It is normal to encounter snakes in this large grass, not to mention that it is early summer now, which is the season when snakes often appear.

When she first started walking in the bushes, Old Mrs. Su was still a little wary.

Although there is no river in Songjia Village, there are still small streams, the air humidity is relatively high, and large grass patches like this are also common.

It is normal to have snakes in the village. Every household uses realgar fumigation, so these snakes are usually found in the big grass around the village and are rarely seen in the village.

When walking in this large grass, Old Lady Su naturally remembered at the beginning to never step on snakes.

This is also the reason why he let Zhang Chuncao go first when Zhang Chuncao proposed to go find Su Fuzhu first.

She was afraid that Su Fuzhu would be bitten by a snake if she stayed in the grass for too long.

After all, there are poisonous snakes in this big grass.

Once, someone ran into the grass to catch wild ducks and geese, but was bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost one of his legs.

Old Mrs. Su didn't dare to think about what would happen if Su Fuzhu was bitten by a snake, especially a poisonous snake. Would she punish her for not treating Good Funu well that day?

As a result, she had been walking in the grass for so long but had not found where Su Fuzhu and Zhang Chuncao had gone. Instead, she relaxed because she was too tired and stepped on a snake.

It has stepped on someone, but it hasn't hit their weak spot, so how could they not fight back?

Old Mrs. Su didn't even see clearly what kind of snake she stepped on before the snake bit her on the calf.

The snake was quite thick and had patterns on it. It bit Old Lady Su on her calf. Old Lady Su felt the pain and fell to one side, and her foot naturally moved away from the snake.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

The snake was freed and jumped away impatiently.

Old Mrs. Su fell to the ground. Although she was not hurt because the ground was slippery, she was old after all. Her health had deteriorated in recent years and she was no longer as good as before.

After this fall, she felt as if all the bones in her body were about to break apart.

The pain in her calf clearly told her that she was bitten by a snake.

Struggling to sit up and suppressing a feeling of dizziness, Old Mrs. Su pulled up her thin trouser legs and looked at her calves.

There were two clear black tooth marks on the calf, and the surrounding skin was beginning to turn black.

——It was a poisonous snake that bit her!

Realizing this, Old Lady Su couldn't reach the wound on her calf and couldn't suck the poison out by herself, so she could only try her best to squeeze it out.

Unfortunately, when she stepped on the snake just now, she only saw that it was a snake with patterns, and she couldn't see clearly what kind of snake it was, nor could she tell which snake had poisoned her.

But the condition of her calf clearly told her that this snake was quite poisonous.

Because, even though she was trying her best to squeeze out the poisonous snake, the area around the wound was originally only a little black, but as time passed, the dark purple color slowly expanded outwards.

Although the diffusion speed is very slow, it is still expanding outward.

Old Mrs. Su had some common sense and knew that she couldn't move in this situation, otherwise the toxin would spread faster.

But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

So she hardened her heart, tore off two strips of cloth from her clothes, and tied them above and below the wound, one above and one below, hoping to stop the spread of the poison.

She called Zhang Chuncao's name several times, but there was no response from Zhang Chuncao. Instead, her already dizzy head became even more dizzy.

It had been a while since Su Fuzhu's cry was heard, and Old Mrs. Su no longer had any hope of calling Qingchuncao over.

I guess Zhang Chuncao found Su Fuzhu and then went home first.

But Old Mrs. Su was still unhappy.

I didn't even tell her when I got back! She was the one wandering around and got bit by a snake!

Feeling dizzy from time to time, Old Mrs. Su knew that this was not due to the spread of snake venom, but was caused by the cold that had not been cured.

She felt more and more dizzy, and even though Old Mrs. Su didn't want to faint, she eventually fell to the ground.

And what about Zhang Chuncao and Su Fuzhu at this time?

The mother and daughter had safely returned home with the silver they had picked up. They saw so many people coming to the Song family next door and it was so lively, so they asked what had happened.

After hearing that Song Dawen from next door passed the imperial examination, Zhang Chuncao, who was hugging Su Fuzhu, felt a little jealous.

Although she could not read or write, she once dreamed of Su Xigen becoming an official and letting her live a good life. She also discussed this matter with some gossipy women in the village.

Thanks to that group of people, Zhang Chuncao knew clearly that after passing the imperial examination, even if he did not want to continue to take the imperial examination, he could still work as an official in the government, and even become a county magistrate of the ninth rank!

How could Zhang Chuncao, who was obsessed with becoming an official's wife, not feel jealous?

The Su family and the Song family have a bad relationship, and they can't catch up with the liveliness of the Song family, so there is no need for them to attend this banquet.

Zhang Chuncao hugged Su Fuzhu and went into the house. After seeing Su Xigen lying on the kang, he couldn't help but mutter:

"Song Daan next door has passed the imperial examination."

Su Xigen was not unhappy about what she said.

Because Su Xigen didn't take it to heart at all, he even felt that it was quite comfortable to lie at home every day.

Anyway, when she wanted to eat meat, her daughter went up the mountain to pick it up, and her life became much more comfortable than before.

He had a dream of becoming an official before, but after that time when he "served as an official", this dream was excluded from his few dreams.

"Yeah." Su Xigen, who was lying on the kang with his legs crossed, responded to Zhang Chuncao casually, trying hard not to let Zhang Chuncao's words fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhang Chuncao was just being sarcastic when she said that, and she didn't take Su Xigen's brief response to heart at all.

After she changed Su Fuzhu's clothes, she threw the dirty clothes into the basin in the yard, then went into the house happily, took out the silver she had just picked up, and showed it to Su Xigen.

"Brother Gen'er, look, one tael of silver!"

Zhang Chuncao waved the silver coin in front of Su Xigen's eyes, and then when he wanted to reach out to take it, she suddenly pulled her hand back.

"Where did you get the silver?" The moment Su Xigen saw the silver, he sat up from the kang.

Zhang Chuncao held the silver tightly in his hand, his face full of pride: "I picked it up! What I picked up is mine, I have to keep it well, it will be ours in the future!"

After hearing what Zhang Chuncao said, Su Xigen had no objection. He lay down again and continued to cross his legs.

However, Su Fuzhu, who was still in the room, raised an objection:

"Buy me clothes!"

But how could he take the money out of Zhang Chuncao's pocket?

Zhang Chuncao thought that since it was always Old Lady Su who bought clothes for Su Fuzhu, she said to Su Fuzhu, "Mother can't go to town, so your grandma will buy you new clothes!"

At this time, Su Fuzhu thought of Grandma Su: "Where is Grandma? I want to buy new clothes, I want Grandma!"

Su Xigen, who was doted on by Old Lady Su and was dominating the family, also looked at Zhang Chuncao after hearing this: "Yes, where is mother? Lai'er's maid came back and said that mother is with you!"
