1818: Chapter 1812: That thing, everyone is afraid of 1818: Chapter 1812: That thing, everyone is afraid of “What, there’s a snake?” Annie Lawrence and Sophie were so frightened that they quickly ran to the shore, almost falling into the field.
Upon hearing about the snake in the field, everyone else also ran to the shore.
That thing is sothing that everyone is afraid of.
“Coco, you just said there is a snake in the field, did you see it?” Faye Lister was also so scared that her face was a little pale.
“Yes.” Coco Wadsley’s eyes welled up with tears, recalling the scene just now, her face still had a terrified expression, “I just caught it and was scared to death.
Faye, I don’t want to go back down there, I’m too scared.”
Faye Lister didn’t say anything.
Because she was also very scared of snakes.
If there really was a snake in the field, she wouldn’t dare to go down either.
Just as she was hesitating whether to talk to Giovanni Vane about the situation, she heard Jas Harold’s voice: “Coco, is this the snake you’re talking about?”
Faye Lister turned around and saw that Jas was holding sothing that seed alive and struggling.
When Coco saw the thing in Jas’s hand, her face turned pale, and she scread again, “Yes, that’s the snake, it’s terrifying.”
Jas looked at her speechlessly, “This is not a snake.
It is a yellow eel.
Coco, can you stop being so jumpy?
You almost gave a heart attack.”
Only then did Faye Lister see clearly that what Jas was holding was an eel.
She looked at it for a mont, speechless, then rubbed her temples and said, “Coco, you saw this just now?”
“Yes, yes.” Coco Wadsley’s eyes were still filled with tears.
Faye Lister took a deep breath, “This is not a snake.”
“But, but it looks a lot like a snake.
And it looks so disgusting.” Coco bit her lip, her eyes red and her face pale, “Faye, I, I don’t want to go back down there, I’m really scared.”
Faye Lister frowned.
She looked at Joanna Lawrence’s progress; they had already dug up quite a few lotus roots, while their progress…
She took a deep breath, trying to contain her emotions, “Fine, then you’ll be in charge of organizing things.
You can do this, right?”
“Yes, yes, I can.” Coco Wadsley was quick to agree to this task.
“All right then.” With no other choice, Faye Lister turned around and said to the others, “It was just a false alarm.
Let’s get back to work.”
Faye Lister’s side was already lagging behind Joanna Lawrence’s.
Now with one person less, it was even worse.
Two hours later.
Joanna Lawrence’s side had a fruitful harvest.
The five of them dug up a full cart of lotus roots, all of which were of good size and quality.
Even the lotus root farm boss praised them, saying they did a great job.
On the other side…
The situation on Faye Lister’s side could be described as terrible.
The lotus roots they dug up were not even half as much as those of Joanna Lawrence’s team.
Moreover, the quality was much worse, with many of the roots being small and broken, with part of it still left in the ground.
The boss ca to have a look, and although he didn’t say anything, his expression was clearly not pleased.
Broken lotus roots would affect the selling price.

Next, it was ti to sell the lotus roots in the nearby town.
Both teams boarded the boss’s truck, taking their “spoils” to the market of the small town.
Joanna had Porter Rushbrook and the others carry the large basket of lotus roots carefully from the truck.
After finding a booth, they all sat down at a nearby spot.
The clean and chubby lotus roots they dug up looked enticing and fresh despite having been washed, and were priced reasonably.
Business started quickly.
