Chapter 508: Help the weak and rob the rich to help the poor
Tianbao had just returned to the cabin and sat down when Aunt Lu and Old Man Du also came back.
The old man stood before her with his hands on his hips, boasting, "Girl, guess how much we made today? Forty-eight coppers! Grandpa worked so hard! Hey, after lunch, let's go fishing again. We'll make at least a hundred coppers today!"
The worry between Madam Lu's brows faded a lot, and a smile flickered in the corners of her eyes. "Today we're going a few miles deeper into the sea. There are fewer people there, so we can catch more fish."
The clothes of the two old men were wet, and their hair was still stained with the moisture from the sea.
Tianbao pursed her lips, took out the thing in her arms, and stuffed it into the nanny's hand.
There were copper coins, silver dimes, and pearls as big as fingers...which was worth at least five or six hundred coins.
Aunt Lu was shocked, "Tianbao, where did you get these things?"
This was definitely not something that Tianbao originally had. She had taken care of her for so long, and she knew exactly how much money she had.
"I earned it through legitimate means." Tianbao said calmly.
"What legitimate means?"
"Fight pirates."
The corners of Madam Lu's mouth twitched. Did you miss the word '劫'?
The old man gasped, his triangular eyes widening as he cursed, "What a stinky girl! Madam Lu and I worked so hard all morning to earn only forty-eight coins, and you earn so much just by fighting pirates? Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had such a good idea? Grandpa will join you!!"
After cursing, the old man turned around and expressed his extreme dissatisfaction to the still silent nanny, "What did I say? You can't make money from fishing! Look, look at you, I row the boat all morning, cast the net all morning, and only earn forty cents. Isn't it a thankless job? Don't call me tomorrow, I'll go with Tianbao!"
Madam Lu, “…”
Closing her eyes, Madam Lu's face turned serious. "Tianbao, we can't use our abilities like this. No matter what the situation, we should act with integrity and honesty. Madam doesn't want you to become a pirate! Even if we are short of money, we must earn it in a legitimate way."
Tian Bao tilted her head and said, "Mammy, pirates rob passing ships and bully the honest fishermen on the island. Is that bad?"
"Naturally bad."
"Then the ones I'm beating up are the bad guys. Isn't that right?"
Madam Lu was stuck, "...but you didn't beat me, you robbed me!"
"I just took away their ill-gotten gains." Tianbao said seriously.
The poisonous old man pounded his fist, "Bao is right, this is called robbing the rich to help the poor!"
Tian Bao nodded, "Help the weak and fight against the strong."
Madam Lu: "..." You are making unreasonable arguments and leaving me speechless.
As he was saying this, there was a sudden burst of terrified screams outside the house, followed by the sound of hurried running footsteps.
Nanny Lu walked quickly to the door and looked at the frightened fishermen in the village running away. Her lips were straightened and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
She has seen this situation many times in the past two years. Pirates have entered the village!
Before this, Tianbao was still asleep. She was worried that the pirates would take advantage of her absence to take revenge, so every time the pirates came to the village to rob, she chose to swallow her anger.
Fortunately, the pirates would always leave after stealing things, which was still within her tolerance. But now, those pirates carrying big swords and chasing the fishermen with ferocious looks clearly had murderous intentions!
A head popped out from each side behind Mammy.
Tianbao, "Mammy, do you want to fight?"
The old man said, "Big sister, I'll listen to you this time. If you say you won't fight me and Tianbao, we'll leave."
Madam Lu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Hit me!"
"Hehehe! Tianbao, let's go! Fight against the strong and help the weak!"
"Grandpa Du, you're on the left and I'm on the right!"
"Don't forget to rob the rich and give to the poor!"
"Don't worry, the geese will pass by and pluck their feathers!"
"Pull out all the hair from their bodies! Ehehehehe!"
Nanny Lu, who was following closely behind, staggered slightly, and the strength accumulated in her hands almost dissipated.
This old and this young!
The pirates who rushed into the village also saw the old and young people flying to greet them.
Someone immediately raised a large knife and pointed it at Tian Bao, "That's her! This ugly bitch! She dared to rob us with her meager fists! Brothers, kill her! Don't let anyone in this village go! Hahaha! If they dare to threaten us, you will watch them all die!"
The poisonous old man rushed over and stepped on her face with his foot, furious. "You timid bastard, you think you are invincible. How dare you call my granddaughter ugly? Grandpa will slap you in the face, slap you in the face!"
Madam Lu grabbed a knife and struck the pirate's arm with the back of the knife. "Want to kill someone? You're a bunch of inhumane people! You deserve to be taught a lesson!"
Tianbao said nothing, and punched the pirate's head into the ground, as if he was hitting a mole, with his movements as fast as lightning.
There were more than thirty people coming.
When the frightened fishermen cautiously poked their heads out of the house to see what was going on, they saw the pirates lying on the ground. The old man with a bird's nest hair and the girl with a scarred face searched the pirates calmly, and took out money bags, copper coins and silver dimes... anything of value from the pirates and threw them all to Madam Lu.
“…”
“…”
They had only stayed in the house for the time it took to drink a cup of tea. What on earth was going on outside?
Do Lu Ma and her family of three know Kung Fu?
And he can fight ten at the same time?
"Oh my, why are there only thirty or so people? There must be hundreds of pirates on the other side of the island! I wonder if the big ones will come after we defeat the small ones... Bao, if they don't come, we will go there ourselves to help the weak and fight against the strong." The old man was not very satisfied with his harvest. He didn't know if he could buy the herbs he wanted even if he pooled his money together. If not, he could only steal them. Alas.
Tianbao didn't care, "If they don't come after dinner, we'll go to their house."
Nanny Lu held a handful of ill-gotten gains in her hand, looked up at the sky, and pretended that she had heard nothing.
Anyway, these pirates are really not good people...
She turned and went back into the house.
These pirates were attracted by Tianbao.
Now that the trouble has been caused, we must defeat those pirates before leaving to ensure the peace of the surrounding fishermen.
Only then can they leave with peace of mind.
"You little bitch, throw these bastards out. Grandpa has too many old arms and legs to move them." The old man ordered with confidence, then followed the nanny back to the house, pounding his old arms and legs.
As soon as they entered the house, the old man's expression changed immediately, and he was extremely excited. "Big sister, count how much you earned this time! Is it enough for five taels of silver?"
Madam Lu put down the things in her pocket and counted them while wondering, "Is it enough? What are you going to do?"
"The ghost market will open tomorrow night. I'm going to buy some quail grass... I only need this one herb to make ice cream to heal that little girl's scar."
"Can it really be cured?"
"I'm telling you, you can doubt anything, but you can't doubt my medical skills. Don't be so insulting!"
"Here's a little over four ounces, and I also have the forty-eight copper coins I earned this morning. Take it all! Try to bargain with them. Just give them whatever they say. Earning money isn't easy, so every penny saved counts."
"I know, I know. Old man, give it a try. Yeah."
While Tianbao was throwing the man, he heard the entire conversation between the old man and the old woman in the house.
