"They are becoming increasingly arrogant, even daring to encroach upon spiritual objects and killing a batch to bolster the family resources."
Li Qinghong, who had never managed the family affairs and was inexperienced in strategies, furrowed her brow and asked:
"Why not kill them all and send our own people to Shanyue instead? Why keep this herd of mountain pigs?"
"Big sister,"
Li Yuanping replied with a gentle smile:
"If we replaced them with our own, they would be just as greedy. Plus, we would have to waste manpower from the Clan Head Courtyard to oversee them. If all the branches got hold of the benefits and joined hands, it would be troublesome to kill or uproot them."
"Oh,"
Li Qinghong's frown deepened as she spoke with a clear voice:
"But during my recent return to the mountain, I observed that all the branches below have nothing to do except take wives and concubines, indulge in games, and walk their dogs. I fear that this is not proper."
