The Junior Officer suggested.
After he had returned home yesterday, his wife told him that An Jiuyue had stopped by to look for him. He hurriedly organized people to transport food onto the mountain.
He recalled that his wife had also mentioned that An Jiuyue had also gone to the Chief’s house but was chased away by Aunt Kang. Regardless of how much Aunt Kang detested An Jiuyue, he thought that she would still inform the Chief about it. Hence, he did not go to the Chief about this matter.
Instead, Aunt Kang implicated everyone and almost had everyone killed. She did not even apologize!
No wonder the Chief was furious.
Of course, when he went to organize people to transport food, many did not believe him and chose to go about with their day.
He did not concern himself with them and only organized hardworking people to transport food onto the mountains for storage. He had planned to persuade those who did not believe him the next day.
However, the flood came before he could do so.
“What? We’re going to that b*tch’s house? I’m not going!” Aunt Kang was unhappy when she heard that they were going to An Jiuyue’s house.
That little b*tch makes me so mad! She’ll definitely gloat if she sees all the hypercritical looks these people are giving me. Why should I give her the opportunity to make a joke out of me?
She would rather die than go to An Jiuyue’s place.
“Even if you want to go, I won’t let you!” The Chief glared at her fiercely.
Although An Jiuyue’s treehouse sat on a huge tree, the space was still limited. There were many people here. There would not be enough space for everyone.
Hence, he wanted to split everyone into two groups. One group would stay in the cave, while another would go over to An Jiuyue’s house.
“How about we assign the women and children to An Jiuyue’s house while the rest hides in the mountain cave? It’s not a good idea to have everyone go to An Jiuyue’s place. What do you think, Junior Officer?”
Since many of the men were discontent with the way An Jiuyue rescued the women and children first, he did not want to cause trouble for her.
“That… wouldn’t be a good idea?”
The village’s Junior Officer looked at everyone, not wanting them to go to the cave.
Although they could seek shelter from the flood in the cave, there were more wild beasts around the cave than around An Jiuyue’s house. In the past, when Old Tu was still alive and guarded the area, not many wild beasts dared to go there.
Those who went there never returned.
“Junior Officer, come here. Let me talk to you.”
The Chief saw that the village’s Junior Officer disagreed with him, so he pulled him aside to discuss quietly.
“Look at those people. They all look unhappy with Jiuyue. If we send them to her house, aren’t they going to cause trouble?
“Let’s follow my idea. We’ll only assign those who are nice to Jiuyue to her place.
“The others are not happy to see Jiuyue anyway. We’ll send them to starve and freeze a little in the cave as punishment for acting so self-important and scornful after she so kindly helped them!”
When the Junior Officer heard that, he felt that it was reasonable and nodded.
“Then the two of us…”
“You go to Jiuyue’s house, I’ll go to the cave. Someone has to keep watch over these people,” the Chief immediately replied.
