Chapter 216 The little dumpling couldn't help but feel a little sore.
"Even if you die, what does it have to do with us!" Sun's mother stepped forward, her face icy cold.
Despite her delicate and frail appearance, she possessed a strange and inexplicable aura at that moment.
The people from Sunjia Village were taken aback at first, but then their expressions changed.
An old woman who had just coaxed her little baby sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Oh dear, you wicked woman, how can you be so heartless? You've offended Wu Dali, and in the end, won't it be us villagers who suffer for you?" the old woman said fiercely, glaring at them.
Fang Gou...
He curled his lips and was about to speak when he saw Butcher Sun walk out, take a pig-slaughtering knife, and chop a piece of pork that had fallen in front of the old woman in half!
Xiao Su Bao looked at her nephew Da Bao's maternal grandfather, and her heart jumped into her throat.
So fierce...
She glanced sympathetically at her two nephews, the eldest and the second...
In the blink of an eye, to the astonishment of everyone in Sunjia Village, Butcher Sun picked up Tang Dabao and Tang Erbao and carried them into the house.
Fang Gou looked at the people from Sunjia Village outside, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Everyone, disperse. Why are you all here acting so aggressively? Why didn't any of you help us earlier?"
He looked at the people of Sunjia Village, and couldn't help but glance at Qian Shi and Tang Cheng as they walked into the room.
You should know that Tangjia Village is very united!
Last time, he believed that if he really harmed Xiao Su Bao and the others, he might not be able to leave Tangjia Village alive...
Thinking of this, Fang Gou couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
The people of Sunjia Village were afraid of Fang Gou, and none of them dared to stay there any longer; they all left.
Village Chief Sun's face was extremely ugly. Did this butcher Sun really think he was useless as the village chief?
"Sun Lao Er, if you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite and kicking you out of the village!"
He narrowed his eyes, determined to get some of the silver from Butcher Sun no matter what!
Butcher Sun paused in his steps and turned to look at Village Chief Sun.
Years ago, he was unexpectedly saved by Village Chief Sun, and over the years he has always treated the people of Sunjia Village very well.
They were also treated as family...
Things that didn't happen before are fine!
But now...
Butcher Sun sighed, a complex mix of emotions welling up in his eyes.
"No need, I'll leave tomorrow!" Butcher Sun said coldly to Village Chief Sun, "I'll leave on my own!"
Sun Cuihua opened her mouth as if to say something, but was pulled back by her mother.
A few years ago, Butcher Sun saved the Sun family, including several members of the village chief's family, which can be considered as repaying the life-saving grace from back then!
Originally, Butcher Sun didn't want to leave; he was reluctant to go, but...
"You really want to leave!" Village Chief Sun's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists.
“Yes!” Butcher Sun said solemnly, his expression one of utter despair.
Seeing this, Xiao Su Bao couldn't help but feel sorry for her nephew's maternal grandfather.
He's very sad!
The little dumpling couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed when she saw him like this.
She was driven away and disliked, and that feeling is very upsetting.
"Mom, can we ask Uncle Sun and the others to come to our village?" Little Su Bao asked in a low voice.
As Qian walked ahead, she paused upon hearing Xiao Su Bao's words, but did not refuse.
This is not a big deal.
"Of course!" Madam Qian stroked Xiao Su Bao's hair, her smile deepening.
Xiao Su Bao was immediately overjoyed. She now had a home in Tangjia Village. She loved Tangjia Village and the Qian family.
Then Uncle Sun and his family will have a new home too!
Village Chief Sun's face was extremely gloomy, but in the end, out of consideration for Fang Gou, he did not utter any harsh words!
"Grandpa, Grandma, wait! Our oxcart hasn't arrived yet!" Tang Erbao shouted immediately.
Sure enough, not far away, a bullock cart could be seen. At that moment, several children from Sunjia Village ran over and tried to steal things from the cart.
"You guys, go and get the stuff back!" Fang Gou's brothers nodded in unison and rushed over.
Mrs. Qian was taken aback, but she didn't say anything more.
Back at Butcher Sun's house, the place was spotless and tidy, which was quite comforting.
The group sat down in the main room, and Tang Cheng went out and brought in all the wild boar meat.
Sun Cuihua accompanied her mother and younger brother, pouring tea for her mother-in-law.
“Father-in-law, if you don’t mind, you can come back to Tangjia Village with us and stay there…” Madam Qian looked at him and finally spoke up.
Butcher Sun was taken aback, but shook his head.
"No need, I still have some savings, I plan to go to the county town!" Butcher Sun looked at his wife and son with a smile in his eyes.
He was reluctant to leave this place, but after today's events, Butcher Sun understood a lot of things.
He has the skill of slaughtering pigs and could do well in the county government office. In fact, the clerk had come to see him a few days ago.
