Chapter 97
Cui Gu had never seen so much money, and it was given to her. Although she also helped, it was Yin Gu who caught the snake!

"Gu Yin! Do you really give me so much?"

Wei Huayin also gave her one or two halves, "As I said before, you will get half of what you find and what you throw out."

"But you also saw Zhuyeqing!" Cui Gu looked at her.

Wei Huayin smiled, "Let's go! Go buy candy and chicken legs!"

Holding the silver, Cuigu couldn't help being excited, and went to buy candy with her, and stopped her, "I bought it, let's share it!"

"I'm losing weight and don't eat sugar!" Wei Huayin told her, and bought a box of soft pastries to take.

Cuigu was happy, and divided the money again, feeling that she took Wei Huayin's money to take advantage of her, and felt a little guilty, so she insisted on paying for the chicken legs.

Wei Huayin bought a roast chicken himself.

"It's getting late, let's go home quickly!" Cui Gu happily said while holding the food.

"Wait a little longer!" Wei Huayin went to the Yinlou where he bought the earrings last time, picked out a pipe, and went to the shop to buy a pack of high-quality tobacco leaves.

"Why are you buying this?" Cui Gu wondered.

Wei Huayin replied, "My grandpa is celebrating his birthday." Liu Mancang's 58th birthday will be in a few days.

Cui Gu nodded knowingly.

The two took a mule cart to Yangliu Town.

Looking at the two of them, only Cui Gu can see it. Wei Huayin was round for a while, and her skin was still abnormally dark. No one thought that they had money on them, and they arrived in the town smoothly. It was already dark .

Mrs. Fan made lunch at home, but no one came back. The eldest room asked several times but no one was found. I heard that Cuigu brought two wild vegetables and salty pancakes when she left, and Wei Huayin also left a message when she left. Maybe there will be no lunch at noon. Come back, hold your heart and wait.

But after dinner was ready, and no one came back, I became anxious and went out to find someone.

Wei Huayin was also lucky. He ran into someone from Gu's Village, and took a ride in their ox cart. It was almost dark when they got home.

Seeing that the lights were on at home, Fan picked out a light, and several people from the village were looking for them, Wei Huayin quickened his pace.

Cuigu called from afar, "Grandma! Dad! We're back!!"

Boss Wei saw that the two of them were fine, so he came over with a sullen face, "Where did you go? My daughter's family, after going out for a day, it's getting dark! Didn't you see it!?"

"We went to the county seat! We sold it for money!" Cui Gu put out all the money and food in a showy manner, "We caught snakes and sold them for money!"

Wei Huayin couldn't help but touch her forehead, and told her when she came back, don't show off.

Boss Wei was stunned when he saw the silver locket and a large string of money, "What snake did you catch? Is this all money for selling snakes?"

Cui Gu kept nodding, "I caught it."

Wei Huayin squeezed her, "I caught six or seven! We've all bought something to eat!"

As soon as she squeezed it, Cui Gu remembered what she was not talking about, and quickly shut her mouth.

Fan didn't blame her, she just thanked Wei Tiegen and the others, and led Wei Huayin home for dinner.

Sister-in-law Wei also came over with half a bowl of scrambled eggs, "It's good to be back! Your grandma also heard that people from Gu's Village fell into the river, so she couldn't be more worried!"

Seeing that Fan's family turned pale, Wei Huayin took out the roast chicken, snacks, tobacco pipes, tobacco leaves, and money, "I won't come back so late in the future."

Seeing the things and a few silver coins, Fan was startled, "You have all of these."

Sister-in-law Wei was also surprised.

"Today was very lucky. I caught a silver ring snake and a bamboo leaf green, and sold them for money. I gave Cuigu a little, and this is what I bought." Wei Huayin explained.

Fan Shi didn't know until today, "You went up the mountain to catch snakes? If this bites you, you will die! You fool!"

There are people who are bitten to death by poisonous snakes and insects all year round, so even if they know that poisonous snakes are sold for money, few people specifically catch them.Not to mention being relieved, Fan was even angrier.

Sister-in-law Wei also persuaded, "It's good luck this time, and there is no guarantee that something will happen in the future! It will be terrible if something happens! You are still two little children, so don't go in the future! If something happens to you, Let your eldest sister, let your grandma live?"

Wei Huayin nodded, "We brought realgar powder with us, and we also asked Dr. Gu about the herbs used to detoxify us, and we brought them with us! It's just these times, when we get over it, we won't go."

Occasionally there are naughty boys in the village who will catch snakes to sell for money, and buy food secretly, but they are also boys.

Fan Shi said a while, and seeing that she understood, she sighed, "Okay! Hurry up and eat quickly! It's cold!"

