This feeling is really good. It’s the first time since I was a child that I’ve had this experience. I wonder if I won’t have to endure it anymore. A happy smile appeared on my cheeks. After all, my grandma was there, so I didn’t dare to be too unrestrained and didn’t laugh out loud.

The old lady took out another three taels of silver, clenched it tightly, and reluctantly handed it to Ni'er, "You can take off your gloves now."

The eldest brother was really heartbroken to see such a scene. His mother gave the money to the third brother and not to himself. Today, he had to pay out four taels of silver. It was estimated that this was all he could get even if he borrowed from most of the village.

It was obvious that the gloves were a trick of Niu Xiaoni. How could she not take them off? If not, she would catch her and beat her up. She was afraid that she couldn't take them off, so she stared at her with unfriendly eyes. What would the use of getting the money be? Sooner or later, she would find a chance to make her lose face.

Nier felt her uncle's malice, but she was not afraid. After all, the medical skills she had learned from her master for so long were not learned in vain.

He is such an old man and an elder, but he wants to harm me for just a few taels of silver. How could I have such a relative?

Besides, the money should have been returned. If Fugui hadn't stolen the gloves himself, the repayment of the money would have been a long time coming.

Nier took the money and put it in her hand to weigh it. Because she often helped her master weigh medicine and collect money, she had trained her hands to be more accurate than a scale. She could tell the authenticity and weight of the money just by feeling.

Even though Fugui cheated the old lady, after all he had been her beloved grandson for many years, and he apologized, so she is probably forgiven.

Besides, my hands are now swollen, and if I don’t pay, they will be crippled.

This money... well... it is indeed real. Grandma has really spent a lot of money today.

The old lady looked at Fugui beside her, her face had turned pale, and then she looked at Ni'er weighing it slowly, she couldn't help but speak, urging: "Hurry up."

Nier ignored the old lady's urging, slowly put the money in her pocket, entered the system, turned off the location tracker, and loosened the restraint on Fugui, "Okay, you can pick it now."

The old lady and the eldest son picked one each. Fugui's hands finally saw the light of day again. He had never felt so comfortable before and jumped for joy.

I looked at it carefully again and again, and found that the fingertips of both hands were already very red and swollen. If I had delayed a little longer, I would have thought that they would have been really useless.

The old lady snatched the gloves from the eldest brother's hand and threw them on the ground. "What a piece of junk, we don't want it. Fuguier, let's go home."

I wanted to hold Fugui's hand, but I was afraid that he would feel pain, so I had to hold his arm.

Fugui was now afraid of Ni'er. He struggled to break away from Grandma, picked up the gloves that had fallen on the ground, shook off the dirt on them, and obediently handed them to Ni'er.

When the old lady saw this scene, her heart was broken. She thought that the treasure she held in her hands actually went to pick up the things that had been thrown away and returned them to the owner respectfully. She turned her back and no longer looked at this side.

"Nier, can you...can you forgive me?" Fugui was a little nervous. He clasped his hands together and rubbed them constantly, fearing that the other party would not forgive him and that he would be in trouble in the future.

Now their family is doing well, and they have the protection of the county magistrate. Only grandma and the others cannot see the situation clearly. If they hold a grudge against me, I will be so depressed that I will have trouble drinking cold water in the future.

If you want to survive in Niujia Village, you can't make things uncomfortable. You have to give in when you should.

Ni'er felt that Fugui could please grandma and become her treasure, and he really had some sense.

You can't be too absolute. If he gets cocky again, you'll have to take the trouble to discipline him. "It depends on how you perform in the future."

Fugui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never steal anything again."

She didn't say that we are family after all and asked her to forgive herself. At that time, her grandmother must have hated her for what she did to her.

As long as they don't use any tricks against our own family, it would be good enough if they trip us up secretly.

Fugui quickly walked to the waiting grandma, and the three of them walked home together.

Zhuzi's mother and Zhuzi watched the man walk away, and then stepped forward to thank him, "Ni'er, it's really thanks to you today. Otherwise, my Zhuzi would have been scratched on the face and didn't get any compensation. This is really hard to swallow."

Seeing that there was no expression on Ni'er's face, I thought that after all, both families had the surname Niu, and they were one family before. Even if there was a gap now, it was not certain how it would develop in the future. How could I say such things to them?

He slapped himself in his heart and added, "My Zhuzi did something wrong. He shouldn't have robbed other people's things. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."

Nier nodded slightly. This family was quite sensible. "Actually, I am helping myself. It's getting late. Go back and rest."

Zhuzi and his mother left quickly, and when they could no longer see Ni'er and her family, they took out the ounce of silver, which emitted a soft light under the moonlight.

The two of them looked at the moon for a while, then reluctantly put it away and continued on their way home.

Ni'er took out the three taels of silver and wanted to put it where she usually kept her money, but she hesitated.

After all, my uncle still owes so much money, and they are all well-known families. The consequences of not being able to pay back the money can be imagined.

Besides, three taels of silver is not a small amount of money, and I can’t tell what my father is thinking from his expression.

If something unexpected really happened to my uncle, my dad probably wouldn't want to see it. After all, he is his brother, so it's better to let him make the decision himself.

After thinking for a while, Nier took out the money and put it into the third brother's hand.

"Dad, we have already spent all our money on those big things. These three taels of silver are all our savings. I'll leave it with you. If uncle comes to borrow money, you decide whether to give it or not."

Although I am in charge of the family's money, the situation still needs to be explained.

Now there are really only these three taels of silver left. I won't feel bad about giving it all away. It can also preserve the brotherhood between my father and uncle and not put my father in a difficult position.

If anything happens to my uncle in the future, my father will definitely not blame me.

The third brother knew that if Fugui had not happened to steal the gloves today, the old lady would definitely not have given him the money.

Even if something happens to the eldest son, his mother will only think that it is his own fault and money is more important than her son's life.

After living with her for so many years, I have a thorough understanding of the old lady's love of money and her stingy character.

I didn't expect Ni'er could do such a thing. That family treated her so badly before, but they still thought of helping her at such a critical moment.

If the county magistrate had not seen clearly, I would be the one thrown into prison.

I'm afraid that family would stay away from me, avoiding me like the plague, and would not spend a penny.

There is a great possibility that you will be kicked out of your home and not even recognized, and become a stranger in the future.
