Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Dividing the Flesh Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Dividing the Flesh Big Bull held the sickle, first peeled off the snake skin in one piece, then chopped the snake meat into segments, scattering them all over the ground.
“Big Bull, what are you doing?” Xuexue asked curiously.
“Killing the snake!”
“Oh!”
Usually, she was the one doing this task, so she was somewhat unaccustomed to Big Bull taking initiative today.
“Isn’t the wife afraid of snakes? It’s better to let Big Bull handle this,” Big Bull said while swinging his sickle arm, chopping several more pieces of snake meat.
Xuexue felt a warm feeling inside; despite Big Bull’s usual silliness, he was the one who understood her and cared for her the most.
The villagers gathered around to watch the excitement were only about fifteen or twenty. Feeling happy, Xuexue exclaimed, “Uncles, aunties, today Big Bull and I caught a big python in the mountain. As you all have seen, this snake is huge, weighing more than a hundred pounds. Considering how everyone has looked after my daughters and me, I will give each person a piece to try some fresh snake meat today.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately became joyful. So watching the excitement also meant a chance to gain something! Thus, they rushed forward one after another.
Xuexue loudly said, “Line up, no rush, one piece each.”
The villagers each took a piece of snake meat, no longer interested in the spectacle, and headed home excitedly to share the good news with their families.
Indeed, usually eating only vegetables, having meat to eat today was enough to make them ecstatic.
After distributing a small portion of the snake meat, there was still a large portion left. Seeing the masons hesitating as if they wanted to speak, Xuexue understood they also wanted some but were too embarrassed to ask while working here.
“Big Bull, wait a moment, give each of the masons and the aunties who cook a piece of snake meat,” Xuexue said loudly, making the masters cheerful. That would make them work even harder.
Indeed, as soon as the mason masters heard this, they were very happy and thanked her loudly, thinking of letting their families back home try some too.
Mo Xiuzhi and Mo Shaoxing came over.
“Xuexue, everyone said you were distributing snake meat here, so I came to get some for our grandparents,” Xiuzhi said, her usual haughty demeanor replaced by a gentle and polite one.
Xuexue knew it was because Mo Shaoxing was there; she was just putting on an act.
“Oh! That! Sorry, we’ve already run out, we don’t even have enough for ourselves,” Xuexue deliberately said.
“You…!”
Xiuzhi’s face contorted with anger, but then she remembered her beloved was beside her. She took a deep breath, suppressing her rage, and said, “Xuexue, you’re being too unfilial, even the village dogs and cats get a share, but you ignore your own father and grandparents, is this how you honor your parents?”
A heavy accusation of unfilial conduct was cast upon her.
Recently, Xiuzhi had grown smarter, knowing how to use roundabout tactics.
