"The tribe used to distribute food to them. They were not starved, if that is what you are thinking. If they had, then they would have died long ago; after all, the cubs need a lot of nutrition."
"But you just said—" Ruan Chanchan began, but Yuan Ni answered her question before she could even start.
"I said that they did not have enough to eat, not that they didn't eat anything." Yuan Ni cleared the misunderstanding at once. "They just had little to eat, as there was not much to eat in the tribe, and since there is no one to take care of them, they are often overlooked. Because of this, they are more or less starved."
"I thought the tribe gave food to everyone." Ruan Chanchan frowned. She had heard Xie Daiyu say that the tribe would often send food to the elderly and the orphans. Why was it that they were suddenly not given enough to eat? Did Xie Daiyu lie to her?
