Chapter 74

Xia Xi did not answer her.

Niu's limp, go down quite fast, in a twinkling of an eye then came to Xia Xi in front of the hand of the silver note to her, Xia Xi took it, handed it to Qi'er.

Qi'er took it and counted it seriously, "one, two, three..."

All the people in the hospital held their breath, even tiger didn't cry, just like all the others, watching Qi'er count the money.

"Twenty."

After counting the last one, Qi'er looks up, "Niang, it's just right."

Some of them have not recovered.

They can't save a few taels of silver a year, not to mention the silver notes. They haven't even seen a large amount of silver. Qi'er's counting the silver notes just now is like in a dream. Until now, they still don't think it's true.

The village head also looked straight, staring at the silver note in Qi'er's hand, unable to move his eyes.

"Village head, you said just now, what will happen to those who steal two thousand taels of silver if they report to the government?"

Xia Xi asked.

When the voice came to his ears, the village head regained his mind. He reluctantly removed his eyes from the bank note, covered his mouth and coughed. In order to cover up his gaffe, he said, "killed by the staff!"

"We've got a lot of banknotes. If we're a family, I won't report them to the official."

"It was."

The village head nodded.

"But..."

Xia Xi's words changed.

Niu's heart raised, had the bad premonition.

Sure enough, Xia Xi's next words made her almost uncontrollable, and she wanted to rush to tear and beat her, "if you don't punish him well this time, I'm afraid you'll make more trouble in the future."

"Jurenniangzi means..."

The village head asked carefully.

"Hang up for two hours to show punishment."

"You dare!"

Niu exclaimed, blocking the tiger behind him.

Xia Xi ignored her and continued, "no rules, no square, even if we are a family, we can't be too lenient. What's more, if we don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid we'll be used by people who want to make more trouble."

The village head nodded, "that's right!"

"You can't do that."

Niu turned back and held Hu Zi tightly in his arms. "No, no, I promise you, Hu Zi will never do such a thing again."

Tiger son also understood Xia Xi's words, and tightly contracted his body in Niu's arms.

The village head's voice was heavy, with a warning, "Niu Shi, you should be content. If you report to an official today, not only Huzi will be killed by the staff, but also Yuju people will be involved. Now it's just punishing Huzi, which is the minimum punishment."

"But in two hours, it will kill the tiger."

Niu is really afraid now. His voice is crying. It's already cold. Even a man can't bear to hang for two hours.

"I'll send someone to watch him. I won't let anything happen to him."

With these words, the village head called two people, took the rope and tied up the tiger.

Huzi was afraid and cried, "mother, help me, help me!"

Niu's tears fell down and he was stopped by his life. Helpless to be stopped, watching the tiger was carried out.

Inside, Yu Yi sat on a stool, his face turned blue. He never thought that he would steal chicken instead of rice, and he put in his borrowed silver.

……

When the crowd dispersed, Xia Xi and Qi'er went back to the room.

Qi'er silently put the silver note away. After thinking about it, she thought it was wrong. She took it out and found a new place to put it away. Then she came back to Xia Xi and asked, "mother, do you really want to hang my uncle for two hours?"

Xia Xi did not answer, but touched his head and asked, "Qi'er thinks that uncle will come to steal money?"

Kiel shook her head. "No."

"Then why did he come?"

Qi'er pursed her lips. "Grandma asked him to come here."

Xia Xi shook his head, "Niu is not so bold, it's your father."

Qi Er didn't speak, just the small hand in the sleeve clenched.

Xia Xi touched his head, "your uncle is not mentally complete. This time, he can be instructed to come in and steal money tickets. Next time, if he is encouraged again, I don't know what he can do. Today, my mother will teach him a lesson, so that he will never dare to do such things again."

"I see."

Kiel's voice was a little low. He didn't understand why his father encouraged his uncle to do such a thing.

"Well, your uncle must be tired and hungry in a moment. Let's make him something delicious."

……

The village head asked people to hang the tiger on the tree in the village.

Huzi was frightened and screamed like a pig, which immediately attracted all the villagers. People gathered around the tree, pointing and talking.

The head of the village stood at a high place and told the villagers what happened today, "for the sake of Hu Zi's incomplete mind, I will not tolerate anyone who dares to steal from home, even a penny!"

Niu's paralysis sat under the tree, crying heartache.

Although they sympathized with her, no one helped her to say good things. Stealing was a big crime. They were not sent to the government. It was a light punishment.

The weather was cold. After watching for a while, the crowd dispersed one after another, and the tiger's cry gradually diminished.

A few people were called to guard in turn, and the village head went home.

Zhi'er runs over and accompanies Niu Shi. Yu Yi and ling'er never show up.

……

It was freezing. Half an hour later, the tiger couldn't hold on. His head drooped and there was almost no shouting.

Niu was so scared that he dragged his stiff body to get up, raised his head and cried out in panic, "tiger, Tiger..."

Huzi said, "Wow!" A cry came out, "mother, I am so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable."

Niu's heart, like a knife, turned and ran to Xia Xi's yard.

Before I ran to the door, I was stopped by ling'er who was waiting for me. "Big brother said, if my mother dares to ask for any bitch, I will break up with you."

"But, but..."

Niu's face was full of tears.

Ling'er looks at the tiger hanging on the tree, and her eyes flash with disgust. This fool is just a laggard. He can't even do such a small thing well.

Niu stumbled back to the tree and sat on the ground, shouting "tiger, Tiger...".

……

An hour later, Xia Xi leads Qi Er to come over.

Niu Shi was a little frozen. Hearing the footsteps, he twisted his neck and saw that it was them. There was fire in his eyes. He wanted to fight with her, but his body was stiff and he couldn't move a step.

The tiger's eyebrows and eyes were frozen, but when he saw Xia Xi and Qi'er coming, his eyes lit up slightly, and he called out in an almost inaudible voice, "sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Xia Xi went straight to him and stood still, looking serious, "remember the lesson, and dare to steal again in the future?"

WOW!

Huzi began to cry again. Although his voice was very weak, he was still crying hoarse. "I dare not. I will never dare again."
