Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557: Chapter 491: The Lonely Sister and Brother of the Ancient Hunter’s Family 12

Rong Zhimin and several of his brothers were all waiting.

Especially the ones from the third brother’s family, they had a son who had followed them up the mountain, and under no circumstances could anything go wrong with him.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted the bedraggled group as they descended, "They’re back, they’re back..."

The crowd immediately looked over and saw their miserable states... some had even lost their shoes.

Some had their clothes ripped and torn.

They had looked respectable going up the mountain.

By the time they came down, they looked like beggars.

What on earth had happened?

"Dad, the, the mountain has a tiger..." Rong Yuqing had at least grown up as a village child, so his strength was definitely better than that of the house servants.

He was running at the forefront.

When Rong Zhiliang and his wife heard what their eldest son said, they were startled into a cold sweat.

Before they could say anything, they saw a house servant carrying the steward back.

The steward was both frightened and in pain; he couldn’t care less about anything else now.

He immediately had the house servants take him away... he feared that if he left a moment later, his leg would be ruined.

However, before he left, he remembered something.

He looked grimly at Rong Zhimin, "That one hundred taels of silver, do you not intend to return it?"

If this silver wasn’t taken back, the Old Master would probably send him over again.

This godforsaken place... he didn’t want to come here ever again.

When Rong Zhimin heard about returning the silver, his face froze for a moment, "Zhou, Housekeeper Zhou, my niece took fifty taels of that silver..."

That was the excuse he could think of; after all, there was a tiger on the mountain, and that damned girl had taken her brother up there. Even if she had any ability, for all he knew, the tiger might have eaten them by now.

In a situation without proof of death, naturally, the living had the final say.

Rong Zhiliang and Rong Zhicheng were shocked to hear their eldest brother’s words... they couldn’t restrain the expressions on their faces for a moment.

It wasn’t until Rong Zhimin turned his head to ask the two of them, "Third brother, fourth brother, wasn’t it Yan who took the fifty taels?"

His meaning couldn’t be clearer.

Fifty taels was a lot of money for these farming families.

They naturally nodded, "Yes, she took fifty taels..."

Just then, Granny Li stepped out from the crowd, "Zhimin, are you three brothers without shame? That fifty taels was stolen from Yan’s mother by you, and what she took was her own parents’ money. The whole village and the village chief can bear witness to that, we all heard it back then."

The onlooking villagers...

We don’t want to be the witnesses.

Each one either shrank back or hung their heads low.

Granny Li was furious when she saw them like this.

"Think about it, when Rong Zhihu was around, he drove away the wolves from the mountain with his bare strength, and many of you have benefited from Rong Zhihu in one way or another. Now that he’s gone, you can’t even bear witness? You people... need to have a conscience..."

Everyone’s expression stiffened.

That’s when the village chief stood up, "Yan took the money her aunt stole from her mother’s hands; this was admitted by Rong Zhimin’s wife herself before. If this matter goes to court, I can bear witness."

He didn’t believe that Yan and her brother were just dead like that.

Or perhaps he had found his conscience!

When he, the village chief, stood up and gave testimony, others gradually followed suit with their own witness statements.

This made Rong Zhimin and his brothers furious.

The steward only thought of leaving as soon as possible.

Furthermore, he truly believed that the siblings must have been eaten by the mountain tiger by now.

So, impatient to waste any more time here, he was eager to go back and get his leg treated!

"Rong Zhimin, the silver was entrusted to you, so hurry up and bring it here. Otherwise, I will take you all to the government office right now... and accuse you of swindling wealth."
