I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

Those who came with them included Song Anning's grandparents, the second son of the Song family, Song Nian, and his wife Liu.

"Aning, put the knife down, Second Grandpa will take care of it for you."

The village head Song Erhe took a puff of his pipe. After all, he was the village head and had seen many scenes, big and small. He walked up calmly and took a look at Song Anyue and the other two.

Song An Ning was in a dilemma. Song Erhe was a family member and the village head. If he didn't listen to him today, the villagers would say that the head couldn't even manage his own children and couldn't win the support of the people.

His thoughts turned over and over again, and Song An Ning turned sideways and winked quickly at his grandmother Zhang.

When Zhang saw Song An Ning like this, she felt relieved. She knew that this girl was just acting and couldn't really do anything to kill someone.

Then go ahead and make a fuss. She is over fifty years old and half buried in the ground. If she is not afraid of death, what shame does she have?

Everyone saw Zhang rushing to the children, hugging Song Anyue and howling heart-wrenchingly.

"My poor son, where are you...

Come and see how your children are being bullied! If you were here, those damn people wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on your children…”

Zhang slapped her thigh and cried. She was a little reserved at first, but when she thought about her eldest son who was gone, she showed her true feelings.

Many of the elderly people among the onlookers, who had watched Song Feng grow up, also wiped away tears.

"Sister-in-law, you...ah..."

Song Erhe dared to say a few words to anyone in the village, but he was respectful to his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Song Anning's grandfather, Song Dashan, also covered his chest and sighed, "Erhe, do you think there's no one left in our family? Anyone can step on us.

I’m old, and I don’t even know when the kids are being bullied. When I die, I won’t be able to close my eyes…”

"Pah, pah, pah. Big brother, don't say that. Our children can't be bullied like that!"

Song Erhe said, just now when he saw those three poor little guys, he felt aggrieved, but he endured it again and again, then turned around and pointed at Widow Song and cursed:

"Look at what a horrible thing you've done to your child. You're a widow, putting on makeup all day long, for who are you trying to impress? Don't think I don't know the dirty things you do behind my back.

Your Huzi is here to bully people, and look at Ah Yue. A girl's face getting disfigured is a big deal. What do you think we should do?

"And the parents of those kids, stop hiding in the crowd and act like idiots. Come out and tell me what's going on."

"I say, I say, Aning, please let Hu Zi go first. I'll kneel down for you, okay?"

Thinking of what Song An Ning had done in the past, Widow Song dared not say anything harsh. Just because others didn't dare, didn't mean Song An Ning didn't dare. Her body softened, and she wanted to admit her mistake on Hu Zi's behalf.

She was willing to kneel, but Song An Ning was still worried about shortening her life. She had beaten her and scolded her, and now her hands were still numb from slapping her. It was almost time to end it. She spoke coldly:

“Let Hu Zi kowtow and apologize to my brothers and sisters, and these few people should also kneel down and apologize.

In addition, two taels of silver will be used for the medical expenses. My Ah Yue is disfigured, and my two younger brothers also have many injuries. Two taels is a bargain for you. As for who will pay how much, we can discuss it among ourselves."

"Two taels, two taels is too much..."

Several parents of the children whispered to each other and put all the blame on Hu Zi.

"If Hu Zi hadn't brought my son here, this wouldn't have happened today. Hu Zi's family should have taken more.

Besides, the Song girl also fought back, so isn't that even?"

"How can you live your life from now on if you keep arguing with that jerk about this?"

After thinking about it, a few people decided that since they had offended this person, they could solve the problem by spending some money, so they might as well take it and smooth things over.

"That's right, but my child did do something wrong. We... accept the money."

"Second Grandfather, Aning is young, so you should make the decision."

Song Erhe glanced at Song An Ning and smiled secretly in his heart. This little bastard, the conditions have been stated, so he should be the one to offend people, right?

"Ahem, Aning is right. Widow Song, your family's Huzi was the one who took the lead and came up with the idea. Your family will contribute 800 coins, and the remaining five will each contribute 240 coins.

You kids should kowtow and apologize. Your parents didn't teach you that, so I, the village head, have nothing to say.

Today, you insulted Axun and his sister first. Now you should kowtow and apologize in front of the whole village. You must pay back for the evil you have done.

I'm putting this on hold. If this happens again, no matter how old or young you are, Banyue Village will not tolerate it. Get out of the village now!"

Seeing that the head of the village was angry, Widow Song and the other families admitted their mistakes with their children, and took money from home. Only then was the matter settled.

The bullying kids were all scared silly. Hu Zi and another little one wet their pants and couldn't even cry. Even after walking a long way away from the Song family, they still felt the cold sickle on their necks.

Without the excitement, the villagers dispersed in twos and threes, using Song An Ning to scare their children as they walked:

"See? That girl from the Song family is really killing kids. If you don't obey, I'll throw you out the front door of the Song family."

"Which girl dares to pull out a knife? Only she does! Sanniu, if you tear your clothes again, I'll call Song Anning."

"This is what happens when you bully others. The village head just said that not only will you be beaten, but you'll also be driven out of the village..."

The children burst into tears. That evil woman was so scary. She would really kill them.

"..."

For the next few months, all the children in Banyue Village were incredibly well-behaved. Whenever they heard the name "Song Anning," they burst into tears. They wouldn't dare to do that again. They wouldn't go back to the mountain again.

After everyone left, Song Nian and Liu called a doctor over to treat the wound on Song Anyue's head and prescribed some medicine.

Song Zeyuan and Song Zexun were not seriously injured, but the bruises on their bodies were heartbreaking enough.

"Uncle, Aunt, here's one ounce of silver. Buy some good food for Xun to nourish him."

"My aunt has some money at home. You should keep it well. It's a good idea to buy some food for Ayuan and Ayue, and also for your mother..."

Liu pushed back, and Song Dashan shook his head in disapproval: "Second daughter-in-law, this is the silver that Ah Xun deserves, two taels of silver, divided equally among the three brothers and sisters.

The friendship between adults is for adults, you can't make the decision for them, so try your best to buy some food and nourish the children."

After the old man gave the order, Song An Ning obediently counted out six hundred and seventy coins, strung them together and handed them to Liu. Liu took it a little embarrassedly. There was still a lot of work to do at home, so after sitting for a while, the couple wanted to carry Song Zexun back.

"Uncle, take this back and let my brothers and sisters have some meat too."

Song An Ning took out a pheasant from her backpack and handed it to Song Nian. This family is all good. After what happened today, she was very grateful for their support. Money can be earned again, and the three pheasants are just right for the three families to share. She can't let their efforts be in vain.

The pheasant struggled hard when it saw the light, and Mr. Song and Zhang also gathered around.
