CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: IF IT WERE US, WE COULD CATCH THEM TOO

When they said this, those people were all feeling guilty.

But when they thought of the real wild boar meat, they couldn’t help but straighten their backs to boost their courage.

Tang Qingning was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"If it weren’t for our family, you might have already been killed by the wild boars, how could you still be standing here demanding a share of the pork."

Tang Tuo also said angrily, "Our family risked our lives, and you couldn’t even hold the rope, putting our family at a disadvantage. If I were you, I wouldn’t even dare mention the pork share."

The others sneered, "Why shouldn’t we? We did pull the rope, so we have no shame in sharing the pork!"

Zhang Chao said coldly, "Did you really hold onto it tightly?"

Pei Shu’er, seeing these people wouldn’t give up without a share, laughed coldly.

"What a conscience! You were supposed to trap five wild boars; three ran away, strictly speaking, you should only get a share of two."

"Since you claim all five boars involved effort, we’ll give you an extra share of one wild boar. These two live boars will be divided from the three dead ones, keeping your total unchanged."

Saying this, Pei Shu’er coldly scanned the troublemakers.

"However! Our family will not cooperate with you on anything in the future!"

With Pei Shu’er having said this, those who initially wanted to make a fuss had nothing more to say, as their total did not change.

As for whether they would cooperate in the future, who could say, after all, the people on the Deserted Mountain were self-contained. If our family encountered any issues, surely they wouldn’t refuse help?

They didn’t believe it!

They didn’t take Pei Shu’er’s words to heart and instead waited quietly for the wild boar meat distribution.

Their eyes were full of greed, eager to grab those five wild boars and gnaw on them.

At the same time, they stared intently, ensuring our family wouldn’t renege!

This was theirs!

Seeing everyone calm down, Pei Shu’er instructed Yinxing Zhang to count how many people participated, which families provided tools, and how much labor each family contributed.

It was time to count contributions and distribute according to effort.

Just then, Tang Qingrou suddenly spoke softly.

"Sister-in-law, this isn’t right."

Pei Shu’er looked up and coldly glanced at Tang Qingrou who was leaning against Niu Qian.

Tang Qingrou shrank back into Niu Qian’s arms under Pei Shu’er’s cold gaze, then spoke with a hint of sobbing.

"Sister-in-law, I was just expressing my opinion. Why are you so harsh with me?"

Pei Shu’er replied coldly, "Where is this not right?"

Tang Qingrou hesitated before speaking.

"Now there is one female and one male wild boar alive; the female can continuously give birth to piglets. Logic dictates that we should wait for this sow to give birth and distribute the piglets."

Tang Peizhong coldly glanced at Tang Qingrou, thinking she was being traitorous!

How could they treat their family like this!

The other agitators obviously saw this as the best solution and clamored to split the piglets.

With piglets, who needed pork? They could endure a bit longer.

"Split the piglets, split the piglets!"

"We want piglets."

Pei Shu’er’s gaze at these people was icy.

"But everyone, don’t forget, we always talked about dividing pork, not piglets."

"Moreover, it’s extremely difficult to take care of this sow. I’m afraid even if you raise it, you might not keep it alive."

Tang Zan played with a sword in his hand, casting a cold glance at the troublemakers.

If looks could kill, these people would be dead by now.

The troublemakers were intimidated by Tang Zan’s gaze and reluctantly fell silent.

Aunt Lin saw others hesitating and quickly coaxed them.

"Everyone, don’t be fooled by Pei Shu’er. These two live pigs are the best; once there are piglets, everyone won’t worry about life anymore. We must persist."

The people were incited again, and what Pei Shu’er saw was glaring greed in them.

They wished to grab all good things without considering their capability.

Aunt Lin, hiding behind Niu Qian, spoke with her neck stiffened.

"You were just lucky to have everyone surround the wild boar. If we had someone helping, I believe we would also catch wild boars."

Those causing trouble had already gathered into a group, their eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, if it were us, we would catch them too."

Watching our family catch wild boars didn’t seem so difficult after all, catching them with a few moves.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes glinted with cold light, but her face still carried a smile.

"Really? Since everyone says so, then catch them and show us."

Aunt Lin laughed wildly, feeling triumphant.

"Ha ha, I wish I could, but unfortunately, these wild boars are all subdued now."

Pei Shu’er said, "How could that be? These two wild boars seem pretty eager to spar with you just now."

Everyone didn’t have time to react to what Pei Shu’er meant, and before they knew it, Pei Shu’er had crouched down, seemingly doing nothing.

After she left for two minutes, the two wild boars suddenly stood up.

They wobbled and shook their heads like they were drunk.

At this moment, the people who were excitedly discussing how to divvy up the benefits felt a little uneasy.

But thinking the wild boars were still under our guard, there wasn’t much to fear.

"Look, these two wild boars are so weak. If it were me, I could subdue them too."

"Yeah, I could do it too."

Pei Shu’er discreetly kept her distance from these wild boars, casually sprinkling some powder to attract wild animals toward the troublemakers.

The intention was to avoid hurting the innocent.

After all, many of the felons outside followed the rules, obediently registering with Yinxing and did nothing wrong.

The two wild boars swayed, and those troublemakers, who were previously scared, had their fears dissipated.

Seeing their massive size reignited the greed in their hearts.

They only thought about how much more they could get if they divided the live pigs, ignoring everything else.

As Pei Shu’er strolled to the outskirts of the crowd, the two wild boars finally regained full consciousness, their eyes flashing with beastly ferocity.

They charged at the troublemakers, and those people initially didn’t react. But when they saw the surging wild boar, their faces instantly turned pale.

They never expected our family would actually release the wild boars so easily.

Weren’t they afraid of the wild boars causing havoc?

Clearly, it was so difficult earlier to catch the wild boars!
