Dongfang Meng loved listening to these stories, and she would cry as she listened. Dongfang Chen watched his sister cry and sometimes couldn't understand why women cried so much, especially since the stories weren't pleasant to listen to at all.
It's nowhere near as good as Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, when looking after his younger sister, Dongfang Chen could only read the book himself as the older brother. However, being so young, he couldn't understand all of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
There are characters they don't recognize. In fact, in the tribe, only the teachers can read all the characters. The other worshippers don't recognize many characters and just guess.
After the children fell asleep, Haitang put down her fairy tale book, covered them with blankets, and lay down beside them. The night was picturesque, and the four of them looked exceptionally gentle in the room.
It wasn't snowing outside today, so Haitang took a few children out for hot pot. Dongfang Chen and the others were very happy, and they took Haitang's hand and went out in a carriage.
Horse-drawn carriages are the means of transportation in this tribe. Each person pays one copper coin, but adults don't have to pay for children's carriages. After about ten minutes, we arrived at the entrance to the commercial area.
Haitang got off the carriage with several children and went to eat something nearby. Soon after Haitang appeared in the commercial area, someone came looking for her. When Langya looked at Haitang, he said, "Haitang, I've been looking for you for a long time. People from your tribe won't let me see you."
In fact, the reason Langya sought out Haitang was most likely because of the coal mine. Huoqiu was not happy about this. In the beginning, Langya was the one who wanted to make concessions. Huoqiu was just doing Langya a favor. Moreover, if you want to make concessions, you can make concessions; if you want to take them back, you can take them back. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
When Haitang looked at Langya, she asked, "What's the matter?" Upon hearing this, Langya looked at Haitang and realized what had happened when they went to a hot pot restaurant to eat.
"You mean you'll also pay for the workers, but you'll keep your two-thirds of the coal mine profits?" Haitang asked as she looked at Langya, who immediately nodded.
Haitang used a tissue to wipe the child's cheeks. Toilet paper was also available in the tribe, provided by the papermaking technology.
"Wolf Fang, you're wrong about this. You made the choice in the first place, and now you regret it. Besides, you're trying to get something for nothing," Haitang said to Wolf Fang, who was slightly taken aback.
"Have you forgotten that this coal mine belongs to the Fox Clan? Logically speaking, the Fox Clan should also get some. I gave them those two portions," Haitang said.
"You're just cheating! The beastmen from the Fox Clan have all come to your tribe. Giving them two portions is the same as giving them to the Tiger Clan!" Wolf Fang said through gritted teeth.
“You’re right.” Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded and said, “The problem is that we discovered this coal mine, and we also know its purpose. Didn’t the Wolf Clan tribe benefit from it?”
Haitang's gaze turned hostile, and her tone became unfriendly. Dongfang Chen, who was standing to the side, was stunned. He secretly glanced at Haitang, then moved closer to Dongfang Meng, who in turn moved closer to Haitang. This kind of mother was a bit scary.
Wolf Fang looked at Haitang after hearing this, and frowned. Haitang then said, "Our cooperation was agreed upon from the beginning. The Wolf Clan should have received a lot of benefits. It's like trying to bite off more than you can chew."
Wolf Fang looked at Haitang and thought that the Tiger Clan was the greediest. He felt that the Tiger Clan was the most greedy, but Wolf Fang didn't think it through.
The Tiger Tribe is greedy. The problem is that this thing, whether it has a function or a use, was given to them by Haitang. Moreover... in this world, if Haitang hadn't given it to them, how would anyone else have so easily known about the coal mine?
Wolf Fang was unwilling to give up. After arguing with Haitang, he was defeated and left. When Haitang saw the person coming, she immediately put food on her child's plate. Dongfang Chen said, "Mom... that person was so fierce just now. Is something wrong?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Haitang said calmly. Indeed, what was there to be afraid of? What should she say? Haitang knew very well that there was no need to waste words with someone who had ulterior motives.
Haitang couldn't help but laugh when she realized that the wolf tribe had already given them quite a lot, yet they still wanted more. Greedy people are always greedy, never considering that the initial few points were just free.
Huo Qiu, knowing that Haitang had been sought out by Langya, went to find her himself. He then noticed Dongfang Chen intently reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms not far away and approached with some surprise, asking, "Do you recognize all of them?"
"There's nothing I can do, there are some words I can't recognize, but Mom said it's okay... I'm still young," Dongfang Chen said immediately, and Huo Qiu nodded in agreement.
Dongfang Chen found it amusing; it didn't matter if he didn't recognize many things, and he was pretty much the same. "Keep up the good work! You are the hope and future of the tribe." The tribe was still the future and hope.
As long as these children grow up, the Tiger Clan will become even stronger in the future. Huo Qiu really hopes to see this happen, and he feels that he can live for at least two hundred years without any problem.
Because they eat better and their bodies are in better shape, it's normal for them to live longer. Dongfang Chen nodded upon hearing this.
Huo Qiu then went to find Haitang, "I didn't expect Langya to intercept you. How did you tell Langya about the coal mine?"
"Don't worry, would you spit out meat that's already in your mouth if you saw a tiger?" Haitang smiled as she looked at Huoqiu.
Hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded. "The coal mines on the Wolf Fang side are selling very well, and that's why they've got their eye on it. But don't worry too much, he doesn't want to cause any trouble, so he won't have what he has now."
