After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 267 Harvesting a Tiger Cub

Everyone in the world comes for profit. Even if Madam Gao and the others abandoned her and left, Shen Nanzhi would not hate them. They were just casual acquaintances and were not relatives or friends. It was human nature to seek good fortune and avoid danger.

Of course, if Mrs. Gao really did this, Shen Nanzhi would not forgive them so easily. She would have to pay back the reward for saving them, right?

He has to pay it back double, and Shen Nanzhi won't feel any psychological burden in doing such a thing as repaying a favor.

Shen Changan seemed to understand, but since Nan Zhi was the one who made the decision, he didn't think too much about it and asked, "What about the tiger?"

"He ran away. Can I still beat him to death?"

"Hey, a tiger is very valuable. I heard it can be sold for five hundred taels of silver."

"Really? It's really valuable."

The tiger, which was patrolling and rolling around in the space, felt a pair of malicious eyes looking down at itself. It let out a fierce roar, then timidly found a corner to hide in, not daring to act wild anymore.

Its hind legs were injured, but fortunately the bones were not broken. The clamps set by Shen Nanzhi were not very harmful and could only catch small animals, but not enough for such a ferocious beast.

She didn't expect to catch such a big treasure.

The tiger cub had probably just left its mother not long ago, so it was still very innocent and not too vicious. It was just so hungry that it didn't dare to attack so many people, so it grabbed a corpse and ate it. In its eyes, this was also fresh meat.

But when I was running away, my legs hurt, my eyes blurred, and then I appeared in a strange world.

Here, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, it is warm and comfortable, much more comfortable than the snowy days in the cold winter.

A few chickens flew over and were about to jump into its mouth. After the tiger cub had its fill, it licked its paws, squinted its eyes, and wanted to sleep.

Shen Nanzhi looked at him with eyes full of pity. If she had a pet in the future, she would definitely train it well and have a good baby.

"Let's go back."

Shen Nanzhi was worried that something might happen downstairs, so he asked everyone to go back quickly.

Fortunately, everything was fine. Without the two guards, Mrs. Gao and her other women and children should be thankful that others did not bully them. No one would dare to do anything naughty.

"Miss Shen, you are back. Are you in no danger?"

Nanny Liu cared about her, but she was more worried about the safety of her own family, because that was a tiger.

"It's all right now. There was a tiger, but it wasn't an adult yet, just a young tiger. I chased it away."

"That's good. Miss Shen is really amazing. She's not even afraid of tigers. Let alone little tigers, even if they were cubs, we would be scared to death if we saw them."

Shen Nanzhi said, "I used to be a pig butcher, so I'm pretty good at dealing with these animals. Madam Liu, don't worry. Go back and have a rest. We'll keep watch and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Miss Shen. Our Madam asked me to give this to you as a token of appreciation."

It was a purse of silver, about one hundred taels, which was quite a lot.

Shen Nanzhi weighed it and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome. Thank you, ma'am."

Ma Liu breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as she took the money. Although Miss Shen didn't look like a bad person, there was no sign of a bad person written on her face. It was better to give her the money so that Miss Shen could make a profit and they would feel more at ease.

Shen Nanzhi didn't ask about Dong'er, and didn't even ask what Mrs. Gao was doing outside on a snowy day with a big belly. She wouldn't worry about other people's household affairs.

There has to be a limit to gossip. If you interfere too much in other people's lives, who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse?

Everything was peaceful in the second half of the night. The fire was lit all night long. Mrs. Gao rested well and was able to get up when she woke up in the morning.

Nanny Liu helped her wash and brush her teeth. There was plenty of hot water. There were so many fires, all burning hot water. She always had hot water when she got up early to cook and wash.

If there are not enough iron pots, you can use a few clay pots to heat the fire. You can also use the clay pots to boil ginseng chicken soup and give it to Mrs. Gao to nourish her body later.

Mrs. Gao wiped her body comfortably. The small carriage was a space of its own, sheltering the mother and son in safety and comfort, allowing them to forget the hardships and pains of yesterday.

"Madam, please feed the young master first. Miss Shen has made some chicken soup. I will bring it to you later."

"Well, Miss Shen has worked hard. She is the lifesaver of our family. When I return to the county, I will definitely repay her.

Madam, did you find out clearly what Miss Shen is going to do in the county town?"

Aunt Liu said, "I haven't had time to ask yet. Miss Shen is very busy. We are all counting on her. It won't be too late to ask her after we settle down in the city.

This girl is the smartest person I have ever met. She took the money because she was afraid that we would worry. But I can see that she doesn’t care about the money.

What's rare is that she has a kind heart, helps people without asking for anything in return, and doesn't ask around. I wonder which family has such a good girl."

"She is indeed a good person and worth making friends with. When Dong'er returns to the city, let someone sell her off."

"Okay, give Miss Shen an explanation, otherwise she will think that our wife is also an ungrateful person."

"Ah."

Madam Gao held the child in her arms, a chill in her eyes. Madam Liu sighed and said, "Madam, it's time to make a decision on some things, but they think your kindness is cowardice and easy to bully.

It almost cost you and the young master your life. You are the daughter of the Gao family. You have suffered enough grievances in your life in the past few years. I really feel sorry for you."

"Mammy, you don't need to say more. I understand. I originally had a little bit of softness in my heart, but they treated me like this. For the sake of the child, I can't be weak and indulge them anymore."

"I hope Madam can figure it out."

Mrs. Gao remained silent, just watching the baby sucking milk. The feeling of breastfeeding the child personally was really different. The child gave her great courage.

"Mammy, the chicken soup is ready. Miss Shen asked Madam if she wants to eat it?"

"I'll go get it myself later."

The carriage had two layers of cotton curtains, which blocked the cold wind to the greatest extent possible and prevented Mrs. Gao and the children from catching cold.

After eating and drinking, Shen Nanzhi directed everyone to clear the road and started their journey.

With more women, children and kids on board, the mule carts moved very slowly, almost like walking. They could only travel more than thirty miles a day, which was already the limit.

However, this distance is almost enough to reach the county town. Shen Nanzhi did not stop and encouraged everyone to work harder and try to stay overnight in an inn in the county town.

After last night’s tiger incident, no one dared to spend the night in the wild. It was too dangerous.

Fortunately it was a tiger, otherwise they would be in danger if they encountered a pack of wolves.

"Sister Nanzhi, the road ahead is very solid. It seems that someone has walked on it. Are we almost at the county town?"

When Shen Changan stepped on the snow, he felt something different and came to report to Shen Nanzhi.

"Really? That shouldn't be the case. According to the map, we won't reach the county town until dark. I'll go check it out."

Just as Shen Nanzhi walked over, a huge piece of wood rolled out from the side, across the middle of the official road, blocking their way.

The same noise came from behind, they were being surrounded.
