After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

However, before Xu Yuanshan could open his mouth, Old Lady Xu spoke.

"Mrs. Zhang, thank you for speaking up for our Xiaohua, but this is our family affair after all, so I hope you can step aside for a while."

Saying this is just to drive people away.

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "This is natural."

Jiang Xiaohe bit her lip, sneered, and said, "Xiaohua can be bullied like this, in fact, it has something to do with you as a grandmother. Some people should not be too partial. Dad, let's go."

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Xiaohua, picked up the backpack on the ground, and went out first.

Zhang Fu smiled awkwardly at Old Lady Xu: "Really, my wife is too outspoken..."

As he spoke, the man started walking away carrying his load.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaohe had already walked up the mountain, Zhang Fu hurried to follow.

On the way, Zhang Fu said to Jiang Xiaohe disapprovingly: "Daughter-in-law, although I know you sympathize with Xu Xiaohua, she has her own family after all. There are some things you really shouldn't say."

This statement also seems to be a bit of an accusation against Jiang Xiaohe for meddling in other people's business.

It was already daybreak. Jiang Xiaohe looked back at Zhang Fu and frowned slightly, "Dad, I understand what you mean. You think I am meddling in other people's business, but the reason for this matter is that I took Xu Xiaohua to make money! I just want to make myself feel better. And you are right about one thing. I do sympathize with her. She has no father or mother. Although she was raised by her grandparents, she still didn't get any love. If she knew that she would come to the human world like this, she probably wouldn't want to come when she was reincarnated, right?"

this...

"That's not the case. Her grandparents are willing to split up the family property and raise her. That's her blessing."

Jiang Xiaohe really wanted to say that whoever wants this blessing can take it.

However, she didn't want to argue with Zhang Fu, so she just kept walking towards the mountain, thinking that she would pick the grapes and then make wine and sell the money, which she would directly share with Xu Xiaohua.

When we arrived at the place where we picked grapes last time, we started picking them right away without any further ado. However, we only picked the ripe ones. We had to wait two more days for the ones that were not yet ripe.

After picking all of them, there would only be half a basket full. Jiang Xiaohe remembered what Xu Xiaohua said last time about going a little further into the mountains to find more grapes, and she immediately became interested.

"Dad, let's go a little further in. I heard from Xiaohua that there are still fruits like this in this mountain."

Zhang Fu looked into the mountain and frowned slightly. Their mountain was huge, and he had no idea what kind of ferocious beasts lived there.

"Will this half basket not be enough to sell tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "This fruit is not for sale in town this time, I picked it for other uses!"

Other uses?

"Do you want a lot?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

Zhang Fu finally said, "Let's go a little further inside, but we can't go too deep into the mountains. The mountains are endless. If we really run into anything, we won't be able to handle it."

"It's up to you."

The two walked towards the mountains. The further they went in, the more eerie it became. Fortunately, they found grapes after walking for a while.

From a distance it looks like a bunch of black fruit, it must be ripe.

Just as Jiang Xiaohe was about to reach out her hand, Zhang Fu quickly swung a carrying pole over and shouted, "Be careful!"

Jiang Xiaohe was stunned, and then she saw Zhang Fu waving his carrying pole, and a big snake as thick as her arm appeared in front of her eyes.

What would happen if I got bitten?

The snakeskin was similar in color to grapes, and she didn't recognize it at all.

After the snake was waved away by Zhang Fu, it immediately stared at the two of them in an attacking posture.

Looking at the appearance of the snake, Jiang Xiaohe thought, is this a black-banded snake?

"Don't be afraid, this snake is not poisonous. But it is so big that if you get bitten by it, it will not be a good thing." Zhang Fu said to Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe nodded slightly and whispered, "Dad, if it leaves directly, we will let it go. If it wants to attack us, we will catch it and sell it for some money."

As soon as she finished speaking, the black-necked snake pounced directly towards them.

Jiang Xiaohe picked up the sickle and wanted to chop it directly, but then she thought that snakes could be sold for money, so she hesitated and did not do it. Instead, Zhang Fu hit the snake's head with a carrying pole.

Seeing the snake turning around to attack again, Jiang Xiaohe didn't care and just chopped it with the sickle. The sickle was sharpened by Zhang Fucai yesterday and it was extremely sharp. It didn't cut the snake in two directly, but it also injured it.

The black-banded snake turned around and tried to escape, but Zhang Fu snatched the sickle from Jiang Xiaohe's hand and slashed it again. Finally, the snake was dying.

The two were breathing heavily, and Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. In fact, she was also afraid of snakes.

From ancient times to the present, most people would get goose bumps when they think of snakes.

"This snake is dead, I'm afraid it's worthless."

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "No, Dad, let's pick the fruits first and leave early. I'm afraid the smell of blood will attract other beasts."

When Zhang Fu thought of this, he did not dare to stop and started picking grapes quickly. There was more than one grape vine here. The two of them did not breathe a sigh of relief until they filled their backpacks and poles with grapes and piled them high.

Zhang Fu squatted down, weaved a straw rope on the spot, tied up the snake's body, and carried it on his shoulder. The two of them left quickly. There were still some grapes left to be picked, so they would have to wait until next time to find time.

What the two men didn't know was that not long after they left, this place really attracted wild beasts, but when they saw there was no food, the beasts left again.

The sun has risen in the sky.

When passing by Xu Xiaohua's house, there was no noise inside and the door was closed. Jiang Xiaohe shouted twice, but when no one opened the door, she left.

Their backpacks and loads were covered with green grass, so no one could see what was inside.

Someone wanted to reach out and lift it up to take a look, but they saw a huge snake's body on Zhang Fu's shoulder pole, which was emitting a fishy smell. Immediately, everyone gave up the idea of ​​lifting it up to take a look.

When they walked to the village, they ran into Wu Youhua. Wu Youhua had a big burden and was not afraid of the snake. She wanted to reach out, but Jiang Xiaohe stopped her immediately: "Aunt Wu, don't you see how tired my father and I are?"

Wu Youhua smiled brightly: "I'm just curious about what good things you brought back from going up the mountain so early in the morning." Then she was about to start again.

Jiang Xiaohe placed the sickle directly under her hand that was about to lift the grass, and then said coldly: "You are really worrying! However, if you have this free time, you might as well go to the mountain to pick more wild vegetables. You may be able to sell them in town and get a good price."

That's not a polite thing to say.

Wu Youhua gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.

Jiang Xiaohe and the other person ignored her and left.

"Why are you so arrogant? You think you're so great just because you made a little money!" Wu Youhua cursed behind them.

After saying that, he went back angrily.

When Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu returned home and put down their things, Wang Qiuxia came to greet them. When she saw the big snake on their shoulder pole, she opened her mouth wide and said, "Wow, this snake is really big! Are you two okay?"

Zhang Fu picked up the palm-leaf fan, fanned it twice and shook his head.

Jiang Xiaohe went to the kitchen to fetch some water and simply washed her face.

While washing, he said, "Mom, I'll take this snake to town and sell it. It'll earn me some money."

Zhang Fu took out his pipe and took a puff: "I'll go with you. This snake is not light."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

Wang Qiuxia shook her head: "Can this snake be sold for money? It smells very fishy."

Jiang Xiaohe put down her face towel and said, "Of course, even if the snake meat can't be sold, the snake gallbladder can still be sold for some money."

Wang Qiuxia looked at Zhang Fu and saw him nod. She smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. I'll bring you food. You should go earlier so that the snake meat won't be stale by then."
