Tailin nodded and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, Qiongya would be in danger this time."
Yao Dong smiled coldly, "How did you get into our Yandong Village?"
Liang Su smiled and said, "I came in with the medical team. I was thirsty and wanted to find a place to get some water. That's when I saw Qiong Ya by the well."
Yao Dong narrowed his eyes, looked her up and down, and pointed at Shen Congji.
"You're not in league with them, are you?"
Liang Su admitted frankly, "This is my husband, but I did come in with the medical team and discovered Qiongya by accident. This comrade seems very suspicious of me, but isn't your son the one you should be most suspicious of right now?"
Yao Dong's eyes were icy cold. "I think this is all your own doing! First you pushed Qiong Ya down, then you found someone to rescue her. You think that because you saved her life, you can do whatever you want in our village!"
"You mean, Qiongya lied? This is the first time I met Qiongya today. How can I deserve her to cooperate with me in lying?" Liang Su asked back.
What Yao Dong said is totally untenable.
Tai Lin interrupted calmly: "Yao Dong, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about the army first."
Qiongya didn't expect that Liang Su would actually be Shen Congji's wife, and immediately she wanted to help.
She took Tailin's arm and said, "Mom, let them build the lighthouse. It won't cause any loss to us anyway."
"What do you mean by no losses?" Yao Dong was furious. "There will be soldiers guarding the lighthouse. Doesn't that mean our village is always exposed to them? I don't agree. I absolutely don't agree!"
Qiong Ya smiled coldly, "It's useless if you disagree. You are not the clan leader, my mother is!"
Tailin glared at her secretly and said, "Qiongya, if you keep talking nonsense, get out."
Qiong Ya stamped her feet vigorously. "She is my savior. Is this how you treat your savior? I am your only daughter, and your only daughter was almost killed by this father and son!"
Yao Dong's eyes were bloodshot, "Qiong Ya, stop talking nonsense, Yao Wei can't hurt you!"
Qiong Ya retorted sharply, "Who pushed me down? Don't I know? And who said they would call for help, but they haven't come back yet! Wu Shen, you will be punished."
Liang Su did not participate in their quarrel, but looked at Tailin from beginning to end. Her words were the final decision.
Tailin pinched her brows and said, "Okay, I agree to let you build the lighthouse. But you'd better behave yourself and don't do anything that will harm our Yandong Village, otherwise..."
Shen Congji said solemnly: "Chief Tailin, we only borrow the land to build a lighthouse. Rather than getting into conflict, we prefer to coexist peacefully with Yandong Village and develop together."
Yao Dong said anxiously: "Taelin, your decision will harm the tribe!"
Tailin raised her hand to interrupt, "I've already made my decision, you don't have to say anything more."
"How can you make a decision on your own to bring outsiders in? Don't you care about the opinions of other tribesmen?" Yao Dong argued, trying to change her decision.
Tailin said, "My decision is their decision. As long as I make the decision, they won't have any objections. Yaodong, I have indulged you for too long, and you have forgotten who the clan leader is."
Yao Dong's expression changed drastically. "Look, they just arrived and they're already trying to sow discord between you and me. One day, your weakness will allow these people to occupy our home and make us their slaves!"
Liang Su chuckled. "You're being unreasonable. The medical team comes here every month for free medical treatment. Do you think this behavior infringes on your rights? Then tell me, what rights of yours have been violated by them coming all the way here to treat you and give you free medicine?"
Tai Lin sighed, "Yao Dong, you forgot that it was Dr. Chu who helped Yao Wei with his last asthma attack."
Qiong Ya nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Don't be ungrateful and confuse good with bad."
Yao Dong's face stiffened. "I didn't say medical team, I meant the army."
"The medical team is also part of the army. They are one with the army. The fact that the medical team is here to provide free medical services has already demonstrated the army's attitude. Doesn't Chief Tailin feel the army's sincerity?"
Tailin had actually been struggling with this for a long time, and the army had indeed brought benefits to the tribe.
A head-on confrontation would be harmful rather than beneficial to Yandong Village.
"Yao Dong, I have already agreed to build the lighthouse, you don't need to say anything more."
Yao Dong was indignant and obviously extremely dissatisfied with her words, but due to her majesty, he continued speaking in court.
Shen Congji stood up and said, "Chief, we will take our leave now. We will notify you when the construction start time is confirmed."
Tailin nodded. "I also hope to live in peace with the army. Please don't let me down."
“No, we just want to build a better home together with Yandong Village, I promise.” Shen Congji said seriously.
Tailin smiled slightly and said, "You should thank your wife. If she hadn't saved Qiongya, I would never have let go so easily."
Shen Congji was indeed surprised that Liang Su had solved the problem easily without any intervention or even much talk.
What's important is that this matter was resolved peacefully.
"We will report this matter to the army, commend Comrade Liang Su, and express our gratitude to the villagers of Yandong Village."
After Shen Congji finished speaking, he took his men away.
He glanced at Liang Su and motioned her to follow him.
Qiong Ya took Liang Su's hand and said, "Sister, let me take you out."
Liang Su responded with a smile, "You guys go first, Qiong Ya and I will go together."
Only after walking out did Liang Su have the mood to look around Yandong Village.
This place is as primitive as what I saw in my dream, with thatched houses, straw sandals and straw hats.
The clothes they wore were made of wear-resistant linen, so Liang Su's appearance made them curious.
I never knew clothes came in so many different colors.
Liang Su also saw a child chewing raw meat and frowned as he asked, "Qiong Ya, are all the people in your village like this?"
Qiong Ya took a look and was already used to it.
"It's the same for everyone. It's much better now. Most people cook their meat before eating. That's fish, it's okay to eat it raw."
When Liang Su saw other people's houses, he found that Qiongya's house was very clean.
Flies were everywhere and rats were running all over the floor. To describe it as dirty and messy would be an understatement.
"Qiongya, have you ever read a book?"
Qiongya shook her head. "What books are there to read? People in Yandong Village don't need to read."
"The knowledge in books can help you lead your people to a better life. Just like Doctor Chu, he knows how to diagnose patients, and he also learned from books. Do you think he is powerful?"
When Chu Yi was mentioned, Qiongya became excited.
"Of course he's awesome! He's the best! I've never seen anyone more awesome than him!"
Her admiration for Chu Yi has penetrated deep into her bones, and her image as a little fangirl is immediately apparent.
