At the same time, the already busy Xuanhuo Island became even busier due to the arrival of guests like Lin Mengya and the others.
Lin Mengya and the others went back to rest, but no one on the island did.
Especially Tiexinlian.
She has an impatient temper and has to finish everything first before she can be in the mood to go to bed.
In Lin Mengya's words, Aunt Lian is the kind of person who has a strong execution ability. She has to settle everything down first before talking about anything else.
With people like this here, no one in charge of Xuanhuo Island can even think of taking a break today.
Even Granny Yinhua, who was yawning repeatedly, was forcibly pinned down on the chair by Aunt Lian.
"I said, Girl Lian, do you want your mother-in-law Yinhua to take my life?"
Grandma Yinhua was extremely helpless.
The reason why she went out to meet the distinguished guests before was just to express her importance, and now the person in charge of the island is no longer him. She is at most a useless old lady. But she didn't expect that the person in charge would...
When he said this, he immediately made a sad face and said to Granny Yinhua: "Auntie, besides you, who can control this girl? Otherwise, I will leave this matter to you.
, I can’t bear it anymore.”
The person in charge is called Tieshi. He is just a temporary manager. The real person in charge is his wife.
It's just that because his wife has been out shopping for supplies recently, this burden has been temporarily placed on him.
But he is not that good at all, so he can only listen to Granny Yinhua or the next person in charge, Girl Lian, in everything.
Granny Yinhua looked at Tie Shi's wrinkled old face, with a bit of disgust in her eyes.
"Look at you! It's not that Zhao girl is not around, so I asked you to come out and take charge. I'm already so old, and I won't let you young people handle everything. How could you still want me, an old man, to continue to work hard for you?
?”
Tie Shi pursed his lips in grievance and did not dare to speak. Granny Yinhua was the oldest and most senior elder on the island.
They don't value bloodline inheritance here, they value ability more.
The reason why his wife was able to sit in this position was that his wife really had the ability and connections to bring a lot of supplies to their island.
Tie Shi believed that he did not have this ability, so he could only temporarily help his wife manage the family.
Who would have known that it would be such a coincidence that a distinguished guest would come to his door when his wife was not at home. This made him, a person with no big ambitions, even more at a loss.
Fortunately, Grandma Yinhua and Tie Xinlian are still here, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to deal with it. Tie Xinlian should call him cousin according to seniority, but in fact, their age difference is at least sixteen years, and they are married.
They all treat Tie Xinlian as their daughter, so this time, Tie Shi also fully supports
Tiexinlian welcomes distinguished guests.
But although the people on the island are very harmonious, their thoughts may not be in sync.
Some of them are particularly disgusted with outsiders coming to their island.
Even those who do serious business with them will feel that the people outside have bad intentions and must be coveting their iron ore or smelting recipes.
Tie Xinlian did not inform this group of people. She did not mean to disrespect the other party, nor did she want to kill them first and then show off.
But she understands that opportunities cannot be lost and never come back. If all the time is set aside to argue with them, the people on the island may miss this best opportunity.
And when she saw that Miss Huo could actually treat fire disease, she knew that she was doing the right thing. If he hadn't made a prompt decision and welcomed the person over first, he would have waited until the other person became impatient or found a better cooperation.
Partner, wouldn't it mean that the people on their island would never be able to get a cure for fire disease?
?
This is something more important to them than iron ore.
After all, no matter how important those ores are, they are still dead objects, but people are alive.
The reason why they guard this island strictly is to survive and no longer be like their ancestors thousands of years ago, who were just wandering around.
If she couldn't tell this clearly, then she felt that there was no need for her to be the master of the family in the future. She might as well just work hard every day like those brainless guys.
Not long after, several people came in noisily.
However, after they saw Granny Yinhua in the first place, they immediately showed respectful expressions and bowed to Granny Yinhua. Then they slowed down their voices, but still questioned Tie Xinlian.
"Tie Xinlian, how can you just let people in without our consent?"
"That's right. Didn't the island owner tell us before he left that if there is any major matter that we need to discuss together? It's a good thing for you that you actually played with us and started to kill first. Do you deserve the island owner's trust in you by doing this?"
