Chapter Fifty-Three: Don't Underestimate
Xia Chan shook her head, "I don't think this is good. Let's go, I'll go with you to the patriarch's place."
Very tired, but I'll deal with some things quickly.
The patriarch also rested. His daughter-in-law was scrubbing clothes downstairs. When she saw her laughing, "Little Chan, you are here."
"Yes, there's something to do with the patriarch."
"Father, father."
There were some noises coming from the dark wooden building, and the patriarch's cough sounded, and the dim candlelight lit up after a while.
"Little Chan, you are just back from work, I'll pour you a glass of water."
"You're welcome to be a polite Aunt Nian."
After entering the wooden house, the strong smell of smoke was so choking.
"Little Chan, I heard that the waterwheel is ready?"
"Yes, it does not require manpower. As long as there is water, it can keep turning the water day and night, so that we can avoid getting water and running far away, and we don't have to worry about irrigation of crops in the mountain nests at that time."
The patriarch nodded: "You are really a capable person. I am so old that I have never heard of these things. It's so amazing."
"I saw it in my uncle's idle book, but I didn't expect it to be able to do it."
"It's really different to read a lot of books." The patriarch lit a hookah again, took a deep breath before saying to her earnestly: "Little Chan, don't blame the clan members for noon, if you change to another one,
, Our Xia clan will not be so stingy, even if the Zhou family is not good. As the patriarch, I cannot focus on yours in everything.”
"Class leader, you will ask Sun Ning not to plow the land tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, the people of the Zhou family are eyeing each other and they can't let them learn secretly, otherwise they will turn over quickly and we will lose the fields."
"It's so tiring and slow to drive slowly with the hoe. This is a difficult strategy. The patriarch, no matter what kind of grudges we have between our two families, we are now people on the same boat. Only by uniting against the outside world can we achieve a common goal.
win."
The patriarch disagreed: "We are better than the Zhou family now, so why should we rely on them?"
"I don't think so. Although I don't know Zhou Zhishen very well, I don't know why he was exiled here. In the past two days, I can see that the people in the Zhou family are many times better than those in the Xia family.
They worked hard and arranged in an orderly manner, and were united as one and the other. It would not take long to be stronger than the Xia family."
"Don't overestimate him. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a disabled person. Can he still be able to go to heaven?"
Xia Chan shook her head: "Look at people's weaknesses, no one in the world can be friends with. Looking at people's strengths, all the world is my teacher. People are not afraid of overestimating themselves, but the most impossible thing is to underestimate others. We should show our attitude and be with Zhou.
The family advances and retreats together, so that there is no harm. Otherwise, the Miao people, the government, or the green forest robbers or the white tiger on the mountain attack, how do you think our clan fights? If this is arranged on purpose by someone, then
We two tribes fight, who will benefit?"
The patriarch remained silent and sighed for a long time: "Let me think about it."
"Okay, then I'll go back first." She was really tired and didn't drink nutrient solution even in the afternoon.
As soon as she left, the head of the patriarch's daughter-in-law and son went upstairs and said softly: "Father, we think Xiaochan is very reasonable. Xia Xiu is very selfish. Besides, how can a married man be allowed to let him go
She came to control the affairs of our clan, and didn't know what she was thinking. We have to rely on Xia Chan for many things now."
