At this point, Achen paused for a moment before saying, "Our ancestors fertilized the terraced fields with their blood and sweat, and supported the stilted houses with their backs, but what about now?"
"We are poor, backward, inflexible, and some people even call us Miao barbarians, fools, and people who care about face and are afraid of losing face?"
Ah Chen's voice grew louder; he stood up abruptly and shouted:
"We're so poor, what's there to be ashamed of?"
"Our ancestor Chi You did not bow his head in defeat. Are we to be bent over by our poverty?"
As he said this, Ah Chen patted his chest.
After all, he had witnessed many heartbreaking things in the Miao region these past few days.
"Look at this blessed land, everyone. Look how beautiful my Miao village is, and how blue our river is."
“Look again at how exquisite the silver ornaments and batik on Grandma, Auntie, and Aya are.”
"But I'm puzzled! Such good land, why not make use of it?"
"The Han people say that I, Mu Achen, am doing well, and that the Miao people are doing well! But is it really good if I, Mu Achen, am the only one doing well?"
"If all the seedlings are doing well, then that's truly good!"
Ah Chen suddenly lost his temper, and no one knew why, nor did anyone object.
Because the future Miao King won't say these things without a reason.
These past few days they've been out and about, and every place they've visited, the poverty they've witnessed has been heartbreaking for them.
Besides, he is the future Miao King, Achen!
"Ah Chen, just tell us what your plans are, don't be angry!"
"Yes, Ah Chen, just make the arrangements."
"Achen, you point out the general direction, and the other spirit maidens will help with the arrangements."
…
The seedlings spoke up.
After Ah Chen, who had been angry, sat down, he said:
“That day, in the Tianti Miao Village, when I was chatting with the aunties, I said that I have five sons and I wonder if I have any illegitimate children.”
"Qian Miao is my eldest son; Xiang Miao is my second son."
"How can I feel good when my second son is not doing well where he lives?"
*Pfft*
Hahaha!!!
After getting angry, Ah Chen suddenly said these words--
In an instant--
After a moment of stunned silence, the hundreds of core Miao people in the courtyard, including Aya and the aunties, all burst into laughter.
The serious atmosphere just a second ago--
The next second--
The clouds parted and the fog dissipated.