Even a butcher can get paid for slaughtering pigs for the government!
Upon hearing this, Ms. Qian was taken aback.
However, he didn't say much, but instead said, "Since my father-in-law has already made his plans, I won't say any more!"
Sun the butcher, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something and took out some silver from his pocket.
He divided the silver into four parts.
“Mother-in-law, this silver was obtained with your and Brother Fang's help. I secretly divided it into four parts, three hundred taels of silver each!”
As he spoke, Butcher Sun placed three hundred taels of silver in front of Madam Qian, one portion in front of Tang Cheng and his wife, and the other in front of Fang Gou!
If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have really lost both the pig and myself today.
Fang Gou waved his hand, a smile on his face: "Oh, I don't want this money. To be honest, I don't care about this little bit of money, but..."
He paused, then looked at Xiao Su Bao.
"My little aunt is so thin, so I'll use this money to buy her meat. Let her eat more and get her plump up!" Fang Gou said with a smile.
Madam Qian was taken aback; three hundred taels of silver had already been placed in front of her!
Butcher Sun was taken aback and gave Little Su Bao a deep look!
I saw Xiao Su Bao before. This little girl is very fierce, even more so than most boys!
“My dear in-law, we have enough money. You can keep this money for yourself!” Madam Qian picked up the silver and then pushed it back.
Butcher Sun frowned deeply.
The Tang family is having a tough time; they're really unlucky!
He knew that, of course...
If she hadn't known about the Tang family's situation, she wouldn't have sent her daughter back every time with some meat or pig offal.
He cleaned all the pig offal himself, and his daughter ate it from a young age, learning to cook it from them. She did a good job, and it tasted pretty good too.
However, his abilities were limited, and this was all the help he could offer his daughter.
Is Qian saying this now because she's embarrassed?
He frowned.
“Mother-in-law, we’re family after all. I know your family situation. You have many children. Your third son is already fifteen and still not married. Your fourth son is in school, and then there’s your eldest brother…”
Ms. Qian's lips twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed!
There were indeed many places where money would be spent, but thinking of something, Madam Qian shook her head.
"No need, we have enough money at home!" Madam Qian still refused.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng spoke up: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, take this money. Even if you want to buy a house or land in the county town, it will cost money!"
Houses in An County aren't very expensive, but even a slightly nicer house will cost two or three hundred taels.
They still have a life to live in the future. Sun Xiaohu is a good student and is eight years old now, so he will have to go to school in the future.
In the end, the 1,300 taels were all returned.
Sun the butcher felt a lump in his throat, but his heart was warmed.
Putting everything else aside, if this happened to the people in Sunjia Village, they would probably want to empty their pockets of all their money!
"Since that's the case..." His expression turned slightly serious as he looked at Xiao Su Bao and said with a smile, "Then consider these my greeting gift to Xiao Su Bao!"
He had overheard Qian explaining to her daughter-in-law earlier and knew that Xiao Su Bao was Qian's adopted daughter.
Little Su Bao was stunned, wondering how this had happened to her.
The little dumpling paused for a moment, then immediately waved its hand.
"No need!"
“Yes, my husband Cuihua is right. This is our gift for the children. If you don’t accept it, we will be really angry!” Sun’s mother said with a smile.
She also likes Xiao Su Bao; this little dumpling is so cute it melts your heart.
“Yes, it’s only three hundred taels, you can keep it!” Fang Gou said from the side.
In the end, Qian still accepted the silver!
She could tell that her father-in-law was sincere, and she was deeply moved.
"By the way, all the pigs I'm raising later, you can take them all back with you. We'll keep one and take it to the county town together!"
Butcher Sun has already decided to leave tomorrow, after all, it's not good to stay here and guard against those people day and night!
The people of Sunjia Village also became lively at this moment, and they all ran to the village chief's house.
I'm so envious!
So much silver, how wonderful it would be to give it to them!
"Village chief, what do you think we should do about this?" Zhou Ergou said with a dark face.
Village Chief Sun took a deep look at the people who had come over, and then he sighed.
"Well, I don't know either. What do you guys want to do?" he asked calmly, though he already had an idea in mind.
“That silver shouldn’t belong to him alone. Even if Wu Dali compensated our entire village, it’s not right for him to keep it all!”
Sunjia Village has only two hundred households in total. If the money were divided among each household, it would amount to a considerable sum of money!
"Yes, it belongs to everyone!"
The men all chimed in!
"I think we should just hand over the silver tonight..."
"What are you saying? How could the villagers of Sunjia Village do such a thing? It's utterly ridiculous!" Village Chief Sun snorted and addressed the crowd.
However, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone turned cold: "I've heard that there are quite a few bandits in Zhao Family Village nearby recently..."
