Three paths were presented to us, and everyone started discussing them spontaneously.
"Taking a detour is definitely not an option. If you don't die of exhaustion, you'll starve to death."
"But if we climb the mountain, we'll have to throw away all the extra food and bedding. Who knows what's ahead? If there's a disaster in the south, we'll be left with nothing."
"Oh, just throw it away. Wild fruits and vegetables, why can't you persist?"
"That's easy for you to say. You don't have much left at home anyway, so of course you're not afraid."
"Hey, I'd throw away food even if I had it!"
“…”
As the villagers talked, they started arguing.
Just as Suman expected, the villagers who had no food at home agreed to climb the mountain, while those who had plenty of food at home were reluctant to give up the food and began to explore the possibility of walking through the depression.
Only Wang Laowu's family was independent and suggested taking a detour.
Anyway, the food they have at home is enough to last them for a month, so taking a detour is the best option for them as it is neither dangerous nor requires them to lose anything.
His idea was immediately refuted by everyone.
"Wang Laowu's family, your family is not short of food, but you should at least consider us."
Wang Yongchang was also unconvinced, "I'm considering you? Then you haven't considered me either."
"Hey, then you can go your own way. We have no one to serve you."
"Why do you care about me?"
“…”
Seeing that the conflict between the two groups was gradually escalating, the village chief had to stand up.
"Well, I called everyone here today so that we can discuss things together, not so that we can argue. Since everyone in the village has their own ideas, why don't we just follow the majority?"
The village chief stood up and said, "Those who want to take the mountain road stand on my side, and those who want to continue along this road stand on the other side. Let me make it clear that I want to take the mountain road."
Everyone took their positions one after another.
Those who had no food at home chose to go to the village chief, and the rest who had surplus food, led by Wang Laowu, went to him.
By the end, both sides had taken half of their stance, and only Suman's family had not expressed their position.
Wang Laowu's party was very proud of this. They all knew that Su Man had a horse, and that horse was a rare thing. Wang the blacksmith and his son, who had horses at home, had already stood on their side, so Su Man was naturally not surprised.
As expected, an accident happened.
Su Man stood on the side of the village chief without thinking.
The village chief rubbed his hands excitedly, "If that's the case, then we..."
"Mrs. Zhou, you have to know that if we climb the mountain, your horse will be gone!"
Wang Laowu was unwilling to give up and was still trying to persuade Su Man, "Yes, Mrs. Zhou, with this horse, you have all the money for settling down. How can you bear to give it up?"
