Lan Jiaojiao is the daughter of Lan Yuqing's sister. According to common usage, she should call Lan Yuqing aunt.
In She ethnic group, girls take their mother's surname, so they are called aunt.
"Ajian, come quickly. My little aunt is even younger than me, but she is the clan leader now. We should still be respectful to her." Wen Jiaojiao said in a sinister tone.
A man came out. Shen Peifeng frowned slightly, sat up, and pulled aside the curtain to look over.
The man was of sturdy build, dark skin, and a beard, looking rough. His facial features were passable, but he was ugly.
"I've met my aunt." Li Jian stood outside the carriage and said perfunctorily without getting off.
Lan Yuqing frowned and said nothing more. She raised the whip and hit Li Jian.
Li Jian didn't expect that a beautiful girl who looked ten years younger than him would suddenly attack him. He was standing outside the carriage and was not aware of it for a moment. He had no time to dodge and was hit hard by the whip. He couldn't stand steadily and fell directly to the ground, almost falling to the ground.
"Humph, this is how you should bow to your elders. Remember that?" Lan Yuqing stood on the carriage, looking down at Li Jian and Lan Jiaojiao.
"Dad." A five or six-year-old child rushed out from the carriage, helped Li Jian up, and cried to Lan Jiaojiao: "Auntie Lan, you said that as long as you are a man, the clan leader is yours. How could you watch her beat my dad?"
Lan Yuqing frowned, pointed the whip at Lan Jiaojiao and asked, "Did you say that?"
Lan Jiaojiao looked at the bloody Li Jian and said with her neck stiff, "Yes, I said it. This is the rule of the She ethnic group. If the clan leader is single, he must pass the position to the person with a partner."
"Aunt, you have never had a man, and you don't like to go. The outside world has changed dramatically. You are suitable to lead our She people. Why don't you pass the throne to me? I am a man and can give birth to the next generation of clan leaders. Besides, I often go out and see the outside world. I can make the She people strong."
Lan Jiaojiao spoke bitterly, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that it made sense; "Besides, the position of the tribe leader has always belonged to my mother, and you are younger than me. In all aspects, I am more qualified than you to be the tribe leader of the She ethnic group."
"Pa pa." Lan Yuqing snorted coldly, raised the whip and swung it at Lan Jiaojiao.
"Your mother passed away early and didn't teach you well, so let me, your aunt, teach you well."
"Pa pa." Two more whips. Lan Jiaojiao dodged left and right, but she was still not as fast as Lan Yuqing's whip. Both arms were hit. She was grimacing in pain and was helpless and furious.
"I am now in love with a man who can give birth to the next generation of clan leaders. You don't have one. According to the rules of the She ethnic group, you must give up the position of clan leader."
"Hahaha, that's easy for you to say." Lan Yuqing looked up to the sky and laughed: "Are you dreaming? Do you think you can become the clan leader just by giving birth to a child?"
"But without a man, the Lan family with children will definitely be the patriarch."
Lan Jiaojiao stroked her belly and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Aunt, I didn't hide it from you either. I've been pregnant with Ah Jian's flesh and blood for a long time. If it's a daughter, you have to give way."
"This is the Lan family's child. You are still the clan leader for the time being, so you must ensure her safety." Lan Jiaojiao touched her belly and walked in front of Lan Yuqing's carriage, provoking her fearlessly.
She was also afraid that Lan Yuqing would look for a man soon. Lan Jiaojiao knew that her aunt was very picky. The elders had found several educated men for her, but she had rejected them all.
Lan Jiaojiao felt that with Lan Yuqing's temperament and vision, she would always find a man she admired throughout her life.
Lan Yuqing's face was as dark as ink, and she was furious, but she dared not move the whip in her hand again. The Lan family had few descendants, and as the head of the clan, she did have the responsibility to protect the children.
“Hahaha, little aunt, you’d better admit your mistakes to me and Ajian. When I become the clan leader in the future, I will be able to give you food to eat. Otherwise, I will banish you to Jingxi Mountain and leave you homeless.” Lan Jiaojiao became more and more rampant.
In the carriage, Shen Peifeng was getting angrier and angrier. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice, with disgust and mockery, saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm really blind. Getting pregnant before marriage, having an affair without a matchmaker, is still considered a glorious thing. Should I give you a certificate of honor and broadcast it to you with a loud speaker?"
"Sister-in-law." Shen Peifeng immediately opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
Seeing Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue sitting in a bullock cart, he said excitedly: "Brother, sister-in-law, how did you find me? I was afraid that you were worried, so I wanted to go find you as soon as possible."
"Peifeng," Sheng Tunan cried with joy, trotted to his brother's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and asked concernedly, "Is your head injury serious?"
"Nothing."
"I was scared to death, and my husband almost cried. Last night, Brigade Commander Ye sent soldiers to look for you all night, but they didn't find you. Xinyue said that you might have been washed up in a nearby village. We made a plan and divided our troops into three groups. Xinyue and I, my husband and the fifth brother, Brigade Commander Ye and Fu Yao formed two teams and went around the small islands near Huanyu Island to look for you. Fortunately, we found you. When we were attacked, we didn't dare to tell mom. The youngest lied to her and said that we wanted to rush to the sea and stay for another day. Fortunately, we found you. Of course, we didn't know how to tell mom."
Sheng Tunan was so excited that he was incoherent. Shen Peifeng was also very excited when he saw his relatives after the disaster. The two brothers hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Zhan Xinyue jumped off the ox cart, walked over, caught a glimpse of Li Jian and Li Jianyan, and frowned. She knew that Li Shenxing was dead at the hands of his biological mother Liu Ruyan, but she didn't know why Liu Ruyan was not with Li Jian and Li Jianyan.
"Who do you think you are? Do you want to interfere in the affairs of our She ethnic group? Get out of my way!"
Lan Jiaojiao's face turned black after being scolded by Zhan Xinyue. She ran out of her carriage, picked up the whip and started to whip Zhan Xinyue.
Zhan Xinyue was so good at Qinggong that she dodged with a light leap. Before Lan Jiaojiao could react, Zhan Xinyue snatched the whip from her hand.
With two "slaps", the whip hit Lan Jiaojiao's mouth accurately. In an instant, her mouth swelled up like a sausage.
"You deserve a slap for your stinky mouth." Zhan Xinyue said, and turned around to see Li Jianyan looking at her with a very hateful look.
Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, this was the look in Li Jianyan's eyes before he was blown to death.
Wow, this little ungrateful bastard is also very stupid.
It's good to repeat it, it's wonderful to repeat it. Zhan Xinyue's mouth corners curled up.
