The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 78 - 76: Xiao Chenye’s Return & Eating Snake Meat

Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Xiao Chenye’s Return & Eating Snake Meat

Wen Ran woke up again, lying in Xiao Chenxing’s room.

Xiao Chenxing pushed the door open, saw the bewildered Wen Ran, cheered, and rushed outside, "Mom! Bro! Sister Xiao Wen is awake."

Wen Ran propped herself up to sit, and when Xiao Chenxing returned, she helped her up and asked carefully, "Sister Xiao Wen, are you okay?"

She and her mom had already checked Sister Xiao Wen’s body and confirmed she hadn’t been bitten by a snake, not even a scratch on her.

She just didn’t know why she fainted.

It was fine until Xiao Chenxing asked, which gave Wen Ran goosebumps.

She didn’t feel weak at all, jumped off the kang without even bothering to wear shoes, and ran barefooted to the yard.

On the way, she rudely bumped into a poor soul.

Hmm, it was Xiao Chenye.

She squatted down and vigorously scrubbed her hands. Seeing this, Xiao Chenye sighed helplessly and went into the house to get soap.

Wen Ran scrubbed for a while but still had goosebumps.

"That’s enough."

Xiao Chenye reached out, pinched her sleeve, and said with a smile, "If you keep scrubbing, you’ll rub your skin off."

Wen Ran was still a bit terrified, and she carefully observed Xiao Chenye, whom she hadn’t seen in half a month.

Xiao Chenye’s ears turned a bit red, and he rubbed his ears uncomfortably, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing," Wen Ran laughed, "just haven’t seen you in a while, checking if you’ve changed."

She was calm and composed, and Xiao Chenye, not wanting to be outdone, stood tall and lifted his chin, "Well, take a look, have I changed?"

Change?

Wen Ran stood up and walked around Xiao Chenye twice.

She wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but Xiao Chenye seemed to have grown taller, tanned, and stronger.

"Hmm, you’ve gotten fatter."

After pondering for a moment, Wen Ran gave a definitive answer.

Xiao Chenye: "..."

His face darkened, "Hey! Not at all, I’m not fat, I’m strong, you know? Strong!"

Wen Ran burst out laughing.

Seeing the two in the yard talking happily, Mrs. Xiao, who had just taken a step, pulled back, not only that, she covered her daughter’s mouth and led Xiao Chenxing to the kitchen.

Xiao Chenxing: "?"

She blinked, looked at her sneaky mother, and whispered, "What’s up, mom?"

The stove was burning vigorously, and the bubbling steam brought a unique aroma of snake meat.

The unfortunate big snake had already been cut in half, put into the pot, and turned into a fragrant stew.

Xiao Chenxing felt like she understood her mother’s intention and incredulously said, "Mom, no way!"

Sharing a private meal with her?

Although she was grateful for her mother’s love, this ethos absolutely should not spread at home!

Absolutely not!

Mrs. Xiao: "?"

She glanced at her daughter, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Chenxing was anxious and stomped her feet, "Not that I’m saying, how can you do this? It’s not good to breach trust!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and, considering Xiao Chenxing was her youngest, just tapped her shoulder, "You little rascal, what are you thinking?

Do you think your mother is that kind of person?"

Xiao Chenxing giggled, "Ah? Then why bring me in here?"

"Didn’t you see?"

Mrs. Xiao gestured with her mouth, indicating Xiao Chenxing to look at the yard.

Standing inside were a handsome man and a pretty woman, looking a perfect match!

If Xiao Chenxing went over now, it would clearly be disrupting them.

Xiao Chenxing squinted at Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, let me say something from the heart, don’t get mad."

If it were before, she thought Sister Xiao Wen and her brother matched well.

But after interacting, and looking more closely...

Well, she thought Sister Xiao Wen could find someone better.

After all, her brother is a bit cheeky and ugly, although he loves her, but to be fair, he’s often away, driving trucks for weeks. She wouldn’t willingly marry someone hardly home.

Xiao Chenxing counted on her fingers, Sister Xiao Wen is pretty, capable, and kind-hearted. During her time in the countryside, she saved many people and helped salvage the team’s harvest!

Even a fairy would suit her!

She opened her mouth to speak, but Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly and pulled out a baked sweet potato from under the stove, stuffing it into Xiao Chenxing’s mouth without a word.

"Keep those heartfelt words of yours to yourself, I don’t want to hear them," Mrs. Xiao said.

The sweet potato just pulled from under the stove was hot.

Xiao Chenxing flailed around, trying to save her mouth while holding the scorching sweet potato, howling in distress.

In the courtyard, Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran’s gazes were both drawn over, seeing teary-eyed Xiao Chenxing.

Wooo, so wronged.

Mrs. Xiao remained unfazed, "Look how greedy this child is, stuffing hot sweet potatoes into her mouth."

The topic swiftly changed as Wen Ran smiled and asked Xiao Chenye, "Are you leaving again after this return?"

"I won’t be doing long hauls anymore, resting a few days before a short trip. That should be it for this year."

"Good."

The Xiao Family had snake meat for lunch, and Bao Wenxuan came over too, as she also had a hand in catching the snake.

Wen Ran dared not touch it, and Mrs. Xiao respected her, knowing she feared such things, so she made her stir-fried sausage to eat with pancakes.

Bao Wenxuan was quite scared as well, disgusted by the idea of snake meat, but...

The enticing aroma wasn’t fake.

After much hesitation, Bao Wenxuan closed her eyes, picked a piece of snake meat, and popped it into her mouth. Fresh, tender, the texture was unique, even better than dry pork.

A sip of the broth, and that little taste was truly wonderful.

So, Wen Ran watched Bao Wenxuan go from initial reluctance to thoroughly enjoying the dish.

Wen Ran: "???"

Oh my? Really that good?

She hesitated, the cool, slimy feel of the snake scales appeared in her mind, this...

"If you can’t eat, don’t. I’ll move it for you," Xiao Chenye said.

"No..." Wen Ran stopped Xiao Chenye from moving it, took a deep breath, and picked a piece of snake meat, remembering the effort to catch it. She felt it would be a waste not to eat it.

Moreover, Silly Deer Team was built around the mountains, where snakes were common.

If every encounter with a snake scared her to death, it might cause trouble.

After much consideration, Wen Ran finally picked up the chopsticks.

Snake meat was tender, cooked white, and she gazed at it for a while before slowly putting it into her mouth.

Watching her chew slowly, Mrs. Xiao was on edge.

Xiao Chenye also frowned, "If you don’t like it, just spit it out."

Wen Ran didn’t spit it out; she swallowed it and smiled, "It’s pretty good, the meat is firm and chewy."

The Xiao Family erupted in cheers, and the delicious sausage quickly lost Wen Ran’s exclusive favor; her resistance, acceptance, and liking all happened over one meal.

After eating, Wen Ran felt she could add one more dish to her menu.
