I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 27



Chapter 27: Ahhh! Snake!

After returning to the Earth Temple, Ji Zhao, who was leaning against the wall, seriously thought about how to earn money.

Now that it had been a year of drought, only the villagers of Shanghe Village, which was by the river, had a slightly better life. At least, every family could barely fill their stomachs.

The other villages were plagued by the drought.

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and piously knelt in front of the statue of the Earth God.

“Earth God, please be merciful and plead with the Dragon King. Send the rain earlier!”

Ji Zhao knew that summoning the wind and rain was not within the jurisdiction of the Earth God, but she still kowtowed three times to the Earth Elder with a pious heart.

After resting in the Earth Temple, Ji Zhao prepared to go out and take a look to see if she could catch more wild chickens.

After walking 2 to 2.5 kilometers to the east, she only saw barren mountains.

Ji Zhao sighed dejectedly.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Just as Ji Zhao was about to stop and rest, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She caught a glimpse of the swaying reeds ahead and held her breath as she cautiously approached-

When she saw it clearly, she was completely dumbfounded!

A thick scarlet snake opened its bloody mouth and quickly bit a wild chicken’s neck!

The wild chicken was still struggling in pain, flapping its feathers all over the ground!

In the end, the wild chicken gradually gave up struggling.

Ji Zhao picked up a sharp rock from the ground and seized the opportunity to rush forward!

The snake died before it could swallow the entire chicken.

Ji Zhao panted heavily and pulled the wild chicken out of the snake’s mouth.

In the end, she coiled the dead snake and put it into the cloth bag on her body.

The snake gallbladder was a treasure. Perhaps it could be exchanged for some silver.

At dusk, smoke rose from every household in Shanghe Village.

Ji Zhao carried her full basket and arrived at the Shen residence again.

Zhao Lanhua was feeding the chickens in the courtyard. When she heard Ji Zhao’s voice, she quickly responded.

“Mother, I found a lot of wild shepherd’s purse!” Ji Zhao hurriedly put down the basket on his back and said happily, “I also found a wild hawthorn tree in the back of the mountain!”

“Come and wash your face!” Seeing her sweating profusely, Zhao Lanhua smiled and greeted her.

“Aye!”

Ji Zhao hurriedly washed her face and instantly felt refreshed.

“Mother, what kind of luck does Ah Tao have? I also went to the back mountain with Aunt Guihua in the afternoon, but I didn’t find anything.” Second Sister-in-law Shen stared at the basket full of shepherd’s purse enviously.

Zhao Lanhua frowned thoughtfully.

Wasn’t Ah Tao’s luck too good?

“Mother, shall we make dumplings with shepherd’s purse filling?” Second Sister-in-law Shen suggested with a smile.

“Okay,” Zhao Lanhua agreed.

“Mother, can you bring me to the county tomorrow?” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and still said her plea.

“To the county? To do what?”

“I want to sell the snake,” Ji Zhao said with a bright smile as she lowered her head and took out the dead snake from the cloth bag.

“Ahhhh! Snake!”

Second Sister-in-law Shen was most afraid of snakes. She screamed in horror!

“Second Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. I’ve already killed this snake!” Ji Zhao gestured anxiously. “If you don’t believe me, touch it. It’s already cold…”

“Stop!” Shen Erlang, who had just returned home, heard his wife’s scream and rushed into the kitchen. Without a word, he threw away the snake in Ji Zhao’s hand and raised his arm to beat her up. “You vicious woman, how dare you scare my wife with a snake!”

Ji Zhao subconsciously raised her arm to dodge, but the slap she had expected did not land.
