C19 (1/2)

Who said an honest person was slow on the uptake?

Zhang Cheng was smart like a fox, he could even see through a flaw that the Widow Chen couldn't see through with a glance.

Not only did he see through it, he even helped clean up the mess. In the blink of an eye, he had already cleaned up all the grass and mud in the wardrobe.

Closing the wardrobe door, Zhang Cheng turned around and saw that Jiang Xiaobai was still standing there in a daze.

”To where?” Jiang Xiaobai's mind was in a mess.

”Help Yuzhu skin the snake!” Zhang Cheng pushed Jiang Xiaobai away and said: ”Yuzhu is most afraid of snakes. She must be worrying at the kitchen right now.”

Jiang Xiaobai said embarrassedly: ”Uncle Cheng, you … Why does it seem more and more unlike a father-in-law? ”

Zhang Cheng sighed, and said: ”You're right, ever since Dabao passed away, I am no longer Yuzhu's father-in-law, I am her father!”

Isn't that different?

Zhang Cheng continued to speak, ”Yesterday, Yuzhu and I discussed this. If she were to remarry, I would arrange everything like marrying a daughter.”

So it was like this!

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but be moved. To have this kind of awareness that he had lived in a mountain village his entire life, it was really too rare.

”My son is gone. If I could have another daughter as filial as Yuzhu, and a son-in-law that I find pleasing to look at, I would be satisfied!” Zhang Cheng's turbid eyes emitted a rare light, and lightly patted Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder, and then took the opportunity to push him again.

Jiang Xiaobai subconsciously left the bedroom and headed towards the small kitchen in the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaobai walked fifteen to sixteen meters behind for more than ten seconds, but his mind was in a mess. He always wanted to grab onto something, but in the end, he could not get a single clue.

In the kitchen, the huge snake had completely stopped struggling and was quietly lying on the chopping board.

Widow Chen held her kitchen knife, looking at the big snake, she didn't know how to make a move.

”Sister-in-law, let me do it!” Jiang Xiaobai walked over and used the kitchen knife to first cut a hole in the snake skin and retreat a bit. Then, he used his left hand to grab onto the snake's body, his right hand to grab onto the snake skin as he exerted strength in his arms.

When Jiang Xiaobai was young, he caught a snake and he knew how to skin the snake.

However, the snake was too big, it seemed like it had just shed its skin, and the snake skin was especially close to the snake meat. Jiang Xiaobai tried to use his strength three times, but he could only move less than ten centimeters.

”I'm holding this place!” A pair of white, delicate hands stretched over, and took the snake body from Jiang Xiaobai's left hand.

”Hold on tight!” Jiang Xiaobai confirmed that Widow Chen had grabbed onto the snake's body, and then, he grabbed onto the snake's skin with both of his hands and gradually increased his strength.

The collaboration between the two became much smoother as expected.

As the two gradually increased their strength, the snake skin began to peel off their clothes.

Very quickly, a five to six kilogram pink skinned snake appeared in Widow Chen's hands.

”Don't move!” Jiang Xiaobai realized that there was something the size of a pigeon egg in the middle of the snake meat, he knew that it was snake gall and immediately took it off, saying: ”Sister-in-law, take some wine to soak in it for Uncle Cheng's eyes.”

”I know!” Widow Chen placed the snake gall into a teacup and said while she went inside, ”This is none of your business. You can go home now.”

”Go home?” Jiang Xiaobai was startled.

The Widow Chen unhappily said: ”It's only two o'clock, do you really want to drink here?”

”Yes sir!” Jiang Xiaobai walked toward the door in a sorry state.

”You don't have to come in the evening. Once the snake meat is stewed, I'll send half of it to you. My father is worrying for nothing, so don't take his words seriously. ” Widow Chen stood in front of the chopping board and said: ”Also, if you dare sneak into my wardrobe again, no matter what reason you're looking for, I'll definitely treat you with a kitchen knife right away!”
