Ling Dalang and the others reacted very quickly, grabbing wooden sticks from the side and heading forward.

Ling Silang was also frightened, but being a man, he fared better than Zhou Shi. However, due to the extreme emotional fluctuations, he also began to cough violently.

Du Mingxian turned around and glanced at Ling Silang with concern.

Ling Silang shook his head at her, trying his best to stop coughing.

Seeing that she had frightened Zhou, Du Mingxian felt embarrassed. "Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid. It's dead. I killed it." Perhaps afraid that no one would believe her, she hurriedly pulled the snake's head out and pointed out the wound on the snake's head to everyone.

When she removed the bullet, she used a dagger to dig it out, and now the wound looked quite large.

Seeing that the snake was dead, everyone felt a little relieved and then admired Du Mingxian. The timid ones continued to watch from a distance and did not dare to approach.

Ling's father and mother had been in the main room. Now that they were closer, Ling's mother looked Du Mingxian up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, she was relieved. "The snake is so big. Aren't you afraid something might happen? You really don't value your life. What if something happens?"

Ling's mother's words were harsh, but Du Mingxian saw the worry in her mother-in-law's eyes. She smiled and said to Ling's mother, "Mother, that's what happened to me. It would have been dangerous if I hadn't killed it."

The eldest sister-in-law, Wang, was very impressed, saying, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are amazing! You can even kill a snake."

Du Mingxian thought this was an opportunity to be honest with her in-laws, otherwise it would be troublesome later. "When I was a child, I met a master who taught me a few moves, so I know some martial arts and I'm bolder than others."

"That's great news, that's great news!" Ling's mother was quite happy.

Zhou was startled at first, but she was no longer afraid. "Fourth sister-in-law, go and eat. Everyone has finished eating." After saying that, she looked at the snakes. "Goodness, there are so many snakes, and they are so long when they are spread out. They must be spirits."

Du Mingxian went to wash her hands and eat, while the rest of the Ling family pulled the snake apart in the yard. It was quite long, about eight meters.

After Du Mingxian finished eating in the kitchen, Ling's mother called her to the main room, where everyone was already there.

Ling's mother spoke first, "Mingxian, what are your plans regarding this snake?"

"Mom, isn't this home? I have no objections."

Ling's father nodded and stated his plan: "The snake that my fourth son's wife brought back is big. I want my eldest son and the others to take it to the county to sell. There are many good parts on the snake, and the pharmacies will definitely buy it."

"I'll listen to Father," Du Mingxian replied. After saying that, she reached into her pocket and took out the ginseng she had put in her spatial storage. "I also dug this up. It's too big, so it took a while to dig it out."

Zhou was the first to jump out, "Oh dear, is this ginseng? Is this ginseng?"

Du Mingxian remembered Zhou saying that she had never seen ginseng, so she explained, "It is ginseng."

"Are ginseng roots this big?"

Ling's mother blushed with excitement. Seeing Du Mingxian so casually wrapping the ginseng in a handkerchief, she felt extremely distressed. "Oh my, this ginseng is huge, even the rootlets are worth a fortune."

Seeing Ling's mother's expression, Du Mingxian handed the ginseng forward, saying, "Mother, please accept it."

She can put it in her space, but... judging from Ling's mother's expression, it's better to let Ling's mother keep it. Since she married into the Ling family, Ling Silang's studies have always been supported by the family. Now that she has received some good things, the rest of the family will feel more at ease.

That's really the case. It's one thing for a brother to have his own thoughts, since he's his own brother. But as for the wife who married into the family, she naturally has some ideas. However, since Ling's mother is so strict in managing the household, the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to voice her thoughts even if she has them.

Seeing both snakes and ginseng now, I suddenly feel so glad we're still family.

Ling's mother did not refuse and carefully took the ginseng. "This is a life-saving thing." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

With this, Shiro is saved.

Seeing Ling's mother's tears, Ling's father felt heartache, but like everyone else, he was also deeply moved.

When Ling's mother turned her back, she gently wiped away her tears. When she turned back, the tears were gone. "There are special considerations for preserving ginseng. When the eldest son and the others go to the county later, I will go with them and ask the doctor if he can process it for us."

The eldest son of the Ling family was a little worried. "Mother, such a good thing, what if someone else has ulterior motives when making it?"

"Give him some of these, but don't even think about anything else."

Ling Silang then spoke up, "Mother, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"What do you mean?"

Ling Silang said, "If we take such a big ginseng to someone to process, people will definitely find out, and we'll definitely be targeted by thieves. The temptation is too great. We might as well just sell it."

"No, this ginseng can save lives in the future, how can we sell it?" Ling's mother firmly disagreed.

Ling Silang explained, "If we leave it here, we won't know how to process it. If it's not stored properly, the ginseng will lose its medicinal properties and become even less valuable."

Even if it has no value, just because it's this fat, it must be a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is better than ordinary things. Anyway, I'm not selling it.

Seeing that his mother was so determined, Ling Silang said nothing more.

Mr. Ling also had concerns, and said to Mrs. Ling, "Put the things away. My eldest son and I will go to the county and deliver the snake while it's still fresh. We can talk about the ginseng later."

"Okay, be careful. If you can't get back tonight, stay in the county for the night."

“Don’t worry, we can leave the city before the gates close.” Ling’s father said to Ling Dalang, “You go and lasso the ox, and the second son comes with you.”

Father Ling left with his eldest and second eldest sons. Mother Ling glanced at everyone in the house and said, "Everyone, keep your mouths shut about the ginseng. Don't tell anyone. This is our family's most confidential matter. If I find out who has told anyone, they'll be kicked out of the house."

"Got it, mother."

"I got it, tits."

They were all very well-behaved, except for Ling Sanlang's wife, Liu, whose eyes darted around before she silently lowered her head again.

"Don't go around talking about the snake. After we sell it for money, I'll buy some meat and we'll have a good meal at home. Remember that?" Ling's mother instructed.

She understands the saying "the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it." If the villagers find out that her fourth brother's wife had beaten up a snake like that, they would definitely force her to go into the mountains for dangerous things in the future, which is not appropriate.

After Ling's mother repeatedly warned them, everyone went about their business. Du Mingxian saw that it was still early and quietly left home.

After leaving the village, she quietly rode her horse towards Kaoshan Village, wondering all the way whether she was lucky or not.

Kaoshan Village naturally has mountains as well. Du Mingxian quietly went to the foot of the mountain, a place that no one usually wanted to come to. She put the horse into her spatial storage and then tiptoed towards the widow's house.

Widow Chen is the one who married her scumbag father after her mother died. I wonder if the two of them are still together now.

I'm not lucky today. If I don't run into anyone, I'll just have to come back another time.

Perhaps it was fate that favored her this time, because before she even reached the widow's house, she saw Du Youtian idly working in the fields.
