He Huanxi came to the house in the village that raised snakes and knocked on the door outside.

The sun was scorching in broad daylight, and the people who did farm work returned home to rest, and when they saw a strange little girl in He Huanxi, they couldn't help but look at it curiously.

One of the villagers seemed to recognize He Huanxi, and couldn't help asking, "Are you the daughter of He Kang's family?" ”

He Huanxi was still banging on the door, and when he heard this, he looked over and smiled: "Yes, Auntie, I am from He Kang's family, my name is He Huanxi!" ”

"It turned out to be He Kang's family, what are you doing when you come back, is He Kang going back to the village?"

"She's so handsome, just like your mother!"

"I heard that Brother He Kang is sick and hospitalized, is he okay?"

As soon as his father He Kang developed, he helped the village build roads, and also donated a large amount of money to the village committee to repair some small pavilions for the elderly in the village to play.

The people in the village respect He Kang very much, and even they are kind to He Huanxi.

He Huanxi responded one by one, and his voice was crisp and refreshing, which made people feel atmospheric when they heard it.

"Thank you uncles and aunts for your concern, my father is in good health and has been discharged from the hospital, this time I am the only one who comes back, I want to buy some snakes to make snake soup, and my dad to replenish his body!"

"This house is generally not there during the day, and they all go into the mountains to block snakes, and snakes do not like to haunt during the day, so they are easier to catch." There are villagers who have a road.

He Huanxi had a touch of disappointment in his eyes, did he want to return in vain today?

At this moment, a villager said: "Didn't the second head of the snake household go into the mountains to catch snakes today, and call him to come and open the door!" ”

"Yes, go call someone, just now I saw him watching people play cards at the bridge cave in the village!"

The villagers were very enthusiastic, and after a while, the second head of the family, that is, the second brother of the main family, was called over.

The person who came was called He Hongxi, and he was a little thin.

He Huanxi looked at his hands, they were very slender, and there were thick layers of calluses on his fingertips, and he was an expert snake catcher at a glance.

He Hongxi has no impression of He Huanxi, but he has also heard of He Kang's reputation, and knows that he is a rich man, and he is good for the village, and even has a good attitude towards He Huanxi.

He is a person who does not smile, and after seeing He Huanxi, a smile appeared on his face, "You want to buy snakes?" ”

He Huanxi came up with the same rhetoric to deal with the villagers.

He Hongxi nodded, "It just so happened that I caught a few good varieties of snakes in the past few days, whether it is used for stewed snake soup or soaked in wine, it is good, I will take you to take a look." ”

As soon as he opened the door, He Huanxi saw the scene inside, which was densely packed with snakes.

Some snakes are put in cages, and the snakes are relatively large and brighter in color than other snakes, and they look more ferocious and venomous.

Some snakes are not locked, their bodies are more slender, and they are illuminated by the sun, and they do not climb, so they lazily huddle in specially built pergolas.

The snakes were indifferent to the sight of someone coming in, but the snake in the cage was eager to try, raising its head as if it was about to attack at any moment, and making a slight "hissing" sound.

Bang!

He Huanxi turned his head to take a look and found that He Hongxi had closed the door after coming in.

He explained: "Although the snakes we raise are basically non-venomous, the villagers are still very scared when they see them, and some elderly people are also very afraid of snakes, so our family has always closed the door, and the business is also closed, don't be afraid, the snakes placed outside the yard are not poisonous." ”

During the famine in the Xia Dynasty, He Huanxi caught a lot of snakes to eat, and naturally recognized the varieties of these snakes, which were indeed non-poisonous.

And at that time, she also caught and ate a lot of poisonous snakes, and she was not afraid of snakes at all.

He Huanxi said: "Uncle Hongxi, I still want to catch a few snakes to use as pets, do you have any snakes here that look scary on the outside, but in fact there is no poison." ”

He Hongxi immediately said: "Red Chain Snake, it looks quite scary on the outside, but it is actually not poisonous." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at He Huanxi several times and asked, "You are a delicate little girl, why do you want to raise snakes as pets, don't you all have cats and dogs now?" ”

He Huanxi smiled casually: "It's okay to raise a cat, it's too squeamish, and you can take care of the house if you raise a dog, but they don't have snakes to look mighty." If I take a snake out of the house, the snake can be my bodyguard! ”

He Hongxi laughed, he is a snake breeder, and he naturally likes snakes more than other pets.

Everyone in the village can do it, but it's a little bad, I'm afraid of snakes!

He caught a lot of powerful snakes, and he didn't know who to turn to.

Immediately, He Hongxi proposed to add He Huanxi's WeChat, and when he caught a powerful snake in the future, he gave her one as a pet!

As for the one in the yard, whatever she picks, she can give her any one.

He Huanxi gave him a thumbs up: "The atmosphere of the second master, so let's buy twenty snakes first, and you pick some that are not poisonous, but wild and untamable, and more clever." ”

He Hongxi was not surprised by this request, in fact, many people came to his house to buy snakes, and they basically said that they wanted to pick a clever one.

But snakes are different from other animals, not that the more lively they are, the fresher they are, there is a saying: dogs that bite don't bark!

The same is true of snakes, the more motionless the snake, the more you want to provoke it, it will definitely look good!

But she wants to be wild and untamable, this is easy to find, just give her the one who has just been caught for a short time.

He Huanxi entered the snake household empty-handed, and came out again, carrying a large snakeskin bag with 22 snakes in it.

He Hongxi saw that she bought 20 pieces at a time, so he gave her another 2 small ones.

