Chapter 136: Calculations Can't Be Made
The tiger hunt is the biggest catastrophe after Liu Wan came here.
If you can't complete it, it's just a fine of 100 taels of silver, Liu Wanke remembers that it was written later that she was going to be assigned to the border pass.
As for whether the border will really be issued, it all depends on the mood of the county commander, but if the task is not completed, there is a high probability that the county commander will be unhappy.
Don't expect much sympathy from a person in a position of authority.
The reason why Liu Wan clung to the fine of 100 taels of silver at that time and instilled this concept in the children was also because she was afraid that they would have a lot of scruples, so she deliberately understated that if she couldn't complete the official errand of catching tigers, it would be fine with silver.
In fact, what Liu Wan is most afraid of is the exile written later.
The current natural environment is so bad, if you are exiled to the frontier, you will eat and sleep in the open along the way, and the wind and rain will be miserable, then is there still life?
Now that the task of catching the tiger is complete, she can concentrate on accumulating points and focus on being well-off.
Wang Xiao untied the chains on his back, and then placed a hundred taels of silver on the offering table in the hall.
On the red cloth there are snowflakes of silver, and a small silver coin of 10 taels looks particularly attractive and exudes a charming light.
This is the first time that the Wang family has seen so much silver put together, and everyone can't help but be confused by money.
"Brother, is all this money ours?"
Wang Lian cautiously touched the silver and asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's our family, it's the government that rewarded us!"
Wang Xiao smiled happily, but Wu Hui's face changed on the side.
If it weren't for Xianggong who received the heroic order, how could he earn this one hundred taels of silver?
In order to catch tigers, even his life was almost lost, why is it said that it is a family's money now?
Wu Hui felt that Wang Xiao was too stupid!
Such a stupid man, how could she marry him?
Liu Wan said with a smile:
"With this silver, plus the money earned from opening a store before, let's build a new house and continue to open a few more stores in the future, and Wang Li will not have a problem going to school."
When Wu Hui heard this, isn't this money equivalent to a public middle school, and it is used for everyone?
As for the reward given to Xianggong, Liu Wan didn't mention a word.
Wu Hui was very unhappy and blurted out:
"Mother, this is wrong, the silver was received by Xianggong after receiving the heroic order, and he almost gave his life in exchange, can't he give Xianggong a little reward?
Why is this money now in the public middle school, and everyone spends it together? Not quite right? ”
Wang Xiao listened to Wu Hui's words and felt that something was wrong, but looking at his pot-bellied wife, he was reluctant to pull down his face to say that she was for a while, so he had to purse his lips.
Liu Wan listened, but said calmly:
"Xiaohui is right, I said before, half of what you earn will be given to you, this one hundred taels of silver, naturally half of it will be left for the expenses of the public school, and 50 taels of silver, which will be divided equally by Wang Xiao, Wang Jing and Wang Li, the three of you have your own contributions in this tiger hunt, you should be."
Wang Xiao's face turned red when he heard this, and he said: "It's not like this, I'm in trouble, how can I contribute?"
If it weren't for my good deeds, I accidentally revealed the Hero Order by mistake, and I wouldn't have had so much trouble.
Mother, I can't ask for this money. ”
"Yes, mother, I just got out of a cage, which is what I should do, and I can't ask for this money."
Wang Jing also hurriedly excused himself.
Wang Li was lying in the house, not knowing what was going on outside, so no one on his side spoke up.
Wang Xiao said: "If you talk about it, the fourth brother has the greatest credit, he lured the tiger with his body, if it wasn't for his mother's good medical skills, he might have died, I think if he really wants to share, 50 taels of silver will be given to him." ”
Wang Jing also nodded in agreement.
At the scene, the two brothers knew how dangerous the situation was, so they immediately reached an agreement on Wang Li's exclusive share.
"It's okay, you brothers are affectionate and righteous, and help each other, it's good.
Li'er has to go to school after the New Year, and he has to spend a lot of silver, and the 50 taels of silver will be used as part of his school expenses. ”
Liu Wan grinned and accepted the reward for Wang Li.
Wang Xiao and Wang Jing brothers sincerely wanted to give the silver to Wang Li, but only Wu Hui had a stinky face and a dissatisfied face.
Wu Hui was in a depressed mood, she was really soft-spoken, no one listened to anything, and even Xianggong turned his elbow out.
Obviously, he was planning for the sake of the small family, and he couldn't hold his mother-in-law's old face and was willing to spit out the money, but the husband still gave the money out, isn't this a slap in her face?
It's too shameless for her to be in front of everyone!
She brought up the matter of sharing the money, but it was Wang Li who ended up benefiting.
As soon as she thought of this, Wu Hui was going crazy.
Liu Wan didn't notice Wu Hui's expression, but she felt that Wu Hui was too childish and too calculating, and it was right to teach her a lesson, so she deliberately ignored her emotions.
As an "evil" mother-in-law, her words were the last order, and she didn't need to pull down her face and explain these things to Wu Hui.
Wang Xiao said again that he would invite the hunters to dinner the day after tomorrow.
Liu Wan naturally said that she would arrange it well.
"Uncle Xie has made such a big effort this time, without his help, we would not have been able to find out the whereabouts of the tiger at all, and we would not have completed the official errand of catching the tiger so smoothly, we should really thank others."
Liu Wan said, asking Wang Xiao to find a three-layer bamboo hook basket.
This three-layer bamboo hook basket is more than half a person high, three baskets can be stacked inside, when the countryside does red and white ceremonies, when you need to load chicken, duck, fish, meat, and cakes, you will be packed in the bamboo hook basket, which is full, rich and festive.
Liu Wan took off two preserved fish and one leg of bacon on the beam, and then loaded white noodles, white kueh, rice, dried mushrooms, braised chicken feet, etc., and filled the hook basket to the brim, and put a piece of red paper with dried tofu on each layer of the hook basket, so that Wang Xiao and Wang Jing helped carry it and went to Xie Tietou's house to thank him in person.
When the mother and son arrived at Xie Tou's house, the Zhao family was feeding the chickens, and when they saw their mother and son coming, they hurriedly let them sit in the house.
Xie Tietou was catching up on sleep, and he was also called up by Zhao at this time.
Liu Wan was overwhelmed with gratitude:
"This time, Xiao'er was able to successfully complete the official errand of catching the tiger, all thanks to Uncle Xie's full help, these are a little meaning."
After speaking, he asked his son to open the hook basket, took out the thank you gift he brought, and set a table full of them.
When the people in the village saw the mother and son of the Wang family carrying the hook basket, they knew that something big had happened, and the ordinary hook basket came in handy when it was a big event, so they all knew the taste and rushed to see the excitement together.
When everyone saw this battle, they learned about Wang Xiao and Xie Tietou catching tigers.
also knew that Xie Tietou helped the Wang family, and the Wang family also understood human feelings, so they returned the favor and thanked them, and praised the two families one after another.
Xie Tietou tried his best to refuse, not to thank him, but to say that he did what a hunter should do, even if Wang Xiao did not receive the heroic order to eliminate harm for the people, he would organize hunters to fight tigers sooner or later.
What's more, if it weren't for the concerted efforts of Wang Xiao's brothers and their own strange moves, they would not have successfully caught the tiger, so he couldn't accept this gift.
Liu Wan didn't agree, people didn't complain, before and after running, if she didn't accept gifts, she would definitely not feel at ease.
At this time, Wang Lizheng also arrived.
The information in the countryside is blocked, even if it is like Wang Lizheng, it has to go through some rumors from everyone to know about it.
