Who knows, one day we might become slaves of a conquered nation.
She didn't understand the thought process of the ancients.
But hearing that she would abandon her own father for the sake of a so-called better life makes one inexplicably angry.
Although the second chieftain was a bit short-tempered, straightforward, and inflexible, he was still impeccable in his treatment of his children and wife.
Hearing Mo Lan's accusation, Xiong Yanyan blushed slightly. "So, you're saying we can just abandon our mother?"
“I didn’t say that. Besides, it’s not up to me whether we need to or not. I heard that when your maternal grandfather came looking for you, he wanted to take you and your mother back to live for a while. Didn’t the Second Chief agree without saying a word? He didn’t stop your mother from reuniting with her family. But what happened? Your mother never came back. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she abandoned her husband and children.”
“Every family has its own troubles. I won’t go into your grievances, but I do know that since you and your daughter left, my second uncle’s temper has become even more volatile.”
A perfectly good family was inexplicably torn apart by the Song family. Given the Second Chief's uncompromising nature, it's quite remarkable that he didn't storm the mansion.
Now they want to take their son away too. To put it nicely, it's because they love their son, but who with eyes can see doesn't pity the Second Chief and say that the Second Madam is cold-hearted?
She went back to her parents' home and took several children with her, leaving the second chieftain all alone. Was this a good thing or selfish?
“What do you know? Mother said that only with the protection of our maternal grandfather can my brother get rid of the reputation of being a bandit and appear in front of the world openly. We are not changing our surname, and it will still be the Xiong family descendants who bring glory to our ancestors in the future.”
Despite her words, Xiong Yanyan was clearly lacking in confidence. This time when she returned, her father looked at her strangely. Although he didn't say anything to blame her, his affection for her was gone.
"Get rid of the reputation of bandits? Did your mother say that or did the Song family say that? If you're not stupid, you should know that when war really breaks out, do you think the Song family will protect you? You'll be lucky if they don't see you as a burden then."
When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact? Only marginalized figures like them managed to escape the disaster.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, Qinglong Village is the safest place, even safer than those aristocratic families, just because it's a bandit stronghold. As long as no one is brain-dead and wants to wipe out the bandits, we're safest here."
As Mo Lan spoke, she picked up her teacup and took a sip. If Xiong Da and Xiong Er weren't now her subordinates, and if the Second Chieftain wasn't still in charge of White Tiger Cliff, she wouldn't have bothered explaining so much to this brainless girl.
But when she noticed the disdainful look in Xiong Yanyan's eyes, she didn't even have the temper to complain.
"You can leave now, don't spoil my tea-drinking mood." Hopefully, the Song family will have some backbone in the future and won't have to beg Qinglong Village for help.
Seeing Mo Lan serving tea and seeing the guests off, Xiong Yanyan immediately stormed off in a huff.
It was truly bizarre; she was actually a little afraid of Hua Molan's eyes.
With no one in my way, it feels great to have a drink alone.
The next day, after breakfast, Mo Lan tidied herself up and went directly to the heart of the back mountain.
We encountered two grazing goats along the way, so we hunted them to give them a treat.
Bang bang~
The two goats were thrown to the ground. Mo Lan clapped her hands, drew her pointer from her waist, and...
Where are they?
"Boss, you're here." The team member who had been temporarily brought in to be the cook ran out, wiping his hands.
"The captain took him out for training, he should be back before dark."
