I Left, and the Family Collapsed
Before, I would always advise him, make him study hard, make him understand that as the heir to the family, he needed wisdom, not just brute force; such a family wouldn't last.

I remained silent.
Over the next few days, the food became increasingly scarce, and eventually, even the food that was delivered was spoiled.
