Chapter 203 Who do you think you are? Why do you object?
Si Yu walked out and turned to look at the residence behind him, which symbolized the highest position in the tribe.
She thought, maybe it was because she fed them too much every day?
Let them think that they are still in the old Qiuyu tribe, that they don't need to take her seriously, and that they are still the supreme elders of the tribe?
After returning, she called all 20 small chiefs together and announced a piece of news -
They will accept people from the former Qiuyu tribe.
"Chief! Why?" Si Xue asked in disbelief.
"Didn't you say you would never accept traitors?" Si Yuan was also shocked.
Si Feng considered it more comprehensively. "Just now, the elders called you over. Did they tell you this? Is this what they meant?"
A young man directly stated, "I disagree!"
“…”
The sound of multiple voices.
Almost all of them disagreed.
Everyone asked her why she changed her mind, but couldn't help but blame the past.
Blame the old leader for making such an irresponsible decision.
They blamed them for abandoning them and taking away all their farm tools, making them have a hard time and almost starving to death.
Now that they have finally recovered, they come and bully them again...
Si Yu glanced at these people one by one, observing their expressions, and then said in a deep voice, "This is the decision made by the elders after consultation. Does anyone have any objections?"
Her voice was sharp and authoritative, which gradually silenced the voices of dissatisfaction.
In the end, they all lowered their heads and kept silent.
Si Yu seemed to want to convince them, so she took the initiative to ask the only small chief here who was not from the Qiuyu tribe.
"Ji Shuo, are you dissatisfied with this decision?"
“…”
Ji Shuo had just come back from cutting bamboo, and his first reaction to the news was also surprise.
But on second thought, it’s normal.
Blood ties cannot be severed.
Besides, those people have left the Lie Ri Tribe and cannot remain homeless forever. The elders will not agree to that.
But even though I understand it and have accepted Si Yu's firm statement that she would not accept those people, I still feel a little disappointed when I hear this news.
He is not like the people of Qiuyu tribe who boldly express their dissatisfaction.
Accustomed to hiding his emotions, he sat quietly in the corner without saying a word.
However, unexpectedly, Si Yu would ask him by name?
He raised his eyes and met those sharp eyes. For some reason, he immediately thought of the last time she scolded them.
Scold them for not daring to fight back when bullied, and for swallowing their anger when suppressed.
He also said, if you continue like this, you will be kicked out of the tribe...
After a few moments of silence, he spoke his true thoughts in a deep voice, "Yes."
Everyone, “???”
Countless eyes were focused on him.
It seemed that they had not expected that this outsider was even bolder than them and dared to oppose at this time.
Did he not hear the question clearly?
"You oppose this decision?" Si Yu repeated to confirm.
Ji Shuo replied, "Yes, I object. You said before that you would never accept a traitor and would not change your mind because of anyone's opinion."
Si Yu admired his attitude very much, but she didn't say anything, just looked at him steadily.
Then someone couldn't help it.
"Who do you think you are? Why do you object?"
“…”
Everyone's gaze shifted from Ji Shuo to the person who had just spoken.
She is a little girl of young age.
She is the granddaughter of an elder in the tribe. She could have followed Si Dan at first, but she stayed for the old man. She is a very filial child.
Si Yu also turned his head and looked at her, his eyes becoming even colder.
She just wanted to see where the elders got their confidence from.
She guessed that there was someone in the tribe who made them so aware of the tribe's movements.
But unexpectedly, there really is someone...
"You were the one who took the initiative to say you wanted to take care of the poultry, right?" Si Yu stared at her intently. "I heard a lot of poultry died? Why didn't you come and report it to me?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment. "Chief, we are talking about accepting our people. Now is not the time to talk about poultry..."
"When did I say anything that required me to listen to you?" Si Yu said coldly.
The girl was silent, looking at her with doubt and caution.
I don't know why her expression suddenly changed.
Si Yu looked at her for a moment, then changed the subject, "Okay, then let's say we accept the tribesmen. Do you think Ji Shuo can't object to this decision? Why?"
"He's not from our Qiuyu tribe! He's just an abandoned waste, worthy only of being a slave to our tribe!"
The little girl said with disdain, "Tribe members are connected by blood. This is the rule set by our ancestors! How dare he, an outsider, oppose the return of our tribesmen?"
Si Yuan immediately refuted her, "You can't say that. The chief has already said that as long as you are accepted by the tribe, you are one of our people."
"Absolutely not! The elders have always disapproved of this statement, and it must be corrected in the future!"
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Some people feel powerless, as the tribe is about to return to its previous state.
Some people felt something was wrong because the young chiefs who were chosen were the ones the chief trusted the most.
Why does she support the elders so much?
Only Ji Shuo probably understood Si Yu's intention.
She wasn't really announcing the news today, but she wanted to pick out someone like this...
Si Yu continued to confirm, "You always listen to the elders. So, you didn't report the poultry deaths to me, but instead reported them to the elders?"
The little girl didn't care. "What's the difference? Even if you are the chief, don't you have to obey the orders of the elders?"
Si Yu looked at her, his eyes full of disappointment.
She still remembered that after the sacred flame was extinguished, she stayed awake for several nights in a row, staring at the people on duty, fearing that they might have any ulterior motives.
When it came time to choose the little chief, she was the one who took the initiative to approach her.
He also wanted to contribute to the tribe.
How long has it been now, and his true nature has been revealed?
She has always been on the side of the clan elders, and just like those old guys, they never respected or recognized her!
"Who said I have to listen to the elders?"
Si Yu spoke word by word, facing the other party's astonished eyes, "The Qiuyu tribe was abandoned by our ancestors, so we don't have to abide by their rules. I brought everyone here to survive, and my words are the rules."
The little girl suddenly pointed at her and said, "How dare you, how dare you disrespect our ancestors..."
"Since you value blood ties so much and cannot tolerate others, then you should go and live with the people of the original Qiuyu tribe."
“…”
The little girl's eyes widened.
I can't believe she can say such a thing.
She shrieked, "Didn't you declare you accepted them? You're lying! And you dare to kick me out? Are you going to kick out the elders too?!"
"To deal with traitors and disloyal people, what's wrong with lying to you?"
Si Yu sneered, "I'm talking about you, all of you get out, including those old guys."
This time not only the girl was shocked, but everyone else was stunned.
Chief, are you going to drive out all the elders?
There has never been such a precedent before!
