Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Our Face is Exceptionally Big

"Clan Chief Lin, what’s going on here? Is it Sangsang intentionally making it difficult for us by not wanting to share the water?" The person who spoke was a clan leader of the Ya Clan, who has always had a good relationship with Clan Chief Ya.

Hearing his words, Clan Chief Lin and Land Officer Uncle Jin both simultaneously cast disapproving glances at him.

"Old Ji, what kind of talk is that? Is Sangsang that kind of person?" Clan Chief Lin asked coldly.

"Uncle Ji, stop talking. Sangsang is right. We must discuss how to use the water, then talk to Sangsang." Land Officer Uncle Jin also addressed Old Mr.Ji.

"I..."

"Old Ji, shut up. Don’t you think our crops haven’t completely died from drought?" Old Mr. Ji tried to say something, but was interrupted by another elder of his clan.

"Exactly, I found Sangsang’s words extremely reasonable."

Another elder looked at Old Mr. Ji, speaking up in support of Lin Caisang.

"Who doesn’t have selfish thoughts? If Sangsang says we can use the water, everyone would rush to draw water for irrigation and use it all up in three to five days. What will we do for the days to follow? Sit and wait for the crops to die of drought?"

"This..."

"Don’t ’this’ and ’that’."

Old Mr. Ji tried to say something, but was interrupted again.

"We’re not hoping for the fields to gush water when we step on them. We just want the crops to stay alive, not die from the drought, so everyone can have a full meal. There is water on Sangsang’s Manghuang Mountain, but that water is limited. Her own crops need watering too. Isn’t it ridiculous to give it all to us?"

"That girl already said, she has harvested a round of rice, even if ..."

"If she’s being polite to us, can we really think of it as a blessing?"

Hearing Old Mr. Ji’s words, two leaders of the Ya Clan directly cut him off. Their words were exactly the same.

"Old Ji, we need to know our limits. If someone respects us, it doesn’t mean we can be arrogant. Why should she sacrifice her own crops for us, who are no kin or close relation to her? How big are our faces?"

"Exactly, Old Ji, don’t say such things in future. Are you not embarrassed, we elders feel our faces burning in shame." Another elder said.

If Clan Chief Ya is no longer reliable, then this Old Ji certainly can’t be holding them back anymore. Otherwise, the Ya Clan might have to resort to eating tree bark.

"This... you... "

Old Ji was so infuriated by their words.

Had he said anything wrong? The Lin Family had already harvested rice and many other grains. He distinctly saw sacks of grain being transported to their home.

He wasn’t asking them for a share of their food, but was it so unreasonable to use a bit of their water?

"Clan Chief Lin, the several elders of the Ya Clan, why don’t we go to my house now and finalize the water usage?" Land Officer Uncle Jin, seeing that Old Mr. Ji had stopped talking, made the suggestion to everyone.

The matter of water usage couldn’t wait. Once it was sorted, he could let go of the worry in his heart.

"Okay."

Clan Chief Lin nodded his head, indicating his agreement with Land Officer Uncle Jin.

"Old Ji, if you have matters to attend to at home, you can leave first." One of the Ya Clan elders said to the outspoken Old Mr. Ji.
