"Whether or not you can stay in Ya Village is not up to you, Clan Chief Ya!"
All of a sudden, a voice interjected. Upon hearing it, Clan Chief Ya instinctively furrowed his brows, it was his nemesis, the voice of Clan Chief Lin. Why would he be here?
"Clan Chief Lin, what are you doing here?" Turning around, he saw Clan Chief Lin followed by even more men than he had brought.
"What, if Clan Chief Ya can come here, I can’t? Has Clan Chief Ya forgotten? This is the courtyard of my Lin family. If someone comes to make trouble on my Lin family grounds, I as the chief, don’t I need to come and see?"
Clan Chief Lin glared at Clan Chief Ya, and with his men walked into Lin Caisang’s courtyard.
"Sangsang, are you alright? Did this old man hurt you? I had been delayed because I brought some men, sorry it took so long."
"Thank you for your concern, grandpa Chief. I’m fine, you came just in time." Lin Caisang smiled and said to Clan Chief Lin.
"That’s good, that’s good."
Hearing her say she’s fine, Clan Chief Lin felt relieved and turned to look at Ya Enxi.
"Enxi lad, you can rest easy, Ya Village hasn’t come to a point where only Clan Chief Ya can make decisions. As long as you have a house and land in this village, nobody can kick you out."
He pat himself on the chest while facing Ya Enxi, then turned to Clan Chief Ya.
"Clan Chief Ya, I really can’t see it. At such an old age, you’re still threatening the younger generation. Do you have the right to speak for all of us in Ya Village?"
"He’s surnamed Ya, so why can’t I ....."
"Didn’t you already expel him from the clan? Whether Ya Enxi carries the surname Ya now or not, how is that related to you?" Clan Chief Ya’s unfinished sentence was cut off directly by Clan Chief Lin.
"I really feel sorry for the people on the Ya Clan’s genealogy. Are they listening to you because they’re being threatened by you?"
While speaking, he glanced at the young men behind Clan Chief Ya and noticed their sullied expressions.
"Even if you’re the clan chief, you can’t decide where others live, that’s their freedom. Enxi didn’t live in your house, why are you extending your hand so far?"
"He didn’t live in my house, but he bullied my Yu Ju, that’s true...why are you laughing?"
Clan Chief Ya stopped speaking when he heard Clan Chief Lin’s scoff, and asked him.
"Enxi’s wife, despite her loud voice, washes clothes, cooks, attends to her husband, takes care of the child, manages her home orderly, and even completes the men’s activities in the field when she has time. Additionally, she is ranked among the beautiful daughters-in-law of our village. As long as Enxi is not a fool, he knows which is the better one."
Clan Chief Ya: "...."
So what if you have a good daughter-in-law? Haven’t you heard the saying ’wildflowers smell better than home flowers’?
But of course, he couldn’t say this out loud. Does he have to say that his granddaughter is a wildflower? He couldn’t bring himself to do it.
"Enxi is indeed lucky, thankfully he was expelled from the clan. If he was still part of your Ya Clan, who knows how much you would have bullied him to. It’s good, it’s good."
With those words, Clan Chief Lin lightly sighed, patted his chest, which looked as ridiculous as it was funny.
