After the Hong clanâs great elder left, he locked himself in his room for a few days and did not come out. The Yan clanâs great elder had sent people to invite him many times, and he had personally gone to look for him. However, he had always been blocked by the Hong clanâs people, saying that the great elder was considering something. This could not help but make the Yan clanâs great elder, who had returned empty-handed, feel quite depressed.
Not only that, the scandal between him and the first elder of the Hong family had been spreading more and more fiercely these few days. There were even people who said that the first elder of the Hong family was the one who suffered. Although such rumors gave him a headache, his mood was much better when he heard someone describe the old man of the Hong family as a submissive. However, it wasnât good for the old man to keep avoiding him, right? Could it be that he had to continue to provide for the Hong family in vain? Thinking of this, he sent a guard to pass on his order.
From now on, the Hong family was cut off from food. After all, the two families werenât friends now, and they had lived here for so long. Therefore, they wouldnât be entertained. If they wanted to eat, they could buy it with their own money, cook it themselves, or get the ingredients to be cooked by the kitchen.
When the Hong family members heard this news, their noses almost went crooked from anger. What the hell is this? Why were the Yan family members becoming more and more stingy? In the past, when they had a good relationship with the Yan family, they wouldnât say anything even if they stayed for a year or so. But now, they had only stayed for a few days, and they were already complaining that they were idle. This was really too much.
Following that, the Hong clanâs elder Shan led the team to find the Yan clanâs first elder to reason with him.
âGreat elder Yan, what do you mean by this? They actually cut off our food? How could you do such a thing?â Elder Shan roared angrily.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there a problem?â The Yan clanâs first elder sat on a chair and sipped his tea, his tone extremely cold as he asked. He did not even lift his eyelids.
âOf course thereâs a problem. Youâre a guest, and the Yan clan should treat you well. How can you let us prepare our own food? Could it be that your Yan clan is so poor that you donât even have the money to prepare food for us?â Elder Shanâs face was flushed red as he questioned loudly.
âYup! You also know that our family head was injured by your great elder. In order to treat our family headâs injury, we have spent a lot of money, and you have been eating and living for so many days. We really canât afford to feed you. However, considering the friendship between our two families, I can continue to provide you with the accommodation for free and wonât charge you money, but you have to find a way for the food yourself. â The Yan clanâs first elder said with a difficult expression.
âYup! Elder Shan, the members of our Yan clan have been eating without a next meal, AI! Weâre all waiting for your Hong familyâs compensation to buy rice to cook!â An elder immediately chimed in and even exaggeratedly wiped his eyes.
In order to cooperate with his words, all the elders present sighed and looked worried.
âYou ...â Seeing the Yan familyâs behavior, elder Shan was so angry that he couldnât speak.
Seeing elder Shanâs face turn from white to red, and then from red to black, Yan tribeâs first elder laughed in his heart, but he still said with a serious face: âElder Shan, if youâre afraid of trouble, you can also pay us for your food. Weâll be able to prepare food for you every day like before.â
......
âNo need to worry! We will prepare our own food!â Elder Shan said in an unpleasant tone. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
Looking at the back view of the Hong family, the Yan familyâs first elder and the others couldnât help but laugh.
âSecond elder, send someone to keep an eye on them. Report to me immediately if thereâs any sign of trouble.â The Yan clanâs first elder instructed, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Three days later.
The first elder of the Hong family, who had been hiding in his room, finally came out.
Moreover, as soon as he came out, the Yan clanâs first elderâs men immediately arrived.
Looking at the haggard face of the first elder of the Hong family, the first elder of the Yan family chuckled and said,ââFirst elder Hong, whatâs wrong? I havenât seen you for a few days, how did you become so dispirited?â
âWhen did I? Youâre wrong. â The first elder of the Hong family suppressed his anger and said in a low voice. Seeing this guy as soon as he left the room, his mood became even worse. Moreover, elder Shan, who originally wanted to complain to him, didnât have the chance to speak. He could only keep winking at him.
âHehe! Thatâs not important. Iâm just here to ask if first elder Hong has considered it? Itâs been so many days, Iâm getting impatient. â The Yan clanâs first elder said with a sincere expression.
âGreat elder Yan, youâve asked for so many things at once. You should at least let me think about it!â The first elder of the Hong family, who was also a little impatient, said in a bad mood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFirst elder Hong, you have to think about it carefully. Once youâve thought it through, youâll have to spend time preparing these things. I want to ask, when will the compensation we want be delivered to us?â The Yan clanâs first elder frowned and asked curiously.
âWeâre not in a hurry, so why are you?â Elder Shan couldnât help but roar when he heard the Yan clanâs first elderâs words.
âYou are in debt, of course you are not in a hurry! But weâre anxious! Also, donât forget that there are still many people from your Hong family locked up in prison! Donât they need to eat every day? The longer we delay, the more our Yan clan will have to pay. So, if you donât pay the compensation quickly, and they starve to death in prison, donât blame me. â The Yan clanâs first elder indifferently reminded.
âWhatâs the meaning of this?â The first elder of the Hong family quickly asked when he heard that something was wrong.
âWhat I mean is, if you donât pay the compensation quickly, our Yan family wonât be able to afford their meals.â The Yan clanâs first elder said with an evil smile. In fact, from the day he cut off the food for elder Shan and the others, he had also ordered that the Hong clan members in the prison cell would only be given one meal a day. He felt that he had already done his best. After all, they were enemies!
âYou ...â The first elder of the Hong clan, whose face was flushed red, was a little angry after hearing the first elder of the Yan clanâs words. However, he couldnât say anything, nor was he in any position to criticize him. After all, the relationship between the two clans was no longer the same as before.
âFirst elder Hong, quickly make your decision! Itâs not good for us to drag this on. â Yan tribeâs first elder urged.
âGood! Since youâve said so, I have something to say as well. â The first elder of the Hong family said.
