The poisonous snake bit my only old hen to death. My eldest brother asked for stewed chicken, and grandma said that snake wine is a good thing.
I was afraid that they would be poisoned, so I secretly buried the dead chicken and the poisonous snake wine.
When grandma saw that her precious snake wine was gone, she hit me on the back with a fire stick and cursed me as a thief who stole everything!
Dadi started rolling on the floor, crying and asking for chicken.
My parents were furious and punched and kicked me.
I was lame in one leg and could no longer do heavy work. I was sold to a fool in the mountains as their wife for 5,000 yuan.
From then on, I gave birth to one child after another, and finally died in childbirth in bed.
When I opened my eyes again, I went back to the day when my eldest brother shouted to eat a dead chicken.
This time I didn't meddle any more and watched grandma put the snake into the medicinal wine bottle and stew the chicken.
