The Price of a returning the favor

An intense atmosphere filled all of them now, whether Ge Wuan would be able to fulfill his original purpose or grandfather Zhou would be able to fulfill his lust to make uncle Ge Wuan unable to fulfill his purpose.

"I'll ask Ge Wuan to finish his story first, because this strange situation was created by grandfather Zhou alone, and according to the rules of the Wu tribe for generations, grandfather Zhou's deeds are acts of dishonoring others, but since the situation is unfavorable, I'll have Ge Wuan start the story first."

Grandpa Ming Qi said, he himself was also a bit confused by this situation, after all, they were all gathered here just to discuss the core of the matter, namely the matter of Cang Yan's life, Grandpa Ming Qi did not expect that Wu Zhou Huan could make accusations just because of personal matters.

Normally people would ignore Zhou Huan's words, but here in the Wu tribe village, even strange behavior would be entertained.

"Thank you elders, I'll get straight to the point, Cang Yan saved my life once, and therefore I also promised myself to save his life as well, is that enough reason to accommodate Cang Yan O elders?"

Everyone here was obviously shocked, why is that?

The entire Wu clan knew that Cang Yan was a passive person, but had not brought much trouble in his lifetime, of course a passive person would not be too influential.

But here, Ge Wuan told them that Cang Yan saved his life once.

For the Wu village, saving a life is the same as giving a second chance to the person saved, and the person saved is Ge Wuan, an active but quiet uncle, an uncle who is known to be good, and certainly contributes a lot to the Wu tribe.

Therefore, indirectly, Cang Yan also got a share of his uncle Cang Yan's contribution, because of saving Ge Wuan's life in the past.

"Ao Nan, it looks like I'm going to win hehehe, how about this?"

"Tch, I can't do anything, like the victory is clearly on you Wu Liang"

"Hey you two, can you shut up, don't bet on others, it's not good"

As usual, Ao Nan and Wu Liang continued their bet, but Shan Yu who did not like the name of the bet, immediately broke up the two of them.

"It turns out that in his lifetime Cang Yan was a person of many merits, what are we going to do now, will the ancestors who have known for a long time be angry with all of us?"

Huang Xie's aunt said, she was the most obviously worried and discouraged, how could she not, she always reduced Cang Yan's rations even though Cang Yan himself was part of the hunting group.

Almost all branches of the Wu clan family always thought that Cang Yan was just an orphan, a lazy adult, not really helping much, but that was just their own opinion and definitely not to be shared.

But this was an extended family that had been together for generations, how could they not be able to understand each other without even speaking, this was called family bond intuition.

("Should I reduce Ge Wuan's bread portion?")

She had long been accustomed to thinking that Ge Wuan was the ideal person for her, this thought had been with her until she finally discovered the fact that Cang Yan's contribution was greater than Ge Wuan himself.

As the person in charge of food distribution whose reputation and honor were highly regarded, this was a severe blow to his soul and mind.

("Why did you hide that Ge Wuan, why did you hide such an important fact?")

Huang Gu's grandfather said in his mind, as the husband of Huang Xie's old aunt, her problem will obviously also have an impact on him Huang Gu's grandfather.

In his mind now, not only would his reputation and honor be compromised, but also the speculative threat that his ancestors would dislike him as well.

"Wu Ge Wuan, someone who has contributed a lot to the Wu tribe's farm, without a single complaint, how could you hide this? Why didn't you tell your superiors back then?"

Ming Qi's grandfather said, as the eldest, he had to clear the path of the matter so that it would be clear and not become a tangled thread.

For Ming Qi's grandfather, Ge Wuan was a person he looked up to, but with the statement he had just made, this changed his view of Ge Wuan now, although not significantly.

"Since Cang Yan himself asked for it, I, Ge Wuan, had already insisted on telling the superiors back then, but personally, Cang Yan had always rejected it vehemently all the way as we walked back to the village back then."

Uncle Ge Wuan said, in an expression that slightly implied sadness, his voice sounded nervous, but his posture firmly displayed an aura of courage and a great responsibility to repay someone's favor.

