“That’s… That’s not what I meant!”
After being yelled at by Patriarch Liu,
An Hung naing was less of a shrew,
but that still wasn’t enough to shut her up, “Patriarch, what I meant to say
was, after the incident at the Cheng’s a while back, now only were there scary
animals like snakes and tigers and wolves outside and it was a hassle for us to
leave town also. Isn’t it only fair for us to ask for compensation from the
Cheng’s? We need our livelihood too, right, everyone?”
Toward the end, An Hung niang turned and asked the villagers.
Her purpose was, naturally, to stir up discontent and hoping there she was able
to get more villagers to stand on her side.
“Liu Daming, sit down first!” Patriarch
took a look at him and said.
Liu Daming did not cause any further
trouble. An Hung niang saw that
nobody else had raised a fuss and sat down disgruntledly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao has remained silent this
entire time. With the exception of the trouble-causing An Hung niang, she has to consider other issues.
For the safety of the villagers, she had
essentially put these villagers under house arrest. They were right that this
had caused great inconvenience for every one. Perhaps she needed to give them
back their freedom.
As for the other issues…
Cheng Xiao Xiao look at her father,
curious how he would address this.
It was true that Cheng Biyuan was
thinking about this. He looked at the villagers somewhat apologetically, “We
are truly sorry. We had, indeed, overlooked that. Rest be assured, the
villagers will be able to leave the village starting tomorrow. We won’t be
stopping anyone anymore!
“That being said…” Cheng Biyuan paused
and frowned, “I believe that there will be dangers outside. Old Patriarch, I
want to say this upfront, if anyone ran into any kind of dangerous outside of
the village, we will not be liable for that. Of course, if anyone brought
trouble into the village. Those are not on us either. I hope Old Patriarch will
look into issues like that when they arise!”
“Mr. Cheng, you mean there will still be
those who’d harm our villagers?” asked Old Patriarch with uneasiness.
Cheng Biyuan shook his head, “Old
Patriarch, I can’t say for sure. Maybe, maybe not. We’ve all heard of
self-fulfilling prophecy. I certainly wish for everybody’s safety!”
“Old Patriarch, Mr. Cheng. Don’t
overthink this. What could possibly happen? As long as we leave everybody else
alone. I have been wanting to leave the village for a while now. Let’s go and
get some supplies from the town tomorrow!”
“Yeah, we can’t be kept here
indefinitely. How’s that different than being in jail? Even thought Mr. Cheng
said this was for our safety, but we can’t stay here forever, am I right?”
“What trouble could there be? We don’t
have any treasures. It’s not like anyone want to rob us for our possessions. We
have been needed to refill our supplies for a while now!”
“…….”

Battle flag detected, how many will get crippled by the Condor school before they beg the MC to take steps?
ReplyDeleteI hope the villagers die, such an ungrateful bunch.
ReplyDeleteOf course derserving death just for getting advantages is technically too much, but this is a typical chinese novel, so dieing for less is the norm.
Thank you
