Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 46
"However, when we eat meat, we will naturally have you. When the days get better and we become rich, we will feed you meat." Tian Liusu couldn't bear seeing it's cute appearance, and Soothe it a bit.

"Zhizhizhi..." It was indeed a beast, and it couldn't be compared with a human being. When he heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately became happy again, nodding and bowing again and again.

Xue Ling prepared breakfast and came out to call her, Tian Liusu carried Xue Linghu back to the house, ready to have breakfast.

An'an reached out to hug it, but it dodged and fled, shook its body, and suddenly stretched out its paws to scratch at its body. It happened that there was a basin of water in the room, and Xue Ling called to wash the faces of the two children. Xue Linghu jumped in, the cold water made it tremble.

"Do you want to take a bath?" Tian Liusu asked it funny.

It nodded hurriedly, blinking at An'an and Lele.

"Mother, let Lele and I wash it." After An An finished speaking, he and Lele squatted in front of the basin, took the brush and prepared to wash it.

"Wait, the water is too cold, add some hot water." Tian Liusu poured some hot water into the basin, and the two children began to wash it.

"Mother, let's give it a name." Lele said while brushing the dirt off its fur.

"Okay, what's the name? Do you have a satisfactory name?"

"How about, let's call him Abao and let him be my younger brother." Lele shouted holding up a brush.

"Zhizhizhi..." The snow spirit fox cast a disgusted glance at him to express his protest, thinking that she is the mother, why should she be treated as a younger brother?

"Okay, let's call it Bao."

"Abao, Abao, Abao..." The two children called Xue Linghu desperately, Xue Linghu was angry, sad, indignant and mad with all kinds of helplessness, and finally had to accept his fate and let them yell casually.

After taking a bath, Xue Linghu regained its snow-white and smooth fur. It was very happy, holding a small bronze mirror with Tian Liusu, looking at itself in the mirror, looking left and right, and the two children giggled and laughed.

After breakfast, Mrs. Song called Tian Liusu to the village head's house. Today, she was going to vote to decide whether the village head would stay or not. Tian Liusu went to the village head's house with Xue Linghu.

After she and Mrs. Song arrived, the rest of the people had already arrived. The village chief was sitting on the edge of the kang smoking a cigarette quietly, while Cao Hua sat on the side and wept.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Chang Gui cleared his throat and said, "Master Qin is not in the village these few days, let's decide whether to abolish the village chief by raising our hands for or against. When Master Qin comes back, We will report to him again and let him choose a successor at another day."

"Wait, before the election, let's solve the problem of the chickens and sheep being killed and lost in the village in the past few days." Tian Liusu stopped Chang Gui.

"What? Miss Su, do you know how the chickens and sheep in the village are lost?" Chang Gui turned to her in surprise.

"Well, it was the one that killed it, and the one that was lost was eaten by it." Tian Liusu threw Xue Linghu to the ground, kicked it, and signaled it to be quiet, be honest, and cooperate obediently.

"What? It killed it?"|The villagers whispered to each other in disbelief.

"It is so small, can it kill such a big sheep?" a villager questioned.

"Although I don't believe it, it was indeed killed by it. I saw it was homeless last night, so I took it in. I got up early this morning and ate my chicken, and I was caught. Then I asked Whether it killed or ate those chickens and sheep in its village, it nodded and admitted."

Tian Liusu spoke very slowly, allowing the villagers to slowly digest what she said.

"It can understand human language?" A villager asked in surprise.

"Well, I seem to be able to understand it. It has been staying in the village for several days, and it just coincides with the time when the chickens and sheep in the village were killed."

"It was actually bitten to death by this beast. Since it can understand human speech, it is probably a monster. We must kill it today to avenge my two reed chickens."

Osmanthus fragrans heard that Tian Liusu said that Xue Linghu had been taken in, she felt a little jealous, why did all good things go to her, and immediately said that she would punish Xue Linghu.

"Zhizhizhi..." Xue Linghu curled up at Tian Liusu's feet, raised her head and made a demonstrative grimace at the sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Ah, if you really can understand people's language, you are indeed a monster..." The villagers also agreed with Guihua's words.

"I've just said that I took it in last night, so it's already a member of my family. If you kill it, don't say it again." Tian Liusu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Osmanthus fragrans.

"Then what about our chickens and sheep, we have worked hard to save money for several years to buy them, and they were killed by them after raising them for so long. Who will take our losses?"

The villagers whose chickens and sheep died all opened their mouths, only Chang Gui remained silent.

"It has already done everything, can you get back your losses if you kill it?"

Tian Liusu asked everyone slowly.

The villagers fell silent when they heard her question. Indeed, even if Xue Linghu was killed, it was only a relief for a while, and there was no way to get back what was lost.

"Since it has become a member of my family, I will also be responsible for what it does. I will convert all the dead or lost chickens and sheep in your family into silver to compensate you. Please believe me on this point."

Tian Liusu looked around at the crowd and said, "You all must remember the last time I harvested Poria cocos, right? I gave you all of the money I paid on credit."

Tian Liusu knew that most of these villagers felt sorry for their loss, and they would definitely not pursue the matter if they got compensation. For these poor tenants, solving their livelihoods was their only concern.

"Really, are you really going to compensate us?"

Osmanthus fragrans was the first to jump out to ask questions. She is a well-known dominatrix in the village. She loves gossiping and caring. Compared with other tenants in the village, she is also a strange flower in Tianshui Village.

"Yes, I won't lose you, and the chickens and sheep that were killed, didn't you just lose their fur, skin them and eat the meat?"

The living standard of the villagers in Tianshui Village is the worst among the neighboring villages and towns. Most of the villagers only have meat on the dinner table during the Chinese New Year. have eaten.

Seeing that Tian Liusu wanted to pay them compensation, the villagers relaxed, and they stopped talking about killing Xue Linghu, but some people secretly thought that it was a pity that such a spiritual creature who understands human language was captured by Tian Liusu.

Tian Liusu saw that the villagers responded silently, and immediately asked Mrs. Song to help her ask the number of households whose chickens and sheep were killed, and then converted it into money and recorded it. After she went back and counted, she would send the money door to door. Mrs. Song readily agreed.
