The morning sun came out, casting shadows across the paved paths of the Li resident.
The distribution of the Grade Six pills brought far more happiness to the Li family than Li Jain expected. It also brought tons of resentments then he expected.
For several days, conversations about the pills could be heard throughout the different branches of the family.
Those who received nothing could only watch in envy.
In a secluded pavilion in the western corner of the resident, several branch elders and distant relatives sat around a stone table. The atmosphere was heavy with resentment. At the center of the gathering was Elder Gu. Since the distribution of the grade six pills a few days ago, he hadn't stopped talking about it.
"Five Grade Six pills." The man speaking held up two fingers: "Five! Do you know how much those would cost outside?"
"That's nothing," someone else said bitterly: "Elder Huang received nine. One of them was a healing pill."