"And those are all foreigners. Do you know what kind of thoughts they hide towards us? What if they want to steal our iron ore and smelting recipes? You are inviting a wolf into the house!"
They questioned Tie Xinlian one after another. At the same time, they also felt that if Tie Xinlian was like this, she would not be worthy of being their next island leader!
As an island owner, shouldn’t the most important thing be to be responsible for the people on the island?
If she is so reckless, if she is deceived in the future and brings in those jackals, tigers and leopards, won't the people on their island never have a chance to turn around?
Tie Xinlian was a person who couldn't help but talk. When she heard being questioned like this, she snorted coldly and said: "We will discuss it with you. If we really negotiate it with you, the day lily will be cold!"
"They were brought here by Tie Da and Tie Er. Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe those two children? Or do you think they will cooperate with outsiders and frame the people on our island?
"Also, haven't you seen the gifts that the Huo family gave us? They are full of good things that we can't even buy here. If you think iron ore and smelting recipes are important, then we will stick to them."
Those things are for
What are you doing? Isn’t it to make the people on the island live a better life?”
Although Tie Xinlian dares to think and act, she is not a reckless person.
On the contrary, after Tie Da and Tie Er got back the gifts, she was the first to interrogate the two children for a long time, and even asked some very detailed questions.
Every child who is sent out of the island will be trained by the elders of the family for a long time before leaving.
They may not be able to tell the difference between people's hearts at a glance, but they can figure out the character in the subtleties.
If they were not sure that the other party really had no problem, they would never dare to take him back, especially Tie Da and Tie Er, the leaders of their generation.
All the children on the island will be arranged according to the birth order of their peers when they are born. They will not have their own names until they come back safely after traveling outside as adults.
And these two children were the first ones to come back.
Tie Xinlian was very satisfied with their observation skills and believed in their judgment.
If everyone on the island was as timid as those people and felt that everyone in the world had ill intentions toward them, then their island would have been unable to defend itself long ago.
Opportunities and risks coexist, this is a principle passed down from their ancestors.
It's a pity that these people used chicken feathers as arrows, thinking that this was the right thing to do.
But they forgot that Xuanhuo Island did not have that much material at all, and they could only continue from generation to generation through transactions with other places.
If it weren’t for these children running around outside, and if there weren’t generations of island owners taking risks, they wouldn’t be alive today!
Seeing that the two parties were about to start a quarrel, Granny Yinhua looked at both parties, and finally she tapped her cane hard.
Everyone was shocked by the thumping sound.
Even Tie Xinlian shut up immediately, not daring to make any mistakes.
"Okay. I haven't slept all night, and I'm going to have a headache from all the noise from you."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, and a faint smile flashed across Granny Yinhua's eyes.
These are good kids, and all they think about is for the best of the island, but sadly, their situation now is even more tense than before.
Both parties are doing it for the good of the people on the island, but they have different starting points.
"Grandma Yinhua, how about I help you go back to rest first?"
Tie Shi spoke cautiously. He never participated in any disputes between the two parties because he believed that he did not have as smart a mind as his wife. Even his tongue was not as flexible as Lian Yatou.
But in his heart he supports his wife and Lian Yatou.
Although he only left the island when he was an adult, and finally came back with his wife, he knew how much the outside world had changed.
However, because of his clumsy tongue and lack of other abilities, he could only live on the island, which also made his wife run around every day.
While feeling guilty, his only thought was to support his wife in all her decisions.
Since his wife asked him to listen to Granny Yinhua and Girl Lian in everything before she left, he could just do it.
Others were also a little distressed, and they all said that they could ask Granny Yinghua to rest first, and that they, the juniors, could handle these matters.
Grandma Yinhua sighed and said, "You guys! It's true that you are all good children, but when you encounter anything, you can't just do it just because you're afraid of trouble."
When the conservative people over there heard this, they understood that Granny Yinhua wanted to criticize them, so they lowered their heads in shame, but they didn't feel that they were wrong in their hearts.
Granny Yinhua looked at Tie Xinlian and said in the same tone: "Girl Lian, your fault is that you didn't tell everyone about this in advance. Even though you were kind-hearted, it caused a misunderstanding. Do you know
Wrong?"
Tie Xinlian immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Grandma Yinhua, and admitted her mistake. "Girl Lian knows she was wrong."
