Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 171 Human Relationships

"Okay, I'll go talk to them!" Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "If they agree, I'll wave to you, and you can come down and drag the deer away."

"The remaining two deer, I'll have them brought over after you finish this one, okay?"

Wang Yu nodded again, her gaze returning to the sika deer on the stroller, drool practically pouring out of her mouth. Her face was full of impatience as she silently urged, "I know, I know, you're too long-winded. Go tell them already!"

Tang Li straightened her face again and added seriously, "Also, you're not allowed to bite them, and you're not allowed to bare your teeth or give them a hard time anymore. If you're going to reconcile, you have to do it properly, understand?"

"Hmph, so long-winded," Wang Yuyu muttered to herself, but still nodded obediently, her eagerness almost overflowing.

"Everyone in the forest knows I'm the most trustworthy person; if I want someone dead, they won't live past midnight!"

Tang Li didn't dare to delay. She turned around and ran quickly to the iron gate, then said to the old village chief of Sujia Village with a wry smile, "Grandpa Su, you heard that too, didn't you?"

"This guy insists on demanding three deer before he'll truly reconcile; he's asking for the moon and is far too greedy!"

"I heard you." The old village chief nodded slowly, his gaze falling on the enormous creature on the snowman's shoulder, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes!

Even though he had lived most of his life, he had never seen such a majestic Siberian tiger with such a robust physique.

He sighed softly and waved his hand, "Three heads it is, consider it a loss to avoid further trouble."

"In the end, it was our village that provoked it, and we should admit it."

"Okay! I'll call him over."

Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "Don't be afraid later. I've already told him he won't bite you."

Upon hearing this, the two young men behind the old village chief turned deathly pale and instinctively took a half-step back, their eyes filled with undisguised terror.

The old village chief remained calm and nodded slightly to Tang Li: "Call it over."

Tang Li's actions also had a hidden agenda: she wanted the people of Sujia Village to see firsthand just how powerful the person they had provoked was, and to see clearly Wang Yuyu's size and strength, so that they wouldn't later say behind her back that she was using this as an excuse to deliberately provoke them.

Tang Li immediately waved towards the snowman, signaling that Wang Yu could come over.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyu leaped off the snow platform, splashing up a cloud of snow as he landed.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the injury to his right hind leg. His mind was filled with the desire to face the three people from Sujia Village in the strongest possible way, to make them understand that he, Wang Yuyu, was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing him leap into the air, Tang Li's heart jumped into her throat. Her eyes were fixed on his right hind leg, and her palms were sweating, fearing that he would be injured even more.

After landing, Wang Yu stood up straight, exuding the oppressive aura of a top predator, and walked towards the crowd step by step, each step feeling like it was stepping on people's hearts.

The two men behind the old village chief were already so intimidated by this aura that they couldn't lift their heads, their eyes darting away, not daring to meet Wang Yuyu's gaze.

Only the old village chief, who was knowledgeable and had long since become indifferent to life and death, met Wang Yuyu's gaze without blinking, his expression calm and unwavering.

Wang Yu walked to the cart, standing no more than five meters away from the others. His gaze lingered on the old village chief's face for a moment, a hint of barely perceptible admiration flashing in his eyes: "This old man does have some guts, much better than those two cowards behind him."

Then it bit the sika deer's neck, its movements both wild and elegant, and slowly dragged the deer off the cart, slowly pulling it into the depths of the forest, where it soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only after Wang Yuyu's figure had completely disappeared from sight did Tang Li breathe a sigh of relief, her face instantly breaking into a smile: "Congratulations, Grandpa Su! This matter is finally settled, and you can finally live in peace!"

The old village chief looked at Tang Li with admiration in his eyes and said with a smile, "Little girl, you are very lucky. This is a born tiger king. It is not something that an ordinary person can do to gain its trust."

"Grandpa Su, you flatter me. It was all luck, just luck!"

Tang Li waved her hand modestly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and the pride in her eyes was impossible to hide. "It's just that I'm lucky. A secure job is willing to be close to me. Otherwise, how could I have this blessing?"

The old village chief smiled without saying a word, then reached out and took Tang Li's hand, leading her outside: "Little Tang, for the remaining two deer, we'll deliver one every Monday for the next two weeks."

"We won't come in person, lest our secure jobs upset us and cause unnecessary trouble."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll just tell him about the job!" Tang Li nodded, her tone relaxed. "As long as the meat is delivered, he won't mind these little things."

After walking a distance, the old village chief suddenly took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into Tang Li's pocket when no one was looking. He said earnestly, "Little Tang, please put in a good word for us with your job. This old man wants to live a few more years."

Tang Li felt the thickness of the red envelope and was startled. She immediately tried to take it out, but waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "This is unacceptable, Grandpa Su! Please take it back!"

She knew that there was definitely a lot of money in the red envelope, and she absolutely could not accept it.

The old village chief pressed her hand down, his tone insistent: "Little Tang, don't refuse, just accept it."

"If you don't accept it, this old man will be very unhappy!"

"Please accept this as a gift from your elder to you, the younger generation."

"This..." Tang Li hesitated, quickly calculating in her mind. In the Northeast, it is common to give gifts when asking someone for a favor. If you insist on not accepting them, people will think you are not honest and unreliable.

Seeing the old village chief's determined eyes, she finally softened, realizing that if she didn't accept it, the old village chief would not be able to put his mind at ease.

After a moment's hesitation, Tang Li slowly nodded: "Alright, Grandpa Su, I'll accept this red envelope!"

"But don't worry, consider this money as your donation to the zoo, specifically for feeding the tigers. We will never use it for our own purposes."

"Good, good, good!" The old village chief immediately beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly, finally relieved.

Tang Li escorted the three old village chiefs to the zoo gate, watched them leave, touched the red envelope in her pocket, and then turned and headed straight for the zoo director's office.

"Bang!"

A loud crash shattered the office's tranquility as the office door was violently pushed open, slamming against the wall and bouncing once more.

Wang Weiguo, who was leisurely sipping tea by the window, suddenly trembled, almost dropping the thermos in his hand. A few drops of warm tea splashed out and landed on his sleeve without him noticing.

He looked up at Tang Li, who had barged in with a flurry of activity, his brow furrowing slightly. His tone held a hint of helplessness, but he wasn't truly angry: "Little Tang, can't you knock before coming in?"

"You scared me! I almost spilled the tea all over myself."
