The head of the village pointed at Old Man Liu.

"You are the head of the family, so make your own decision. Don't mess around with these kids. I won't punish you with a stick today, but I can't encourage this kind of evil practices.

It’s already good enough that the Su family didn’t sue you at the government office, but you still have to pay the compensation you owe.”

When Old Man Liu heard this, he was so angry that his hands behind his back were shaking. The headman had already given him some face when he said this. If he continued to make trouble, his family might be in even greater trouble.

"Have you thought it through? If not, let me give you an idea. Since you have scared several children, just pay them one or two taels of silver as compensation, and let the matter go."

When Old Man Liu heard this, he wished he could fall over. He didn't know if this family could save two taels of silver throughout the year, and here they were asking for one tael.

When Mrs. Liu heard that she was going to be fined, she refused and pointed at the head of the village and said, "Why would the head of the village fine us? Let's not talk about whether the child is ours or not.

Even if we admit our mistakes, we shouldn't be punished like this. This is too severe!"

The head of the village said one or two taels of silver in order to allow them to haggle over the price so that there would be room for negotiation.

But seeing this old woman actually blaming me directly, she really doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.

I only heard the village head slowly say, "Then, old lady of the Liu family, how much do you think is appropriate?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "I think giving each of these children a copper coin is enough compensation. Logically speaking, these children shouldn't even be given a copper coin!

Basically, it's our baby, but some people just want this blessing and are unwilling to return the child to our family, so they say this on purpose.

Village chief, don't speak for him just because his family is rich, or you will be criticized in the future."

Before Old Man Su could get mad, the village head was the first to lose his seat and slammed the table, scolding, "What? You think I helped them because I accepted their favors, but you think I am slandering someone else's child and forcibly snatching the child away.

This crime is very minor, only worth a few copper coins? Not to mention that the old Su family would not agree to this, even our elders and fellow villagers would not agree to it.

Otherwise, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, and it can be solved by paying a few copper coins, everyone would want to take the risk, after all, the loss is not that big.

Since you are not satisfied with my judgment, then you can go to court to confront me! I will not take care of your mess anymore."

Old Man Su was also a smart man. When he heard this, he immediately took over the words from the head of the village.

"Don't even mention that our family might not agree to it for a tael of silver. My children would be frightened.

Moreover, you can be considered as kidnapping a child, since you don’t want to pay compensation, let’s confront each other in court.”

Seeing that things had gotten to this point, Old Man Liu knew that he had to pay out the tael of silver no matter what, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and apologized to Old Man Su.

"Brother, we are all from the nearby village. Please forgive me and let this good-for-nothing kid go. We will give you this tael of silver."

As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling face. After saying this, Old Man Su nodded and said, "I hope there won't be a next time. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as compensation, and I won't want such a grown man with no children."

"Oh, yes, you are right."

Finally, Old Man Liu borrowed a lot from the villagers who were watching, and added the little money he had on him to finally collect one or two taels of silver and handed it over.

The matter was finally over, and everyone returned to the village with their families.

On the way, Old Man Liu scolded his son, daughter-in-law and Old Lady Liu harshly.

“What a useless thing, going to someone else’s house to ask for a child without even any evidence.

If you can't get it, that's fine, but you dare to rob it, do you really think you are hooligans or bandits?"

Old Lady Liu was on the road, looking at Caifeng with hatred.

It was this bitch who threw away my good fortune, and now I don’t have the ability to get it back.

You just watch other people getting richer and richer while you yourself are still losing money.

And that damn little bitch is so lucky that she doesn't know that giving to her own father brings good luck to an outsider family instead.

After Old Man Su and his companions returned home, they gave the taels of silver they had obtained to Old Lady Su and explained to her the situation with the village head.

"This matter has been exposed. They will not dare to make trouble again in the future."

Mrs. Su frowned and said, "That's true, but I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it.

And judging from their expressions, they must have seen the mark on our granddaughter's hand when she was born, otherwise they wouldn't be so sure."

Old Man Su grabbed Old Lady Su's hand and said, "What are you afraid of? If enemies come, we will fight them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. Our good boy has so many people protecting him! They won't dare to do anything naughty again."

Old Mrs. Su slapped away the hand that her old man was holding.

"What are you doing? What if the children come in? You old pervert."

"What are you afraid of? I can't even touch my own wife."

When Su Muyao was carried to her mother by her father, she already felt dizzy.

I don’t know why, but on the way back, I just felt my head was swollen.

"Mom, I want to go to sleep for a while. Call me for dinner later."

"Go to sleep well, I'll come and call you for dinner."

Wang Taoxiu felt that she was already very tired after a day of school. The child was so young and had to go to the town. Then he hurried back and must be exhausted.

She closed the door and went to cook dinner with her sister-in-law.

At this time, Su Muyao was lying on the bed, feeling a terrible headache, as if her own space was shaking.

In order to understand the situation, I used my mind to check the items in the space, and found that the space that was originally full of things had become larger.

The most important thing is that the attic has become more luxurious.

When I opened the attic door, I found that there was an extra medicine furnace, many more books, as well as formulas for making medicine and the process of making medicine.

"No."

She can't use these things for the time being. Besides, even if she has the prescription, it will be useless without the herbs.

I had just finished thinking about these things and was about to go out for a walk after leaving the attic when I saw a new mountain closest to the house.

It was not until Su Muyao walked up the mountain that she discovered that the entire mountain was full of medicinal herbs, all kinds of rare medicinal herbs.

Such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Panax notoginseng, herba lycopodii, and hell fruit...

There are also many particularly precious medicinal materials that only appear in the medical books that I had briefly flipped through in the attic before, and even some herbs that are only recorded in history.

I was thinking how tiring it would be to climb up the mountain, and how nice it would be if I could reach the place I wanted in one go.
