Chapter 1817: Everyone’s Afraid of Snakes “What, a snake?” Qiao Anxin and Little Xiao were also shocked and quickly jumped. They almost fell into the field.

When the others heard that there were snakes in the field, they also jumped.

Everyone was afraid of snakes.

“Song Ke, you said there was a snake in the field. Did you see it?” Shen Fei’s face was pale.

“Yes.” Song Ke’s eyes were brimming with tears as she recalled the scene. “I caught it just now. It scared me. Sister Fei, I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m afraid.”

Shen Fei kept quiet.

She was afraid of snakes, too.

If there was really a snake in the field, she wouldn’t dare to go down.

Just as she was wondering if she should talk to Zhao Yuan about this, she heard Han Yan’s voice. “Song Ke, is this the snake you’re talking about?”

Shen Fei turned around and saw that Han Yan was still struggling.

When Song Ke saw the thing in Han Yan’s hand, she turned pale and screamed again. “It’s... it’s that snake. It’s too scary.”

Han Yan was speechless. “This isn’t a snake, this is an eel. Song Ke, don’t be so shocked, I’m about to have a heart attack.”

Only then did Shen Fei see that Han Yan was holding an eel.

She looked at it for a while and was a little speechless. She rubbed her brows and said, “Song Ke, is this what you saw just now?”

“Y-Yes.” Song Ke was tearing up.

Shen Fei took a deep breath. “This isn’t a snake.”

“B-But it looks like a snake. It’s disgusting.” Song Ke bit her lip. Her eyes were red and her face was pale. “Sister Fei, I-I don’t want to go down anymore. I’m really afraid.”

Shen Fei frowned.

She saw that Qiao Mianmian had already dug out a lotus root, and their progress...

She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. “Alright, then you’ll be in charge of packing. You know how to do this, right?”

“Yes, yes.” Song Ke agreed quickly.

“That’s it, then.” Shen Fei turned around helplessly and said to the others, “It was a false alarm. Everyone, continue working.”

Shen Fei’s progress wasn’t as good as Qiao Mianmian’s.

Now that there was one less person, it was even worse.

Two hours later.

Qiao Mianmian’s harvest was delightful. The five of them dug a whole cart full of lotus roots, and all of them were of good size and quality. Even the boss of the field praised them and said that they did very well.

Meanwhile...

Shen Fei’s situation was terrible.

The lotus roots they dug out were less than half of Qiao Mianmian’s.

Moreover, the quality was far inferior. They were all very small, and many of the lotus roots were broken.

The boss looked over. Although he didn’t say anything, he didn’t look too good.

Lotus roots were very expensive.

...

Next was to sell the lotus roots in town.

The two teams took their “spoils” to the market in the town.

Qiao Mianmian got Zhan Bo and the rest to carry the basket full of lotus roots out of the car. They found a stall and sat down.

After washing the lotus roots, they looked white and tender. They were big and fresh, and the price wasn’t high. Soon, the business opened.
