"The only trouble is the elders of the Shanyin tribe..." Qiao Yu introduced the situation of Elder Hui, Heiye, Mou and other elders.

"They want Ming to have a say in the tribe, or even make the entire Dragon Tribe obey them. They're definitely going to cause trouble. Keep a close eye on them, and think of some way to keep them in line."

Qiao Yu himself had a lot of things to do, and Lu and the others also had to do something. Qiao Yu simply handed Elder Hui's affairs over to them.

She further stated her stance: "I will not allow them to become elders of the Dragon Tribe and participate in the decision-making of major tribal events."

"Don't worry, Yu." Upon hearing this, Lu patted his chest and promised, "Even if we can't make them behave properly, we will definitely not let them ruin our business."

Everyone was talking as they walked up the mountain. They had already reached Qiao Yu's leader's building.

"Huh." Qiao Yu was stunned when he saw that a circle of walls had been built outside the chief's building.

"I heard from Xiaoquan that the things you planted in the yard are all treasures. Let's not talk about anything else, just take the ginger. If it is successfully planted, the people in the tribe will not be afraid of catching a cold in winter. We are worried that the children will be ignorant and come and trample on or pull out the grass, so we let everyone build a wall while there is time." Lu explained.

In fact, this is not the only reason why they built the wall.

In those days of poverty, children were expected to do things as soon as they could walk, and there were no such things as naughty children. The two upper houses, in particular, were where the tribal leaders and elders lived. These elders supervised and taught them daily, and the children were as frightened by them as mice were by cats. Who would dare to come and cause trouble?

It was simply that Qiao Yu had brought so much good to the tribe, allowing everyone to live a life they had never dared to imagine before, and everyone was grateful to her. They also felt that the leader of their Dragon Tribe needed to have the dignity of a leader. They couldn't afford to have a nice house while Qiao Yu's house was bare and empty, and the yard was also open, and growing crops was so important.

Qiao Yu had told Shan and Xiaoquan about her vision for the courtyard, and the men who built houses in the tribe also knew about it. So they simply took advantage of Qiao Yu's absence to help her tidy up the house, making it more impressive and comfortable.

Qiao Yu felt warm in his heart and stepped into the yard.

She had been away from the tribe for a month. Some of the seeds she had planted in the yard, like the ginger, had just sprouted, while others had already grown several inches tall. Regardless, the germination rate was quite good, and Qiao Yu was very happy to see it.

"Xiaoquan takes great care of the plants in your yard," Lu said with a smile. "Every day, he strictly follows your instructions, watering some more and others less."

Qiao Yu touched Xiaoquan's head and said, "Not bad."

Xiaoquan smiled at her and said, "Sister, I'm pretty good at archery. I want to join the hunting team. Is that possible?"

Qiao Yu glanced at Shan and said, "That depends on what Father wants. If Father agrees for you to go, I won't stop you."

When she came here, Xiaoquan was only ten years old. Half a year later, he is now eleven years old.

Although Qiao Yu still considered him a child at this age, in that era, as long as he was tall and strong, could keep up with the others when hunting, and could run fast when chased by prey, he could go hunting. In two years, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he could start a family.

Shan was the chief, and his family had plenty of food. Therefore, Xiaoquan's nutrition was considered good among the children in the tribe, and he was taller than his peers. When Qiao Yu first came here, he looked like a child, but in the past six months, he had grown a lot taller and no longer looked like a child.

Qiao Yu was the chieftain, earning the highest "salary" in the tribe. Even though she hadn't been with the others hunting recently and hadn't been in the tribe recently, her contributions to the tribe were undeniable. Therefore, she received a share of the pottery being fired, the carpentry work being done by the artisans, and the game hunted by the hunting team. Her income was more than enough to support Shan and Xiaoquan.

Not to mention that Shan also has an income as an elder.

Xiaoquan is only eleven years old. Many children his age in the tribe, if their families are better off, would not be allowed to go hunting in the mountains with them, for fear of encountering danger and dying. But Xiaoquan took the initiative to go hunting. This may be a child's eagerness to test the power of a new toy, but it also means that he is self-reliant.

Qiao Yu felt particularly relieved.

She wasn't a brother-supporting demon. In a year or two, even if Koizumi didn't propose it and Shan objected, she would kick Koizumi into the hunting team and go out with him for training.

Her brother, Qiao Yu, cannot be an idle second-generation rich kid.

Hearing Qiao Yu say this, Xiaoquan smiled at Shan and said happily, "Father, look, my sister has no objection. Can I go hunting now?"

Shan glanced at his daughter, nodded, and said helplessly, "Then you must be careful when you go up the mountain. Don't let your father and sister worry."

"I definitely will." Koizumi promised.

Qiao Yu was too lazy to think about the thoughts between the father and son, nor was she too lazy to guess whether Shan was reluctant to let Xiaoquan go and wanted her to stop Xiaoquan; or she was relieved that she let go of Xiaoquan and did not restrict Xiaoquan's behavior and hinder him from disciplining his son.

She wouldn't raise a useless child, and she certainly wouldn't let Xiaoquan use her influence to show off her power within the tribe. If Shan couldn't teach, she would do it; if Shan couldn't bear to manage, she would manage him. In short, she had to raise Xiaoquan to be a self-reliant person.

Furthermore, even if Koizumi went hunting in the mountains now, she was confident that the men in the tribe would take good care of him and prevent him from falling victim to wild beasts, given their respect for her. With the addition of the Sanyin tribe, the hunting team had grown from twenty to thirty, and their weapons had been upgraded, making hunting in the mountains virtually safe.

She walked along the specially left path, came to the front of the chief's building and pushed the door open. The first thing she saw was a pile of wood that had been cut into boards piled up in the hall.

Shan followed in and explained, "You need planks for building a building, don't you? The men who stayed behind volunteered to cut these for you at night. I couldn't stop them. But I limited their time and told them to take them home. They can only cut for a while after dinner. They each cut two planks during this time, and I'm afraid they'll get damaged in the rain, so I've piled them here."

Qiao Yu carefully examined the planks and discovered they were all pine, easier to cut than other woods and suitable for flooring. The sizes were carefully selected, ranging from 20 to 30 cm in diameter. While some of them were uneven due to clumsy tools, it was clear the men had done their best.