Wei Huayin tore the roast chicken in half and gave it back to Mrs. Wei.

"No, no, no! You child, how can you bring such a thing!" Sister-in-law Wei pushed away and ran away quickly.

Wei Huayin sent the roast chicken to her home again and handed it over to her elder brother Wei Sanduo.

Suddenly Wei Sanduo, who was holding half a roast chicken, stared blankly.

"Didn't I tell you not to pick it up!?" Sister-in-law Wei said to him.

Wei Xiaolang salivated when he smelled the smell of roasted chicken, "Aunt Yin stuffed me! Mother! It's chicken! It smells like roasted chicken!"

Seeing that the three boys in her family were swallowing like hungry wolves, Sister-in-law Wei cursed angrily, "I'm still scrambling eggs today, I've never seen anything like meat!"

"But I gave Aunt Yin half a bowl of scrambled eggs, and there's only half left!" Wei Duoyin said, licking his lips.

Wei Sanduo hurriedly answered, "Then we'll send half a bowl of scrambled eggs instead of half a roast chicken! We've made a lot of money!"

Sister-in-law Wei tapped his little head, "Hurry up and eat!"

Seeing that she didn't say to send it back, the two brothers cried out happily, and even Wei Duojin, who was more gentle, pursed his lips and smiled happily, and went into the room to eat.

Wei Wulang turned around and ran home, and complained, "Obviously the second brother and we also helped find her, and gave half a roast chicken to others, and gave us nothing!"

"It's all my fault. They misunderstood us so that they have such a relationship with us. They would rather be friends with outsiders than see us anymore!" Liu Shi lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Wei Erlang went out to search for it, and now he was even more angry, "I will love her to death and love her life, don't care about her! Don't put a hot face on her cold ass!" Angrily, he turned and went into the kitchen to scoop up rice.

Wei Wulang grabbed Wei Rouniang's clothes and looked at Wei Xiucai with tears in his eyes, "I want to eat roast chicken too! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"When I sell this batch of embroidery work, I'll cook chicken for you! Be good!" Wei Rouniang coaxed him, rubbing his head.

Wei Xiucai's face was gloomy, and he couldn't bear the anger in his heart. Moreover, two sick people in the family had to take medicine every day, which cost money.He couldn't think of a way to rush for the exam now.The little money left in the family had to be thrown out, and seeing the bottom of the savings made him feel more and more anxious and angry.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Mrs. Liu knew that he had spent a lot of money recently. He panicked and sighed in a low voice, "Gu Yin is going to make a fuss about splitting up the family. A daughter's family doesn't care about their reputation. It’s not that she shared half of the biscuits, but if she made beef soup and biscuits, then Liu’s also had hers, and it was because we were afraid that we would take advantage of her that we hurriedly shared them out!”

When Wei Xiucai heard this, he thought of the courtyard house he built. He built it when he separated the family, but he still divided the main room into the east and west wing rooms several times, and built it with money.She covered it all in one breath, and it would definitely not work without a few dozen taels of silver.Damn little beast!
Especially when the food was served, looking at the food, and comparing it with what Wei Huayin did a few days ago, the anger in my heart became even greater.

"Gu Yin has never cooked before, but she suddenly showed her good cooking skills, and she thought it was honed by us, so she just got a bad name like this." Liu Shi put the chopsticks on him, and sighed again.

Others don't know this, but Wei Xiucai can be sure. He had never eaten or seen it before, and he slapped the table angrily, "Nonsense!"

In the small courtyard on the east side, a family of three came to the big room.

Mrs. Zhang was full of worry, "I'm afraid that something will happen to you two. You come back so late, it makes people anxious! Who knew that you went to the county town to sell snakes, and you didn't leave a word at home!"

Wei Huayin was eating with Fan Shi. On the table were boiled salted duck eggs, half a bowl of scrambled eggs, steamed wild vegetables, stir-fried cabbage hearts, half a torn roast chicken, and an opened box of pastries.

As Mrs. Zhang said, her eyes were already on the dining table, "But speaking of it, Gu Yin and Cui Gu were really lucky to catch the Coral Snake and Zhuyeqing, which can be sold for ten taels of silver! Gu also remembers to buy roast chicken and pastries, Cui Gu, this girl, only has sweets on her mind!"

Fan Shi took a sip of the pastry, it was very soft, glutinous and crispy. Knowing that she bought it according to her taste, she was quite moved. Seeing her say, "Gu Yin Gu specially bought the pastry for me, do you want to try it too?"

"Gu Yin bought it for your grandma? That's really a filial piety!" Mrs. Zhang went up and took four yuan, two for Cuigu and one for Boss Wei, and then said, "I'll try it. Just one piece!"

