at her daughter who had already run far to the edge of the yard.
Her daughter saw the snake wrapped around her neck but didn’t say to help—instead she herself fled first, running far away…
In Zhao Li Village, from far away you could hear the women in Old Man Li’s yard shrieking nonstop, wailing to heaven and earth!
Villagers working in the farmland, Zhao Er, and his wife: “What happened at Old Li Family again? Never a peaceful day!”
“Sigh, she’s been cursing all morning—that’s got Third Wife pinned down!”
“Luo Zhi’er, get away!”
“Mom, Zhenzhu, why are you running? Don’t be afraid! This snake is fine, snake soup is delicious!”
Seeing it was about enough, Luo Zhi’er pinched the snake’s head and yanked hard—the snake began to struggle!
Seeing the snake head gripped in her hand, Zhou Shi hurriedly used her own hands to pry off the snake tail and ran off like smoke.
Whew!
Finally could breathe! “Heaven-damned little wretch!” She cursed nonstop while running!
“Eat eat eat, all you know is eat! Even dares eat snake! Why not eat yourself to death!”
Seeing the mother and daughter scared running all over the yard, Luo Zhi’er was delighted inside!
Dangling the wriggling snake tail with an innocent face, she walked toward them. “Mom, don’t run! Our big dish for today is settled!”
“Ah! Get far away! You fat wretch, you’ll get people killed!”
People go mad and disaster follows, sky goes mad and rain comes—with a splat, the snake dropped to the ground. Due to extreme fright, it curled up in a coil. “Uh… careless!”
At that moment, the snake suddenly whipped around, lunged up, nearly biting her black fat paw.
Momma, good thing she dodged fast!
“Hahaha, serves you right!”
The mother and daughter felt greatly relieved inside! Who knew that fatty grabbed the snake tail like catching a chick—the flower snake was back in her hand, and with a lift, the snake head dangled down…
Luo Zhi’er dumbly chased after the two again,
“Mom, Zhenzhu, hehe! Look, I caught it again, don’t worry. Mom, help me hold it first, I’ll go find a tool, then kill it, and we’ll have meat to eat!”
The snake raised its head, stretching toward them—this scared the two silly, sharp screams filling the yard. “Heavens, can’t live anymore! Take it far away!”
“Why run? Let’s have a little snack!”
“Ah, Luo Zhi’er you little bitch, stay away from me!”
Zhou Shi accidentally kicked a stone and fell flat on her face; Zhenzhu also tumbled onto her mom…
“Ouch!”
“Mom, Zhenzhu, what happened?”
Old Five walked out from the house…
“Gui’er, did we disturb your studying? This third sister-in-law of yours has gone mad—you see, she dares use a snake to bite us!”
Zhou Shi looked at her youngest son with a touch of apology and climbed up!
Disturbing her son studying—all because of this dead fatty!
Li Gui frowned. She didn’t think that her earlier cursing had also disturbed his thinking.
He hadn’t wanted to come out—arguing with idle women would tarnish his identity! Li Gui raised his eyes to glance at his third sister-in-law.
Seeing her dangling a flower snake in her hand, very calmly…
“Third sister-in-law, this is…”
Luo Zhi’er sized up this most esteemed little uncle in the family.
She didn’t miss the trace of disgust in his eyes. Scholars are proud—he’s always looked down on her, this fat and ugly third sister-in-law…
She felt like teasing him a bit. “Oh, little uncle, I didn’t scare Mom and Zhenzhu. It’s Mom who told me to make food. There’s no veggies at home, even less meat, so let’s use this for a little snack!”
Her eyes stared at the snake shiningly, just like looking at some delicacy, slurping—about to drool…
“This delicacy is mouthwatering just thinking about it. No idea why they’re running?”
Li Gui really couldn’t stand her gluttonous, low-class appearance.
Women should be like the daughter of Teacher’s younger brother—face like a silver plate, fingers like trimmed scallion roots, lips like vermilion pills.
Look at her fingers dangling the snake—nails long and sharp, with black mud ash inside…
Face swollen like a ball, chin layered in folds, body fat and massive, belly ring upon ring—truly an eyesore!
What’s scary is, she even dares eat something as filthy as a snake?
“Little uncle, do you want to eat?”
Luo Zhi’er deliberately provoked him. This Li Gui, usually can’t lift a shoulder or carry a hand.
Because he has to study, he never does farm work. Look at his tender skin…
The family’s farm work is basically all handled by Oldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Child, and the others.
Because no family division yet, the whole family earns silver to support his studies!
And he says lofty words—Old Li Family has just this one scholar, passed Tong Sheng at thirteen. Old Man Li is so proud of it!
