Lü Guihua and Chi Dongyi were both elderly people, so they knew perfectly well that the two young ones were engaged in a back-and-forth battle.
Despite Lin Qiuyu being their granddaughter-in-law, in the eyes of the elderly couple, Chi Yu was the true treasure of their Chijia'ao and the future patriarch of their Chi clan.
Therefore, being protective of their own, they immediately turned serious.
Especially Lü Guihua, who was quite rude to Lin Qiuyu.
"Hey, Zhang's family, didn't you hear what your aunt said? Why aren't you leaving? What are you standing there for?"
At this moment, Lin Qiuyu hated Chi Dong and his wife to the core.
In her eyes, she was their granddaughter-in-law, the future head of the family.
They should put her first in everything.
Unfortunately, those two old men helped outsiders bully her.
This made her both angry and furious, and she wished she could kick those two old geezers out and freeze them to death.
Chi Yu saw that Lin Qiuyu hadn't gone out, and his expression kept changing, looking quite unpleasant.
She didn't intend to stir up conflict in the family, and seeing the situation, she said:
"If Ah Zhang's wife doesn't want to go out, that's fine. What I'm going to say isn't anything shameful."
After saying that, Chi Yu looked at Chi Dongyi: "Uncle Clan Chief, I have come here today for two things."
First, with the snow so heavy now, I think those who have a lot of charcoal at home can stop burning it if they don't want to anymore.
For example, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother's family.
We hadn't sold much charcoal to begin with, and now we have plenty at home, so there's no need to keep burning any.
Instead of wasting their time, it would be better to let them rest so they can go to the school and learn more characters from Master Shen.
Second, Aqing's fiancée, whose family has several brothers and sisters, is at the perfect age to go to school and learn to read.
Now that people have come to our Chijia'ao, even if it's just a temporary stay, we can give them a chance to go to school if they're willing.
The first thing I think we should do is allow everyone in the village to make their own decisions, based on their individual circumstances.
If they want to freeze to death rather than burn charcoal, that's none of our business.
The second thing, well, it's something I asked on behalf of the Wang family brothers and sisters, and for you, Uncle Clan Chief.
Since they won't be staying here long anyway, taking the opportunity to teach them a few words is a way of doing them a favor.
The Wang siblings are both of good character and are still young.
No one knows what fate awaits them in the future.
Without affecting ourselves, we can first establish a positive connection.
What Chi Yu said had no impact on the Chi clan.
Just as Chi Dongyi was about to open his mouth to agree, Lin Qiuyu, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes and said in a voice that everyone could hear:
"In the end, isn't it all for your brothers and yourself?"
Your brothers' homes have plenty of charcoal, so it's fine if they don't burn any.
But some people in the tribe, if we don't force them, who knows what will happen to them now.
As for sending the Wang siblings to school, so you're trying to benefit from the clan's reputation and improve your own image?
It sounds nice, like it's about building good relationships within the clan.
Then shouldn't they be thanking you?
In the end, isn't it all for your own benefit?
Using the clan to seek personal gain—only an abandoned woman like you would do such a thing.
No wonder she couldn't live in her husband's family!
Who knows how many shady things you've done behind Qi Xiucai's back?
If this happened in my house, I'd tell you to get lost too!
