Chapter Twelve: Driving Away Snakes, Rats, Bugs and Ants

passed away last year."Yang Fan was stunned, her uncle had passed away No, she didn't have that memory.She asked, "Why wasn't I notified about my uncle's passing"Li Daye's voice became even stranger,...To my surprise, Yang Fan said, "Rent, I'll continue to rent."

Li Wenlin was taken aback, "Are you sure you want to rent"

Grandma Xu disapproved. "Why rent it Now, the things grown in the fields in the village can't even be eaten."

She could easily solve the problem of not being able to eat what she grew. With so many fruit trees readily available in the fields, and she could also find plenty of free labor.

Moreover, all the fruits that grow in this village are infused with spiritual energy. They are much more valuable than ordinary fruits.

Easily realize the dream of becoming a wealthy second generation.

Why wouldn't we rent it, rent it! Keep renting it!

Yang Fan insisted on his own opinion, “Rent, Uncle Li, I will continue to rent!”

"Yang Fan, those fruits that grow on the trees are really not good to eat!" Grandma Xu advised earnestly. "Your uncle has lost so much money over the years, and if you continue to rent it, you will keep losing money."

Li Wenlin also said, "Yes, Yang Fan, you have to think it through carefully. Your uncle's fruit trees haven't made a penny."

"Grandma Xu, Uncle Li, I understand what you're saying, thank you for thinking of me."

That's right!

Grandma Xu and Li Wenlin both thought their words had persuaded Yang Fan, but unexpectedly, she then spoke in a very firm voice.

"I learned some cultivation techniques in the city, I believe I can definitely grow delicious fruits!"

Grandma Xu: "..."

Li Wenlin: "..."

He really wanted to ask her, where did she get the confidence to guarantee she could grow edible fruit, when even top soil scientists and agricultural experts in the country couldn't solve the problem.

To avoid discouraging young people's enthusiasm, Li Wenlin took a roundabout approach, saying, "You still have another month of rent to pay. Consider this time period carefully."

"Tomorrow afternoon, please come to the village committee and find me. I'll show you the reports from the experts."

Yang Fan nodded. "Okay, thank you Li..."

"What are you waiting for, tomorrow Go today," Grandma Xu was an impatient person. "What are you waiting for tomorrow You young people always like to procrastinate."

Li Wenlin smiled helplessly, "Auntie, it's not that I won't let Yang Fan come today, I have something to do in the city today and won't be back until this afternoon."

What are you doing in the city

Li Wenlin: "I have something to do."

He needs to keep things confidential and not tell just anyone.

Seeing that he wouldn't say anything, Grandma Xu understood and didn't press further. "Alright, then you get busy. I'll accompany Yang Fan to find you the day after tomorrow,"

Li Wenlin: “Okay.”

The two of them agreed like that, Yang Fan couldn't get a word in.

Li Wenlin left. Yang Fan said she wanted to wander around the village alone, to see the trees her uncle had left behind. She asked Grandma Xu to go back first.

She first went to those fields across the way. There wasn't anyone around, and the weeds in those fields were almost as tall as her thighs.

She was holding a stick she picked up on the roadside, pushing aside the grass. Suddenly, a cobra emerged from the grass and lunged at her, its mouth wide open.

Yang Fan reacted quickly, bringing his stick down with a whooshing sound. The edge of the stick gleamed like a blade, instantly splitting the cobra in half as it fell into the grass.

Listening to the rustling sounds coming from the grass, she let out a cold snort and addressed the empty thicket in a frigid voice.

"You don't belong here, understand Go back to the mountains and stay out of sight. Otherwise, don't blame me if I end up using you all as ingredients for my liquor!"

As the words left his mouth, the staff slammed heavily into the ground. A powerful surge of energy, like waves crashing against the shore, rippled outwards, engulfing the entire village.

In a moment, the rustling in the grass grew louder.

If someone were to walk through the village right now, they would certainly see countless snakes, rats, insects, ants, wild chickens, weasels, and foxes all scurrying up the mountain.

"Oh! There's a snake!"

Aunt Zhang was carrying a basin of water out from the house when she looked up and saw a snake, as thick as her forearm, slithering over the wall from her yard and into the outside.

She was so scared that she dropped the basin in her hands, which crashed to the ground with a loud bang and splashed her all over with water.

When her husband heard the noise, he came out of their bedroom. "Xiumei, where's the snake"

Aunt Chang, whose full name is Zhang Xiumei, was completely white with fright. She pointed at the wall of the courtyard where the snake had slithered out and said, "Right there, I saw a very thick snake crawl out from there."

Damn it! When did that snake get into her yard, and for how long has it been there

When Zhang Xiumei thought about a snake being in the yard while she was unaware of it, she felt goosebumps all over.

Zhang's husband, Fu Yonghui, walked over and picked up a hoe. He walked along the wall, making a circle, and found a pit in the corner of the wall. The pit was round and large, clearly indicating that something had been there before.

"Good fellow, this is my home!"

Fu Yonghui vented his frustration by using a hoe to ram repeatedly into the pit. He then checked the area around the house thoroughly, inside and out, making sure there were no snakes before finally relaxing.

Auntie Zhang was still not at ease. “You should still go to the street and buy some arsenic powder, and also some insecticide and mosquito coils.”

With fewer people in the village, mosquitoes have proliferated.

She is the kind of person who attracts mosquitoes. She suffers terribly every summer.

“Do you remember to buy some good mosquito repellent Last year, yours didn't work very well.”

"And also, Yangyang's delivery arrived, remember to pick it up for him."

Fu Yonghui agreed to everything, he was just a little confused, “How did Yangyang’s gifts get sent back”

Yangyang is his eldest daughter's son and he is five years old.

In the past, I would just stay for a few days and go back, only bringing a small suitcase. This time, why did you even ship your luggage back

"Chang Xiu Mei: "Cannan's mother-in-law and father-in-law are in the hospital, Jiahao is on a business trip again, and Yangyang doesn't have anyone to look after him, so Yangyang brought him over for us to take care of for a few days."

Fu Yonghui exclaimed in surprise, "How could you not tell me about such an important matter!"

"Is it even worth telling you They live so far away. Are you going to go all the way there to take care of her in-laws"

Zhang Xiumei impatiently pushed him towards the door. “Hurry up and buy the things back.”

How could he only just now find out about something so important

Fu Yonghui rode his tricycle towards town with a gloomy face.

After he left, Zhang Xiumei was still not at ease. She took her hoe and went to check each house again, fearing that there might be snakes hiding inside.

Other elderly people were sitting in the yard, basking in the sun and chatting, not noticing what was happening around them at all.

Old Man Li had been riding his tricycle all morning and just now sat down to eat breakfast. He asked Old Mrs. Xu, "Has Yang Fan had breakfast yet"

"I've finished eating," said Grandma Xu, "After breakfast, I went with her to visit Xiuwen."

She told her grandfather about what would happen when she met Li Wenlin, and at the end, she still said to her grandfather with worry: "Those lands continue to be a loss if we rent them. You also go and persuade Yang Fan later so that she doesn't continue renting those lands."ople ask him to take them for a ride.Yang Fan understood and began to eat the stir-fried noodles, lowering his head.The fried noodles were both fragrant and spicy, she ate them one after another, and...
