"They're with me," Tan You said, stepping forward from the back. "Clan Leader, you brought so many people with you?"
Chen Tianshui glanced at the grain Tan You had brought back. "I was worried you'd be exhausted from the road. Let's get into the village quickly. Your Auntie Liu Ying has already prepared the houses; she's just waiting for everyone to move in."
Tan You nodded slightly. "Alright. It's very late, so everyone will just have to make do for tonight. Tomorrow, once everyone is rested, the clan will hold a formal meeting. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver on everything I've promised you all."
A wave of relief washed over the crowd. In the months they had spent together, Tan You had never once broken her word. Now that a clan was willing to take them in, they would no longer have to wander. They couldn't be happier.
Ultimately, the people of this era had very simple needs. As long as they had full bellies and warm clothes, they were content.
