Chapter 70: The Lord's Reward, Divide the Silver

When Qiao Chao woke up, the doctor had already taken his pulse. The whole family stood at the head of his bed. After taking his pulse, the doctor opened the wound that Zhen Yue had bandaged last night and took a look.

"It's been handled very well, there's no problem. I have a bottle of golden wound medicine here, this one heals faster, I'll give it to you if you want it, but your wound medicine will also work, it just heals slower."

Zhen Yue: "We need a bottle at home." It may not be useful now, but it may be useful in the future. This incident has given her a warning that she must keep some medicines at home. If she catches a cold or fever, or is injured like now, she doesn't need to wait for the doctor to come.

"Okay, this one is more expensive, one bottle costs half a tael of silver."

Mrs. Qiao Chen wanted to take the money immediately, but Zhen Yue quickly took out the money. This was the money from Qiao Chao's last painting sale. She did not hand it over because these were paintings by Qiao Chao and he sold them by himself.

Qian on the side was wondering in her heart that her sister-in-law had saved so much money?

After the doctor left, Qiao Chao also got up from the bed. He didn't have a serious problem, just a minor injury.

At this time, outside, people from the government also came to the village. They came here after receiving the news that a big tiger was killed in Da Nan Village.

Several officers and soldiers were shocked when they saw the body of the tiger, because the tiger was so big, "How did you kill it?"

Before Qiao Feng could say anything, Ding Er on the side said, "I know, I know. It was mainly Qiao Da who killed it. Although others helped, it was mainly Qiao Da's credit. I saw it. Qiao Da flew up and climbed onto the tiger's back and chopped it twice in a row..."

Ding Er was dancing and talking about what happened last night, "If it weren't for Qiao Da, many of us would have died."

The officer looked at the village chief, "Is that so?"

Qiao Feng nodded, "Yes. It was Qiao Da who finally stabbed the big insect's head with the knife that killed it."

The officer looked around and asked, "Where's Qiao Da?"

Qiao Feng: "Qiao Da was injured and is resting at home."

The officer nodded. How could he not get hurt after killing the big tiger? It was a blessing that no one died. "Take me to have a look." We still need to pay attention to the main force that killed the big tiger.

"This way."

The Qiao family's Laba porridge had just been cooked. Everyone was preparing to eat the porridge and then go back to work when someone knocked on the door. "Dashan?"

Qiao Dashan was still holding Laba porridge in his hand. When he heard the village chief's voice, he quickly put the porridge down and went to open the door. In fact, he didn't need to open it because the door was broken. "What's wrong with the village chief?" Then he saw the soldiers behind Qiao Feng.

"Hello, adults. This is..."

The village chief said: "Your Qiao Da played a big role in killing the big bug last night. The adults are here to visit your Qiao Da."

"Oh, please come in."

Before entering the house, several officers and soldiers smelled the Laba porridge and swallowed their saliva, feeling hungry. As soon as they entered the house, they saw that the yard was a bit messy. They heard that the big insect had entered the yard of this family last night.

Qiao Dashan shouted towards the kitchen, "Mrs. Chen, quickly bring out the chairs for the adults to prepare."

A table was quickly set up in the living room, a few chairs were placed, and a few bowls of Laba porridge were brought out. "Adults, please eat. Today is Laba Festival. Everyone will be safe and sound after eating Laba porridge." Mrs. Qiao Chen also handed a bowl to the village chief.

At first, the officers and soldiers thought they saw Qiao Da lying on the bed with serious injuries. Unexpectedly, Qiao Da looked a little pale but was actually fine. Qiao Er helped him out of the kitchen, so everyone sat in the living room.

"The adults heard that it was mainly your family's Qiao who killed the big bug, so they came to visit."

Qiao Dashan rubbed his hands and said, "No, no."

Qiao Chao bowed his hands and said, "It's all my responsibility. A big bug came to my house yesterday. I was afraid that my family would be eaten by the bug, so I fought hard. It was mainly because of the help of other villagers. I couldn't do it alone."

The village chief nodded, "I know your Qiao Er also helped."

Qiao Er's hand was also slightly scratched, but not seriously. He had also gotten scratches when chopping wood. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, I didn't do anything."

Qiao Chao patted him and said, "At that time at Wang's house, it's a good thing you came to help."

The officer said: "No matter what, the master is very happy that you can kill the tiger by yourselves. This time we are asked to come here to reward you. We will drag the tiger away in a while."

The soldier took out five taels of silver and handed it to the village chief. "I will go back and tell you how you beat the tiger. Thank you for your hard work."

The village chief took the silver and said, "No, no, it's what we should do." But he was cursing in his heart. It was obviously their village that killed the tiger, but in the end they wanted to drag it away. If they sold the tiger, they didn't know how much money they could make, but now they only had five taels of silver.

Erzhu was injured so seriously that this little money was not enough, yet the village chief still had a look of gratitude on his face.

Finally, after eating the Laba porridge, the officers and soldiers followed the village chief to see Chen Erzhu, who was the most seriously injured. Chen Erzhu's arm was torn to the bone and he had lost too much blood. He is still lying in bed. He doesn't know whether he can still use his arm in the future. However, this is already a very good result, and no one died.

The doctor said that he needs to take good care of himself and maybe he will get better in a year. As for whether it will affect his work, it depends on the situation. Chen's family members are crying and don't know what to do.

The soldier couldn't bear to see the tiger suffer soreness, so he gave it some medicine to comfort the tiger and then dragged it away.

After the soldiers left, the village chief discussed with everyone and decided to give the five taels of silver reward to the Chen family, after all, Chen Erzhu was so seriously injured.

At the beginning, some people were quite dissatisfied. After all, their men also contributed and gave two taels of silver to the Chen family. Wouldn’t the rest of the people only get very little money?

"My Da Niu has also contributed a lot. They have been given so much money, how much can our Da Niu get?" Mrs. Zhang muttered to the side.

Mrs. Wang: "My house was destroyed by a giant insect last night. I want at least half a tael of silver, right?"

"Bah! If it weren't for my son, your whole family would have been eaten up. How dare you ask for money?"

"What do you mean your son? Your son didn't dare to go up. It was Qiao Da who drove the tiger away. What does it have to do with your son? Your son would just hide aside with a spear. He would only dare to go up and stab the tiger after it is dead."

"Then my son also deserves credit!"

A bunch of people were arguing over the silver. The village chief yelled, "Arguing, arguing, arguing all you want. I have the final say on who gets the silver. If you feel it's unfair, go find the officers and soldiers and talk to them."

The group of people immediately fell silent. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang both kept silent but didn't dare to say anything. They didn't dare to call the officers and soldiers back.

The village chief glanced at them and said, "Give half a tael of silver to the Qiao family. If it weren't for Qiao Da, all of you might have been eaten by the giant insects. If you have any objections, I won't let anyone go to find the Qiao family if there are any giant insects or wild boars in the village in the future."

If Chen Erzhu had not been seriously injured, Qiao Feng wanted to give more to the Qiao family, but other people also made contributions, and if they gave too much, it would be difficult for the Qiao family to divide it.

So in the end the Qiao family got half a tael of silver, and the remaining two and a half taels were shared by the others.
