Chapter 111: Chapter 111: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give a man a fish
The two arrived at the base of a mountain.
Gaiyin was still immersed in a gloomy mood, his whole demeanor seemed off!
Su Tang was feeling extremely aggrieved at this moment too!
She clearly did not intentionally tumble into Gaiyin’s arms, and he was well-aware of this. Was it necessary to be so upset with her over that incident?
Moreover, she sought him out mainly due to tribal matters. His impatient behavior made Su Tang feel as if she was barking up the wrong tree.
"What do you want from me?" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Su Tang gently bit her lower lip. So he was indeed impatient!
If Gaiyin knew what Su Tang was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out that he was being wronged!
"I heard from Red Fruit that winter would be very cold! I could request some warm clothes from the Holy Temple, that only requires a little bit of currency, just like the ones I’m wearing, very warm. That way, the females and cubs of the tribe will not freeze to death!"
Gaiyin’s eyebrows immediately furrowed and he declined, "No!"
Su Tang put on a disheartened face, seeming almost on the verge of tears.
Was her kindness being repaid with ingratitude?
This was too unreasonable!
The suppressed feelings of discomfort inside her were choking her, making it almost impossible to breathe!
Su Tang didn’t want to deal with Gaiyin anymore. If he didn’t agree, then so be it. It wouldn’t be her responsibility if someone froze to death later!
She turned around, preparing to leave.
Gaiyin suddenly stretched out his hand to grasp Su Tang’s wrist!
"What are you doing!"
Su Tang turned back around, glaring fiercely!
Her round apricot eyes were brimming with tears and her voice was choked with sobs!
Gaiyin was taken aback. His heart was already in a flutter!
She was about to cry!
What to do?
Why?
He wanted to pull her into his arms and hold her tightly, but seeing her resistance made him reluctant to do so!
"You...listen to me..."
Su Tang shook off Gaiyin’s arm, fiercely wiped away the tears at the edge of her eyes and sniffed, "Alright, talk!"
He saw that Su Tang was unlike the other females in the tribe who would quarrel with their partners and then run off without letting them finish their sentences!
Gaiyin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly explaining, "My tribesmen are all hardworking and kind Beastmen, I don’t want them to become lazy and rely on you for everything! That would tire you out!"
"You could teach them how to make clothes, how to create tools, but you shouldn’t directly hand over clothes or tools to them. If you did, they’d become lazy, and our tribe will never grow! The Beastman God wouldn’t like lazy Beastmen either!"
"I’m not refusing your help. On the contrary, I need it a lot! You taught my tribesmen to make backpacks, gather chestnuts, and make pottery. I remember all these! Su, thank you!"
This was the longest conversation Su Tang had heard from Gaiyin!
In fact, she understood Gaiyin’s worries after hearing his first sentence!
As the saying goes, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Giving someone a fish is not as good as teaching them how to catch one!
This simple logic made Su Tang blame herself for not thinking of it!
If she recklessly bought all the tribes’ Beastman females cotton-padded clothes, it would indeed be a disaster for the tribe! Not knowing how many years and how much manpower it would take to produce such clothing!
If such a large quantity appeared on the Beastman Continent and in the Winged Tiger Tribe, it wouldn’t be a big issue if it went unnoticed. But once discovered, the implications would not only involve her but also entire Winged Tiger Tribe!
Thinking this, Su Tang felt somewhat grateful!
