“Jiang Huai, you’re over forty years old. You should think about the consequences before you do things.”
Third Grandfather ignored them and told everyone to disperse.
Jiang Huai and his group, having failed in their attempt to steal a chicken, ended up losing more than they gained, and some even contemplated suicide.
Once they left the clan chief's courtyard, they started blaming each other and almost came to blows.
“Father, with people like them, it’s no wonder that Shuyun has distanced herself from the clan.”
Jiang Qin felt annoyed just thinking about it; they were a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
"They cannot represent all the people of the tribe; most of them still have a sense of shame."
You don't need to worry about them; your second brother's family is going to the county in the next few days.
Shuyun's wife has bought a lot more woodland and is currently clearing it.
Steward Li sent a message yesterday, saying he'd hired more than ten households of farmhands from the village; apart from your second brother's family, there were no members of the Jiang clan.
Third Grandfather could see clearly that Jiang Shuyun and her husband—no, it was Ziwen—knew everything about Jiangjia Village, who was who and what kind of people they were.

However, he wasn't as fixated on things as his father, who was concerned about the Jiang family.
Apart from Shuyun's branch of the Jiang family, the rest were farmers who relied on the weather for their livelihood and were mostly illiterate, yet they talked about bringing glory to their ancestors.
If you just honestly do your job and have Shuyun and the others looking out for you, work hard, and you have enough to eat and drink, you should be grateful. Don't talk about bringing honor to your ancestors.
He had made up his mind: his son wouldn't have to return to Jiangjia Village in the future, nor would he need to come back as the clan chief; it was pointless.
Third Grandfather understood to some extent that his ideas were somewhat unrealistic.
Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, he doesn't care anymore.
