Just as Li Jing was about to take a step forward, he heard Song Chenghou cough lightly behind him.
Li Jing stopped and turned around.
Song Chenghou said nothing, he just looked at her calmly.
His gaze was firm yet gentle, which suddenly calmed the restlessness in Li Jing's heart.
Seeing this, the surrounding Li people grew anxious, thinking that Li Jing was unwilling to confront the deputy clan chief...
People started discussing it.
"Young Miss, you can't abandon us!"
"Yes, Miss! We can only rely on you!"
"Young Miss!"
......
The noise and commotion were so bad that not only Li Jing, but the Song family members also felt a headache coming on.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Old Ninth Brother Song Chengyuan, with his fiery temper, roared, "What's all this noise about? Can't you give your young lady some time to think it over?"
You went to look for it in a large group, and you saw it for yourselves.
Can you please shut up for a moment and let your young lady think about how to deal with this?
All you do is argue! What else can you do besides argue?!
After Song Chengyuan unleashed his attack, the tall Li Ren fell silent...
The scene, where people were nearly deafened by the shockwave, fell silent instantly.
Song Chengyuan's words were anything but polite.
But because he was in the right, the Li people in front of him did not show any resentment or indignation when they looked at him.
Li Jing gave everyone a reassuring look, and seeing that his clansmen were no longer pressuring him, he calmed down even more.
Indeed, if the Song brothers hadn't reminded her, she would have gone with the clansmen in front of her...
They went to the deputy clan chief to reason with him, hoping he would release the granary and provide assistance to the clansmen...
Not to mention that the warehouse was already well-stocked with straw and grain, he and his clansmen went to ask Lin Hong for support...
Their attitude was tantamount to coercion; they claimed to be the ones requesting aid for their people, thus placing the deputy chieftain in the opposite position.
At that time, even if he opens the granary and distributes the straw and grain, the people will not be grateful for his generosity, but only for his own actions in helping them...
Moreover, Lin Sen was blocking the way.
If the granary isn't released, the clansmen will feel even more strongly that the Lin family father and son are abusing their power and disregarding the clansmen's survival...
From any perspective, Lin Hong will not release the stock.
He's the kind of person who overthinks things and wouldn't do anything that doesn't benefit him.
If I go there myself, there's a high chance I'll be stalled by Lin Sen and kept outside the door; Lin Hong won't show up.
Not only would they gain nothing, but they would also anger Lin Hong, who would feel that he and his father had done the good deed, making them look like bad people in front of their clan...
The typhoon three days ago severely damaged the village, and Lin Hong released the granary without the slightest hesitation.
Today's excuses and insufficient inventory in the warehouse may also be part of the reality.
But more importantly, even if we hand over the inventory, what if there's another unexpected situation and the warehouse is completely unprepared?
The clansmen and the clan chief will still blame him.
The clan chief's authority had to be invoked to force him to release the granary. The clansmen pleaded with him repeatedly, and he reluctantly released the granary...
Even if something unexpected happens in the future, if he has no reserves, no one can blame him.
Furthermore, they had no supplies whatsoever, and the tribespeople pleaded for help. Even the tribesman had to swallow his pride and beg Lin Hong for assistance...
This will make the clansmen understand more clearly who the truly powerful people are.
It is not true that whoever holds the highest position has the most power.
Only those with food and manpower are eligible.
This will further solidify the prestige of Lin Hong and his son, which had been damaged by several unexpected events last night.
Upon careful consideration, Li Jing could understand the Lin family father and son's scheme.
Because I understood, I wasn't so panicked anymore.
Li Jing turned around and looked at Song Chenghou.
This thin, young man wouldn't have offered that reminder if he hadn't genuinely wanted to help.
Since that's the case, she didn't need to be coy and simply asked for help openly.
After asking his clansmen to wait outside, Li Jing walked into the hall.
The Song family members and Jiang family's men stepped aside to make way for them.
Li Jing took a few steps, and Song Chenghou followed.
Seeing this, the other brothers followed suit, including Jiang Xinyu and his men.
