The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 10 New Protein Sources

"It's okay, if it dares to bite you, just roast it right away!" Shen Wantang pinched it.

The black snake truly felt threatened! (;′??Д??`)

It really didn't dare to bite, afraid that it would die the next second.

Zhang Yanzhi cautiously reached out and touched it; it felt cool to the touch. "Wow! It really doesn't bite."

Snake: Do you dare?

(My God! Is Zhizhi really that bold?)

(This snake is not venomous, so it's safe, but a bite could hurt a lot!)

"Are we really going to eat this?" Zhang Yanzhi looked at the snake. She had never imagined that such a terrifying creature could be so docile, and suddenly she felt a little reluctant to hurt it.

The black snake looked at Zhang Yanzhi and thought, "This is my savior!" Thinking this, it climbed onto her body and wrapped its arms around her, refusing to come down.

Shen Wantang was a little surprised; this little thing was quite intelligent. "Never mind, I'll go out and look for it again after the rain stops!"

"Okay...okay, can I move freely?" Zhang Yanzhi looked at the black snake on her arm, her whole body tense.

"Of course you can. If it bites you, just turn it into a kebab. Actually, it's not a bad pet." Shen Wantang thought for a moment. This kind of snake wouldn't be bad as a pet, would it?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanzhi was somewhat tempted: "I'll take it with me first! I'll see how it goes later."

"We've been starving all day, and now there's another mouth to feed?" Shen Meng looked at them in confusion. Had they lost their minds?

It's just a snake! Why not eat it?

When Shen Meng spoke, everyone fell silent.

Shen Wantang took a deep breath and stood up: "Could you please shake your brains before you speak? We didn't ask you to find us food, why are you so agitated?"

(Pfft! No wonder she's called Blackie.)

(Yeah, she caught the snake herself, what business is it of hers whether she eats it or not?)

(Wait a minute, where are Shen Meng's fans? Why aren't they saying anything?)

(What do you mean? Mengmeng was right in the first place. Why keep a snake as a pet?)

(Exactly, wouldn't it be better if we all ate together? That way, no one would go hungry!)

"Shen Wantang!" Shen Meng's chest heaved rapidly, her eyes filled with rage. She had truly had enough!

"Keep your voice down, I'm young, my hearing is fine!" Shen Wantang picked at her ear: "You can learn if you're uneducated, you can get plastic surgery if you're ugly, but you have a bad heart..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he looked Shen Meng up and down, as if she were beyond saving.

"You're so wicked, there's no cure for it!"

"Pfft!" Li Shi couldn't help but burst out laughing, then immediately turned his head to the other side, pretending that nothing had happened.

Zhang Yanzhi kept his head down and refused to look up.

Chen Xingge frowned, not finding it funny at all: "You're sisters, why are you so hostile towards her?"

"Sister, what do I have to do to make you like me?" When Shen Meng heard that Chen Xingge actually spoke up for her, her eyes lit up like a tap.

The tears kept flowing without stopping.

"Don't cry, it's not your fault." Chen Xingge frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then gently placed his hand on her back to comfort her.

Shen Meng was secretly delighted. Of course she knew about the Chen family; they were a prestigious family! If she could become Mrs. Chen, who would dare to look down on her?

Even if Shen Wantang marries into the prestigious Ji family, so what? She's just a collateral branch of the Ji family, and might not even have entered the real Ji family gates yet!

In the end, won't they still be able to manipulate Shen Wantang whenever they want?

"Senior Xingge, it's my fault. I didn't know how to please my sister." Shen Meng's eyes were red from crying.

Chen Xingge felt very uncomfortable seeing this. He thought the little woman in front of him was quite nice, so why were others bullying her?

"You don't need to please anyone. I'll find you something to eat as soon as the rain stops. Don't worry about them," Chen Xingge said tenderly.

Shen Meng nodded and tugged at his sleeve: "Senior Xingge, let me go with you! That way we'll have more strength, and the two of us can look out for each other."

"Okay." Chen Xingge nodded. If no one else would protect her, then he would protect her himself.

(OMG, I'm blown away!)

(As expected, Mengmeng and the movie star are a perfect match!)

(But Shen Meng is really a green tea b*tch!)

Shen Wantang didn't listen to their nonsense. Now the protein had suddenly become a pet, and she had to find food again.

But the weather was uncooperative, and the rain didn't stop until the next morning. Everyone barely slept all night because they were so hungry. They would finally fall asleep, only to wake up hungry again soon after.

Seeing Shen Wantang suffering on the screen, Ji Qianqian felt very guilty: "I should have known better than to let my sister-in-law participate in this variety show. It's so tough. She's been hungry for so long and even slept on the floor."

Ji Li sighed: "This old man just can't stand seeing these things."

Li Nanxi and Ji Yu exchanged a glance, both feeling bad for their daughter-in-law who was suffering so much.

Upstairs, Ji Yushi's phone screen was still lit up on the table, displaying the director's phone number.

He restrained himself from dialing the number.

It was very early, probably only around six o'clock. The forest was still dark and damp, and no one was sleepy.

"Let's go. Although it's dark, the sky is almost turning light, so we can still see." Shen Wantang looked at them. She was so hungry that she could eat anything.

Seeing that they had set off, Shen Meng and Chen Xingge also left, without going with them.

The two of them went to look for something on their own.

As Shen Wantang led them down the slope, the dampness increased, and they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

"Did you hear that?!" Zhang Yanzhi shouted excitedly, "There's water!"

"I heard that. If we're lucky, we might even catch some fish." Li Shi was also very happy. On the first day, all he felt was exhaustion; nothing else.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look." Shen Wantang also thought of fish; even if there were no fish, there should be crabs.

The three of them came to the riverbank. It was a small stream, not very big. Because no one came here, there were many fish in the stream!

"Fish! Great!" Zhang Yanzhi ran up and saw a group of fish of all sizes in one of the small puddlees! Probably more than a dozen.

[The protein source is secured!]

Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief; she wouldn't have to eat insects anymore.

The three of them were initially exhausted, but upon seeing the food, they instantly felt full of energy.

"I'll go get some branches and see if we can tie them up. You guys use big rocks to hit them!" Shen Wantang glanced around and saw plenty of suitable branches; tying the fish up with them would definitely work.

"Okay, be careful of Sister Wan Tang." Li Shi led Zhang Yanzhi to smash things by the puddle!

Li Shi was a boy and much stronger. He struggled to move a very large stone and then threw it directly in.

Water splashed everywhere. Because the pool wasn't very big and the water wasn't very deep, the impact of the large rock stunned many fish.
