Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 70: Are You Tolerating This?

The men spoke one after another, and their words resonated among many others. In fact, they seemed ready to rob An Jiuyue’s house.

However, some disagreed and advised them not to act recklessly. They felt that having some food to eat in this situation was already good enough.

“Master, are you tolerating this?”

Wei Na wanted to give these men a beating but noticed that its master did not seem like she intended to argue with them.

When did she become so kind?

!!
An Jiuyue sighed heavily.

She could recognize the voices of the men who were dissuading the others. Amongst them were the two men who were sent by the Chief to take over her flood patrol duties the other day.

“They’re not beyond hope yet. I can deal with them after the flood.”

Dealing with so many of them now would only raise suspicion. It would be better to handle things slowly. She remembered everyone who insulted her anyway.

It was a relief that some good people understood how it was difficult for a young lady like her to take care of so many people.

But it would be her last straw if they ever became heartless too.

“This is human nature. World peace would have been a reality if everyone was good.”

Humans were like this. Even if you treated them well, they would still find it insufficient and demand more.

“Jiuyue, why are you standing here?”

An Jiuyue heard a hoary voice behind her and turned around. It was the Chief.

He stood a few steps away, looking at her. Behind him were two men, and they seemed like they had returned from the forest.

“I’m here to deliver some meat, Chief. We hunted some animals in the mountains today and made stewed pork. There is enough for everyone.”

She glanced at the mountain cave and added, “It seems like Brother Dog and the others felt that I was not giving them enough food and wanted to look for me. I’m here alone and was afraid, so I waited outside.”

The Chief’s expression darkened when he heard her honest words.

These heartless and ungrateful scums! How dare they act so shamelessly when they are already given food!

“I’m not trying to nag you, but you’re too kind,” the Chief replied.

He felt that it would have been better if she kept the meat. The weather was not too hot, so the meat could be kept for a couple of days without going bad. An Jiuyue could sell them at the town or the county after the flood subsides and purchase some grain with the money earned.

If she fed the meat to those heartless people, they would not even utter a line of gratitude. It would be a waste of such good meat.

He had been listening to their vicious complaints of An Jiuyue inside the cave over the past two days.

He wondered what she had done to offend them so greatly. Would it be better if she had not rescued them from the flood and allowed them to die of starvation in the waters?

One should not be so ungrateful.

These people did not think they were in the wrong. In fact, they believed it was An Jiuyue’s fault for not treating them better.

The Chief grew angry as he thought about this. He wanted An Jiuyue to disregard these people and allow them to starve to death—it was what they deserved.
