    Soon, the people were divided into three groups. One group was against it, mainly because of their daughter-inw’s familying over. Another group was firmly in support, primarily because it was their daughter’s family staying with them, while the majority stayed silent.


    “That’s enough. Shut up. We’re here to discuss matters, not quarrel.” The vige chief knocked on the gong and shouted.


    He continued after the crowd had quieted down. “Alright, those who agree to let their rtives stay in the vige, raise your hand.”


    After hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a moment. In the end, a few people raised their hands.


    “It seems like most people still don’t agree,” the vige chief affirmed with a nod.


    “Wait, vige chief; we’re the only ce with water. If we chase them away, wouldn’t we be killing them?” One of the people raised his hand and asked.


    “That’s right, vige chief. It’s our family. We can’t just watch them as they starve to death.”


    “Indeed, we can’t be too extreme in this matter.” <li>? ?</li>


    “What are you saying? We aren’t even stopping the people from drawing water from our vige.”


    “That’s right. The viges within ten miles line up daily to get water from here. It’s not that we don’t allow them to take our resources; we just don’t want them to live in our vige.”


    The vige chief saw they were quarreling again, so he struck the gong and reprimanded, “Alright, all of you shut up.


    “Since everyone is clear about the pros and cons here, let’s talk about the constable and my opinions.”


    “If you want to keep your rtives in the vige, we really can’t say much if you are bent on it.


    “However, whoever stayed had to guarantee these two points.


    “First, if the people who stayed behind ruined anything, you have to be responsible for thepensation.


    “Second, if there’s a conflict in your family, don’t look for us because we won’t and can’t mediate your troubles.


    “Go go back and discuss this matter. If you’re willing to vouch for your rtives,e to me and write a contract of promise.”


    Everyone fell silent. They could guarantee the first condition, but no one could be sure of the second condition.


    After all, those who could be the head of a family were basically the grandfathers of their families.


    It was normal to have some friction in any family, let alone in a disaster.


    If someone started a fight, would they be able to suppress it?


    Even if they could suppress their daughter’s family, being her parents, it was unclear whether they could do the same for their daughter-inw’s parents.


    At the thought of this, no one was confident that their family would be able to follow this agreement to its absolute.


    “Vige chief, what is your family’s n?” Someone asked curiously because everyone knew that his daughter had returned home.


    The vige chief didn’t answer his question but said, “This is precisely why we called everyone over. We want everyone to gather our rtives who havee from afar to live in the warehouse on the dock in town.


    “As for those close to home, just ask them to go home directly. This is for the best. If the family makes a big scene, it won’t look good for everyone.”


    “The warehouse? That’s too far.” Someone expressed their dissatisfaction.


    “Indeed, it’s at least four to five miles away.”


    “Is it far? Don’t the townspeoplee here every day to get water?” Tian Jing Zhong stated this at the time.


    “We’re all born farmers, and we aren’t asking them to water thend. Even a girl can carry two to three small buckets of water from five miles away daily.” The vige chief agreed.


    “Why don’t we let them build a shack outside the vige?” Someone asked.


    “Yes, isn’t it good to build a shack outside the vige?”


    “A shack?” The vige chief asked in return, “Is a shack morefortable and safer than a warehouse?


    “Don’t forget how close we are to a mountain. Disregarding all the different kinds of poisonous bugs, let’s talk about the wolf pack from the night before.. Would a shack stop a wild beast if another came down the mountain? If something really happens, who’s going to be responsible?”