Wei Huayin glanced at the pastry box that was half missing, and ate quietly without saying a word.

Cuigu held the pastry and hurriedly said, "I bought chicken legs too, but Yingu doesn't want one, I'll go get it for grandma!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her daughter, and hated that iron could not be made into steel.

In this way, it is said that their family has chicken legs to eat, and there are more than one, and they haven't brought them yet!
Fan waved his hand, "I don't want to take it anymore, here it is! Keep it for you to eat!"

Mrs. Zhang is not only talking about it, but looking at what he bought, the focus is on the matter of catching snakes and dividing the money, "I can even share a little bit with Cuigu, I don't know how you divide it!?"

Wei Huayin put down her chopsticks, "Use mine for the snake catcher. If she finds it, she catches it. It's hers! If she finds it, she throws it out. If I don't catch it, give her half of it. No, share the hard money. And What question?"

Fan Shi also noticed it, couldn't help but frowned, and tilted Zhang Shi, "Don't go catching snakes! I said it! It's a fluke to score this time! Next time you are bitten, you will die!" Cui My aunt has been afraid of snakes since she was a child, so it's no wonder she caught them.Divide one or two half of the silver, and there are opinions!
Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, "I heard that he was carrying realgar powder and carrying herbs on his back!" He still wanted to go on, this day going up the mountain, if he was lucky, he could earn more than ten taels of silver, which was not comparable to that of a coolie!It's going to be a summer, and I won't make a fortune! ?
"Then you are not allowed to go! Will you take care of something?" Fan asked her back.

Boss Wei also responded to her words, "It's too dangerous, if you really want to be bitten, you will die! If you don't earn that money, you won't take that risk!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't know what to say, so she could only purse her lips, "Hurry up and go home for dinner! Mother-in-law's life can be lived well with Aunt Yin!" She said with a smile all over her face.

Wei Huayin took the duck eggs from Liu's house, she bought the roasted chicken pastries, and the roasted eggs were sent by Wei's sister-in-law just now.

What Fan's cooks is steamed wild vegetables and stir-fried cabbage hearts.Hearing her words, he couldn't help frowning.

Boss Wei also said to her when they left the door, "What did you say just now, it seems that mother is following us and suffering!"

Mrs. Zhang held her breath in her heart, "Where are you thinking! Mother-in-law is not willing to give up to Yin Gu! Just the two of us, and made a few dishes! When we were in our house, I never did it like this!"

Boss Wei frowned, "Didn't it mean that I have no skills and can't cook a few dishes!? People will hear me, and they will say that I am not filial."

Zhang was so angry that she didn't talk to him, and hurried home.

Cuigu was still biting the pastry, and then comforted Boss Wei, "Grandma won't say that!"

Boss Wei thought about his mother's temper and knew it, so he nodded, "You will be more filial to your grandma in the future! Your grandma took care of you!"

"Yeah! I will be filial to grandma!" Cui Gu nodded obediently.

The father and daughter followed Mrs. Zhang back home.

Some people are happy and some are annoyed.

Wei Huayin washed his face, applied scar cream, and finished soaking his feet.

Fan cleaned up the dishes and came over to tell her, "You are not allowed to go to the mountains! What is going to happen to you, your eldest sister will cry to death!"

Wei Huayin smiled, "It's okay, grandma! I don't like it either. After earning this part, I can do other things when I have the capital."

Seeing that Fan couldn't persuade her, she also thought that she was a little younger. Both Yugu and Liu Wang said that if Yingu was rich in building a house before, could it be that she caught snakes and sold them for money! ?

Having doubts in her heart, she asked, "Didn't your mother give you two silver ingots!?"

Wei Huayin responded, "I saved some too. So it's not dangerous. I bought realgar wine this time, and we'll wipe it on and we'll be fine!"

Fan still disagreed, and kept her at home, "Then you are not allowed to go! I will teach you how to embroider at home!"

"I also want to run in the morning, so it's okay! Running in the mountains is not only about catching snakes, but also can train your physical fitness and lose weight along the way. It's not just a boring exercise." Wei Huayin was determined, and he explained it to her in detail.

Seeing that she had indeed lost a lot of weight, Fan sighed, she didn't stop her, and gave a bunch of precautions.

Wei Huayin didn't go there every day either. The next day when he went up the mountain, it wasn't about catching snakes. His main task was to dig up the few flowers and plants he saw yesterday and plant them back home.

Wei Duoyin and a few boys also ran up the mountain, trying to catch snakes, when they ran into them, "Aunt Yin! How many snakes did you catch?"

