✨ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ✨
Chapter 131.3 – Nomads
In contrast to Shao Fei, Guan Su was calm and composed. “What is there to be angry about? That old codger is just trying the strategy of retreating to advance.”
“Hmph, all these old guys are so self-righteous. It wasn’t easy to get rid of Xu Wei Ye, and now there is this Ha Si Mu. Why didn’t he stand up [and do something] when Xu Wei Ye was causing trouble in Ali Xiang, huh?” Shao Fei looked unhappy.
“When Xu Wei Ye was still in power, he didn’t have the courage at all. The nomads’ schemes weren’t good enough, so they weren’t Xu Wei Ye’s opponents at all.”
“Nomads?”
“Yes, there are actually two big ethnicities in Ali Xiang. You should have noticed that there are some people with special names and surnames. They are nomads. Since a long time ago, they have lived in Ali Xiang and survived by roaming to wherever there was a water source and grass. Later, a large number of outsiders flooded into Ali Xiang. This resulted in fewer and fewer nomads, and thus they’ve been in a disadvantaged position all this time.”

“Then what do we do next? I heard that some people are dissatisfied with wangfei’s decision and plan to leave with Ha Si Mu.”
Guan Su said, “If they want to leave, let them leave. It’s not like Ali Xiang can’t function without them. Just take this opportunity to clear them out. Furthermore, use your stupid head to think about it. Do you really think that there are that many people on Ha Si Mu’s side?”
“Isn’t it?” Shao Fei blinked.
Guan Su helplessly explained: “What is the name of the new mayor?”
“Ta Li!” Shao Fei immediately gave him a look of ‘how are you dumber than me?’
Guan Su did not get angry. “Ta Li’s father and mother are both purely of the nomadic race. If the mayor is an foreigner, then the nomads would stand on Ha Si Mu’s side for sure, but Ta Li is not only a nomad, he also has a good reputation among the nomads. It’s not easy for a mayor to come from the nomadic race, so why would they oppose? Just wait and see. In a few days, the opposition will definitely be suppressed.”
Hearing how solemnly Guan Su was talking as if he were making a vow, Shao Fei also started to become skeptical.

The peasant woman returned home angrily and yelled: “It’s too much, how could they talk like that?”
“What’s the matter?” Ta Li’s father walked out of the kitchen, saw his wife’s angry expression, and immediately asked with concern.
“It’s those people, they’re saying that Ta Li is bad, that he would squeeze out his elder [from the position of mayor]. Clearly Ha Si Mu resigned from the position of deputy mayor himself. How dare they blame Ta Li?” The peasant woman expressed her anger. She was very upset that people were talking bad about her son.
Ta Li’s father sighed, “The mouth is on their face. We can’t stop them [from talking].”
“Well, I’m not happy about it.”
After the peasant woman finished shouting these words, Ta Li just so happened to come back home. The peasant woman turned around when she heard the sounds, she saw her son, and her expression became even more aggrieved.
“Ta Li…”
Ta Li supported his forehead with his hand, “Mom, there really isn’t anything to be angry about.”
“I just want to be angry.”
“Then what if I tell you that very soon they won’t be able to say such things anymore, then you shouldn’t be angry, right?”
The peasant woman’s eyes lit up, “Why is that?”
Ta Li shrugged, “You’ll know in a few days anyway.”

Her son didn’t want to say, and the peasant woman knew that no matter how she asked him, he wouldn’t say it, so she had to give up. But in order to verify her son’s words, she paid attention for the next two days, and then she discovered that the elder of the clan invited Ha Si Mu over [for a talk].
On the third day, the rumors slowly subsided.
The peasant woman finally knew what her son meant.
The nomads were a united ethnic group. They have never been about the individual. When internal conflicts arise, they would choose whatever was more beneficial to the group as a whole. Ha Si Mu was a deputy mayor, but Ta Li was the new mayor of Ali Xiang. Which one was better was obvious at a glance.
The appointment of Ta Li as the mayor was a good opportunity for them to develop the nomads, so the elders of the clan would never side with Ha Si Mu. This was why Guan Su and Ta Li were so confident.
Happy New Year! 🎉🎆
