Elder Lin was furious. She had wanted to use this opportunity to make Ruan Chanchan give them some benefits; of course she was the most reluctant to hand Ruan Chanchan any benefits in return. In the past, her mother had suppressed her too much; how could she not take some interest back from her daughter and son? But who would have thought that Ruan Chanchan refused to play by the rules!? She would rather arrange her meals on her own than back down. This woman was in desperate need to be tamed or else she would dance on top of their heads.
She turned to look at the rest of the elders; they were looking sullen as well but Ruan Chanchan's remarks were right on. The heated beds were her ideas; if she wanted to give the idea to someone else, could they stop her? If they stopped her, then they would have to stop everyone who wanted to share their own share of ration and whatnot. If they did such a thing, then they would definitely evoke a sense of wrath from the members of the tribe.