The others saw that he was called Wei Huayin, a fat, dark and ugly guy who was so close to his aunt, so they didn't move forward.

"Just a cauliflower snake, did you catch it?" Cui Gu asked him curiously seeing how many people there were.

Wei Duoyin was a little embarrassed, "I met a cauliflower snake and we stoned it to death. It's too hard to catch!"

After warning in advance, Cui Gu sold the snake catcher without taking a single bite, "Oh! It's hard to catch! You have to be able to catch it!"
Wei Duoyin is smart, upon hearing this, he immediately came over, "Aunt Yin! What are you digging for? There are so many, let me carry them back for you!"

A few friends over there called him, "Wei Duoyin! Aren't you going to catch snakes with us?"

"I can't catch it anyway, I'll go next time!" Wei Duoyin wanted Wei Huayin to teach him a few tricks.

Several people looked at him, then at Wei Huayin, unwilling to play with him, turned around and left together.

Wei Xiaogui was left alone, his mother gave him two sweat towels when he moved in, he ate the food that Wei Huayin sent back, it was delicious, and he didn't have such a bad impression of Wei Huayin anymore.And he has always played well with Wei Duoyin.

Seeing that he stayed too, Wei Duoyin called him, "Xiaogui! Come and help!"

Wei Huayin didn't stop him, and saw that someone was helping, so he dug more, carried all of them home, and transplanted them in the yard.

"Aunt Yin! Why are you planting this! You want to grow flowers. My grandma has a lot of Impatiens and evening primroses. I'll get you some! Impatiens can also dye nails!" Wei Duoyin was curious.

"Mosquito repellent! Don't be bitten in summer." Wei Huayin told him.

Wei Duoyin nodded understandingly, seeing that she still left a large piece of land vacant, and surrounded the place with stone slabs in front of the windows, and the soil was turned up, so he picked up Wei Xiaogui and went out.

In the afternoon, I got four sacks and a basket, and pushed them over with a cart.

Seeing that Wei Huayin was at home, he laughed and explained, "I've been to Dr. Gu's house and saw that they have this. What about orchids? I found them on the mountain and dug them up!"

Wei Huayin saw that the bamboo basket was full of orchids, and the sack was full of Qilixiang and mosquito repellent.Looking at Wei Duoyin's clear and shining eyes again, there was a hint of expectation, "If you want to catch a snake, I can teach you a trick."

Wei Duoyin's eyes were filled with joy immediately, and then he reacted and held back, "Aunt Yin! I didn't learn to catch snakes to get this! These, I'll help you plant them!" Then he started to do it.

Wei Huayin hurriedly told him to put it down, she tidied up and planted by herself, "Help me get some water."

"Hey! Good!" Wei Duoyin quickly went to fetch water, and even asked Wei Xiaogui to carry the water together.

When Fan came back from the field, he saw that the yard had changed again, more and more plants were planted, "Can planting these really prevent mosquitoes?"

There were already a lot of mosquitoes at night, and the screens were hung in the room, so I didn't dare to open the door more.

"Yes!" Wei Huayin placed a row of mosquito repellent grass on the windows of her house, a few pots beside the bed, and a row under the eaves.

When I went to sleep at night, there were not so many mosquitoes, almost extinct.

"This really works! There are really no mosquitos buzzing anymore!" Fan Shi also became diligent about these things, moving out during the day and moving back to the house at night.

In Wei Huayin's small courtyard, everything he planted came alive, especially the morning glory that he planted casually, which has already covered a large area, making the entire small courtyard look lush and lush.

Wei Duoyin's heart was itchy, it's been two days, Aunt Yin taught him a trick, but he still hasn't said anything.

Mrs. Zhang also urged Cuigu, "When are you going to go again?"

"No!" As soon as Cui Gu had finished eating, Wei Huayin informed her and Wei Duoyin to prepare a dry meal.

Cui Gu was still there, but Mrs. Zhang became a little excited, and specially baked scallion pancakes and boiled two eggs, "Give one to Yin Gu, and you eat one!"

"Okay!" Cui Gu replied, took her things and went out.

Wei Duoyin took the vegetable roll buns, and Wei Xiaogui directly carried three miscellaneous noodles buns.

Wei Huayin was pinching rice balls and putting them in a bamboo box, looking at what the three of them were carrying, she pinched a few more.

Fan's worried and followed her instructions, "Be careful! Not only are there snakes and insects biting you, but it's easy to fall on the mountain, so don't go to steep places!"

"Understood!" Wei Huayin responded, leading the three behind him up the mountain.

 Sorry for being late today!Damn, it's almost April and it's still cold and snowy in spring, and I'm stunned to catch a cold~