"It seems like it is indeed a good reason, but do you realize that by telling this fact, you yourself will be regarded as the second person, and your entire share will be cut because of this? And also of course it will be considered as compensation for Cang Yan, are you aware of that?"

Asked Huang Gu's grandfather, inside him was in turmoil, one side was his mind that always put forward the rules of the Wu tribe family, and the result of that rule was to require Ge Wuan to compensate for the entire share he had received in his life, and it would be given to Cang Yan.

But in his heart, he really wanted to help Ge Wuan, Wu Ge Wuan, was seen by him as a good person and a promising figure for the Wu clan to be the next meeting hall elder candidate.

Even so, rules are rules, and the feelings of the heart can never surpass the rules that have been set, especially since these are the rules that have been used throughout the history of the Wu tribe's descendants.

"I Wu Ge Wuan accept everything that has been determined by the elders"

Uncle Ge Wuan said in a bitter tone while bowing his head, now he was completely convinced in his mind, that he should prioritize the reciprocity of a person rather than just a pleasure indirectly made by that person.

("Huh Ge Wuan, I thought you would be my successor, but unfortunately fate said otherwise")

Lin Xiong's grandfather said, in his life, he watched Ge Wuan almost every day while working hard on the farm, and he was even amazed that the farm animals could easily get along with Ge Wuan.

To him, Ge Wuan's achievements were the greatest and most unique compared to him and the other elders.

But as the Wu proverb says.

A day with dark clouds does not mean there will always be a storm.

Ge Wuan's hard-working figure and many contributions turned out to be a mere passing wind.

Because basically, all the things Ge Wuan did would not have happened if Cang Yan had not saved him first.

"Wow, Uncle Ge Wuan is really great, I admire him, what do you think Ao Nan?"

"Although uncle Ge Wuan has actually violated and deviated from the rules, but I know clearly that we all respect and love uncle Ge Wuan, but of course that old man doesn't"

"ohh so it's just a matter of the Wu tribe's rules clashing with personal feelings huh?"

"You could say that."

"You two already understand, even though you are still young, i is like losing to you, i only understood after you told him"

"Sister Shan Yu naturally does not really understand, because this problem is very rare, you can say this is a rare event, I also did not expect that uncle Cang Yan was willing to live in inconvenience and let uncle Ge Wuan live with the burden of responsibility for returning the favor on his shoulders"

Ao Nan, Wu Liang, and Wu Liang's older sister Shan Yu were whispering at the edge of the small crowd.

Everyone stayed away from Uncle Ge Wuan and Grandpa Zhou, leaving the two of them in the center of the crowd, just like a trial, but right now there was indeed a trial of the Wu clan.

"Alright Alright, we elders of the Hall have made a preliminary conclusion first, so about..."

"Wait!!, what about my story, you only listen to Ge Wuan's story"

"Zhou Huan, we're sorry, but we hall elders also think that your accusation just now is just a personal accusation, and as for your words pointing at Lin Wen as an advocate, I won't take it any further, and Brother Lin Xiong will personally take care of Lin Wen"

"HAH! What are you guys like? How can you pass me off like I'm not important?"

Grandpa Zhou said with an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Zhou Huan, enough is enough, you will be given the punishment of underground cave confinement, but considering your contribution to the Wu tribe village that you have done for dozens of full moons, and also because of our compassion for you old man, we will punish you by making your status as house arrest, and you will be released on the next full moon, you will be allowed to go out only during the ancestor respect ceremony in the near future, and you will return to house arrest again after all that"

Huang Gu's grandfather said, while Shang Wei's grandmother also couldn't do much this time, so she just kept quiet, personally she just preferred to talk about matters related to other things, things other than having to take care of Zhou Huan's grandfather.

"Huh? I refuse!"

"Stop!!! Zhou Huan, your right to speak will be revoked and we won't listen to a word you say from now on, and we'll just take your every sentence as a passing wind."

Ming Qi's grandfather said, his heart hot right now from having to face someone he now considered to be half-mad and mentally ill.

"Gosh, you guys really look down on me, I didn't even get a chance to say my statement"

Zhou Huan's grandfather said with annoyance and anger, he immediately turned around without saying a word, leaving all the branches of the family who were staring at him with various expressions, strange, disgusted, annoyed, and others.
