After washing up in the evening, when Su Yan was feeding Xiaobao, Zhu Bin came in. He did not avoid her as usual, but walked over naturally and touched Xiaobao's face.

He smiled and said, "Xiaobao has grown very well recently, thank you."

Su Yan: "Thank me for what?"

Zhu Bin: "Thank you for accepting my family and being willing to..."

Zhu Bin didn't say anything else, but Su Yan understood what he meant.

Willing to live a good life with him, treat their children well, and stop torturing people all day long.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Some things, once you figure them out, you don't need anyone to persuade you, you'll be fine on your own."

Zhu Bin: "Well, I know you will change, I have been waiting."

Su Yan: "Thank you too."

Zhu Bin: "Thank you for what?"

Su Yan: "Thank you for your tolerance of me, thank you for not giving up on me."

Zhu Bin: "What are you talking about? From the day you married me, I never thought about separating from you. I told myself in my heart that I would treat you well in the future. I just feel that I am too useless and cannot give you the life you want. It's good enough that you don't despise me."

Su Yan: "Life is lived by two people. I used to rely on others and pin my hopes on others. In fact, if you want to live a good life, you have to work hard yourself. I was very happy when I went hunting with you last time. As long as we work hard, we can live a good life."

Zhu Bin: "Well, I will work hard to create better living conditions for you and your daughter."

Su Yan burst out laughing, and then said: "You are not the only one working hard, I also want to work hard with you. How about going hunting in the mountains again tomorrow, I will go with you?"

Zhu Bin was a little hesitant. Recently, his family had been eating meat frequently and they were going there to send things, which had already attracted attention. If he went up the mountain to hunt again, he was afraid that people would gossip about him.

Su Yan saw his worry and whispered, "Don't worry, we can pick more wild vegetables to cover it. We can just keep a low profile when eating delicious food in the future. No one else will find out what we have caught."

Seeing that she was eager to try, Zhu Bin couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he agreed reluctantly.

Let others say whatever they want. You can't mistreat yourself just because you are afraid of gossip.

The next day, Zhu Bin worked half a day, earned eight work points, and then asked for leave in the afternoon.

Su Yan fed Xiaobao as usual and then handed him to Zhu Zhen, then followed Zhu Bin, each carrying a backpack up the mountain.

This time, the two were familiar with the route and walked all the way into the mountains.

Su Yan had very sharp eyes, and even those newly grown mushrooms could not escape her eyes.

We picked mushrooms as we walked, and we had a great harvest just from picking mushrooms.

Once you get to the edge of the mountains, you'll see more small animals.

There are also many footprints around, it seems that people who have recently gone up the mountain have started to walk further in.

Zhu Bin walked in front and took the initiative to step on the dead branches and barbs on the roadside, trying his best to prevent Su Yan from being scratched by these things.

Not long after walking, Su Yan suddenly heard a hissing sound. She instinctively determined the direction of the sound and guessed what it was.

It happened in a flash. Without thinking, Su Yan threw the machete in his hand towards the source of the sound.

With a bang, a snake as thick as a baby's wrist was nailed to the ground by Su Yan, hitting it right on the vital point.

The snake's tail was still wiggling, so it wasn't dead yet.

Zhu Bin was startled and quickly took out his machete and killed the snake with two strokes.

He really didn't notice it just now. The snake was less than one meter away from him. If the snake suddenly attacked him, he would not have time to react.

Zhu Bin thanked him fearfully, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been in trouble and might have been bitten by this snake."

Su Yan also acted very scared and said, "I was just too scared. I threw the machete at you instinctively before I could even tell you. Luckily I hit it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhu Bin cut off the snake's head, wrapped it with several large leaves, and tied it tightly with a straw rope to prevent the blood from flowing out.

Zhu Bin explained: "This snake is called the Ussuri pit viper. It is poisonous. It is safer to cut off the snake's head directly."

Su Yan: "Well, then, bury the snake's head?"

Zhu Bin chuckled and nodded lovingly, thinking that Su Yan could be so innocent and cute sometimes. It was the first time he heard of burying a snake's head.

He wanted to eat someone's body, but he was kind enough to bury its head.

The two men roughly covered the snake's head with soil and continued to walk inside.

But before she had walked far, she ran into Hu Yuwei and her husband Zheng Cheng.

Hu Yuwei was a little surprised to see Su Yan and the others, but she quickly reacted, smiled, waved her hand and shouted to them: "Su Yan, Zhu Bin, what a coincidence, are you also coming up the mountain to look for mountain products?"

Su Yan: "Yeah, what a coincidence."