As soon as she got outside, she saw the villagers sitting outside staring at her from time to time, as if they were discussing something.

He Huanxi quietly walked to a commissary and bought a bottle of water to drink.

"Yes, their third uncle and third aunt came back to the village some time ago, saying that they were going to talk about a family affair for the eldest brother's daughter, and they were talking about the Zhuangtian family in the next village!"

"That Zhuang Tian has been married several times, and every time he broke up, his eldest daughter is so beautiful, why should he marry Zhuang Tian?"

"It is said that something happened to the family, there is no money, and the money of the Zhuang Tian family is needed!"

"Tsk, what kind of shit luck did this dealer, he actually encountered a demolition, and he got several suites in the city at once, and became the richest household in the village!"

"I heard that Zhuang Tian's family was very poor before, and the family who quit his relatives came to the door again after that, saying that his daughter had a relationship with Zhuang Tian and wanted Zhuang Tian to be responsible, what do you guess Zhuang Tian's family said?"

"They said that it was posted upside down on the door, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing! Stick it to him, and he doesn't want it! ”

When He Huanxi heard this, there was a fire in his heart, this Luo Huixin and He Forging were really uneasy and kind!

When did she say that she was going to get engaged to Zhuang Tian, for fear that other people would not know about it, and she shouted everywhere.

Why, is it good to use public opinion to persecute her when the time comes?

Oh, it's beautiful to think about!

He Huanxi suddenly walked over, handed the few bottles of milk drinks he bought in his hand to the villagers sitting outside, and said with a smile:

"Auntie, just now I heard you say that the Zhuang Tian family is engaged to me, what's going on?"

The aunts took the drink, and their faces were a little embarrassed when they heard this, but they quickly regained their calm, turned over and asked curiously: "What your third uncle and third aunt said in the village before, many people have heard it, don't you know?" ”

He Huanxi said crisply: "I don't know, my parents didn't mention this to me!" ”

"That's strange, your third uncle and third aunt also said that they helped you talk, how could you not know?"

He Huanxi rolled his eyes and said: "It may be talked about in private, don't dare to tell me, for fear that I will make trouble, after all, you also know, the Zhuangtian family is not very good, just a few dollars, and the character is not good." ”

"But, but this marriage event can't be hidden from you!"

He Huanxi smiled on his face, but the words he said were shocking!

"My parents don't know, something happened to our family this year, and we owe a sum of money to the third uncle and three aunts, they may think that we can't pay the money, so they quietly talk to me to others, so that they can sell me when the time comes!"

The aunts looked at each other, "This, this ......"

It's hard for them to say anything.

There has always been only parents who sell their daughters, and I haven't heard that uncles and aunts can still be the masters and sell the daughters of the eldest brother's family!

He Huanxi said: "Auntie, the so-called fixed relatives don't even know about my parents, the third uncle and the third aunt are shouting everywhere, they are uneasy and kind, and they can't be the master of my marriage." ”

"I don't know what they said to the outside world, but please hear someone say that I have a marriage contract with Zhuang Tian, please help me clarify, I don't know about this marriage, and I don't recognize it."

"They are uncles and aunts, not my parents, and if they want to talk, my parents will come to talk in person, they don't count, and I am not their daughter!"

There is usually no entertainment in the village, and the women are bored, so they like to chew their mouths.

What happened to each family today, tomorrow the whole village will know.

He Huanxi suddenly released such a big melon, and these village women looked at each other, and their faces were very embarrassed, but their hearts were happy.

They said, He Kang's family is so rich, how could he marry his daughter to Zhuangtian's family, the son of that family is so ugly!

And since it's time to get married, why are there three uncles and three aunts everywhere going to Zhang Luo, and I haven't seen the woman's parents come forward.

Originally, they thought that the daughter of He Kang's family was ugly, and no one wanted to marry Zhuang Tian because of that, but today I saw He Huanxi, isn't it quite handsome?

Ha, He Forging and Luo Huixin are the third uncles and third aunts of other people, and they actually want to hide from their eldest brother in private and sell their eldest brother's daughter!

What kind of grudge is this, to do such a profit-seeking thing!

He Huanxi bought several large boxes of drinks and gave them to the aunts present one by one, almost emptying the inventory of the commissary.

She also sold a few more barrels of oil, one for each person, and said very solemnly: "Auntie, although I don't know why the third uncle and third aunt did this to ruin my reputation, but I am a girl's family, and I will marry someone in the future!" ”

"I don't want my future husband to know that I was actually engaged, I clearly don't even know about this marriage, and I ask you to clarify more when you hear someone mention this matter in the future."

"Anything Luo Huixin and He Forging do has nothing to do with me, unless my parents come to visit relatives in person, otherwise they don't talk about anything!"

With short hands and soft mouths, the aunts in the village nodded busily.

Before leaving, someone specially asked He Huanxi: "Why does your family owe money to your third uncle and third aunt?" ”

He Huanxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he told the matter as it was.

She is not afraid that the third uncle and three aunts will deny it, it is written in black and white on the contract, the third uncle and three aunts are not willing to take any risks, they will share the money if they make money, and even if they lose money, they will be their family!

All the good project funds were swept away, or the partners introduced by the third uncle and three aunts!

Originally, the villagers still wondered why He Huanxi's third uncle and third aunt had so many hands and took care of the marriage of the eldest brother and daughter.

When I hear it now, I can't help but be in an uproar.

Shameless, shameless!

The first shameless in Hejia Village can be given to these two people!
